The excellence of the Plattcville Nor

placed upon the labors of teachers.
Only forty teachers are received into

department, and, in addition, assistants
are provided for these departments.
None of the teachers are over-crowded
with work, and they are therefore able
to do we'll what they do.

A FIRE occurred in the town of Fenni-
more, Section 10, one-half mile north
of the village, about eight o'clock last
Friday night, by which the barn, car
riage house, granary, and other out
buildings belonging to Mr.. John Per-
kins were totally destroyed, together
with all his farm machinery. 100 bushels
of oats and 100 bushels of old corn.
The loss is estimated at between 5000
and $500; was insured for $400. There
were two mules, four horses and one
colt in the barn at the time it was dis
covered on fire, buG by great exertion
all of them were saved. The fire is
supposed to have been set by some evil
disposed person.

1t is one of the worst faults or him
ORANGES of graded schools that, by a
false economy, too many pupils are as
signed to one teacher. Lancaster errs
grievously in this matter. Any think
ing person will admit that teacher
powers are greatly crippled, and the
pupils opportunities correspondingly
decreased when there are ninety,
seventy, or sixty-five pupils IN one room
to be instructed almost wholly by one
teacher. The improvement of the Lam
caster pupils will necessarily be consid-
erably retarded this year by this cause.
There are now more than $50 enrolled,
making an average of over fifty for each
teacher, even including the higher
grades. We believe that true economy
would limit the number to forty.

THE BOSCOBEL FAIR.
Another Successful Exhibition Crowns the Efforts
OF the Association.

The Fair at Boscobel, last week, was
a success as usual. 1t was successful in
the attendance of people,; successful in
point of interest; successful in its exhi-
tons, and successful financially. Al
though Friday was wet disagreeable
day. the receipts at the gate, S243,
showed that portion of the people, at
least, were determined to see the show
out.
In some way, the mere idea of fair
at Boscobel, gets the people of that sec
ton in readiness to attend. The HER.
AID, however, is pleased to say that the
officers of the society leave nothing I'M
done that will promote the pleasure of
the people and bring dollars to the
treasury of the Association. The ex-
hibits this year were more numerous
and of better quality than ever before
displayed there. This was more es-
pecially noticeable in the Fine Art hall,
the horse and cattle sheds, the swine
and sheep pens and the agricultural
machinery department. Every stall
was filled. all of the pens were occu-
pied, and more had to be erected, while
the amount of ground occupied with
farm machinery was nearly double what
it has been heretofore.
Without going into an extensive re-
port of the fair, THE HERALD will note
few of the many exhibits that attract
ed attention. The exhibit of Halstein
cattle made by Messrs. vanderhoof g.
Cobb, OF Bloomington, was fine; and a
calf raised by Mr.. v. and named
German Boy" does credit to the name
it bears. These gentlemen have been
assidious in their endeavors to procure
fine blood'i in their Halstein herd, and
the impaired two-year-old bull there ON
exhibition, was the admired of all the
cattle on exhibition. Then, too, there
were the Durhams, shown by Mr..
1HoiunS Aoimcys Va ECuuiiuolC, euo
Galloways. shown by Messrs. A. Pal
mer & Sons, and other equally fine
cattle. Some considerable attention
was given by visitors to the coop of fine
brown Leghorn chickens, exhibited by
Mr.. G. Christ, of Boscobel. They were
fine specimens of their breed and were
greatly admired.
The races seemed to be what the
people went to see, and The HERALD
will try to say something about what
kind of races they were. There were
six good races, with purses aggregat-
ing $3.50, divided in most liberal man.
ner. The first race was on Wednesday
the 2:40 class, in which there were
seven entries, all from a great distance
and all capable of doing some fine work.
The race was exciting from the start tc
the finish, on account of the slow ones
each endeavoringto get second money

Quite number of pupils of the First

Quite number of pupils of the First
Primary department are much too
young to go to school. Some of them
seem like mere babes without the least
idea of the nature or obligations of the
school-room; and in every exercise they
are a positive hindrance to those of
proper age and intelligence. Their
awkward and infantile efforts at climb
ing up stairs, and finding their way into
and out of chapel, where they have to
be guided, pushed, pulled, turned about,
and almost carried by those older,
would be quite amusing if the delay
which it causes the whole school were
of no consequence. That department
now has 80 pupils enrolled, and with
such large number it is unfortunate
that it must serve in the double capacity
of school and nursery. Probably the
most absurd provision of the Wisconsin
school laws is that which makes school
age to commence at four years.

FoR the benefit of such of our readers
as may be ignorant of the law on this
point, we wish to state that poll taxes
must be paid. There is no way to get
round it. A number of cases in this
town have lately came up in which per-
sons have refused to pay their poll tax.
and these cases, in the hands of the
proper officers of the law, have pro-
ceeded in this wise: A civil warrant is
issued, calling for the body of the de-
PENDANT exactly the same as a
criminal warrant, and is served
by the Sheriff. If it is then
found that the defendant has been
called upon and refused to pay the
money, a judgment is rendered against
him and his property. in default ofpay-
mcnt of the which judgment he is con-
fined in the county Jail.

A SOCIAL
Flu rnishing Food For the GOssips OF
S~teubenyiIle.

Last night the Cincinnati Enquirer con.
tanned the particulars, telegraphed from
Columbus, of an escapade of a young mar.
ried lady Of Steubenville, daughter OF n
OF the wealthiest citizens of that town,
which has furnished the gossips OF he
place sufficient material for a weeks talk.
The essentials OF the story are as follows:
Some months ago Annie, daughter OF Mr..
Jesse Salmon, an old and wealthy citizen,
ran away with Charles A. Reynolds, a
young attorney, and were married at Paris,
Pa. Annie had always been a wild sort of
a girl, and her elopement was in entire
keeping with her previous life, and there
fore excited no particular comment when
it became known.
In a short time they commenced house.
keeping, her father giving them a fine res.
idence INT assisting his son.in.law TO fur-
nish it in hne style. The husband was
Solicitor for the city, and with his salary
and from the income derived from his
law practice he was enabled TO provide
for his family in quite a sunptuous
manner. Every body remarked how much
the couple were attached to each other, and
how pleasantly they were getting along;
but such seems not to have been the case,
for behind the scenes her jealousy and
temper caused constant pickering and
trouble. Finally all this eliminated in
The grand act in the play which came OFF
last week.
On Wednesday morning last it was first
whispered, and next boldly announced,
that Mrs. Charles \. Reynolds and Jennie
Irwin had run away, taking with them all
the yaluables of a portable nature Mr..
Reynolds house contained, in the
way Of silver plate. lace curtains,
his gold watch and chain, money,
etc. 1t was soon known that they had
gone west on Pan Handle train No. 5, hav-
ing purchased tickets for Cincinnati and
also for Dennison, in order to throw off
any pursuit. Early next morning Mr..
Salmon and Mr.. Reynolds started in
pursuit of the fugitiyes. At Columbus,
so the story goes, Mr.. Salmon
stopped of, leaving the husband to go on
TO Cincinnati. While in Columbus the
poor father was so crazed with grief that 1t
is reported he attempted to commit suicide,
but was prevented by friends. Later, he
returned home. On Friday he received a
telegram announcing that the two young
women had been found in Columbus. He
went out on the evening train and brought
them home Saturday morning.
The husband returned home Saturday
night, and refuses to any longer recognize
his wife. A divorce will probably be the
result. He is said TO have married the
young lady against the advice and consent
OF his relatives and friends.
