FmE.-A building Edsto Island the proper
ty Of Mr. j. j. 3. FREY, and occupied BY him as
store and residence was burnt down on last Mon
day night, ct about half-past 10 O'Clock, and the

The GER,1aN SUNDAY SCHOOL, attached to the
st. Matthew's Lutheran Church, corner Of Hasel
and Arson streets, numbers three hundred
pupils. Before the war this school had Q very
good Ebrury, which, however, has suffered serious
inroads BY the casualties of war; as well as by the
natural wear Of several years service. To remedy
this evil Mr.. HOFFMAN, the Superintendent, has
arranged an ,.tertainment to come off on Thurs
day evening ncxt, at the Hall Of the s;B1uderIicae
Bund, = the proceeds of which are to be devoted to
the purchase Of new library.
To KEEP OUT LoArERs-The boys Of Steamer
Company No 2, at Toledo, Ohio, have prepared
novel device to prevent loafers from lounging in
their room. In q long bench, where visitors
usually sit, they have arranged by means Of spring
wire, small sharp pointed steel instruments, which
have an "elevatng" tendency to those who at
tempt to occupy the bench. We learn that seve-
ralhave been sset up rather suddenly by the in
strunent Of torture and were not slow to take the
int int al 1,oo
annoyed by those who visit the place for no Other
reason than to sit by good fire, whittle and tel
stories.

APPOINTMENTS N SOUTHERN COLLEGES. Rev.
GEORGE W. McPHAu,, Of Norfolk, Va, who was

will afford to iim il his advanced years, it seems
to be very appropriate appointment. "a
