The cycling fraternity of Woodbury. are
preparing to i%naugurate a vigorous war
fare against paying toll on some of thu
roads leading in a sOutherly direction

wheelmeen is that drivers OF teams are es'
pecially inconsiderate on toll roads, and
that the turnpike companies have made
no effort to protect the rights and priv
leges of the cycling patrons, and are,
therefore, not justified in collecting toll.
A number of the wheelmen have resolved
to defy the turnpike companies, and oil
late clubs of "bikers" w ridden ovel
the roads and refused to pay the agents
of the companies for road privileges
while others resort to a different scheme

winning the appreciation of all.
At a meeting of the Board:of Education
on Saturday afternoon, the selection of
Prof. V. s. Smith, as principal of our
public school, by a committee, was not
confirmed, because of a raise in his salary.
Prof. Smith has greatly improved the
school the past year. and as his services
are wanted at several other places, he
modestly asked for 5000, and he would
be cheap at that price, but the Board
could not see it in that light, and he will
now go elsewhere, and the Alloway school
will taxi who they can get. At a meet
ing of the Board some time ago it was
decided that the member of the Board in
each old school district hire their own
teacher, and there being two members in
the town district and three teachers to
hire they divided, and one was to hire
the primary and intermediate and the
other n was to hire the principal
teacher, which was done. Prof. Smith
being the man, and the action of the
Board in refusing to confirm the selection
is a surprise and does o meet with
general favor.
