To the Farmers of Snyder County. 1 would like to have a meeting of the farmers of our county iu the P. The MidJIecreek Township School House Muddle. For n number of years tho citizens of Smithgrovo have agitated tho propriety of rrectiug a school house in that placo for tlio reason that too large a number of pupils, nearly or about one huudrod, aro attending tho school at Wetzel's. A new school house will bo erected and at once Hot tlo a vexed question. .las. J. Mitchell has received tho contract at '.U Vourh r. The facts in tho above case are that four of tho directors met some time aco to take action for building n school house, and appointed a building committee of two w ho were authorized to purchase a site and contract for plans and specifications and to award a contract for the erec tion of a building. The committee purchased a site, published notice of letting, and awarded tho contract as above stated. There tho powers of tho committee ended. Two of the directors having refused in tho first instance to join with tho rest, they persuaded ono of the four who had voted for the resolution, to join them against building. At a subsequent meeting this director moved to have the resolution reconsidered, but tho other three remaining firm, defeat ed the motion. Tho last Legislature passed an act. approved June 0, lH!i:J, empowering the Court of Common Pleas, upon tho petition of at least ten taxable citizens of the district, sworn to by at least six of the petitioners, com plaining that school facilities of the district are insufficient, to appoint an inspector to take testimony and Tuesday, September 2Cth, at 1 p. in.. for the purpose of organizing an ag ricultural society, so that we can elect a representative to tho State Ag ricultund Society.

Here is something for the ladies to try their skill on : ' Take a leaf of a tree or shrub, place il iu u small pieco of white linen soaked in spirits of nitre, and insert between tho leaves of a heavy book with a sheet of pa per to receive tho impression.

A number of tho farmers of Craw ford Co., O., have been caught in a deal for "Red Beauty" wheat. The agents who have been working it there have disposed of a full car load of seed wheet. The seed company furnishes seed wheat and fertilizer, while the farmer furnishes tho laud and laborfor seediiig.raising.harvest ing and threshing, and then gives tho company half of his crop. Just where tho farmer makes anythiug from it is not stated in tho ironclad contract. When enemies gather around, when sickness falls on tho heart, when tho world is dark and cheer les, then is tho timo to try friend ship. Tho heart that is puro gold will redouble its effort when tho friend is Bad and in trouble. Ad versity tries real friendship.

If you have a friend who loves you, who lias studied your interests ai d happiness, bo sum to sustain him in adversity. Let him feel that his love was not thrown away. i the petition, and. if the inspector reports in favor of the petition, the Court is to grant a rule on the direc tors who refuse to act to show causo why they should not bo dismissed from ollico and others appointed in their stead to serve until the next election.

Our public schools opened on Monday and Grace P.artoii, iu a lit tle couplet expresses the whole agony of tho school boy : My Imul'i hi'icli HtiinMi'r Him i )ir txxik My iru.-hiT kI"' to nil', Anil luiw i n K(-t fiij In in lieu.l I truly r.uiiiot The boys and girls could often times get inoru into their heads than they care to, or make any effort to acquire, and yet, on the whole, their wail i not without justification. Public schools, an wi 11 as most oth er educational systems, are too much given to forcing fact into the heads of pupils, just as if thnv com prized, all available knowledge. It lias been most convenient to mens uro the advancement of pupils bv tho number of "knowledge items" they have crammtd into tin ir heads, irrespective of mind development. And thus tho system has been con tinued, simply because the teacher in his examinations can find no oth er available method by which to grade the units of a pupil's intelli gence. To tho observant one it appears that wo fail to arrest tho dormant powers of tho pupils. Suppose that on leaving school wo wish to fore cast a lad'B future. What shall we try to find out about him T Shall we ask what he kuowa T No ; this would by uo means be tho main thing. What we would ask, first and fore most, is thia Whom does ho love 1 Whom does he admire aud imitate ? What does he care about t What in teieaUiiimf It is only when the t - . ? . . . isfactory that wo can thiuk hopeful ly of his future ; and it is only in so far as tho school course has tended to make tho answers satisfactory that it deserves our approval. Our public school system is not suffi ciently calculated to enlist the heart and thu affections of the pupil. Jt Were wiser to develop I lie powers of the mind and body by exercise and endeavor to instill an interest iu the children that will raise and elevate them.

A 1UO I'HOJECT IX IIAMi I O It TUE UEXE1 IT OK Sl'SylKIIANNA HSlKltME.. The Fish Commission is consider ing the advisability of altering tho tishway at Columbia uud erecting a new one at Shamokiu. At present but. few shad are forced beyond Co lumbia. Shad fishing practically ends there, the dam at that noint uot allowiug them to pass. It ia considered by many of tho commis sioners as most desirable to increase tho area of shad fishing. If tho pres ent plana aro carried out shad will be found as far away as Shamokiu. It is especially desired to restoro shad fishing iu tho Susquehanna. Thirty years ago the river teemed with enormous shad. If tho money needed can bo se cured fishways will bo erected iu tho Millorstown, Clark's Ferry, and Shamnkin dams. The shad can then ascend tho river, on its north branch, 11 s far as Xantieoko Dam; to Muney on tho West Eranch, and up tho Juniata to Millorstown. If tho Commissioners aro really iu earnest about these fish-ways there will bo no tioublii in constructing them so as to allow tho fish to como up, but they must consult tho old fishermen along tho river who have made the habitaof tho Susquehanna fish a life btudy. and not deoend too much on book learning.

Tho stii'ls tics really show that agriculture is safer than banking manufacturing or railroading taking all things into ac count. There is no farmer of good sense and good health anywhere in tho West Mr. Morton declares, who cannot make a good living for him self and family, and that is as well as majority of men aro doingiu any oth er pursuit. J ho man w ho ow ns a farm and sticks to it is certain to profit by it in the future. There is practically no more land to bo added to area of cultivation. Tho supply of agricult ural products has reached its limit in tho United States, ami musk now remain stationary, while tho do maud will go on increasing every year. This implies gradual im provement iu prices, aud a steady appreciation of tho value of farming lands. Two Important Rulings. ON Tltol'T l'MUNil AMi TIIK KII.I INnor nous. Judge l'urst made ruling last week in the Centre Ci. court, which Will beof interest elsew hel e.( )ne case brought before the court was a young man who had been catching speekled trout with a rod and line with several hooks upon it. Cotin sel for the fisherman argued that as he had c ught the trout with a rod and line, In- lia.l not violated the law. Judge Furst ruled that im species of lish was more protected by law than speckled trout, and that the intent of the law cleaily is that not nmie than one hook should be used to catch tin 111. The defendant was found guilty. The other lulinr wa in a o.. ease. Mrs. Kate lirown brought suit against '( -., Straw for shoot ing her dog. The minimal was a valuablo one, ns it protected her properly and she always took him along with !. t when she was alone. The dog went away and strayed into Straw's barn yard, w here he gave a thick of sheep some trouble. Straw shot the dog. The Judge ruled that while the dog was a valuable one to Mrs. Jirown, he was tresspassing on another man's property, and as tin law gave every man the right to shoot a dog when annoying sheep, tho defendant should be acquitted.
