School Matters,

As the Public should be interested in every
thing that pertains to our Public Schools, a
brief abstract from the report of the late board
of Commissioners of Public Schools of Ale
guny county, up to July 10, 1865, may be
acceptable, as follows:
They obtained levy from the County
Commissioners of $4,000 for the year, as
also $3.50, balance due to the school fund
from the county on loan formerly made
The number of school districts in the county
is given at 136-in 80 of which, however, no
schools were held, owing to want of co-opera-
ton on the part of citizens interested. The
Board also obtained levy from the County
Commissioners for the current year Of $1,000
for school purposes-various debts due the
School fund were paid during the year, tho
thee are other dues still unpaid, satisfactory
information as to which the Board could not
obtain, and therefore referred the same to the
present Board for Investigation. The total
receipts into the School Treasury during the
year amounted to SIS, 200, and the disburse-
ments to Sl2, 600; of which $lO,4I6 were
paid to teachers.

EDWARD b. KETcHUM, who has been
rendered so notorious by his abstraction of
bonds and other securities, and the gigantic
forgeries he has committed. was arrested in
New York City on last Friday afternoon, at
house in the neighborhood q his former lodg-
ings. KErcnuM was very unconcerned and
spoke freely of his transactions" stating
that he had never left the. city and had been
on the streets every day. besides having Wis
tied the park, where he passed a number of
brokers and others who had suffered by his
operations, but who failed to recognize him.
He has been visited by his father and his wife.
During the interview between father and
son, great mutual affection was manifested,
and the two were reconcied. When arrested
he was in possession of $4,000 greenbacks.
An accurate estimate of KEToHuMs defalca-
tons foot up the handsome sum of $4,200,-
900!
