The old adage "it never rains hut it pours," i
lias been verified ill Mr. M AI.LOKY'S experi
ence. Lately he sold his fast horse for $lO,-
500, and now he has disposed of the old Fall
Creek cars, which have been idle on the track
near the Nail M ills for the past four or live J
years, for, report says, nearly $40,000.

"We called on M. 11. CASE. Esq., mayor of
the city, who is an old acquaintance, and was
formerly—some fourteen, years ago—a young j

paper published in Northern Pennsylvania,
and as such is entitled to the generous and
undivided support of the Republican party.

Superintendent's Notes.
Dec. Ilth and 12th —Visited the following
schools and teachrs: Lcßoy, No. s. Nolle
Lvon: No. 2. Arville Webster; No. 1. Belle
Chaapcl. Sinithlield —No. 14, Man Brighani;
No. It!, Enos Uuhhard; No. 17. Mahlon
Thomas; No. 15, Claudes 11 u lhut.
Director McCranev present at No. 8, Lcßoy,
sharply criticised a number who came late,
and would compel a number of youth idling
t line in streets, had he power, to attend school.
The sentimentalities opposed to compulsory
education, are constantly attributing non-at
tendance to defective teaching.
No. 3 and No. 8, Lcßoy Village, are both
excellent schools, yet half a score of street
Arabs were playing ball within a stones
throw of the schools, and the director said
nothing could induce them to attend. One
of them was offered several shillings per
week to stop swearing and smoking, and to
attend school, hut he was incorrigible. With
such, "what will the harvest be?" Schools
doing well.
No. 17, Kmithtield, could bear from teacher
a h'ttle more snap.
No. 1, Lellov, showed admirable results in
writing. This important branch has for
sveral years been really neglected in our
schools, but it is seldom now that a teacher is
found in our county who is not doing good
work in this subject.

Heavily upon my heart,
And eartlv thoughts no peace impart.
Earthly hopes, all hollowness—
Earthly joys, deceit fulness—
Earthly praise, a tinsel gain—

Earthly stay, an ebbing wave—

From worldly wastes, >o drcarih
That round me lie—
From trouble, toil, and vanity,
From care and strife,
To thee I turn, to thee I lly.

Items from the Can'on Sentinel of this
week :
A barn belonging to FRANK MAYO, and
situated nearly opposite his residence, was
destroyed by tire Tuesday night. The tire
originated in the loft of the barn, and nearly
all of its contents was saved. The Indepen
dent boys were on hand, but their services
were but little needed.
We acknowledge the receipt of an invita
tion to the Seventh Annual Reception of the
Naiad Co. No. 2. of Towanda. which will he
held on New Year's night. From the well
known character of the gentlemen composing
the managing committee, a grand affair may
safely be assured.
Mr. 11. B. PARSONS has recently been.mak
ing a canvas with a view to obtaining a cor
rect list of the adult residents of this boroUgh.
The result shows that there are 312 males and
324 h males, making the total adult population
of the borough 636. As the adult population
of any town is estimated to be about two
lift lis of the entire population, it foilows that
the population of Canton at the present time
is something.like sixteen hundred.
Country dealers will find it to their advant
age to HUV their candies at FITCH'S.
ATIIKNS. December 13th.
At a meeting last night the subject of a
reading room was discussed, and we are now
in a fair way to have that much needed insti
tution in this place. We hope it will prove a
success, as it will, if the present plans are
carried out.

TORS AND TAX PAVERS—The fol

DKPAKTMKNT OK Pru. INS., I
llarrishurg, Pa., Dec. 1, IS?.). J|
There is hut one time in the year when di
rectors can adopt a new series of text books
for the schools under their charge, or change
i old ones, and that is between the time of
electing teachers and the opening of the
j schools. Section 215, Act of M. y 1, 1S")4, says:
" That immediately after the annual election
I of teachers in each school district of the state,
and be fere the opening of the schools tor the
ensuing term, there shall he a meeting of the
I dimeters or controllers and teachers of each
j district; at which meeting the directors or
[ controllers shall decide upon a series of school
hooks, in the different branches to he taught
during the ensuing school year; which books,
and no other, shall be used in the schools of
the district during said period.''
Such is the law, with this exception, that
books cannot now be changed more frequent
l\ than once in three years. •
