Common School Decisions.
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

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.

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

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 ;

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 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.
