Quito number of our citizens
made rush for tlse river on Wcdncs-
day last, under n tremendous state of
excitement, to sec two bodies said to
have been found there, and ut first
supposed to have been drowned, but
foul play was evident, as their throat
were cut from car to car. Anxious to
give the public q true statement Of
the affair, wo have tried to interview
every one Of the forty.two men that
went down, but whenever We broach
the subject, the invariablc answer is,
go to the or "Do let that
thing drop" Now We don't like to
push matters, but when forty-two men
leave their business, and hire horses,
or borrow buggics, to go mile of, to
sec two murdered persons, they ought
to give poor newspaper man Ill the
particulars. No inquest was held III

Monday. Thursday and Saturday
Report of the superintendent Of Pub
lie Instruction.

From an interesting outline of this
report, in the State Sentinel of the
4th, we clip the following:
The report is the most voluminous
one ever issued, occupying 344 pages,
besides an appendix OF statistical ta-
bles and index OF 76 pages, making a
book of420 pages, The frontispiece
is an excellent likeness and autograph
of Milton b Hopkins, deceased. The
first page after the title contains ex-
plicit instructions for the distribution
OF the work which should be carefully
carried out The increase of the
school fund in 1874 is S73,792 IL. ex-
ceeding the increase of 1873 by the
sum OF SS,S5l II. Another point is
that the lines and forfeitures collected
in 1874, amount to S64,091 II, against
S43,l7l 6l in the previous year. and
about double wha. they were seven
years ago, a fact which is due not SO
much to the increase of that source of
revenue as to industry IN collecting
exercised by the attorney general and
the county superintendents. The in
crease in the number of enrolled pu-
pills during 1874 is reported to be IA
4o.. The language of the report
pointedly and emphatically urges the
doctrine OF compulsory education in
these words: If moral and religions
influences fail, if persistent efforts of
county superintendents accomnlish
this desirable object only in part, it
then becomes the duty of the state to
adopt coercive measures" The
strong doctrine of the report indors-
ing county surperinteudency has been
presented in part by the Sentinel,
which published an extended extract
from this chapter. Yet the full argu-
ment, a. well as the remarks upon
county boards and township institutes
are worthy OF attention, especially by
all members of the legislature. The
important subject of drawing in
schools Is we'll presented and sustained
by high quoted authorities
