This age Of study and improvement.
We will not stop 10 this srfiele--si-
ready too lsDgtby--to discuss the best
method for seating Q sch0oIrosm,
the best place for the stove DC; but
would only ask for the pleasure and
conveniencs Of teachers aud pupils,
that the subject be considered and
f vorably disposed of. Also until
very receutly, our rooms have been
entirely destitute Of apparatus. We
assumed the privileges. the other d'y
Of securing two set, Of charts, which
We have placed 10 our PriGary
schools, ara which as every expert
enced teacher is aware, are indispeD-
sable to proper drill Of primary
scholars. A bill, very small will be
h,nded 10 the board, ere long which
We hope may be received By them as
among the indispensablss 10 prop
erly conducted school. Also il be-
comes necessary for the Superinten-
dent to visit, occasionally the other
sch ools-perhsps three or fur days
Of each 'ermy to examine classes aud
10 study the general interests ofthose
schools. At such times the scholars
of the highest department must either
be excused, or substitute must be
secured to take charge of the classes.
Acting under the suggestion of q
member of the Board, have taken
the liberty to call 10 such assistance
on one or two occasion, during the
last term, rather than excuse my
classes, and also as deem the latter
course the wiser, / would just sag
that if the Board approves OF the
course have taken they will OF.
course recognize the bill for extra
service" which has been handed iu,
and which We regard az iu every re-
spect appropriate.
Our next session is to open on
Monday, January 9th, at 9 o'clock q.
IN. It's hoped that Ill the pupils
expecting to be in attendance at any
time during the term will report at
their respective rooms at that hour.
The schools are regarded as being
fully organized SO that lessons may
be assigned in the morning, thst
Rotations may so on as usu!l inclu

TROUBLE WITH TuEKEY-A seTi.
Gus embrOglio 10 our relations With
the DiVsn has arisen, rs follows:
Sirkis Minasian, who has for msDy
years acted a. the resident agent in
Turkey for the sale Of DR.. J c Aver
& Co.'S medicines, driven by the iu-
crease Of his business to . necessity
for mole room, built bis warehouse
in Cobstantiuo2le several stories
higher, after having obtained the
necess1ry permit from the authorities.
The Iuans Of . neighbOriOg mosque
which ogerIocked the premises dc
u bded a large present in money,
watch was refused. They then ap
rl.eG TO the Grand Vizier, for the
enforcement ofan absolute law. which
bad been disregarded two hundred
years, requiring hin TO take dO"u
the building to eighteen feet, which
was grated. aud they commenced
the work Of demolition. MlDisiins
then applied to the American Minis
ter. Who notified the Sublime Porte
that American property could not
be thus triHed with. and that the de-
uvliiiou u ust cease. Then conuen-
eed the usual course of Mussulmsn
pIevaricatiou add promises, but DO
real redress. Finally Minister Nor
is Informed them that iftheir depre'
dauous continued, be should order
the L. S. ships OF war to enter The

roofless. A stroke from his pen
could have aid the whole city under
the sweep of American cannon, back
ed by men who are DOT sehOoled 10
the lessons OF fear. This brought
hem to their senses aud speedy re
dress. Minasiau has now arrived il
this country, to present the case to
our State Department for Indemnity
At length it is something to say

The entire enroll ment for the term,
i., We think $50 pupils. Preceding
he last month several were excused
on accou / Of sickness, some have
moved ANY,, aud few have dropped
out because Gas they explain ~ 'our
public schools sre too much crowded;
til. teachers cant do justice to 81
many &c" Of course We have not
been so much crowded as to feel dis
pose to complain. l have heard no
complaints from any of the teachers;
and a, thu same time think that the
pupils, those that have been regular
in sttendance-havc. without Oh ex-
cepiioD, made fac progress; aud We
haven't doubt but that inside Of i
tear we shall have seven;y-fve young
students 10 our schools who shall be
able TO get at least second grade
certificate from our Couoty Board of
examiners. We are quite positive
that many of them will be iutsllectu-
any large enough to teach long be-
FIRE they are physically sufficient.
Cur Board would do we'll if at the
close Of this year. they would sppoiu,

Guyandotie Wharf Boat.

1t having been circulated, some
how or other. that Mr.. VIM. f.
Dusenberry, the Wharf Master
at this place, had been, and is
dealing unfairly with the steam
ers plying The river by, and to,
this point. Mr.. Dnsenberry asks
in justice to himself that We
publish a state OF facts, which If
true, it would seem, should vim
dictate him from the charge Of
liberal conduct with the steam
boa.s using his wharf. He says
he pays large rent for the
wharfage privilege which is a
private franchise, and that his
boat is private property. That
he keeps a comfortable room Tor
the accommod atom # Passen-
gers awaiting boats tree of charge
and that the highest and only
charge lie makes against steam
boats is fifty cents for Landing
against his wharf boat. That he
m lkcs no other charges what
ever, not even for collecting
their bills. And that he there
fore thinks there is no just
/ ground for complaint on the
part of the steam boats or gen
eral public.
