thered and Brother, of this city, were highly
praised.
That the American Institute has been pro-
ductve of great advantage by encouraging EN-
ulation, there cGn be no doubt The finest spe
cimens of American art and industry are there
exhibited, and the premiums bestowed for those
which excel are liberal and encouraging. Ar
effort to have similar exhibition annually il
Baltimore was once undertaken but unfortu
nately failed for the want of proper encourage
ment. We know Of no purpose to which few
dollars from liberal citizens could be better ap
piled, than in premiums to encourage agrcul
| tural and mechanical cxcellence-and we YET
hope 70 see the day when Baltimore shall riva
New York in this important duty.
SmPwREcK AND MARINE DISASTER. We
learn from the Norfolk Beacon, that the ship
Victoria, of Salem, Woodbury., from Batavia
bound to New York, with cargo of $500 pic
kuls Of sugar, $500 pickuls of coffee, and 10 oil
so tons of sappan wood, went ashore on Thurs
day evening the 23d instant, between Nagg's
| Head and False Cape. She had been i'll a
leaky condition for several days, and when a.
bandoned by the captain and crew, who reach
ed Norfolk ON Sunday morning, she had feet
Of water in her hold. About eight days before
one-third of her cargo was thrown overheard
to tighten her. Ship and cargo, no doubt, a
total loss.
The same paper states that the ship reported
on Saturday, dismasted, is still outside of the
Capes, and sent up in the evening for a steam
or to tow her in; she proves to be the Repub-
lie, of Providence, said to be bound to N. York.
A harque with the signal Of distress flying and
standing in for the Capcs from which she was
distant about so or 60 miles, was seen on Sa-
turday by one of the Pilots.
THE REMOVAL OF DR.. REESE. DR.. Reese,
who has been removed from the office of Super
intendent of Common Schools by the Supervi-
sors of the County of New York, has appealed
to the State Superintendent of Schools, on the
ground that the 'cause" is insufficient, and
that the Supervisors had no jurisdiction, and
proceeded improperly. The State Superinten-
dent has the ease under considerations and it is
to be presumed that he will decide the case ac-
cording to law and reason. Meanwhile he is
officially instructed to complete his tour Of WIS.,
itation to all the schools of the county, collect
statistics, and prepare his annual report TO JAN
uary LIST, 1916.
THE Swiss BELL RiNGERs, whose extraor-

young candidate for public favor, Miss Caroline
Hifart, who has been most avorably received
i'll all the principal Northern cities. Tho price
of tickets being reduced to % cents, there is no
doubt the Assembly rooms will be crowded each
night of their performance. /!
