Fifty Years Ago.

Died on the 22nd inst, in the town OF
Mineral Point, Mrs. Polly Hayes, wife
of Mr.. Amos. Hayes.
On Monday of last week we visited
Mr.. Warren's school on Fountain street.
We found between forty and fifty
scholars in attendance An effort has
evidently been made TO keep the room
as clean as possible, but it is beyond
the skill of any teacher to make that
room fit place for a school. The late
rains have washed the mud in front of
the building and the bottom of the door
being below the surrounding ground,
nothing can prevent the mud from wash
ing into the building. 1t is disgrace
to any place, and especially one of the
wealth Of Mineral Point, TO have pub
lie school so utterly unfit for the habi-
tation of man. We would advise par
ents who send their children to the
Fountain street school to visit it and
sec WDSIt liltlT tiIluTen are COlupSliGi
to remain for six hours day. On
Tuesday afternoon we called in at Mr..
Wilson's school where sixty-five chill
dren were Accommodated no, not accom-
odated, but slowed away in room a
little better than that occupied by Mr..
Warren, but in no way suited to the
wants of the scholars. Miss Turner's
school came next and here we found
about fifty more children in room not
at all fitted for school, We have
not visited Miss Bowden' S school Of late
but we know her school room is no bet
ter than the one occupied by Mr.. War
rem. We are sorry to be compelled to
allude thus to the public school rooms in
this city, but children educated in such
dirty holes can never be-
come such men and women as they are
capable of being Parents, you owe it
to your children to provide better rooms
for your public schools.

 Gentlemen :--I have seen the use Of "COSCURA' in cases of extreme irrita~ ton of the skin and know that it does in quick time. As laypan. 1 cannot give the scientific ieasons why it's use should be widespread with persons suf- fering with skin diseases. Its use, some day. will be world wide and 8 physician of whatever school should not hesitate to substitute it for usuai or favorite pre- scriptions.
 It seems to be sort of blend or happy combination Of ingredients with which the medical profession daily try to cure; but they don't know the way to mix tt in a pandora box as you do-any way no germ destroyer hns escaped. Very truly yours, CHAS. D. GREAVE'S.
