There was an ancient philosopher
who announced the singular Motor
that Nature was sort of equiibrist
She delighted in balancing things in
evening w. Her operations were con.
Quoted on the scheme of the algebraic
equation. Contrasts were her partic.
ular pleasure: through their agency
the evening-up process was carried on.
When she produced giant she placed
a dwarf on the other side Of the eoua-
ton. A toad in the dungeon balanced
toad in the sunlight; Hamlet in one
scale and a Caliban in the other: a
birth for death; tears for laughter,
and a cradle for grave
Sometimes an incident makes this
fanciful theory of the philosopher seem
not far from the truth. The other day
poor fellow in Williamsburg. n Y,
committed suicide because he was in
want. On the same day and at the
same hour man killed himself at
Buffalo because he had 100000 to

An Important Decision Blu the !
board of Supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors on Tues
| day rendered an important decision in
the case of John T. Semmes VS. the
4 Hickory Grove Township Trustees.
Last April the patrons Of said school
elected Mr.. Semmes teacher, for the
term of tonr months. Two .'of the
trustees supported an other person,
and failing to elect him.; sought to
break up the school by refusing to
certify to Mr.. Semmes' monthly re-
port, under which he would be entit-
led to his salary. Semmes appealed
to the Board, Of Supervisors. backed by
majority Of the patrons. He was
represented by Messrs Downs and |
McAlllstcr and the Trustees by r. |
| dreaves, Esq. Counsel for SemmGs
held that township patrons, and not
trustees elect their teachers, that trns
tees contract with teachers elect, Ger
tify to their reports and are otherwise
the patrons in vacation, that they must
execute the ascertained will of tile
patrons. that they cannot with hold
teachers salary on alleged grounds OF
incompetency, that teachers certif-
cate is not required to qualify one to
teach township school, that the
Board of Supervisors appoint the
township trustees and therefore have
jurisdiction over them and can correct
any errors committed by them.
Lengthy legal arguments were sub
mltted pro and con and the Board del
cided in favor OF Semmes by allowing
him his salary. We think the Board
was correct and that commonly accept
ed IDEAS as to the powers OF school
trustees are misleading and erroneous.
The great doctrine OF local self govern
ment enters into the argument of
Messrs Downs and McAllister and In
fact was principally relied on by them
