Homo, Gong since dead) means a
suan, and when signed to letter, ought
at least to mean something closely akin
to man, but your replying cores
pondent would suggest that instead OF
Homo, he append in the future to his
letter the more appropriate eognomen
-Asarias." A man who in full view OF
day light will through the press proclaim
sunlight to be moonlight. is certainly

about sevenIy-tive were present cut OF d
city having population Of $500.
The next silly remark is in regard
&C the trustees not owning the school
houses; does not Homo" know thai
the tru stees in this Territory do not own
The school houses? Again. Mr.
Homo excuse the tide) says there i
only accommodation for 100 scholars
outside of rented rooms, whereas We
have three fine school Buildings, with
seating capacity of at least 500, and an
other fine house is being erected thai
will seat easily 800; and these buildings
have, so far, been built bought and
paid for, and are owned by the people.

who, in another paragraph, says
the man who bitterly opposed a
tax of q of L per cent. last year, was
the first to propose it this year.

10 propose it this year, but he was not
present at the meeting last year E. A.

as one of the principal speakers in
favor of a new schOofhouse Faux

quite undecided. Our citizens thus far
hare been able to keep the city pretty
well purge6 of rings, 'Fthat have an alb
normal appetite to tap the peoples
pockets in order to satisfy their gor-
mandizing tendencies. OF course Car
rington was irrepreSsible on this occa

bearing the name ours does to be
dis6gured with one-horse school

1t is not surprising that the progenitors
of the new schoolhouse are foaming-
when It is known that two of them are
trustees and delegates in all kinds OF
building material-po wonder! When
DR.. Darlington saw through the scheme
he became irrepressible, and he with
two or three others, boldly came to the
peoples rescue, and proclaimed tae
facts as they truly existed. Mr.. Homo.
the citizens OF Brigham, to nan, are
in favor Of good schools, and the gentle
men referred TO b you are not luke
warm" but are in favor of education OF
the highest grade, and they trust that
in the near future VIII II the people are
better prepared, they will erect house
that will not only answer all our own
purposes. but attract students from the
surrounding country, and proudly per-
pstuate the noble deed, where the |
principles of truth and honor viii be
taught long after Homo" shall have
sunk to the shades of unremembereo
