The fathers of the Society of Jesus,

The fathers of the Society of Jesus,
who were forced by the Jesuit law to
leave Germany, have in part found a
new home in the county Of Lancashire,
in England. After they had wandered
through France, Belgium and England,
the brothers Stapleton placed an estate
at their disposal, and the fathers at
once established a convent at Dillon
Hall. Nearly one hundred German
teachers and students do there as II
they were at home. Other colonies OF
German Jesilits have established them
selves at Stonyhurst and at St. Bnenos,
in North Wales. There is daily COM
m,1nication with Germany.

activity in this article the past week IN
consequence Of the increase OF the
supply, and prices have ruled very
firm, but have received no important
change worthy of special mention.
For several weeks past there was a
gradual decrease in the receipts, and
the exports being larger than the re-
ceipts, the stock was slowly decreased
until it reached a fraction lower than
has been noted for several seasons. At
this point sellers refused to comply
with the market rates, and put the
market up to So 55, at which figure it

"a =
BOARD OF SupERvIsons.-The Board Of Super
visors for Augusta county will meet in Staunten
on Friday the Sd Of January, (to-morrow) for
the purpose Of completing the county levy, and
for other matters.
We take this occasion to state it as our belief
that the people of the whole county are greatly
indebted TO the Board of Supervisors, for the ad-
mirable manner in which they have managed the
business entrusted to them. They have shown
on unusual amount of good common sense IN their
administration, and exercised q systematic Judg-
ment and deliberation rarely equalled, In pro-
tecting the Treasury of the county and economl-
zing the public expenditures Of the people. The
exhibit they made last month of the affairs OF the
Poor House goes to show that it has become self
sust aiming, instead of being a charge upon the
county. From Mr.. Geo. W. Fauber's report, the
e1icient superintendent of the Poor House, it is
shown that the gross products of the farm and
sale of stock amounted to $l,65O, and that the
amount expended for the year 1872, including
salary of superintendent and all other expenses,
was 81, 696. 98-or an excess Of expenses over
income of only $46.98. There is now IN the gu
perintendent's hands in favor of the county, 81,
557 48, or within fraction Of the amount of ex-
penses for the year 1872, and sufficient for the
year 1873, independent of the farm products for
this year. The average number of paupers car
ed for during the year was a, at daily cost for
each pauper of ten and half cents.
This is certainly very gratifying exhibit for
the tax payers, and an evidence of thesscare and
watchfulness of the public officers directly and
indirectly connected with the institution.
