the City Hall. Over three thousand persons
were present. U
The meeting was addressed by Colonel Walsh,
one of the most eloquent Irish agitators in the
country. who, among /,ther things, declared
that while it would not be judicious for him to
say when a blow would be struck, yet before
the blossoms cf spring turned into the vintage
of summer Irish blood would be paying the
price of Ireland's redemption; that when they
again moved on Canada, which would be very
soon, they would not be armed with old mus
kets, but with breech- leaders, and each brigade
would have its quota of cavalry and artillery.
1t had been stated in the papers that fifty
thousand men We're ready to move forward. L
tell you they will go, and should they fall fifty
thousand more win follow.
Senator Meehan, who was announced as a

OPERATION OF THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY Asso-
CATIONS AND OTHER SOCIETIES AMONG THE
NEGROES - TRAINING SCHOOL FOR ooLoRRD
TEACHERS, ETC.
FORTRESS MONROE May 29-The American
Missionary Association of New York recently
purchased the Wood farm, or Little Scotland,' p.
as II Is sometimes called containing about $50
acres of good farming land, situated on the
west side of Hampton Creek. The price paid
was $4,000. The Association design putting
into operation by next fall training school
for colored teachers Pnpis are to be received
from all parts of the country, and admitted to
the school, and furnished with good accommo
dations and an excellent education, to qualify
them 10 take their destined positions Ia life
In the centre of this purchase there is a large
National Cemetery, containing about five thou
sand soldiers graves, the farm having been,
ings, wherein the lives of ten thousand patients
were taken care of. Should the training school
succeed, an attempt will be made to establish
a tirst-ciass Normal School or Colored College,
which Will be amply supported to render 1t
efficient and successful in accomplishing the
objects which led TO its inception.
The entire colored school system which is in
general use in this District of the Freedmen's
bureau, and more particularly on the PENN
sula, has been inaugurated by the different MIS-
sionary societies OF the North, and the rapid
progress which has been made by the scholars
of all ages, has induced these additional steps
to be taken towards a still further imp proVement
and elevation of the race The teachers of these
schools are sent out by the societies, and all the
expenses incurred in building school-houses
and providing for the education of the pupils,
are instantly betrayed and provided for by the
charities of the benevolent.
The school system is perfect, and the teachers,
VINO manifest highly creditable zeal in the
discharge of their duties, belong to the most
respectable classes of society-many of them
coming from distance to labor In shaping the
future career OF the young negroes. General
Armstrong Superintendent of the District, has
the supervision of the schools, aud it is mainly
present success is attributable. The education
of the negro is generally viewed by the people
of the country, with a rapidly improving
ODiniOn. a the only wise that
elevate them from the degradation to which
they had so long been subjected; and IL is
theme of congratulation that the predictions of
opposition ard difficulty to be met with, have
disappeared as the work progresses.

NEW MODE OF LOCKING SAFETY LAMPS
One of the latest English patents is new in
vention for fastening Davy lamp in such
way that it cannot be opened without detec-
tion. The fastener consists Of leaden rivet
which is passed through the eye now used fog
holding the bow of the paddock, and this riYet
is then pressed at each end between a pair of
dies, by which process the operation is COM
plete. The object of the invention is to pre-
vent such explosions in coal mines as arise
through the miners unlocking their lamps.

So out 1 goes, and after stiff pull

Bell sees something black in the
water, and we goes and picks it up.
Well, when he'd took it off the boat
hook, he turned as white as sheet,
and when he gave it to me, you
might have knocked me down with a
feather; it was the young footter's
cap.
