As far as they go they. are rather poor apologies for school rooms, but might be made to answer a purpose for a year or two longer, if extendations. The Trustees have been compelled to order some of the older scholas ars out to give place to others; and ur~ det home the youhgest to get room.— Besides this, children cannot be promoted from the primaries to the interme— diate, of from the intermediate to the ee gs Se Se “As there are no promotions, many scholars __have been’ pelled. to go over the} same routine of studies the last year,} they did the year before, when they eee ae an advance. ‘But this is not all.” “There are aboat: who are either adniissable to public __ Schools now, or will be in two or three ~Years to come.

It has been reported, that a _general law is to be passed to increase the amount of tax a District may vote for ‘school purposes, to one per cent.— General laws are preferable, if they do not defeat the object, they have in view, Uy unwieldy machinery. We care not what/sort of a law is passed, if it only ws rapid action so that a school house can be constructed in time for the commencement of the new school year in August.

The house was occupied “by Mr. Ber-. gantz’s family, and Mr. L. L. Bullock’s family. The fire was first discovered by Mrs. Bullock, in the upper story of "the “presw house,” the lower story of] whieh was used for the manufacturing and stofing away witiés. No fire had been used in this house for two weeks and none of the family had been in it for two days. Mrs. Bullock promptly alarmed the others in the ‘house, who had but little time to escape, so rapidly did the flames spread ‘to the main building. With the assistance of neighbors, ‘and at great risk. some of. the parlor furniture including a yaluable piano was saved. The night was stormy, and almost all of those so suddenly turned out of comfortable quarters had been recently sick. They had to pass the rest of the night in the barn in wet clothes and suffering with cold, .The. loss is a heavy one, between $6,000 and $7,000. Mr. Bergantsz believes the fire to have been the work of an incendiary, but knows of no one who has such enmity toward him as to furnish a motive for the deed. Had the fire oc— curred half an‘hour later in the night inmates of the building» would have been lost. An EprrortaL T1.7T.—Beriah Brown and C. B. McDonald are having a wordy war in the columns of their respective The Portland Herald s ‘says wok ae editor of the Statesman: He maintained a precarious existence for many years between the gutter, the. jail, and such printing offices as would violent invective against the Radis, then altering his stereotyped . phrases tohit the Democrats; sometimes } living on the =——_ of an itinerant actress, at others m the charitable contributions of printers. He has been whipped like adog:in the public streets, taken from a theatre in San Franeisco to jail for using obscene lan in the presence of women and dren, and sent to the watch-house as a street drunkard. McDonald, called the “Tripple Than. . derer,” replied : We accordingly denounce Beriah Brown to the citizens of Portland. to the people of asa liar, who Was ignominously run out of San Franciseo with a jeering lace at his heels ; who was identified with the Knights of the Golden Circle, some of whom were arrested, tried and convieted of robbery and murdér, and who was ridiculed out of Stockton’ on account of the incident referred to. He isa traitor by instinct, a coward by nature, and a liar by education, @ disgrace even to his own ignoble party. . He will devour his own words witli the Voracity of a convalescent swine, and where his own worthless carcass is menaced by resentful manhood, will stand tobe. kicked At another, time we shall give the alt ske’ th = this ass in lion’s skin, and Sanr Financrermne.—The sharpest financial operation we have heard of in these quarters, is related to. us thus; A large sized individual whose name . wasn’t Mack hired a large sized boy, in fact a°fall grown one, at the rate of twenty-five dollars a month for one year, the whole payable at the end of the engagement. ~ Boss immediately hired the big boy out to mine for others at three dollars a day. Just before the year expired, having nothing further for the young man to do, he began to make it uncomfortably hot for him, so that he might be forced to leave. The of the contract. Then came a compromise. Boss made the boy take fifteen . dollars a month on a note due in a year. At the end of that time he paid it in greenbacks without interest. The affair,is footed up.in this» wise: Amount of money boy earned at mining, $690 ; amount, $702 50. Amount of money received for Breenbacks “sold, $113 40; gain to Boss, to say. nothing’ “ interest, $589 10. aeerrrre Sanh . tas id girs dae of Boston are sega rei fo th enone Dasravcrive Saia—the residence it is highly probable that some of the . _ give him employment ; sometimes utter. with the fortitude of a moribund mule, . boy did leaye.
