CONVENTIONS. -" The following re-
marks (snys the Episcopal Recordcr)
of the Southern Churchman upon the APP
preaching Virginia Convention are val
liable, not only in relation to the meeting
Of that body, but to all our Conventions,
a large proportion of which are held
about the same season of the year.
Our conventional meetings have hlh-
erto proved among the most joyous and
spirit-stirring occasions which occur in
the Church. The glad greetings of
friends who have been separated by the
calls of duty-the anxiety which each
one feels to know how the Lord has pros
pered those who, animated by the same
feelings, and encountering the same diff
culties, have been engaged in promoting
common object, combine, with other
emotions, to impart to this annual jubilee
an interest thrilling and intense. Among
the circumstances which contribute to
give to it this character is the fact, that
II rs season Of prnyer--the saints assem-
BILE to invoke the divine upon blessing his
heritage and upon themselves; they
spend much time in prayer-many go ex-
pecting Gods favour-and many who do
not go, remember to supplicate the pres
ence and blessing of the Great Head of
the Church on those who, although yet
without the sacred inclosure, there as
semble, to participate in the means of
grace, and expecting to receive benefits
from the services of the sanctuary; as
well as upon the pastors of the flock OF
| Christ the Legislators ofhis Church. The
/ ministers ofreligion, who have been all
the year labouring for others, and rarely
permitted to hear from other lips than
their own the truths Of the precious Cos
! pei, now enjoy that privilege. They find
their faith strengthened by the perfect
coincidence orviews between themselves
and their brethren; and even the same
truths which have a thousand times been
the subjects of their renections-now
presented in form and garb tho product
Of another's mind have for them u new
energy and pahos.
To be where all hearts beat in unison
! where "hopes, desires and aims are
! WIG uhu ''t air -p'iFuuIiIS ''hhtH't u
LOVE, is to breathe the atmosphere o
heaven itself That our Conventions
may annually approach nearer to such 4
spirit, let each Christian devoutly pray
Let the members individually cultivate
: it at home, and endeavour to carry it with
them, when they 60 TO deliberate upol
the affairs of the Church. As the mem
hers of the Convention multiply, the pro
liability is increased, that diversity o
opinion will exist and this renders it th,
more necessary, that those heavenly gra
ces should be cherished, which afford the
only security for "uni,y, peace and con
cord. "
We allude TO tho approaching Conven
: ton thus far in advance, in the hore tha
: VIC may stir up the brethren to such pray
er and other efforts, as shall justify th'
expectation Of even larger and more dc
lightlul results than have yet been real
lied on similar occasions.

II was stated by one Of the School Fund
Committee, that the sum now funded for pub
lie school purposes, was $500, in addition
to $500 unflnded. The Committee were
then directed to transfer 5000 to the Treas
urer Of the School Fund, for the purpose of
funding.
Something was said about building another
public school house, the present one not be-
ing sufficiently large TO accommodate all the
children entitled to admission.
Several of the school committee observed,
that there were but few months in the year,
when more applications were made for ad-
mission to the school than could be receiv-
ed; and as there were some doubts whether
the town could conveniently sustain two
schools in the event Of the States appropria-
ton being discontinued, of which there was
strong probability, (the fund annually appro-
prated among the several towns for public
school purposes arising from Lottery grants,
which would expire in about three years. it
was thought best that the subject be again
referred to the following committee, viz -
NJ. Frccborn, John Stevens, and George Bow
en,-with instructions to report at the August
town meeting, as to the expediency or in
expediency ofbuilding another school house.
The Finance Committee made their an
nual Report, by which it appears that the
whole amount of the town debt to June Cd,
1885, is S5,297 ,7G-that deducting cash on
hand, $ll4s, 63, leaves unpaid 81, ,l49, ,l3-
that $7,O99,e7 is estimated as the current
expenses for the ensuing year.
The town then voted, that tax Of eight
thousand five hundred dollars be assessed on
the inhabitants of the town, aud taxable pro-
Iperty therein, and paid on or before the lst
of December next ont Of which, after con-
siderable debate, the sum Of s2500 was Or
dercd to be appropriated to the repairs of
streets and highways.
| The Town Treasurer's Report of Receipts
and Expenditures was received, nnd ordered
to be recorded.
A vote passed, that the Nortl, Baptist and
Trinity Church Bells, be rung at sunrise, at
noon, and at 9 o'clock, in the evening. 4
ludcrous debate took place on this weighty
! matter, in which the Honorable Dutee j.
Pearce made a set speech Of considerable
length.
Thomas G. Pitman was appointed to trans
fer the books and papers of tho late town
Treasurer to the office of the newly elected
! Treasurer.
Il DR.. DAVID KING, Jr. was appointed 4th of
July Orator, and the sum Of S75 was appro-
priated to dcfray the expenses Of the cele-
bration. The following persons were also

NU Al KFP(]NT
OF THE
Public School Committee,


To The Freemen Of The To,cn Of .Ntrport,
at their annual Torn Meeting TO be
held on The Cd day Of Jmae, 1885:
The Public School Committee re .
spectfulIy Report
\ That the whole number Of those who have
received instruction in the Public School
during the past year, is SO, viz:-287 boys
and 223 girls. The number of scholars now
in the Public School is :75, viz:-2l4 in the
male department, and l6l in the Female De-
partment.
/ 1t will be perceived that both Departments
Of the School are unusually fnll-thc male
department exceeding its complement, and
the female department wanting but four of its
stated number. This has been the condition
Of the school for n considerable time, and is
! TO be considered as in some measure the re-
suit of the increasing demand for instruction
in the town, and furnishes the strongest rea-
son for cnlarging the accommodations of the
present school, or for the establishment of
another whenever our gradually accumulat.
ing means shall enable us to bear the neccs
sary additional expense.
| There has been no material variation, dur
! ing the past year, from the usual course of
studies. A greater number, perhaps, than
usual, have attended to the more advanced
branches Of study. The system of instruc-
ton which has been pursued, is, in general,
the same with tina. heretofore adopted. Each
scholar is classed according to his attain
ments, without regard to age; and (what may
be regarded as n modification of the system)
is permitted to progress in advance Of his
class according to his inclination and ability.
!! The Committee are well satisfied with the
progress Of the school, and the Improvement
of the scholars. Their experience, however,
induces them to suggest, as they have here
tofore done, that nothing is more essential to
its continued and increased usefulness than
that attention to the school on the part Of the
public, which at the same time that it is ami
mating to the scholars, will give to the In.
structors, correspondent to their merit anC
devotion, the high reward Of public estma
ton, which is both due and necessary to
pursuit so liberal as theirs.
II The Committee have To announce with re
gret the resignation Of Miss GRozIER, tht
teacher in the Female department The uni
versal satisfaction which she has given in thi
station, and her unvaried devotion to her du
ties therein, make them regard her departure
MS a public loss. The Committee have ap
pointed in her place two teachors--n Princi
pal and an Assistant who will immediately
take charge of the school, and are to recev
the same compensation as that given to her.
The accounts and vouchers for the pas
year were presented to the Town Counci
yesterday, and by them audited. The follow
ing is an abstract from The Treasurer's ac
count of the expenses of the School the pas
year, viz
Ill Salary for Instructors, $3.50 90

TROUBLE IN THE WiG-wAM.--Tho n.
Y. Commercial Advertiser says: "The
Report gathers strength, that Mr.. For
syth has quit the Cabinet in disgust if
not in rage"
BY letter from the Baltimore Chron-
icle, it appears that it is in consequence
of blow up the Gin'ral has given him
for publishing Mr.. Livingston's letters
to the State Department. Some of the
Kitchen Department who disIiked For
syth, put Livingston up to complaining
about the publication of his letters, and
no sooner had the old Roman received
the re,y thing from Mr.. l.. than the in
mates of the Kitchen seized hold Of it
and wrought up his mind to such fury,
that he sent for Forsyth, md the chief
clerk Dickens, and roared at them at
such rate, that Forsyth could not
stand it.
Later reports state that MIR. Livings-
ton is to resume his station in the Office
Of Secretary Of State, and that MIR. For
syth is to have his private griols assuag-
ed by foreign. mission.

A VOICE FOR PEACE.

"A CoNGREss OF NATIONS" I'VE
have read with much pleasure small
well w itten Pamphlet with this title. from
the press Of j. .Mcfarlane, Of Richmond.
Its object is the amlcable adjustment Of
National Differences and the important
sub ect is treated in a fine spirit, and in
a good plain style; and well calculated TO
recommend practical Christian spirit in
the settlement of all differences. in prefer

violence and war. where peaceful means
would better accomplish the end.
As specimen OF the contents oil this
little tract, we give our readers the follow
ins extracts. in the hope that they may
induce them TO procure the pamphlet, and
enjoy the satisfaction which we have had
in reading it.
"National differences may be amlcably
