Last; week we commented on the good management of Olney Acade my and the great work for good it is doing This week wo publish a com munication about Aurora High School, x situated about two miles from Rich Square on the "(Quaker road" in what has been known ior twenty five years or more as "the garden spot of Northnmpton" on account of the numerous well cul- ti vated small farms, neat dwellings and the thriftiness of its people. Eery friend of education in the State can read the article aboul Aurora Hip,h School with interest and profit. This school received from the public school fund only seventy seven dollars during the present school year, yet every child between the ages of 6 and 21 years living in the district had the ad vantages of an eight months lerm, aud the privilege of studying any thing to fit them for college or the active duties of life. Literary Notes. Accordiug to General Joseph Wheeler, the custom, of setting apart a day. for decorating the soldiers' graves had itsorigiD among the women of his own State of Ala iama.

At this juncture Ad miral Dewey came on deck and cried out Uo them in Spanish to come along side, but they heeded him not but rowed the faster. "Fite!'. said the Admiral. Two rifle shots rang out and one of the Philipinos, with a yell, threw- up his paddle and fell .n the boat Some sne ventured -to say that one of the natives were, killed.
