I agree with the gcntlem&d. But I think it depends mostly on the teacher to say what he will work for. Perhaps he is like the old negro preach er who contented himself on one dol lar per year by saying that “he was well paid—poor pay, poor preach.” Or perhaps the teachers in this county are like one I heard of in the lower counties who kept a horse, a cow and a wife on ninety dollars per year and said he was “well paid.” But the teachers in this county require more than ninety dollars' per yea •. You have scholars to come to you with books of various kinds, such as the Blue-back Spelling Book. They tell you that their parents have studied these books, and they think that they ought to know all that is in the Bfaev back before they can go farther. Now, there are the school-houses as well as the teaclier’s salary tliat should be looked after. They are a disgrace to our coun ty, and especially the townships in which these little log cabins are erect ed. f heard a teacher’ bragging on first Saturday that he had paid a baud fifty cents to daub his school-room with mud. Some of the teachers are not able to pay a hand to daub their school-rooms, and the children are re quired to sit in tbase rooms with the winds coming through the cracks. The benches and desks thul they have in them are hardly worth commenting on. It would take a healthy child or teacher to stand the roughs of a coun try schooling. m. 8TUEEV HEP AIRS. Dorset at Full Bat.—There was a wild, angry, excited look on his face, the look wbich reminded one of a hunted i nimal driven at bay, and his words were hot and bitter.

It is expected that the annual meeting of the Alumni Association will take place at the same time; and that the Alumni lecture before the students by the Rev. Dr. B. M.

Flenniken was unanimously re elected secretary, for the ensuing year. Nominations for intendant being in order, the names of‘Messrs. Jno. J% Noil and J. H. Cummlngi were pre sented.

On the eve of the annual election of municipal officers for the next year, it is nothing but proper that the attention of the gentle men who- will compose the next Town Council shonld be directed to the con dition of certain stieets within the town. We refer to the northern end of Congress street, especially from the corner at Mr. J. M. Elliott’s to the fork of said street, near Mr. W. II. Kerr’s- During the whole ^of the past Whiter this street has been in an almost impassable condition, and even now Is not in such a condition as to render travel on it even comfortable. When the attention 1 of the present council lias heretofore been called to file con dition of this street, it has been urged, we understand, that the weather would not permit any work upon it, and that there wore no funds to be appropriated for the purpose o* fixing luai airisei, or the steam engine debt had to be paid. As to the weather we admit that it has boon exceedingly unfavorable, bat surely there has been some time during the past year when efficient work might have' been accomplished, and-it is true that the same street was almost as impassable in the winter of 1881-82.- As to the engine debt, I wotridi simply inquire if good streets are to be sacri ficed for ..the sake of the steam engine.. But has-all all the money raised from taxes, licenses and' other sources been applied to the engine debt and carrentt town expenses, to the exclusion of the streets? We understand that one gen- tteinan ot the town has had a bill for fortydolKars approved by the council' for removing the soil from his own yard and putting it on the sidewalk in tVont of hi» own promises! Wonld it not* have been well'tb have spent about half that amount on the northern end of Congress street? If property-hold ers are to be taxed, and part of the money raised is to' ho applied to the payment of work on the streets. is it not the barest justice to make an equi table division and application of the money—at least in proportion to the 1 property taxed?' Now I will-hazzard- the assertion that not one-half of the snm above mentioned has been ex-| pended on tlie street in question during TTXTTtI7T> r r H T2^T?X> ’ the last fonr months! I have heard it. vJTv UHiSXl. ix JV^JLiXV -O frequently remarked that the road bed SPRING ANNOUNCEMENT! A FRESH SUPPLY OF VERY FINK FLOUR JUST RECEIVED. EVERY SACK WARRANTED BY 2). R. FLENNIKEN.
