Prof. H. B. Craven, who Is superin tendent of this institution, together with the efficient corp of teachers that have been employed, make one of, the best faculties to be found in any city school, and the outlook for this term bids fair to be the best in the history of the school.

"On the third day as the appointed time approached, Russian scout aero- planes appeared over the city, watch ing for the departure of the Austrian when the Austrlans failed to leave the Russians made a show of opening a - -bombardment. Although no shells " actually fell in Lemberg the cannon ading terrified the citizens, of whom ' 35,000 bolted into the surrounding -'-country.

Nobody was allowed to leave for Vienna by train unless they deposited 5,000 kronen at ' the railway station to show their abil ity to meet the enormously increased expense of living in the capital. "Among the pitiful sights in Lem berg were numerous Austrian soldiers begging in the streets for bread. Many were seriously wounded. Other Aus- : , train soldiers were seen carrying their uniforms under their arms in bundles, which they declared they were about to burn. "The utter disorganization of the Austrian military administration is evident.

For years' past these aggregations have been coming to New Bern and exhibiting on a vacant . lot on Broad Street. On almost every occasion there has been a' great deal of ' rowdyism around the place, and the assistance of- the police has been re- j quired in quieting the disturbance. A few days ago the advance agent of one of these attractions arrived in the city ; and made arrangements to give anex--hibition, but after learning of it, Mayor Bangert gave the police instructions to; prohibit them from erecting-' their tents at any point within the city limits. , V . i .
