Dnrino the course of the year the following
chances have taken place in the staff Of
teachers. From the 1st Of January Mr.. P. Il.
pa,l formerly a teacher in Dominica, was
annointed as teacher at Two Williams school,
in the place Of teacher Brown, dismissed at
Tho end Of 1856. From the LIST of March
Miss Adolphsen, on her petitionto that effect,
was allowed to resign her post as teacher III
tbn Frederiksted Free School, and the yacan-
cv films created has been filed by the pro-
y%isional appointment Of Miss Sill, a full APP
nointment to the post having, with the con-
sent Of the Government, been postponed,
The instructionm Danish lnthe fredorlkSted

- Nieo Grandiean. as teacher by the hour.
From the 1st Of August Mrs. Lorentz was
discharged from her post as teacher OF DANISH
IN the Christiansted Free School, on account
Of sickness. which for more than a year had
prevented her from personally fulfilling her
dnties in her place Mr.. Pr9torius has been
Amounted as teacher of Danish for the boys
classes. and Miss JUL. who also teaches
neodlework in the school, forthe girls classes.
FINALLY Miss Steyensenand Mrs. Ovesen have
been anpointed, during the course OF the year,
oe sowino teachers at Two Williams and La
Princesse schools respectively.
AS is shown by the foregoing table, not
only the total number of pupils, but also
their distribution among the several schools,
is about the same as in the previous year.
On the other hand, inregardto the attendance,
SO far as most Of the country schools are
concerned. there has been a falling off, which,
though not great and in part ascrlbable IN
the schools of the Western district to the
prevalence of sickness in that district during
the latter months of the year, is yet SUFFICIENT
to show the necessity Of steady attention to
that point on the part of all concerned 1t
would appear that the assistance given by
the school messengers in finding out the true
causes of the absence of the children has led
some of the teachers to neglect making IN
ouiries themselves and to accept too readily
every report of sickness as true. Among the
legitimate causes Of absence, sores on the feet
occupy a conspicuous place. There's no doubt
that in many cases neglect on the part OF the
parents. coupled with the difficulty OF obtain
mo medical advice, causes what at hrstls

ton, held in the month of May, showed q
tolerably satisfactory result of the years
work, although it must be acknowledged
that the standpoint attain ed by most OF the
pupils at their leaving the school is too low. On
the 1st June Mr.. F. B. G.. Moore opened
a boys school in Frederiksted, which obtained
from the 1st of September a grant OF $500
annually, IN accordance with the same pro-
visions of the School Ordinance under
which Mr.. Stewards school is subsi-
dised. There is reason to hope that this
school will meet the want which led to it's
establishment, namely of a school in Frede-
rlksted suited to impart higher instruction
than what is afforded by the Free School.
With regard to Orange Grove school the
Board has seen with regret that the hope
expressed IN It's Report for 1856, that the
new manager OF the school would succeed in
hndlng remedies for its many and great de-
tectS has not been fulfilled. 1t seems that
nothing except compulsion can induce the
parents IN this district to send their children
to school with sufficient regularity to prevent
all efforts to instruct them from being merely
lost labour. st. PatIick's School in Frederik-
sted, which during the last month of the year
had been closed on account of repairs to the
school building, seems, so far as the girls
school is concerned, to have made some pro.
gress since the last report.
The remainder of the above mentioned
private schools, with exception of Miss
Georges, Miss McKenSley' land MissMiller's,
which may be mainly regarded as pre-.
p%alatory schools for the Free Schools,
give instruction to children of the better
situated classes.

A Rich Placer Strike.

A week ago yestesday County Com
missioner K. ID. Kennedy wrote to his
wife that twenty foot streak Of pay
dirt had been struck by couple Of his
neighbors and that it was yielding from
ten cents to a dollar per pan. The find
is just over the line from his claim and
the working points not over twenty feet
from his land, with indications that the
same rich conditions exist on his side of
the line. Later advices from the said
gentleman state that the find is even
richer than at first reported, and ex-
element is running high. We congratu-
late the people of Castle creek on their
good fortune ard only hope their finds
may continue to be the richest kind

The Big Bend Weakens.

accordance with their universal custom,
withdrawn their libel suit against the

Journal in the following mention:.
The Big Bend Hydraulic Mining COM
pany's officers, finding themselves at
last forced to an issue in the supreme
court sitting in this city, in the libel
suit which they had brought against us
in the summer of 1886 for $4,000 for an
assertion that the dividends which they
were protesting to pay every month to
the amount of $4,000, had not been
earned from the property which they
profess to own, did not dare to face that
issue in the court room and thus give us
the opportunity to discuss before jury
the exact character Of these dividends
which they have been protesting to earn
and pay TO the total value of $25S 900
or an opportunity to show the entire
justice and propriety of onr exposures
and warning to the public. OF course,
this has not surprised US the least in
deed, with our knowledge Of the facts, it
would have greatly amazed us to see
these men venture to affront court and
jury upon their complaint. Unable to
secure further delay and avoid other
wise inevitable exposure, their attorneys
have been forced to discontinue the suit
of the Big Bend Hydraulic company
against A. r. Chisolm, Thomas Jordan
and the Financial and Mining Record,
and to pay the legal costs of these de-

WE think The affair of the Gus ON
House removals is calculated to
strengthen the hands of the Govern
ment. A full history OF the transaction
is published to-day for the first time.
A gross fraud upon the Government had
been perpetrated, in all probability, by
some of the Custom House clerks. 1t
was notorious already that something
was the matter with the Custom House.
The liquor trials proved that conclusively
enough if any proof were r'quired.
A thorough wedding out was needed
in any case. and this event made it absO-
lutelv necessary. Those clerks were
selected who We're thought most likely
to have been implicated in the
affair, and who from their past records
had on the whole the least in their favor.
1t is not intended to express any Opin-
ion whatever as to the merits of these
particular clerks. They may be en-
tirely innocent of any completely in the
matter charged. But the Government
had to act, and We do not see what else
it could have done, than It has done.

Perils Of the Toilet.

/ Pretty little Miss Helen Forster, a
fascinating belle of the Twenty-third
ward, Philadelphia, won't wear her
dresses cut decollete at the social gath
erings of her set for awhile, as she is
obliged, through a singular and painful
though not serious accident, to wear
just now linen cloths spread with cold
cream on her fair back and shoulders.
Miss Helen was In the midst of her
toilet on a recent evening, preparatory
to making herself particularly attractive
to expected company. She was en-
gagged in the feminine occupation Of en-
HANGING her charms by curling into tiny
ringlets the locks of blonde hair that
nature had placed on the nape of her
neck.
To do this nicely she used-as they
say thousands of other girls do, but may
stop doing so after they hear of the ac-
cident that befell Miss Helena long,
ordinary slate pencil, heated in the gas
fame to such degree that it almost
singed her golden locks as she wrapped
them around it.
At the very moment of performing
this, to her, necessary function In her
toilet, Miss Helen was only lightly
clad. She had got along in a satisfac-
tory manner with one bunch of stray
locks and was proceeding in the friz-
zing when, horrible to relate, the red
hot pencil slipped from her fingers
down her back! It had gone into the
opening between her single garment
and her lily white skin. She screamed
a cry of pain and uttered calls for help
that would have alarmed the neighbOr-
hood if the windows had been raised,
for the hot frizzer was "frizzling" her
back into blisters.
She twisted and squirmed in the hope
that the hot pencil would find its way
to the floor, but it was stayed in its
course and made her flesh culver as it
burned
Her pltifuI screams reached the ears
of her parents, and her father was the
first to burst into her boudoir 1t
frightened him to see the agony his
Helen was in and puzzled him, too. His
first thought was, "it's a burglar" for
Miss Helen was leaning hard against
the closet door, pressing back upon it
with all her might.
Is it a thief, Helen? ?"
MOI no! Oh! oh! Run and fetch
mOther!"
By the time Gather" had returned
with mother, who had tainted dead

the pencil had cooled off considerably. !
were in order, and upon
close examination it was found that
Miss Helen's fair back had been scared |
into rows Of red, ugly looking blisters
from her shoulders to her waist, as
though she had been gridironed by
the red hot frizzing pencil as it rolled !

Poor Miss Helen suffered intense !
pain till her back was smeared with a !

but she was obliged to excuse herself |
Just this once to her caller and pass

Farm GEortqares-

1t VIII be seen by a little addition
that this report covers $50 counties,
scattered over nine states. Averaging
them all together it would probably
appear that a third of the farms of
these nine states are mortgaged.
