A COOP FARH.-Our friend, Mr.. Oliver
Vest, sold his farm in Perry township, in
this county, on the west side of the river,
last spring and has since been looking for
q healthy and desirable location, mostly
in the west, but not finding . place in
Illinois to suit, considering improvements,
return and buy healthy and good farm
in Old Molly Stark. Some days ago Mr..
Yost ascertained that Jacob ]. Bahaey
would sell his magnificent farm, q miles
south east of Asssillon on the RIchville
road, and the purchase was completed on
Thursday oflast week. The farm is one
Of the most eemplete and valuable in the
county a. to buildings running water, or
chard, timber and contains 1913 acres.
Recent Developments show too that the
farm is 9nderlsid with coal and limestone,
or curse so desirable and valuable q farm
in Stark County commands q good round
price, but taking all things into considers
tion, is really cheaper than most farms in
the west. The price Of the farm Is Sl2b
an acre, amounting to over twenty one
thousand dollars, but when we consider
that the buildingsLar are worth over n
third the price of the place, 1t Is really 3

The CRAMMIHe SYsTEM-Baltimore
has wisely decided not to receive in her
high school for girls any children under
u years of age. And what Is good for
the children of Baltimore in this respect
would be beneficial for little boys and
girls all over the land. There is too much
examining IN all our schools. Learning is
an excellent thing so is eating: but there
is 8 mental as well as q physical dyspep-
STA, and the former Is by far the worse
disease of the two, and 1t is absolutely
barbarous to make helpless children the
involuntary victims of brain Diseases

NEW School BUIIBIEes@We see that
a bill has been introduced into the Begis-
lature to authorize gu School Board to
borrow money for school house purposes.
If anything gives character and Is an hon
or to a place, it is good schools; and next
comes the school buildings. We have
good schools, and several very creditable
ward buildings but the old building on
West Tuscarawas Street, never well adap-
ted for its purpose, has In its dilapidated
condition, become very much below par,
and almost a disgrace to u city. This
should speedily give way to a building,
which, while not e~xtravagant would be
an ornament TO the city, and for the
smaller children, two OF three more ward
buildings, one in southeast and two in
western part of the city, seem to be badly
needed. The proposition is to Dor
row the money needed, so that Its
payment may be gradual extending over
a term of years, and be met without ma
terially increasing the burden Of taxa
lion. Such is calculation Of the Board Of
Education. 4.

HALF PAST TEE-is the hour fixed by
the Council for shutting off street lights.
We appreciate the motive of the members
of the Council in fixing the hour thus
early. City gas bills are a heavy item of
expense. But when We consider that l0R
P. M. is the hour of arrival for the last
train east this would seem to be full early
to shut off the street lights. Other
points might be considered IN this con-
nection,S for light on the streets may be a
very Important matter almost any or
every, night. Sometimes trans are bella
ted and the statistics oflarge cities show
that lighted streets through the night
have much. to do in preventing CRIME:
However, we have no wish to find fault
with the action Of the Council, knowing as
we do that the motive is to economist and
curIail expenses wherever possible. Still
it is not advisable to make mistakes even
in this laudable direction. 7

LAW Is LAw.-On Tuesday last the
Democrat Office for once, furnished the
Mayors court some business. Mr.. J. g..
Whiting, who has been IN our employ for
years, will get OF a spree every now and
then, and when in that condition, Is ugly,
low and utterly vile. Patience and en-
durance will become exhausted IN time
with filthy and Infamous practices, and
having the proof this time the junior had
Mr.. Whiting taken before the Mayor,
where he plead guilty and was fined $40
and costs-$13 in all. About noon Mr..
Whiting visited our establishment and,
still having a little of the whisky-devil in
him, went for US in anything but terms
polite, although we repeatedly requested
him to go away. His epIthets induced the
younger son, despite our opposition, to ad-
minister in the case, all which cost him SIS
and costs-cheap enough he thought. We
concluded the days doings" by having
Mr.. Whiting arrested for using profans
language, o~pprobrIous terms, threatening
to shoot US &c. A hearing was had and a
full history of Mr.. Writings bad conduct
given to the court, The defendant made
no defence, but through his lawyer, threw
himself upon the mercy of the court and
he was fined three dollars and costs. The
conclusion is that the Democrat establish
ment shall hereafter be run throughout
with sober and honest men. .

ARREsTs.-At the instance of Louis
Schafer, Esq, on Monday last about 1
o'clock three school boys, u to IA. were
arrested for lettering at his Opera corner
and disturbing and molesting him
in his Office. 1t seems that In
his rage, Mr.. Scbaefer pointed q cooked pis-
toll at the boys, and but for the presence
of H. 2. Fogle might have shot. Police
man Shine happening along was ordered
to nab the naughty boys and did SO but
they were sOon allowed to pass on to
school. Warrants however were issued
and on the demand of Mr.. Schaefer the lads
were arrested again about 8 p. m. at
school and brought before the Mayor. OF
course the parents and friends knew
nothing about the affair till after a hear
ing was had and the boys were fined five
dollars and costs, and not having the
money we're summary and promptly
sent TO prison.. 1t is proper to say that
the policeman did accompany one of the
boys, young Killian, to the shop to his
father who would do nothing for his son.
Young Killian, it seems by Fogle's testi-
mony, had disturbed Nj. Schaefer's door.
We could not learn that the other boys,
young Valleley and John McCurdy, were
doing anything. The little McCurdy boy

and all who know him will declare. The
boys, we are glad to say, were released
that evening, the Mayor RENTING the
fine but collecting the costs. 1t strikes
US that if the boys were really and clear
ly guilty. and had had a fair trial, the
ine was quite as important in the eye of
the law as the costs. But we do not wish
to be captious nor to find fault. We must
say, however, that while the law should
be enforced to protect person and proper
ty the accused have rights also, especially
If they are children. The law should not
be enforced and used to crafty crazy NAL
ice or mean revenge. We are by no
means of that class who regard and treat
all boys as bad and depraved and fit sub
jects for abuse and Ill treatment on all
and every occasion. Besides, We believe
there Is a law against pointing cooked and
loaded pistols at boys, women, or men.
