THE Wheeling I,stel6geHcer of Friday last,
strikes froIA the shoulder at US in very stun
ming way, concerning a paragraph of ours,
touching up some of the young bloods of that
city, who frequently take pleasure rides
through here on Sundays. He hits us thusly:
"a ST. GAINESVILLE GUsHER.-The IRE.
pressible humorist who furnishes local bucol.
les for the Belmont Chronicle in the latest edi-
ton of that paper pencils a pungent paragraph
calculated to shake the very foundations of so.
ciety. Nothing less than an injunction can
restrain such ebulitions of subtlety"
Now, Bro editors, we didn't mean to hurt
you, and if we have said anything 'dogatory
to you and yours, or that would tend to jar q
single brick from the foundations of society
over there, we are satisfied to meet you hall
wsy-say at the big rock, below the pike
and make any proper amends. Failing to dc
this, we hereby authorize you to place said
rock in sling, and dash our brains out
gather them up, if you can find any-utilize
them; show them to your children every Sun
day morning, as direct evidence as to what 9
sad end fool-hardy editor, is at any moment
likely to meet. In short, if we have said any
thing we feel sorry for, we are glad of it.

Our Schools.

The present year will close with next
week.
There will be no public exercises, as
our Examination and Commencement
took place at the end of last term.
1t is hoped, however, that parents
and others interested will visit the
Schools before they close. 1fthere was
much more systematic visiting on the
part of parents and authorities, 1t would
doubtless result in much good.
I have now nearly concluded my
sixth year of service in my present
position and hope it is not necessary to
say, have tried to do my duty. can
readily see that many things might be
better done il I had more time to de-
vote to them. but the combined duties
of Supt. and ii. S. teacher must allow
but limited, time for many things,
though during most of the year, / pro-
tract my labors long after the usual
time fer dismission.
believe the present year to have
been in some respects the most success
full one and am quite willing for its re-
suits to be examined into.
