putcd by the pupils of the College to

beloved Proprietress of the College

Bishop Galloway, on the part of the
Board of Trustees, announced that
the Board was highly gratiticd ut the
success of the College for the past two

late lamented President had threaten
ed tn be fatal blow, the new Presl-
dent and his administration by their
ability and zeal had relssured the
doubling ones and that the future Of
the College was never brighter OF
more hopeful than at present. There
would be some changes i'll the present
faculty, and the boarding department.
Oh Mrs. Kidd's departure, would be
under the immediate supervision OF
the President and his wife, but all
these changes had been amicably eff
tected and with a view to the best
interests of the College and all con
cerncd

Eckhardt, who goes with Mrs. Kidd.
Also that every department of the
College would he manned with the
finest teaching talent money could
procure, and that though it could
justly boast of its past record, he
hoped to achieve still greater things
for it in the future:i

A GRINDING MONOPOLY.

The sugar trust recently formed
taxes the New York hotel men very
heavily, and they are complaining
with good cause of the iniquitous ex-
tortion they now have to endure. AS
an instance the Fifth Avenue Hotel is
mentioned as using 300 pounds day
and the rise already made causes an
additional expense to it of over ST.
600 year. The New York sugar
importing houses are seriously think
ing of stopping importation of raw
material for the present, until they can
find better market for it than is now
presented there. The trust absolutely
controls nearly all the refineries of
the country and entirely shuts off
competition for the raw sugar. The
consequence is that the importers are
turning away 10 other ports sugar car
goes destined for this country, thereby
losing to the custom-house a large
amout of duty. The discounts which
the trust allows purchasers are ridic-
nlously SMALL and wholesale grocers

is asserted that there are not half a
dozen firms of wholesale grocers in

upward. As to the small wholesalers,
