We propose hereafter to give our read ers the benefit of such decisions of general public interest as may be made by the su perintendent of common schools. Sub-districts cannot be required to pay for the erection, purchase or rent of school houses out of their share of school funds. That is in all cases the duty of the direc tors, who pay such expenses out of the general fund of the district. If sub-dis tricts were required to erect, purchase or rent school houses, the whole amount of their funds would be consumed in that manner, and they would then he enable to keep their schools open " not less than three months," as is required by law, for they have no power to raise money, but must depend entirely upon the amount given them by the board of directors to keep their schools open for the term speci fied. The bonrdof directors must appropriate a sufficient sum of money to each sub-dis trict to keep its schools in operation " not less than three months" in each school year. The board of school directors can only 41 control" committees of sub-districts so far as to prevent them from exercising powers not expressly granted to them. The school directors of every district are required by law to keep all the schools of their district in operation at least three months in each school year, (including the schools of sub-districts,) so as to give every scholar the opportunity to obFain three months schooling per year, and if they abuse their trust in this regard, they may he prosecuted by indictment for misde meanor. Directors have a right to make such dis tribution of the school funds between sub districts as to thein shall seem just and proper, appropriating sufficient to each to keep its schools in operation at least three months. In order to create a third sub-district out of parts of two other sub-districts, it is ne cessary that a majority of the citizens of each of the two sub-districts give their as sent to the proposed alteration of their lilies. The certificate of school teachers must he renewed annually, and as no certificate can he given except upon actual examina tion. it follows that all teachers must be ex amined annually. The changes in the di rectorship of the public schools, as well as the propriety of improvements and fre quent tests of capacity, will suggest reasons for these repeated examinations. Newly elected directors are held to be in office as soon as they receive their cer tificates of election, or claim their seats at a meeting of the board with proper evi dence of their election. The directors supplanted have no authority to act after their successors are elected. There never is a new hoard of directors where the law takes its regular course, ex cept when new districts arc formed. Debts legally contracted by a board of directors irfany vcar and left "unpaid, must be liqui dated by the board in succeeding years. Directors may in their discretion require the schools of their districts to be kept open every day of each calendar month, except Sundays. The most general rule is to keep them open "0 days per month, but some districts limit the school month to tit days. A less number than tit days would not be sanctioned by the depart ment. Above that number the length of time to be taught within a calendar mouth is at the discretion of the directors. The occupation of a farmer is not taxa ble lor school purposes. The correct mode of levying school tax es is, first to "assess upon all offices S'.'.u posts of profit, professions, trades and oc cupations," except the occupation of farm ers, 44 and upon all single freemen above the age of til years who do not follow any occupation, any sum which the school di rectors shall deem proper and sufficient, not exceeding the amount assessed on the 2 squares, 6 mos. §5,00 " 1 year 10,00 i column, 3 inos. 8,00 6 " 10,00 1 year 15,00 1 column, 3 mos. 10,00 " 6 " 15,00 " 1 year 25,00 Notices before MAR RIAGES, &c, §l2. ilSf© IPmSZLiHSHIIIIS) WH ©ll©]B©li IFIE'2 , Sn3S , ©ISIB3 SCnffffaffiH' IPjLO same for state and county purposes, except that the sum assessed on each shall iit no case be less than fifty cents." After hav ing done this the directors should ascertain how much additional tax it is necessary to raise to meet all the proper and legal de mands of the current school year, and as sess that amount upon the property of the disirict, without regard to whether the owner of such property had been before taxed for any oflice or post of profit, pro fession, trade or occupation, or as a single freeman. Whatever money is due from tax col lectors of preceding years can be collected from them oy the directors by bringing suit upon the collector's bonds; or il they have given none, by an ordinary action of debt. Directors are instructed by the de partment to collect old duplicates promptly. It is tiie specific duty of constables to receive the school duplicate from the treas urer, and it is also their duty to give bond, <fcc. The oath of office of every consta ble enjoins upon him to perform all duties required of him by law. If in violation of his duty and oath of office, he refuses to receive the duplicate and give the re quired bond, the treasurer may appoint some other person to collect the unpaid school tax. And here express provision on the subject ends. The failure of the constable to give the security required, and the refusal of all others to accept the col lection of the unpaid school tax, is certain ly a case not contemplated. The district treasurer cannot collect by levy and sale such taxes himself, but in his selection of another to collect the same he is not con fined to the inhabitants of the district and may select one out of it. The " three hundred dollar act" does not exempt property from levy and sale for taxes. The foregoing decisions of the Superin tendent arc selected from a mass of simi lar ones, as being of an interesting charac ter to the reader. A number of fiivolous questions are daily decided with which it is unnecessary to encumber our columns. —Keystone. LITTF.RIXO IIORSES. —It is said that, in Sweden, horses are never littered. Plank doors are laid in their stables, perforated witii holes, to enable the urine to flow ofl", so that no wet, and but little moisture, can remain on thein: and these planks, kept clean, are the only covering supplied. This practice will appear strange to many, especially to ostlers in this country, but the Swedes attribute to it the soundness of their horses feet. Their animals are rarely lame in their feet or legs, and 110 other precautions are taken to prevent the evil than that above named. A late tourist, in remarking on this subject, says :— 4 The founder I consider to be occasioned, in some degree, bv the animals standing in soft straw, which is generally moist if not wet. The Swedish horse is never affected by it, as he stands on a dry, hard lloor, without airy bedding at all.'— Olive Branch. SALT A\O WIRE WORMS AGAIN. —We find the following in the 4 Prairie Farmer' of a late date, which is another strong evidence of the efficacy of salt, even when but sparingly applied, to rid the soil of these vexatious and injurious pests: On taking possession of a piece of ground five years ago, lor a garden—now in this city, but then out upon the prairie —we found it infested with wire worms. They were present by thousands in every part of the soil, and the question was how to git rid of them. Two years after, we procured some refuse salt, and sowed at the rate of 3£ bushels per acre, in the fall of the„year. On working the ground the next summer these worms had nearlv all gone away, and now there is scarcely a solitary resident left. This would seem to say, salt them. To KEEP A STOVE BRIGHT RY TWO AP PLICATIONS A YEAR. —Make a weak alum water, and mix British lustre with it, per haps two tea-spoonsful to a gill of alum water; let the stove bo cold, brush and rub it till it is perfectly dry. Should any part before polished, become so dry as to look gray, moisten with a wet brush and proceed as before. AI NT IIETTV S ADVICE. —Oh, girls ! set voui all'ectious oil cats, poodles, parrots, or lap dogs—but let matrimony alone. It s the hardest way on earth ol getting a living—you never know when your work isdidup. Think of carrying eight or nine children through the measles, chicken-pox, rash, mumps, and scarlet fever, some of 'em twice over ; it makes my sides ache to think ol it—Oh, you may scrimp and save, and twist and turn, and dig arid dek, economize and die, and your husband w-" marry again, take what you've avcd to dress his second wif& y i'm, ; „,d she'll take your poriyjit for a fire board, and—hut vu AAT s the use ol talking! I warrant every one of you'll try it, the Hi =t chance you get; theie is a sort of bewitchment about it somehow. Why is an errand boy like an old horse put up at auction ' Because he'll go for what he'll fetch. FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 19, 1852. A "Fast" Trout! and Learned Bobolink! Dan Marble, in crossing the Allegheny mountains, one summer, fell in with a lisli jng party from Philadelphia, and they in sisted on Dan's holding up and going out to lisli with them. ' Well,' says Dan, ' we went, fished and fished and fished. We drank a barrel of mon-ga-haly, and carried about two pounds of fish back to the hotel in Ilollidaysburgh. I got ' strayed of!"' one morning from the party, and, rod in hand, was overtaken by an old cock in a very ancient-built gig, high as a three story corn-crib. Ilis sober face, broad-brimmed hat, and square-tailed coat, bespoke him a Quaker. The old fellow drew up, eyed me a moment, and coming to the conclusion that I was a hu man, he invited me to get in and ride down the mountain ; and as i had some distance to go to overtake my friends, I mounted the cock'd up concern, and the old fellow gave his mare—a vixenish little rip —tho string, and away we went. 'Thee's trouting, eh?' ♦Slightly,' says I. ♦ lias thee a fondness for fishing ?' 'Not very strongly inclined that way,' says I. 'The trout arc a very cute sort of fish,' says lie. -'JgKice had a tame trout in my pond. I pur him in the pond when he was about as big as my finger. 1 fed him regularly, and he and 1 became very so cial. 1 frequently lifted him from the pond in my hand ; and he grew on 'till, I reckon, he weight a matter of three pounds, good; and 1 thought, one day, as 1 had some city friends to dine with me, I'd take out my fish and have him cooked. Ha! ha! really 1 believe the critter guessed my in tentions, for he never would come near me after that. 1 coaxed and tried to inviegle him for some time ; but it was no use, Mr. Trout was shy, and avoided all further sociability. 1 bailed a hook with a most templing morsel; but no, plague the crit ter, he was done with me. 1 next bor rowed a scoop net, and though I'd get it nigh under him, away he'd dart beneath a stone, and out of my reach ! 'The trout grew bigger and bigger, and so fat and saucy that 1 made up my mind that he must lie eat. 11a! ha! at last 1 made a snare. Now, my old friend, said i. thee's bound to conic out; but—ha! ha!—plague take the fellow, the moment 1 put the noose over his body, he'd poke his nose down in the gravel at the bottom of the pond, wiggle bis tail, and oil* would slip the wire, of course. The sleek rogue actually appeared to be laughing at me. and 1 went away declaring that he might live for ever, if he could.' ' Well,' says I, interested in the fish and story, ' did he continue to live and llourish V •Not long; for my son said he'd bet most anything he could catch him, and he did.' ' Ah, indeed,' says I, 'and how did he proceed V •Ha! ha! I'll tell you. Reuben caught a dozen large grasshoppers, and threw them into the pond; the fish was very fond of the grasshoppers, and having eaten them all, lie became so springy, that, in jumping for a fly, he actually sprang clean out of the point, anil Reuben caught the critter before he could jump bach again 1 told my Quaker friend I guess'd I'd get out! about then ! Dan Marble told rather a rich affair about himself and Durivage going out near New Orleans to shoot, 'l'hey fell in with a few bobolinks , but Dan said neither he nor JJuri could fetch one to the giound. •Frequently,' says Dan 'we crept di rectly under a low ash or alder, upon the top of which one of these clalterers was perched, taking deliberate aim, our muskets charged with about six inches of powder, and blazed away. Down the bird would come almost to the ground, and when we thought we had him secure, oil' he would fly. After performing divers fantastic gy rations, and flapping his wings to convince us that we had not wounded or hurt him, he would suddenly stop still in the air, peak knowingly and wickedly in our laces, and in the joyousness of his exuberant fancy, would open with a song of his own com position, the burden of which sounded to us something like the following: 'Ha! ha! ha—don't you wish you could? Clink, bang! Wasn't I off in season? lliti-ka-dink. l'ut in more— powder. Chickadee, de-kec. You had better shoot with a shovel. Ila! ha! ha! You can't come it. Did you think you had me? but you didn't, thong',,. Call again to-morrow—always ;', n J me at home. —Chickadee—P wlieet. Never felt so well in 1,,y life. Don't von feel cheap? Via! ha! ha! llipsidady. Catch a bobo link asleep. Zittikawheet. you are the consarnedest fools I ever saw. Licka-te split. Give my respects to your aunt. How's your ma f Takes me. Hip! zip! rattle-hand. Ila! ha! ha! Co to the devil. Skeet!' After indulging in this bit of extempo raneous raillery, and laughing all the while—we could fairly see him laugh— the bobolink would turn and fly ofl to the next bush, leaving us to load, creep up and bang away agaiu or not, to suit our fancy. DODGING THE RESPONSIBILITY.—' Sir,' said Fieryface, the lawyer, to an unwil ! ling witness, 4 sir, do you say upon your ! oath, that Blimpkins is a dishonest man V 4 I did'nt say he was ever accused of , being an honest man, did I V | 4 Does the court understand you to say, , Mr. Pipkins, that the plantifFs reputation i' s bad V inquired the Judge, merely put ting the question to keep his eyes open. ; 4 I did'nt say it was good, I reckon.' 4 Sir,' said Fieryface, 4 sir-r, upon your ; oath—mind upon your oath—you sav that Blimpkins is a rogue, a villain and a thief?' 4 You say so,' was Pip's replv. • 4 Haven't you said so V 4 Why. you've said it,' said Pipkins, 4 what's the use of my repeating V 4 Sir-r !' thundered Fieryface, the De mosthenean thundercr of Thumbtown, 4 sir, I charge you upon your sworn oath, do you or do you not say, Blimpkins . stole things ?' 4 No, sir,' was the cautious reply of j Pipkins, 4 I never said Blimpkins stole | things ; but I do say—Ac'v got away oj finding things, that nobody has lost /' i 4 Sir,' said Fieryface, 4 you can retire i and the court adjourned. CONTRAST OF COLORS.—The Portland Eclectic says that an exquisite young lady j wriggled into a dry good store on Middle I street, one day last week, and addressing j , the clerk with the most excruciating drawl she could affect, enquired if he had 4 any subdued mouse color silk.' 4 No,' replied he, with a sudden and expressive twirl of the yard stick, 4 but we have some enraged rat color. J READY WIT.—A person threw the head of a goose on the stage of the Belvillc theatre. Corto, advancing to the front, said— 4 Gentlemen, if any amongst you have lost your head, do not be uneasy, for I will restore it at the conclusion of the ; performance.' A country editor, describing a dance, at a village ball, said : — 4 The gorgeous strings of glass beads glistened on the heaving ■, bosoms of the village belles, like polished rubies resting on the delicate surface of ; warm apple-dumplings.' An Irish girl hereabout in Gotham, who plumed herself upon being employed in a 4 genteel family,' was asked a de , (tuition of the term. 4 When they have two or three kinds of wine, and thegentle men swear !' was the satisfactory reply. Mrs. Russell says it is not as much trouble for a 4 nus' to take care of sick people as some folks imagine. The most of 'ei*tion't want anything, she says, and when they do, they don't get it.
