The board ascertained last night in the course of its business that it is in poeion of $U,SH.1, a sum that places it in the best position it has been in for years. An order was made requiring a detail from Professor Kester on the auhju-t of the cause of hi suspension of Ocrne F.I bon, the boy who lately attemped to "do business" with tlie professor in a mat ter of discipline. The board intends to stand by the teachers in their effort to maintain diiplne, but in this par ticular case, need, and have called for, further particular of the offense. The school clerk was directed to cor respond with several certain founderie, for prices, f. o. b. at Astork, in behalf of the purchase of a 30-inch lU lor service at Taylor school. . In the matter of repairs, for which the board had appropriate the sum of $3000. for the present school year, it was found that the expense in this re lation, as to Taylor school, had been $1423.11, as against $1H00, last year, and that nearly twice tfc- amount of work had been done for the lesser num. so exis-nded. The. board at this point, went into executive session upon the matter of the guilt or innocence of Miss Grace E. Smih, upon the charge of shoplifting laid against her recently by the Elite Millinery peopt- and their clerk. The reciters present were required to with draw and tlie board then reviewed the situation from all sides, and again de-ferr.-d their decision until Saturday evening next, (tomorrow.) Miss Smith will, of course, remain suspended, until this decision is handed down. In the meantime the four hulies, XJrs. LenienweW, Mrs. Pye, Miss IX-noh and Misa Montgomery, who saw Mis Smith take the good at the EHte par- Mora, say her shift them from, ompart of her person to anotlier, saw her yield them up to the proprietress of the place, heard her confess her depreciation, heard her give the name of Smith, heard her plea for release from the miserable situation, and who have ideiilfled her three times since it occurred, are to be left in suspense as to whether their word 'in the premises is worth the breath it took to utter it.

We w ish we could persuade every icr son in this vicinity who 'feels old,' whclher they are so in years or not, to take -Vinol. It is by far the greatest tissue builder and invigorator we know of for old people. Vinol is not a patent medicine, but simply contains the body building, strength-creating proiicrtiea of etsl liver oil actually taken from fresh cisls' livers, and we guarantee that it will repair worn tissue, check the" na tural decline and replace wcaknfss with strength. ; There are hundreds of old people in this vl.'iiJHy wy bil jusb, emit a strength maker and tissue-builder aa Vinol. Their blood is thin, alaggish and watery, but we guarantee that Vinol will enrich and quicken the blood and build up and strengthen ryery rgan in fc'ie body.
