I agree with the gentlemat But I think It depends mostly on thl teacher to say what lie will work for Perhaps he is like the old negro preach er who contented himself onl one dol. lar per year by saying that "he wan well paid-poor pay, poor preach.' Or perhainp the teachers in this counts are like one I heard of in the lowei counties who kept a horse, a cow an(l a wife on ninety dollar per year and said lie was "well paid." But tlh teachers in this county require mor( than ninety dollasm pel year. You have scholars to come to you witli books of various kinds, such as the Blue-back Spelling Book. They tell you that their parent% have studiedl these books, and they think that thev ought to know all that is In the BhT6 back before they can go farther. Now, there arethe school-houses as well as the teacher's salary that should be lookeI after. They are a disgrace to our coun ty, at,d especially the townships in which theec little log cabins are 'rect ed. i heard a teacher bragging on l'gs Saturday that lie had paid a band ffiy cents to daub his school-room witi mud. Some of the~ teachers are not able to pay a hand to daub theiu school-rooms, atW1 the chiidren are re, qulred to sit in these rooms with th< wi nds cominag t.hroug'h the-cracks. Th< benches and desks thut they' have ii them are hardly worth commuenting on. It would take a healthy child 01 teacher to staud the roughas of a coun try schooling. .m MT1RET R EF ARS. teer.ERditors: 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 mnen who- will comnpose the next Tiown1 Council should be directed to .the eon. dition of ccrtain atuinets wIthin the( town:. .We refer to the northern end of Congress stA'eet, 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 wi4uter this street has been in an almost .impassable condition, and even now It ntat In such a condition as to rende.j travel on it even comfortable. Whei the attentloni of the present council has heretofore been called to flle con-. dition of this street, it has been urged, we understand, that the weather wonkl not permit any wo~rk upon it, and thai there wvere no funds to be ap)propriated for the purpose oWfiaxing th at streeft or the steaun engine dleTt had to bi paid. As to the weather we ad'mit that ii has been exceedinuglyv unfavorable, but surely there has beeni some time durn the p)ast year when efficient WOr might have heeni accomplIshed, anad.l js true that the same street was almnosl as impassable In the winter of 1881-82 As to the enginme debt, I wouJde sImll inquire If good streets are "to be sacri, flood for..the sake of' the steam engine Rut has-all all thme money raised fromr taxes, licenses and othem' sources beet applied to, the engine debt and-currena townm expenses, to the exclusion of thn streets? We understand that one gen, Ucemam of the town has had a bill fom forby doiYars- approved by the conni for removinjg the soil from his owvi yard' and putting it on the sidewalk it tkont of his~ own prIeises!5 Wonld. fI not' have been wel l't-have spent aboni harf that amount on the northern ei of Congress street ? If p)roperty-hold. oe are to be taxed, andl part of th( money r'alscd is to' be applied to th<( payment of work on the streets,.is Il not the- barest justice to make an equi. table division and application of th( mnoney--at, least in proport ion to the tihe assertion. that not one-half of the sum ablove mentioned, has beena ex pended on the street in qunest Ion durliing thehlast fouir months 11 havo h eard it frequently remuarked that the road bed nthsstreet is. by far the worst in the county. If we exp)ect to keelp up thle trade of the town, It is not only desira b)le, but essential,r that. Clie' avenues ol approach to the town- bic kept in such a conIditioni as will r'ender it safe to travel upon themi. This- has not beenm the case in-regard to the -street wve have mentioned, if having' wagons and bug.. gies to overturn proves anything. We offer these suggestions withaoit Intending to reflect upon anyone, per sonally, but only for' (tie p'urpose of having somie attention- paid to one of the most inportant ends- of Congress street, which bas1. strange to say, re cved little, ifs any, attention during the~ last winter-.
