DISTRICT SCHOOL No. Wednesday
afternoon we visited District School No. /,
for the purpose of gaining information as to
the general condition OF the school. With
the commencement of the January term Mr..
J. s. Stott succeeded Mr.. Vaughn as princi
pal Of the school. In looking over the list
we ascer,ained that Mr. S'o,t had 20 names
on his roll, and from actual count we found
that BE- had g. scholars in attendance. The
school room, a. indeed the whole hou-e Is in
a dilapidated condition, ana needs repairs
badly. The building at best Is merely she'll,
and considering the amount of money that
has been expended on il, gives evidence of
Dad management. Ia the rear room we found
Miss Martin engaged Gs assistant teacher.
Miss Martin has the names OF 50 scholars On
her list, and the ac ual attendance 20. How
one teacher manages TO instruct 20 pupils
passes our comprehension. Certainly it Is
overtaskiug the teacher, and change can
not be made any 200 soon. The building Is
divided into three rooms-the third room
unoccupied. The directors should at once
employ an additional teacher, and divide the
rchoul into three departments. This will
give au average ct ueeriy fly scholars to
each teacher, larger mumb,r than can be
properly instructed 10y Que person. Horace

five scholars l. the largest number that can
be properly fought by one person, and he l.
regarded as the high authority vn all qucs-
tiou7 relating 10 public schools The people
Of this territory are heavily taxed for the
support Of common schools, and il should be
the ambition Of school directors to see that
the money tlus obtained j. wisely and prop
erly expended. To assigu 60 OF 10 scholars
to ono teacher, and expect thorough instruc-
'iou Is looking Cor too much. Ia all such
cases the instruction i imperfect, and many
of the scholars are neglected. The teachers
in charge Of ,he school are evidently working
hard, and making the best of Tho situation :;
br, being oyertu-ked they can neither do them
selves nor the s"ho!ar- isrtioo. - already
stated, an additional teacher should be en-
playcd, and if the funds run short IA special
tax mish, be imposed to maize up the def
cieGcy. E,her this, or the number Of schol-

Peculiarities of Authors.

Goethe abominatcd smoking, though
he was German. Bayard Taylor says
that he tolerated the use of the pipe by
Schiller and his sovereign, Carl August,
but otherwise was very severe in denOunc-
ing it. Goethe himself somewhere says
that "with tobacco, garlic, bed-bugs and
hypocrits he should wage perpetual war. "
Authors vary in their methods of COM
position. Hawthorne made innumerab.e
notes of every fitting, quaint fancy,
strange anecdOte, or eccentric person.
These notes he afterwards worked up into
his stories. Several distinguished Ameri-
can writers have the habit of jotting a
sentence, or line or two here and there,
upon long page, and then filling up the
outline thus made with persistent re-
vision.
Wordsworth used to compose aloud
while walking in the fields and woods.
Sometimes he would use a slate-pen-
Gil aud the smooth side of rock to
jot down his lines. Walter Scott worked
fasting from five in the morning till about
ten. He chung to his home and library,
neatly arranged, where he.cOuld find any
volume at a moment's warning. Lord
Jeffrey used conversation to stimulate his
mind to write new article.
Professor Wilson, the Kit North" of
Blackpood's Magazine, jotted down in a
large ledger skeletons" from which,
when he desired an article, he would
select one and clothe it with muscle and
nerve. He was very rapid writer and
composer, but would work only when he
liked and how he liked. He maintained
that any man in good health might write
an entire number OF Bldckrood's.
Mrs. Lcwcs, "George Eliot" incubates
for two or three years before she writes u
book, reading up her subject in scores
and scores of volumes. She is one of the
masters, so-cslled, Of all learning, talking
with scholars and men Of science on terms
of equality.

True Economy in Purchasing a
Piano.

A Piano has come to be an article of prime
necessity in every household that makes the
least pretension to refinement. A Piano is an
expensive investment and one which makes
no return in cash for the money laid out.
On the contrary, instead Of paying any inter
est, 1T begins from the first day to consume
the principal, and in few years il is impos-
sible TO "realiZe" except at u loss of fifty to
seventy-ive per cent. Why is it that harp
that has been in use for twenty of even fifty
years retains all its excellence and beauty OF
tone! Simply because all the strain of the
strings is sustained by metal, and not by rood,
as is the case with the Piano. This is just
the difference between the new Patent Piano
called the Rogers Upright" and all the other
Pianos. The Rogers is simply harp stand
ing in Piano case, but entirely independent
of the case. 1t is furnished completely and
even tuned before it is put into the wooden
box which gives it the appearance and
name but none of the defects Of a Plano. A
good harp cannot be bought for less than $500
Messrs. Blackmar X Davis, the agents at San
Francisco for the Rogers Pianos, sell those
beautiful instruments at $3.50. We are aware
that Pianos can be had for $500 or less; but the
question Is, where is the economy in saving
$3.50 on the first outlay, when in few years
you will have in your house piece of worth
less lumber, to say nothing of the annoyance
and expense OF keeping poor Piano in tune!
IL IL is worth while 10 buy Piano at all, IL
seems to us it is worth while to buy one that
will give you satisfaction and delight, and
one that will not, by its imperfect tones, tend
10 destroy the nice discrimination OF musical
sounds which Is strengthened and improved
by the use of musical instrument that is al
ways in tune like harp or a Rogers Piano.
You cannot get $50 watch for SIS, although
you may not be able 10 see any difference in
the appearance Of the two watches. Nor can
you get a good Piano for small sum, and
you had better economic in some other mat
ter and buy what will be u never ceasing
source Of pleasure To yourself and your
friends, a Rogers Upright Piano.

A BOY down in Flint River township
got up at four o'clock yesterday morning,
sneaked cautiously out of the house, and
ran across twenty acre field in the snow
in his bare feet till he got to the brush.
Then he put on his boots, made long de-
tour, and got back to the house. 1t near
ly killed him and gave him such cold
that he has to use pair of bellows to
breathe with, but he forgot all his trou-
bles in the intense fun he had watching
