SCHOOL sUPERINrENDENr AND
GRAMMAR.


Mn. EDITOR :-On divers OCCASIONS have
observed, in articles published in the news
papers, the wretched grammar used Ivy some
OF the superintendent Of the public schools.
For instance, in such an article, appearing In
one of the city papers recently, composed
of four paragraphs, there occurred no less than
eight or nine grammatical errors.
In the first paragraph occurs this,
And very unjust both TO the members of
"the Board Of Education and to the many ex
cellent teachers in our schools"
| To what does both refer, or applyt
Again, in the second paragraph,
Being in nowise responsible for the
"article, and believing that the parties con-
"demned in Il know that did not and never
"had entertained such opinions
How can the first sim and the second sim
be made to fit dramatically in the positions
where they are placed in the sentence; and
how does ibid not and neUer had entertained
conform to any rule Of grammar or ofpunciu-
atlony
Again, in the third paragraph
Everybody ought to know that the making
"of rules and regulations for the schools
"belong to the board and to the committees
and not the superintendent"
| ask what il is in this sentence to whicl
=. the word belong refers? Does the word refer
to ''rues," regulations" or "schoolsf" O

On or aiont the first day of April next, The

A Man Travels Five Hundred Miles 10
XIII the Alleged BetrRyer of His wife.
HENRY ECKEi..
President Board llealil


From tie Nashville Bunner, Feb. i4tl.
William Singleton, who was employed in a
saw-mill al Shellmound, on the Nashville and
Chattanooga railroad, was shot at that place
on Monday afternoon by man named 4. T.
johnson, who halls from Geneva. H. John
sons tells the following story in yindcation Of
his conduct
"About a year and half ago Singleton
lived in Geneva. While there he became too
intimate with Johnson's wife, but soon after
left the place. Since that time he has been
corresponding with Mrs. johnson. The hus.
band intercepted their letters, and found them
such as ought not TO be written TO another
mans wife, nor answered by her lie there
upon determined to hunt Singleton up and
kill him."
ale arrived at Chattanooga on Monday
morning, and learning that Singleton was al
Shellmound, announced publicly thai he in
tended to kill him, and left for that place in
the afternoon. On arriving at Shelmound he
found Singleton at work. Advancing upon
him he cried I've come five hundred miles
to kill you :; took deliberate aim with his re-
volver, and fred five times at him, two Of the
balls taking effect in Singleton's breast, on
the right side, probably entering his lungs,
and one in the upper portion Of the thigh"
johnson was arrested, taken TO Chattanooga,
and lodged in Jail He said Singleton had
ruined his happiness Tor Ute, and brought dis
grace and shame upon him, and that ne had
not killed Singleton he had only halt accom-
plished his purpose.
Singleton was conveyed to Chattanooga
also, where he received proper attention at
tue residence of Perry Ransom. lnnamma.
ton had set in at three O'Clock Yesterday
morning, and it was believed that he would
/ not live twenty-four hours Singleton said
that he did not recognize johnson until he
commenced firing upon him. lie was highly
respected at Chattanooga, and his being so
deliberately shot down by johnson, without
any chance whatever TO defend himself
aroused good deal OF feeling among his
/ lends.

WILMINGTON HAS no SEED so great at
present as that of public Dispensary where
the poor may so and obtain medical advice
and medicine, when sick, free OF cost and
without the appearance Of soliciting aims or
charity. There are scores Of industrious, re-
spectacle poor families in thit city, who, when
sickness overtakes them find it difficult to OBJ
tain the needed succor and attention necessa-
nv, because of their slrais htened pecunlAry
condition, and hence have TO sutherland 90
suffer, in consequence. The city should have
a place where all such could apply for relief
without feeling the humiliation and sting
which their poverty must otherwise subject
them to. 1t is bad enough to be poor, but
when to this is added sickness and a total
inability to meet its narrowing consequences
il amounts almost to crime on the part oil the
authorities to neglect 10 make proper provl'
sons to meet such q state Of things. Itpasscs
from q legal to a humane christian duty,
which no man or set Of men can safely avoid
performing.
