At that time men's consciences were unbending, lees influ sewed by expediency than they are now- . -days, .ad these noble men would rath- er tate suffered • brave death than have lived • dishonorable life. Bach se they loved their native Nod, and notwith- standing their aversion to the Dutch, they resolved to betake themselves to the low countries d Holland where se- tiiggtuons freedom prevailed.

Why this document should be so long delayed it is impos- sible to say.

It seems strange to us that w, important a document cannot be presented within two or three months, .t least, after the expiration d the year for which it u prepared, has ex- pired. x- 1 may not, however, be uninterest- ing to our readers to give • synopsis of the general contents of the Report. It commencer with the statement that the increase of the School Feud by �local ef- fort in 1869, was $38,093,-$26,622 d which was applied to the increase of gala,. lee of teachers -yet the increase of the Fund in 1870, by the name local effort, was 3116 928, of which $47,616 w- ex- pended in increasing the salaries d teachers.
