from which he has suffered, and, so far as can
learn, has never failed. If you only knew the
immense amount of suffering that he has under
gone, then you could eoneeiue the vazue of such a
remedy as Koskoo--THAT SURELY CURES. The
great amount of good it is now doing among US
is inestimable. .ro,
With much gratitude, ....-....

UNION NORMAL SCHooL.-This institution
was opened at the corner of Camp aid Race
streets, in building provided by twelve
thousand dollars from the Bureau. Less
than year ago one teacher opened the trst
term. The students averaged less taan
thirty. The second term has just closed,
with register Of more than sixty students.
Two teachers have been busy this term.
The third term opened yesterday. An addi-
tional room has been prepared, and accom-
mediation, with elegant desks and seats, for
thirty more students are provided. And
third teacher is now secured.
The teachers are supported By the Freed
men'a Aid Society OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church. The building is kept in order, and
Improvements added by a tax Of two dol
lars per term for incidcltals from each
student.
This tax develops the seIf-respect and
self-reIiance Of the pupils, who realize that
they are not attending free schools but
that they buy and keep their own books.
The modest pretensions of the Normal
School. the economical administration OF its
affairs. and its constant growth quietly de-
Weeping promises to make it permanent
institution in New Orleans.
The purpose to provide teachers Tor the
coiored children from among themselves, is
alredy Illustrated in the fact that MISS
Rosetta Colt, the principal, has TWO young
ladies OF that class associated with her as
teachers who are paid for their services.
The officers of the board of directors are
Rev. L. C. MatIack, president; Rev. J. G.
Hartzel, treasurer; and Judge Dibbie, cor
responding secretary. These constitute an
executive committee, with full powers, who
report at the close of each term.
We commend to our friends this favorable
opportunity to have their children taught
in the higher branches of English educa-
tior by teachers whose hearts are in the
good work.
