Tuesday. as the wife and daughter Of Mr.. j..
their residence, they vera startled by the
report of gun and the crash of bullet
through the window near their heads. The
ball struck the wall opposite. and fell to the
floor. An investigation showed that boy
in the neighborhood, armed with a small
rife. was engaged in firing at cats. with
such careless aim that the ielines were saier
than the neighbors round about. The
saair caused quite a sensation. and will no
doubt interfere with the pleasures Of the
juvenile cat-spOrtsmen.

The CRY ScHooLs.-THE FoRTNIGaTLr
TEACHERS MEErING.-Eyery other Saturday
Superintendent A!ger calls the teachers Of
the public schools together at the High
School building Last Saturday forenoon,
from twenty-five to thirty teachers-all
young ladies but two-so assembled. Mr.
Alger sat at the desk and gave the teachers
some useful suggestions as to their work,
enjoining especial care of the health OF the
scholars commencing, as containing many
useful hints, Gen. John W. Phelps book on
good behavior and making divers routine
announcements.
A class of a dozen children, from to 10
years old, from the Pine Street Primary
School, was then introduced, with their
teacher. Miss Eva Sallies. and went through
recitation in numbers, followed by
similar class from the Murray Street School,
Mrs. Reardon, teacher. The children went
through their simple processes of addition
and satisfaction exceedingly well. AT the
close, a critic, appointed from the teachers
at the previous meeting, criticized the con-
duct Of the recitation by the teacher. award
ing praise as well as suggesting improve
ments. Miss Leyden, principal Of the
Grammar School. then read an exceedingly
pertinent and useful essay on composition.
A discussion on the marking system, fol-
lowed. opened by two teachers, and par
ticipated in by half dozen others. as well
as by Prof Pollens. Mr.. Lawrence and Mr..
Castle, old teachers who were present as
spectators. and were invited to give their
opinions. The Superintendent added his
own views on some of the points presented.
The appointments for the next teachers
meeting were announced, and the meeting
adjourned.
The teachers are 4 bright and pleasant
looking company. They expressed them
selves, as a rule. with ease, freedom and
excellent choice of language. and they gave
to an outsider the impression that the city
schools are generally in pretty good hands.

Edmunds' especial friends in this city. some
of whom, it is said, became considerably
excited. OF course Mr.. Peck, who is
truthful and respected citizen of Burling-
ton, did not undertake to say that there
were no Republicans here who approved
Mr.. Edmunds's course. He says that he
knew of nune-and this might well be the
case. We know Of few such but they
are pery few. The mass of intelligent and
reliable Republicans heresbouts unques-
tiouably were opposed to the surrender of
the position that the President of the Sen

the Constitution, in the absence of legisla-
tive provision, and accept the new plan, If

several of It's stockholders, and by them brought be-

with the loss of 900 men. The loss at Dubnk
was 8. 900 men, Every brigade and regimental com
mander was killed or wounded and, as nearly all
the officers Of the Guards are personally known at
