A motion was here introduced to defer the
election of trustees until the first of July. upon
which a lengthy discussion ensued. The ques-
ton was decided in the negative by vote of
to II.
The board then proceeded to ballot for the

following gentlemen were elected to that Of
fee:
Dexter II. Huichins, Fa,mersburg; Ebert
V. Carter. Elkader; DR.. VIM. Hoffbauer, Gut
tenbcrg Joseph A. Brown. Clayton Rufus
Richardson, Wagner, John CARRIER, Elkrort {:

The President was requested by the board to
send to each of the Trustees elect, printed
certificate of election to be signed by the Pres
ident and Secretary of this board.
By unanimous vote of the board it was re-
solved that the members of this board are en-
titled to three dollars per day for the time they
are necessarily detained by the business of the
board for the payment Of their expenses.
A resolution was passed fixing the first Tues
day Of Oct. next for the time to which this

The question of government of schools was
presented, and by invitation of the board, J.
Briggs, A. Bush and A. Brown, County Sup't.,

was that gentle and unimpassionate authority

necessity teacher has the right and authority
to use such means and inf,ict such punishment
as he may deem necessary for the government
of the school, being at all times responsible for
the abuse of Il is privilege.

The Ne,chaN.-Travellers to Milwaukee will
notice the card of this model Hotel in our latest
Advertising columns. The Newhall is the
most elegant building of its class in the west,
comparing fayorably with the Girard and the
La Pierre of Philadelphia. the Revere of Bos-
Ton and the Astor of New York. Notwith-
standing the elegance of its finish and the style
OF its living, we know from personal observa-
ton that the Newhall is exempt from all fun

the reputed first class houses Of the country.

Sherman House-We invite the attention Of
our readers to the card Of this long established
Chicago Hotel. 1t is centrally situated, large,
well-kept and its charges reasonable. 1t is
not what is now called "frst-class HOTEL
but its table is furnished with the sCbstantials
of life, its beds are clean and its rooms pleas
ant. In conversation with Mr.. Reed lis pro-
prietor We leaned that he had only occupied
the house about FIVE months, and that his OBJ.
ject in opening it was to furnish home for
that large and valuable class Of men who
have neither time nor inclination to be waited
uIon at every door by servant with little
broom TO brush you down and "an itching
palm" to receive the quarter! We have been
raised very plainly (lhsnk Heaven and the
honest proverty of OR parents) and we are
proud OF it. We are much more at home
where we are not annoyed with these exces
siye attentions which, after all are but remind
ers OF that ahjectness to which even q white
man will descend for little money.
