RIVER BREVITIES
Pungent Paragraphs Of Interest to River
Men From Wharf and Bank,

Unless the weather moderates in the
course of the next few days navigation
on the river will probably be stopped
by the floating ice. The river above is
reported to be full of this enemy to the
boats and the cold weather will. of
course, increase the supply. The ad-
vance lot of the ice is expected here
early this morning and by noon river
men expect the channel to be filled. 1t
will in all probability not be heavy, as
the cold snap has not been of long
enough duration to produce ice of
much thickness. But if the cold
weather is protracted any length of
time falling river, consequent low
stage of water and low channel and
masses of floating ice would undoubt-
edly force all packets to go to the
bank
The only boat today is the City of
Wheeling, which passes down at noon.

failed, 131 to 1876.
Thereupon the bill was passed with
out the concurrence of the minority,

amendment placed on the bill yester-
day to tax express receipts was de-
feated on yea and nay vote, 1875 to
139. ..
The pension appropriation bill,
carrying $145,145, ,23O, was passed in ex-
actly thirteen minutes.

WAGES FOR TEACHERS.

Great difficulty is being experienced
in securing teachers for many of the
schools of Washington county, and it
is not at all a difficult matter to locate
the cause of the trouble.
Recently a bright young man was IL
censed to teach by the County School
Examiners of Washington county. and
knowing of vacancy he presented
himself as an applicant to the board
of directors of the district in question.
They offered to engage him for four
months at the "princely salary" of
twenty-five dollars per month. and in
justice to himself the young man
could do nothing else than decline the
offer.
This is but one of many instances
that might be cited and with such con-
ditions staring them in the face 1t Is
not surprising because the teachers
seek positions elsewhere or fit them
selves for other lines of work. 1t re-
quires time and money for young men
and women to fit themselves properly
for the responsible position of teach
er-all modern methods and books are
necessary, together with an eXpendi-
ture for educationa! journals, tuition
for college education, etc.
The fathers and mothers want the
very best teachers in the land for their
children, and all sorts of ''kicks" will
be quickly made if this or that little
thing is not just right.
The teacher is worthy of his hire,
and in order to get good services living
wages must be paid. The school exam
iners do the right thing when they
place the standard of examinations on
a plane that excludes those who are
not qualified to teach-a teacher
should be such in fact as well as in
name.
The proper policy is to get good
teachers and pay them good salaries
then there will be no complaints about
poor schools.

Suspicious Characters.

Saturday afternoon three fellows
who gave their names as Tom McCaf-
ferey, G. b .Keis and Teddy Glenn,
were given quarter of an hour by
police officers to get away from the
city. Needless to say they quickly
made themselves scarce. They have
been hanging about the city for some
time and have required the close at
tention of the police. We can very
well get along without gentlemen OF
