SUPERINTENDENT or PUBLIC INsTRUc-
TIoN.-Our State was most fortunate in
the election of Prof Hoss, as Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction. A. man
of sterling integrity, untiring industry
and large experience as teacher, and
stimulated with love for his profession
most remarkable, he has thrown him.
self into his work with an enthusiasm
that has already brought forth much
and rich fruit We learn from the fol-
lowing paragraph, which we copy from
the Indiana School Journal, kindly
handed us by Prof Rice, that our Super
intendent has already hunted up no less
sum than 1890, which, with less
zeal and earnestness on the part of the
Superintendent, might have been lost to
the schools altogether:
The law makes it the duty of the Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction to
look after and hunt up, and so far as
may be preserve, the school funds held
in trust by the several counties of the
State. In compliance with this requisi-
tion of law, the present Superintendent
has given very considerable attention
to the fund, which attention has resulted
in the finding, and having added to said
funds, the large sum of $l8,300 This
work has been greatly facilitated by the
skillful and efficient labors of the first
clerk, Granville G. Moore.
1t is believed several thousand more
can be added during the present term of
office The Department has other plans
under consideration, looking to the in
crease and protection of the funds.

ln nnrnown steamer Burned.

TFrom the Savannah Republican, November J
We learn from passengers who ar
rived here on Sunday last in the stea m
sb;n Weybossett, from New York, that
on Friday, somewhere in the region oi
Cape Hatteras, steamer was discover
ed to be on FIRE, about ten miles from
the Weybossett, and, a short while after,
a terrific explosion took place on board,
the report of which was distinctly heard.
The Weybossett ran down to her, but
could see nothing to indi ate where she
came from or whittier bound, the only
vestige left of the craft being the frag-
ments of wood and floating barrels and
boxes
We have been kindly permitted to
make the following extract from the
log.book of the Weybossett, which
gives all the particulars, as far as
known, of this terrible catastrophe, for
which favor we are indebted to the
obliging mate of that steamer:
"On the 9th of October, at eight
o clock A. NJ, Cape Hatteras bearing
N. N. W., fifteen miles distant, saw a
vessel on fire, with another vessel, ap-
parently bark, lying alongside of her.
As soon as she was discovered to be on
fire we ran down to her, and when with
in about FIVE miles of her she blew up,
and nothing was afterwards seen but q
few spars, boxes, bales, &c"
The mate of the Weybossett thinks
she was but small size river steamer,
and no doubt used as a transport; and
that she had large quantity of powder
on board, as the explosion was evident
ly caused by that material. She was
painted white. He has no doubt the
persons on board were taken off before
she blew up, by the vessel seen along
side of her
-. To form a faint idea of the fearful
power of the explosion, it is only neces.
sary to state that a large piece of one
of the masts was blown into the air to
a distance of over two miles.

FALSE RETURNS Assessor Bradshaw,
under authority of the excise law, day
before yesterday seized the books of a
firm largely engaged in the manufacture
of fashionable clothing, and house
that enjoys the confidence and patronage
of our people to an extent equal to any
of It's cotemporaries. The head of the
house has been, since September, 1862,
returning the amount of his manufac-
lures at. an average Of $400 per month,
and it began to be whispered that he was
thereby defrauding Uncle Sam out of a
snug g'sum of menufacturer'stax So far
as examined, the books of the firm show
manufactures to the amount of $4,000
per month. The name of the firm would
be fine advertisement for its business,
but crushing one on its honesty. The
Government tax is six per cent. upon
the manufactures. In case of fraud,
one hundred per cent is added, which in
this case will be a snug little sum ol
money. In addition to this, others oc-
cur, where parties neglect to make
returns of their business promptly every
month, upon which negligence the law
adds penalty of fifty per cent. In al
cases, honesty and a good conscience
as well as good memory, will be found
highly beneficial Indianapolis Jour.
