acquiring knowledge OF articulation. Aud
almost all semi-nutes who can speak, prefer
holding conversation by signs or by writing.
From all the information the committee
they came unanimously TO the con-
clusion that the education of deaf
mutss is far more general, more thorough,
more accurate, and less expensive by signs
than by lip-reading; and that very few sue
ceed in holding conversation Of any length
by the reading of the lips. But inasmuch as
some of the semi-mute and semi-deaf pupils
may derive advantage by more systematic
instruction in articulation than that hitherto
adopted, they recommended the employment
of a well-qualiied teacher for that purpose.
1.-THE board deeming it expedient to adopt
anv measure which will improve the educa-
ton of the deaf mutes, directed the Com
mittee on instruction to nominate suitable
female as teacher of articulation to such OF
the semi -nutes and semi-deaf as are likely to
be benefited by such instruction. The COM
mittee will, no doubt, promptly make the
nomination. full opportunity will thus be
afforded to test the value Of the measure"
This copious extract will fully satisfy our
readers that the directors are fully alive to
this important question, whether teaching
articulation to the deaf is as advantageous as
that of imparting instruction to them by the
annual alphabet and by signs. We do not
undertake to decide the question, but we
commend the directors for their determine
ton to impart more systematic instruction to
their semi-mute and semi-deaf pupils in arti-
culation.
The following paragraph is from the New
York World of the 18th inst.:-
HARD ON THE DEAF MUTEs.
e I. fo- Tho
improved instruction of the deaf mutes were
up here to-day, and were able to do astonish-
ing things in the way of understanding ques-
tions merely by observing the motions of the
lips as they were uttered, and answering them
audibly, as the result of q course of instruc-
ton in articulation unassisted by the ear. Mr..
Tweed made some inquiries of them which
were answered very intelligently, until he
commenced to question them about the pros
poets of the new charter and as to the names
of Harbor Masters and Port Wardens the
Governor would send in, when they relapsed
into their original mental and auricular OBJ
livion.
The report contains biographical sketch
of the late Laurent Clerc, which we may here
after notice.
The terms of admission are $3.50 a year,
payable haf yearly in advance. The INDECENT
deaf mutes of the Commonwealth, between
the ages of ten and twenty years, are sup
ported by her; those of New Jersey and
Delaware by those States.
The schools are closed on the last Wednes-
day of June and reopened on the first We'd
nesday of September. Certain questions
must be answered by the applicants for the
bounty of the Commonwealth prior to theil
admission into the institution.
Visitors are admitted on Thursday at &
o'clock, on presenting ticket from a direc
tor, except during the months of July
August, and September.

SIT may be added that instruction in
articulation has been abandoned in most of
the schools in Great Britain, except in the
cases of the semi-deaf and semi-mute.
''Sensibly alive to whatever is calculated to
improve the education of the deaf mute, and
aware of the interest taken by the public, the
Directors determined to appoint committee
OF their own body, and one of their most
competent and experienced teachers, to visit
and examine the schools where articulation
was taught, in Massachusetts, Connecticut,

THE AFRICAN DIAMOND FIELps.-The
London Times of October 23d. in an article on
the South African diamond fields, states that
there are nearly three thousand persons now
in the mines. The native population is too
small TO excite apprehension. According TO
estimates. the value of the diamonds already
found has amounted Ia u total of 100000 or
E12U.OUO. communication, from u gentle
man of high character, addressed to the Times
states that " the South African diamond fields
in their richness. their promise, and their mag
nitudr, surpass all other digging on record !"
also that there is abundance Of ground for
thousands OF men 10 work. and that the pres
ent generation is not likely 10 see the cxhaus-
ton of the fields" These mines may exist IN
reality, but If the fields are as extensive aud
productive rs represented. diamonds will be-
come about rs common as California pebbles
Old Caleb Lyon insisted that the diamond fields
Of Idaho were inexhaustibIe, but his precious
gems turned out TO be quartz pebbles. Thous.
ands OF fortune seekers will undoubtedly find
their way into the African mines from differ.
ent sections. and we doubt not but that many
old Callfornians will stampede in that direc-
ton, as experience has demonstrated that
" distance lends enchantment TO the view"
The farther off the reported discoveries the
richer they are supposed to be- and many will
squandcr their last dollar in these mining lot
teries to discover upon reaching the new Edo
RADIO that they have been again "stcamboated."

ANOTHER PRISON BREAK.

On last Tuesday evening, at about 8 o'clock,
at the Territorial Prison, tho hour having ar
rived when 1T is customary to put the convicts
in their cells and lock them up for the night,
Mr.. jeff Howell, one of the jailers, unlocked
the door leading into the main hall and stepped
inside, while Mr.. Jas. White. the other jailer,
remained on the outside of the door Imme-
diately upon stepping inside, the candle was
knocked ont of Mr.. Howell's hand and he was
seized by the prisoners, who made rush and
overpowered both Howell and White, dsarm.
ing them and locking them up in cells. Stock
and Butler, two of the convicts, had procured
a knife in some way, and during the day had
cut their irons of, and when they had succeed
ed in capturing the jailers, they repaired to the
tool-chest and in q short time all the prisoners
were freed of their shackes. The scoundrels
then packed their blankets. took about twelve
days provisions to each. and with the jailers'
pistols in their possession they started off. The
number participating in the break. and who
escaped, was twelve, and their names are Ed.

they having first compelled Hepworth, who is

the fellows had gone, Bradley picked the lock
of the cell in which the jailers were confined
and released them, which permitted them to
work on the door of the main hall. They then
took knife. reached out through the bars of
the door, and after Il tedious and tiresome job
of about two hours succeeded in saving off the
