Among the many Institutions the
people of (Ms village have 1ut cause
to be proud of nonostands highe r than
our Graded School. Humors of the
efficient management of this school
by Prof. Johnson and wife, having
reached our ears from time to time,
and having an invitation from the
Principal to pay them a-isit. wemr.de
good our promise on Thursday after
noon last. In the first place the room
is a marvel of neatness and good taste,
pictures adorn the walls, beautiful
flowers and vines add to the home
like appearance, while the national
flags arouse the patriotism of the
scholars and the festoons of evergreens
on the window casings, and chande
lier in the centre of the ceiling, have a
cooling effect in the summer, and in
mid winter, remind these set kers after
knowledge that the ' summer will
come again, or perhaps they may, by
familiar associations with these em

be thereby enabled to keep an ever-

the stonn3 of adversity have dimmed
the eye, siuldei.ed the countenance
and grayed the. hair. The paper on the
wall, although in luctuo years, shows
no finger marks or oibir. effects of
careless usage, and we will venture
the assertion that few families of half
a dozen children, can boast of as well
kept paper, as this family of eighty.
Perfect order pervaded tlie atmosphere
of the beautiful room while the drill
of the classes is something remakable,
and is an evidence of patience, firm
ness and discipline that only a person
comc'ning all these qualities in thesu
superlative degree that Prof. Johnson
does, can ever hope to achieve. Visiting
school is considered a bore generally,
but V3 much fear that should the di

'.1'.3 ". ".-d School has been under
the present management, and although
It is impossible to please all and do
your duty, we will predict that no
other teacher will ever teach the same
length of time and give as general
satisfaction. By all means should
they be prevailed upon, if such a thing
be possible, to slay another year, nor
should the consideration of a few dol
lars stand in (lie way of the advance
ment of our children, for be it known
that simply teaching children from
text books is one thing, and teaching
them order, politeness, and placing
them under a good moral influence, as
is at present done, quite another. Too
high an appreciation can not be placed
on those of whom we write, and al
though our praise seems extravagant
maybe to those who have no personal
knowledge of the workings of the
school under present management, to
those who have visited the school we
appeal for the truth or falsity of our
estimate, feeling confident that a
unanimous aye will be the result of the
vote. To the scholars- of the school we
extend our congratulations for the
earnest manner in which they apply
themselves, as evinced by the rapid
progress they are making. Mrs. O B.
Grant and Mrs. C R. Kline were alto
visitors on Thursday afternoon.
On Monday evening of last week,
a black wretch named Dewatt at
tempted to outrage the person of a
twelve year old daughter of Mr. Hugh
Millen, of Oliver township. The
scoundrel had laid in wait for a victim
in a small piece of woodland near the
village! of Belleview, and as the child
passed he caught her and drawing a
razor on her threatened to kill her
if she made a noise. In spite of
his threats she cried for a sistanee,
and some men working iu an
adjoining field came to her rescue
when the black iiend tied. A party
of citizens started al ter hiin and soon
succeeded in capturing tl.e scamp,
when lie was brought bock to Belle
view and given a hearing before
Esquire Reitz, who comnitted him to
jail in default of bail. lie was brought
to Brookville and lodged in jail to
await the May term, when he will
doubtless receive a long lease at the
Western Penitentiary. Such depraved
beluga should be treated to a little
lynch-law, a this is about the only
way Justice' can teach thern. Brook
