THE DEAF tND DUMB.

We trust that our exchanges win
copy for the benefit of the Deaf and
Dumb, the following:
Under the new Constitution, the
Legislature makes the appropriation
for the State Deaf & Dumb Institution
~biennially and the institution must
make it's expenses come within the
amount appropriated for each year.
The Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb, in order to keep its expenses
within the amount of its insufficient
appropriation, cannot receive all the
Deaf and Dumb children who expect
to enter. - AS discrimination must be
made, the Board will give preference
to those who enter first; and during
the term will give the preference to
those who are making progress in
their studies. They will be compell-
ed to thus discriminate. 1t is sad to
think that for want of a sniff
Gent appropriation, very many chill
dren who ought 10 be in the Institu-
ton, will be deprived of its benefits.
Pupils must be not less than nine nor
more than twenty-one years of ago.
The next session opens September 26,
1877. Persons desiring to send chill
dren after the opening of the session,
would do well to write first to the
Superintendent and ascertain if they
can be received.

DEAD HEADING.
WHAT NEWSPAPERS ARE EXPECTED TO
DO o NOTHING.

There is no other business on which
the public levies such heavy eeHtri4
buttons us the newspaper publishing
business. An organization is getting
up some kind of festivities, for ex-
ample. 1t pays for the use of grounds,
pays for music, pays for refreshments,
gets 81 worth of tickets and Cd worth
Of bills printed either at a newspaper
office or somewhere else, and then
expects free advertising from the PSI
per to an extent actually worth from
81 or So to $40. The mere announce
ment of a picnic, sociable, festival, is
an advertisement, and ought to be
paid for. The result is that a gener-
Gus proportion of the profits of near
ly all entertainments of this kind Is
money which rightfully belongs to
newspaper publishers. Then, after
the thing is over, the managers will
come in with a long string of resolu-
tons, with which to rob the publisher
of more valuable space. The truth
is, that space in a Newspaper repre-
sents money. 1t is worth money to
the publisher. There is no more
reason why he should give il
away than why a merchant should
give away his goods. Part of the
space 10 sold to business men for adj
vertising purposes; the rest of the
space is devoted to interesting read.

er depends for the attractions which
shall sell his paper. Either space
represents cash to him. Yet a bust
ness man who buys space to the
amount of 81 often buys d gratuity Of
space to the amount of 81 or So, OF
even more. The managers of festi.
walls, picnics or other home entertain.
ments may not buy one cents worth
of space, but all the same expect the
free gift of several dollars worth Of
space. The minister, who never adj.
vertises, may want space to the
amount of a dollar or two weekly fol-

The politician, even though he for

demands column after column of val.
liable space free, and rarely SO much
as says thank you for it. For al
this newspaper men, taxed beyond
any other business men, enjoy the
high distinction of being regarded as
a dead-head by two thirds of his
neighbors.

ANTIG A.
(FTsm As Antigua TGmss.)

On the first Of this month thsre vas sold at
The office of the local Commissioners for sale
OF lncumbered Estates. in Antigua, tbs estate
named Bale VKe or Stony Hill lately the
property of Griffin H. BAscom ESQ, deceased
containing about 527 acres of land. q great
portion of which is in cane cultivation and
estimated to produce for this year q crop of
sugar equal to nearly 200 hhds. There is an
excellent Windmill, Sugar Works aud other
buildings upon the property all in good oondt-
ton also many head of oxen, mules, Sc.
The situation is central.
After a spirited contest between the bidders
the estate was knocked down to Antonio
Joseph COmache Esq, Of the we'll known
Mercantile arm Of A. J. Comache & Co. of
this oily, for E 1850. 1t is worthy of note
that Mr.. Comache, who is a native Of Madeira,
H. We believe, the first of bis countrymen to
invest IL q sugar estate in Antigua. The
successful bidder was however followed close.
" In the bjddings for the property referred to,
Dy = countrymA OF lis own, which leads TO
the conclusion that the Portuguese are about to
take advantage Of the cheapness of properly
here, and for tbs purpose of improvement 10
invest therein. This is 8 good sign Of the
times.
The weather has been favourable both to
the reAping and growth of the sugar cane.
Sugar making has commenced on many es.
tAtSs, which Is about a month earlier than
usual. The ripe canes are not in many places
very bulky and therefore the return per acre
Is not likely to be beyond the average. The
quality of the cane juice at the present time is
said to be satisfactory, what is desired is more
OF it from every acre of canes. At present the
planters have not any great cause to complain
Of anything opposed to agricultural int erests,
nor the current market value Of the produce
Of the land.
We are Informed that The Ponds throughout
the country are again getting very low. in
some places nearly empty. Although there
has been many showers of late, they have been
too light to Affect the P0nds-as yet there has
been no Pond Rain this year. The Rain
fall to date from lst January at the Public
Library amounts to A.03 inches.
