owned here, several of the owners
being ladies. Owing to the fact that
there are SO many, it may be proper
at this time to call attention to the
rights of pedestrians, as well as those
of bicyclers. 1t has been decided by
the courts that wheelmen have the
same right in the public road as any
other drivers of vehicles. The side,
walk is intended for the use of foot
passengers, and Ma wheelman should

The Life of Major Moses Var
Camper. the great Indian fighter of
Columbia County, has been long ou
of print. The last copy of the work
which saw, an imperfect one at that
was sold for $6.oo-and for some
years now it has neither been on sale
nor in the catalogues. Lately, the
author, very old man, has been re.
vising the work, and has put the man.
uscript into the hands of John S. Mi
nard, Fillmore, New York, who had
a'so been preparing a new edition.
Their combined labors have produced
beautiful and highly interesting vol
ume OF over $50 pages, illustrated with
a portrait Of Van Campen and other
matters of local interest.
Several Columbia County families
figure in the book, to wit: The Nc
Clures, the Salmons, the Boyds, and
incidental notices of others. Here
we have the builder or defender or
both, of Fort Mcclure, Fort Wheeler,
Fort Jenking, Fort Rice, and Fort
Muncy. All but the last ia our own
immediate neighborhood. Here Capt.
Salmon and then Lieut.. Van Campen
contended for the hand of Miss
Wheeler, and the Captain beat the
Lieutenant, who afterward captured
Miss Margaret Mcclure.
People talk about Daniel Boone Of
Kentucky, about Francis Marion OF
South Carolina, but here we have,

and warrior as brave as either of them

In conclusion permit me to say
that | have made a very earnest ef
tort to improve the schools, and that
IN nearly all cases | have had the
nearly cooperation of the teachers. 1t
has been said that "As the teacher is.
SO is the school," This is only true in
part. Patrons and others may undo
or prevent the teacher from doing ef
fectlve work. AT the close of this
term, seventeen of the nineteen teach
ers employed are Normal School
graduates. One would infer from this
that the work done is of a superior
quality. 1t is very difficult to prevent
good teacher from doing good work,
and equally as difficult to lead or train
poor teacher to do good work. The
best plan, 1t seems to me, is to en-
ploy good teachers, and leave the
poor ones to find employment. l de-
sire most heartily to thank you for
your assistance and support.

A FALSE REPORT.

A few days ago a report became
current on the street that there were
fifteen cases of dlphtheria at the Nor
NAL School. 1t was utterly untrue,
there not being the slightest founda-
ton for such report, as there have
been no cases. of any kind OF conta.
gious diseases in the school. People
should be very careful not to repeat
such reports unless they are very sure
of the facts. If any contagious disease
should appear in the school the auth.
critics certainly would not attempt
to conceal it, and thus endanger the
lives of all the students and blast the
prospects of the institution. The
Trustees and the Faculty would at
once adopt every known means of
preventing the spread. There has
been no diphthteria in the school, and
the only thing that even approached
a sore throat was single case of
quinzy. The report was apparently
made out of the whole cloth, and the
school authorities would be glad to
know where it originated.
