Rard on ScI.ool Teachers.

Under the new school law enacted
by the last Legislature a school teach
er cannot draw his pay until the close
OF the term for which he is employed.
The law governing trustees and
teachers on that point is "The trus-
tees must furnish the teacher with a
blank report, which report said teach
er must fill up according to the head
ing OF same and transmit it to the
county superintendent Of the county
at the close of the term; and no teach.
er shall be allowed an order for his
salary until said report is made out
and transmitted by the clerk os the
board of trustees"
This law is another inscription on
the monument of folly erected by our
lawmakers. In one portion of the
section it says the teacher must make
out and transmit his report to the
county superintendent; in another be
cannot draw his pay until the report
is transmitted by the clerk.
IL this law is to be enforced it will
be a lasting outrage upon the poorly
paid, and painstaking teachers of the
state, and win force them into the
money market to borrow at II and
II per cent TO meet their board bills
and other necessary expenses. 1t is
shame, lasting shame that such a
law should have been put in our stat
utes, and the more so, because some
of the very law makers could not wait
q week without drawing their own per
diem while making the law.

E WILSON-BRANNAN CON.
TEST.
1t Takes Place This Evening at the
Opera House.

| Opera House.
The contest at the Opera House
this evening is likely to prove
hotter than was anticipated.
When Wilson publicly announced
that he would put his man to sleep
IN ten rounds for $500 aside he
WAS not in the best of conditions
and assumed that Brannan was in
the same fix. Fer a year past
Brannan has been constantly il,
condition, ready to make a match
at moments notice. He has re-
duced his weight from 1876 to los
lbs and is hard as rock Wilson
Is fifteen poULds heavier, and not
withstanding his good record as a
knocker out he is too fat to de.
mollsh Brannan as quickly as he
proposed.
He got wind Of Brannan's condi-
ton after he had made his proposed
and sent a man down to ascertain
the fact When his man returned
he reduced his bet to 500, al
though Brannan was eager to
have it $500.
Betting is now even that Bran /
nan, who is rhenominal hitter,
will stay the ten rounds. Brannanl
intends to rush the fight and do
his best to rattle his antagonist
early in the figh'.
Arrangements are made for a
Dig crowd. This is the first fight

The anthracite coal trade continues
in stagnant condition, and we are with
out any new or interesting feature to
note this week. The weekly output of
coal is still in excess of the market re-
quirement, Notwithstanding the efforts of
the producing interest to curtail it. The
supply of the small steam sizes of an
thracite is not sufficient to enable ship
pers to satisfactorily fill their contracts,
but the domestic sizesare superabundant
and hard to move. While there is con-
siderable cutting of prices reported, yet
the first-class Goals command fair figures,
though at concessions from the circular
prices, but 'spot cargoes" from the col
leries desired command better prices
than they did few weeks ago.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
March IA, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 667 300 tons,
compared with 524, 656 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
