The New School Law.

The new public school law has been under
consideration in the State Senate during the
past week.
On Thursday of last week it first came up
and amendments proposing that the school
commissioners should be elected by the peo-
pie every two years, and fixing the minimum
amount of the levy in each county for public
schools at fifteen instead of ten cents, were
rejected The bill was then laid aside.
On Monday it came up again for consider.
alton.
Mr.. Humphreys proposed an amendment
limiting the number of school commissioners
to three. Adopted.
Mr.. Bannon proposed an amendment fixing
the maximum of an examiners salary at
$1,000 and the assistant or clerk, where either
is required. to $500 annually Adopted.
Mr.. Peter proposed an amendment limiting
the levy of school tax, in addition to the Is
per cent. authorized to be asked for by the
school commissioners, to ten per cent
Adopted.
Section Of chapter of the bill requires
each county to be Systematically laid out into
school districts of not more than an area of
four miles square each, properly bounded and
described by committee, all of which shall
be surveyed and recorded, and making pro-
visions for changes and plats.
Mr.. Bannon moved an amendment striking
out the most of this section, leaving only the
power with the school commissioners to re-
wise or alter the school districts as now laid
out. Carried.
Mr.. Bannon moved to strike out the option
given to the school commissioners of having
higher branches taught in the public schools,

physiology, &c.
The amendment was strongly opposed by
Senators Steiner, Sullivan and Stump, and
rejected.
AT the evening session, the same day, a large
number of immaterial amendments were
adopted. The only changes of any import
ance were the divisions of estate fund into
four quarterly payments, and providing for
the election of the board of education from
congressional instead ofjudicial districts, the
Governor to appoint one at large, and fill
vacancies.
On Tuesday the bill, was further amended,
on motion of Mr.. Bannon, providing that the

This was sad and startling news to her many
relations and friends in Hartford. For many

her endearing to her many friends.
The moistened eye, the pathetic tone of voice,
showed there was teeling-deep fceling-within.
These trials, SO devoutly and beautiful blended
with grace made her interesting to all. Spring

alas will she return? Alas no more!

ROAD MEETING IN CECIL CouNTY.-The
contracts for repairing the public roads Of
Cecil county for the three years ensuing, have
just been sold at public auction to the lowest
bidders. We gather, from the Elkton Demo.
c1at, the following facts in relation to the
system, which will be of interest in this couu.
ty, where the experiment of repairing roads
by contract will doubtless be tried this
spring:
"The system was devised to improve the
roads and lessen their cost. Each contractor
is required to give bond for the faithful per-
Torrance of his work, and an inspector is ap-
pointed under the law for each district,
whose duty it is to report upon their condi
ton, and no one can receive pay for work
done without his certificate that it has been
done properly. II the system fails to work
well, the fault is laid at the door of the inspec-
tor, who is presumed to have approved i'm
proper or insufficient work. The contracts
are made for three years and at the prices OBJ
tanned in 1875, aggregated decided reduc-
ton in the levy made under the old system
AT the sales made last week the bidding in
most cases was far below that of three years
ago. 1t remains to be seen whether the con.
tractors can or will do the work properly for
the prices at which it was taken"
The number of miles of road to be mcnded
is 6272, for which the total amount to be paid
is $12,29750, being about $4,000 less than the
preceding letting in 1875. The average
cost is nearly $50 mile, but there is great
disparity in the prices paid per mile in the
different districts. In the first district the
contract is S11 33 per mile; second, 1913;
third, SIT SO; fourth, $19.17; fifth, $1493
sixth, $32.12 seventh, &32.55; eighth, 1874 23;
ninth, $3.50.
