Attention is also called to the
change in the places for holding the
school election. BY the amended act
above the election for school officers
&c, is held at the places for holding
general elections, and the Commits
sioners are appointed by the County
Court Of each county. We hope thai
President Hayes will see that. this
matter is attended to at the July tern
of the County Court.
