Parents who have children entering the First Year Primary, of the Rensselaer schools, would do the better thing in sending them either at the beginning of die Pall Term or at the opening of die Spring Term in March, at which times classes are formed for beginners, Pupils going to school for the first time, and entering at the middle of the term, especially in the winter, must be classed with pupils who are, and will remain, in advance of them. This works an evil to both. It holds a class back for two or three, and usually results in causing these to remain a second year in the seme grade, when they ought to, and otherwise would, enter the next. The fathers and mothers of thesrf little folks will do well to bear this In mind.

A young feflow named Joseph F. Wagner tried to cash a forged cheek, at the Citizen’s Bank, last Thursday, and as a result was sOofl after attested for forgery . The names of Coen & Paxton, the hay and coal dealers, for whom Wagner had been working for a day or two, was attached to the check, and made payable to J. man, he acted very nervously, thus aroused Mr. Hardman’s suspicions. In answer to questions Wagner first said the check was given him by a drunken man, who had left town. A moment after he told a different story and said he himself was Brown, the man in whose favor the check was drawn. Mr. Hardman refused to pay the check, bat held ft until Mr. bears, president of the bank,-arrived, and he took ft to Coen & Paxton and they at once pronounced it a forgery. Wagner was present and heard the conversation and saw the fo.'ged check. Mr. Sean then returned to the bank and sent Mr. Hardman out to Coen A Paxton’s place, and he at once recognized Wagner as the party who presented the check . He was arrested and taken before Squire Burnham, where he acknowh dged his guilt, and was sent u> jail toawait the action of toe circuit court. Young Wagner came here from some point in Missouri, to attend St. Joseph’s Colleger but was soon expelled for bad conduct- He is about 19 or 20 yean old, and seems to be a pretty hud case. The very next day after Ms arrest he made a determined effort to break jail He was given the liberty of the jdl comders, and, before anyone suspected his designs, he had broken au iron brace from toe table in toe j «il and with it had dug a large hole half way through the Jail wail. In an hour or two more he would have been out. '4f|
