annual public examination of this school
which usually continues three days
closed yesterday afternoon with Rhetor-

closed, the school has been uader the
care of an entire new board of teachers,
and none but teachers of similar expe-
rience can fully appreciate the arduous
labors of their position, Strangers TO
their pupils and TO each other, and ex-
pected not only to follow the established
rules of the school, but also in many
cases the precedents of former well're'
membered instructors, the present board
may we'll congratulate themselves that
they have made beginning; and, with
a good basis now laid, may hope to rem
der their labors more and more profit
able from term to term,

THE CREW OF THE SHENANDoAH.-The
Liverpool Post says that when the crew
of the Shenandoah landed they brought
q large quantity of luggage and seemed
to have no lack of money-facts which
indicated that their long cruise had not
been unrewarded. Attempts to draw
them into conversation rarely succeeded,
and when they did it was evident that
they spoke rather to evade curiosity
than to satisfy it. The men, indeed, ap-
peared to be themselves quite in the dark
as to their position and though under
the impression that they had done with
the Shenandoah for good and all, APP
peared to labor under fear Of commit
ting themselves or their officers by some
rash statement. Some of them eagerly
questioned the bystanders as to what the
English people thought Of the Shenan
doah. Many of the crew, says the Post
"are Liverpool men, and these, immedi-
ately upon being landed, drove to thelE
| homes"

The prospect of speedy decline in

eighty cents, and twenty-four hundred

awarded, a mill owner offered to deliver

"A lobby is already here, urging a
reduction of the tax on distilled liqnors
on the ground that the amour. of tax

that the proper place for the negroes

allowed to learn trades they will de-
prive the white mechanics of empl ~
