ESrMERATIoS OF Youru.-John
Hess. ESQ. County Superintendent
of Free Schools, furnishes us the fol-
lowing enumeration of youth in this
county. and remarks:
cannot account for the decrease
in the number of children of the legal
school age in cur county, nor for so
large an increase in some districts,
and so great 4 decrease in others
Section 10 of our school law very
plainly defines the duties of Boards
of Education and teachers in this mat
ter To have q correct enumeration
is important, as the State school fund
is distributed to the counties of the
State in proportion to the number of
youths of school age therein.

peaches, plums and pears only four
days after being p!ucked from the
orchards. The valley of the Yellow
stone has rot yet proven itself great
fruit growing country, but it is at least
satisfaction to live where the delicious
fruits grown by our Pacific neighbors
may be obtained at reasonable prices.
The panoramic views of the Ma
tional Park are just now receiving
their finishing touches, at the hands
of Baker & Baker, the scenic artists,
who are painting them for Galloway
and Truax. There are about fifty Of
the views in all, each thirteen feet
long and eight in height. They are
wound in continuous line upon frame
and in exhibiting them each passes
into large gilt frame. The views
are all s'1etched from actual scenery
within the Park, and in painting them
the natural coloring is reproduced as
FAR as possible. It is unfortunate for
the people of Livingston that the own
ers Of the panorama have decided not
to exhibit it before leaving here, but
its first production will be at Minneap-
oils in conjunction with play that is
being written in New York especi ly
for this enchanting scenery. We may
console ourselves however, with the
thought that the panorama and the
play will result in advertising the Ma
tional Park, and sending more tourists
in this direction. Upon the conclu-
sion Of their present task, Baker &
Baker swill paint for themselves an
other panorama OF Park scenery and
produce it next summer.
