Circular to School Officers.

Prof. Kiehle, superintendent of public
instruction, has issued circular to school
officers touching the following points:
1. District Treasurer's Bonds a re-
cent decision of the supreme court County
of Scott vs.. Ring) it is held that the obi
CATION of sureties upon official bonds does
not extend beyond the time for which the
officer is elected. This decision applies to
the bonds of school district treasurers.
Hence, upon reelection the treasurer must
give new bond. The district clerk will
see that this important provision is thor
oughly complied with. County auditors
will please make careful inquiry that no
certificate of clerks be accepted through
misunderstanding of the law.
2. Election of District Officers-(D.
The election must be by ballot. (2). The
election must be by majority of votes of
those present. If twelve are present, and
though but ten vote, seven votes must be
cast for the one elected.

Syllabus prosecution for the sale
of Intoxicating liquors to minor, under
sec. 26, Oh. 16, gen. stat. 1878, which for
bids''any person" to SO dispose of intoxicat-
ing liquors, it is not material whether the
accused was person licensed to sell in
toxicating liquors, nor whether his occu-
patti On was one of those named in the latter
part of the same section, saloon keeper,
etc.
The latter part of the section prescrib-
ing penalties to be imposed upon any of
the classes of persons there named who
should, after notice, sell intoxicating
liquors to minors, creates an offense dis
tinct from that indicated in the former
part of the section.
In the trial of a criminal action justice
of the peace is not required to keep a
record of all the evidence not upon appeal
upon questions of law, is he required to
return ell the evidence given upon the
trial? A certifcation and return of the
justice of such evidence as being all Of
the evidence given upon the trial, being
unauthorized, constitutes no part of the
official return of the Justice, or of the
record of the cause in the appellate
court. Hence the appellate court cannot
consider the matter SO certified for the
purpose of determining whether the judg-
ment is sustained by sufficient evidence.
Judgment affirmed.

to whether or not the law has been
complied with, the inability of the from
tier settler to provide himself with nee
essary amount Of proper trees, their gen.
eral ignorance upon the subject of the
most beneficial methods of cultivation, the
looseness with which the statutes of the
United States upon the subject are enforc-
ed, have all served to cripple tbs effect of
such legislation, so that it has not resulted
as benefcially as it might have done in
the actual planting and cultivation
of timber. We have therefore The
honor to recommend to your body an in
quiry by you as to the ACCESSIBILITY of es-
tablishing in each of the treeless counties
of this state a county forestry, and the de-
voting therein of at least one section of
the public lands to the cultivation and
growth of the proper kinds of trees and
timber, and according to the most ap-
proved methods, the distribution to the
settlers, by the county, of such timber,
when the same shall have been grown, and
also the distribution among them of
the necessary information to enable
them to successfully cultivate such timber.
The expense of such forestries would be
| nominal in comparison with the benefit
which they would confer upon the entire
state, as the cultivation of one section of
land devoted wholly to timber could be
done at comparatively slight expense. and
the benefits resulting from such course,
both to the settler in those treeless regions
and the state at large, in the course of ten
years, would be absolutely beyond compar-
| ison.'
We have much satisfaction in stating to
you that the result of the adoption of your
predecessors of the suggestion contained
in our former report, touching the sheep
and wool interests of this state, have been
most satisfactory, and that this interest is
now sufficiently protected by the laws en-
acted by former legislatures to call for no
further particular reference or comment
from US.
In closing this report we have only to say
further, that in our view it is sufficient
for the proper performance of our duties
to call your attention generally to the
most important matters or conditions af-
fecting the interests of the agricultural
classes, whom it is our province to repre-
sent before you. Under the present Or
ganization of this board but little can be
dono to further particular interests. The

The attention of this body
has been largely given to the e1ami-
question in this state. We find that nder
the present condition of affairs the exten-
sive growth of our railroads, the energy
with which they have been built until they
extend to nearly every hamlet in our state,
and reach far beyond our western bounda-
ries, we find, we say, the business of the
transportation of the products of the soil
and of all kinds of freight
has passed entirely into the
hands of the railroad companies.
This condition of things is one upon
which we have to a certain extent the
right to congratulate ourselves; its result
is to establish a rapid and ordinarily sat-
isfactory method of moving to Eastern
markets our large and annually increasing
crop of grain, but while this effect is pro-
duced and the general prosperity of the
state in one view is advanced, we feel
many and gross abuses existing which
your honorable body have the power to
regulate and extinguish.
It is not the view of the members OF
this board to suggest that either
railroad companies or any other common
carriers, should not receive fair and ade-
ouate remuneration for their services and
for their transportation of either freight
or passengers, but we do say, inasmuch as
they have been and are liable to be the re-

AT the residence of Mr., j, S. Hara
man, in Plaquemino Brulee, last We'd
nesday night at the hour of twelve,
negro, lin the absence of Mr., Hartman
who was on business to Prud'homme.
City, entered his residence by way of
a back window, where Mrs. Hartman,
her two little children and a colored
nurse were sleeping, Mrs. IL, on wakep-
ing saw an object hunehed up in the
corner of the room, She got up, went
to the far end of her gallery thinking
that her "midnight visitor would
leave in few moments. She returned
and to her surprise the villain was in
his former position, When Mrs, II,
saw such determination on the part Of
Mr.. Negro, she at once stepped in the
room, lit the lamp and at the same mo-
meut put it in his face in order to iden-
tify him, AT this moment Mrs, Ii,
reached for a shot gun near at hand
and in an instant had the gun cooked
end triggers pulled in his face, but,
only for that careless husband who had
few days previous shot off the gun
and failed to reload it, there would
have been a negro less in Plaquemine,
He however, made q bold move for the
front door and made his escape, only
followed by Mrs. II. and her dogs as
far as a cabin on the place, which was
occupied by an old coIored hand on
the place, who she at once called but
got up too late to make any headway
on her visitor, Mr.. Hartman returned
next day, and on learning what had
happened (AIrs, II. gave full desorip-
ton of the negro,) took few friends
and made diligent search for the rascal
but no clue could be had, This, Mr.,

AGRHcULTUssAL ITEMS.

The fall season for transplanting
trees ought to commence in Septem-
Der, or earlier, if the foliage is withered
and the wood ripe.
Many times for both eggs and flesh
it is a good thing to cross fowls. Two
good breeds in this manner often make
fine fowls, which are solid flesh makers
and good egg producers.
More attention is now given to bee
keeping in the South than ever before.
The old-fashioued "bee-gum y has gen
orally given place to improved hives,
and large increase of honey is the
result.
The hay crop of the present season
promises to be the largest gathered for
many years. The weather, which has
been unfayorable for most cultivated
crops, has been all that could be de-
sired for the production of a large
amount of grass.
A man with a sharp and polished
hoe. can do twice the work in given
time that one can with hoe that is
dull and crusty. There is economy in
keeping a hoe sharp, if it is worn out
in week in consequence of frequent
contact with a grindstone. Laborers
who object to using the hoes that are
often placed in their hands are entirely
satisfied to use those that arc sharp
and well polished.
A Missouri farmer writes: AS soon
as | find an animal in distress from
bloat from eating wet grass or clover
| wet it along the back with cold we'll
water, and also place a large cloth or
blanket of several thicknesses over the
paunch, after being saturated with all
the cold water that it will absorb, and
over that a dry blanket. If the cold
water is properly applied, one will not
have long to wait for cure.
The banks or ravines and the sides
of small streams arc excellent places
for planting fruit trees. The soil is
well drained and is of very little value
for raising ordinary crops, 1t can not
be plowed without endangering the
banks, and causing them to wash away.
The water in the streams will prevent
the roots of the trees from becoming
dry even when drought prevails. All
have observed how well forest trees
thrive that grow on the banks of
streams, and it seems strange that
fruit-raisers have not generelly learned
a lesson from nature and planted frnit
trees in the places where forest trees
do SO well.
A brood sow should be a good
mixer. However good in other re-
spects, if deficient in this she should
hardly be retained as breeder. An
abundance of milk for the first eight
OF ten weeks of their existence is the
best preparation young pigs can have
to fit them for profitable growth in
after life. It is not always possible to
decide with certainty whether or not
a young sow will prove to he a good
mixer, but as with cows SO with pigs,
we may learn from observation and
trial to know in some degree, judging
from their general appearance, what TO
expect. Much will depend upon the
dam aud graDd-dam in this regard.
Milking qualities in swine are as surely
translnissable to progeny as in cattle.

EiqHOr Legislation.

New Orleans Times Democrat
A strong temperance movement has
lately shown itself in the northern por,
tion of this state, which has been agi
tating both for local option and for a
Sunday law, prohibiting the sale of H.
quor on the sabbath, In many par,
ishes the temperance advocates have
the sympathy and support of the peo-
pie, and quite a number of wards have
prohibited and banisbed liquor saloons.
This question forced itself prominently
before the Legislature the other day
and showed a much greater strength
than anybody eyer imagined as belong
ing to it. 1t cannot be denied that
the anti-liquor people in this state are
growing stronger every year. They are
most powerful and influential among
the white population of Rapides,
Union, Claiborne, Lincoln and the en-
tire bill country of Northern Louisiana.
Whether this li9uor matter ever forces
itself forward prominently as an Issue
in State politics OF not, it promises to
be a question that will always be earn
estIy agitated and urged, both before
the people and the legislature, by the
auti-liquor element of Louisiana.
