DEAR FREKMAN-The Borough of Millville
which is very young lace, has always been
forward with energetic Board of School
Directors. But a few years ago that borough
had only two schools These were soon In
creased 10 three, then to four, then to FIVE,
then to tx, then to seven, and lately to nine
schools. To keep up with this increase of
population taxed the energies of the School
Directors to the utmost, and within the time
mentioned they have built thirty six thousand
dollars worth Of school houses. and they have
now twelve of the best school rooms in the
county, if not in the State. The names of the
present school board are a. NJ. Gregg Evan
g. Lewis, Patrick Hogan, Peter McDermott,

have done their best i'll max ng judciOus Sc
lection of teachers. Let the teachers emulate
their example ami make the schools what they
ought to be.
little ''unpleasautness" has arisen here
about an anony nous article that appeared III
the Presby teriar Banner about some of our
most worthy and respectable citizens, which
the Tribune thOughtlessly charges upon Ebens-
burg. / he article HAS evidently written in
JohnstoSn and is SO full of the old Know No
thing feeling dog is full of feas. 1t is
old Connecticut blue law perscri ption. A man
dare not own a fine horse-he dare not build
or dedicate chulclI-he dar not take drink
he dare not send TO select school-he dare
hot own or 60 to II theitre,-he must bake his
buckwheat cakes on Saturday night, aid only
just warm them on Sunday morning. l. these

read the Bible and believe and practice It's

in while. The Son o. man came eating and
drinking, and they called him inc bibb.er
and friend of publicans and 81! n r. SO you
see there were even slanderers then. IT We
have theatres the ancients had ampitheatres.
" hat think you of that Mr.. Archer? This
term reminds me of little story. "a was all

strange looking material. 1t IS white as
flour, and falls like feathers, while it is like
salt in form-all crystals. Iou Eoen>burg
people had better come down and see it before
it melts.
We understand there are four vacant schools

one in COuemaugh township, ut Mr. Won Leu

run three months if the weather does not gel
