THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
They will open again Tomorrow, Octo-
har

Many Of our school teachers and pupils will be
taken by surprise when they learn that the pub
Lilo schools are to be reopened on Monday morn
ing, for They, as well as ourselves, had been led
70 believe that tie tremendous task OF selectin q
the teachers would not be completed In time to
open before Monday. the 9th OF November. Else
where will be found the official notice Of Chief
superintendent Rogers, summoning the teachers
and pupils TO their posts on Monday.
We take this occasion to congratulate both on
the event, because the former will receive fifteen
days more pay by the advancement, and the lat
ter Is many more days Of instruction. We ap-
pend some OF the proceedings of the meeting OF
the board on Wednesday last, which we think
win be found interesting by our teachers, a. fol-
lowe:
Resolued, That the committee on teachers be
authorized to select q corps of supernumerary
teachers from such OF the teachers and candi-
dates for teacherships as have.passed in the re-
cent examination. and who have not yet been
elected TO positions in the public schools.
Be II ftrtier resotced, That all candidates who
may successfully pass the approaching COM
p0titive examination shall enjoy the same ad-
vAntages as those mentioned in the foregoing reg
OiutlOn.
On motion, 1t was alss resolved that all the
public schools be re-opened.on Monday, the 22d
second Of October.

Extrayagant and Whee,ing stranxers

UNI SsHtclHS SGrHnSeFSs
Four gentlemen, Chas. O. Phillips, James
Burke, VIM. Perry and Joseph Anderson, VINO
had evidently made up their minds that they
would not be able to stand the severe winter OF
the North, arrived here yesterday with the evil
dent intention of backing in our Soul hern sun.
Forum ately for the community, Bank Detective
W. J. Farrell became aware of their arrival and
knowing the characters Of this quartette, was sat-
isfied that the Crescent City cauld survive the
loss Of such traveller, and Immediately reported
the facts to Chief of Police Boylau, who gave i'm
mediate instructions to Chief of Detectives Ma
lone to send out the aids and bring the worthless
to Jail.
But short time had elapsed when the four
strangers were in the Central Station, face to
face wi b the Chief.
The Chief told them that New Orleans was too
small for them, and that they had better migrate
to some other than the Pelican State.
The Chief impressed them with the fact that
as they we're to depart from our midst in such
short while, that they had better leave some
token by which the community could remember
them, and suggested that they leave their mugs
on pasteboard. To this they objected, but were
finally pur suaded.
= After the photo yrapher mad finished with them
the Chief gave them until this evening to leave
the ty, and of disobedience tin cup,
blanket and cell No in the yard for thirty DAYS,
Not liking the inducements offered them they
concluded to sesk more coDgenial cline.

THE NEW CANAL,
And n Few More Notes Concerning the
RayOu St John

DayOu 81. JVuus
The Mayor now proposes to inquire into the
affairs OF the New canal in order to ascertain
whether the lessees have complied with the terms
OF their contia act or not.
Let us return once more to the Oarondelet
Canal and Navigation Company. We find among
the sums paid for the drainage Of the city, an
item OF $l3 6l7 for toulouse street." Upon in
vestigAtion We discover that still owing to the
insufficient drainage of the first drainage Sec
ton, canal, ten fifteen feet wide and ten feet
deep, had to be dug along Toulouse street. west OF
claiborne street, and running parallel and within
. few feet OF Canal Carondelet; this, We remember
well, became an absolute necessity after the
closing of the Canal street canal. Without
charging the Carondelet Company with all the re-
ap0nsibiiity in the matter, We nevertheless find
them going into court and compelling the city to
bridge the canal or sewer In its entire length be-
cause, % they claimed, the existence of an I'm.
covered sewer on Toulouse street interfered with
their landings. How much OF the $1S,617 was
expended In complying with their demands can
heestimated when it is said that the sewer ex-
fends from Claiborne street to Galvez.

burglars numbering.

For some months past, owing TO the vigilance
OF the police, this city has been free from bur-
glaries, but at an early hour saturday night the
knights OF the jimmy succeeded in effscting an
entrance into the residence OF Mr.. J. Newman,
No. 48 Prytania street, and succeeded in stealing
an carrying away q lot of jewelry.
1t is evident that DR.. Newman's house was not
the only house that the thieves had raided, for in
their flight from the gentleman's house In ques-
ton, they left gold headed cane on the head of
which was engraved: "Dr. J. l.. @. from J. &. z -
One Of the thieves also dropped his hat which
was soft felt.
The police took charge Of the hat and cane, as
these articles may assist IN bringing the guilty
ones to justice.
The entrance into Mr.. Newmans house was
effected by breaking pane Of glass, which gave
them the opportunity Of unbolting the front
door.
