the middle of August, under the euperin
tendence Of Prot. d. d. PICKETT, of Alfred
Allegheny county, N. Y, a teacher of vas
experience, and who comes highly recon-
mended as thorough and efficient teacher
II is due TO Mr.. DRAKE, the retiring superin
tendent, to soy, that, for the facilities ,ha
have been afforded in th shape Of sshOo
rooms and otherwise, the schools give evi
dence Of improvement credtable alike t.
teachers and scholars. Indeed, we have
heard it remarked frequently that the schools
are now in better condition than they have
been for years before.
A GRAVE QUESTION SETTLED. are
informed that the difficulty in reference tt
the graveyard purchase in this township
has been arranged between the Trustees ant
Mr. WADswoRTH, the latter taking back th'
land purchased by Trustee WILLIAMSON an'
delivering up the notes given IN paymen
therefor. This has all been accomplished
without resort to expensive litigation, jus
as we had no doubt it would be if the peop
took the matter into their own hands an
elected men for Trustees who would look t.
the public interest instead of that of partic
ular party fayories. About election tim
the Portage County Democrat and the Re
publican leaders denounced the movemen
by which this thing wrs sought to be accom-

thwart it. II their charges of the Repub
can leaders and their organ were true, W
hope they will not withhold from the Demoe
racy the credit that is due for having brougt
about this arrangement.
The Trustees are entitled TO great cred
for the energy and perseverance, manifesto
by them in bringing about this settlemen
