THE congregation, of about 900
persons, in st. Peters Catholic
Church, Troy, N. Y, were startled
during the services on a recent Sum
day morning by the crashing of one
of the 800-pound clOck-weights
through the ceiling into the vesti-
bule. The people, especially many
of the women and children, were
terror-strIcken and made a wild
rush for the doors and windows, but
were finally quieted by Father Lud-
den before any serious injuries had
been received.

SCHOOL DISTRICT No. 4s, Clarke county,
w. T., Feb. %, 1882. To whom it may
concern: We, the residents of the above
named school district, owing to q sad and
unavoidable plague known as the measles
breaking out in this community at the home
of some Of the scholars, which will perhaps
oblige the teacher, Miss Robinson, to sus-
pend her school for an indefinite period, de-
sire herewith to express our entire satisfac-
ton and pleasure in the manner in which
Miss Robinson has taught and conducted the
said school Miss Robinson has given gen.
eral satisfaction, and has taught us that the
troubles and dissatisfaction heretofore ex-
listing in the above school district were
caused by the Encouragement on the part
of another teacher. Through Miss Robin
sons theory of teaching she has not only
now the love of all her scholars, but also the
highest regards of the entire district.

BRIDGING SALMON CRREK.-The petition
ers for bridge across Salmon creek at the
old Wilson mill are much disappointed be-
cause the county commissioners failed to
take the matter up at the late session Of the
board. Most Of the travel from the LOWS
river country crosses at that place and the
necessity for bridge is often seen, especi-
ally during the winter season whom the
creek is most Of the timo on boom. and
dangerous to ford. The persons interested
should present TO the board at its coming
session larger and louder petition. which
will then be heard anew, and require Some
action. There il no doubt about the bridge
being necsssity. - it il on ono Of the main
roads Of the county.

Referring to special tax Prof Robb read
extracts from the school law. Mr.. Durgin
said he estimated the amount that could be
raised by one levy of ten mill tax at
81, 600. Hubert Daniels moved that the
directors be requested to discontinue the
public school for the remainder OF the year
on the first of April next.
Mr.. Mcdonnell moved to amend the mo-
ton by saying that special tax of mills
be levied to continue the school until the
first of July next.
These questions were generally discussed,
when Mr. Mcconnell withdrew his amend
ment, and the motion of Mr.. Daniels was
carried unanimously.
Byron Daniels then offered the following
resolution:
Whereas, The public school house Of Van
couver School District, No. 6, is too small,
too old, and too generally dilapidated to be
adequate to the needs of said district, and,
Whereas, 1t is necessary and expedient
that new school-ho be built as soon as
practicable, and,
Whereas, 1t is believed that the sum Of
s. will be sufficient for this purpose,
therefore be it
Resolved, That the Board of Directors of
said district be and they are hereby re-
questcd to submit to the qualified school
electors of said district the question whether
a special tax Of ten mills on the dollar shall
be levied upon the taxable property of the
said district to raise the funds required for
the building aforesaid, and thereafter to
take such further steps as may be necessary
to carry out this project.
On motion of G. II. Whitney the words
'Ten thousand" were inserted in the blank
left in the resolution for the amount re-
quired to build the new school house, where
upon, on motion Of G. II. Kicker, tho reso-
luton was adopted.
On motion of s. w. Brown q committee
OF three was chosen to advise and assist the
directors in the matter Of selecting site fol
new school-house. Hubert Daniels, David
Wall and II. H. Gridley were chosen such
committee, after which the meeting ad-
journed.

Mr.. Byron Daniels il still firing away At
the old city advertising theme. which seems
to fern the chief Stock in trade Of his per-
sonal organ. He publishes list Of figures
from tho books" but finds it necessary
therein TO apologize for his methods Of count
ing inches. He should have pursued that
point further. until he demonstrated BY
actual count that the odd lines which he
counted for inches and which we do not
measure at all, have alone made difference
in charges amounting to al that is claimed.
We find no fault with his methods Of mcas-
ursmsnt, but he should be candid enough to
admit that between us the difference makes
largo amount in favor Of the city.

The Public school Meeting.

Pursuant to notice of the Directors of Van.
couver School District No. 6, q mass meet
ing was held at the Publice School house
last Friday afternoon, to consider whether
or not the public school should be continued,
and further, to consider the proposition to
build new school house. Judge VIM.
Ranck was chosen chairman and Byron
Daniels secretary. S. w. Brown stated the
object of the meeting to be as follows: The
school fund of the district for the current
year was about exhausted, and that the
school could not be continued longer than
until the lst of April next without too
greatly encroaching upon next years fund,
or resorting to special tax for tuitional
purposes; that there seemed to be differ
ence of opinion among the people about con-
tinuing the school, and many were in favor
of special tax for building new school
house.
The people were therefore called together
in an advisory capacity to assist the direc-
tors to come to such conclusion in the mat
ter as would meet the appreciation of ma
jority of the people.
G. w. Durgin, clerk Of the district, SUBJ
mitted a statement showing the disburse-
ments of the district since October 81, 1881,
as follows:

CORRECTIONAL paragraph going the
rounds of the newspapers states that "by q
recent decision of the Adjutant General Of
the Army, all soldiers who enlisted between
June %, 1861, and August 6, 1861, are en-
titled to a bountry." As theAdjutant Cen
eral is flooded with letters from discharged
soldiers from all parts of the country, who
think they are affected by this supposed de-
cision, the Army and Navy Journal states
on his authority that no such decision has
been made.
The advertisement of the now real estate
agents of Vancouver will be found in another
column. Mr.. Royal is well known to our
people in very favorable light. P. w.
Crawford is an old resident Of the Columbia
river country, having laid off the original
town of Vancouver in lS4S, and seven other
towns in the then Oregon Territory. Ever
since the organization of Cowlitz county he
has been county surveyor, and being for
many years deputy Surveyor under several
surveyor generals, he is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the whole lower Columbia
river country, affording grand opportunity
for intending buyers to obtain information.

A FEW THOUGHTS.

Housekeeping is not one of the lost
arts, as those who daily deplore the
" good old times would have us sup
pose; and though am aware that too
little attention Is being paid by the
girls ofto-day to a thorough domestic
education, l still venture to say that
there are more well-kept and well-or.
dered homes now, in proportion to the
population than there were seventy
five or even fifty years ago.
The immaculate order of those ;,n-
cient housnholds was owing in great
part to the small amount of furniture
and the absence of all those adorn-
ments that add so much grace and
beauty TO Cur modern homes.
These croakers would lead us to
believe that the traditional grandmoth-
ers were capable of and accomplished
much more than the women of the
present time. They contend that the
spinning, weaving, knitting, and the
quilt, butter, and cheese making to
which their time was given was more
of a strain upon their nerves and health
than we could endure. do not agree
with this idea. The average house
keeper of to-day works more hours
hours and accomplishes more thar. her
Think for moment of the
duties of which thew had no
idea in the olden time. But, you will
say, look at the labor-saving inven-
tons that she has to help her. 1 admit
this; but whenever we have a labor
S wing machine we at once spend the
time saved in that manner, in doing
some other work, instead of devoting
it, as we should, to recreation an rest;
and. SO far as my experience goes, the
greater number of these labor-savers
make more work than they do.
