One night last week four young

" moved bodily a certain garden out
house, not ornamental hut useful. to
the front door Of the residence. On
arising the next morning the old gen.
tleman took in the situation at a
glance. Aiming himself with a shot
gun he was enabled, owing to the snow
which had fallen the night previous,
to track the young men to their re-
spective places of abode. He formed
them all in a line, and at the muzzle
of his gun marched them to the scene
of their depreciation of the night pre-
vious. After summoning his daught-
ers to witness the fun, he compelled
the young men TO carry the building
back to the point from which they
had taken it. II was a bitter pill but
they submitted. What made the case
distressing to one of the
young men was to find his photograph
which he had recently given to one of
the young ladies conspicuOusly tackled
on the door, Shelby Sentinel.

EDITOR HUsBANDMAN:
| Thought would drop you an item about
an adventure which has caused good deal
of excitement about the springs for the last
few days. The circumstances are as follow !:
On last Wednesday Mr.. Wesley Curnutt
took his gun and started to hunt the horses.
About three or four miles from the springs,
he discovered band of mountain sheep,
and as soon as he gained proper location
he fired upon the game. AT the crack of
the gun one of the largest mountain lions
we have ever seen, (you can imagine how
large he appeared to the bold hunter, J
sprang from cliff of rocks and landed not
over thirty feet from Mr.. Curnutt. in an at
titude looking anything but friendly, and
ready to contest titles to the game in ques-
ton. MIR. c., being an old mountaineer and
al experienced hunter, took in the situation
at a glance, and saw there was no time to
lose. as his antagonist meant business, so he
Immediately drew bead on the gentleman
and let him have bullet before he conclud-
Rocky Mountain husbandman., 1879-01-16

ed to give way, and as he ran received a
number of shots which he carried but a
short distance. Mr.. Curnutt, after dressing
his sheep, which was a very large one, the
head and horns weighing 373 pounds, re-
turned to the battle ground and found his
antagonist dead. Mr.. c., having procured
the assistance of Col. Kent, brought the
lion to camp where they weighed and meas
ured him, finding him to weigh $50 pounds,
and measure feetS s inches from the tip OF
the nose to the tip of the tail, which the
Colonel, (though bear hunter in the Rock
les for many year, acknowledges to be
the ''boss" of the mountains. Mr.. G. in
tends shipping the lion by next Mondays
coach to DIR. Parberry, at Helena, who will
have the skin stuffed and preserved in a
proper manner, S.

term, and to enable him to take such inter-
est in school affairs as the increasing popu-
lation and judicious disbursement OF the
school fund requires.
would also recommend that the eastern
boundaries Of Diamond and New York dis
tricts be limited by the eastern side of Smith
River valley, and that their north and south
boundaries be made to correspond with the
districts that have since been formed.
The prescribed course OF studies laid
down for primary schools when they were
first organized does not include studies that
should now be introduced In our
schools. The advances being made in sci
entific knowledge requires that a general
knowledge of the leading principles in phi
losophy, chemistry, mineralogy, geology
and agriculture is absolutely necessary in
education, and as but few of our children
attend school after leaving our county
schools, plain and simple lessons in these
sciences should be introduced during the
ensuing year. ED. BRAssEY,

Excepting Round Grove, the districts
have comfortable and commodous school
houses, but all lack such necessary appli-
ances as globes, maps, etc.
There are 800 school children in the coun-
ty, an increase of20 per cent. oyer 1878, of
whom less than 30 per cent. attend school.
This slim attendance is chiefly owing to the
long distance that many of the parents are
obliged to send their children. In winter
the smaller children are unable to attend,
and in summer the elder ones are needed at
home. 10 increase the general attendance
should be the main object of those having
the control of school matters.
In 1879 and 1880 there will be 400 school
children in the county. The average school
term, as the school fund at the present rate
(3 mills will then stand, cannot exceed an
average of four months. Four hundred
school children growing up in our midst, Of
whom not 30 per cent. attend four months
school during the year, calls for some little
attention. would recommend that the
school tax be raised to mills. This will
give eight months school in the four largest
districts and SIX months in the smaller
ones. Schools of this duration, properly
conducted, would be an indncenlent to
those parents who live at too great dis
tance to send. to make arrangements for
their children to reside near the schools.
and to those who now send ont Of the courl-
try at great expense, to remain, support
and encourage their own schools.
During the year have visited all the
them twice. have examined and issued
certificates to four applicants. Considering
the short terms. the children will compare
.fayorably in intelligence and Improvement
with Others throughout the territory, and
find the parents satisfied with the teachers.
But little information concerning the pro-
gressa school is making can be gained by
one visit. as new teachers are generally en-
ployed each term. would recommend
that the remuneration Of my successor be
made sufficient to enable him to visit each
school at its commencement and during the
