It is certain that extensive repairs will have to he made on tbe old school in the near future, to judg from the preaani eondiuoni of iiflairt;. and to do so would be an exact counterpart of the story told on a Highlander who, in getting his guii fixed, bad to get a u*w lock, stock and baml. ' Our opinion on the subject is that a new building is needed. A nother wild cat was killed last week by tbe rDowo*d hunter of Uope- ville. and another one severely wounded by Mr. Alex. McLean.
