Bud enter into contract ' with them for another five nionl hs, 'there is one clihise usually i'i the contracts willi teachers to whii li 1 ' would I ike'to (::ill the attention of our (?bool boartl'i. lt ia this: "It 'is -lrther agreed that the fir? ? hall ?'be intuit', or caused tn he mad- Hud 'the floor siiall regularly be swept, 1 Or caused to be swepl by th teacher.'" As to fitts clause the majority of the ttMcli'M's impose liii> task ap ni their pupils,' especially the sweep? ing and this ls one thing,] think. to which the school officers tis well as tin* parent?i should object. ; There ia nothing more harmful and detrimental tu the health, hud ; especial)*? is this true af young giris of delicate health, than to sweep a floor, a ntl one especially aa dusty tts the floor or a scho d room, and ' thustiil their lungs with dust which 'Sets them to coughing and of which they cannot get rid until they are again required to repeat the same task. As ti teacher of long cxperieme I have long ago adopted the plan of hiring some one, nn elderly per? son if I cnn secure their services who resiles near the school build? ing.to build Brea eat h morning half au' hour before the school is opened, that the school building may be comfortable for all the children, and that my work might Le taken up and carried o i wit li? on t being interrupted !.y the child ren crowding about the stove. I also have this person to sweep the school room each evening after school?have the sweeping done each evening that we may not be ?bothered by sny dust in the morn? ings. ' If there is no one living near the school building that I can hire, 1 have always succeeded in hiring one of the boys?nimarry a mg healthy fellow who lives ne;ir enough to attend to it promptly, for which services, I p.iv, out of my own pocket, 25 or 50 cents per month. There are many faults laid at our doors as teachers by the par? ents, but as I occupy the positii n of both teacher and parent 1 trust 1" can see clearly < n both sides, and I must say that if a teacher should require my daughter to sweep the "school room once or twice each week, I should protest, and would even carry my case before the school hoard, and if I could get no redress there I should keep my child at home. \ trust all the school board* of our county will feel it their duty to Incorporate in their contracts with ?teachers this nnd all succeeding years, a clause prohibiting them from imposing these tasks, espec? ially the sweeping, upon their pu? pils. If the teachers don't care fo do this work themselves let them hire some one else to do it. I hope the school children when asked by their teachers to perform these tasks, especially the sweeping ?will mark this article with a blue pencil and ham! it to him to read. PehaqoG-E.

Monday morning, soon aftei I breakfast, Mr \\ ilson started out from his limn", carrying his ^un | remarking to a member of his t'am j i'v that he was going to kill a hawk Night come and Mr Wilson had ! not returned, but his family was j not alarmed, thinking he had goni I to a neighbor's to spend the night, j but on Tuesday morning when lu j ditl ind, return, the family became I alarmed and a search was immedi? ately instituted, in which many ol tlie neighbors took parti About noon, as above stated, the object ol Cue search waa discovered and a? many feared, the worst bad lmp j pened, for a gust ly sight, one (hat the searchers will long remember | they were called to witness,?the lifeless body of Mr Wilson lying face downward on die ground, with ?ti bullet hole through his betid.
