In a lew moments one of the boy pupils also fainted, but it was thought for a moment that his trouble was only a sportive imitation of the fainting of the girl, but this idea wa3 f oon dispelled by tho fainting of three others in quick succession, and soon by others until nearly or quite twenty had fainted. There was, as may well be imagined, intense excite ment and alarm at such a frightful SDCctaclc, but some of the most ac tive of those present, thinking that the trouble might be caused by gas escaping from the coal stove with which the room was heated, opened wide the doors and windows and with the advent of a plenty r f fresh and pure air. the sufferers soon revived, with the exception of Mr. John C. Thompson, ihc Secretary of the school, who was prostrated and helpless for a consider able time, and i now confined to his bouse from the effects of tho Sunday morning's accident." - Step Ladders, all leugths,Jat J acoei's D-ct.' t A Noted School.

It was a remark of one of our best and most energetic merchants last night, as he was apjmiring the display in the widows of the stores on Market street, that it would bo a good plan for our merchants to keep up the attract ivenes3 of their stores during the entire year, by so disposing of their goods in the windows as to give a pleasant and inviting appearance This could be done without any outiay or expense further than a tax upon the kill and taste of the merchant. As a general thing the store windows in the city are attractive and even elegant, but there art; instances where a little care and taste in adorning tho wiundows would make an .improvement. At any rate the suggestion was a good one. Vessel Ashore. The three-masted schooner Isaac L. Clark, Capt. Cranmer, bound from Fernandina, Fla., to Phiidelphia, was wrecked on fcriday last on Hatteras Shoals. The crew were saved. On Sunday morning the schooner drifted ashore at Messrs W. E. Davis & Son's fishery, on Stump Sound, and as soon ?s the sea subsided so as to make it possibi to go on board of her, Mr. Henry B.shop, who has charge of the fishery, with a crew, went to her in a boat for the purpose of saving whatever was possible from the cargo. When she drifted ashore all her sails were blown away excepting the foresail, which was sot She also had a signal of distress flying. Her deck load was lumber, but it is not yet known here what constitutes her cargo below deck. The Isaac L. Clark is 335 tons burth en and was owned at Camden, N. J., by E. A. Cranmer.

Mr. James Alderman. A Live Paper. The New York World, since coming under its preeent management, has achieved a success which is entirely un precedented in American journalism, and stamps its proprietor, Hon. Joseph Pulitzer, as one of the foremost jour nalists of the country. In taking con trol of the World, considerably less than two years ago, Mr. Pulitzer found many obstacles to contend with, which to almost any one would have seemed almost insurmountable in the struggle for an equal position among the great wealthy and influential metropolitan journals. This has long since been ac complished, ani now in all that per tains to a live, great and influential newspaper, the World leads them all, This fact is established by the adver tising patronage it receives, which "shows the just estimate that the peo ple form of the value ot newspapers. On Sunday last the World appeared with 24 pages or 163 columns of mat ter. Of these there were 82 columns. containing 2.125 separate advertisc mnnfji.
