HisbOrough Highland County, Ohio Thursday, April 49,
Sicily.

The school at Sicily closed March 10th, with a
very interesting school exhibition. None except
the pupils of the school were allowed to take part
in it. Seven dialogues and 2l declamations were
given. Although the afternoon and evening were
very wet and muddy, the house was comfortably
filed.
The farmers are very busy sowing oats, and
pIowfng for corn. A considerable amount of plow-
ing was done during the nice weather in February.
Corn is selling at a5 cents per bushel. Seed oats
scarce. Stock hogs hard to find for sale. Horse
aud mule bartering brisk.
Our FIatrun mills are buying wheat at Sl.5O per
busheI.
Peach trees nearly all dead.
Health of neichborhood generally good, but Mr.
Isaac Shockey has been sick for some time.
Our Sunday School was reorganized April 1st,
resulting in the election of Mr.. 5 W. higgins,
Superintendent, Mr.. Amos Hawk, Secretary, and
leader Of music unsettled. Teachars were chosen,
and the propriey Of taking 5. 5. fapers or getting
q : = Library WIS discussed. Che prospect is
that the school viii he good as it usfaily is. One
eat cause of Its success is that parents and older
people take an interest in it. and attend regularly.
Mr.. George E. Higgins, the young man who
went from here about a year ago, TO Iowa, rc-
turned in January. While in Iowa, he learned the
trade of cheese making, and has now gone back TO
engage in the business again, at very compensating
wages It would not be a bad thing if a few more
of our young men would seek places which could
afford them more lucrative employment
We would like to have the r. r. that Is coming
from Hillsboro, to unite with the C. & E., pass
through, or near SICILY.

Hillsboro now consumes about
500 carloads of coal annually, or
100000 bushels. If we had q new
railroad to the coal, fields, to bring
down prices of freight by competition,
we would save about 4 cents a bush
el, or in the aggregate $4,000, on
this single item. Then the prices
of freight, to and from Cincinnati,
would be reduced by a competing
line, amounting to saving of say
$4,000 more. There would be a saw
ing of perhaps $4,000 a year by
reduction of passenger fares. Here
are three items, amounting to S15,
600 in a single year--just ha!t' the
amount which Hillsboro is asked to
raise in stock, in order to organize
the Board of Directors. In other
words, we would 8aUe in t,go years,
the aoHOls amount we are asked to
subscribe. And yet some say, we
can't afford to subscribe 100000!

The Powers Of Township
Boards of Education as
10 Teachers Wages.

HILLsBORO, April 10, 1871.
ED. News "A request, which reads as follows,
has been sent me:
''WiIl you give your opinion as to whether Town
ship Boards of Education have the power, under
the law, to fix a limit to the wages per month that
shall be paid by Local Directors in Sub-Districts? 6?
An answer through the county papers will obIige
MANY TEACHERS.
In my opinion, Township Boards are given no
such power Section 50 Of the School Law Of
1873, on the powers Of Local Directors, reads as
follows:
provided further, that in each township district
the local directors shall employ or dismiss for sui
cieut cause the teacher or teachers of the school
or schools in the sub-distrct in which they reside
and shall also have power to fix the salaries or pay
of said teachers, which salaries or pay may be in
creased but not diminished in amount, by the
Township Board, and shall not in any year exceed
in aggregate amount the school money distributed
pro rata by enumeration, and the amount which
shall be apportiuued to such sub-district of the
fund raised by local levy to continue the schools in
session tventy-f5ur weeks each year, as required
by law; and in clse the local directors Of any sub
district shall fail to employ a teacher or teachers
as aforesaid, the Township Board Of Education
shall employ a teacher or teachers for sUb-distHct
school or schools, and fix the salary or pay of the
same The local directors shall certify the amount
due any teacher for services to the township clerk
who shall draw an order on the township treasury
for the amount, when said teacher shall file with
him this certificate the term report prescribed by
the State Commissioner Of Common Schools, to-
gether with such reports may be required by the
rules of the Board and COPY of his or her Certih-
cate of qualifications from the County Examiners,
as required by Section 81 Of this act"
This seems to he clear enough ON the point.
While there may be a conflict Of Jurisdiction in
some things between Township Boards and local
directors there Is none as TO the duty Of appoint
ing teachers in s.b-dstricts, and the fixing Of the
wages to be paid. This power and duty belong to
the local directors H. S. DOGGETT.

In pursuance of the order of Pres
ident Hayes, the United States
troops were on Tuesday of last week
removed from the capitol at Charles
ton. South Carolina, and, in conse-
quence ofhis inability to maintain his
government without military aid,
Governor Chamberlain stepped down
and surrendered the State house, re
cords and papers to Gov. Hampton,
and announced that be would no
longer assert his rights to the Office
of Governor of South Carolina, leav
ing Hampton in full control. There
was no excitement, and everything
in Charleston is quiet. In concluding
his valedictory address, Gov. Cham
berlain says: "The motives and
purposes of tie President Of the
United States, in the policy which
compels me to pursue my present
course, are unquestionably honOra-
BILE and patriotic. I devoutly pray
that events may vindicate the wis
dom of his action, and that peace,
| Justice, freedom and prosperity may
hereafter be the portion of every cit
izen of South Carolina"

Killing Deformed children.

How appalling the thought that the king
of a great empire should demand, as Lycur-
gus did. the killing of all children born de-
formed While this wicked practice is not
continued, yet in the United States more
than tlrO buHdred thousand poor, helpless,
crippled, and deformed persons have been
allowed to become so; and nine-tenths of
them never need have been in this pitiabIe
condition, and many of them wish they had
died while young or never been born. Why
the exclusion, as stated in LevitiCus xxi, II
20, we know not; but the general sympathy
for, and care of the paralyzed, the defOrm-
ed, the blind, etc, by our Savior, teaches
us an imperative duty. We can not do for
all as King David did for JOnathan's son,
yet, with the triumphs of art and science,
the National Surgical Institute is curing
thousands annually. About twenty years
and nearly a million dollars have been eX-
pended in organizing and eqUipping the
four great divisions of this institution, and
developing the new modes Of treatment,
machinery and appliances. Surgeons and
Commissioners from other nations at the
Centennial conferred the highest praise up
on it. The National Surgical Institute eX-
hibited there five times as many humane
appliances for the cure of defOrmities and
surgical cases as all the world besides, and
of course received the highest prize medal
and diploma. All its treatment is scientific,
easy and rapid, avoiding all the old painful,
barbarous, and fallacious treatment of old
times. More than forty thousand persons
have been cured by this Institute. 1t is
daily becoming the household word and
cripples friend all over America. None need
fear the expense Of cure above their ability
to pay; but owing to the hard times and
| travelling expenses many are deprived of
| its advantages. For this reason we are in
formed that two OF more of the Surgeons
| from this reliable old institution viii visit
our city. They viii be at the Woodrow
/ House, IIiIlsbUro, o., May 10th and 18th,
/ 1877, with full outfit of all kinds of splen-
did appliance, supports, instruments, and
| other remidies for the cure of all DefOrmi-
| ties, Paralysis, Piles, Fistula, Diseased
Joints, Female Diseases, etc. We advise
/ all needing such treatmnt to call and see
| them, as it viii cost nothing for ezamina-
| ton, and all will be told candidly what can
/ be done for them. You had better call the
| first day. Send for circular or any desired
information at once to the National Surgic-
al Institute, Philadelphia, Pa, or Indianap-
| alis Ind

Correspondence of the News
Letter from Indiana.

META, Cass Co., Ind, April To, 1871.
DEAR NEWS From week to week we find much
in your columns that interests US in our new home
In the West.
Spring has come, and the voice Of the lark and
the frog is heard in the land. We have a fine
prospect for wheat the finest it is said, for many
years. The fields have been well protected by
snow during the winter, and the month Of March
Farm work is progressing finely. Some oats sOwn.
Considerable plowiHg done for corn.
We are glad to see the fine weather, but there
are some things to regret The cramps" are
crawling ont Of their winter quarters, and are al
most as troublesome as the frogs of Egypt are re-
ported to have been in Pharaoh's time. The ettEls
also seem to have gone into winter quarters with the
tramps, and this warm April weather is bringing
them out thick and fast. This county would be a
paradise, but for the chils and mosquitoes. There
is great progress making in draining the country,
however, and the coming summer win bring US
more bitches than any ten years have done before.
How different the roads are here from what they
are in Highland and some Of the other counties
south Of it. We have a great deal Of sand, and a
coarse, gravel subsoil, like southern Kansas. Our
roads are dry and nice IN two or three days after
the snow melts away in Spring, and the frost goes
out of the ground. We have no stone for pixies,
but have gravel roads. All our pixies are built by
companies and every man must pay toll. The dirt
roads are now as good as the pixies.
There is considerable good land to be had here
at reasonable rates. Many men own large tracts Of
land, andathey have made their fortunes and have
moved to cities to make their homes, and mauy OF
there farms are for sale, either in large or small
tracts.
There are great inducements here to the young

terest manifested except by one or two ambitious
candidates. Officers elect:
Trustees Peter Jonte, Wm. Fenncr and Wm.

other man, through misunderstanding.

Treasurer-Steven Lowman.
Clerk-N. y. Thomas.
The winter terms Of our schools arc closed, all
satisfactorily, and some very successfully. VIII
lettsve closcdwi;h quite an examination, in which
the scholars acquitted themselves very creditaby,
and the Directors and householders ignoring third
term-ism, offered the school for next winters
term to the same teacher, MI Cary, for the fourth
term.
Our section is beautifed with three stylish new res
licences, built during the past year by Dr. Johnston
Mr. Doan, and Mr.. Gorden. Our old friend Wm.
Mcdaniel, has left his fine farm on Turtle Creek,
in charge of his "better half' and two small spec
linens of ''YOung America" Of which he boasts
and gone to Lynchburg, in partnership with Mr..
John Thompson, in blacksmithing, wagon making
and manufacturing generally. They have pala-
tial shop for a country village-oice and fOrges on
the lower floor, shop for wood workmen, and
one for painting, besides lumber-roOms and Iuxu-
riously furnished bedroom on the second floor.
They keep No. 1 workmen, and are always ready to
accommodate.
Mrs. VIM. Morris, long resident Of our town
ship, died on the Sth Of April, Full Of years, she

was a member Of the Christian church for many
years. She was in her SD year, and leaves a COM

That is now the all-important ques-
ton for our citizens to decide, and it
is necessary that they should decide
promptly, and thus show the friends
of the enterprise in the country, that
HjHs5oro means to do her part.
The capital stock of the company
already Incorporated is S3OO,OOO,and
the law requires that 10 per cent. of
this amount must be subscribed in
unconditional stock, before a Board
of Directors can be chosen. This
amount has to be raised in Hillsboro,
because under the policy adopted of
leaving the selection of the line to
the Board of Directors, no uncondi-
tional stock can be obtained else
where. All the stock subscribed on
the various competing lines must ne
cessarily be conditional stock, which
Will only become binding on the line
that is decided upon.
At a large meeting of cur citizens,
held last Friday evening, at Town
Hall, an effort was made to ascertain
what amount of unconditional stock
could be raised, and parties present
pledged themselves to the amount of
81, $50, not one-fourth the amount
required. Another meeting was held
Monday night, the proceedings of
which Will be found elsewhere.
A committee of ten was appointed
to canvass the town Immediately and
see what amount of stock can be OBJ
tained. The committee will call on
our citizens this week, and we hope
every one will realize the imperative
necessity Of deciding at once what is
the utmost amount he can afford to
subscribe.
Further delay is dangerous. While
we are hesitating, other rival enter
prises are developing all around us,
which threaten to sap our trade and
prosperity, unless we shake off our
lethargy, and do something to coun-
teract their influence.
Now is the time to act with decis-
ion and energy. It is an important
crisis in our affairs, and upon our ac-
ton may depend our future veal or
wo. Let us awake to the realities of
the situation, and let every one re-
solve to do his a0hoLe duty, and all
will be well.
