COUNTY SCHOOL LEvY.-At a meeting OF
the Board of Supervisors Of Alexandria coun-
ty, held at the Court House, yesterday after
neon, the Superintendent of Schools, as Prcsl-
dent of the County School Board, laid before
the Supervisors the estimates tor lS75-'76;
whereupon the amounts asked for, . cents on
the 500 for the county; l9 cents tor Jetter-
son District 80 cents for Arlington, and 10 cents
for Washington were levied, by unanimous
VOTE Taken as whole, the county OF Alex
dria has, probably, better schools than any
other county il the State. The teachers are
all persons Of high qualifications, and, mostly,
Of long experience, and the sessions last eleV
en- school months, while no other county runs
its schools more than ten. The teachers, too,
are always promptly paid, which, we believe,
is not the case elsewhere.
A new colored school has been opened, with
about fifty pupils, just beyond the city limits
1t is called Scott School, out OF respect Tor
the memory of the late Sylvester Scott, Coun-
ty Superintendent before the war, and Is very
acccptably taught by Miss Mary d. Lane.

In our issue of Sept. 10Th we gave an
account of calf in Southern Minneso-
ia, that was named "Donnelly," and
our correspondent said that the cal
was SO disgusted with the name that he
sickened and died. We remarked, at.
the time, that we didn't "bclieve the
owner gave that calf half enough to eat
He felt spiteful at it. Nothing that
bears our name," we remarked, sis apt
to die as long as the provender holds
out
At the State Grange meeting at Man
kato, last week, we met the owner Of
that calf, H. E. Mayhem, Esq, Of Dele
van, Faribault county, and he charmed
us with the information that the calf in,
question did not die but that as soon
as he realized whose name was con-,
ferred upon him, he plueked up spirit,
commenced to eat voraciously. just as
we promised, and is now the finest calf
on the farm, and the bully Of the cattle.
yard.
Mr.. Mayhem had, at the same time
he named the sickly calf after us, .
splendid-looking heifcr calf, which he
named "Abernethy," on account Of the
sex. The poor, doomed animal began
to pine at once she seemed to be dis
gusted with the world and with her
self; she sulked in fence corners she
hung around manure heaps; she grew
shaggy, dirty and lousy; and at last,
IS Mr.. Mayhem expressed it, "she
dropped her head and tail and laid
down and died."

if you would have your calves and
babies vigorous, healthy, hearty, happy

THE TARIFF ON WOOL.

The high tariff on wool was the tub
thrown to the agricultural whale.
When we complained Of the high tariff
on manufactures. New England an
swered us, .'look at the tariff on weol;
zoe how we are encouraging one of the
great industries Of the West.
Is this prcteuce true! We quote as
follows from the Chicago Tribune. the
leading Republican paper of the West ::
The country can proitably produce all
grades OF wool. This Is proved by the IN
dustria history OF the world. 1t is idle,
then, for tariff TO try to stimulate the pro-
duction Of all grades. Our tariff tries this,
however, and with some remarkable resu Its.
The production OF coarse woods, which are
very little protected, has steadily increased.
The production OF the finer qualities, which
are very heavily protected. has steadily de-
creased. Thus the annual clip OF nne me-
| rino wsol has fallen st least 30 per cent
since 1865 In the States cast OF the Misslss-
| inn; the clip of fleece wool hAS been reduced
from lac. .OO0 600 pounds in 1867 to ll5.UO,
| 600 n mnds in 1878 Even If the tariff bad
| fulfilled its aim and encouraged the pro-
duction of the finer grades, it would have
ben. fitted only about per cent OF the wool
growers, and, of course, very mucf
less percentage Of the whole people 70
the sake of this trifiinz fraction the nasiol
has been heavily taxed since 1851, and nov
it appears that even the traction has no
gained thereby,
The natural conse Iue1oes have followed
Tne wool N trade OF America is in pre1ari
ous condition. Elsewhere the trade Is pros
perUus. II thrives in England. in France, Il
Geruany, in Austria, which suffers from

HON. EBENEZER AYREs.

We quote elsewhere the comments OF
the St. Paul Dispatch upon the election
of this gentleman to the important
Office Of Lecturer Of the State Grange.
1t became understood in the State
Grange, that great stalwart man had
insulted Mrs. Ayres, the other day..
while the crowd was dispensing from.
the Cottage Grove Grange, and Mrs..
Ayres knocked his hat of, whereupon,
at the instigation Of Warren Furber
Mr.. Ayres' competitor in the late elec-
ton for the Legislature, this broad
shouldcred, able-bodied man, forgetting
that his mother was woman, had
Mrs. Ayres arrested ior assault and
battery, with intent to 'scratch his
brains OUT Heaven save the mark j
and the Justice fined her $25 andc osts!!
It is a wonder that Furbcr did not tele-
graph at once to Grant for regiment OF
U. S. troops, to protect Cottage Grove
able-bodied men from the danger OF
annihilation at the hands Of this terri
BILE hat-smashing woman.
Every man knows that this whole
thing was piece of political Persecu-
tion, and an attempt to degrade .
prominent citizen through his wife,
simply becase he dared to run for Office
against tn Furber family. Warren
Furber pettifogged the case in the
Justices Court and plead for the heavi-
est possible fine on poor Mrs. Ayres.
He is candidate for Speaker Of the
House Of Representatives.! Think OF
that!
The State Grange showed their ap-
, probation of this whole thing by elect
ing Mr.. Ayres to the office of Lecturer;
} place he will dignity and honor; and
: the clique that thought to stamp him
down into the dirt can now ''gnaw file
and flee unto the mountains Of Hepsi.
