The Public schools of Albany.

Wednesday meetingof the School Dirsc-
tors Of Albany was held in this city, when
the resignation Of p A Moses as principal Of
the public schools of this city was read and
accepted. The board adjourned till ycstsr-
day afternoon at 4 o'clock, when successor
to Nr Moses was to be appointed. Two ap-
plications, at least, have been made. both Of
which are good ones. As we went to press
before that time we can not say who is our
next principal. We may depend that he is
q good one. Before our next issue school
will have been convened again, and it is to
be hoped that all OF eur citizens will unite
with the principal in making our public
schools complete success, 80 that when
those who are seeking homes here from the
east and south shall ask US about them, we
can say, eyes, we have the best schools IN
the state, we are proud of our teacher, the
progress he is making aud the standing the
school is obtaining in the community" This
is the first thing that is asked, and we should
all labor with the principal to be able to
give coed answer. The schools through
the county are in excellent conditon, and
much is due to the energy of the county
Superintendent in organizing. visiting and
Alvising, and it is the general desire of many
to see the schools of this city stand at the
head or at least on par with the best in the
county

Wednesday night there was fair atten.
dance at the Y. p. @. A. Hall at the bicycle
and skating exhibition by + I Merrill, YIN
L Warren and J Manciet, notwithstanding
the fact that IT was very inclsment night.
The fancy riding by Merrill and Warren was
nne exhibition Of what can be dsne with
those easy running machines. They did
many tricks that few bicyclists are capable OF
performing, it seeming to make little differ
sncc in what position they happened to be,
the bicycle went all the same. The skating
by Manciet attfacted considerable attention,
nearly every one present knowing how to
navigate on rollers. He is a genius at it,and
performs q variety of fancy and difficult
tricks with great ease. The entertainment
was certainly novel one. but certainly very
interesting to at least those who attended
and deserved good patronage.
The young men are all in business in Port

Essay on Tramps.

A tramp is = bundle of rags, a holy
pair OF shoes and slouch hat, with
some dirty flesh in them, It has feel
iHg bat little sensibility. Nothing agi-
tates it more than q square meal of
Victuals. It is hollow inside, and has
the capacity of an ostrich. It's morals
are the same as other animals, and It
will steal as quickly as q fox. At the
present time there are numerous ones
Of this species lurking about the city.
Last week gentleman in the western
part of the city lost several chickens.
Their festhers were found on the out
skirts near where a bonfire had been,
and several of these animals were seen
in the vicinity. They do not hesitate
to take whatever they can get their
hands on, aud are generally seen hang
Ing around houses to see when the
owner leaves. when they will make an
entrance if they can do 50 without exert
ing themselves too much, and will
make short bits and silver ware scarce.
They deserve being dealt with sumna-
rily, and eanEot be watched tso closely.
