We Icsrn, says the htRiyeacer from
Prof Z isler, the State Superintendent
Of Schools, that tho annu, reports from
the couoiy Superintenirn's are now
c0ning in rapidly and are generally sat
islactcry, They initiate that the public
schools are slnoips their wny to the IA
vor ofalI classes and shades Of political
opinion, The hostility to them which
existed in many localities Is dying out
Ths'ojneh of loo uxstitt f,r school
houses is about over, and the people who
have got their school houses bult are
proud Anthem and pIassed with their
stNonla; and begin to feel that they ore
worth all they cost oud mulh MORE
This Is very gratifying, for the furnre Of
the State MI depend 90 the INTEL
geac9 OF the rising generation, and
Their Intelligence and fitness for the
Hrust will be very greatly promoted by a
system VI free 'pu5lic edocarioa The
removal of the oath uowi,ely imposed
on teachers will make friends for the
school in all the border and southern
parr Of tie State We were glad to no.
7ice that during the recent election in
some coun'es where the Schools we're
dragged into the canvas, neither party
was willing to Acknowledge Itself un-
friendly to lhea,j and we hope the same
is true all owe! the State and always
will be.

Tie PAEKMAN MURDER. - When
Prof. Webster confessed to its minutest
details the murder of his friend DIR. Geo.
Parkman. i'll the Boston medical college.
nearly 20 years ago, aud remorsetully
besuught forgiveness of Parkman's broth
er. one might have felt toerably sure,
not only that the thing was so. but that
it would never be contradicted. But
that unexpected contradiction has come.
One Thomas Barrett, who signs himself
lone of the jury, and there really was
IL Juror of that name on the case,-has
written to the New Orleans Times let
ter of self-accusation. He declares that
he murdered DIR. Parkman, that he dis
posed OF the body and it never was found
that Prot. Webster was entirely innocent
and that he, Barrett, after Il long strug-
gle with himself, relieves himself Of this
terrible incubus" He alludes to the re
mains scattered about the medical college
in 1919 as corresponding i'll many re-
spects to those OF the missing man.
Whether Thomas Barrett is an alias As
sumcd TO start sensation, or whether he
is the juror Barrett gone crazy III tins
queer way, awaits further revelation
which perhaps we shall never get.

NOVEL. WAY or FIGIrrING FIRE. -
During the great fire at Hunters Point,
Long Island, on Wednesday, thousands
o. gallons of burning oil were spread up
on the surfa &c of the water, the flames
extending up Newton creek, and as the
tide was setting in new bridge was ell
dangered by the rapidly advancing wave
Of fire. Thousands of people were on the
banks witnessing the spectacle, and
though the danger was apparent, there
seemed to be no possible way OF saving
the bridge. BY chance bystander threw
Il stone into the flaming creek, when it
was noticed that the agitation of the wa
ter caused by the falling stone broke the
sheet OF fire, and as the circle of agitation
extended, clear space of two or three
yards in diameter was made. The idea
was at once seized by hundreds Of those
present that here was u way of checking
the progress Of the fire and saving the
bridge. Lines were at once formed to {
brick yard near by, and in a very shor
time several thousand bricks had been
thrown into the creek with the effect d
speedily checking, and, before long, ell,
tireIy extinguishing the flames.
