Conn1v snnerintendents-

The subject of County Superindents for
our ungraded schools is being discussed
throughout the State. School teachers
differ as to the propriety of the measure.
While there is, undoubtedly, something
necessary to make our free school system
more efficient, we are not prepared to say,
whether or not, the County Superintend-
ent project would be what is necessary.
The question should be carefully investi-
gated and considered before any change
is made, and discussed as to the proper
mode of bringing it to the consideration
of the people.
A convention of superintendents of
public schools, we learn, is to be held at
Columbus on the 11th of January, 1879,
for the purpose of urging the Legislature
to pass a law to create the office of County
superintendent of Common Schools.

On Sunday evening last, the daughter

in this county, was burned to death in
the following manner: She was taking
from the mantle coal oil lamp the bowl

oyer her. Her clothes took fire, and in
this condition she ran and jumped into a
rain-barrel, but the water came up to her
waist only and her clothes were burning
above that. She then got from the barrel
and sat down by the side of it, where
everything but her shoes were burned
from her person. She fingered until
Monday about noon, when life was gone.
At the time of the unfortunate occurrence
no one was at home to give her assistance.

Springfield. jackson & POmerOy Ry.
The jackson Standard of last week con-
tains the proceedings of Railroad meet
ing held at that place. Mr.. Emmitt. late
President of the road, offered for adop-
ton tire same resolutions passed at a pre-
vious and similar meeting at waverly,
and which we published last week. The
STANDARD says, in relation to the speeches
that were made on this occasion. ''There
was some sharp words between Mr.. Chap
man and Mr.. Emmitt, showing that their
love for each other does not surpass the
love of Jonathan and David.''
Irvine DUNCAN offered a substitute for
the resolutions presented by Mr.. En-
mitt, as follows:
WHEREAS, We have learned that the
officers of the Sd. & P. Ry. Co. have in
dividually advanced a large amount of
money for the use of the road, therefore
ResOlced, By the stockholders of jack
son and vicinity, that we ask of the Off
GERS of said road to make a complete
statement of the condition of the road;
its cost, the amount of indebtedness and
how secured; also the amount of bonds
issued, how disposed: how many sold
and at what figures: also the earnings of
biAC IOftN5 duu SilG anu hISOui
ments; and we ask that this report be
made so that the stockholders may have
such information before the coming an
nual meeting to be held at Springfield, ),
January s, 1879.
ResOlred, That we hereby request that Il
separate statement be made of the condi-
| tiOn, receipts, expenditures and indebt-
! edness of the road during the year w. n. .
Whitley was President.
.Res0lUed, That we have entire conf
dence in the present management of the
road, and only ask for this statement for
our information and satisfaction.
ResOlUed, That it is the sense of this
meeting that the stockholders of Wayer-
| ly, Brainbridge, and such other points as
the amount of stock and the interests of
/ the road require. should have a member
| of the Board of Directors at the ensuing z
! election.
DR.. L. T. Monahan moved to strike out
that part of the substitute, expressing
confidence in the present management of
the road, and demanded rising vote.
James Emmitt, [. L. Monahan, Moses
Sternberger and G. David voted to strike
out, and all the others present, represent
ing a large majority of the stockholders
of jackson county, voted against striking
out. The substitute was then adopted
with only one dissenting vote.
The meeting then adjourned.
