Coronal Institute.

The commencement exercises al this IN
stitution have been the great matter OF
itsrest this week. The primary classes were
on amined last week. Tho examination OF
the more advanced classes began on Mon
day, aud on Monday night was m exhibition
In elocution and music. twas fine success.
We doubt II another academy In the State
could exhibit such uniform excellence on
the part Of 20 many young elocnuonists-
This result may DO attributed in great part
TO tho training given them by tho younger
Prof. Pritehett, who is SO well qualified to
give instruction In that line, The death OF
his child the next day caused suspension OF
tho college exercises till yesterday morning,
aud seriously deranged the programme.
Tho graduating exercises were had ON
yesterday morning. We regretted very
sincerely our inability to DO present on the
occasion as also during the most Of the 9TH
or exercises. We believe We but voice the
general opinion when We say that
the Institute was never on more
solid and satisfactory basis than at present.
The management possess the confidence aud
will have the support OF our people, and
steadily growing reputation and patronage
from abroad.
P.s. The following is the list Of gradu-
ates:
Misses Annie Dial, Mary Combs, sallie

as the day. We shall probably soon be

The Boerne Register, referring to the nc
ton of Sheriff Barber with respect to the
publication of the tax list, justly says:
When the County Court has designated a
particular journal as the official journal, it
should have the publication of oil official
county business, and an officer who turns
such business to other papers is guilty of a
violation of the spirit of the law, and as
such is unworthy to be entrusted with the
responsibility of public affairs.
The FREE PRESS, besides having the
largest circulation, has always been recog-
nized as the official journal of the county.

MANCHACA, oulio ., Aoot'
EDITOR FREE PRESS 81 see in your valu-
able paper, No. 26, question signed sub
scriber eff man has the tax receipts
showing that he has paid the taxes on his
land, and it is found out at the county seat
that one of the initials of the patentee is
wrong, was the sheriff right to sell as though
there had been no taxes paid If sold. what
is to be done with the double tax collected by
the sheriff ?"
As am interested in my county believe
that am able to answer the above question.
First, the sheriff has the right to sell such
land, for it is the sheriff's duty to collect all
taxes on lists furnished by the comptroller,
and he has no right to change the same.
Second, the county gets her pro rata and
the state hers of the double tax money.
And will soy further that such cases. if
known, should come under the list of errors
which ought TO be rectifed by the Commits
sioners' court, and the money refunded to
the aggrieved party.
I admire the the articles Of the Editor on
local option. PETER SoHMITT.

The commencement exercises OF the

We acknowledge polite invitation to be
present, and should take great pleasure In
being there At any rate we hope to have
the FREE PRESS represented on the occasion.
FROM their conduct with reference to the
editor of this paper, one might suppose that
the opponents of local option considered us
the head and front of the movement, where
as we were only one of its earnest advocates.
1t is true that in the course of an editorial
some months since we expressed wish that
the question might again come up. and it
was perhaps in consequence that Rev. MIR.
Joyce got out and circulated petition for
another vote on the subject. But aside
from that, we only worked for it through
our paper; and when we undertake to do
ANYTHING we believe to be important, we do
it with all our might. But it ought to be
obvious to all that we have no more interest
in the subject than any other citizen, and
not as much as many others.

Grubs III Sheep.

Michigan Farmer.
Sneezing in sheep may be caused from
an attack OF catarrh, but ut this season OF
the year the presence Of the larvN Of the
sheep bot may be indicated. The parent
fly usually commences its work III the
month Of July, at which timea little pine
tar smcarcd on the nose, and repeatedly
renewed until tho middle Of September, Is
the best preventive known, Applied after
the V has been deposited, 1t will not
prevent the development Of the grub.
This tiny creature, while making its way
up the nostrils causes slight irritation Of
the mucus membrane; arriving ut its win.
ter quarters in the frontal siuuses tho irri.
tation is temporarily increased, and snccz.
ing is the effect, but the grub is rarely cx-
PEELED, as the arrangement of the sinuses
with their several compartments, Is n
successful protection against their dis
Judgement. The following spring they
are fully developed and ready TO start on
their Journey OF transformation. In an
swer to the question, as it common for
sheep to throw the grub from tho nose ut
this season OF the Year," Answer: The
grub may be expelled from the nostrils ut
this time by very violent sneezing, but Us
it is very small it escapes notice. In the
spring when they arc leaving their winter
abode, then expulsions may readily be dc.
tected. The frontal sinuses in sheep are
the natural habitation for the larvae OF the
sheep bot; and the stomach OF the horse
is the natural habitation OF the horse bot.
Each is guided by instinct in finding the
'ainter home, and by the same mysterious
power TO leave it in the spring.
