The time is fast drawing near when
it devolves upon the people to appoint
a highway overseer. In regard to that
allow us to make few suggestions.
If the town thinks they must have
sidewalks (and their action last year
plainly expressed it, in the selections
these things must be taken into con-
siderstion. Firstly: Adaptability of
the man. That is, let him be in full
sympathy with the movement. Sec
ondly: Fitness. Not man that when
he undertakes it will make botch of
the same, but a man that will make
lasting job of the work and q job that
| will be a credit to our village. Do not
appoint a. man that knows as much
about sidewalks as the sidewalks know
about him. Thirdly: Neatness, prompt
| ness, tirmness. One who will take
pride in his work; who will cover with
gravel instead of quicksand and not
put the large stones in the center Of
the walk. Seeing that the avowed OBJ
| ject of the village Is sidewalks inn
PEELED us to make these few sugges-
tions and we hope they will be accept
ed in the spirit in which they are Of
fered. Also our merchants on Main
street should lay a new walk between
| the stores of NJ. j. Bourke and w. j {.

REPLY TO CORRESPONDENT.

Thinking the Brockway correspond
ent, in last weeks Expostor, wished to
insinuate that the school and school
buildings are in u worse state than
they usually are, would advise him
to read the reply to East Lynn cor
respondent in last weeks issue-"pon-
der over it, chew it, and be sure to
digest it thoroughly as it fits his case
to a II.
The truth concerning the school is
bad enough without exaggeratiOn.
In the first place, every member of
the School Board have been at the
school house during this year; some of
them many times. TO be sure, there
are all the holes in the windows that
are necessary to supply sufficient
amount of fresh air, but there are no
whole windows out, neither are there
any whole panes Of glass out. And
further, only one of the holes has
been made during this school year.
The siding is torn off but that was
done previous to this year also.
do not doubt that there may haye
been some whiting done this year,
for when was the Brockway school not
noted for its wielders of the Jack

walk Case.


walk Case.
The case of McCabe VS.. the Village
of Yale which was set for trial in the
circuit court for March 18th has been
settled and dismissed.
The sum of $500 had been fixed as a
basis of settlement and the Council re-
fused to pay this amount and voted to
contest it, after which the case was
prepared for trial at this term. But
finally it was determined that if the
matter could he settled cheaper than
it could be tried it might be better to
reconsider the matter. With this un-
derstanding, and upon the recon-
mendaton of Mr.. Tappan and Phillips
& jerks, the village attorneys, as we'll
as many Of the business men of the
village the case was settled by payment
of 5000. Inasmuch rs it would un-
doubtedly take nearly week to try
the case and require the services of
attorneys, about a dozen witnesses,
and several physicians during that
time, there is no question but the
council has pursued the wisest course
in settling the matter.
At the same time it was determined
to contest the case brought against the
Village by James Pyar on account of
breaking his leg ia the culvert at the
foot of Main Street.

Grant and the Phrenologist.

Of this famous incident there are two versions. The fathers story runs thus:
 "When Ulysses was about 12 years old, the first phrenologist who ever made his appearance in that part of the country came to our neighborhood. One Dr. Buckner, in order to test the accu- racy of the phrenologist, asked him if be would be blindfolded and examine a head. The phrenologist replied that he would. So they blindfolded him, and then brought Ulysses forward to have his head examined.
 "He felt it all over for some time, saying to himself: 1t is no very con- mon head. It is an extraordinary headi' At length Dr. Buokner broke in with the inquiry whether the boy would be likely to distinguish himself in mathe- matics.
 "Yes," said the phrenologist, ''in mathematics or anything else. It would not be strange if we should see him president of the United States"
 The village version of the incident is quite different. With all his shrewdness and energy. the neighbors say, there was strain of singular guilelessness iii Jesse Grant. He was credulous and sim ple-in the old meaning of the word simple.
 According to their report, Dr. Buck ner was only putting up practical joke on his neighbor Grant As the timid and blushing Ulysses was pushed for. ward to the platform the crowd began to litter, and the quick witted lecturer seized upon the situation. - Hamlir Garland in McClure's
