tion has always enjoyed the distinction
Of being one Of the most honorable, de-
Lucrative and dignified bodies Of public
men in the state, but the boards work
during the past year has been eminently
satisfactory and worthy of much com

1t is believed to day that DIR. r. R.
Tybout will be persuaded to become a
candidate for the uuexpred term Of John
E Connolly at the election next Satui-
could be chosen as Mr.. Connoliy's sue
cessor. and It is acknowledged by all
that the only action necessary to bring
about his election by handsome
msiority is the remark from him "My

nent member OF the Board Of Education
last night, land Il is the sense of the
board that the people could not choose a
more acceptable representative. In my
opinion, DIR. Tybout will be the new
member Of the board.
Want Mr. Mccoy for Superintendent.
IL Is believed that the sentiment
throughout New Castle hundred to-day
is that the Board Of Trustees OF the Poor
could not do a more satisfactory piece Of
business at the organization meeting to-
morrow at the Rlmshouse, than to select
as superintendent David Mccoy, of New
Castle. Mr. Mccoy now has as his sup
porters a majority Of the new trustees
and, II they do not change their minds
In voting, he will be the successful man.
Mr.. Mccoy is one Of these reliable, genial
and industrious citizens whose reputation
Is spotless even among those who will
vote against him. He Is prominent
member of the Presbyterian Church and
has for years successfully carried on the
large Common farm opposite the New
Castle reservoir and known as Centre
Hall farm.
