Decoration passed of in II very
satisfactory manner. At u little past
8 II. M, n procession formed, of veter-
ans, school girls, choir, school boys
and citizens, in order, at the school
house, and ahsr singing by the choir
and an appropriate prayer by Rev. Mr..
Hough, proceeded to the cemetery.
After singing, we had the pleasure of
listening to Rev. Mr.. Hough who had
kindly accepted our invite to assist us
on this occasion to pay our tribute OF
respect to the fallen heroes buried in
this cemctery-ninc in number-which
consisted of singing verse and decor
ating each grave, then marched back
to the village and after singing and
benediction "broke ranks" The sing
ing was excellent, and the address by
Mr.. Hough was one Of the best we
ever heard, although he did not extol
the patriotism of Woodstock village on
this day, the hearty vote of thanks was
we'll merited. About 90 took the noon
train to attend the decoration at w. Il.
Junction, and we must say the Hart
ford people treated us very handsomely.
We returned by an extra train at 4.3O
p. M. The camp fire in the evening
drew large number, and appeared to
be greatly enjoyed by all. We would
extend our thanks to Mr.. Porter for
his kindness, and the reduced rates
which enabled all to attend who had a
desire to do so.
Quite lot of new and desirable
books have been added to our Sabbath
school library, and we have also made
an exchange of old books with the
Bridgewatcr Sabbath school. We now
have choice and interesting reading for
all. Thanks to whom thanks are due.

Death OF Morris c. shaw.

A telegram from Merritt Chandler
announces the death of Morris G. Shaw,
brother of Mrs. Chandler, at Ann ArbOr.
Thursday at o'clock p. m. This will be
sad news to his numerous friends in our
village. Morris was young man of
more than ordinary ability, great
student, always seeking after knowledge.
He possessed heart as tender as
woman's and found his greatest pleas
ure in his studies and contributing to
the happiness of others. Sinking no
duty he was ever ready to do his share
in the battle of life. For few years he
had devoted considerable of his time to
the study of mineralogy and in further
ance of this was attending the Univer-
sity this winter, giving his attention
principally to chemistry. To Mrs.
Chandler he was both son and brother,
she having had the care of him from a
youth up, and in her affection there Is
not heart in the community but feels
for her and sympathizes with her and the
mourning relatives in their sorrow. In
response to a telegram his brother
Thomas was brought down from his
home near Black lake and Thursday
morning started for Ann ArbOr, too
late to see his brother alive. The re-
mains were taken to Cassopolis, where
a sister resides, and there inferred.

News From China-The Opium Crop-A
Possible Encounter with the Japa-
nese. .
SAN Francisco, Feb. 9.-The Occidental
and Oriental steamer Gaelic has arrived
bringing advices from Yokohama to January
"a and from Hong Kong to January IA. The
latest estimate of the crop of opium raised in
western China is as follows: Western HUI
peech 1000 piculs Apiculis 1873 piculs,
Eastern Szechnen AZ, 900. piculs, Runnan 40,
600 piculs and Kiverohow 10, 900 piculs total
$4,000 piculs. This, it must be borne in
mind, is the production of western China
only. In shantung China and Manchuria it
is extensively grown.
According to the Tientsin correspondent of
the Shanghai Courier there is much talk
among the Chinese officials about the mes
sage from the Corean capital asking for arms
and soldiers to eNpel the Japanese who have
fastened on two settlements on the shore OPP
posite the west coast of Japan. All accounts
agree that the Japanese are very cruel
and that the Coreans are minded to
raise and massacre them. There will be Sc
rious trouble presently, as the Chinese are
very angry about the incessant expressions
and annoyance received from Japanese.
What Japan wants in Corea no one knows
clearly. She has right there. Forcible
seizure of the ports must cost good round
sum yearly rather than bring benefit and the
Japanese stay on Russian suffrance. Nc

Educational Statistics.

The Annual Report of the state Board of
Education.
The annual report of the State Board of
Education says there were 1919 children
enumerated january 1, 1881, as between four
and sixteen years of age. In 1880 the num-
Der was 40, 235. If the school children were
in 1881 the same fraction q in 40 of the
population that they were in 1880, the State
increased Is, 545 during the year, or two and
half per cent.
There were 1854 public schools maintain
ed during the year in Connecticut. The re-
port speaks of the difficulty of obtaining the
figures of private schools-a matter which is
to be reached by bill offered this week in
the Legislature.
The Normal school graduates forty-tive
persons during the year, and has always, be-
sides graduates, a good many pupils who
leave before their course is finished and lose
the most valuable parts of it, but yet are
made better teachers by what they get. The
school is cordially commended by the Board.
Teachers institutes and number of ''edu-
cational meetings" have been held during the
year with success. The secretary besides
managing these has secured the prohibition
of the sale of corrupting literature on the
railroads of the State besideg calling general
attention to the cost of much reading matter,
and has given further stimulus to village i'm
provement. Teachers associations have been
formed and, the report says, are of growing
Importance.
The Board officially approves of the effort
to get the national government to appropri-
ate money to aid education in the 1literate
southern States. There have been delays in

Remarkable Work in the Mint.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 9.-The Assay COM
mission concluded its labors this afternoon
and late tonight agreed upon the report to
be submitted to the President. The COM
mittee on counting stocks states that its sount
has verified the respective amounts exhibited
by the abstract sheets on the books of the
mint. The weighing committee report that
all the coins tested were within the limit of
exactness required by law and that very few
vary from the standard by even one-half of
the legal allowance. The report adds that
it is many years since the results were SO
closely in conformity with the standard and
that the result is the more striking in view
of the enormous coinage of the year, over
one hundred millions of gold and silver or
equal to the coinage of seventeen European
nations. The assay committee which test ed
the reserve coins from the various mints both
in Massachusetts and individually report that
the greatest deviation in fineness ffom the
standard was far below the limits allowed by
law, and exhibited in a remarkably degree
the great care and skill exercised in the oper.
ations of the mint. The analysis of the cop.
per present as alloy also showed that it, was
fully in accordance with the requirements of
law
