A strange fish is found in the noisy
maigre. ltmakes a strange cooling moan
accompanied by a sharp croak that car
attains q length OF about six feet, and
weighs forty pounds. What these sounds
are ior we know not, but ON the principle
that all things are for some particular
purpose, they must have meaning.
That the imperfect voice OF the fish is
used to express discontent and pain ]
have no doubt, as in numerous expert
ments on fish found in the Cult OF Mex
leo called the grunt, l found that the
voice was used and modulaten as with
other animals. When touched with the
Knife the grunts that it gave vent to

it's means and sobs we're almost disa-
greeably human.

Capt. Boyton's last experiment with
his liie-saeing apparatus on the Irish
coast Shows that while it is a valuable
aid in an emergency, there is nothing in
it to justify a reckless exposure to the
dangers OF the seas. Though only fifteen
miles from land, instead 0i 200, as he
originally desired and intended to be,
Capt. Boyton was IN sufficiently peril
Gus and uncomfortable position-in dan
ger OF being carried out to sea, or ofbeing
dashed TO pieces on rocky shore. Pro-
lection against the cold and wet Capt.
Boyton's apparatus gives, but in a storm
the difficulty of steering and propelling
it adds to The terrible feeling of helpless
ness and isolation the physical danger of
destruction as soon as these other perils
are escaped by nearing shore. But
though this invention does not fulfill the
idea of making shipwrecka a pleasure and
reducing the elements to playthings, it
affords very valuable security to those
who may be forced by Unfortunate cir
cumstances to avail themselves Of its
protection.

BRooKEvILLE, Sept. Z, 1875.
Mr.. Editor A How me flor the first and
last time) to make few remarks concerning
the public school at Brookeville, and your
correspondent, the Taxpayer"
In the first place the'so-called taxpayer does
not own one foot OF land, and has no children
old enough to attend school. | think when
he insinuates on demagogne he should remem-
Der the old maxim, persons living in glass
houses should not throw stones;n not that |
wish to compare him with the 'hanker after
small Offices"
Taxpayer also states that during the
whole of five years or longer there has been a
great dissatisfaction in regard TO the eduea-
ton OF the boys 1t is great mystery If
the dissatisfaction was so great, the Letition
was not signed by more than two persons of
our educated and moral people When Tax
payer expects poor teachers to please every
person will humbly remind him of the man
with his jack.
How does Taxpayer" know the bows have
not been rightly managed and taught when
ne does not visit the school, nor the parents
scarcely ever enter the door, even to attend the
examination Taxpayer also states thai a
great majority of the small boys do not at
tend any school. Those that do not attend
are SO small they are not allowed as scholars
Taxpayer" forgot to state the gentleman
interested in building the new school house
was one o. the trustees OF the old house that
was taken down when no longer fit for use
aud is now trustee of The new one, built on
the old foundation. Taxpayer also knows
farmers have great aversion to sending their
children to the village schools, especially when
they wish to make a good appearance and do
not wish the trouble or expense.
The gentleman will not be comnellad n
take the trouble of having select school
started, as he lives as near tie academy ms the
public school, where his large children OF sew
en- or eight years of age will be properly man
aged and taught.
| presume the idea has not crossed "Tax-
payer 81 mind that the resigned trustees are
merchants, and they did not wish to displease
the one who demanded their resignation al
though he was not in fit condition to attend
70 any business matters. There has only been
the one taxpayer who requested, or rather de-
mdnded, the resignation of the trustees. and
That was when he was having a CAV time
Gentlemen of sobrietv do not generally notice
those who are INDUCING, but get rid of them
IN the midest way possible
Judging from the condition Of the gentleman
when he visited the Secretary. presume he
does not remember what promise he made.
agree with Taxpayer in wishing for a better
slate OF things, when parents will take an
interest and visit the schools and encourage |
lneir eniIoren to attend regularly.
