Mr.. Headley, of all writers, is perhaps best
qualified to portray the stupendous teatures vi

less momentous themes have placed him In the
first position as a graphic and powerful deline-
ator of war scenes and characters, and the
magnitude and grandeur of the present subject

scope for the highest exhibition of his pecuilar

Party Issues in School Elections.

Party Issues i'm School Elections.
We commend the following extract
from the Ohio State Commissioner of
Common Schools to the careful read
ing and sober meditation of the friends
of the schools in our town and county:
Our schools have not wholly eseap-
ed the sharp and bitter party feeling
engendered by the late war Its
mighty issues swept over and permea-
ted every other interest: One terrible
line of strife divided the people, and
every other cause of interest was, to
some degree, staked upon the ISSUE
Men met at the election polls as upon
as though they were bullets. School
officers elected on party issues too of
ten placed them above the highest in
terests of the schools. Teachers were
selected by party tests. The result
wherever such a spirit prevailed, has
been deploreable. In few localities
the belief of suspicion that the schools
were being used as a means of party
patronage, has been to them like
blight or mildew. They lost the con-
fidence and active support of the very
men who had formerly contributed
most largely to their success, and, as
a consequence, rapidly declined in
standing and usefulness 1t is true,
and am glad it is, that these cases are
exceptions. They none the less clear
ly reveal the danger Of permitting par
| ty, spirit to seize upon our schools. 1t
is my candid belief that this is the
most serious evil which now disturbs
our common school system.
Whatever excuse, if any, for drag
ging school elections into party issues,
existed during the war, there is now
happily no justification for such a
course. The highest safety and sue
cess of the school system alike demand
a speedy return to the policy of ex-
cluding partizan issues and strifes from
school elections and from meetings of
boards of education. Here men must
agree to meet not as politicians or par
tizans, but as neighbors united in the
defense of a common interest and zeal
Gus. in the promotion of a common
good. And good men of both parties
must strike hands on this question,
and must resolutely agree that what
ever else is dragged into party strife,
! the school system shall not be. sE@

The Sandusky River was somewhs

The Sandusl1y River was somewhat
elevated last week. The bottom lands
along its shores were covered with water.
No serious damage was doneby the freshet
in this immediate vicinity; but, we under
stand, that below this place some bridges
were swept away, among them the Kill
burn Bridge. The freeze ON Sunday and
Monday converted the great sea of water
ON the low lands into one grand sheet of
ice, and you would run no particular risk
in wagering your ''spons" that the young
folks enjoyed it hugely. Rivers, like 9th
er folks. will get high occasionally.

that can be procured upon the presentation
of evidence of honorable discharge, and
that the wound causing the loss of limb
was received in service. They are furn-
ished free of charge. and do not affect any
pension or bounty claim the soldier may
