The REFoRMAToRY ScHooL-The Industrial and
Refomatory School established by the Government
at Kapalama appears only by the printed report
OF the President of the Board of Education, but by
the personal observation of all who have interested
themselves 10 look into its operations TO have be-
come one of the best and most useful institutions of
the country. Under the management of Miss Par
ker, 1t has become subject of especial remark,
more particularly with the natives, what wonder
full change has come over the supposed-to-be the
most unruly boys, who have been committed to this
school, either by legal process by the request of
parents. The boys arc contented and happy, well
fed, well clothed and lodged, and, what very Jun
porant taught self respect and good mnnnersA It
is a very pleasant thing to see these youngsters
going to Church Of a Sunday in Il body, along with
their teacher, looking bright, clean and orderly in
their conduct. The surest criterion of the moral
success Of this school is found in the fact the truth
of which we well advised, that some of the boys,
when allowed go out and visit their friends were
anxious to go back agana as soon as.possible These
too, were some of the so-called incorrigables
a BOLD ATTEMPT AT PI.sACY.-On Monday morn
ing at about o'clock, three persons attempted to
take the Schooner Warwick out of the harbor, exi-
IDENTITY with the intention Of funning away with her
The Warwick was lying along side of the wharf at
the lower end of the Esplanade, between the Pele
and the bark Agate, the Captain John Bull, andihs
wife, and two of the being in the cabin asleep
The parties who attempted 10 carry off the vessel,
had stolen boat from the brig Francisco and after
having cut the fstenings by which the schooner was
made fast to the wharf, two of them remained in
the boat while the other steered the vessel and
1owed her out TO the light house. when the rolling of
the vessel awoke the captain, who Immediately
started for the deck finding the scuttle over the
companion way fastened from the outside he seized
iron bar which fortunately lying in the cabin,
forced the seuttle open and rushed on deck The
rascals who had made the attempt TO carry of the
vessel being frightened by the energetic measures
taken by those below, took to their boat and pulled
for the shore Captain Bull, with great presence of
mind, anchored his schooner as soon as possible,
and went in pursuit with his own boat but did not
succeed in overtaking and is therefore unable to
identify those who made the attempt to steal his
vessel. The Warwick at the time had on board a
full cargo of pumpkins paia and other produce, so
that if the attempt to run her off had been
full, she would have been proysioned for long voy-
age, although water would have been scarce, there
being only barrel Of that necessary article board
II Is supposed that the attempt to run off the vessel
was made by sailors belonging to some one of the
ships in port who took that course TO get away from
their ship 1t is to be hoped that they WILDE found
out and punished as the result of their wicked at
tempt might easily have resulted much more seri-
ousy than it did -r
