An effort was made to induce Mr.
Birmingham, ut one time principal of our
public schools, TO again accept that po-
sition, but he refused, having entered
into other engagements. Most of our cit
liens, who take an interest in the schools,
will regret this determination of Mr.. Bur-
lingham. His return to our schools would
give very general satisfaction.

Enquirer" INDUCES in an attack upon
he council after tho following twill
you, Mr.. BULLETIN, allow mo to enquire
through your paper why it is that our cit
zens arc doomed to continuous, pes
,ifierous and dangerous annoyance by the
dogs running at large in our
city, not outstanding the positive ordi-
nance to the contrary? Is it because they
have not the moral courage to enforce
their own ordinances, or because a major
ity of them have no! paid their canine
tax? Ifthc former, it would be great
relief if they would resign their official
honors and give place to men Of more
nerve. If the latter, why not get up a
festival to raise funds to relieve them?
ENQUIRER"
"A friend has oalled to our attention
the following iavory paragraph from
the st. Joseph Herald: "lf St.
Joseph is to DO vast hog pen, why not
fence it in and appoint certain council
men who have laundering for hogs, r.
h ,rdsmen? This might be good invest
ment for the city, and lower the price of
pork. Look at this question philosophi-
cally, for n moment. Suppose tho city
council could throw 100000 hogs on
the market ut once, woul it not fetch
bacon and hams down to living rates 1t
wouldn't cost the city anything to fatten
those hogs on, save, perhaps, few bushels
Of corn just before killing time. They
could feed around in the gardens. Early
potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, radishes, sweet
corn, ETC., would keep them In good condi.
ton through the summer. And be 'ides
bringing down the prices of pork, thus
beneiitting the poor, SEQ what revenue
would pass into the city treasurJ." We
call this wise suggestion to the praycrful
attention of our city council.
