The Question as to who was the drowned man was then revived. The proofs were, in the minds of most people,- clearly brought out at last. Wil liam Turner had left behind him at Ouildford a fragment of a handkerchief: this fragment being found to correspond with the article removed from the neck of the drowned man.

Th teachers brought new thoughts to th Capital and the Capital, we doubt not, gave new thoughts to the teachers. The sessions here proved a clearing house of value in ideas. It is to be noted also that in Raleigh there has gathered the largest number of teach ers under the present system of the Assembly.
