A number Of School book publishers
are now Offering to contract with local
school boards to supply looks upon as
favorable terms IS those named in the
Merrill school book law. They will
contract for a period of five, ten, fifteen

of it. They did not make the proposi-

become operative and they do SO now

command our hearty approval but i,
should be fairly dealt with Undoubt

books about fifty per cent. The firms
now proposing to contract with Dis: :
riots on the terms mentioned in the
Merrill law, are the same firms that
have for years, by means of their CON-

double the value OF the books.
It was the most oppressive
monopoly that the people Of this State
we're ever compelled to endure. The
proposition, considered in all its bear

No. II coal is about 40 feet above
No. 10, and where opened in the
northern part of warrant 2665 meas
urcs four feet, composed of Bitumin-
Gus coal, with parting near the CEN
ire of four inches in thickness of slate.
1t tunderlies 2l0 acres of land, and con-
tains ,85O.O 900 cubic yards of coal.
Nos. 10 and IL exist only in warrants
2703, 2663, 2G05 and 1865. 1t so hap
pens that the elevated ground in the
centre of the Howard Hill Section
is formed by an anticlinal axis,
which raises the lower coal meas
measures up to the very summit of the
ridge. Both northward and south
ward from this ridge the strata fall Off
or dip so as soon to admit the upper
measures even into hills of lower level
than the Howard Hill summit This
accounts for the presence of coal Nos.
10 and II towards the northeastern
corner of this land, and the presence
of one additional bed at Lafayette,
which overlies No. II. The level of
the country mt the head of Johnson's
run was carefully ascertained to be
about 800 feet lower than the summit
of Howard Hill yet about the springs
of Johnson's run several coal beds have
been discovered which, apparently,
belong to the uppermost measures of
the whole region. Even the stratum of
upper limestone for which all
parts of Howard Hill are (geologicully)
too low, is found here. The inference
seems justified that i'll all the high
grounds in the southern and south
western parts of the estate the coal
beds are most likely to be found su-
perior to those of Howard Hill in re.
gard both to number and thickness
for this coal basin vanishes entirely &
few miles north of the Kenzua, which
is tantamount to an increase of meas
ures southwark. The total amount o
coal in this section is estimated a
92, ,925, 600 cubic yards, or tons, all o
