no teacher, after his appointment by the trustees,
should lie disniSSt from a school tcrbout rsceir-

board at the same time also stated anthorlively
through these columns, that ali the teachers

tract AT the beginning Of this school term,

Bad RSad.

We would call the attention Of the county
commissioners and Of Frank Campbell the
supervisor for that section, to the bad condition
OF the road between this village and ST. Thomas
Church. The condition Of this road at present
is crying shame on the road system of The
county and unless something is speedily done
there will be several suits docketed agaust the
county for broken vehicles and manned horses,
and probably for personal inquiries sustained
by those compelled to travel over it. AT this
season of the year. generally, all the roads il
the county are in excellent order, and the
public can t'avel over them with peiftct east
and safety, but this case is an exception and q
strong exception 10 the rule. II this piece o.
road had recently become in this condition
probably there would be no just cause fol
complaint, but in view os the fact that it ha:
been SO for the last two or three weeks and no
the slightest effort made to remedy it there i:

Coed Fortune of an Editor.

Vivian Brent Esq, editor of the IndePend-
dent, has just been appointed to position as
auditor in the L :. Pension office in aShing-
ton and has assumed the duties of the Office
We congratulate brother Brent on his good
fortune, and hope he may find the duties OF his
position agreeable to him. He is highly quail
fled for such duties, and will, we have no
doubt, make very competent officer. The
Independent will seriously feel his absence from
his post, and regret the severance of the
agreeable and kindly journalistic and personal
intercourse that existed between us. Though
we have no doubt that he will find the role Of
one of Uncle Sam officials more agreeable and
remuueratiye than the thanklesS task of editing
IA county journal. We have no definite in
formation AS to the tenure of his present posi-
ton, but have been informed that il is only
temporary. We have not learned whether or
not he proposes to sever his corncrf,,n with
the L.ae pc nd, nj. We W ISL bro,LGI t.,lttvery
success in his new position, and hope that ia!
Hubbill will deal lightly with him in the mat
ter of circulars.

Excursion TO Chapel Point.

! \ large excursion from Washington under
the auspices of the Chapel Point Club, of that
city. came into Chapel Point at an early hour
on Sundty morning and spent the day at that
pleasant place. The excursionits numbered
about 800 persons and Were well behaved and
orderly set, as there was not, we believe, the
slightest cause for complaint during the time
they staid in our county. They attended
divine service al ST. Thomas Church in the
morning, and the pastor OF st. Aloysious
Church, Washing ton, the Rev. Father Me
Giveney, who came with the party, delivered
a most eloquent and impressive sermon
Father McGiveney was for number of years
professor of elocution at Woodstock College,
and as a pulpit orator he has few superisrs.-
Those who heard his sermon en- that day were
much impressed and " holly carried away by
his manner and language. 1t IS not often that
we in the country are treated 10 SO fine dis
course from the pulpit, and that it was fully
enjoyed can be attesicd by all who had the
pleasure of listening TO him. The exrurSonists
left about o clock for home.

More Rain.

Another heavy rain storm visited US on
Sunday and Monday of this week and during
those days the fall was very great in all sec
tions of the county. 1t feared that the
tobacco crop would be injured By the continu-
ed downfall by drowning it, but so far as We
can learn, there has been no damage in this
way, as crop is too far advanced 10 he injured
by the water. 1t was also feared that il the
sun came out warm and fright after the rain il
would have effect of making the crop ripen
too rapidly and jure it in that way but This
fear was dispelled by the cool winds and state
of the atmosphere Tuesday. So truly il
seems as if Providence is ticking special cart
of cur crops this season.
