School Board Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of the
School Board was held in the council
chambers on Wednesday evening at
which considerable business was trans
acted.
A levy of mills on the dollar was
made on all taxable property in the
school district, as returned to the COun-
ty Auditor, for the support of public
schools in the city, and an additional
levy of / mill to be used for repairs on
buildings and payment of Indebtedness.
This levy, together with the ] mill State
tax, permanent fund from State, and
High School fund will bring the aggre-
gate to something over $l5,0OO.
Mr.. Fletcher, from the Finance Com
mIttee, made very complete report to
the Board, which We had hoped to pub
lish, but cannot do so this week.
The interest paid in 1881 on bonded
and floating Indebtedness amounted to
$1,640.65. For the same purpose for
the school year ending May 3lst, 1882,
the amount thus paid was $l,740.81. AT
the commencement of the school year
in 1882, there was outstanding bonds
against the school district to the amount
of $4,000. OF this amount, $1,000
bore per cent. interest and $4,000
per cent. makingsa total of $1,000
interest. We find by examining the
Secretary's report for the year, as above
noted, that the interest paid amounted
to 81, 74O.Sl or $G50.SO in excess O
what the bonds called for. This amount
of interest must of necessity been created
through loans for current EXPENSE
which, at per cent, would cover inter
est on over $1,000.
According to the Secretary's report
the amount of bills payable in 1881 wa
81, 4O4.S5. while the report of 1882
shows bills payable to be $8,5S1.29 o
an increase of $7,l68.44 in a singh
school year.

School of Cambria gave their supelinten-
dent, Mr.. Henry Hughes, asurprise par
ty at his home last Saturday evening,
and presented him with beautiful easy
chair. Mr.. David Pugh made the

his thanks.
Mr.. Hughes has been the superinten

Attempted Suicide.

On Monday afternoon, last, JOIN
Vougt. II german of 10 years, attempted
self.destruction by hanging, the circum
stances being briefly these:
For several days the old gentleman
had acted rather queerly, and on tho
day of his attempted suicide his sor
Fritz, was engaged in saving wood fol
the house. The old man urged him to
leave off saving and go away from the
house. Finally Fritz left to get his
saw sharpened, and as he says was
away from the house about twenty-five
or thirty minutes. During this time
Mr.. Nougt procured ladder from the
barn, took it into the house and secure.
ly fastened all the doors. In the cell
ing of the room is an old fashioned
scuttle-hole, and across this board.
Climbing up the ladder he fastened one
end of the rope about the board, adjust
ed the other end to his neck and step.
ping of the ladder, swung by the neck
between ceiling and floor.
When Fritz returned and found the
doors fastened against him, he burst
through one and found the old gentle
man as above reported. fastening to
a neIohboring house he secured aid, and
MIR. Vougt was taken down. DR.. Warn
er was called, administered restoratives
and the unfortunate man partially re-
stored to consciousness, but seemed in
great pain through his chest. His neck
was considerably swollen, caused by
the :ightness of the rope, but not as
badly as might have been expected.
Certain it is, that had he hung a very
little time longer life would have been
extinct.
Mr.. Vougt is among the oldest inhab.
itants of our county. Some 90 years
ago he had stroke OF palsy, since
which time he has gradually grown
worse, and for some time food has had
to he administered to him by other
hands than his own. Feeling that he
was burden to Others as well as to
himself, and that his usefulness had
long since ceased, are matters which
are supposed to have led him to the
cOmmittal of the rash act.
