SCHOOL PIANO AGAIN.-A little en-
enlargement from the citizens of Lam
caster just now will insure piano for
our School. A little opposition at this
time will probably be able to defeat the
project for ten years to come. With
what is already secured, a subscription
or appropriation of about $3.50 would
be sufficient to obtain this most desir-
able addition to the facilities and at
fractions of the School. Some imagine
that that amount would add grievous
burden upon the people. Such sup
position is not the result of computation
or reflection. The truth is that for every
800 of taxable property only the paltry
sum of three cents and one mill would be
necessary. Is that sufficient to deprive
the School of its long needed instru-
mentp

TEMPERANCE IN THE SCHOOLS. -
Laws requiring scientific temperance
instruction in the schools have been
passed recently in Alabama, Pennsyl-
vania, Missouri and Wisconsin. From
the Prohibitionist we obtain the text OF
the last, as follows:
Sec. /. Provision shall be made by
the proper local authorities for instruct
ing all pupils in all schools supported
by public money, or under state control,
in physiology and hygiene with special
reference to the effect of stimulants and
narcotics upon the human system.
SEC. 2. The text books used in Civ
ing the foregoing instruction shall re-
ceive the joint approval of the state SUI
perintendent of public instruction and
the state board of health.
SEC. 3. No certificate shall be granted
to any person to teach in public schools
of Wisconsin, after the first day of JAN
uary, 1886, who has not passed salts
factory examination in physiology aud
hygiene with special reference to the
the human system.
ORNAMENTING SCHOOL GROUNDS. 1T
is pleasant to read the warm words
spoken by good and influential men in
favor of planting school grounds not
only for adornment and shelter, but for
all the reasons for which pictures are
put into school-books to teach facts
and to impress them by actual seeing,
so that the lessons cannot be forgotten.
No pictures can be quite so true or so
fully detailed as the living objects which
are each volume in themselves, turn
ing new views to the observer continu-
ally. There is an increasing advocacy
of this excellent sort OF school equip
ment; and we must hope that there is
increasing practice of it, especially
since several leading firms have pub
lished their readiness to supply seeds
and plants for schoolyard planting at
almost no cost, certain conditions to Sc
cure them being observed. One speak
er on this subject lately said that the
children must be depended upon for the
ornamentation of the country. 1t is
time then to begin their lessons. An
other says that sanitary improvement,
especially as regards cesspools, sewers,
ETC., should have its first patterns on the
school grounds, whence it would spread
though towns and homes. Every school
board, wherever it is possible, should on
that account include at least one ca
pable, energetic, and philosophical ply
stefan. The children should, BIZ all
means, have share in the planting,
naming and registry of the trees, as well
as in the care of them.--N Y. Tribune.

COMMERCIAL.


The markets during the past week
have ruled rather dull and featureless.
England and Russia are in a state of
waiting, and it is very hard to tell at
present what will be the final out come
Both sides cry out peace, and at the
same time go on with warlike prepare
tons. If the war spirit should blaze up
again, there is no doubt but what it
would advance our price as it already
has done. Very bad winter wheat
crop reports still continue, and with the
very backward spring we are having,
has tendency to drive prices up also.
Taking 100 as the standard on winter
wheat, it is estimated to-day to be
from 60 to IS, which is rather a poor
showing as we already had a reduction OF
20G in acreage last fall. Our latest reports
say that ploughing for Spring wheat
has also been reduced fully So on ac-
count of the late spring, and any prac-
teal man knows that it is now too late
to sow any spring wheat. Flowing for
corn has not yet commenced, and if the
weather should be favorable there is
every indication of large crop being
planted. Oats have shown considerable
strength, the receipts at Eastern points
being light and demand good. There
is not much doing on the Lancaster
market, the roads being very rough,
and farmers busy seeding.

UNCLE TOW 5 CABIN The name of the
snide shows that masquerade under the

the troupe that played here last Mon
day night is one of the worst of its class.
They advertise as "Abbey's Mammoth
Double Combination Uncle Toms Cab
in Company; Brass Band, and Royal
Bell Ringers" etct Topsys,2 Marks.
There was nothing mammoth about the
company except the cheek they exhi-
bit in imposing upon the public with
such a show. We heard no bells, and
saw but one Topsy, but as that was one
too many we could excuse the other.
1t is a strange thing that any sort of a
show under this name. will catch the
good people who would not attend the
most moral and refined dramatic enter
tainment under any other, and then the

A SAD CAsE.-Peter Jungles. deaf
and dumb lad, aged II, was brought
here Monday by his father and Mr.. Ar
thur Doyle, chairman OF the town of
Smelser, and an application made to
Judge McGonigal for a judicial inquiry
rs to his mental condition. He was a
healthy child up to four years of age,
when severe case of cerebro-spinal
menengitis left him deaf mute and
subject to epileptic fits. After an ex-
animation into his case Drs. Barber and
Hassell decided that he was not luna
tic, but an epileptie, and dangerous.
This state, however, makes no provision
for such cases; so until bis disease shall
have totally destroyed his reason there
is no place where he can be cared for
To provide an asylum for persons of
this class is matter that deserves the
attention of the legislature.

increases the production of corn and
clover % per cent. over other CONNER
cial fertilizers Plaster is found most
economical, and with the least expense
produces the heaviest crops of grass

years shows that an application of one
bushel per acre will increase the pro-
duction four-fold. Tobacco in Connect
