GENTLEMEN: Herewith, you will find a
statement of receipts and expenditures on
account of the Common Schools of our city,
from July 3D., 1853, to August 9Th, 1899.
The amount expended for schools during
the year is, $4,000 OF; a portion of this,
however, was on account of salaries and
rents due on the school year 1878. We
owe for rents not set fourth in the statement
rendered $50 90 and we have about $50 90
due us for tuition, the collection Of which is
not certain.
1t is heavy task on the Trustees to en-
ploy teachers, procure furniture and school
houses grade scholars, and have a general
supervision of the educational interests, and
they ought not to be burdened with still
greater Ia in being made Brokers to sell
the city orders for the purpose of raising
means TO pay the expenses of the Schools.
We trust that measures will be taken by
your body to provide money SO that the in
debtedness could be paid by presentation of
our orders ON the school Treasurer. Fl. Q.
Wheeler the President of the Board will
shortly present you with report giving the
number of teachers and number of children
registered 10y them and other matters per-
tanning to your schools which will be of in
terest To the friends of education. That
your city has gained an enviable reputation
10y sustaining your public schools is not to
be denied, and know of no way in which
You could have expended $4,000 that your
citizens would have been more benefited,
or your city have gained a fairer name.

A Surgical Monstrosity.
Phaadelphia, April ?, 1859


 A child, seven months old, was brought to the College Hospital from the western part of the State, having appended to its left cheek large mass. of flesh, somewhat resembling tumor. This mass grew more rapidly than the child itself. At birth it was no larger than an apple, but when brought here last month 1t was nearly a foot long. It's surface was neither smooth nor regular, but was divided into several globular masses, while pulsation was dis tinctly perceptible regular and uninterrupt- ed, from forty to hundred beats per min ute. It was traversed by large artery, showing that it was largely supplied with blood. The tumor was connected to the child's cheek by peculiar caul like mem- brane, pierced with holes, and its presence was a source. of constant irritation to the child, though supported by the mothers hand How to remove this huge tumor without destrying the life of the child was the great surgical problem. The parents, warned of the danger, were yet extremely anxious to have the frightful parasite taken off
 Dr. Pancoast. under whose charge the patient had been placed, decided that the use of the knife would result in a fatal be- morrage, and determined to divide the caul like membrane by using French surgical instrument, the ecrasseur, which by forcing down the skip, and bruising the vessels thoroughly before the chain of the instru- ment cuts through the mass, effectually prevents all serious bleeding. The opera tion was performed in presence of an i'm mense assemblage of medical men, students and others.
 The child was placed under the influence of ether, when all pulsation in the parasite was observed to cease The instrument being applied, the chain was rapidly work ed until the parts were well compressed, and afterwards very slowly. In fifteen minutes the tumor came away with the ln- strument, the chain having worked through the connecting membrane, while scarcely drop of blood followed the removal, and but one small vessel required hgature.- The surface left on the cheek was about two inches square, and the tumor weighed two and half pounds. The whole operation was entirely successful, and the child lives and has fully recovered.
 But the extraordinary part remains to be told. The tumor thus taken off was found to contain living child, imperfect ly developed 1t is true, but still living | child. Fingers were seen, and portion of rudimentary arm. The intestines were well developed, and no doubt was en. tertained of it's being male child. A bo- dy presumed to be the heart, contained im- perfectly formed, auricles and venricles.-

TRANSATLANTIC BALLOON. X.-The Troy fN. Y Whig. of the 25th ult., gives an account of the mammoth balloon heinz constructed by Mr John La Mountain, of that city, and with which he expects to cross the Atlantic and astonish John Bull. It is to be the largest ever constructed; 75 feet long and 65 in diameter, with capac- ity for 40 900 cubic feet of gas
 The materials purchased for its construc- tion have been selected with great care and with regard to lightness combined with strength. Five miles of rope have been manufactured at the Troy Patent Rope Works, four miles of which will be of small size, about three thirty seconds of an inch in diameter, but of immense strength.
 There will be large ear attached to the balloon, containing life boat which weighs but l25 pounds. The ear will contain a steam engine, attached 10 a propeling ap- paratus of Mir. La Mountains own inven- tion, by which the balloon can be raised or lowered atpleasure This engine will have a lifting power of about four tons, and as the boiler is to be heated by alcohol there will be no danger of explosion The whole weight of the engine, boiler and propeller, will not exceed 450 pounds.
 When completed, it will be exhibited and tested by its owner, in flight across the continent, before embarking on the pro- posed ocean voyage

 The last mail from Europe (bv the Canada) brings us this painful intelligence:
 DEATH OF THE KING OF DAHoMEY.- The Daily News reports the death of Gezo, the slave king of Dahomey. Eight hun drcd slaves were masSacred as a sacrifice on the occasion. The new king is said at once to have left with large army on a slave hunting expedition
 "The deceased monarch was an injured man. Once he had the fourishing mar kets of Whydah and Badagry wherein to dispose of his surplus slaves, very much to their advantage and to his-but ever since philanthropy and the barbarous spirit of the age overlook that country, not only has the kings revenue greatly declined, but it has been found necessary to club to death greater and greater multitudes of the useless slaves. Poor dark souls. they have risen to a position almost human, almost christian = hoeing cotton not too arduously all day and making the negro quarters vocal at night with the pleasing strain of the banio-if that worse than heather spirit of the age had but let them alone.
 The King of Dahomey, too, might have been a rich man. As 1t is, we fear the king, was rich in nothing but slaves. Once, 'to quote the Rev. Mr. Wilson in his ac- count of Dahomey Western Africo, page 205, :" 1t was necessary to supply not on- ly the foreign demand, but the graves of all the royal ancestors, as in Ashantee, must be watered every year with the blood of human sacrifices" This was formerly sumptuous and truly devout sacrifice, because the slaves were good money $ worth Now such a sacrifice over the grave of departed headman is next to no hon. or at all in Dahomey, for the slaves are of extremely little value. Bridge says thirty dollars will buy them even in Liberia; and that intelligent tourist, Dr. Earth, in- forms us-to our great disgust-of horse being sold for twenty slaves. Why good slave here is worth ten horses.
 We never read before of so large a holo- caust as King Gezo's in one single sweep. Richard Lander, indeed, who travelled in Africa nearly thirty years ago, tells us that he hurried away from BadagrY on one occasion, sooner than he inten0 ed, because "a sacrifice of no less than three hundred human beings of both sexes and of all ages, was shortly to take place." Even at that period, however, slaves, were sadly deprecated in va lue, and owing to the same causes. Mir. Lander, one of the mYt straightforward and candid of travelerss relates (p. PA that :" At Payoia several chiefs in the road have asked us the reason why the Portu- gese do not purchase as many slaves as formerly; and make very sad complaints of the stagnation Tn this branch oi traffic. No wonder; for it is theii staple. "The Queen of England will
