The RumOred EvacuatiO1 Of Rich

The RumOred Evacuation Of Rich
mOnd.
We have been 60 long fed with sensation
rumOrs to the effect that Richmond is to
be Immediately evacuated that the public
is not likely to be startled from its pro
priety by the announcement in yesterday
evenings telegraphic dispatches that the
evacuation of the city is actually being
commenced. The report is, however, quite
fully corroborated by the facts mentioned
in the dispatch, and we see no reason for
doubling it. The destruction of the James
river canal leaves the Danville railroad as
the only avenue through which Richmond
and Lees army can be fed. This road is
in poor condition and utterly unable to do
the work required of it. The rebels must
leave or starve.
Buff Lee hesitates much longer about
taking this step, he will find that the decis-
ion will be entirely removed from his
hands. General Grant is even now mstur-
ing plan which will cut off the Dsnville
road and entirely isolate the Confsderacy.
We venture the prediction that that move
will be made in few days, and that it will
thoroughly wind up the rebelliOn-proba-
bly, without battle.

PupIic Printing in ohio .

We have received q copy of the annual
report of W. Il Foster, Supervisor Of Pub.
Tic Printing in Ohio, for the year 1854
This officer entered upon his duties on the
7th of December last. He has instituted
q change in the system of books kept in
his Office, so as to secure a full and sepa-
rate exhibit of the cost of paper, cOmpo-
sision, press-work, binding, &c, SC. To do
this he requires all public printing to pass
through his own hands instead of going di-
rectly to the printer as heretofore.
The total cost of the printing and bind
ing for the state, during the fiscal year
ending November 3Oth, 1864 is $45, 5,s44 %,
from which should be deducted $e,699.23
paid for work done in 1868, leaving the
actual expense, for the year 1854, $37,
144,ss.
The total amount paid for advertising
and for salaries to Supervisors of public
printing, during the past year, was 81,
1926.
The report recommends an appropriation
of 100000 vr= 100000 for printing, and

ended in any one year was $4s.ssO4O in

AT CLEVELAND,
RuSSelI's Forest City House,
From MONDAY, Msy 18th, until SAT-
URDAY, May 2Oth.

DR.. G. B. LIGHTHILL'S first visit to
Ohio was induced by numerous applics-
tions for treatment from parties unable to
visit New York for that purpose, and who
can not be successfully treated except after
a personal examination. His practice has
been so successful that he has repeated his
visits to Cleveland several times. Still he
finds that it is almost as difficult for some
parties desiring his services, to visit him at
Cleveland, that in compliance with the re-
quests of many citizens, he has consented,
before returning to Europe, to visit several
central points in Northern Ohio, making
Cleveland his headquarters, 30 that all who
desire can consult him.
For the past twelve years DR.. Lighthill
has paid exclusive attention to the treat
ment Cf deafness and cstarTh in its vari-
Gus forms. He has practiced in New York,
and other principal Eastern cities, where,
until few months past, he was associated
with his cousin, DR.. E.B. Lighthill, and, to-
gether, they have acquired standing
which has earned for the "Lighthill In
stitute its present great reputation.

historical painting of Perry's victory, for
which the Ohio Legislature appropriated
$4,000, and for which the painter now asks
an additional compensation of $4,000.
The Journal editorially, seems to think
that the Legislature can use the funds of
the State to better advantage than by
voting $4,000 for the purchase of the pic

The Syracuse Journal is likewise filed
with details Of the injuries done to the
railroads. AS these have been re-
paired they possess but little interest to
Western readers. It ass the following in
regard to the canals:
Immense damage has been done to the
canals, but the full extent has not been as
certained. Reports are current Of the al
most entire destruction of the Genesee
Valley Canal, and Of large breach at
Brighton, on the Erie Canal.
Nearly all the cuiverts on the Middle
Division of the Eric Canal are more or less
damaged, and many small breaches have
been made in the banks; but the full ex-
tent of the damage done cannot be Rscer-
tanned until the water is drawn off.
AT UTICA.
The Utica Herald of Saturday, gives q
vivid description of affairs in that city and
section:
Two men we're drowned st Clark's Mills.
The water rose to the gss-works, putting
out the fires and stopping the supply for q
time. The iron bridge over the Utica and
Buffalo Railroad was carried away, and the
telegraph lines east. The track of the
New York Central Rsilrosd between Fon-
da and Rome is damaged to greater OF
less extent. AT Fonda, the bridge was
carried away, being struck by drifting
canal boats. The bridge at Pslstine was
also swept away. At Cohoes, the road
bridge was considerably damaged by float
ing ice.
THE HUDSON.
The ice moved out of the Hudson, at
Albany, on Friday, and, becoming choked
at different points south, has resulted in
forming most tremendous food. At AL
bany the lower portion of the city was sub
merged, and on Saturday hat-bosts took
the place of hacks, and passengers By the
ferries walked in the regions of the gas.
lights. The track of the Hudson River
Railroad was submerged for miles between
Poughkeepsie and Albany. The outside
track in many places is washed away.
Travel bet ween New York and the State
capital is accomplished now only by the
Harlem road.
THE CONNECTICUT.
The Connecticut commenced rising on
Tuesday, and on Saturday noon had reach
ed the height of twenty. three feet and Ave
inches above low water mark, at Hartford.
The Agawsm overhowed near West
Springfield, submerging the railroad and
toll bridges. The ChicOpee was very high
at the last accounts, and likely to do deal
of damage. At Northampton, Hadley and
Westfeld, the low lands were all sub
merged.
The Good caused more than inconveni.
cree in Berkshire county, the mountain
streams filling up and oVerfowiDg so sud-
denly as to sweep away dams and to dc
other damage which will take thousands Of
dollars to repair. Not for thirty yesrs at
least has such freshet been known. High
ways and railroads in many places are
flooded dams and bridges which have moi
already been taken off are endangered, and
much excitement prevails. The roads, al
Silver Lake, Taconic, and other points il
Pittsfeld, were submerged yesterday, snC
there were fine marine views in the East
Housatonic street cellars, and numerous
extemporized water privileges. Other
places in Pittsfeld suffered in the SAINT

- ntn1e reform school.

What are now known IS "Chsritable
institutions" are essentially of modern or
irin. The most enthusiastic admirer of an
tiquity viii not claim that institutions for
thecure Of the insane, for the education of
the blind, and for the reformation of way
ward boys, form any part of that inherit
ance which we have received from the re-
mote past. Neither Greece in the days OF
Psricles, nor Rome in the days of Augustus,
had q single institution answering in any
respect to the charitable institutions now
maintained for the vicious and unfortu
bate in al christian lands. They are the
fruit of our later Christian civilization.
Among the many monuments of this de-
seripgion to the enlightened charity Of our
stste, the Reform School holds no mean place
ORing to the fact that the school is yet
young, its nature and workings are less
generally understood than any other of our
great public charities. We propose to give
little space to the consideration of the
ninth annual report of the Board Of Com
missioners.
As q literary production, we cannot
speak very highly of this Report, since its
grammar is often far from accurate, and
Its rhetoric far from fAultless. Yet,as char
itY, not literature, is chiefly aimed at we
shall not lay stress upon the character of
the literary performance, but rather direct
attention TO the work the school is doing
for the good of the state.
Less than two year ago farm was pur-
chased near Lancaster, Fairfield county
and the erection of suitable buildings COM
menced. These buildings are now commo-
dious enough, the Commissioners inform
US, to receive two hundred and thirty in
mates. The following table exhibits the
work of the school between March Let 1868
and March 1st 1854:
