COMMUNICATED.

Nessrs. Editors noticed commune
cation in your last issue to which wish
to reply, not to insult nor abuse the
writer. If Mr.. Quirk wishes to learn
how to keep the public school property
in good condition he must look to other
the trustees and Honest Jshn. Friend
Quirk, you certainly cannot expect the
school officers TO stand around the school
property and watch for the perpetrators
of such damages as you have noticed.
And more, if they did they could not pre-
vent such outrages upon the property.
l think Honest John does his daty faith
fully. He, understand, al ways eajo!ns
both trustees and teachers to be very
careful of the school-houses and grounds.
/ suppose you ale 4 patron OF our
schools, and would love, no doubt, to see
them prosper. Now let me lead you into
q secret. The care OF any school property
is left wholly with the patrons OF that
district. Has the teacher nothing to do
in caring for the property: Yes, but he
will co but little unless he has the hearty
cooperation of the parents of the children
under his charge.
Youth, like white paper, will take any
impression. Therefore, my friend, you
must begin your reformation among the
children. This you can do by showing
them the folly and unmanliness in such
conduct. Reach their hearts through
their parents and teachers. Talk to your
own children first. Then go to your
neighbor. Put the subject before him.
Impress him with its Importance. Then
to your teacher. Tell him the interest
you feel in his school and that you wish
to help build up his school and to improve
the looks of the school-house. This you
can do by giving some little ornaments.
A picture, flower or 4 motto. This is
the duty of every parent. Visit the
school. Give the teacher to know that
YOU are rs much interested in the educa-
cation Of your children as he is. This is
The way and the only way in which you
can suppress this destroying Of property.
As soon as patron and teacher begin to
show an interest in the care of the prop.
erty that soon will every child in school
unite with them in the work.

Seed GOrn.-From every direction we
hear complaints about the bad condition
of corn, and it is feared that there will be
great difficulty in procuring seed. With
few exceptions the corn was very green
when gathered last year, and 1t has been
kept damp by the unfavorable weather
which has prevailed pretty much ever
since. and consequently frozen to a great
extent. Farmers should take great care
in selecting corn for seed, and thoroughly
test that which they do select. The same
difficulty has prevailed for couple of
years past, and in all parts of the country
the same trouble exists in 4 greater or
less degree.

Gently stated that it was utterly impossi-

way of decent mail facilities, as he only

against this injustice until this ncightor-

Deer.-A very largo deer was seen oy
