The Spring term Of College has opened with
an attendance of over a hundred students
large number of whom are new ones. Some of
the young men, knowing how rigidIy discipline
is enforced here. put Mr.. Merriman's two-horse
wagon on top of the College building one night
last week. where it remained until Sunday
merning, when the faculty caused it to be taken
down If the faculty will now pursue the same
idea that that they did in having our mail IA
cilities curtailed becaused it would be easier to
enforce discipline we may expect an order for
bidding the use of wagons entirely, because
students will get into mischief with them,
thereby interfering with their studies. Cider
mills, too are to be demolished for young men
will clandestinely get cider and when they get
it that way, will be or less eXhilerated
soon after, which also intcrferes with their
studies. 1t will be much easier to enforce dis
clpine If there are no cider mills. The manu-
facture of Jugs must also be suppressed be-
cause the Presidents valet furnishes the young
men whisky in jugs, $50 it is reported), which
sometimes seriously interfcres with students
studies Now if there were no jugs it would be
very much easier 10 enforce discipline. 1t won't
do to regulate the valer, because it would re-
quire little effort. little more time and
perseverance, and we will have matters so ar
ranged that young men cannot get into mischief
if they are ever much inclined. Then the
faculty will be equal to the emergency, and
discipline will be enforced

Frazier's Root Bitters are not dram
shop whisky beverage, but are strictly
medicinal in every sense. They act
strongly upon the liver and kidneys,
keep the bowels open and regular,
make the weak strong, heal the lungs,
build up the nerves and cleanse the
blood and system OF every impurity.
For dizziness, rush of blood to the
head, tending to apoplexy, dyspepsia,
fever and agee, dropsy, pimples ana
blotches, scrofuious humors and sores,
letter, ring worm, white swelling, cry
sipelas, sore eyes, and for young men
suffering from weakness or debility
caused from imprudence, and to fe-
males in delicate health, FraZler's Root
Bitters are especially recommended.
Dr. Frazier: / have used two bot
ties of your Root Bitters for dyspepsia,
dizziness, weak ness and kidney disease,
and they did me more good than the
doctors and all the medicine L ever
used. From the first dose took be-
gan to mend, and am now in perfect
health. and feel as well as ever did.
I consider your medicine one OF the
greatest of blessings.

EDITOR DEMOCRATIC PRESS May
l ask the favor to reply to our worthy
Treasurer and p. NJ. in his attempt
to disprove my assertions in the origin
al of last week and here l will be brief.
1st, He says that in the estimation of
large majority of our citizens the
Chronicles are uncalled for. I believe
it. They love darkness rather than
light; why, because, &c. End. They
misrepresent Mr.. S. B. M, &c. True,
Mr.. M. is one of the nearest neighbors
to the writer, and he states, as inform
ed by him; this you have answered as
misprint. 3rd. I got my informa-
ton from Mr.. Hatfield, the blacksmith,
word for word as in the original, and I
consider him just as truthful and hon.
orable as 8. Is. Morris. 4th, am very
sorry if anything serious has happened
to our Treasurer, but think not. This
is my misunderstanding him for the
correction-instead of Township it
should have been County Treasurer.
With regard to the thinness and pre-
lenses he speaks of, / still challenge
him to successfully contradict my
assertion. 9Th. Further, he says that
my statement of Mr.. Morris holding
the office of Justice of the Peace the
first three years without bond, was
in his opinion, incorrect. He gives his
reasons. Milo, L think that is one of
the tbinnest things 1 ever heard of.
The public wantsomething more than
your opinion to disbelieve suchweighty
facts, aAd now to come to the climax,
the writer told me himself that he had
been Treasurer either five or six years
come Spring, and had never held a
bond of S. B Morris; and further, that
he held no legal bond of A. P. Curtis,
the other Justice elected last year.
And now my fellow citizens of Por-
tage county, and especially of Charles
town, claim no disproval and but one
trifling error of this important matter.
Here endeth the first Book of Chron-
icles, the second will be ready soon.
Yours truly, STEPHEN ALLEN.

Correspondence
Our Winter schools have all closed their per-
lormances for the present, only to commence
again ere long under the auspices of new
corps of instructors. Our teachers last Winter
gave good satisfaction. save two or three of the
"itinerant'' ones. who seemed to be conducting
n farce-a play without design. without a
moral and without a rival: only to destroy the
good morals of those pupils which their parents
have so long and carefully been teaching them.
They were places for amusement to continue
only three or four months, and finally close, and
all the instructors to go home sorrowing, re-
JoIcing, anxious to get, at least, one nights re-
pose, Could we paint picture that weuld con-
tain all, or half. or even the one hundredth part
that occurred i'll two or three of our last Win
ter's schools, it would undoubtedly furnish ma
terial enough to last a good panorama one year
performing new play every evening. and per-
forming six nights a week. A passer by was
generally salu eel in some form OF other; some
times it would be SMILE followed by nod of
the head-a - How do you do?'' aud How is
your daughter?" 1t sometimes occurred that
the person going by would only receive vol
ley Of paper wads. This of course depended
somewhat upon circumstances, viz; who the
person was that going b, and how long it
mas DGen since the teacnCf'S DaCk was turned
toward the pupils-tor it was agreed by every
pupil present that as soon as the teachers at
tentiom was called in another direction. every
pupil present should cast every wad in his pos
ses sion at once toward the teacher-or to see a
rubber boot kicked by of the boys from one
end Of the school house to the other, ahd then
kicked back by of the boys who had just
gone up to ask the teacher question Proba-
