Sir

I have the honor to report that an effort has been made by Union men in this place to support a free day and night School for orphan and indigent persons- For this purpose there has been subscribed monthly for a period of six months a sum sufficient to support one Teacher and to assist another, and they request that the Bureau will assist them by giving them the use of the Campbellite Church and the services of Luanna Higgleston as an assistant Teacher. The number of pupils desirous for instruction require the services of another Teacher and there would be plenty of other pupils to fill the Schools of Miss Campbell and Miss Evans-

Luanna Higgleston at present receives fifteen dollars from the Bureau and they propose if the Bureau will continue to pay this to give her 5 or 10 dollars extra-
