SCHOOL LEVIES
4 case has recently been decided in the Dis
trict Court of Nicholas county, fully sustaining
the Interpretation of the 4ith Section of the
School Law, by my predecessor, Sup't Zeigler,
that no election by the people is necessary to
order levy, and That the action Of the Board of
Education in making levy is presumed to he
with 'the assent Of the voters who have elect
ed them for that purpose among others The
case was ably argued on both sides, and as NJ ap-
peal has been taken, it is not probable that the
principle viii hereafter Ice seriously contested.

ES-The result of the war, as it regards
prices and financial operations, has been
scarcely less surprising and contradictory
of preconceived opinions than its military
and political changes. BTeadstuGs, which
advanced materially at first, have declined
below the figure they stood at when the war
commenced. Gold has reacted until it is
now very nearly as low as at the commence
meut OF hOstilities. Cotton has suffered
less than was anticipated. Still, remarks the
Alexandra Gazette, we cannot but agree
in the opinion expressed by the Richmond
Wing that the price of breadstufs must
sooner or later be seriously affected Be.

two great armies, neither France nor Ger
many can make large preparations for full
crop next year. Supplies wasted or con
sumGd now cannot be replaced except at en-.
HANGED prices. Every farmer must, howey-
er, make his own calculations and form his
own judgment. He must decide for himself.

Mrs. Quitoe. a young lady, beauti
full and accomplished. was found muir.
dered in her bed at a hotel in Hannib'
al, Missouri, last Thursday morning.
She had come to that place from the
South about a month before with q
number of relatives, and the party
took rooms at the National Hotel.
Nothing tramspired to attract parti-
cular attention until the morning q
the murder, about five o'clock, while
a noise was heard in the vicinity of the
room occupied by Miss Quitoe by the
night clerk, who was passing through
the halls. He Immediately followed
the sound and was led thereby to hel
door. As he neared the door he heard
a terrific blow, and at the same time
a mans voice saying. "There, d-n
you, you have lived long enongh.'
He raised the alarm, the door was
burst open, and the young lady found
weltering in a pool of blood upon hel
bed. The murderer escaped, and
there is no clew to lead to his arrest.
