At a meeting of the school board he'd last
Thursday evening, the corps of teachers was
filled by the promotion of Miss Waring TO
the position of second assistant in the high
school-a merited promotion-and the en-
gagement of Miss Emma Kimes of Ypsilanti,
sister os Mrs. Elder Russell, to fill the DO
sition vacated by Miss Waring. Miss Kimes
is an experienced teacher and is graduate
of the Normal Her standing, as shown by
her certificate, is very high, and the reputa-
ton of our school is not likely to deteriorate
by reason of her connection with it.
Mr.. Thomas Adriance met with an acci-
dent on Friday last that came near costing
him his life. As he was driving a span of
colts to town they took fright and started to
run; the wagon-pole dropped down from the
neck-yoke, overturned the wagon and threw
the old gentleman out upon the ground.
He struck on his head and shoulders, njur-
ing him severely, although no bones were
broken. 1t was thought, for time, that he
would not recover, but, at the present writing
he is improving and his physicians hope to
bring him around all right. 1t was a very
close call.
We clip the following from the Hartford
Day Spring: "Scooped, banged and kicked
all over the grounds, our base ball club gave
up the game last Friday to the Paw Paw
club. The score stood ~ to 2, and to think
that Paw Paw did it. If Keller Covert, Grand
junction or Barefoot had thrown goose eggs at
our boys in such an ignominious manner it
would not have been so humiliating. but
Paw Paw, an old fogy town that can't play
good game of pins-'tis shameful" Shame
full! So it is; scooped and beaten by a score
of II to 2-thusly: II for Paw Paw, and
0-0-O-0-0-0-0-02fo for Hartford. Correct The
Day Spring seems to think it would not
have been so humiliating TO be beaten by
Grand Junction or Barefoot: perhaps not
but our boys knocked tho socks off of them.
As for Paw Paw boys not being able TO play
a good game of pins" that is all right, they
don't play baby games nor meddle with
pointed tools; blunter instruments, such as
good willow bats, are dandy articles when
welded by experts, like our boys. We are
sorry for the Day Spring and its favorites
but it can't be helped now. Perhaps there
was not Hartford boy who felt worse than
some of our boys; there was our sober, in
dustrious modest old "Dad" captain of the
"to be champions" who fairly shed tears
(crocodile) over the Hartfords defeat. Don't
take on so boys, shake hands over the bloody
hard, and see if you can't go one better, get
three scores. Bring the Day Springs mas
cot with you; our boys will put it in a box
stall, and feed it hay and grain or any thing
else it is used to eating, or that will agree
with ito digestion. BY all means, bring the
mascot.

John Sherman, VIGOROUSLY in
sincere and oily as a politician,
is nevertheless a financial sage.

Of silver and pay for it in certifl-
Gates of deposit which shall be lie.
gal tender. Any person may de-
post silver bullion or gold and sill
yer coin in sums of $40 and receive
certificate. This makes all the
silver and gold, whether coined or
bullion, stand for money and thus
increases the circulation. The sill
yer that is being coined now does
noto into circulation. Only about
$50,000,000 are out, but nearly
$lO0,O0O,O00 are out in the form OF
certificates. The Sherman bill gets
the full value of all the silver de-
posted in circulation at once with.
out the expense Of coming. We
don't see why the United States
should cling so tenaciously to silver
when to continue its coinage is
probably damaging. The Sherman
bill comes from a gold man, and
hence if the reader is not of that
financial faith he must reject the
Sherman project. If this deluge OF
silver didn't produce the hard
times, it at least didn't prevent it.
We confess to an inclination to a
gold basis, and in that view we are
inclined to think kindly of the bill.
The papers generally abuse the bill.
Senator Sherman will probably show
it's strong points when he comes
to explain it.

Gam CONGRESS Hello the OountrY2

Congressman are generally in
easy circumstances. Their salary
furnishes easy living and they are
in an atmosphere of plenty. They
do not, therefore, feel the effects of
stringent times. The extreme low
ebb in commercial and business af-
fairs cannot be traced to lack of
anything. People who produce any
thing have plenty but no market
for any surplus they may have.
Producers of all manner OF things
have had no particular mishap or
shortage in production. The fault
lies in inertia-commercial mac
tIvity-lack of confidence. If our
con q essmen could have a little ex-
perience and know how the country
is paralyzed with inactivity, they
could do something to start money
going faster or something to inject
stronger confidence into trade.
Congress is frittering away time on
ordinary affairs, members living
easy and totally oblivious Of the
whitening simeon of inactivity that
pervades the country.
The American people have q
right to demand of their representa-
tiVes measures of relief. If con-
gress has not wisdom and power to
reverse the current of stagnatiOn,
let the members resign and give
place to men who can help the
country.
