the precipitation of sensations and
Wordy Comhdts in tho tenth session. A

He cOuteudr1 that the institution did 4
NOT pay and that one such school in a
state OF this kind WAS enough. His ate
tack was undoubtedly inspired by the
demand far ON appropriation FOR the
school of $4,000. To be- used iu the con-
struet.ou of q gymnasium Macbeth de-
m8uded "a certified copy OF tho decd TO
