The Old Game ReIeAted.

The Northern Pacific officers in New York
say in reference to the bills introduced in con-
gress affecting the land grant of their road that
the same tactics were reBorted to at the last sea-
sion of congress-, and they expected to see them
repeated for two years to cot,ie. The feeling
uyon the part OF the officers of the road is that
congress cannot possibly be brought to wrong
the 5000 stockholders who have snt $4O,- !
900, 600 into the enterprise On their faith in
the governments promises, by taking from
them the land irrevocably branded but not yet
technically earned, through which they are now
constructing the road with the aid of 2, 900
men, and doing all in their power to finish it by
September l 1882.

Continuance OF Teachers Salaries ln Gas,

The school officers of Minnesota have
been in doubt about their responsibility in
continuing salaries Of teachers during sucl.

that If teacher is under a contract for term

Suspension; orif, also, the teacher is discharged
from further service or for given time. he is
bor nd to use all diligence to employ his time
prchtabls. He may then recover the. amount
Of his salary less the amount received fel
service elsewhere performed during the given
time. If, however, the school is closed by
order Of the board but temporarily, with the
understanding that the teacher should be ready
to resnme at any time, his salary would con.
