from the Woodstowl i Reg ster.

During the five months or more that
VIM. f. Robinson has been principal OF
our public school, he has made hosts OF
friends in WoodstoWn,a and when it was
announced that he had accepted the
priuclpalship of the 81 ward school in
Bridgeton, and would at once leave,
there were many regrets expr' ssed.
He was elected TO the new position
over half a dozen worthy and accom-.
pIished competitors, so that his popu.
larity is not local. Not only will friend
Robinson be- missed by his devoted stu
deuts here, but rs worker in the
Literary Society and Shakespeare Club
he endeared himself to our most cul'
tured young people. May good fortune
aud broadening field of usefulness be
ever his. More than any other teachers
has his graceful pen contributed to the
Educational Department of this paper,
(of which column he was editor)
Mr. II, biuson is a native of Whining
ton, and is we'll known to numerous
persons in this city. We are glad to
hear of his success and the upward
progress ha il making in the cause OF
education in his adopted State of Jer

closing up or lessening the discharge
from the Mississippi river through the

mouth of Red river, and predicted If
this be not done that the whole volume
of the Mississippi will IN time take hat
route to the sta. Being aeked what
would prevent such disastrous over
flows ~ y e pres"n are, he said that
"if the gaps in the levees were repaired,
whi h could be duna at an exp, nse OF

would not occur, and the 10" water
navigation of the Mississippi from Cairo
