Midnight Assault.

Nicholas Wagner, turnkey at the
county jail, whose residence is No.
~ College avenue, was attacked and:
seriously injured Saturday morning by
two men whose names are not given.
He had just come out from saloon
On the Lake Como road, at about ono
o'clock in the morning, and was step>.
ping into his buggy, when he received
blow on his face, apparently from a
partially sharp instrument, by which
his face was smashed fearfully, his
eyes were seriously injured, and he
was made insensible for q few mo-
ments. He was carried soon after to
the Minnesota Eye 1Dfrmary, where it
was discovered that tie under lid of
his right eye is entirely cut off, the
wound being two inches long and half
an inch deep. But, although the ball
fthe eye is badly hurt, his sight will
probably be saved. His left eye was
also injured, but not 80 seriously. II
is presumed it will be several weeks
before Mr.. Wagner will be fully recov-
cred.
A man named Carr was arrested on
suspicion OF being one Of the persons
whe assaulted Mr.. Wagner, and was
brought in at the police court this
morning, but his examination was
necessarily postponed on account of
Mr.. Wagner not being able to appear.
Up to the time of the assault Mr.. Wsg-
ner was accompanied by q party Of
tour friends, who were, however, yet
in the saloon when the affair occurred.
and could not identity his assailsnts

Cow. Davis Asks AID for the Grass.
hopper Sufferers-..Five Thousand
Dollars Voted.
The regular monthly meeting of the:
Board Of County Commissioners was.
held to-day.
Gov. Davis appeared before the
Board and made statement il REFER
ence to the suferiugs of the settlers in
the southwestern portion of the State
caused BY the grasshopper plague. He
said the people in five counties were
absolutely suffering for the want of
food, and that the evil had grown be-.
yond the power of private charity to
alleviate. He concluded by appealing
to the Board to appropriate the sum
Of $4,000 for the relief of those peo.
pie.
Gen. Sibley fully endorsed the state
ments of Coy. Davis. BE was in the
receipt of communications daily, and
he was of the opinion that if instant
aid was not extended, lamentsble
loss of human life would be the result.
He hoped the communication OF Gov.
Davis would be attended to.
Captain Berkey said that if the State
should give further aid, the State
should reimburse the county Of Ram
sey if this $1,000 was voted. He Gid
not think it would be just for Ramsey
county to vote this amount, and the
State to tax them afterwards.
Gov. Davis then handed in the fol-
lowing communication
To the Board of County Commissioners
After the hearing which you have
so kindly accorded to General Sibley
and myself, l respectfully ask an appro-
prlation Of $5, 900 from this county for
the relief of our destitute people on the
southwestern frontier.
Yours respectfully,
c. K. DAVIS.
RELIEF GRANTED.
The committee on ways and means
reported the following resolution which
was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The Board has been ed.
vised by the Governor of the wide
spread and deplorable destitution ex-
isting in some Of our northern coun-
ties And
WHEREAS, The Governor has appeal
ed to the County of Ramsey for the
necessary aid to relieve such Gestituts
ton.
Therefore be 1t resoZved, That the
sum Of i've thousand dollars be, and
the same Is hereby appropriated for the
use of the destitute settlers above
mentioned, such appropriation to he
drawn from the revenue funds and that
the proper order for such sum be drawn
in favor of the Governor and delivered
to him for tho purpose aforesaid
Adjourned to Wednesday.

friends hoped and expected, readily concede (;
but that il has proved the complete failure that
many claim am far from admitting. There
can be no question that the majority OF the
objections urged against 1t are not well con-
sidered. One would think from many things
said that the chief ann Of the system was an
increase of wages and an injury to the schools.
1t will serve no ones interest to maintain an
injurious system in our schools. On the con
trary everything that is opposed to the best in
terests OF popular education, whether II be the
superntendency tor anything else, should have
no supporters. But 1t is our duty to look well
TO the facts before we condemn the superin-
tendency, lest we do our schools an injury in
condemning. Said a gentleman to me few
days ago, "Do you not know 1t to be fact
that on the adoption OF the present system
the wages Of teachers almost Immediately
doubled? And doubtless the chief objection
to the system is that it has greatly increased
wages.
Perhaps an examination of this charge will
prove interesting. Il is fact that wages have
inc, sased greatly during the last ten years I;
but how much OF it is due TO the superintend-
ency?
We have no way OF knowing the average
monthly wages OF teachers before the year
1868. In that year means were provided for
ascertaining this, and the following statement
shows the amount each year since:
