The School Book QuestIOR.-Ili is to
be hoped that the discussion of this quea-
tion by the Legislatures Of several States
at this time will result in some definite
system that will be for the bes. interest Of
all concerned, and destroy the prolific
source OF quarrels between school boards
and their constituents. The discussion
frat started in Pennsyivania As II appears
from the following in the Pitisburg Com

Ditch SupervisOrs.-The Sentinel wants
somebody who has the welfare Of Wood
county at heart, and the ability, to draft a
bill empowering the Commissioners to ap-
point ditch supervisor in each township,
whose duty shall be to clear all obstruc-
tions from bitches in his Jurisdiction at
least twice year. A similar law to this
was passed four or five years since, and
our Democratic frie nds in this township
elected ditch supervisor, but from some
cause unknown to us the law never went
into effect. Upon the principle tina, pen
ny saved is equal to penny earned. it is
quite evident the practical results Of such
law would be economy to the tax
PAYERS.

Presby byterian SOcial.--The entertain
men, given under the auspices Of the Lndi,s 8
Centennial Society at Centennial Hall on
Friday eve. last, was highly enjoyabl for
all present. The entertainment was varied,

= Rats aud Mice"
The Au Fait Dramatic Club, an asso-
citation lately formed numbering nine or
ten OF our school girls and boys, volun-
teered to present their first play ON this oc-
casion. The piece selected was A kiss
in the Dark" which was a very popular
after piece with professionals a few years
since. All were we'll up in their parts and
for the short time in which they had to
prepare the piece it was put upon the stage
IN manner highly creditable to the mem
bers of the young organisation, and far
above the expectations of their friends.
This was followed by shadow pSnto-
mime In which gormandiIer showed his
willingness to take good square meal, for
which he wKsnOt willing to pay = cent.
The programme closed with some i'm
