The village and country schools
of our valley have begun a new

that school opinion is the sentiment
of the school. 1t may be high, or
it may be low. If low, bad boys
are very likely to have their own
way, for they are encouraged by
their comrades. So, it is the
duty of the teacher to see that the
sentiment of the school is healthful,
for he may use it then to discourage
many faults and errors that creep
into school.

THE SANE HERE.-The following
from the Fairmont Inder will apply
to good many of the young people
of onr town, and we hope they will
read the article and see the folly OF
their every day life:
"The young man or young wo-
man who imagines that the busy
men of affairs do not know of their
habits and their associates is mis-
taken. Within the past few months,
being called upon by business men
to suggest persons who could fill
positions in their business, we nat
urally suggested a good many diff
ferent names, and in the order in
which they occurred to us. In al
most every instance we found the
business man knew something of
the person suggested. This one
"loafed too much;" that one he had
seen about the "billiard half or
Char rOom;" this young woman he
had seen in "doubtful company"
that one didn't conduct herself
properly con the street," this one
was "too giddy," and so it was with
large majority. The young man
or young woman in a town like
ours, who wants a place in business,
should not forget that the live bust
ness men are watching the crowd as
it passes by, and know something
of the habits of about every young
person who would seek work under
them"

In the name of common decency,
is there no way to stop the abuses
which are daily practiced at our
passenger depots? Not a train ar
rives or departs that the reception
rooms, platform and yard are not
crowded with lazy idlers, who
lounge around, uttering all kinds of
profane and obscene language. 1t
has gotten so bad, that it is scarcely
prudent for lady to go about the
depots at all The very worst char
actcrs of both sexes and colors stand
around the doors, or in the recep-
lion rooms, gazing impudently at
ladies who have to go there to take
the train, or meet friends. And
when the trains arrive, often pas
sengers have to wait until the curl
osity of these loungers are gratifed
by stalking through the trains, be-
fore they can get egress or ingress.
This is fearful evil which decency
cries aloud for abatement. Can
nothing be done? 1t is a shame and
disgrace to the town.

SAFE CRAcKERs.-Burglars emit

knob of the large safe, and then by
means of a punch throw the COM
bination bolts and opened the safe
door, where they found $3.50 in
money and about $500 in county
orders. The orders will be of no
use to them. The same parties
went to the X. & NJ. depot where
they opened the Office safe in the
same manner, and got 80 cents for
their trouble. From there they
went to the Ohio River Railroad
yard, where they boarded an en-
CINE and had started it up when
the Waterman discovered them and
jumped on the engine, and the rob-
bers becoming alarmed jumped off.
So far no clue has been discovered

that they are professionals, there is
no doubt. Some of the papers be-
longing to Nease & Co. have been
found, but the iron box containing
the county orders, is still missing.
