All the State officers have finished
their reports and are now waiting on
their oars for the representatives of

In our notice of the death of Gen,

Of this number 88 were colored.
A plea is made in the report for en
larged facilities for the care of r hese
unfortunates, not one half of whon
in the State are being cared for in
the institution. It is now filled to its
utmost capacity.
The Board of Trustees r commend
the erectiou of buildings for the in

land appropriated to it by the last
Legislature which adjoins the Agri
cultural and Mechanical College
lands, and suggest that the said
lands could be worked to advantage
by the combined pupils and both be
instructed in agricultural arts by the
A. and M. College.
The expense of the institution per
capita is moderate compared with
other institutions.
They say an appropriation of fifty
thousand dollars a year will be re
quired to run the institution.
The terms of office of Messrs. Jas.
A. Briggs and J. M. Betts, as trus
tees, expired Jan. 1st this year. Trus

to others. The exercises begin at 9:15
a m. and c'ose -it 10:30 a m. The

fact that we hava one cf the largest
Sunday Schools in the Stat' is the
evidence of inte.-est that our mem
bers find there.

The check girls at the Valley street
bleachery in Providence, R. I., have
a serious grievance, according to the
Washington Star, against their uu
feeling employer. This grievance is
nothing less than the fact that aa an
feeling, unromantic,"soulless, misan
thropic employer has had the auda
city of putting a stop to their flirta
tions with young men across the way
by painting the windows of the rooms
in which they worked I The girls
declared they could have tolerated
any other kind of painting but one,
and with rising anger and elevated
noses they indignantly left the
premises, swearing beg pardon,
vowing never to return until again
accorded what they claim is a pre
rogative of their sex.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
James McFadden, of Ben Springs,
Cal , once captured a beautiful speci
men of a snow owl which measured
four and one half feet from tip to tip
of wing. He sold him to a jeweler,
who exhibited him in his show win
dow. Everything went well urtil one
day when the jeweler missed a tray
of watches.
A thorough search failed to reveal
where the missing watches were.
While the jeweler was excitedly hunt
ing for the timepieces he heard a
muffled ticking. Putting his ear to
the breast of the owl the ticking was
distinctly heard. In his anger the
jeweler decapitated the bird, and on
opening its stomach discovered thir
teen gold and silver watches.
Six of the watches were in an ex
cellent state of preservation, while
seven of the number were in vaiious
stages of similation. On opening
the gizzard a fourteenth watch was
found 1 The sides of the watch had
been digested, but the hands and face
were still intact. The hand indicated
11:45. This was the identical time
when Mr. Fadden captured the owl

amount to $10,000.
The goods included in this sale we
wish placed before Feb. 1st as then
we take our Annual inventory, and
we had rather have these goods sold
at even greatly reduced prices than
have them upon our shelves at that

cause we have lots of stuff that will
be turned iuto money by Feb. 1st. .
