With regard to the recent sad suicide of

Of Notre Dame, DR.. Bronardclls expressed
view that asphyXiailon in the rapid fall

given rise to some correspondence III La

depth Of fall having been about sixty.slx
metres, the velocity acquired IN the time

himself from the top OF the column OF

The legislature and Free Schools

The Legislature and Free Schools
The additional appropriation Of one
hundred thousand dollars to the pub
lie school fund by the Legislature is
an evidence Of the steady growth of
= healthy public sentiment in favor
of the education of the masses. De-
pressed by runaway Treasurer, who
is defaulter for over $20O, 900 Of the
State funds. the Legislature 10 ma
king the additional appropriation un-
der the circum stances must have felt
the force of the strong public pulse
in its favor. The people know thar
it is far better to use the revenue paid
BY themselves, for educating the poor
children Of the State. than to have it
lie idle in Treasury to be stolen by
dishonest officials.
The need and vital necessity Of free
schools was meyer felt keener than
within the last few years. The sho. t
session Of three months during the
year was seen to be almost q farical
and useless expenditure Of money
being by the scanty facilities offered
almost fruitless Of any good results.
The State would have been benefit
ted had the appropriation been made
for the present year As the bill At first
provided, bnt by amendment it was
made to apply to the years 1884 and
'85.
This marks one step forward for
the State of Alabama. It is to be
hoped that by the time for the assem-
bling of the next General Assembly,
public opinion will have so far advan-
Ted in favor Of free scht OILS and gen.
eral education as 10 demand still lar

Editor Gnzette:
As am forced to stay indoors tonight
and listen to the ''patter of the rain on the
roof have concluded to write you the
few dots gathered here and there during
the past week. have just read your edi-
torial on city or country life and think it
real good and timely, but Mr.. Editor there
are causes that propuce these effects-and
one of the principal one is the great lack
of opportunities to school the children in
tho country. The colored people have
been trained to the farm and they know
more about it than any other vocation and
it is one that seems to suit them, but they
say-and l must confess that there is some
weight in it,-that they work hard all the
year around and live on husks and come
out in debt at the end of the year and be-
sides they have no schools and when they
do it is only for three months. and the
teachers are generally incompetent This
is the great cause that induces our people
to seek homes in the towns.
Mr. Daniel Allison has moved to Berk-
lsy's.
Mr.. Sandy Smithers is having house
built on his place. Guess Sandy is
seeking q mate.
Mr., H. ]. Horton is getting all Of the
available hickory timber shipping North
to make AZ and pick helvss.
Mr.. Calvin Hollowell left here Sunday
for Wainsboro, Texas, where he has good
situation As cook. Success to "Cal."
Messrs Seat and brother have purchased
the interest of Mr., James Johnston in the
distiliery of Johnston and Seats and will
hereafter run as L. NJ. Seat and Bro,
MIR. Joe Z. Brandon is at last happy
he has boy.

Sunday.
Some white men around here have been
taking advantage Of the ignorance Of the
