NORMAL NOTES

The enrolment at the Normal ON
Wednesday evening was 134. We
look for ten more next week. Every
one is working to the extent of their
ability, and with the expectation Of
doing more systematic work in the
school room next year than heretofore.
If the District Boards over the county
could be present and see and hear,
there would be little or 10 conflicting
ideas between the patrons, the Board
and the teachers in regard to manage
ment of schools. We believe it is gen.
orally conceded everywhere in regard
to teachers that The workman is wor-
thy of his hire. In regard to instruct
ors and superintendent, we do not wish
to discriminate, and as we could say
nothing but the most commendable
words, of course they would think it
was 'taffy." They can surely see that
their work in our behalf is highly APP
preciated. The enthusiasm and deter
mination engendered will bear good
fruit and we'll all rejoice together next
year. PEDAGOGUE.

In last weeks REGISTER you say,
"If Mr.. REGISTER or Mr.. Facts or
any other Mister can tell us how the
NJ. X. & T. r. r, Co. could lawfully
get their patent to these lands we
would like to know it." Very well,
Mr.. NM" if you refer to lands like
those of Mr.. Martin-even section in
demnity Iands-I will tell you.
The statutory reservation, upon
which you rely as Withdrawing such
lands from the operation of the grant
that to company, has no existence and
never did have any existence save in
your imagination. To speak with all
possible plainness, when you say sec
ton >. of the act of '63 reserved these
lands for homestead and presumption
YOUR statement is utterly untrue. and
YOU don't know what you are talking
about, if you refer to even section in
demnity lands. That section no more
refers to such lands than it does to the
man in the moon. 1t, by its very
terms, is expressly confined to lands
,cithin ten miles Of the road.
The reservation upon which you re-
ly had no existence, and there being
no such provision as that to which
you refer there was nothing to prevent
the government from granting these
lands To the NJ. K. & T. r. II. and it
did so. And unless you can point out
some statute which did reserve these
lands, which you have not yet done,
that company got a perfect title.
