A man from Hastings, Mimi, en-

wagon arrived in town at an early
hour last Tuesday evening. He bore
upon his person unmistakable marks
of violence, his forehead being cOnsid-
erably bruised, aud abrasjons, more
or less severe. appearing upon other
parts of his body. He attributed his
disaster 10 an encounter with a high
wayman in which his exchequer was
depleted to the amount of about $40;
but the peculiar odor of his eXhala-
tions and the inconsistency of his sto-
ry covered our people with cloud of
uncertainty. as it were. Later returns
from Prescott, however, cleared the

in saloon Of that city where the

We are in receipt OF the annual re-
port eff the super Rtendent Of schools of
st. Paul for tho year ending June, 1880.
The teachers number nearly one hund-
drcd. The head of the system is the
superintendent, d. F. Wright, formerly
principal of the High School, of which
c. S. Campbell, formerly of Hastings
High School. is now at the head. The
course of study for tho High School,
covering four years, designed to sup
plement the eight years OF Work IN
the ward, or rather, district schools,
is very thorough and we'll chosen, and
might well be consulted in a course
for the River Falls schools. The
schools below the High School prepare
the pupils for q good third grade GER
tificste in Wisconsin. During the
term Of office of Supt. Wright's prede-
cessor tho st. Paul schools were, in
this vicinity, mentioned unfaverably,
especially when compared with these
of Minneapolis. But for the past
three years this reproach has beeD dis
appearing, until st present we believe
the schools compare fayorably with
those of other cities. Among the prin-
cipals we find those educated at Dart
moth, Cornell, MIddlebury, and Nor
wIch Military Academy and Univers-
ity, and Oberin and Antioch occur
often rs the di7nd mater OF various
grade teachers. The salaries paid are
fairly high. The pupils in school are
about She same number as in Pierce
couaty. Parochial scbsels are largely
attended.
