The Rep. and the Board of EduoatIon.

THE Repository believes Canton has
an excellent School Board, that jealous
ly watches the interests of the schools,
but like all bodies, lit may be deceived in
man. 11th.
This is different from the Repository
reflection on the Board, that we resent
ed in our article of Wednesday. But
contrast with the above the following g
from the same article, few lines be-
low:
I'VE are also aware that several teach
"ers were employed because they were
Democrats, and MeKane was among
''the number"
Now, would "an excellent School
Board, that jealOusly watches the inter-
ests of the schools" do this? Will the
Repository name the other several tea
chers employed because they were DEM
OcratsP" By so doing the Repository
will enlighten at least one member of
the Board as to the politics of the eleY-
en- gentlemen teachers, and possibly also
the forty odd lady teachers.
With view of calming the perturbed
feelinks Of the innocent" of the Rep, 70
would say that MeKane has gone, and
that the Board has engaged a worthy
gentleman to take his place. The Gin
DOcent" claims credit for causing Me
Kane's dismissal" The records of the
Board show no dismissal" but resig-
nation and acceptance. But then this
self-praise feeds vanity and in such ca
ses it is allowable. 1t is a fellow tick
ling himself; and if it makes him feel
good, all right.
We assure the Repository, and all
whom it may concern, that the Canton
Board of Education is quite a haTmOni-
Gus body, for each. member is earnestly
sOlicitOus to do his duty to the public
and to the schools, and in this no MEM
Der is influenced by other considerations.
If the Board of Education has a ma
jOrity who are Democrats, the RepOsi
tried to make the Board wholly Repub-
lican-and failed.

We are pleased to announce that OF
Tuesday, Jan. 18th, the famous comedi
an, Mr.. Sol Smith Russell, will appear
In this city. In the line of what may
properly be classified as refined comedy,
Sol Smith Russell has no superior in
this country. All who have seen him
know that his impersOnatiOns are some
what marvellous. Long ago he won his
way to a deservedIy high place in +he
genuine admiration of the American
public. A more remarkably many-sided
man than Sol Smith Russell could hard
ly be imagined. He has more heads
than company of actors usually num-
Der. No other man can now be recalled
who has in so complete development
the faculty of metamOrphOsis. Work of
so true ring and fine quality as his
does not pail; it grows with acquain-
tance, and Mr.. Russell has the good for
tune to be lOnged for, Many will be
glad to learn of the coming of this truly
great artist.

A veritabIe Fish Tale.

This is true story, for the man who
told IL to the reporter saw the man who
had informed him, and the second man
had seen the performance. The anee-
dOte is as follows: The ice on SipDO
lake is quite thick, somewhere in the
neighbOrhOOd of ten inches, and as the
water in many places near the shore is
quite shallow, the ice sometimes ex-
tends almost to the bottom. Quite a
number of men are engaged in cutting
the crystal for summer use from this
lake, and as man who arrived in the
city yesterday from that place, tells a
most remarkable tale. He said theV had

separated and lifted out, when it was
found that the saw had cut through
eighteen catfish that were sOlidly imbed-
ded in the ice, while underneath, a
number of catfish were found perfectly
benumbed in the icy water, and several
bushels were scoOped up like 80 many
pieces Of wood and brought home. When

public are indispOsed to obey the orders
of the Health Officer, who appears simply
as private citizen. They are inclined
to doubt his authority. Nothing is done
but bad blood stirred up. To remedy
this, the Board of Health recommend
that the Marshal be invested with the
power and authority of Health officer
and that every member of the police
force be an adjunct or auxiliary Health
officer, 80 that, when on their beat, if they
discover any nuisance, as defined by the
city ordinance, it shall be their duty to
proceed against the party who created
it. In this way the law can be enforced

VIII Return.

DR.. W. A. France, at the urgent sOlici-

county, will return to our city on Satur-
day, January 18th, and remain two days
Saturday and Sunday, the 18th and 14th
He can be consulted at the Ogden House
1t certainly speaks well for the Doctors
standing and skill, being thus called
back to this city in so short time. We
have received reports from several of his
patients who are satisfied that they are
beUehtted by his treatment, although
they have been under his care but a
short time. 1t would be well for those
desiring to consult the Doctor to call at
his rooms in the Ogden House as soon as
he returns, as his stay is short, and it is
many times the CAGE that those who
wait until the last day are not able to
see him owing to the large number of
patients he has to attend.

Miss Nettie G. Flugan, of New Lisbon,

Mr.. George Carlisle is we'll and favor
ably known in this city, as a genial,
whOle-sOuled gentleman, and this asser-
tiOn will be borne out by the thousands
of travellers over the COnnOttOn Rail

echoes the sentiments of his hosts of
friends in wishing him and his bride
long life and happiness.

The County Board of Visitors, appoint
ed by Judge Pease according to law of
last winter, have organized by electing
W. W. Clark, Esq, President, and Mrs. H.
r. Slusser Secretary. 1t is within the
attention of the Board, as we under
stand, to make their inspections as di-
rected by law, without giving previous
notice of the time when. We deem this
very proper, and the only way in which
evils and abuses can be corrected, should
they exist. The manner in which COM
mittees of the Legislature visit our State
institutions, and grand juTies our county
jails and inhrmaries, is a farce. 1t par
takes more Of feast and frOlic than a
rigid examination.
