1. Blackly, District Clerk, A copy of the "Annual report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction for 1S72."

There are male teachers, averaging $38 per month, 31 female teachers, averaging $10.50 month. The average number of months school the past year is 5.

Keep an eye on your windows, as balls are flying in every direction on the streets these days. The base ball season Is at hand, and every boy in town loves the "National Game."

Gilbert made a few remarks on Literary Societies, and then came the subject of debate, which was well selected and well xecuted, the subject in Question was 1 "Should parents in the United States be compelled by law to give their children a 'ommon school education," the negative, i.i our opinion, gaining the point. An instrumental duet given by Prof. Piatt and his sun (a little boy pi about eight years) was well received by the audience. Volume 5 and No. 7 of the "Literary Ensijn," witli "slowly but surely we progress" as iu motto, next made its appearance, being read by one of its worthy editors, Mr.

Davis. Hall and White, the music was given by Miss. Mudge. Mr. B.
