SCHOOL MONEY.

There has been good deal of inquiry and
discussion as to the effect of the law passed by
our Legislature last Fall concerning the dstri-
button of the public money to the several school
districts. Some have supposed it will operate
to the benefit of the larger and the injury of
the smaller districts; while others have thought
that the length of time which school is kept
during the year will affect the amount received.
For the benefit of those who desire information
on this subject we publish the Section OF the
Act relating to this subject, which will speak
for itself
SECTION G. "That portion of the public mon
ey which is now by law required to be divided
annually to the respective districts in each town,
in proportion to the number of scholars between
four and eighteen years of age shall hereafter
be divided to such districts in proportion to the
average daily attendance of the scholars of such
districts (who are between the age of four and
twenty years. upon the common school in such
districts during the preceding school year such
average daily attendance to be ascertained from
the records thereof TO be kept in the registers
of such schools, las prescribed in this act,) by
adding together the number of days of actual
attendance Of each legal scholar, as shown by
the record, and dividing the sum. or aggregate
attendance by the number Of days the school
has been kept during the year, the quotient

The late S. S. Prentiss had scarcely made his
brilliant debut at the Vicksburg bar before q
plan was set on foot to get him out of the way.
1t was arranged that a person who, having been
born and educated gentleman, had thrown
himself away and was fast becoming a sot, but
who was withal capital marksman, should per
form this service for the community. His sec
ond bore the challenge. Prentiss quietly read
it, and stated that he would answer It at his own
time and in his own way. Selecting one of his
best shirts, he dispatched it by his body servant
with the following note:-" Sir, l accept your
challenge, but with one proyiso-that you APP
pear on the ground in the accompanying piece
Of raiment, as it is impossible for ME TO fight
any one who does not observe the extetnals Of
gentleman" The gentleman withdrew the
challenge, but kept the shirt,

A good joke is told OF Beecher and Park
Benjamin, though it is probably not true: On
one of their lecturing expeditions, they were
riding in the same railway car. Getting into
conversation about preaching, Beecher was SO
courteous as to ask Benjamin to come over to
Brooklyn some Sabbath morning and hear him.
81 do not know where your meeting house is"
said Benjamin; show shall find it?" "Oh,"
replied Beecher, "all you have to do is to come
over one OF the ferries, and follow the crowd"
81 would come" continued Benjamin, "but for
one reason" "Ah! what is that?" asked Beech
er. because" said Benjamin, with aerry
look out of his eyes, Il make il an invariable
rule never to go to any place of amusement on
