SCHOOLS REOPEN.
Teachers and Scholars Return to
Work After Holiday Vacations.

The schools of this city reopened
this morning after eleven days vaca-
tion spent by the teachers in visiting
their homes and by the scholars in
having good time in general.
Rumor was persistent in announcing
the engagement of several of the
younger teachers during the holidays
and there seems a strong probability
of another exodus at the end of the
present term. A few minor changes
have been made in the schools, but
nothing of importance has been done
with the coming of the new year.
The classes will shortly begin to get
ready for the spring examinations
and already commencement is the
foremost subject in the minds of the
members of the senior class.
