Office OF the State Treasurer, Mai. Bristor.
Present, Prof. W. r. White. ca oDfcio.
President of tue Board !: Rev. j. 7. Nc
Clure, Secretary Major Bristor and
General Wi,cher.
The principal business transacted at
the meeting was the passage of a reso-
luton rendering the use of the build
ing at West Liberty 20 :. K Thompson,
Professor of Natural Sciences. in the
State Normal School Of Pennsylvania.
located at Edinboro, Erie county. A
committee, consisting of Prof. White.
Rev. Mcclure and Major Bristor, was
appointed to examine Prof. Thompson
AS to his qualifications to take charge
of such an institution. Gen. witcher
was also appointed TO proceed to Guy
sndottc, the seat OF our own State Nor
NAL School, and receive the title to ten
acres of land recently purchased by the
Board. After the transaction OF some
other business, OF no public impor-
lance, however, the Board adjourned.
Prof. White Informs us that he is
CORES ponding with educators in other
States for the purpose of securing com
petent persons to take charge of our
State institution. Extensive repairs are
being made to the building, and 1t is
thought they will be completed and the
Normal School be formally opened for
the reception of pupils by the LIST of
January next. The Professor reports
that there is IA great demand for good
teachers in the interior, which he is to-
tally unable TO supply.
In reference to the branch Normal
School at West Liberty, we are informed
that Prof. Thompson proposes to secure
the services OF two or more assistants,
and TO commence operations at farthest
in two months. He intends to make it
first-elass In every particular. OF his
own qualifications, he brings the high
est testimonials, among which are
found strong recommendations by
Hon. ]. p. wickersham, State Super
intendent of Public Schools in Penn
sylvania, and from Rev. A. Martin, d.
D., late OF our city.
1t is hoped when these schools are
opened and thoroughly equipped with
competent instructors and all the neces-
sary appliances, that the demand for
teachers, now so pressing and annually
increasing as schools are being estab-
lished, will be fully met.

POLICE CoURT.-FTom some cause

nine or ten cases to report, this morn

II that be the case, we will thank some
one who has studied the subject TO ex-
plain st satisfactorily TO US But
truce to speculations.
The following cases were disposed Of :
John Rogers, mot the individual who
was followed to the stake by wife,
nine small children and one &e.,l WAS

came OF minus I'VE dollars and costs.
George Largen, from Bsllaire, came

Is always seized on that occasion, viz:
cabbages, and having succeeded thus
far SO brilliantly, ne concluded to see
what effect tossing head OF it through

cases, he had to pay dearly for it, yes

amounting to about nine dollars, which

ATTENTION is called to an article on
another ;pnge headed IAN Important
History" Owing to Mr.. Reynolds
business, it is impossible for him to
give that attention to the treatment OF
cancers which they demand. He has
succeeded in making arrangements
with DIR. Kisner, OF this city, to take
charge OF NIL those who wish TO aVnil
themselves Of this process of cure.
Mr.. Reynolds, we are told, intends
visiting the city every Thursday and
assist the Doctor If necessary. He de-
sires those who wish TO consult him
personally to meet him here, in prefer
TO visiting him at his residence.

THE RGvEB.-At dark Isst night, the
mark showed four feet, eight inches in
the channel, and rising slowly. The
landing presented liveIier appearance
yesterday than it has for the last three
months. Boats we're arriving and de.
parting, and everybody in the neigh
borhood of the wharf felt that a bright
er day was dawning on those who are
interested in steamboat matters.
Capt Darrsgh came down from Pitts
burgh, by rail, to take charge Of the
BeIlevernon. We noticed Capt. Johnson,
ofthe Glasgow, prospecting Tor trip to
St. Louis. That old veteran among
boatmen, Capt. o'Seal, of the Forest
City, made his appearance once more
at the landing with his craft, after
an absence of three or four
months. We see that Baze Doyle
'.the fat boy" is still is the office ofthe
Forest City.-The St. Mary's came down
from her summer quarters, and is much
improved by the extension of her cabin.
She leaves tor Cincinnati and Louisville
tomorrow evening. Capt. Sweeney will
be in command.-The James Reese ar
rived from Supfish at her old hour and
departed on her return "Trip to that
point, as formerly.-The Sechler came
up from below on Sunday night and
Left last evening for Cincinnati.-The
Importer, Capt. Moss; Glasgow, Capt.
Johnson, and the Belle Vernon, Capt.
Darragb. were at the landing last night,
and are receiving freight for ST. Louis.
The Leni Leoti leaves for Parkersburg
this morning at IL o'clock.

Tors DowS-Some one, who should
be discovered il possible, and punished,
tore down, Sunday night, one Of the
trees plaute in front of the Post Once.
We don't know what should be done
with a party that would do SO mean an
act as 10 destroy shade trees along the
streets, and We only Wish the indivLdu-
al could be brought before Judge Good
for few minutes. Wen guarantee
the guiity one wouldn't commit q SINH
lar offence in a long period.

DURING the past year the Singer
Sewing Machine Company sold $1,000
machines, being 5000 more than the
sales of any other company. When
we take into consideration that their
new Family Machines were scarcely
known year ago, it shows that they
possess merit In an extraordinary de-
greeto have achieved such great sue
cess. Call and see them at Isl, Main
street, where Mr.. H. Morton will take
pleasure in explaining them.

PETTY THIEvIS0.-An old citizen, It
resident near the Centre Wheeling
Market House, informed us yesterday
that ii was almost impossible 10 keep
anything in that locality, unless strict
ly guarded. He said. further, that this
petty thisviug deferred many farmers
from bringing their produce TO that mar
ket; and that IL such police system
as prevails at the Second Ward Market,
could be established there, very
marked increase in the quantity of all
kinds Of marketing, would be the re-
suit. We think it would be well enough
10 try the experiment for short time,
and II the old gentlepan's anticiPa-
lions are realized, let that market be
guarded as the one on this side OF the
creek

CoMyITTED.-It will be remembered
that John w. White, Jr., the party
charged with entering the Liquor Store
OF G. w. Franzheim on Sunday night
week, was brought before Judge
Johnston on Monday morning after the
burglary, and underwent partial ex-
animation. He was committed TO Jail
until yesterday, in order to give him an
opportunity to send for witnesses which
he said would put different phase on
his case.
Yesterday morning at II O'Clock he
was brought again before the Justice,
Mr.. Jones appearing as his counsel,
aud j. p. Rogers, Esq, Prosecuting at
torney, for the State. The witnesses
for the prosecution were examined, and
when White was asked if he had any
present, replied that he had not. The
Justice gave brief statement OF
the case and closed by saying that he
would commit him to await his trial at
the December term. The prisoner was
then taken to Jail.

appearance, simple in construction and
we think admirably adapted to the pur-

that such schoOl.room furniture can be
procured in our own State. Heretofore

abroad for it. Now that it can be had
so conveniently and at reasonable fig

their outfit OF desks and seats Of home
