MILTON.

Yesterday was the 22d day of February
the day that gave birth TO the father Of
his counry-it being Sunday today is
supposed to be kept in lieu thereof
walk through the town, but no signs of
patriotic demonstration greet mine eyes ;
what business we have is IN progress, aud
but few APPEAR TO know what day It is.
20 10 my home and look out from my
window, and from pole in front Of Hart's
Hotel I see proudly waving TO the fair
[ breezes Of heaven, the stars and stripes,
! glorious insignia of American institu-
tions; proud precursor of Americas fu-
ture; the talisnian that has been bravely
upheld from Lexington to Appomattox.
and that has waved in splendor over the
/ "dalls Of the dontezumas. "Only this
and nothing more, in communication
I of a national holiday. Surely our patriot
/ ism is in its decadence Thirty years ago
the stirring notes Of yankee Doodle"
would draw tears from the eyes Of an 'old
mule" to-day Hail Columbia" "Star
Spangled Banner" or any of our patri-
otic airs, will scarcely raise a smile on
the face Of "grand army man."
The public schools of North Milton
closed OH Monday on account of disa
greement between the principal and COM !
mittee. The school committee are alpha
and omega of North Milton-they have
violated the law, first i'll not commencing
their school until two week after he time /
appointed by law Secondly, in not using /
tie school books; and thirdly,in stopping /
their school before the expiration Of Eve 4
months tuition To elucidate the obiec- /
ton as TO Mr.. Jones, II. c., whom the
committee employed at a salary of $50
per month, and whom the committee have
been desirous to discharge for some time,
because Mr. Jones does not agree with The
said committee in school government
As we understand it, and as far as our
knowledge Of Mr.. Jones goes, lie is a
model teacher. The fault Of the Milton
North Public Schools is: They have been /
ruined by being under poor disciplinar-
ilus and they--the communitv-kuowl
it. But when they get man like II. c.
Jones, who knows how to discipline a
school and make the pupils toe the
mark, they squeal and discharge the !
-rachers because ostensibly measles
and scarlatina is prevailing Now I
II regard to this peculiar disease that is
prevailing IN North Milton; It is not the
measles, neither is 1t scarlatina-this on
he assumption OF our physicians-but an
.ruptiVe disease which is not dangerous.
