fact that they perceive that so few children
have been, and are being, really taught to
read under the prevailing system of instruc-
ton in these Schools whence they have,
year by year, been more and more impressed
with the idea that time spent in them is time
lost. This impression we believe to have
been greatly strengthened since the introduce
ton Of Barbadian L2borers here among
them, although not Of course Of the best class
/ in their own Country, n0n-roaders, and even
non-WriterS, are comparatively few and this
fact has naturally served, mere than ever, to
convince our WI people of the ineficiency CT
our schools, and to confirm them in their
Carelessness about securing the attendance OF
their children thereat-0fcring, at the same
time, a simple and obvious explanation of the
fact, "distreSsing" and 'lamentable," that
"the Royal Ordinance of 22nd August 1868,
Seemed in the beginning to have some good
"elIect in raising the attendance, but now
"things have fallen back into the same Ia
"mentable state 2s in former years, and are
"oyen worse than before the introduction Of

1865 This being Tie case, We hold that
the principal, and most essential remedy for
the increasing evil Of irregular attendance
will be found in awakening the interest Of
Parents in their Chi!dren'S education and
We earnestly contend that this can only be
accomplished by the introduction Of some
system OF teaching calculated to be more
successful than the present has ever been, or
can ever be. We are convinced, from per
sonal observation, that were the instruction
more effective than it is with those children
who do attend, very few would be kept back

More Raids.

A Montreal correspondent OF the New
York Tribune, who processes TO have
peculiar facilities for ascertaining the
plans OF the rebels in Canada, gives the
particulars OF plot said to be concoct-
ed and ready for execution by them'
which embraces LIST, the capture of the
prison at Dsnnemora, N. Y, and the
release OF the convicts therein whom
the raiders expect to join them, then a
descent on Plattsburgh, and Keeseville'
N. Y, and Burlington, Waterbury and
MONTPELIER, VT, thence pushing on TO
Haverhill, N. H., and across the latter
State TO Maine, and SO back home
to Canada. Their purpose is to plum
der and devastate, until driven out OF
the States by superior force; and they
feel certain Of protection in the British
Provinces.
The Tribune says, editorially, that its
correspondent has such means of know
ing the Rebel plans, that 1t has no doubt
of the truth of his statements. 1t
thinks, however that the publicity
given by the correspondent to the pro-
posed expedition will probably induce
the Anglo-rebels to abandon 1T, at least
for the present. ~

lier, &C, mad better be looking to their

THE MoNIToRs.-In his report to the
Navy Department on the subject of mon
itors, Admiral Porter says the Monad-
mock is the most perfect success and
could ride out a gale at anchor in the
Atlantic ocean. She is capable Of cross
ing the ocean alone, and could destroy
any vessel in the French or British
Navy. The monitors left Hampton
Roads on the 18th ult., and on the 2lst
ult it blew hard from the southwest.
They made the best weather, and got
over the roads easier than any of the
other vessels in the fleet. He thinks on
account OF the slowness of their fire,
they are not calculated to silence heavy
batteries, out they are famous coadiut-
ors in light to put in heavy blows.

or from persons who were present, it ap-
pears that they were removing goods from
their residence, which was surrounded by
the high water, and in attempting to re-
turn to shore in skiff, in company with
another man, from some cause they got
frightened and jumped from the skiff. One
man reached the shore by wading, but Mr..
