this city, aged 10 years, 3 months, days.
With uieekness, thou didst almost suffer
death
For months before the fatal hour arrived,
Still holding on to life, in thy latest breath,
With little Show that it would e'er survive.
Diseased had worked its way too surely Ia thy
frame
And the good God who gave US thee
In mercy 20 thy suffering did reclaim
Thy soul from mortal letters to be free.
FAREWELL YOUR short though moral life
Assures us you have gained
Immortal rest in that paradise.

tricts- within Dir. Powers jurisdiction,
there are some he has not visited at
all during his whole term of Office, or
if at all, not more than once during
the two years, and that quite recently,
Much complaint has been made by the
people interested against sSIr. Powers
for his NEGLECT of duty in this respect.
This city is a separate Superintendent
District, and has Superintendent of
It's own, so that Mr.. Powers is not re-
quired to bestow any labor upon our
city schools; and there is no good rea-
son why he should not have visited
each Of the other schools Of the coun-
ty, and long enough to have thorough
y acquainted himself with them and
their merits, at least twice in each
year Without doing this he could
not understandingly discharge his re-
sponsible duties to them. and has not.
The County superintendent should be
a person anxious to labor for the cause
of education, for the advancement Of
the schools, and have the time and
ability to do SO. The teachers and
school boards require his advice and
encouragement the pupils need his
