Office of Public Instruction.


To the Officers, Teachers, and Others
1t is proposed to hold at least four
Teachers Institutes during the comino
spring, under the act providing for such
Institutes; one in each Congressional
District in the State. The UNDERSIGNED
would cordially invite the co-operat;on
OF School Officers, Teachers. and all
others interested in the cause Of edu
cation, to make these Institutes of tho
widest possible advantage. Localities
desiring these Institutes should make
speedyapplication therefor to this Office
Applications should be signed by fftv
teachers, or those proposing to become
teacheas, DESTROYS of attending such
Institute, or at least, satisfactory as
surance should be given, that such
number of teachers are DESTROYS of At
tending. In counties containing less
than twelve thousand inhabitants.
twenty-five teachers may make such
application. No effort will be SHARED
to make the exercises as useful as noss;.
Ole to the towns in which the Institutes
may be held, and to those attending
them. Each one will continue in SEES
SION ten working days, and the first
VIII be opened if practicable about the
goth of March next.
There is, perhaps, no more efficient
agency than that of the Teachers Insti-
stltute, to promote the cause of gene
raj Education; and the superintendent
hopes to make this series of State Tn.
sttutes more widely useful than anv
that has preceded them in this State.

A Fifteen Million Franc Claim.

MI. R.A. Parish, Of Now York, says that
Louis Napoleon owes him q small bill-fftsen
millionso of francs--and he is now urging the
French Emperor to settle. The New York
4fibans givea the following sccount of the or
igiIRb and character Of this singular claim: '.-
.a Mr.. Parrish declares that he entered into d
verbal arrangement with M. :Fould, Minister
of. Finapoe0 which agreement was confirmed
by the Emperor, TO pay to the claimant fifteen
million francs upon his demonstrstion Of the
existence of gold field similar to that of Cal
ifornia, and accessible to this French arms as
soon as the French flag could be raised in SOW
ereignty in any part of the territory indicated
he alleges that his part Of the undertaking was
performed, and now demands pay ment. i From
private information, which reaches us through
an spparentIy reliable source, it would appear
that this extraordinary demand is based upon
some rather curious facts. -'ir , e, -,
Mr.. Parish, having devoted many years to
the study Of geology and books Of travel, came
70 the conclusion that there were several virgin
Qphirs in different parts of the world awaiting
exploration, the, richest being hidden away
somewhere IN the Senegal region in Africa.
The French Government, IL is alleged, lent q
willing ear TO this tale, promised Mr.. Parish
his fifteen millions, sent out q secret expedi-
tion to the country, and has since that time
been engaged in removing the lucre from their
African California. That the French have
been very busy Of late; years in Africa We all
ow--whether, as ststed, 1t was for, the pur7
pose Of gold digging, and whether, as shas been
,ingsniously alleged, the apprentice slaye-trads
wssoniy blind for moro profitable operations,
remains for Mr.. Parish to prove r,r.,J ts.s !
