Its weight was live hun dred min sovity-tioven pounds, net, It was of the Berkshire stock, and wa.9 brought to this place by Mr. Dunn in the early part of 1873 then about two months old.

Burn sides of that city a short time back. The warrant of arrest was issued by Trial Justice Pickling, of Columbia, and countersigned by Trial Justice Miackey, of this place. The prisoner was taken down to Columbia on Tuesday afternoon. Most pooplo thinlc that the recess taken by our Legislaturo is too long. -Reglistered -)ot. We have asked for an explanation of the recess from a member of the Logilaturo. He says that a large majority of the body are farmers, and that they took this long recess in order to enable them to make arrangements for labor for the present year. That explains the milk in thme cocoanut Educational. The State Superintendent of Education has issued the following circular letter of instructions: OFlEoF STATE SUPERINTENDENT oF EDUoATIoN, CowumIIA, S. C., Dec. 241, 1877. 'fl I1i (he Only &hool Commissioner of Falirpechl S i-The followving amendment to the Constitution of this State, having heen ratified, is published for your information: "Thoe Boards of County Commis sinners of the several counties shall levy an annual tax of not less than twvo mills on the dollar upon all the taxable property in their respective counties, which levy shall n)ot be increased unless b)y special enacts mont of the General Assembly, for the supp)ort of Public Schools in their respective counties, which tax shall be collected at the same time, and by the same ofilcers, as the other taxes for the same ycar, and shall be holdi in the County Treas uiries of the respective counties, and paid out exclusively for the support of Public Schools, as provided by law. "T.Lhore shall be assessed on all taxable polls5 in the State an annual taix of one dollar on each poll, the proceeds of wvhich tax shall be ap plied solely to educational purposes; .PrduJided, that no person shall- ever be dleprived of the right of suffrage for the non payment of said tax. No other pol1l or capitation tax shall be levied in the State nor shall the amount assessed on each poll exoced the limit given in this Section. The School Tiax shall 'be distributed among the several school districts of the counties, in proportion to the respetivo numn ber of pupils attending the Pnblic Schools. No roligious sect or sects shall have exclusive right to, or control of, any part of the School Fund of the State, nor shall sectarian principles be ' taught in tiePublic Schools." Iwould advise that the Free Public Schools be opened at 'such time ais will hant subserv the ei. cational intorosts of yo, county As soon as possible you shiild ap. portion the School Fund amlong tlh several distriets. In making this apportionment you should be care fiul not to exceed the amount which will probably be collected for thi year. If the incomo of the School Fund should be larger than the amount estimated, tho excess can b( apportioned after the tax is col lected. The Poll Tax will be expended, as heretofore, in the school district in which it is collected. It is sug gosted that a ineeting of tho Ex aminors and Trustees of your coun, ty b held as soon as practicable, and that such regulations be adopt ed as will insure the most economi cal ianagemlent of the Free School Fund. In the fiture teachers will receive their pay regularly, and it is hoped that in Iall th) coultieF the services of competent persomlf will bo secured. It is not praceticablo to establisl: a rato of pay for teachers that can be adopted in all portions of ti< State, but when good teachers car be obtained the salaries should b< ats liberal as the School Fund of th< several counties will warrant. Il is not always true economy t( select as teachers those who wil: work for the smallest pay. The law requires that applicant. for the position of teacher shoulk be examined as to their qualifica tions. Theso examinations shoulh be thorough, and I would advis that they betonducted in writing The Boards of Examiners are urget to grant no certificates except t persons who, upon careful examina tion, llay shiow proficiency in th< branches of learning in which the' are to give instruction.
