SCHOOL MATTERS AT GENOA

EDITOR APPEAL--DEAR SIR After read
issue in regard to school troubles in Genoa
/ deem it but justice to the Trustees and
teacher as well as the intelligent part of the
community, to state few facts III regard tC
his matter. Some five years ago the lady
in question took charge of our school She
found, to my personal kno"ledge, the build
ing in delapidated condition, and the
pupils very backward in their studies, result
ing principally from the frequent change of
teachers. BY the aid OF the Trustees, who
have taken deep interest in school affairs,
our building now presents a respectable ap-
pearance, and the pupils, by the energy OF
their teacher, who has toied most faithfully
with them, now stand on IL par with any in
the State. | an proud to say shat it is not
the community or even thirty of the leading
taxpayers, as was stated, who are trying to
interfere with the duties of the Trustees, as
we'll the rights of the teacher, but some
few designing men who nave never seen the
inside of the school, and of their personal
knowledge know nothing of the real character
of the work done there by either teacher or
scholars. Now, | would ask, are these men
working for the interest of the children Of the
community! No. They have some purpose
of their own to accomplish. AAd, now /
would say III conclusion, tnat am fully salts
fed that, after careful investigation, the
trustees and teacher viii De fully sustained
in the course which they have pursued, which
has been in every respect for the interest OF
he school. \ TAXPAYER

Almost a Serious Matter.

Luke Goodyear is 4 we'll digger and a good
one too. On Tuesday, with his usual force,
he undertook tn replace about twelve feet Of
the upper wall Of Il we'll about l5 feet deep
Oh the Calkins farm, near Bacon Hill. He
had constructed n platform upon the
firm part of the well wall, and had removed
nearly all of the old crumbled bricks when
his assistant, young man named Shippers,
was taxing ont tho last courses, about twelve
feet from the curb, Luxe, with several
others, were distant a few feet from the well
curb, when they heard Shippers calling
loudly. On running to his relief, they found
him buried to his chin, by the fast accumu-
lating sand and earth. His arms pinned to
his sides, by the solily packing sand, were
helpless, After two hours spent in unearth-
ing him, they succeeded finally in eztrcating
him from his uncomfortable position. Had
Luke not been near at hand, the coroner
would doubtless have had work.

by two four large-heartel f;lrmers-Robt
Hart and Samuel Mcdaniel. Another of

Though Winters arm shall hold chill SWAY,
They will, delighted, chew nice hay.
Such marks of thoughtful kindness, and
respect, as indicated above, are appreciated
by the pastor, who desires thus publicly to

reward them, and raise up many more like

that the vehicle was very Old and rickrty.

Last Saturday, the horse of Philip Hess
who lives on the j. l.. Smith farm, near
Elk Mills, became frightened and, breaking
the bride, run violently down North street.
Shortly after the horse started, the carriage
struck another one, standing near Wit

separate it from the horse that was hitched
to it. Horse No. l, having no bride upon
it, could not be stopped, and continued on

A Strange Transaction.

Last Tuesday, two strangers appeared in
Elkton and hired a horse and carriage from
Il. c. Crouch, stating that they were mer-
camille travellers, and started to visit the
upper part of the county. An hour or two
afterwards, young man in the employ of
Mr.. Crouch met the twain at New Leeds,
where they inquired of him the way to
Pennsylvania. The young man told them
they should have taken the New London
road, and gave them some other informa-
tion, which probably convinced them that
he knew where they obtained the vehicle
they were using. When the young man
returned to Elkton he informed Mr. Crouch
of the facts, when that gentleman, suspect
ing that something was wrong, telcgrarhed
to various points, making inquiries about
them, but receiving no information Mr.
Falls, he proprietor of the Howard House,
where the livery stable is kept received Il
letter by the evening mail from Philadcl-
phia, stating that the horse and vehicle were
at Perryville, having been left in charge of
Mr.. Boyd, on account of the sickness of
one of the strangers, both of whom were
then in Philadelphia. The Sheriff visited

A Good Yield of Wheat

Mr.. Stephen Pluck, the overseer of the
aims house, last week, thrashcd the wheat
raised upon three and one-tifth acres of the
aims house farm, and found that it yielded
l02 bushels. This wheat was of the old red
variety. He also threshed 325 bushels of
FultZ wheat from II acres. The wheat was
all of the best quality, and the land was
measured, us we have been Informed, by an
eminent surveyor. The land upon the poor
house farm WAS formerly very poor indeed,
but this indicates that Mr.. Pluck, who u,l-
derStands the outdoor part of the business
quite as well as Mrs. Pluck does the cu!i-
nary affairs of the establishment, has been
very successful this year, and that the time
is not far distant when the aims house will

influences. There was no rum, no beer, nc
rowdyism and dancing. Not even one OF
our party participated in dancing at Toll

With good opinion of the law"

With good opinion Of the law
These people, whose movements are as
subtle as those of Satan, and whose history is
as hard to unravel as that of the mysterious
mound builders, left Elkton rs quietly as
they came, in the early part Of the week.
Some one of them procured an old fan, on
Monday last, which they left for time in
the Howard House yard, and which was
found, on Wednesday saorning, on the street
in front of The Wing office with large pla-
card upon it, stating that it WAS a present
for the local editor. We thank them for
this expression of their regard, and only
regret that they had not the courage and
manliness to have presented it in person.
Their object in giving us the fam as we
have been informed, was that we might
keep ourselves cool. They had much bet
ter have kept the fan themselves, for, if we
mistake not, they will ultimately find them
selves in climate where they will need it.
We partly showed these fellows upin The
Wing last week, and regret that we did not
do it week sooner, for they seem to have
whose objects We're to evtde the laws of the
State, to injure legitimate dealers and m:lnu-
flcturerS, and swindle the purchasers OF
their wind mills, by selling them for twice as
much as they were really worth. They did
not hesitate to violate the Sanctity of the
Sabbath, and when punished for doing SO,
they blacksuar,lcd the agent of the railroad
company, the express agent and the post
master. Altogether they We're the . chceki-
est and most unnitigated hHmbugs that
ever infested the county, aud all good citi-
zcns will rejoice at their departure.
The Thiy always has been, and will con-
tinue to h., devoted to the interest of home
manufactures, and of course we expect Il
provoke the eunity of strolling dealers wht
infest the community, and without paying
the State any revenue, use their glib tongues
to impose their questionable inventions upon
credulous buyers.
