In Massachusetts statistics show that while there has been an increase in the whole number of teachers of 322, it is wholly in favor of females, there being a decrease of one in tiie number of males cm ployed, with an increase of 3lid in the number of females. There is a corresponding decrease in the average wages of males and of Icmalcs, the former lecciving $8.51 less per mouth and the latter $3.38 more than the previous year.

It is estimated that about twenty per cent, of the troops will bo wounded in the next campaign, anil that a little more than three per cent, will bo killed. That is to nay that in an army corps of 35,000 men, 1200 will be killed and 5S00 wounded. About one-third of the wounds, it is thought, are likely to be serious.

Several irregularities and frauds were unearthed in the parish of Sabine in favor of Foster, and in New Orleans iu favor of McEnery.
