The male teachers at that time were three,
Mr.. A. Wulf, lst teacher, taught Danish read
ing. Bible history, catechism, the book Of
Christian doctrine Lerebog. Mr.. Wilhelm
Tideman, End teacher, taught writing and
arithmetic, also geography. Mr., j. StridirO ron.
Ord teacher, taught..English reading, grammar,
spelling, dictation.
In l843 Mr.. Tideman went to Copenhagen
to be ordained Pastor, and his place was filed
by Mr.. 81. de Silva. Mr.. Wulf left also, to
fill the place of Clerk in the Lutheran Church
of St. Thomas, and Mr.. Feilberg took his
place; and some time after he also went
to Copenhagen to be ordained Pastor. I
had almost forgotten to mention Mrs. Dldrlch-
sen, who taught sewing, fancy work, embroid-
ery &C., also Danish to those who entered the
school until they were fit to enter Mr.. Wulf's
class. When the school WAS brought down
to be held in the same building Mr.. Wulf
had the supervision Of the Lancasterian School.
Up to that period it had but one teacher. AT
forwards a Danish one to teach the rudiments
Of the language, and q female teacher, who
taught sewing &c. The Burgher School was,
until 1916, an entirely gratis school. The only
books a scholar had to buy were spelling books
and the other books (Danish), those which in
the beginning Of this account | mentioned. In
the earlier history Of the school, painting and
drawing were taught, however that branch fell
off. But in after time it was again introduce
ed along with vocal music.

its centre far out in the Atlantic, Included
Santa Cruz in its sphere of influence" The
barometer fell about two-tenths of an inch,
the wind veered from N. E.. through N. w.
and S. to East, and some much needed rain fell.
AT Frederiksted the westerly wind raised a
heavy sea, which. however, with the further
change of wind, has abated. The fall of

A Supper Given to tho business Mon, at
which tho Project Is Discussed.
Last Monday cards were sent out to a
number OF prominent business men Of
this city by the Young Mems Christian
Association, to social supper held
for the purpose Of discussing the en-
largement Of the building. The invita-
ton was accepted by a good number,
who were received last night by the
committee in charge, Messrs. J. N.
Vance, w. B. Simpson, ]. ]. Jones, J..
Elwood Hughes, Myron Hubbard, ST.,
John L, Dickey and Alfred PAUL, and
escorted to the reading room on the Sec
ond floor, where tempting supper,
consisting Of several courses, was wait
ing to be discussed. An hour was
pleasantly spent in doing justice to the
fare. 1t was prepared by committee
Of tho Ladies' Auxiliary, consisting Of
Mrs. ]. N. Vance, Mrs. J. ]. Jones, Mrs.
Judge PAUL., Mrs. A. ]. Clarke, Mrs. l.
]. Bayha, Mrs. ]. O. Lynch, Miss Laura
Lawson and Miss Lizzie Lawson.
Thesubiect for discussion was brought
up by Mr.. J. N. Vance, and a number Of
short speeches were made. Mr.. ]. FL
weod Hughes gave brief explanation
Of tho plans Of tho new building. Mr..
Alfred PAUL. dwelt on tho advantages to
DO gained by the enlargement of tho
building. Mr.. W. A. List, chairman OF
the young mems committee, referred to
tho great interest the young men had
taken in the project, aud the excellent
result OF the meeting held November go
when the young men showed their
liberal spirit by subscribing $780,
Since then this has been increased to
Sl,700, and not over ono-half the young
men have been seen. Tho expectation
is now that 5000 will DO raised among
them, nearly onc-third Of the total sum
required. Mr.. N. B. Scott also spoke Of
the desirability OF cooperation OF all
buFiness men with these young men,
Hon. George W. Atkinson closed, speak.
ing Of the necessities Of tho improve
ment.
At no time was any effort made to
raise subscriptions. Tho board will
visit all tho business men next week
Tor that purpose, as the desire OF tho
members Of the association is to begin
the erection Of the new building early
in tho spring.

The county board OF canyasHers re-
convened yesterday morning after a
weeks vacation, to take up the matter
Of the recount Of yotea cast for the leg
islatiye ticket where 1t was left of. The
special purpose Of the session yestor-
day was to examine tho bills Of excep-
tions taken to the action OF the board
by the counsel for s. g.: Smith and NJ.
]. o'Kane. Mr.. W. P. Hubbard, repre-
senting Mr.. Smith, and Mr.. H. N. Rus
sell, representing Mr.. o'Kane'' we're
present, and both presented their bills
of exceptions These we're read and
compared with the record The Demo-
Gratis had 6led more exceptions, but
which will hold best in the long run
can only be conjectured.
There was some dispute as to the ac-
curracy OF Mr.. Hubbard's statement as
to the first ballot reached, that being in
precinct 9 Of Richie district, and Mr..
McGregor moved that the sealed pack
age containing that ballot be opened
and the ticket examined.
This motion was adopted and Clerk
Pendleton started to got the bag Of
ballots.
He was recalled, however, and it was
concluded to wait until the exceptions,
nearly 500 in all, had been examined
and compared before opening any OF the
packages. This work went on, and q
tedious and uninteresting process it
was, too, for several hours, the board in
the meantime taking u recess for dinner,
while the lawyers and Clerk Pendleton
went on with the examination. :,
Mr.. Hubbard requested that all
ballots in question should be taken
from the sacks and made q part OF the
bill of exceptions.
This some OF the members thought it
was not in their province to do, and
Prosecuting Attorney Howard's opinion
was requested aud given, with the re-
suit that on motion OF DR.. Bates the
board refused to allow any OF the bal
lots to leave their custody.
Then the question came up how bal
lots could be described or exhibited so
ms TO give the circuit court an idea OF
their exact character. The futility OF
attempting to describe them was at
once seen. There was talk of photo
graphing each. but this did not win
much favor.
Finally it was decided to have 500
ballots printed, like tho ballots which
were voted. When a ballot excepted
to is counted, one OF tho new printed
ballots will be marked or scratched so
as to be as nearly afac smile as possible
OF the one in question. When this
cannot we'll be done photographs may
be necessary.
After arriving at this arrangement
the board, about p. M, adjourned till
Thursday next, to give time to have the
necessary ballots printed.
