 The large amount of moneys received by the Commissioner of the School Fund in payment of loans, and the re-investment of the same in bonds and mortgages, have occupied the atten- ton of that officer, who has been enabled to preserve the capital. little over two millions of dollars, unimpaired.
 The amount of revenue has been fully seven per cent. on the capital, from which the Com missioner has divided $l32,048 75, to aid in the education of ll4,s ,s25 children between the ages of and l6 years. 3ea
 The scrip for l80,000 acres of land received from the United States, has been sold for $l35,000 and that sum invested in government bonds bearing per cent interest in gold.

 There are 227 boys in the State Reform School, Al having been admitted during the past year. The building is full, and the bene- fits of the institution cannot be extended to all proper subjects unless it shall be enlarged.
 The earnings of the boys in the School have been about $6000. The institution is out of debt, and has Dever been more successful in eff. fecting the design of it's founders. The good already accomplished by yeclaiming some who lao entered the paths of vice, and by educa- mg and fitting them to be useful citizens. snouid encourage and justify increased appro. priations for the enlargement and support of the institution.
