Our Public School.

In company with several members OF
the School Board, and other visitors, we
gave the school 4 surprise" visit on
Friday afternoon. As there was no
chance tor preparation by the school, the
visitors were treated TO a sight OF the
school and its workings as ordinarily in
progress at that particular time, with the
exception that in the departments OF
Messrs. Alexander and Wilkerson the
exercises of the day had about closed,
and, for the benefit of the visitors, spe-
cial exercises were gone through with,
to the credit of both scholars and teach
ers. The school is thoroughly disci-
plincd, the system of teaching is excel
lent, and in all respects the institution is
in a condition rejecting great credit
upon the town, upon the SCHOOL, Board
who have it in charge, and upon the eff
cient Principal and teachers. Mr.. Cruik-
shank, the Principal, promises us a peri
odical report of the school, which will
be of great interest to our citizens.

Palmyra Grange Speaketh.

A memorial from Palmyra Grange in
this State has been laid before the
Legislature, praying As follows:
That the penalties imposed OF citizens
for non-paymcnt Of taxes, and all like
penalties, are unjust and tyrannicai, ia
yoring the officc holders and creditors OF
the State Al the expense and injury OF
the people, and that all such penalties
should he RENTED; that taxation is I'M
equal, oppressive and tvrannical; that
| the people cannot pay their taxes, and
that they (tlle grangers) will not sup
port for any future Legislature any man
| who does not labor in cool faith TO re-
Iuce the salaries and fees Of State Off
GERS and the amount of taxation; that
execution debtors and mortgagors of
| real estate should have the right To re-
deem their property sold nj Judicia!
| sales.
They demand that such debtors and
mortylgors should have two years in
in which to redeem.
That the legal rate of Interest should
not he more than six per cent. and that
any higher rate Of interest charged shall
work i forfeiture OF principal and in
tcreSt.
That the salaries Of State officers
| should be reduced ut least one-fourth
and in some instances one-third, and the
| fees of Shcritf-, Clerks, Collectors and
Probate Judges at least one-third.
That each county in the State should
paw its own criminal costs.
That the Office of County Superin-
tendcnt oi Common Schools should be
abolished.
That Boards of Education should he
prohibited from issuing bonds.
That the Legislature should regulate
the prices OF freight and passage on
railroads.
That real estate should be exempt
from taxation. and the amount of revenue
necessary for the administration of State
and county governments should he
| raised by the taxation of money, per-
| sonal property, railroads, banks and
| other corporations and companies, and
privileges.
That the financial con litions of the
| country, the scarcity OF money, the low
price of produce, all demand the strict
est economy.
That papers favorable ito the or
ganizltion OF oranges be requested to
publish.
Now, all of our Changers can not unite in
| asking all that is contained above. That
! which asks the adjustment of the Office
of Superintendent Of Public Schools,
fixing Il rate Of interest far below what
the use of money is worth, and exempt
ing real estate from taxation, and rails
ing revenue solely from tax on internal
improvement. is certainly not in good
Judgment. The balance will do very
we'll.

from tn. Register

Some time ago some inhabitants oil
Buhlsville became dissatisfied with their
town and they forthwith took up their
houses and removed them to the main
road, a mile or two to the east. and
named the new town Berlin or New
Berlin.
I'm this county the cost Of collecting
and treasuring the revenue is near
1900. This is the result Of me bung-
ling revenue law. We have two Off
GERS, Il Collector and Treasurer, whereas
one man can do the duties of both Off
ces, and do them for less than one-halt
the pay they both get. Twelve hundred
dollars would be ample salary for one
man to do the duties of both offices, and
There is no u competent man IN the
county that would not be willing to take
them for that sum.

Another Coal Oil Horror.

On Thursday morning Of last week
after Mrs. McGinnis, in st. Joseph, had
filled a coil oil lamp, the gallon can ex-
ploded. and the flaming contents envel-
oped the five occupants of the room in a
fiery fold. These consisted of Mrs.
McGinnis, her husband, and three
daughters-Annie, aged seventeen, Al
media, aged ten, and a sick babe eighteen
months old. Almeda leaped out at a
window and escaped serious injury.
The mother, although wrapped in
flames, flew to the assistance of her
helpless babe, snatched it from the low
bed and tossed it out the window. The
faithful girl received the charge, ran
with it to a bank of snow and ex-
tinguished the burning clothing. An
ME, a mass of fire. at first tried to
aid her mother. but being overcome, en-
deavored to escape. She reached the
hall, crawled up three or four steps and
then fell back upon the landing, leaving
remnants of her roasted flesh upon the
stairway. Mr.. McGinnis was covered
with flames. and ran wildly around in
the room, unable to see or do anything
at first. Presently he caught his wife
and threw h,r out at the window. then
ran though the hall and the kitchen. and
passed around to the front of the build
ing, every footstep being marked with
blood. There he was found by IIamil-
ton Kent and other neighbors, and
cared for. Joseph McGinnis, who was
on the second floor. ran down stairs in
time to see his sister fall senseless on the
landing, and thinking her dead, leaped
over her burning body. and hurried to
the assistance of his father. In his fight
with the deadly flames, his hands were
so badly burned that the flesh dropped
from the bones. Annie was literally
cooked to a cinder, and fingered in
awful agony until half-past IL, when
death kindly came to her relief. The
father was horribly burned. but did not
suffer so much rs the daughter, whom.
an hour later. he followed t the spirit
land. The mother is terribly burned,
but will probably recover. The babes
life vas despaired of. The foregoing
facts are CLEANED from the Gazette.
