SAH HRAxCIsCO, July 21.-Accounts received
from the Shenandoah of June 23d, state she
was near Cape Thaddeus steering Northwest
towards fwhere o feet Of Gixty whalers was

for the purpose of warning the feet of their
danger. The Milo spoke q French whaler
which pat away to escape.
While at Ascension Island, in April, che

feared that unless the French ships open whale
boat could succeed in warning the feet that all
would be captured, Is the Shenandoah knew
exactly where to find them. They were hO-
vering among the southern ice, drawing closer
together as the ice drifted towards Behring's

From the Cincinnati Commercial.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
The process of going back to peace es-
Enlistment has been prosecuted with en-
ergy, so far as mastering out the private
soldiers and line officers is concerned. Al
most eight hundred thousand men have
been returned to civil life. In the work of
retrenchment, the tens of thousands of
disabled soldiers who thronged the hospit-
ais have not been spared They have been
turned out to do the best they can, many
of them depending upon their pensions
for the means of subsistence.
Complaint is justly made that there has
not been a corresponding reduction of the
number of officers, particularly those of
high rank. There are still generals
enough drawing pay and rations to COM
mand million soldiers, and there is q dis
position among them to hang on to good
thing.

School District No. I, in the County Of Anoka,
Plaintiff in error, vs. Daniel Robbins, Def t.
in error.
Sub division 4, sec. 20, chapter q, Compiled
Statutes limits the fund out of which payment
for purposes specified therein, shall be made
by the trustees of school district, but does
not require that the funds shall be collected
and paid to the trustees before they can con.
tract for or purchase the objects embraced IN
the Statute.
Under the provisions of this Statnte the trus-
tees of school district have authority to incur
an Indebtedness for the erection of q school.
house for the district and postpone tho pay.
ment of such Indebtedness to future day and
contract to pay interest on such Indebtedness.
Evidence of such Indebtedness made by the
Trustees to r in the form of promissory notes
are good between the parties as contracts for
forbearance and promises to pay the amounts
therein specified, and will bind the successora
in Office of the Trustees, and ON action may be
maintained thereon by the payee against the
district, whether the Trustees are in possession
of the particular fund out of which the debt is
payable or not.
Under Section z, Chapter II, Session Laws
1861, the Trustees of the School District of the
Town of Anoka by their action in pursuance
of said section, united sub-district Nos. one and
two of said Town under the style OF sub-district
No. one of the Town of Anoka.
Held that the intention of the Trustees must
determine whether their action was merger
of sub.district No. two in sub-district No. one
or not and when their action Is pleaded as
such merger demurrer to the complaint I'D
mits the fact.
The action of the trustees under this section
uniting or consolidating two sub districts, both
being corporations, must be regarded as q
merger of the old corporations into the new
one, and in the absence of provision to the con-
trary the new corporation succeeds to the
rights and liabilities of the old ones.
The saving clause in section 60 of the act
presumes the right Of action, but the remedy
must be had against the corporation az it now
exists.
When an Indebtedness is payable out of q
particular fund the judgment mast be executed
ont of that fund.
