dinen district have had to meet,
lose their time, receive no pay, and
be bored almost to death with com
plants and long-winded speeches,
which amounted to nothing. 1t is
a shame that any legislative body
should make law requiring mem
bers of Boards of Education to be
subject to the beck and call Of those
who feel disposed to call them to-

which Mr.. Vaught preached an able
sermon, from the 10Th verse Of the
31st Psalm.
