 Thomas Younger ct al of North Fork school district No. 2. In the matter ot petition for school dis trict filed at the Oct. term of the county court--petition granted and new district formed as petitioned for, with fifty six children, to be known as "Haley" district No. 50. ~.:th Martin Burch, Thomas Younger and B. F. Haley appointed as directors for said new district who will quail fy and serve until their successors are elected at the May meeting and qualified Oct. 15 as the law directs. In the division of school district by the formation of new district, the books, papers &c., remain the public property of the old district still, and if in the hands of any one included in the new district, they should be turned over to the direc- tors oi the old district at once, and new set of books and blanks for run ming the free school to be procured from the county examiner for that purpose. And just here would say for the information of any iC may concern that it is the duty of the ex aminer to keep on hand for distribu- ton copies of tho school law, direc- tors district account book. teachers register, blank order books and enumeration blanks &c., for distrl- button In his county, when called up on by the the directors for the same. The county examiner does not re- ceive anything for his services from the public school fund of the county and the law does not make it his du ty to furnish the directors outfit through tho mails at his own ex- pensc, as supposed by some, but to keep on hand such books and blanks as are needed, to be furnished free when called upon for the same by the director as before said, or by some one of the district upon the directors order being sent.

 According to the programme pre- viously announced, the Hon. circuit court of the fifth judicial district will convene at Dover on Monday next. and q goodly number of the inhabitants from various parts of the county xlll be expected to put in their appearance on the occasion, though not so much from a matter of choice AS from other gsod reasons, and preparations looking to that end are new in ordor. Mir. A. N. Mar shal aud force is at work on benches fer the court room, and the town conncil is having four large racks erected out of heavy sawed white oak lumber on the public square standing at right angles from each corner of the court house for the accommodation of the riding public. And also preparations are being made at the boarding house for the entertainment and comfort of the guests, and which is the main thing with lawyer, and is the next thing looked for after the "fees." There is considerable docket bsioro the court and the term will likely con tinue the full time allowed. There arc 24 cases on the equity docket. five of which are bills for divorces. State cases S8, three of which are for murder and if tried ss they should be, will consume much of the time and will afford the legal talent ample grounds to show their learn ing. SCRAP.
