CONCLUSION.
MARLBORO.

The farmers are preparing for harvesting. All
kinds Of farm produce is looking well, and prom
ises liberal yield.
We areglad to see thatyou are determined to thor
oughly ventilate fraud wherever practiced and
perpetrated.
We notice In the Louisville items of last week,
that 70 pettifogger from the swamps of Marlboro
has been retained on case in that village. II
occurs to us as singular enough that wild man
of our tamerack swamps should be hunted down
TO furnish brains to settle complications in that
railroad subduing village. Wesuggest that Louis
vile import few African bushmen. Perhaps
through the laws of regeneration and an eleVating
cross they can raise grades with brains enough to
supply home demand.
ESQ., Miller has just returned from Indiana. As
a temperance lecturer he is not success. His at
titude is not studied. His breadth Of beam and
bow legs do not present a pleasing appearance
before an audience, but he means well-does the
Squire. He has often expressed an earnest desire
nav, a determination, to materially reduce the
quantity of spirituous liquors, as Nature has pro-
vided him with the power and capacity, AS soon
as the Squire's stomach map comes on he will
make tour of Lake township, with headquarters
at Hartville.
The amiable Amos, fresh from the aowery fold
appeared in our village few days before the re-
cent Republican primary election, singing How
det,r to me now are the scenes of my childhood"
Cye are unable to give the amount) smile, q
shake or a nod was bestowed upon many an old
acquaintance whom he has failed to recognize I'M
der other circumstances. He selected friend as
worker and silently departed, feeling, unlike
the immortal rooster, he could not fight best on
his own dung.hill. It is not our purpose to man
ifest more than passing interest who the Repub
lican nominee shall be- as we propose to carry the
district by an increased majority. Our hope is
that whoever represents this, one Of the first dis
tricts of the State, will not reflect discredt upon
the intelligence of his constituents. We appreci
ate the advantages of enterprsing citizens in Oul
midst. The enterprise is no doubt inspired by
the assurance Of gain, and should release parties
feeling inclined to support capital without capac
ity. FAIR COUNT

The following suggests itself to a grabbed editor
as an admirable class ode for the numerous COM
mencement exercises now being perpetrated Dy
the female colleges throughout the land;
Here as we stand in fair array
Upon this sad commencement day,
And bid each other long farewell,
Our Paris muslin waists do swell,
Our tears gush from our penclIled eyes,
Our painted lips breathe perfumed sighs
Upon the platform as we stand
And each one clasps kidgloved hand,
Twelve buttons all the style they are
Four dollars and six-bits per pair.
Please tell me- If you'll be so kind,
How does my tilter look behind?
And do you think the audience knows
wear pair Of striped hose
I'm sure they'll see my white kid shoes
Threes are my number-these are tWos.

In most Of the Primary departments no record
of tardiness was kept prior to November Of the
current school year, The schools were all notified
in October that thereafter all the departments
must keep an accurate record Of tardiness, and
that the monthly reports would be read in all the
schools. The effect of this was that tardiness was
at once very much reduced, especially in those
departments where no record had formerly been
kept Through the earnest and persevering efforts
of the teachers in their cooperation with me to
break up this evil in the schools, we have sue.
ceeded in rapidly and regularly reducing the
amount of tardiness each successive month. The
following is the report Of the various departments
since October:
