I The S.:ho.1 Commissioner in order ,r to make an apportionment of the school C fund atmong different townships, ap- A plied to the Auditor for a statement of th taxes for each township. The st:tte- er ment was furnished, but the Conmis sioner not feeling sati=fied with the re sult looked into the matter and found that the number of horses in each of I township had been furnished, instead fo of the number of polls-by mistake. j By Consent In the Court of Common Pleas, the i Judge adopted the plan of taking up eases by consent. When either party will not consent, there is no trial. se r The result has been constant, nervous T endgavor to And something for the r jury to'do; and very few cases of real re importance have been tried. We be- th lieve that the cases should be called al peremptorily, and forced to trial, or pr continued. This would save the time m of the jury, and would teach-parties fo tLe importance of being ready. On the Rampage. %a Monday morning a horse that had been hitched to the wheel of a bu -became frightened, and tore the wvhe from the buggy. He dashed up . main street dragging the wheel aft.-r him, and scattering persons right and left. Like a :"ensible horse, he avoided the mud by keeping o:i the side walk, where he had the satisfaction ofsee- sh ing some lively dodging and scamper- cr a ing. We suggest that the proper place at whie to hitch the average horSe in order to prevent a runaway, is between the shafts. T'd Regiment Election.

Moniday morning a flutter of excite- ps , eut was caused in town by the re- A 1Ort that a man at Mr, henry Blease's th Hotel had small pox. Ther'e was a good deal of tremulous tall oin the u sabject. Some persons began to spea!g Ti of vaccination, and others about fleeino ci' to part.s unknown. Theo town Conce th did .'s. lose its presence of mind for b ad instant.

E T lhe business of the Sessionts Court ht iwas finished about 11 o'clock a. in., tb but the Judge was unable to adjourn Court without discharging the Grand W Jury which was out examining the public odlees, and preparing itipre- A a seniment.

In fine there is brought to- e gether in this book, and ready for use a e variety of inform.ttion concerning the C.iun- tl try and Gov.rnment that every one ou-ht to b kisow.-'erern Chris:ian Advocate, )cen- a ber 13th, 1842.n The Qusail-Eater WVins. NEw YORK, February 5.-Mr.] Walcott, the quail-eater, sat down to finish the thirtieth brace of birds. ~ He bad wagered that he could eat a brace of quails every afternoon for * thirty consecutive days. Two ~ hundred and fifty dollars was the 11 original stake, but from time to time 2 it has been increased until some 1b four or five thousand dollars de- ,i pended upon the result. Not all of them were bet by the original par ties to the wager, however. Wal cott said as he sat down that he felt quite as well, if not better; than when he began the quail diet. Among the spectators to-day were several physicians. Walcott took - seven minutes to clean the bones of to-day's brace. The number of visitors to the place where the con test has been going on has been not far from ten thousand, and the match has excited much interest and comment. The Abbeville Press and Ban ner says Abbeville levies no extra tax for the scho'6ls, and we know of no sentiment here which favors any such movement. Abbeville has always had a school and her people have always been willing to pay.the teachers. We have in Abbeville a school association, each member I being plediged to contribute a sun. not exceeding twenty dollars an nually to make good any deficiency of money with which to pay the teachers. The board of trustees. which is elected by the school as sociation, is composed of gentlemen - chosen from the different religious denominations. The - board, with the association pledged to give any needed aid, have had no trouble in securing the services of good teachers, who have conducted thea school in a manner so satisfactoryc that no deficiency has yet occurr.ed.I The school is kept open as a free school as long as the public money will pay the teachers, and after that time tuition fees are collected-the rule being, we b&eve, to dismiss the children of tiuie who are un willing to pay, while, so far as we are informed, no child of any citiz- - en who is unable to pay has been denied its benefit. The graded system which was adopted several years ago has been discontinued and the school is now known as the 1 Abbeville High School. While the colored people of the town have no such organization as the Abbeville School Association, yet theyt manage to keep their school open during the whole of the scholastic ear. As a rule, the better class of - colored people in Abbeville are noted for their liberality in matters pertaining to either the schools or the church. They send their child ren to school and pay their preacher. Last Thurda,'hief of Police, Fel ers, captured nimble fingered Tabitha Shephard and recovered from her per- t son, $20, stolen from Mr. F.
