WESTMINSTER, Md, Sep. 4, 1882.
To the honorable Board of Public School
Commissioners of Carroll County, Md. We,
the undersigned, public school teachers of
Carroll county, Md, respectfully represent to
your honorably body that we have read in the
public prints, with feelings akin to dismay,
your determination to reduce, during the com.
ing school year, our previously meagre and
insufficient salaries. The question of the ex
pediency of such a measure cannot enter into
our contemplation; it is enough for us to
know that such decision must as necessarily
limit our powers for usefulness in our schools
as it contracts our means of living.
We, therefore, respectfully and earnestly,
petition your honorable body to reconsider the
action which compels us, much against our
incEnations, to utter and submit this our hum
BILE protest against it, and we, as in duty bound,

some one came along on horseback and shot
him, but on close inquiry it was discovered in
few DAYS afterwards that he did the act him
self. DR.. J. S. Ziegler, of Melrose, performed
the surgical operation, and the patient is do
ing well.
The grist mill of Mr.. Phanuel Wentz, near
Melrose, took fire from a spark from the
smoke stack one day last week, burning hole
probably several feet square into the roof, but
fortunately this was the only damage done, as
Mr.. Wentz and millwright whom he had
employed were working on the third story of
the mill and heard the cracking of the fire,
and Immediately plunged bucket of water
on it and was soon gotten under control.

Cash Yalue of Missionaries. .

Cash Value ef Missionaries.
THE popular estimate Of foreign
missions is that it costs a dollar 10
send twenty-five cents to foreign
lands, and that the same zeal, la
Dor and money expended upon
pagans at home would yield much
larger results. Dickens travesty
of the missionary cause in "Bleak
House"-the flannel jackets and
moral pocket-handkerchiefs and
Borriaboola-gha mission-has been
generally accepted as measure
ofthe wisdom, the disintcrestedness
and the usefulness of those who
believe in this method Of extend
ing Carl tianity and improving
the worlds morals.
Alter trial Of over sixty years
the missionaries have something
to say, and in arecently published
treatise have gathered together
testimony to the practical value
and efficiency Of their work. They
put it on the same basis as that
from which it is assailed, and main
tain that in dollars and cents the
system has already vindicated it
self.
To the question, DO missions
pay?" they say ''yes." They have
yielded large returns to the knowl-
edge OF mankind-its geography,
geology, philosophy, history, gen
eral literature, medical science,
music, commerce and the arts.
Noted travellers and scientists
ar c,ted in favor of their iadeb-
tedness to the researches and dis
coveries of missionaries. Carl
Ritter, the famous geographer,
sayshe could not have written his
great work without the aid of the
Missionary Herald, in which "the
reader must look to find the most
valuable documents that have
ever been sent over by any socie-
ty." Professor William d. Whit
ney, of Yale College, the famous
authority on language, is very en-
phatic in admitting his indebted
ness to the value of missionaries
to science and the obligations
which the American Oriental So
ciety and otheg Oriental societies
feel toward them.
Richard Fl. Dana, who recently
died, The author Of "Two Years
Before the Mast" says of the
Sandwich Island missions: Every
mission family was a source of
ciyilizing influence; each mission
house a dispensary, and each mis-
sionary school-teacher. l have
seen in their homes collections OF
animals, plants, shells and fowers,
valuable to science, and they have
often preserved the best, some
times the only, records Of vocanic
eruptions, earthquake and meteor
illogical observations
Many other missionaries have
attained in heathen lands great
reputation and usefulness as doc
; tors, some Of them hy teaching
modern medicine to the natives,
others by substituting scientific
msiical treatment for the super
stitious PRACTICES which constitutes
the healing art. They hAe estab
lished secular institutions of learn
ing, like the college at Beirut and
the Roberts College in Con-
stantinople, and they challenge
comparison with any other similar
work for the same period of time
in civilizing the people with whom
they have come into contact. If
it does not pay qarterly dividends
in cash, they claim that the returns,
If reckoned by decades and bali
centuries, will prove it the best
paying investment on the earih.
