= School Report.

We have before US Superintendent
Hedges Report for 1876. with which ere
incorporated the Montana School Laws.
Mr.. Hedges makes many excellent sug
gsstions-six months should be tho mini.
mum allowed to any school-if the term
were double. the expense would not be
increased one-third, while the advantage
would be 9usdrupied-weret the term in
creased lower salaries ard better tenchers
would rcsult-a competent teacher can as
readily do justice to 80 as to ~ scholars
scholars do better where there is more
compesition-mans poor schools cannot
equal . single good one-school lands
should be protec,ed--Tsachers' Institutes
should tie held.
Mr.. Hedges asks, Would it not be
wise to authorize escll school district to
raise by special tax sum for creation and
support of library for the adults of the
district?'
So far as Bozeman il concerned, it has ?
good library. which, so far as we can
learn, stands q dead Investment. II
would seem that some plan might easily
be matured which wolld open it prscti-
cally to the use of our schools.
The Report gives Gallstin County the
following statistics: 20 districts-32o
male. aud 256 female children between 4
and Fl years of age-15 schools-34S a.
sendance-16 teachers ITO days average

The Patent ONCE Building on Fire

WASHINGTON, September 24-The
Patent Office Building is on fire. The
flames broke cut in the model room, and
burned through the roof aud is blazing
furiously. All the engines in the district
have gone to the scene.
l2:3O.-The FIRE still RACES, particular
ly ia the land Office wing of the Interior
Department Building. The heat is in.
tense, making approach to the fire diff
cult. Doubtless valuable papers and
records will be destroyed, many being
slowed in the attic.
The upper portion of the west wing on
Ninth street is in flames, which are
creeping along between the ceiling and
the roof of the north wing, and Of the
main building facing F street. An i'm.
mense number Of valuable models have
been destroyed. Secretary Schurz and
his assistants are experimenting the re-
moval Of files, and models, aud records.
The clerks are removing books and pa
pers, and are organized as guards. The
guard of the District militia is at the
main stairway Of the model room in the
center Of the building, where an i'm
mense number Of models yet remain.
The hremen are 10 the room endeavor.

in the conservatory, neal the roof. There
were an immense number of rejected
models packed in the attic above the
model room.
II is believed spontaneous combustion
there caused the conlagration. The
land Office records are stored in rooms
two stories beneath.
1870 p.m.-At this writing the fire is
under control. Most OF the damage has
been confined to the upper stores.
Several FIRE companies from Baltimore

Complaint.

10 the Editor of the Ledger;
Last week, on the northwest corner OF
Main and Court street, an old plank
over the culvert broke; the city engineer
or one of his assistants (don't know
which, there are 80 many of them) went
and repaired the break by putting in
place of the old broken plank two new
(cottonwood) plsnks, one Of which, not.
w~ithstanding it has been less than q
week down, has broken in two, and our
city will again be compelled to repair
the culvert at an expense of a few dol
lars. This is a very small matter, but
taken in connection with thousands OF
similar jobs makes quite an expenditure
during the year. Ii the city cannot get
good oak lumber to repair bridges, cnl.
verts, etc, it would be better to let them
alone entirely than to be fooling away
money Oh this cottonwood plank that
does not last much longer than it takes
to put it down. CITIZEN.

ARKANSAS INITIATES OHIO.

A Foul Murder Avenged Double
Lynching at De witt.
The two negroes who murdered Thos.
B. Stockley at Willamette, Ark were
taken from Jail at DEWITT, a few nights
since, by unknown persons, and killed
neal by. There we're nineteen men in
the party, and they got possession Of the
jail, which was heavily guarded, by a
very clever trick. They appeared in
front of the Jail with a keg, rolled it
against or under the building, and pre-.
tended that they had fuse attached and
we're about to blow it up. The guards
fed, panic.stricken, without firing a shot,
and the outsiders soon worked their way
in, like a mob did recently in daylight at
Mount Auburn, Ohio, got the prisoners
out and executed them. 1t was a Just
%retribution in both cases. The supposed
keg of powder proved to be empty. De-
Witt is in a county which is overwhelm-
ingly negroized and Radical. So the
affair was conducted with great care and
secresy at Dewitt, not in broad day.
