"THE HOWARD SCHOOL. THE expediency
oil the Board OF Education taking charge OF the
Howard School and providing for the sduca-
ton OF the colored children Of this city, will be
discussed at the meeting Of tbs Board on the
22nd Inst. The chief objection to The PROPOSE.
ton arises from the provision in the charter,
combining thsir duties to white children. 1t 10
commended, however, that the provision Is UNI
constitutional, and consequently not binding
The members however must Judge of this for
themselves. A few years ago tho question was
discussed, when 10 was decided by q large ma
jority to closely adhere 10 the provisions Of the
charter, and leave colored parents pay for the
education of their children or trust to the char
ity Of the public. The Legislature has steadily
refused to permit taxation for the benefit Of this
portion Of our community, and the friends Of
education consider the matter so grievous that
it should not be submitted to any longer. The
proprety oil Educating all children, whether
white or block, cannot be denied bat in the
absence ofLegislative authority 1t is rather diff
ficult to determine the better course to pursue.
The Board may, however, sever the Gordian
knot, and do what ought to lie done without
regard 10 such Legislative enactment as contra
travenes the highest authority In the land. Tbs
debate on the question will doubtless he inter-
esting, as II will call out the best talent In the
Board.

EooNoMy.-From present apPsarsnoea
greater economy Is necessary In the manage
nenl Of the Wilmington and Western Railroad,
IN order to make the receipts equal the expeii-
ditures. Certain officers will have to be dis
pensed with, aud one man taught to do the
work oftwo or three, III order to make II pay.
At the same time oil agents or employees
should strive to increase the trade and travel
and not contribute by word or deed to drive
either away. Large corporations may be indie
pendent, but small ones cannot afford to treat q
single patron with indifference. The Direc-
tors are doubtless contemplating the conversion
Of two Or three Offices into one, and some
changes may probably take place at an early
day.

"A correspondent Of the Oxford Press In

A case OF Matching chickens by rather novel
artificial procsss recently occurred In Chester
county. A hen belonging to Isaac Norris, Of
Birmingham township, made nest and laid
GONE Gags on pile Of manure. They were &C
cdenlally covered up to the depth ofabout two
feet, and tho warmth Of the manure In the
course of time caussd them TO hatch. The cries
OF the chickens attracted tns attention VI the
family, who took them out and placed them II
the charge OF nothsrly lien, whe Is rearing
them up, and Ia quite proud Of her adopted
family.
Tbs friends Of Vice President Wilson, say

ton that his continued convalescsncs entities
him TO hope for . compiats restoration TO health
His attack was both sharp and ssvevs, and b

sxpraDively painful. By immediate psdica
care, however, and with ths basis Of fns cor
stitutional visor to enable him 70 resist the ap
proaches Of disease, he soon began to recover
and now presents evsry promise Of not only
long continued life, but one Of sorving tn
purpose which before his illness he had conten

THE LANGUAoEs.-At the meeting Of the
Board Of Public Education on Monday evening,
Mr. Jenkins moved to take up the resolution
providing tor the teaching Of Latin and Ger
man In the public schools, but ~ The suggestion
of Mr.. McIntlrs. 1t was laid ever until the next
meeting of the Board, so that every member
usy BE- present, and the expression Of opinion be
full and fair. There is evidently gu increase Of
sentiment in favor Of higher grade Of education
In. the public schools, and we incline to the
opinion that the resolution will pass.
The idea was advanced by Mr.. Jenkins that
by teaching the above languages pupils could
be prepared To enter Delaware College, and re-
ceive instruction without charge, as there were
sixty.three scholarships provided by Legislative,
enactment, and Wilmington was entitled to at
least ono fourth of them. IL the hope Of seciir-
Ing such scholarship would influence all the pu-
pills to labor faithfully, great deal Of good
would result, and those who have objected to
tie introduction Of the study Of the language,
on account Of the increased cost, would doubt
les be constrained to change their opinions
Roys who wish TO study law, msdleiae or d.
vinity, Or engage In teaching may study the lau-
gusges with profit, but those who expect to be.
come mechanics or merchants cannot derive
any great degree Of profit from them.

HEAVY SENTENcE.-Ths Bank Of England
forgors havo had their trial and sentence. It
appears that one Of them, George Bidwel! alter
the examination of witnesses, delivered an ad
dress TO the Court, In which he exonerated
Austin Bidwelland Edwin Noyes from all COM
plicity In the frauds, and declared that he and
George mcdonnell were the only guilty ones
mcdonnell also addressed the Court, bearing
out the statement Of Bidwell. The case was
then given TO the jury, who, after ~ minutes
elaboration, found all the accused guilty. Mr..
Justice Archibald Immediately sentenced each
of the prisoners to penal servitude for lifs-the
highest punishment under the laws for their
off,ncs.

News has been received at New Bedford Of
the loss of two whaling barks In Hudson Bay
On September IA, 1872, the bark Orray Taft
was driven ashore on Marble Island, and on
October 9th following, the Ansol Gibbs was to-
tally wrecked at the same place. The crews
Of both vessels escaped, but were compelled to
live on the island until the I'd Of August last,
and fourteen of their number persisted from
exposure. The winter was "fearfully cold,
natives Of the island died by scores"

startedor at least were advertised to do so from
Brooklyn, N. T., on Wednesday, in the great

voyage to Europe. They carried with them

and oars; also paper canoe, IA feet long, 3 feet
2 inches wide These boats will contain pro-
visions for thirty days, and will be used in casa
any accident should happen to the balloon. We
hope the adventure may 10 successful, but we
cannot see that any practical or real benefit is
likely to result from 1t. Navigating the air
proftably cannot be accomplished, II Is one Of
the impossibilties, although this and other trips
