A School of Higher Grade for Iron
ton.

Since our public school does not furnish
instruction beyond the ordinary branches,
| many children of school age who desire in
struction in the higher branches are eXclud
ed from the school or obliged to go elsewhere
to learn what ought to be furnished them mt
home. We have an excellent school build
ing, credit to any town of the size of ours,
with four commodious rooms, only three of
which are used at present. If the vacant
room We're finished, more pupils could be
accommodated, and probably enough more be
secured to justify the employment of anoth-
er teacher. All who desire to attend our
school w neither resident or nonresident pu-
pills, should be accommodated. If parents
are willing to send their children elsewhere
80 secure instruction in the higher branches
and pay for it, they ought to be willing to
pay the same amount at home to secure the
same instruction at home, and thus build mp
our own Institutions. Resident pupils of
school age might be required to pay extra
for instruction In higher branches. Nom
resident pupils and those over school age
should be accommodated upon condition of
paying a certain tuition fee for each month,
the amount TO be fixed by our Board of Ed
ueation. The school law cpntemplates a
higher grade of schools in towns which are
organized as ours is, under the school law
for town and village schools, than the coun-
try district schools. The public schools in
towns as large as Ironton should furnish in
struction in all the branches allowed by law
in the country schools. At present orr
school is not of as high q grade as many Of
the country schools. The Ironton school Is
behind most schools Of its size. 1t is not
properly graded and cannot be under the
past and present regime. The Board of Ed
ucation and the Principal should prepare
and adopt course of study for graded
school and should require all the teachers
to follow it in their several grades. Then
we might he able to see more definite re-
suits than we can ever expect from our pres
ent system of management.
The money expended frequently in sup
porting three or four students ut schools
away from home would pay a teacher for
thirty or more pupils at home, thus giving
the advantage of having children at home
and helping other children well. Why
should not our, citizens make some effort TO
raise the grade of our school and keep their
children in orr school instead of sending
them elsewhere9

On tuesday morning, about three O'Clock,
VIM. Burgoyne, fireman on train GI3, was
Killed at Pilot Knob. When the train, which
Is made up of empty ore cars, comes to the
Knob, the engine is detached beyond the de-
pot, runs ahead and goes on side track, let
ting the cars run by toward the dump switch.
The grade there is very heavy, and the cars
by their own impetus run well up the dump
switch, past the side track, when the engine
runs out and pushes them to the dump. In
this instance they failed to reach the dump
at the first trial, and the train was backed for
n fresh start. 1t broke in two, unobserved
by the engineer, and when the bottom of the
grade was reached by the engine and rear
part Of the train, the detached cars We're fol-
lowing, slowly at first, but gaining imnetus
at every foot. The engineer, when the train
stopped, ordered the fireman to see that the
sand-pipcs We're all right, for the drivers
slipped on the rails. While the fireman was
engaged in this duty in front of the engine,
the detached cars struck the train with great
force, throwing the fat next the engine up
on to the pilot. The fireman was struck by
the car and almost instantaneously killed.

four grandchildren, and thirteen great
grand children. She had been Il member of
the Lutheran church since her childhood,
having united herself with that denomina-

the minds of all who knew her. She was
buried in the cemetery east of Ironton, with
the rites of the Lutheran Church. Peace to
her ashes!

Reform In PENNSYLVANIA.

very clever illustration OF Demo-
cratic reform is now on exhibition in
Pennsylvania, where an extra session
of the legislature, called by Geo. Pat
terson to apportion the state while the
great party of reform held the reins,
has been in session three months and
wasted already two hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars of the peo-
pies money. The legislature, at its
last session, should have apportioned
the state, but failed to do so, and hav-
ing no other business adjourned.
GoyernCr Patterson, who managed to
slip in the capital gates while the Re-
publican factions were indulging in a
row among themselves outside, saw the
golden opportunity of Democracy was
swiftly slipping away, it was case of
now or never, and against the advice of
some of the leading members of his
party he called an extra session, with
the intention of showing an apportion-
ment bill through whether it suited his
opponents or not. 1t now appears the
Governor was trife hasty in his cal
culations. After ninety days session
he is still as far from the goal of his
ambition. owing to the contumaceous-
ness of Republican members of the leg
islature, who decline to crafty his ac-
cidency's within by yielding to his plans
rs ever. 1t is now announced that Gov.
Patterson has decided to hang on to his
bone, but unless all signs fail it is not
likely to contain any more consolation
in the future than in the past.

Necessity far Eoo.l Rourties.


The loss to farmers who raise poul-
try, in turkeys, geese, ducks, chickens,
amounts to thousands Of dollars aunu-
ally, after any period of neglect, in
which the foxes have had time to null
tiply, in almost any agricultural town:
1t is so severely felt. and the
yisitatIons to the poultry yards are
so evenly distributed, that yirtuous in
dignation siezes all the freeholders. and
at the first town meeting bounty is al
most unanimously voted on every fox
head presented in the town treasnrer's
Office. The foxes, Of course, must be
killed within the town. The thrifty
farmers of Shadwell have no notion of
paying for foxes caught in Bungtown,
although the Bungtown foxes have no
respect for town boundaries, and invade
Shadwell every night. Under the five
dollar bounty, foxes are hunted and be-
gin TO grow scarce. The old hunters,
fond of the sport, invest in fox-hounds,
and when the light SHOWS of early win
ter come, there is general muster of
all the hunters, and the music of hounds
is heard over all the hills and valleys.
The holes of foxes are invaded every
spring, and sometimes lucky hunter
digs from single hole a half-dozen
young ones, and draws from the treas
ury thirty dollars, as the reward of
mornings work. This is making
money quite too fast in a rural commus
nifty, and spasm of economy seizes
the freeholders, and at the next town
meeting the bounty is put down to a
dollar. or Withdrawn altogether. In
two or three years the foxes are as nu-
merous as ever. and many farmers give
up raising turkeys, because of the inse-
! curity OF the crop. What is wanted in
all our Northern States is State bounty
upon foxes of ten dollars or more, pay
able at each town treasury in which the
foxes are caught This bounty from
the State should Ike kept on persistently,
until the foxes are as scarce as bears or
wolves. This would make poultry
raising comparatively secure, and
greatly enlarges the profits of every
farming region. The interests to be
protected are immense, and are as great
in the longest settled parts of the East
ern States as in newer sections. -An1er-

Born Pacers.

Mr. George Brownell writes from Liv-
erpool to the st. James Gazette: I'm
the various remarks which have lately
appeared in your paper on Pacing
Horses" have not noticed any allu-
sion to those of Peru, where that type
of hack has been brought to a perfec-
ton probably unknown elsewhere.
Doubtless this has originated from the
climate, the nature of the country, and
the extensive sandy deserts in which
trotting or galloping horse, sinking fet-
lock deep, would soon exhaust himself;
but apart from practical uses, the gait
has there attained the position of posi-
tive art, and it requires very practiced
rider in that style of riding to do justice
to true 'caballo de paso.' There are
at least ten varieties of the spaso,' or
pace, known to the initiated-the .paso
andante. the 'paso compagnero,' etc.
The great majority of the native horses
are PAGERS; but a really first-rate one
becomes an article of luxury, and may
command an extravagant price. On
some of the estates great care was de.
voted to the breeding of these horses,
many of which were of extreme beauty,
and their training and biting was
process to which the g reatest patience
and plenty of time was given. notice
the gait styled artificial In Peru it is
not so. A true PAGER is born so-he
PAGES naturally; though this may be va
ried or perfected by education. Trot
he will not. If he can be driven into a
gallop it is at once seen that it is unnat-
ural to him. But, then, his pace is so
superior TO that of the animal which has
only been taught to pace that there is
no comparison whatever, and it is a lit
tie surprising that so few have been inn
ported into this country, though this
may be due to his true merit being that
of Journey horse. for which purpose
he would, of course, be of little use here
For coaches and for their cavalry the
Peruvians have relied mainly upon hor-
ses imported from Peru"
