That part of the report Of the State
Supt. of Education, touching on this
town, may be of interest to those who
are interested in educational matters.
The report is for the school year of
1856. The number of school dis
trlcts in town is ten. The aggregate
toral attendance of scholars between
the ages of ) and 30 years was 220G2.
The number of different scholars at
tending the common schools was 2j2.
The number of scholars attending pri-
vatc schools out of town was Is. The
number of different teachers employed
for the school year was 10. OF this
number seven had attended a State
Normal School. The number of good
school houses in town was four. The
entire income for school purposes was
S1G73 30; amount paid for teachers,
including board, was 1888 As. Whole
amount expended for the schools was
S1479 20. In the State at large not
more than 80 per cent. of the children
are enrolled it is still worse to find
that only GO to Gj per cent. of those
enrolled are constantly in school.
This last looks as if there was some
thing lacking in our school system.

An effort is to be made to obtain a par
don for Henry DuBoise, a colored man
who is serving a life sentence in the peni-
Tertiary. DuBoise was convicted of muir
der in the second degree some eleven
years ago, he having killed Green Hen
derson, another colored man, in a quar-
rel. The quarrel originated at the saloon
kept by Jerry Graham. Henderson had
a big iron poker and DuBoise a small
Jack knife with which he finally, and as it
would seem, in self defense, stabbed Hen
derson, the blade entering Henderson,
neck, severing the juglar vein. Although
thus injured, Henderson pursued Du-
Boise until in front of MeGregor's store,
where he fell on the sidewalk and died.
A petition asking for his pardon is to be
circulated.
