The Sch Dol Question.

EDITOR PPEss:-In an article published
in your paper, a few weeks ago, signed
"Justice," your readers were informed
that the school board, refused to sign {
/ petition in order that the question NIGH
be submitted to the electors, whether the
number Of members of the board should
be increased from three to six members
q. the revised law provides, and that the
board intended to take a certain dodge
and themselves appoint three additional
members, for fear the people might not
just elect such as would suit their pur-
pose, &c. When the writer read the ar
ticle, be thought there surely must be a
mistake, for men having at all the best
inte est of the schools at heart, would
take no such position. But since, he
has been forced to believe it.
Such a petition has been presented at
least three times 70 the honorable board
and each time rejected, and petitioners
in some cases insulted. This as Gus
tice" said, is an outrage, and should at
once claim the attention of the people.
We ask in all candor who that has any
qualification to be a member OF such
board would under the circumstances,
think of accepting such an appointment
from that board. We venture to say
that not a single man with such qualifi-
cations in the place, would be little him
self so much. And what will the result
be of this conduct of those three men
who presume that they have more wis
dom, than all the balance of our citizens
combined? First every attempt to build
a new school house, We so much need,
will be defeated just as it has been in the
past, on account of the board. Second
our schools will run at the same poor
rate they have been running at in the
past. And our scholars, who ought to
have superior advantages, will come up
far in the rear even of many of the
scholars of our country schools as must
have been plainly evident to all who
attended the late examination. AS the
term of Office of one of the present in
cumbents expires next Monday, would
it not be we'll for the people to take up
a good competent man, whom the peo-
pie can trust, and elect him? We need
but the signature of one member of the
board to bring this question before the
people, and this opportunity should not
be permitted to pass without placing
such a member in the board.

Prof. Irwin closed his first course Of
twelve lessons in Penmanship, Saturday
evening, with entire satisfaction to a class
Of nearly fifty scholars. At the close of
the term, many of the scholars were
anxious to take another course, and pre-
vailed on the Professor to return (pro-
yiding they would make up class for
for him), after teaching a class whom
he had promised. We understand they
have made up the class, and the Pro-
fessor will return. There is room for
several more. Let all who can, improve
this opportunity to become proficient in
penmanship. AS teacher, Prof. Irwin
has no superior. His explanations are
lucid, and the system is so thoroughly
instilled into the mind, that it need not
be forgotten in years of business life
The vast improvement made during his
fFst course Is abundant proof of the
above statement. The class appointed a
committee, consisting of A. c. Elster,
DR.. Kagay and George Matthews, to ex-
anime specimens, and decide on the i'm.
Provement made, who reported several
instances of more than 1000 per cent
The highest per cent. given was 1850, II

One was placed in nomination on Tues

evening. The Grst-composed of r. S.

Gassel and Jonas Bowman for Council
q. T. proege for Treasurer, and w. c.

regarded as the Crusade ticket.
Since Droege is on both tickets, it IL

or wife her husband, on the Lords day
the party in fault shall be punished al
the discretion of the court of magis-
trates."
And il it is recorded in the early
history of the Puritans of New England
that
"The Quakers were whipped, branded
had their ears cut of, tongues bored
with hot irons, and were banished upon
pain of death in case of their return,
/ and actually executed on the gallows'
"Adieu" would have been a leading
man in those days.
The same spirit of intolerance is still
alive in our midst; the fanatics of to-day,
who are urging on the Crusade, are the
descendants, in principle, of the Puri-
tans; the same intolerance marks their
movements; they say whoever is not in
! favor Of this movement, is in favor of
drunkenness and crime-thus attempt
/ ing to brow-beat men into support of
| their silly and fanatical schemes.
The measures and movements of the
Crusaders are calculated to promote dis
sension, strife, bitterness and ill-will be-
tween those who have heretofore been
good friends-God grant it may come
to nothing worse. Brother is arrayed
against brother, father against son, friend
against friend, everywhere lines are
drawn, the two factions are ready to
come to blows, at the slightest provoca-
cation, and were it not for the chivalry
inherent in mans nature, to protect, de-
fend, and treat with courtesy, woman at
all times and places, do not doubt we
should, ere this, have heard of the most
terrible riots, accompanied with all the
horrors attendant upon such scenes.
There are laws enough to punish men
for all the wrongs they may commit
But say these fanatics, the laws cannot
be enforced. Well, suppose they cannot,
are you going to substitute song and
prayer for law?
These Crusaders remind me of men
going to sea without compass or rudder,
drifting out on the unknown waste of
waters-God knows where.
For Mr.. "Adieu's" benefit, / give the
following extract from a sermon by Rev
DIR. Thomas of the First Methodist
Church of Chicago; he will see that one,
at least, of his spiritual leaders does not
agree with him in his fanatical views
He said:
"By a course too radical, the temper
ance cause commands the support of on
ly the most radical minds, whilst the
solid, thinking masses stand aloof, not
from want of interest so much as be-
cause they cannot consistently endorse
extreme measures, and do not care to
encounter the abuse that would come from
opposing them, for fanatics haze an easy
tcdy Of calling erery man an enemy to the
cause, be IL temperance or religion, tgho does
not stand WHOLLY on their pLatform''
Trusting that "Adieu" may give the
above quotation a careful perusal, bid
him an affectionate farewell.

Novel Explosion.

Mr.. George w. Strong, living at Lo-
gan, Ohio, bought, some time since, a
new cook stove. After it had been in
use few days, Mrs. S. kindIed fire in
the stove preparatory to getting supper,
one evening, and as she was about ieav.
ing, terrible explosion took place, blow
ing pots, kettles, stove-lids, &C., about
the room promiscuously, and creating a
great sensation in the neighborhood, but
luckily, doing no further damage.
1t was afterward ascertained that the
explosion was caused by powder which
had been used in mining the coal, which
becoming damp was not ignited when
the blast was set off. This powder, by
some means got into Mr. SIS coal pile,
and thence into the stove, with theresult
above stated
Mr.. S. states that the stove is a re-
markably heavy and strong one. If it
had been one of the light stoves, now in
common use, the consequence might
have been very serious
The name of this stove is the ''Sensa-
tion," said to be the best in use, and sold
exclusively by G. II. Stafford, Somerset.

Mr. Hempsted, the artist, who was alb

week, was necessitated to remain away
longer than he expected to be detained.
To make good the lost time, and in or

his services, he will defer his final de-
parture from our village until Thursday
evening the 9th, when he will positively
leave. Those who desire pictures from
really first-class artist, should make a
note of this, and call upon Mr.. H. be-
fore the time named.
