From the Romney Intel lgence'
The B ,ard Of REGENTS of the 1nstitu-
ton Tor the Deaf Dumb and Bind held
their meeting on the 18Th Of this month
Their time was mostly occupied 10 pre-
pairing their annual report to the Gov
ernor. This engaged their attention
more than ordinarily, from the tact that
the Legislature is to meet only bienni>
ally under the new Constitution, and
at the meeting Of this wintepappropri'
atoms must he made to carry on the
institution until March, 1875. The
Rev. D. w. Fisher, at his own request
was relieved from the duties Of Treas
urer. He has given his services in this
capacity without compensation since
the organization of the institution. The
duties will heres ter be performed by
G Lamb, ESQ, Cashier OF the Bank OF
Wheeling, and payments OF the institu-
tons bills will be made by check di-
rectly upon the bank.
The Board expressed its satisfaction
at the operation Of the shoe shop 30
lately established and presided over by
II. Friddle. This shop will bear an
important part IN preparing pupils for
their own support. and will as soon as
practicable be followed by other shops.
Miss L. NJ Kern. Of this place, was
appointed a teacher in the deaf mute
department, and Mr.. j. II. Holmes, OF
Pine View. Va. was appointed to duties
fn the blind department.
Thus slowly and surely this institu-
ton is growing into usefulness, and II
the Legis AZURE makes sufficient appro-
priatioR TO maintain it tie Board will
make It second to none in the country

Mr.. Glow do things look East
General B.-The East is all right
Vermont and Maine did the thing up

West, Things look bad in Ohio, espe-
cially. The only trouble is in the
West ........ .....,. .........
Mr.. C-Greeley's visit has had de.
pressing effect, enthusins the Democrats

be brought out to counteract what

General B No, it would be Of no

coming would do more harm than
good. ..
Mr.. C.-u;s presence would have
an encouraging Influence to enthuse
our side. ,,l ;..-
General B No; no President was

sp4 eehes. General Scott was beaten
by Pierce, who stayed at nome and
made no speeches.
Mr.. C.-Ger eral Scott could not
make SPEECH.
General Bile could make b tier

Mr. C.-Gc"eral, how are things in

General B Il think Pennsylvania is
safe | believe Simon Cameron can
manage that State to make it safe.
Mr. Cit Is further West you think
the trouble is.
General B Ohio ana Indiana are
the worst. Great doubts exist about
Ohio, and Indiana is considered very
unsate. 1t looks as if Hendricks will
carry Indiana, unless strong exertlons
