School improvements Voted.
The special school meeting of the
Graded district called to consider the
question OF heating, ventilation and sani-
tation of the two school buildings, was at
tended by about 80 voters last Thursday
evening E. r. Stone, representing the
Fuller Z Warren Co. of Boston, was pres
ent and submitted plans and estimates for
the work, explaining the subject IN detail.
Ii was voted TO adopt the report of the
prudential committee, which favored Mr..
stones plan as TO the heating and venti-
lation, and included necessary altera-
lions and improvements il the closets,
leaving them where they are. The total
expense for both buildings il S454l.
The committee were authorized to bor-
row the money, as needed, on the credit
of the district, on best terms possible, TO
cover the outlay. Work will begin this
week, and will be rushed as fast as posi-
bic, in the hope that the job will be practi-
cally completed at the beginning OF the
fail term Of school.
The plan is to install in the Easements
furnaces of special construction, that
shall take the fresh air from outside
through eonduits, heat it and send it up
to the several rooms by vertical shafts.
The temperature OF this air can be regu-
lated for each room from within the room
by moving a valve in the shaft, adding to
or reducing the amount OF cold AIR, but
not changing the volume of air, which is
supplied at the rate OF not less than 30
cubic feet per minute per pupil. The
warm, fresh air comes in at the top OF the
room. The foul air is taken out at the
bottom and discharged up the chimney by
a stimulated draft. There is also an ar
rangement for using the escaping warm
air over and over, when school is not IN
session, so as to economic fuel. The
steam heating apparatus now IN will be
used as auxiliary.
The company guarantees that the serv-
ice shall be satisfactory; that the rooms
can be heated to 10 IN any weather; that
there will be not over g. difference in va
rious parts Of the same room; and that
there will be no troublesome drafts This
concern has installed the same system in
buildings OF neighboring towns, with sue
cess. A considerable part of the contract
price is to be withheld until a thorough
trial can be made.

NV ROMFTLI on the arrival Of
RV news that Sheridan had car
ried Five Forks on April /,
1865. General Grant ordered
demonstration on the Petersburg lines.
General Humphreys, with the Second
corps, attempted to carry the Confeder-
ate trenches on its front, but found the
enemy too active. \ commandment was
kept up all night, and General Grant
ordered an assault at t O'Clock on the
morning of the ID with the men Of
Ord's, Wright's and Parke's commands.
The point chosen for Wrights Sixth
corps was to the left of the Weldon
railroad, where Federal Forts Fisher
and WEIGH We're located. The Confed-
crate picket pits in front of these forts
had been taken on the 25th of March,
and they now offered shelter for the
masSing of troops to storm the high
parapets which formed the Confederate
line here
General Parke was to move the Ninth
corps forward on its own front oppo-
site Fort Stedman and between the
Norfolk railroad and the Jerusalem
plank road Wright's corps carried all
before it, pressing on to the South Side
railroad leaving, however, the original
defenscs encirclng Petersburg Oh the
right rear intact. This compelled
Wright to face about and form Il new
line Ord and Humphreys also carried
the works on their front, and, pressing
through to Ilatcher'S run, cut the Con-
fcderate army south of the Appomat-
toX in two General ParkeS Ninth
corps troops took the outer lines in
front of them. but could not carry the
inner lines. The Confederate artillery
was all in position ana swept every
foot of ground along the whole front.
Several attempts were made by Gener-
al John i. Gordon. who still command
ed the COnfclCratCS in front of the
Ninth corps. to rptlkc the ground seiz-
ed by Parlle, but they all failed. Gen
eral \. =. Hill was killed on this line
while going ont to lead his troops
against the assIilants, who had broken
through the intrrnchments.
Up to this time General LOngStrcet
had been north of the AppomattoX con
fronting the Army of the James, but
the situation in Petersburg drew him,
with Fields division. to the scene OF
the new danger. The river roads along

but Richmond was invested north and
east, and the play of twenty miles be-
tween the two places and single out

tween the two was all that remained
now to the army with Lee, the chief re-
lance of the Confederacy.
The losses in the siege have never
been separately computed. The lines
under Grants control extended from
Petersburg to Richmond and two ar
mics operated upon them. the armies
of the Potomac and of the James Each
of these armies REINFORCED the other

when the troops of the Army of the
James attempted to seize the place in
advance of the arrival Of Lees army.
From the 10TH of June to the close of
the actual fighting in the trenches on
April ,, 1860. there had been constant
collisions along the lines. collisions va

assault at Fort Stedman March -.
1865, and the attempts made at various
times to drive off the forces Grant
placed in observation along the Weldon
road during the summer and fall Of

existence of the COnfederacy was stalk

tion involved was at no time actually
surrounded. 1t was simply one end Of

wash them III warm suds, squeezing

not rubbing on washboards. Then
they may be boiled, rinsed, blued,
starched lightly while still wet and
dried as quickly as possible. Dip
the Oldest curtains first, for these
will thin out the starch and give it
a better consistency for the others.
If ccru curtains bleach in washing
they can be restored by dipping in
a bath of strong coffee which has

be done, of course, before they are
starched No bluing is required for
