Mr.. Richard NJ. Jones, the energetic prin-

telegraphing into his school, where it will be
taught hereafter as a special branch, by his
associate teacher, Mr.. Swift. The telegraph
wire runs between the boarding house and

feet. Besides this he has made some improve
ments in his school room, by substituting slate
blackboards in place of black walls, at an ex-
pense of eighty dollars. The slate is of very
fine quality, and about the first ever intro
duced into any school in Maine. The schol-

nearly all recovered and returned to the Sem

have sold during the last two years 3G2 ,3-G
acres of land, for something over three and a
half millions of dollars-nearly all of it to
actual settlers, and if report be true, they
have never asked a man to buy,
1t is true that their lands are exceedingly
beautiful and fertile, and present attractions
and advantages Of locality, soil and climate,
which are essential in the estimation of farm
ers, probably unsurpassed by any region in
the world; but it is mainly by the printer $
art that the world has come to know it, and in
addition to cultivated fields, trade, manufac-

refinement and luxury which enterprise can

Their lands already sold have been won

is large--in some cases almost incredible.
Much equally good land remains unsold /;
can be bought of the Railroad Company at

cent. interest, and with equally good pros
poets of steady and large increase in value.

Report On the Sale Of Arms to
France.

Washington. G. Mr. Archer Of Pa, from
the minority of the committee on expendi-
lures in the war department, submitted re-
port o-day in reference to the sale of arms
to France. The report states that the great
er number of witnesses examined were off
GERS of the war and ordnance departments
or were connected Herewith, and insists in
the first place that the war department gave a
lati,udinarian construction to the act of Con-
gress Of July 20. 1865, authorizing the sale
OF. damaged arms, ordnance stores, &C.,
which is dangerous to republican form OF
government, whereas strict construction of
all acts OF Congress ought to be the rule.
Secondly, that the war and ordnance depart
ments have or could have known. if they
made enquiry. that the bulk of the arms
were going tn France, as they were delivered
at pier in New York which was the pier of
the French steamers, and at which French
war vessels were in the habit of loading
That some Of these arms were delivered d.
rectly on board French steamers from light
ers, in the presence of persons in the employ
Of the ordnance sureau at New York, and
that some were delivered in boxes marked
"R. F. which was generally understood to
mean French Republic Also that some
guns were delivered after October 10, 1870,
the day On which it became Enthusiastically
known that the Remingtons were the agents
Of the French government, leaving the ques
ton of violation of neutrality laws to be ar
gued, this proceeding might have been taken
pretext by government more captious
than Prussia, and the country might have be-
come involved in all the horrors of war. As
to the financial transactions it appears that
the whole amount for which the guns were
stated to have been sold was paid into the
treasury department, except S2l9, 1858,
which is said to have been expended in trans
portation and getting the guns ready, but the
items of this expenditure are not given.
There is no evidence that any person, ex-
cept one, received any pay or commission
from this sale, and he was not connected with
any department of the government. He re-
ceived 1000 from a firm of arms dealers
in Baltimore, on account of sale to it from
the navy department. He states that he re-
ceived the money as commissions and that
no other person got any portion of the
money.
