CLIFTON ITEMS.

Asad accident occurred at Clifton Furnace

drowning Of John Taylor, Of West Columbia
The particulars as near as we can learn them,

salt barrels, and missed lis hold aud went in
over his depth, The FIST time be came up on
tbe outer e6gsO VI die bat and rose hot again.
People at once commenced dragging the river
Tor The body which was recovered in the even
ing short distance below The funeral took
place from his mothers residence in West Col.
umbia, Sabbath afternoon.
"a SOCIAL EXCLUSION" THAT DIDS'T TAKE
PLACE.--Last Thursday one oil the Clifton
sports" took il into his head that it would be
nice thing to have moonlight trip up the
river" so the Fery.bOat Acorn" vas char.
tered, and last Friday eve was selected. He
requested the gents to all bring their ladies.--
The leader Of the Russian Band" was Motif.
ed that himself and companys services would
be needed. Everything was lovely Every.
one was talking about the grand trip" Fri.
day was beautiful day. The moon arose as
usual" in the evening. But, alaSl from some
unknown cause, the ladies failed to put in an
appearance, and the geutlemauly manager not
having the necessary dough" to pay Tor the

FROM PUTNAM,


WSTlELD, July 18Th, 1878.
Editor Register
Knowing that you consider your paper, not
only a Point Pleasant REeISrER but also the
Putnam county ADvooArE, have taken It up
on myself TO write you occasionally from the
latter stand point.
IT, you were now TO enter Buffalo School
District, at three Of its most public places you
would find u notice setting forth the fact that
IN the second Friday in August a vote will be
taken "for or against" establishing a High
School 10 be located at Buffalo, to be support
ed jointly BY Buffalo and Grant Townships, o.
this county, and AtbuCkle and Union Town
ships, Of Mason county.
With your permission, will write you se'
res Of letters on the subject Of this school, and
will remark
LIST. The new school law very wisely makes
provision for the establishments Of such
school jointly by several school Districts in the
same, or adjoining Counties. Then so far as
the law is concerned this is perfectly lrgii.
mate, ISee PIP 10 and following New School
Law.
This is very wise provision for il will &C.
compliSh two ends
Ist. Itdiminishes the taxation in any onOdis.
trict which might be necessary to itssupport
provided IL was sustained by the District
alone.
End It gives to number Of Districts most
Of the advantages which might be derived
from it by one establishing It, As the High
School" is intended to be a strife between the
Graded School, and the College, and as It is to
draw its supply Of scholars from the primary
school, il we wish 10 Gil up this gap which
would, without The high school, exist. The
establishment of such school jointly by sew.
eral districts, is perfectly natural and proper,
for the several supporting districts will then
supply The requisite number Of Schol'
ars which might not be furnished by any one,
aud thus without any tuition fees being paid
by scholars from any of the districts. For the
Law provides that any scholars received from
a district not contributing 10 the support Of
such school shall be charged tuition fee.
As it is my intention to wri,e two other let.
ters 90 this subject before the election, l will
close with the expressed wish that you for the
time being at least, resolve yourself into the
Putnam County ADVOCATE.
Very respectfully,

to select the ground and locality for The

we trust they will be governed by central

the county. But three places have been
suggested as afordiug suitable grounds,

some eight miles from town. One is to
secure the beautiful grove just above MI.

the other is to purchase or lease from Mr..
