Laytok, July 1. The Sandyston Board of Kduoation met Saturday evening to au dlt bills and hire teachers. The session was an harmonious one, and the business on hand was satisfactorily disposed of, There was numerous applications from teachers outside the valley. The Board Seemed disposed to oonsult the best Inter ests of each district, and expressed a desire to employ home teachers first, especiall y such as were well known and competent. A moderate reduction in salaries was made In some Instances, and gracefully submit ted to by the teachers who seemed willing to agree with the Board in the neoesslty of economy. The State appropriation being less each year the two horns of the dilem ma seems to be either to reduoe salaries or to lay a township tax.' The prospective high tax rate this year precludes the Idea Of meeting the emergency that way. At least no patron will need to chip in from his own pocket this year. The following is the list of teachers, and the salaries paid (or the coming school year. School com mencing Sept. 8.

The Church at Layton has been kalso- mlned and is improved much in inside ap pearance, the workmen seemed to be skill ful and have given good salisf action. Now (or a good ooat of outside white and the harmony will be perfect. The musical entertainment in the church at Layton on Thursday evening lattt was well attended, and the Phono graph with amplifying trumpet (or the audience made the evening paas very plea santly. The selections rendered ou the r 1 Sir telephone and horn were also good. Al though a very nice entertainment was giv en, we are told that the net receipts were only about three dollars. Some one recently sowed the gnnlen of H. E. Montross with some alien seed that Is not listed in Henrys catalogue as vege table seed. This is a rather tough joke on our host. He has our sympathies, and our hopes that he will discover the perpetrator and compel him to pull every weed.one by one. If he does not find him perhaps he can got our Freeholder to stand on his head aud pull them between rides on the merry' go-round. A new blacksmith at Layton, Mr. Cole has been very unfortunate In the death of several members of his family previous to his moving here. He is a fine worker in steel, and an excellent horse shoer, in (act Is said to be a good all round blacksmith. Thus a long felt want is supplied, now for an equally good worker In wood. Francis Simpson has a hound that must have been born a pointer. He got loose the other day and directly went to point ing chicks. When "Cap" resurrected them he found nineteen.

Your correspondent has in his possession letters from the United States District At torneys both of New Jersey and of Penn sylvan la, stating that the scurrilous postal cards received by me from a citizen of this town (who erronsously poses ss a gentle man) were a violation of the law.

On Deo. 82rd last when charges were preferred against C. W. Doming before the presiding elder at Montague, N. J., the said Deinlng stated to the Elder that among the other meritorious things he was to be oredited with while on this charge was the building of a barn at the parson age aud that the barn was paid for. Since Dec. 88 there has been about f 18.00 collect ed to pay on this barn. Last Sabbath Rev Van Glahn stated to his congregation that there was yet owing and yet unpaid upon this same barn a balance of between two and three dollars. Undoubtedly Mr. Van- Gluhn is correct in his statement, but how about pastor Deiulng. It strikes very many about here that the remark made by one of his devoted adherents since the naturalization fake was discovered "that pastor Deming was too trilling a man to a minister" voices the sentiment of a great many more people than it did three months ago.

The Electrical World of June 20th, contains an intoreHting article by 8. D. Mott, of this city, on the subject of mechanical flight. It is the first pnrt of a forthconlng series on this ihterosting problem. The heading of the article 1b " Proposed Meteor ological Mltchines For Raising Self Registering Instruments in the Higher Atmosphere by Orthogonal Flight," and is intended for uses by government -weather bureaus as an aid in the forecasting of the daily probabilities. The device shown by Mr. Mott has been favorably re viewed by several meteorologists and mechanical experts, and is to be submitted to the Washington bureau by Farmer Dunn of New York. Mr. Mott's attention to the subject was aroused by the interest and sugges tion of Dr. Maury, the professional head of tho weather department of the New York Herald.

' The college graduate orator at one stage or another in the proceedings is reasonably certain to bob up with chunks of wisdom from his valodic- tory. Fillod with wiso saws from the orators of 2,000 or 3,000 years ago, he is never tired of alluding to what Cicero said or Csesar did and recognizes no fact later than the time of Augustus, no axiom whose wisdom had not been proved by Seneca at the very latest. His sky scraping oratory invariably catchos the boys who are accustomed to it, having hca jd so much of it at school, and were young America consulted the college senior would bear off the palm as the prize orator of the day.
