School Meeting.

The annual meeting Of st. Charles District
Township was held according to notice, March
18th, 1861.
After the meeting was called to order, the
report of the Secretary was called for, when
he reported as follows:
Mr.. President The Board of Directors, at
their regular meeting in April last in order
to avoid incuring IA large indebtedness for the
payment of teachers, mot having any funds
i'll the Treasury at that time provided for
only three months school. for the summer
term. Teachers were employed in each sub
district except No. q, where no suitable house
or room could be obtained, and with one cx-
ception taught the full term. At the October
meeting, the Board, although they desired
four months term of school for winter, did
not regard it cXpedient to arrange for 50 long
a term. In order to secure us long Il school Us
possible, they apportioned to each sub-distnCt
sum which, il was considered, would give
an average Of more than three months school.
In No 6, II Teacher was employed for four
months, and in No. for four and Il half
months, these sub-districts having the benefit
of the amount provided for their summer
schools majority of the schools were thus
provided with four months school, and at
recent special meeting of the Board OF Direc-
tors, they provided by an additional appro-
priation for four months in all the sub-dis
tricts, and increased the wages Of one teacher
from SO 80 to $50 per month. In No. 3,
two teachers are employed and the school di
vidcd into two departments, and kept in sepa-
rate buildings. The number of scholars in
attendance last year in sub district No. 8 was

A despatch from Washington in reference
to the reading of the address, says:

The opening sentence of the Inaugural,
Fellow citizens OF the United States, was
the signal for prolonged applause-the good
Union sentiment thereof striking tender
chord in the popular breast. Again, when,
after defining certain actions TO be his duty,
lie said, Aud shall perform il, there was
a rapturous and uproarious manifestation of
applause, which continued for some moments
Every sentiment which indicated frmncss in
the Presidential chair, and every statement of
Il concilatory nature, was chcered to the echo;
while his appeal to his dissatisfied fellow-coun-
trymen, desiring them to reflect calmly, and
not hurry into false steps, was welcomed by
one and all most cordially. The closing senti-
ment upset the water pot of many of his hear
ers, and at this point alone did the melodious
voice OF the President elect falter.
