The case of State vs.. Charles T.. Fish, for
disturbance of Auburn high school. was tried
the other day in the 5. J. Court at Auburn.
1t was claimed by the government that Mr..
Fish, who had been Principal of the school
for several years was dismissed by the Au-
burn school committee, and that Mr. John 4.
Morrill, was engaged as principal of the Au-
burn High School, and that when the school
was in session, Mr.. Fish disturbed the school
by coming into the room and asking certain
questions. The facts were developed that
the new school committee undertook to re-
move him rather summariv, and as Mr.. Fish
thought unlawtully, and by legal advice he
sought to bring the matter to legal test by
rendering his services on Monday morning,
April II. His appearance at the school on
that occasion resulted in the present trial.
The defendant showed that his successor. Mr..
John A. Morrill,, had no certificate, and Judge
Walton. after severely reprimanding the town
authorities for not keeping within the limits
of the statutes, directed the jury to find
verdict of not guilty. Mr.. Fish was then dis
charged, the jury not leaving their seats.
Committee men and the public will discover
one of these days that school teachers have

THAT $3.50 Item.

In his speech at the meeting of Satur-
day Sam Wood stated that he had been
overhauling the records on the county
printing, and that the figures we pub
lished did not include $3.50 paid in DC
tober, 1877, and he wanted to know what
that item was for We thought he would
bite on that, and are happy to inform
him that the said advertisement was one
required by a special law passed at the
session of 1877, to enable the county TO
confirm and be able to give title to vari-
Gus tracts of lands and lots which il had
from time to time bid in for unpaid tax
es, and that the intent of the law was
would be repaid by the sale of the lands
and lots so advertised. This item, there
fore, does not belong under the head Of
expenses paid by the treasury, inasmuch
as the money is refunded by the individ-
uals who buy tho land. Even if not so
refunded, it was the only such advertise.
ment for twenty years, and would there
fore add but SIS per year to the average
expenses as we gave them.
Another point in regard TO this item is
that the law which called for the adver-
Using to be done omitted to specify what
rates should be paid for it, and hence
the general law governing rates by the
square had TO rule. At these rates the
advertisement came to 800. But lest by
any possibility the treasury should fail
TO be reimbursed by the sale of the lands
advertised, THE News voluntarily of
fered TO and did publish the advertise
ment for one-half of the legal rates, OF
$780, This was fair and liberal dealing
with the county, and the taxpayers will
approve of it. If there are any other
items that can be 'raked up" to contra
dict our figures, rake ahead.

Chase County.

WONsIVU, Kansas, Nov. =.
DEAR News The fine fall weather
of the past two months, has afforded ;ime
for all kind OF out door work, and as a
general thing it has been well put IN.
Nearly all kinds of out door improve
ments have had, and are still having
the attention many of them so justly
deserve, from Il stone chicken ousc 10
the almost elegant stone mansion.
Farmers are often blamed for their
seeming neglect, but let almost any man
follow him throughout the year and do
the same amount OF work and errands
morning, noon and evening and but
very few would want TO do much more,
however otherwise it may appear to the
uninitiated. One OF the pleasant fea-
lures Of the day, in country, town and
village, is that all are trying at least to
do things more permanently.
Thousands of rods of barbed wire
fence have been put up the past season.
Three wires of the barbed with posts one
rod apart, make better fence than
smooth wire with twice the amount of
posts and five strands, and at much less
cost. The great objection 10 the fence
in this county is that the posts are near
ly always too small. The posts as. gen
orally used will not last more than three
years till they begin TO fall and have to
be continually repaired.
Stock Of all kinds are in good condi-
ton. Indeed young cattle and calves
are in greater demand than the supply.
Many may find out before spring that
, they may have more stock than feed, so
far as hay and straw are depended upon.
One move in the right direction is, more
corn was cut and put in shock last Aug
ust than ever before But to offset this,
less corn is gathered unhnsked than us
ual. We think that small corn at least,
should be jerked and fed with husk on
TO cattle. Stock so fed require but little
hay. Indeed often, enough corn and
husks are left in the field and burned in
the spring, to winter small herd of
cattle
We think too, that nothing in the stock
line pays better than TO Reep all cattle
in good condition through the winter,
and at the price corn is now, it will pay
well to feed from now tillthe grass comes
in the spring, at least some to all cattle
every day. 1t should be the aim of all
men in the cattle business to have all
that are shipped for Il foreign market as
large as possible, to command ready sales
and good pay,
Hogs are now nearly all we'll fattened,
and some are now selling at S2.70 per
head, gross. OF one thing the farmers
of this part of the state have been bless
ed, as yet no diseases of any kinds among
cattle or hogs have been experienced ex-
cept an occasional case of black leg
among Young cattle. A. N
