At the meeting Of the Board Of Education
this evening, a report is to be made by the
Committee on Text Books, and the Board is
exp,o cd to decide whether the Public Schools
are to have another change Of Readers. That
changes are sometimes advisable is not doubt
cd, but that they should be often OF ever made
without some urgent cause few will be found
to advocate. billiards higher Readers have
been used but a short time in our Grammar
Schools, and we believe with pretty general
acceptance at least no change, we are inform.
ell, has been asked for by the teachers Of those
Schools, and It is understood that majority
o the old established teachers Of those Schools
wish no change, but arc strongly in favor Of the
Roaders now in use. We are not advised that
the pupils wish any change. We believe that
public opinion has not condemned these books,
and that parents are satisfied and ask no change
Why then is the subject agitated at this
lime Has it arisen from defects in the books,
,r have iutei ested publishers made the discOv.
ry thatthey differ from theirs and as theirs are
he only true ones, therefore billiards must be
wrong, and being wrong should give place to
le only ood and true We trust the Boaid
Will not act hastily in this matter Any change
> books in our public schools, without some
argent reason, is productive Of evil and should
D. avoided Ifthe new book is given for the
me in use many will complain of being
orced into poor bargain. If given away at
irst, there are always many out Of school who
will afterwards come 10 aud have to buy.

Our June cold snap has been light compared
with the lake Superior winter of the same pc
rod Tho Marquette journal of June sth,
says:
This season so far has proved rather unpro
ptious for lake navigation. Our Northwest
storm was followed by a regular Nor'easter.-
Early Friday morning, the thermometer was
down 10 % deg. About two inches of snow
ELI here, but melted nearly as fast as it came.
They had four inches at the Iron Mountain.
The North Star reached here Friday morning,
ather the worse for the heavy seas encounter
ed below Grand Island. They were compelled
to throw freight overheard for the first time,
says Capt Sweet, in the eleven years he has
sailed on these lakes. They lay at Grand Is-
land from Friday morning till Saturday morn
ing Its feared that four persons, one woman
and three men belonging to the Williams fami
ly, of Grand Island, who left here in small
boat for that place on Thursday, were lost, but
nothing positive is known about them.
Mr. Kenncott, who has gone on a scientific
excursion to the Hudson Bay country, writes
from Fort William, May 10Th, that the Steamer
Rescue landed him on a little island in Lake
Superior five miles from shore, and that ON the
10Th of May he walked on the ice to the main
land On the 10Th the snow was several feet
deep in some places in the woods, and Dog
Lake, some % miles west of Fort William, was
still frozen over. Mr.. X, in company with
some gentlemen of the Red River exploring
party, ascenled to tie top of McKay's Noun
tain, the peak 1000 feet high, and covered with
snow. On the top ruiied grouse, squirrels,
beetles &c were obtained, and some mosque
toes were seen

The Gazette Of Saturday says the strawberry
s.ason in Cincinnati has had its day, and tn
irop was not so large as last year, owing to the
liy weather in May. Mr.. Stacy, the large
t.uit dealer, shipped last year more than 5000
bushels of strawberries, while this year he has

The upper and lower bridges between St
Anthony and Minneapolis were mostly swept
away by the unprecedented flood, severe loss
as both were expensive structures, the lower
bridge especially being a beautiful piece Of
workmanship. The mighty torrent made great
changes in the Falls of st. Anthony. The
Atlas of the 4th says
At the southern termination, or at the point
where the Mil Company have erected their
bieakwater a large fragment of rock has been
broken of and settled down, which leaves the
Falls more in the shape of an inclined plane,
and with far less abrupt fall than before
Still farther out, aud nearer the middle Of che
channel, the great mass Of rock which pro.
jected Ear above the space below, has been
broken of by the vast volume and force Of the
water, far up into the bed of the rocky floor
above the Falls, leaving them in shape very
much like Niagara Falls on the American
side. Were il not that the huge mass OF rock
which has broken away, is to remain there
to disfgure the view during the seasons Of low
water, we should be reconeied 10 the change.

The Alessandra correspondent of the Even
ing Post writes that in returning from a visit
TO Turin, one Of those scenes which make an
,ndelible impression occurred at stopping
place called Ast lie says
There were collected a number of women
whose husbands were killed by the AusrIans
IN some of the skrmlshes tn t have alread,
taken place. The train in which | was con
tanned a regiment of French soldiers with their
officers Arrived at Asst, men and officers got
out to stretch their limbs, As soon as the wo-
uen saw the French they rushed towards thcm
throwing themselves at their ieet crying out,
"KIll them, kill them-aveuge our husbanda--
kill kill the Austrians Frantic with hatred
and desire Of revenge, these women were terri
BILE to behold their eyes glared, and they con
vusively clutched the officers, shrieking, "kIll
them kill them" j cannot find words to de
scribe TO you the terrible reality of this painful
scene. The officers moved aud excited, could
only shake the hands Of the weeping women,
promising them that their turn would come, aud
that the Anslrians would pay dearly for the
booi they had spilled and the desolatiOn and
misery they had brought upon an unohendmg
people. AS for the soldiers, they were most
pruioundedly impressed, and one old fellow,
slhpplng his musket most enerI Ietically, said 10
a woman near him that was weeping bitterly :
"Dun't cry, Sapr-t, they shall soon make ac
quaintance with this bijou, and then gare Ia
deSSOus." He walked OIL, rubbing his eyes
and eursing and swearing in the most horrible
manner. He was moved, and knew ofnO other
method OF soothing his feelings.
