dist Church.
New YORK, Jan. 1G The congregation Of
the Fourth Street Methodist church Of
Brooklyn, E. D., are excited and indignant.
1t is said that last Christmas day one of the
principal young lady teachers in the school
took leave of her scholars after the
Christmas festival, telling them that
she was going to Boston and
would probably remain away for long time.
The same day she exhibited to her parents,
who are prominent members of the church, a
telegram which purported to come from an
aunt in Connecticut, requesting her to come
to her bedside at once. She pleaded with
tears to be allowed to go to her dying aunt,
and finally her trunk was packed and she de
parted.
Several days passed, and the parents, not
receiving any word from their daughter,
began to grow uneasy, and the mother de-
termined to follow her, Upon arriving at

THE METHODIST REVIVAL.

For nearly five weeks the revival meet
ings at Grace NJ E. Church have attracted
large congregations. These meetings have
nearly gone through the fifth week very
successfully, and the interest manifested
by the people does not seem to be a5ating.
The Gospel Train" has been crowded
nightly, with no sign of diminishing the
numbers. The arguments in favor of :'iv-
ing Christian lives have been presented in
such a forcible and convincing manner by
the working ministers that they have
brought conviction to many. Many have
remained at the inquiry meetings, after the
dismissal Of the congregations, and num-
ber have made their decisions to become
Christians. Revs. Riggin and Van Orsdel
have been assisted, during the past week,
by Revs. Stull and Mintzer. "Come unto
me all We that labor and are heavy laden
and will give you rest" is the invitation
that is proving effective. The meetings
will be continued over Sunday. -

.prsrRyE THE SCHOOL LANDS

rh.~. are in all of the counties OF Nlo"'
+.na certain sections of land set apart ~
school purposes. These lands, or the p'o
ceeds thereof, should be for the oe"e. -.:.s ~
the school funds Of the different cou"'ss
r. the school fund of county IS "'o
and does not get what rightfully belongs !"
:, the neonle Of that county are roboeo IN
m.ss There is nothing palmer than this.
Tn Re.verhead County there are certain
lotions If lands designated as school Sec
t;,,ne and this fact has been known for
.s.rs notwithstanding this these lands
IN many instances, have been incloseo VIII"
fences, and yearly produced paying crops
of hay. without a cent of rent being Pa'o
into the school fund.- The school fund OF
a county is always hungry. There IS soe.' u
q constant drain on it that in most cases IL
is empty before the annual clean ur OF taxes
replenishes it, But the failure TO get any
rent for the school land is not the on'y
trouble. Attempts are made, and will con-
tjnue to be made, to get away with the land
These attempts, in every case' snou'o oe
frustrated. We notice in one OF our He'-
ena cotemporaries that Mr.. John Jack, OF
Rannack, has made an application at the
Helena Land Office for homestead oi
one hundred and sixty acres in section
thirty. six. Section thirty-s is one OF the
school sections in this county and is loca'
ted on Horse Prairie. 1t is fine meadow
land, producing every year heavy crop OF
hav. The one hundred and sixty acres
that Mr.. lack is attempting to homestead
at SILK per acre is worth $40 per acre at
the present time. Put this land up at auc-
ton and it will bring $40 per acre, or ~ DOC
| for the school fund of Beaverhead County
! One thousand six hundred dollars in cash
! will build substantial and commodious
country school house and furnish it with
nice. modern fashioned furniture. Just how
| Mr. Jack will get his homestead appllca'
ton through the Helena Land Office tor
this choice piece of school land remains to
be told. There are other school lands in
the county fenced in, but as yet no attempt
has been made to gobble them up by the
modus oteyandi of land office application
These lands should be preserved for school
| purposes, and not frittered away at merely
nominal figures. We notice that y. s.
Grand Jury, at Fargo, Dakota, framed d
bill to be presented to Congress, with Pc
ton for its immediate enactment, asking
for the protection and preservation of the
school lands. 1t is proposed that Boards Of
County Commissioners be empowered to
rent school land for a year or term of years
at S, per acre, and have the proceeds go in
to the school fund. This would be good
! plan. At all events the school lands should
be held until they command such figures
as will make their sale beneficial to the
pe<ple

OUR DILLON PUBLIC SCHOOL.

i: County School Superintendent Catlin, of
Deer Lodge county, was in town last Tues
day. Prof. Catlin is thorough teacher, of
long experience. During his brief stay in
town he found time to visit the Dillon Pub
lie School. After an examination of the de-
partments and a hasty hearing Of few OF
the classes he was satisfied that Dillon was
we'll supplied with school facilities, and by
his familiar mode Of examination he readi-
~ detected that the school contains many
promising pupils, and a. number of really
bright ones, and he said SO. A representa-
tive of the TRIBUNE, visiting the school at
the same time, found the management of
the different departments excellent and the
methods of teaching in accordance with
modern ideas of giving instruction. In
Prof Gannons room the advanced schol-
ars were found we'll up in their studies, and
evinced lively interest in recitation as
we'll as in an intelligent and comprehensive
explanation of the lessons under consider
alton. In Miss Carriers room the pupils of
the intermediate grade, under admirable
discipline, are progressing finely in their pre-
paratorv studies, evidencing careful train
ing and patient painstaking on the part OF
their teacher. In Miss Coffin's department
forty to fifty little ones tussle daily with the
rudi.nents Of English, commencing in the
b abs and ending in the easy simple SEN
tences OF our language. Taking the grades
together our public school will be found
to-day comparing very favorably with the
older graded schools Of the Territory. In
this connection it is opportune to say that
parents do not manifest that interest in the
advancement Of their children that they
should. If they did they would visit the
school often, and BY personal examination
make themselves acquainted with the prog
ress being made by the scholars. Visitors
encou age the scholars by their presence,
for it is evidence to pupils that their prog
sress is matter of interest Teachers toll
to bring their pupils up to standard Of per.
fection, and the presence of visiting pa
rents, who would always be welcome.
would contribute in many WAYS toward
promoting the work and imparting renew.
ed zeal Then why not visit the school?
AS prayers are the bulwarks of piety and
good conscience, SO are our public schools
the bulwarks Of liberty and good govern.
,nent. Encourage your public school and
It will bring forth good fruits.
