In consequence of designations, eXpira.

Brown has had for some days five vacan,
cies in the Orleans School Board on his
hands. The many attacks which prejudice
and motives which need explanation have
caused to he made, have made his task
| somewhat difficult. The following gentle.
men have accepted the appointments ten.
dered them: Messrs Rufus NAPLES, Ed
ward Heath and l.. II. Gardner. They are
strong enough themselves, in intelligence
and ability, without the aid theywill re.
ceive from their more experienced associ.
ates, to make our board an efficient entire
ment for the elevation of the people.
On tie occurrence of the fret vacancy,
Mr.. Brown endeavored TO secure the ser.
vices of Hon /. n. Marks. The office is,
under any circumstances, a thankless une.
Without emulument, with no rules to gov
ern the conduct in particular casee, no
guide except individual judgment, and
with innumerable cases continually pre-
senting themselves and reappearing under
different circumstances for decision, the i'm
possibility ot unanimous conclusion is a
sine Qma nor of the embarrassment. No
vote in a body of this kind has ever given
satisfaction to everybody since Howard
College was founded in 1910. OF course q
business mau like Mr.. Marks was reluctant
to accept such a trust for reasons that are
apparent to any one who considers the
cares that already burden him. But after
repeated solicitation he has consented and
accepted the appointment. His acceptance
leaves only one vacancy. that Of Mr.. Me-
Carthy, to be filled.
