Bows Will Be Bows.

So thought the occupants Of a Boston
horse car, who listened to the story Of a
mischievous young lad, who was telling
an old gentleman why he liked the new
master of one of our schools. The mas
ter, he said, was a first-rate fellow, and
then he had dismissed the scholars twice
lately at $50 o'clock in the morning.
"Why, what did he do that for % asked
the elderly gentleman. After the youth
had had a good laugh, he managed to
explain that one of the boys had put a
piece Of ice under the thermometer and
sent the mercury down to forty, and the
master thought the room was not warm
enough for the pupils to remain in. And
the way the old gentleman laughed and
shook told plainly enough that he had
once been one of that kind of boys.

TRANSMISSION of Blood.

The Pittsburgh Chronicle gives the
following account of an operation per-
formed in the Western Pennsylvania
Hospital "It was the transmission of
blood from sheep to a consumptive pa
tient in the last stages of the disease.
Just previous to performing the opera
ton the patients pulse was 108, and he
looked much emaciated and exhausted.
The sheep was brought in and laid upon
table, the patient being placed in posi-
ton close by. The carotid artery of the
animal was then cut, and silver tubA
with small stop-cocks placed in the lie
cision. The basilic vein was then cut in
the mans arm, and then the connection
made from him to the sheep through the
medium of the tube. The blood was
next turned on, and the operation COM
menced. The TRANSMISSION was concluded
in short time, when the man showed
the benefit of the new blood by re-
newed vitality, and a ruddy, healthy
countenance, his pulse then beating IS.
The carotid artery of the sheep was
again tied and the animal let loose. The
patient appeared much improved both in
health and strength.

and vigiIant. These passages were real and
earnest-no sham about then-the terms s.un-

with much freedom and frequency. Beechers
counsel all have the appearance of men who
make serious inroads on their health in the
night time in laboring at the various branches
Of the defense allotted to EACH Shearman and
Tracy, the latter especially, looked worn and
sickly.
FIFTY-sIXTK DAY.-The examination of
Bessie Turner was brought to a close.
She was entrapped several times in
to admissions that would overturn some
portion of her previous testimony. George L.
Perkins was called to contradict Mrs. Meulton's
testimony as to Beechers confession Of adul-
terry. He swore that he had met Beecher in
Connecticut ON the day that Mrs. Moulton al
legged he had visited her house and confessed
his guilt.
FIFTY-sEvENTH DAY.-Three colored persons
prove that Tilton was familiar visitor of Wood
hull long after April, 1872-the period at which
he swore he broke off with Woodruff. It was
sworn that he instigated the publication of the
scandal; that he was in the habit of visiting the
house occupied by the Woodruff family, where
he did considerable writing.

declaration of determination to commit suicide
to her on June g. 1873. Several witnesses swore
positively that Beecher was not in Brooklyn on

Report Of the superintendent
Of Public Schools for the
Year Ending June 2J, 1875.

Hear EhOlnS juno 20, 1870
In addition to the statistical re-
port herewith presented, / have
the honor, in accordance with your
regulations, to present certain OBJ
servations and suggestions in refer
ence to the condition and wants Of
the schools.
According to the statistical re-
port it will be seen, that, besides
your Superintendent, there have
been employed eight teachers for
200 days and one for IT'S. Very
little time has been lost by teachers
for sickness or for any other cause,
and in almost every case Of alb
sence, the vacancy has been i'm
mediately supplied, either by my
self or by some of the older pupils.
The latter arrangement of supply
ing any temporary vacancy by the
appointment of an older pupil from
one Of the higher grades is some
times very satisfactory. AS it is q
very difficult place to Gil, it is liable
to result more beneficially to the
teacher, however, than to the school.
The total amount of salary paid
to all teachers was s5,55l.05, or
s9.0s per scholar; and as the
average attendance was 126 days,
this would make the tuition 7 lilo
cents a day for each scholar. This
is exclusive of incidental expenses.
The average length of time schools
are taught throughout the whole
State Is seven months, and the
amount paid for teachers wages Is
s5.9l per scholar; and at the same
ratio for ten months, II would be
Ss.44, or g. cents a year less than
is paid here. But taking into our
reckoning the expense of living,
the high percentage Of attendance
in our schools, which is considera-
bly, above average, and the fact
also that large proportion Of
teachers in the country board
around, thus diminishing on the
reports their real salary, IL would
be safe to conclude that the cost OF
tuition, about which mention has
been occasionally made, is some
what less than the average instead
of above. 1t will be seen then that
our school, though still In that
youthful period when economy Of
ten lies dormant TIL pinched by
necessity, has already settled down
in nmtteis of finance, to the level
Of the customs of the State.
