81. fETERS PARoCIIIAI. SCHOOL EXHIBITIONS.
Inc annual exhibitions given by the pupils of
ST. Peters School, took place on the evening
OF Tuesday and Wednesday last, July 4th and
9Th, at the School Hall, on Marigny street.
On Tuesday evening the male department, at
present under the direction of Mr.. NJ p. Dwyer,
gentleman i'll every respect qualified for the
position, presented a very pleasing and int er-
esting programme. The audience was exceed
ingly numerous, and evidently appreciative
from the hearty applause accorded the partici-
pants in the exercises. The entertainment
commenced with the delivery of an opening
address by Master Charles NJ. Causland, who
was followed by Master D. O'Connel1, Jr, who
read o composition entitled "The Day we
celebrate" Our space will not permit us to
enter into details, but we must say that we
have never experienced more pleasure on any
similar occasion than we did in listening, on
shat occasion, to various competitions, decla-
nations and dialogues, many of which were of
q very amusing character. The school choir
also contributed to the entertainment by sing
ing several very pretty songs. The exercises
terminated with pleasing address.
On the following evening the parents, rela-
tives and friends of the pupils of tho female
department were entertained most agreeab'y
with . very interesting exhibition. The pro.
gramme comprised "The Peasant Queen,n q
drama in two acts, in which the pupils very
creditably filed the respective roles assigned
them. After tho first act the choir sang "The
Little Church around the Corner" and at the
close of the second act, the beautiful ballad,
Sleep, Darling Baby" and each song was
followed by q recitation. The audience was
excited to roars of laughter at the recital of
the many amusing incidents attending "Aunt
Bethiah's Journey rs related by the old lady
in dialogue between herself and few of
her young friends. At tho end of the dialogue
the choir again sang "Sweet Little Nell.n
4" The Six Virtues" q dialogue, next followed
there were Charity, Mercy, Humility, Modesty,
Patience and Temperance, and it seemed as if
each of the dramatis persona had been selected
sentation of that virtue most clearly depicted
in its own sweet face.
This representation was followed by the dis
tribntion of premiums among the rneritorious
pupils, after which the choir sang, CAT Homo
with Those we Love-" and as pleasant and as
creditsble an entertainment to all interested
as we have ever witnessed was brought to q
close.
The school is at present in q very fourishing
the female department being in
charge of the Sisters, and the male department
under the most efficient lay professors. During
vacation Mr.. Dwyer. the principal, will keep
school for boys who prefer continuing their
studies to idling away their time.
Esther Moynihan, the well-loved pastor, was
beside himself with joy ct the success of the
and that joy was shared by not q
few of his reverend fellow laborers in tho good
cause of religion and education, who graced
the occasion with their presence

The lapse Of time from Sunday to Tuesday,
appeared to have renewed the energies of those
who had participated in Sundays festivities,
and from the opening of tho gate until long
after dark, ono continuous stream of human
beings kept pouring into the grounds, until ut
least 5000 persons had assembled. Sunday
was excelled, Monday annihilated, and every
body felt that tho festival was an assured and
unprecedented success, in fact, the success Of
the season. But the great natal dsy of Ameri-
cas- Independence could not Be allowed to
pass unnoticed by her adopted sous of Erin,
and the talented young Irishman and Hiber-
nian, Mr.. Frank McGloin, who had been
chosen as the orator of the occasion, mounted
an impromptu rostrum and delivered an elc-
quent and thrilling address commemorative of
the glories and grandeur, the soFrows and suf
ferings of dear old Ireland and of the mutual
obligation existing between her and America,
after which the sports commenced, lasting I'M
til darkness covered the entire grounds and
this individual sought in the secluded recesses
of Capt. TOMS tent spiritual solace for his
heated frame. On the whole, tie affair was
one of which every Irishman should feel
proud, as proving to the world and the SLAM
dercrs of their race that Irshmeu can meet
sport quietly and part friendly, which
has certainly been done ut the first annual
conclusion, with an imaginative bowl of Capt.
Toms punch, drink long life TO the
Hibcrnians.

CONCERNING BUGs.-Out in Iowa a ueG
theory is advanced concerning the chinch-
bug. A few years since, in AppanooSc
county, general attempt was made TO raise
spring wheat, on the plea that fall wheat
was almost certain to freeze out. But the
yield Of chinch-hugs increased from year to
year with the area OF wheat sOwn, until at
hast the farmers were compelled to abandon
the culture Of spring wheat. Soon the pest
also disappeared. Lately the farmers again
put in spring wheat in considerable quauti-
ties, and the chinch-bug reappeared. They
are first seen in fields of spring wheat, but
soon spread and consume fields of corn,
oats, fall wheat, or almost anything else on
the farm. 1t is firmly believed that if the
spring wheat sown this year, in the locality
mentioned, had been committed to the
tlimes instead OF the ground. and the fields
permitted to lie idle. the county would have
been the gamer 10y 100000.

STEAM NAVIGATION OF CAHALs.-The t'l-
lowing draft of plan for steam navigation
on canals has been submitted to the New
York Legislature by Frederick y. Alex
auder. lie proposes:
|. To lay down a narrOw-@auge track
say two fcet--on each side Of tie canal, on
one side TO run one way, and on tie othcf
side in the opposite direction.
.. Have small locomotives 10 ran on
these tracks and tow the boats by 4 line
precisely H. if they were horses, thus re.
q,iiriDg no change OF boats from those used
1T present.
9. These engines to belong to the canal
company or some other corporation. and
to be hired out by the day, hour, or job,
lust as hack carriages. 1t is recommended!
that they use one of the numerous patents
for petroleum, rs the fire could be got up
quicker and eXtEgui>hcd sooner, thus
saving expense.
4. Switches to be placed where requisite,
or each locomotive 10 have IN arrangement
of movcablc rails Qhc plan OF which will
be furnished if necessary, 50 that 1t may
leave the track and turn on its " circular .
rail, like an ordinary carriage on read.
But this is of minor Importance.

THE K ASAyHA AND JAMES RIVER Ca

The KASAwHA AND JAMES RIVER CANAL
| ENTERrRIsE.-The producers, merchants,
and business men generally. of the hio
| valley, believe that Il waterway to Norfolk
| via the James river would be a good thing
| fur the interests OF their section and for IN"
trade of the West generally: consequently
Il canal enterprise, called the " kan=wia
and James River Canal" has been pro-
iected, and as all such colossal schemes are
heavy to push forward. the men of he Mis-
si>sIppi valley are called upon to give moral
and material aid. These appeals have en-
listed the >ympathics of bon. Thom.s Moll-
roe, of Dubuque. aud he has come to It.
Louis to persuade orr Merchants En-
change and the Board of Trade to unite in
Il petition to Congress To do something
handsome to help on this great enterprise.
Mr.. Monroe will address the directors of
the Exchange aud others who may feel an
interest in the matter to-day at halEpa>t i.
in the sccretary's room on Change. There
can be no question but that ii such water
path existed to-day this city would derive
incalculable benefits from il. 1t would be
a direct, short, and cheap route to the sea,
aud would give us al outlet for our pro-
ducts more favorable, il possible, Than lay

The DIVISION OF TEyAs.-At the election
this fall IN Texas the people will vote upon
the proposition to divide the State into
three States. The Legislature passed an
act submitting the question to vote. in
which the names Of the three States are
Eastern, Middle, and Western Texas.
Eastern Texas hes east of the Trinity liver,
Middle Texas extends from the Trinity
river TO the Colorado river, and Western
Texas lies west of the Colorado. OF these
the first is much the most populous, having
over $4,000 inhabitants, Middle Texas
ranking next. But the least populous has
over 2OO, 0C0-the entire State, as it now
stands, having 800, 600 inhabitants, A d.
vision of Texas into several distinct States
WAS provided for by the treaty OF annex
alton, and has been discussed many times
since. 1t is said that the 1 emocratS now
oppose division, while the Kepublicans
generally favor it, as it will be likely to give
them at least two more United States SEN
ators.

SENSIBLE DEcIsIoN.--The Commissioner
of Internal Revenue decided sonic time ago
that no tax on income accrued during the
last five months Of 1870. Internal revenue
officers were instructed not TO collect thl,
tax under the act OF July last, and the
above companies in good faith paid their
customers dividends without deduafing the
tax. Slice then the Secretary OF the Treas
ury reversed the Commissioners dec'sion'
and demanded the tax. The companies
concerned reply that under instructions
from the proper Government official they
paid over the money to the stockholders.
The Solicitor of the Treasury is asked whe-
Their the companies can he compelled to pay
the tax, and he replies as follows
"Under all the circumstances, am OF
the opinion that, legally and cqu;tahly, the
department is under the necessity OF Yield
ing to the present request. and OF dcSiStng
from enforcing the collection of the tax
in question from the companies who prefer
the application.
