Contributions flow in slowly but shoorly-fas
enuh indeed to give each Nv the Board new

hrst handlin NV the money, sevrai other com

hundreds NV people saw that bottle NV hkkcr
and greenback WIS deposited under it, and
egerly every mite it's bin overturned by pur-
sons in search Nv them relics o.;o,,
At great expense we built onto 1t a sesuon
NV wall but maxim no account NV our expendl-
toor thew overturned it, we then histed sign

too prevent EN- from going for the artikles tho

this staff Nv disbeleaf shood, one wood suppose
hey taut EN- that the greenback and lik ker Good
nj possibly be there arfter so long a period he'd
ensood So ez larst resort we stuck two posts
in the ground and drawd an iron chane over il.
That got en-. Force is about the only thing NV
any account in this country
The Board met last mite at the Post Offs
which, ontil we git the Institoot built will be
the headquarters NV the Trustees to consider
the propriety Nv publishin seeries NV skool
books, adapted especially to the Southern in
teileck, and kalkuiated partickelerly to keep
alive in the minds NV the buddin yooths nv the
late Confederacy which is unfortunately de-
ceest, lively opinion NV themselves and a cor
respondin hatred Nv Moo England and the
North generally. We hev he'd serious douts
whether proper Ulcers Good be instilled into a
yooth from book written by Boston man,
and printed in Cincinnati, onto paper made in
Moo York
1 submitted to the Board example for moo
Arithmetic, to wit:
A Yanky sent a substitoot into the Federal
army at cost Nv $780, passin off onto him too
cOunterft ten dollar notes. To make up expen-
ditoor, he to wonst swindles a innocent Ken
tuckian out NV 500 in patent rite, Alabam-
ian out ov $500 in Western land trade, and
the balance he makes up by sellin wooden nut
megs, witch he turns Outoy Eastwood at a pro-
fit ov sents per one. The CRATE moral ques-
ton is, how meny nutmegs must this ingenious
but unprincipled cuss manufaktur, and how
long does it take him with the improved ma
shenery thay hev to do it? lrss.
The Southern soljers at the battle ov the first
Bull Run capturec IS Federals, one ov whom
he'd upon his person $12 in greenbacks and
the others SO each. How meny of Johnson's
postmasters Good be bot with the proceeds oy
