was furnished exclusively by Germans
who attended the picnic, and that
neither Germans. the congregation of

CoRoNER's INQUEST. - Coroner
Sauer held an inquest yesterday, on
the body Of Edward Bulls, whose
falling into the river a few nights
since was reported in the JOURNAL.
His body was found near the mouth of
Pigeon Greek, by fisherman, named
George Fridley.
His neck was found to be broken,
and the jury returned a verdict that
death was caused by coming in con-
tact with the wheel of the steamer
Silver Moon, whereby his neck was
broken. His body will be kept by
the Coroner, to await an answer to a
dispatch sent to his father, who lives
in Kew York City.

Mr.. Townsend, during the time he
has had charge Of his school. has
proved himself faithful and efficient
worker for the elevation of his race,
a modest and unobtrusive gentleman.

His falling health, which compels
his resignation, will deprive the col

factor, and one who has reflected

EXAMINATION OF THE CoLoRED
SCHOOLS. - UPPER SCHOOL. - The
examination here showed a marked
progress since that of February, al
though the school labors under the
disadvantage of a continually chang
ing attendance; yet the perseverance
and patience of the Principal, Mr..
Townsend. and his assistant, Miss
Lucy Wilson. have accomplished a
great deal. The progress was espec-
tally apparent in one scholar, a young
man who. last February. stumbled
over words of three letters, aud the
Roman numerals. Yesterday, his
reading, definitions, geography and
arithmetical exercises would have
done credit to scholar of much long
er standing.
In singing they all joined most
heartily. Mr.. John Fl. Carter pre-
sided at the melodeon, furnishing ex-
cellent MUSIC.
The teachers report below shows
that the same boy carried of the palm
this term that took it last term. for

The examination was attended by

and lady.
Losoer Sch0oI.-The examination
in this school, although not so exten.
sive as the other. was very interesting
and showed great progress. Mr.
Jackson labored under considerable
disadvantage In taking this school
which had become so attached to It's
former teacher, as to view him at first
with jealousy. That feeling has now
worn away, and teacher and scholars
are much attached to each other.
In this school, although smaller
than the other, are some unusually
bright scholars, that display great
aptness and quickness in learning and
applying their lessons. There were
fewer spectators here; not over hall
a dozen, while at the upper school the
room was crowded.
At the close of the morning exer.
else, short addresses were delivered
by visitors, complimentipg the schol-
ars on their perseverance, aud the
teacher on the faithful and able per-
Torrance of his duty.

musician. He referred to the time
when this power was neglected, and
the old droning songs begot a slow,
droning spirit. He called on Mr..
Foote, of Chicago. who was paying
especial attention to music. and at the
same time was an ardent Sabbath
School man. Mr.. Genung's remarks
ere warmly applauded.
Mr.. Foote came forward and spoke
of his interest in Sabbath Schools and
his experience In connection with
them; the power of music in awaken
ing and sustaining interest at the Sab
bath Schools, and continued with great
earnestness, until his time was de-
clared exhausted.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Foote'S re-
marks, a song being called for, he
called on Mrs. Brewer. of Chicago
and together they sang Hoods
bridge of Signs" Zone Poor Un-
fortunate), &C.. giving to that beauti-
full poem q significance and power il
never before possessed. No sermon
could be more powerful than the man
ner in which this strangely magnif-
cent poem was at once sung and de.
claimed.
Col. Ray asked if the people assem-
bled were willing after this, that those
unfortunates, who gave rise to that
magnificent hymn, should go down
over the Bridge of Signs as that one
had done. Mr.. Jacobs had offered to
be one Of ten to canvass the State fo1
Christ's sake, and do his work in
bringing in the unfortunates to His
fold; who, he asked. would be the
other nine? In response to his pow.
