The materials were these: A few yards of black chautilly insertion ripped from a worn-out last summer s or gandie dress, a pink taffeta lining to a doth suit which has beer ripped up and dyed, and an all-over old irout’of imitation point de Venice from which many cream roses were cut. Four of tne nine skirt gores were cut into strips and gores, the latter being live inches wide at the foot ana pointed at the top. These alternated with the three inch strips, all being set tog'her with the inser- r.iou to form a knee deep flounce. The insertion edged the flounce.

Miss Annie Mil er has fifty-one scholars enrolled. From what we learu the enrollment of scholars is much less than it should be in this township Why rh.s is we are unable to say. For some re: s m our p- oph , especially in the coun ry, have very little en thusiasm in the matter of eaucatiug their children. If we take the census of two yt-ars ago as a basis the num ber of children between six and twenty-one years in this township was much larger than the present enrollment in the schools. We long to see the time when educating their children will be one of the highest aims of all classes of citizens. Mr W. 0. Kirby has been unwell for several days. Rhv.
