Fastest Time on Record.

On the 14th inst. Mr.. Bonner's
young stallion, Startle, driven by
George Hopkins, trotted half a mile
on the Fleetwood Park in the marvel
lous time of :0411SS. This is the fastest
half mile by two seconds ever made
in harness on the Fleetwood by any
horse of any age. Indeed, it is the
fastest half mile by two seconds ever
made anywhere by any horse except
Dexter, who once trotted half mile
in exactly the same time. Startle was
timed by Thomas Carpenter, of Hart
ford, Mr.. Gillender, Mr.. MCGOWAN,
and other gentlemen. On Friday last
he trotted full mile on Prospect
Park in 2:192 timed by Commodore
Dodge and Messrs. Fletcher and Hoag-
land. Startle is brother in brood to
Dexter. Mr.. Bonner paid $4,000 for
him in the fall of 1870, but to-day
good judges consider him worth
100000.

HIRAM.

The prospect for an abundant appl'
crop never was more promising thar
at this time. fsThe oldest inhabitant'
has no recollection of seeing soemany
blossoms, nor so many trees in full
bloom. Should no disaster happen
the size of the fruit must necessarily
be very small. Peaches, cherries
plums. and ounces also promise q
good yield.
Considerable croaking has been
heard on account of want of rain, but
fears of drouth have been dispelled
and oar farmers now wear cheerful
countenance. Last Wednesday we
had fine shower, and again Satur-
day night, with warm clearing wealth
er, and the ground wet enough for
all purposes.
Mr.. Ollie of this place, and Mr..
Pierce of Sharon, Pa, have commene-
ed drilling for coal; but at this wri-
ting have not found the much coveted
mineral. They have combined com
fort with business, by locating their
drill under the wide spreading branch
es of a fine maple, upon the premises
of II. p. Hutchinson. a few days
will test the matter, and in the mean
time, we will all hope tor the success
of the undertaking.
Prof Wakefield left last week on
an exploring expedition up the Vel
lowstone River, and will be absent
about six months. The expedition
will leave Omaha sometime this week.
An attempt was made to burglari-
ously enter the house of w. M. Dyson
last week, but the burglars were
frightened by some of the family re-
turning home late in the evening.
They will meet with a hearty and cor
dial reception the next time the at
tempt is made. From the nature of
the weapons they left in their hasty
retreat, we presume they intended
business in case they came to close
quarters.
From observations made during a
recent trip through Stark, Wayne,
Holmes and Coshocton counties, we
can say that the wheat crop is far more
promising to this vicinity than i'll the
counties named, where. we judge,
there cannot be more than one-fourth
of crop.
Mr.. Brison Ollie of this place has
sold his. trotting gelding Red Oak"
to Joseph Perkins of Cleveland, for
$l400. Mr.. Perkins expresses him
self well pleased with his purchase.
Mr.. Ollie is an experienced horseman,
and can see the good and inferior
qualities of horse little better than
any other man. H.

teachers, Institutes

| Mr. EBIToR: In your issue of The
8th inst. is a very pertinent query, sc
far as concerns the taxpayers of the
county, but exceedingly intpertiaenl
] in the judgment of professional edu-
1cationists What was the cost of the
last years Institute ?"
Taxpayer should have known that
information upon all matters pertain
ing to our educational interests are
safely locked away from inquisitive
eyes of taxpayers in the State School
| Commissioners Bureau for t,co gears
before they are given to the people,
and then only in some half-dozen
copies of his report to each township.
The Teachers Institute of March,
1870, as per report of the Cornmis-
siener, was as follows:
Pupils in attendance, 125; cost each,
50 So; whole expense, S336 25; No.
of hours of institute, 81: costing
50 0S.S per hour.
But this was but part of the expense
to the taxpayers of the county. This
was supplemented by salaries of
county school examiners, in order to
test the amount of knowledge OBJ
tanned by the superior advantages of
sitting under the refulgent light of the
five professors during those 81 hours.
Expense of school examinations,
$l94 20; incidental expenses of ex-
aminations, S34 30; total, 1929. The
time consumed in the iacubatioa of
those intellectual, Brahma eggs was
much less in this than in many other
counties. Thus, it cost Henry county
81 "a per applicant; Cuyahoga,
81 40; while Portage was 55cents per
applicant. Thus in many instances
the single session or meeting of ex-
animation was protracted to three
days, at So per day.
But our board of young men, at that
time, did not know how rich q placer
there was in being school examiners.
So that the Institute, added with
school examinations, make the sum
total $565 35, paid by the taxpayers
of the county. Who are advantaged
by the teachers institutes of the State ?
Clearly not the teachers or children of
the State, but it is for class of pro-
fesscd educationists. What were the
facts as to the learned corps of profess
sors in that institute? Two of them
were the hired agents of two large
publishing houses in New York, re-
ceiving large salaries for introducing
their employers goods-book ped
dlers. One a high-school superin-
tendent, the subsidized stipendiary of
houses, receiving a salary
of $2,700 as superintendent of high
school; one was the State School
Commissioner, at large annual sal
ary. Most noble example of unselfish
devotion to a grand idea, intellectual
culture (bah to their own pockets). |
The cost of teachers institutes in the
State was S15,021 38, divided up
among school examiners, high-scho0l
and State School |
Commissioner.
The coming Institute can have the
of our own poorly-paid su-
perintendent, who, l see, has labored |
in this unselfish work in Medina
county, and, am happy to learn, has /
been appointed by the court to the
position of school examiner. hope |
the three laborious positions may not |
prove too arduous for him, and that
the united tfifies of consideration may |
retain his valuable services among us
for another wear. Reform has not |
been begun to o soon.

charred and smoking ruins. Dozens
of families were compelled to fee for
their lives. A quarter of million of

FALSE ALARM.-Abont half past
nine o'clock on Saturday evening the
quiet of our town was disturbed by
the alarm of fire, and in few min
utes the engine, hose cart, hook and
ladder truck were out, and withIsev-
eral scores of citizens were hurrying
through a drenching rain storm in the
direction of bright light in the South
west part of the village. After pro-
ceeding about half mile, the light
was discovered to proceed from a
burning brush heap. All hands beat
a hasty retreat, somewhat provoked
at the soaking to which they had
beed subjected, but thankful that
things were no worse.
