Bay View Items.

i have done my very best, and failed;
failed to induce the members of our debating
club to lay hold of the vital questions per-
tanning to agriculture. l regret it exceed
ingly, but such is the fact, urging the pro-
priety of adhering strictly to it, or subjects
having a close connection, with all the
ardor of one who has the good of society at
heart, you may well imagine with what
feelings l realized the result. My hopes
somewhat frightened as | tried to impress
on their minds our duty to encourage mo-
nopoies, particularly that of railroads
leading from the West, as their eXorbitant
rates are all in our favor, indeed we were
about getting into discussion in regard
to the propriety of buying up the principal
lines with the view of regulating prices OF
grain, &c, to our satisfaction, all very
good, very good, says one, but Stokes is
convicted and shan't be hung, the Editor
of The Wing says he ought'n't, and he
shan't; and off he popped on to capital pun
ishment, what's to be done with such fel,
lows? Still III persevere.
AT Bethel NJ. P. Church there is a re-
vival of extraordinary interest going on.
There have been a number of conversions
and the altar is crowded every night. The
attendance is very large and the best of
order prevails. One man, very worthy
citizen, who had been seeking for several
| nights at the altar, was converted in his
stable, while attending to his horses. Not
used to such exercises they were somewhat
surprised.
! Mr.. Brown, of the firm of Ricards l.
Brown, is packing up, preparatory to his
! removal to the Old Dominion, where he
intends continuing the mercantile business
with increased facilities.
Report comes to me of serious nature
! from the neighborhood of College Green.
1t is said a certain teacher up that way,
reprimanded one of his pupils so severely
that physician had to be expressed for to
dress his wounds. This is wrong, brother:
thou shoudst deal more gently with the
erring.'
Last week we had wedding in the
south end of town, and the Thumpers :"
were there, humping away as usual on old
tin pans. 1t is said some got drunk and
few kept sober. Shame, boys.
Our minister has been very much in
disposed for some time-not being able to
fill his appointments. But he is quite able
to perform the marriage rite, and as he is
confined to his dwelling, those seeking
such services would do well to give him a
call. He being well posted in that line of
business does it pleasantly, strongly and
we'll.
Whether this is printable or not, l
don't know, Susie is fussing over some
new-fangled overskirt; and tongues it
sharply, which rather bothers me. Why.
how she blesses the fashion makers.

Proceedings of School Commissioner

Proceedings Of School Commissioners
The School Commissioners were in session
on Tuesday. F. S. Everist, S. J. England,
and George Biddle, who was appointed by
the court in place of G. W. Cruikshank re-
signed, qualified and took his seat in the
Board.
n. p. Manley, Geo. Ricketts, and Robt
Jaquette were appointed Trustees for
School No. 9, in the Third District-Pier-
sons grove. The Trustees of said school
house were authorized to have an out
house, not to exceed cost of $40, put up.
The Treasurer was ordered to pay Jas. l..
Chamberlain $25 additional salary for term
ending Nov ember, 1872.
The report of L. C. Williams, teacher Of
School No. 6, in the Second District; Pivot
Bridge school, not included in the Com
missioners' Report of last term, was ex-
amined and the Treasurer ordered to pay
him $1o4.1O.
Bill for advertising, $31.27, ordered to be
paid.
Miss Ida c. Cameron, having taught the
Grove School, in the 9th District, the Fall
term without having teachers certificate,
was allowed regular teachers salary for
the same, on motion of Commissioner
England; although the Board do not intend
to make this instance of precedent for
future neglect of the law in reference to
examination of teachers. Miss Ida went
through the customary examination and
received a certificate authorizing her to
teach and draw pay without informal pro-
ceedings.
Mr.. J. T. Slicer entered complaint against
teacher of Butler school, in the 9th Dis
trict, for practising on King Solomon's re-
commentator. Served him right, was the
Judgment of the Board.
Miss Lizzie w. Martin, was examined
and awarded teachers certificate.
The teacher of New Leeds school was
authorized to reduce the book fee for the
present quarter in consequence of the time
lost by repairing school house during the
last quarter.

Mad Dog 1.-The cry of mad dog Wa"
raised in our streets on Monday, and the
pursuit of rabid canine commenced. A
ye. ritable mad dog did make his appear

of al, the children in town, and bit several
dogs: among them, it was reported, are
Mr.. Charles W. Maxwell's, Mr.. Alexan-

her dogs. The animal succeeded in

is probable that tender-hearted dog owners

and especially children.

Tho Supreme Court Of Michigan, in the
case OF Charles Kitson rs. The Mayor ct al. Of
Ann A1bo1, has decided that any municipality in
the State may impose upon the business OF
saloou-keepeIs q license tar, without violation
OF tho true intent and meaning Of the State
Constitution.
The tendency OF pnblic opinion in New
found1and is strongly indicated by the fact that
the new parliament which Ia soon to assemble
Is nearly unanimous for pressing the indepen-
dence OF the island fo far as the Dominion is
concerned. OF the thirty members composing
the Parliament, all but two are opposed to the
Confederation. The only remains Of British
authority are nominal Governor and soli-
tn1y Union Jack over his residence. The sym
pathiea Of the people tend toward annexation
to the United States, and it is believed the ae-
ton of the coming Parliament will be favorable
to the project. ...s
