The New School House.

The new School Building was
occupied last Monday, and it is
needless to say that the children
and parents as well are delighted
with the elegance and comforts and
convenience offered teachers and
pupils The building is admirably
constructed. 1t is fire proof and all
the rooms are easy of access and Of
exit. The building is heated by hot
air furnaces, the halls have an eqit-
able tempature and the heat in the
rooms is controlled by regulatrs.
The light and ventilation make
bright eyes and rosy cheeks, for
the apt and happy children-We
have just reason to be proud of our
new School house, not only in arch
itecture, beauty, design and finish
| but also its furnishing.
We should like to see the wide
light and airy halls, and class
rooms, as we'll, decorated with
pictures; Faces of the great and
good; pictures of events in our his
tory, the dumping of tea in Boston
Harbor, Charter Oak, Independ-
ence Bell, the Minute Men firing
from behind fences at the Red
Coats on the road to Lexington,
the struggle on Bunker Hill,
Washington crossing the Delaware.
These and kindred subjects would
in hall and wall decoration be OBJ
ject lessons delightful to study.
Can we not from private contribu-
ton make start in this direction.
The value of pictures in im-
pressing on the mind the charac
ter of men and of events in history
is too manifest to discuss. The
most indelible recollections we
have of what we have read are
from the pictures illustrating the
subject. The Sentinel will, with the
approval of School Board and Sup
erentendent, contribut handsome
steel engraving to the best behaved
class.

The New Year.

The year just closed has been
one of marked prosperity. The
opening of the New gives promise
of like period of happiness and
pentitude to our own people. The
Sentinel has special reason to be
thankful for the past and hopeful
for the future. Our sub scription
list has been constantly increasing
and our business patronage, as
evidenced by Our advertising, ex.
cites the envy of every Country
paper in the State. With the
promise to make the Sentinel the
next year better, as far as we can,
and in full hope and confdance OF
the liberal support of the public,
we renew our work. With pleas
ent memories we turn down the
last page of 1891 regretful to be
sure, the speeding of the parting,
but hail and welcome TO the com
ing New Year.

The Legislature.

The Legislature met on last
Monday. Lampson, the caucus
nominee of the Republicans was
elected pres. pro tenn of the Senate.
Laylan, Republican nominee, was
elected speaker, Mr.. Price of
Hooking receiving the vote of the
Democratic members. Andrew
Jackson was elected Sergent at
Arms of the House. If his poll
tics conformed to his name, the
election would have been more
gratifying to the followers of his
patronymic saint Gov. CampbelPs
message was short, saying he had
nothing to suggest, his former
message covering all matters in his
judgement requiring legislative
consideration, The first bill intro
duced in the Senate is from Sena-
tor Carpenter of Meigs for redis-
tricting the State. The bill is one
of Gen. Gaosvenor's contrivance.

The Senatorial Contest.

The Senatorial contest between
Sherman and Foraker, has been
the most disgraceful strife for po-
litical place that has ever tarnished
the fair name and fame Of Ohio.
The contending factions waged un-
relenting and unmanly war against
each other, charges of corruption,
deceit, lying, knayery were hurled
back and forth at each other to a
degree that was disgusting. Fora
ker had the fighting element on his
side. Sherman the money and
Grand Fathers Hat.
We will hear no more of the
Payne and Brice elections, Re
publican capital stock for years.
The Sherman Foraker contest
is a haunting ghost that will not
down in this generation.

The Senator from Morgan has the
Floor.

A few days before the election
the Republican managers OF
this Senatorial district were start
tied to find that not less than seven
hundred Republicans in this and
Athens County intended to vote
for Mr.. Lowry. Mr.. Lowry was
contidant of his election. Sherman
had contributed abundant s'sin-
e,ys of war" for Abbott's success,
but money did not prevail with the
honorable republicans of the
Counties named. Sherman was
not their choice, and Abbott was
suspected, although his nominal
ton was secured by Foraker's
friends. Foraker believed Abbot
his friend, and knew the district
vas for him. Hearing of the situ-
alton, he telegraphed the Com
n;ttecs, sent agents, who travelled
day and night for three days pre-
ecediag the election, pleading for
Abbott's election and pledging his
support for Foraker. The old time
Indifferent and revolving Republi-
cans came into line and voted for
Abbott and elected as they thought
a Foraker man. Abbott voted for
Sherman! The Senator, ''his
name is Dennis" so Bob Kittsmill- l.
er says, has the floor, and his re-
marks are in order.

Senator will be elected on Tuesday.

Beautiful Bingham.

Bingham IS about twenty miles
northwest Of SkuWhegan. The village is
situated on beautiful plain surrounded
by high hills, the most prominent of
which are Flagstaff lljll, Old Bluff. and
Fletcher Mountain. Flagstaff Hill seems
to have derived its name from the fact
that Gen. Arnold, in that noted expedition
up the kennebec Valley for the capture
OF Quebec, sscended this hill and planted
here the first American flag that ever
waved in this valley. The people of
Bingham commemorate that event by
maintaining tagstsH on the Identical
spot where Arnod's lag then waved.
From the top of this hill there is beaut-
full view down the river. The clean little
village of Bingham seems nestled at your
very feet. The river seems like mirror
Of FURNISHED silver as it winds its way
through the intervales ana around the
hills so abundant in this region. Moxie
Mountain rears its lofty summit above the
surrounding hills at the distance Of six
teen miles away, while hill after hill of
lesser elevation lies around US in every
direction. The whole region is full of
beautiful aud interesting points, and fine
drives may be had in any direction.-ln-
