A prize was also presented to the ‘‘most obedi- ent™ pupil in Fourth District School dui the term ending July 30, 1557. The gentleman who ile the gift, desiring to be known only as a *riend to the Public Schools.*’ requested the her to select the worthy pupil. Iu the opin- ton of the teacher, there were two competitors for this prize, equal in merit—George A. Hinton and Sanmel A. Amery—and, in deciding the point by jot, the latter was successful. Both pupils were mentioned as entitled to high honor, as obedient, moral and successful pupils of the school. In the course of the exercises, Mr. S. Y. AtLee stated an interesting, of the pupils, to wiom a premium Joseph om |, a boy of lo—wiy ugh resid- ing ut the western end of the Le bridge, had ever been absent a single hour from scheot dur- the year; even at the time when all ordin: 3 vassage across the river Las been suspended. ast year, ut the time of the ice tloods, bis teach- er, Mr. Edson, remoustrated with him for incar- sing the danger of crossing; the boy declared that nothing should keep him from school, and that, if necessary, ke would go around by the aqueduct to reach it! After the premiums had been awarded, Mr. Z% Richards, on the vart of the male pupils of the distriet school, pre: wo valuable books to Mr. J. E. Thompson, t teacher. Mr. Rich- ards accompanied the presentation with some eloquent remarks upon the trying nature of the teacher's duties, which had, however, occasion- ally a bright relief, ax in the ease of the present testimonial of regard from the pupils to the teacher. Were it hot for such oases in the desert the labor of the teacher would be intolerable, in- Mr. Thompson replied appropriately, and in so doing took occasion to contrast the present egnudition of the schools of that distri now numbering four or five hundred pupils, with that eight years ago when he commenced with 31 iis. Pr Abbott afterwards presented to Miss Mil- burn, of the female department, a beautiful pres- ent from the girls of her school, and in finely con- ceived language expressed the yratiticatfon it afforded him te be the medium of presentation— yoing on to say that on a late visit to Miss Mil- rns school, it seemed to him more like a plea- sant family home than any other school he had ever seen. given— Mr. Richards, in responding for Miss Milburn, id a bigh compliment to both the teacher and i pupilx, and also to the preceding teacher, Mrs. Hinton ‘The pleasant exercises of the day (which we must not forget to mention were enlivened by the eacellent singing of the schools) were concluded with prayer ev.

Yet, the public hy no guarantee that the —- miay not get the upper band this wee! By the way, what has become of that rose-colored project agitated some Ume since inthe New York papers, of getting a supply of freslk beef from the plains of Venezuela, where cattle are so abundant that they are killed simply for their hides; and where they can be bought for SI to $3 per head, and by stéam pro- Her be brought, in about ten days’ voyage to New York. for $10 to $15 per head, making their cost in the market $16 or $20 each’ The Western folks, who are interested of coarse in keeping prices up, said the project woald not work for these reasons: The cattle raised upon the savannas of Venezueiz never eat hay, nor can they be made to cat it by any degree of hunger; they are fizhtened at the sight of an ear of corn. nor will they drink waterexcept from a *bubling brook °' They will die of thirst and starvation betore they will touch either on board a vessel ‘The attempts to overcome these difficulties with the wild cattle in the bordering States of Mexico and im ‘Texas Lave proven they are not transport- able la any vovayes longer than they can be kept without food os water. The cattle brought frou ‘Texas to New Oceans neither drivk nor eat from the time they age put om board the ship till they are landed; and ina passage of thirty-six hours fom Matayorda to the Mississippi, large num bers die The Westerners therefore argued that the idea of bringing the wild cattle of Venezuela to New York was one of the wildest projects ever seri- ously debated by sensible men, and that the pas- toral region of our own country, between the Mis- sissippi and the Rio Grande.are the regions from — we toust diaw our beef and mutton for the ature To atl this the New Yorkers replied that some Mans could be devised tu learn the Venezuelan cattle to eat bay, and if wot wh: they would just salt down and pack the beef there, and bring it to market bere This was all satisfactory, Lut we hear no more of the South American cheap beef.
