where the salary Of the Superin
tenGent OF Common Schools
comes from.
comes frOEsl

The election of County Superintendent
will take place on Tuesday, the 4th day OF
May next, at the Court House, in this place.
The question as to where the salary OF the
Superintendent comes from, and what bear
ing it had on the general school fund.- has
long bothered School Directors, and we must
acknowledge that we used to be of that mum
bcr.
But by referring to page III OF School
Laws and Decisions, aud paragraph 27O, 1t
will be found that the State Superintendent
has officially settled that question as follows
The salaries of County Superintendent
are payable out Of the gross amount of the
State appropriation. Each (Superinten
dent is not paid out Of the gross amount OF
dividend of State appropriation coming to hlS
proper county. This mode was adopted
during the first year of the office; has beer
ever since sanctioned by the Legislature IL
making the annual appropriations, and vii
be adhered to while the law remains un
changed. y
Thus it will be seen that the school money
appropriated to this county will not be les
sened of any pcrceptible account by the
superintendent salary whether it be one
thousand, twelve hundred, or fifteen hundred
dollars per annum. If the salary were in
creased FIVE hundred dollars, it would perhap!
not lessen the appropriation to this county
more than about seven dollars. This may
appear unaccountably strange to those wht
have not given this subject any particular at
tcntion, but it is nevertheless mathematical
fact; $500 divided among 10 counties vii
render this very clear.
The State Superintendent recommend
that the salary be fixed before balloting fo
Superintendent, as the subject of salar!
would be more likely to be considered on it
true merits at that time than at the close o
the convention.

WHAT are we to do for flowers on decora-
ton day? is a question easier asked than
answered. The times and season have not
been propitious for the shooting out of stems
and blossoms, and the prospects are that the
securing of sufficient supply, as was the
case last spring will be doubtful indeed
And yet there is a remedy for the trouble,
in this respect, which the backwardness of
our late season puts US to. If we cannot
secure flowers in bloom, we may procure
living stems which in time, make our soldiers
graves redoleut with beauty and spots lovely
from their exhalations of sweet perfume.
Our suggestion of last spring-to procure
roses and other permanent plants and plant
them on the grave of each departed hero
is as worthy of consideration now, and there
is sufficient time in which to secure them By
the Goth of May. 1t is a most fitting way il
which to show our respects for the honorec
dead-for while the fading, withering flower
is reminder of mortality to the living-tht
growing plant is no less reminder of thai
permanent remembrance of the deeds which
we reverence, which should be fast and un
alterably fixed in the heart of every true
American. This thing should be speedil!
considered and a subscription be at once
started with view of raising means to &C
complish the end.

The Wilmington Jubilee Singers gave two
of their unique concerts in this place last
week. and better satisfied audience never
greeted, more enthusiastically, caterers to
their amusement and instruction. The per-
formers were all negroes, and their program

its originality and eccentricity. a large audi
enee greeted them both nights, and all were
delighted and surprised at what they saw and
heard Untutored as they were in the science
of songs, their efforts were extraordinary
portrayals of deep devotion, of the broadly
ludicrous, and Of the sublimely sentimental.
They sing with freedom and ease that is truly
astonishing-and yet with a pathos with all
that touches the most sensitive chords of the
listeners heart Even when listening to their
most comic catches, one becomes, as it were,
entranced by the sublimity of sweet sounds,
and is literally carried away to the realms OF
pleasant dreamland. Enthusiastic themselves
they impart their spirit to all around them,
and tears fill the eyes of the audience or the
most rapturous applause burst, involuntarily,
upon the scene of their efforts. In the group
there are many fine voices, and their manage
ment of the spirit and harmony of the pieces
renderd, are in sweet accord with natures eff

When she wants dozen Of eggs, she simp-

then he cooks an omelet in borrowed hat
and converts a can of saw-dust into that
much white sugar, and similar cup filed
with Clipped paper is changed into hot cof-

its emptiness with a magic wand, and,
presto, change ! out comes a loaf of bread,
a fresh shad, two pickles, one pie, bucket
of coal, dish of hash with natural hairs in
it, and half dozen knives and works. This
is much cheaper than going to market
But Mrs. Hermann is not happy. When
her husband wants a gold dollar he myster-
iously picks it off the end of his wife's nose
And she is dissatisfied because she can't

The Williamsport, Pa, Gazette Of the
18th has an interesting article on the lum-
Der trade in that vicinity. Thus far the
spring has been favorable for the log float
ers, and the indications are that the entire
stock will reach the boom in safety, and
that the mills will start up about the first
of May under favorable circumstances. 1t
is estimated by well informed manufacture
ers that the total amount of stock to be re-
ceived in the Williamsport and Lock Ha-
ven booms will not exceed 250,000,0 900 feet.
At present it is thought there are about
"a, ,000,0 900 feet in the Williamsport boom,
and the logs are coming lively. According
to official reports made to the Lumber
Exchange, the stock on hand at Williams

During the year 1874 the shipments Of
lumber from Williamsport, by rail and canal
reached 36,806,26 feet, decline of only
$3.50, 200 feet under the shipments of 1873
The shipments from other points on the
West Branch brought the total for 1874
up to 298 1872 1884 feet, For the firs
quarter Of 1875 the shipments from
Willamsport foot up 22,941 $50 feet, {
decrease, as compared with the same period
in 1874, of 29, ,499, 149 feet This fallins
off was caused by the depressed condition
of the lumber market during the winter
