GENTLEMEN In an examination OF
old papers, l find in the Wheeling Register,
vol. I, February oath, an account Of the
proceedings of the Educational Commit
Tee Of the House and Senate, to consider
the expediency Of abolishing the Office Of
CitySuperintendent for the Public Schools
OF Wheeling. As the almost perpetual
controversy respecting this office is now
before your Board, ask your attention
to an extract from the remarks OF Mr.,
George X. Wheat at the time referred to
"Mr. Wheat cOinCided with previous
speakers as to the uselessness OF the office.
That the Superintendent had at one time
been absent from his duties for three
months and had never been missed. No
question us to his whereabouts had ever
been asked by the Board. They hardly
knew they had Superintendent, and the
schools got along just as well without
him as with him."
For the three months absence he re.
ceived 1915, his salary at that time being
81 800 per year. The salary is not COM
planned OF as much as the Injuries grow
ing out of the office. The State and com.
munity are alive to the importance Of
education, forgetting the i'm portance Of
n corresponding moral education, and
the fact that Intellectual education and
culture is no guarantee against faIsehOOd,
crime and rascality.

BANK TAXATION.

The following report Of the taxation
upon the capital, deposits and circulation
OF banks and bankers appears as a sup.
plement to thereport Of the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue. Since the organi.
lation Of national banks the amount real.
ized from these sources to the close OF the
last fiscal year was S6i,OS0374; amount
realized during the last fiscal year S., ,27O,-
750; amount paid by national banks on
deposits alone during the period Of their
existence up to June 30, 1875, $30,0lS,-
OPS; amount paid during the last fiscal
year, 81, 3,427576. The Commissioner calls
attention to the exemption Of deposits in
savings banks. lie says by the existing
law deposits made by any one person are
not liable to tax unless they exceed
$4,000. II, says the Commissioner, de.
posts in tho so.called savings institutions
are thought proper subject for e3emp-
tiOn from taxation where they are enl.
plOyed with such profitable results, it
would be better to return to the rule
adopted by Congress in 1866, that where
deposits made by any one person arc in
excess Of $500 they were subject to taxa.

Rn1eS for HiTing Bees.

Allow no one to stir or make the least noise
while the bees are lighting. What Not
blow horn, or ring a bell, or drum on tin
pan, or throw dust or water? Not do any
thing? Yes, ready; just exactly do nothing
but keep still. Now, have followed this rule
in over eight hundred swarms have hived for
myself, and I tell you the broad fact, have
not lost single swarm in all that number.
Bees will not 90 two hundred feet from the
hive they come out of if you let all be perfect
ly quiet and there is anything to light on.
My bees not one out of hundred swarms 60
over one hundred feet before they always light
So it will be with your bees, reader. So make
it rule to have no stirring, nc noise, but all
quiet until they are well lighted. Then bring
out the hive from the cool cellar-where it has
been but day or two, lest it get damp and
moldy-neat and clean, and as you of course
hiving cloth, etc, ready, proceed to place your
ladder and platform in the tree or on the
ground, and other appliances, so that before
the last bee has lit you are ready to hive them.
Never put q swarm of bees directly into a
hive. You ask why not? Because If you do
the bees may not know it is a hive they are in,
but only think they have had q slight accident
or Jar while yet ON their lightinglimb or place.
So they will leave the hive and go off to the
woods, because they don't know they are hived.
Hence, you will place the hive so that when
shaken off the timb they lit on, they all have
to creep buzzing into the hive and all go vol
UNFAIRLY ~ on the inside of it. Then they all
will not make the mistake of thinking they
are not hived, but will know they have accept
ed hive.
You need not be very quiet or slow about
making bees 60 into hive. You minded the
bees till they lit, nov is the the time to change
and make them mind you. So a gentle rude
ness in shaking them off the limb is as good
as saying to them, "Becs, you have left your
lighting place" If they don't so in the hive
readily take dipper or fiat piece of shingle or
board, dip up a few, pint or so, and shake
them roughly close to the hive, as if to say.
"There is the hive, why don't you see it %
Then brush rapidly, but gently, the rest to-
wards the hive.
As soon as the most Of them are in, be ready
to remove them to their permanent stand.
Thus you avoid the coming out of a second
swarm, and the lighting and commingling of
the few bees always uneasy and flying about
the swarm, and who doubtless are the ones
that find and lead the swarms off to some hol-
low tree or log in the woods. These bees are
rarely over twenty or fifty in number-often
not ten of them.
Remember to shade the new hive from the
sun until the Matched brood is in the new
-Gern,antoavn Telegraph.
