DAY, MAY VKE, Editor. it The Importune* of a.single votf( yr ilie Inter-Ocean, was well ruled in I lit recent town election ttatovlR. 1)1. For many years the (frirn Board l>*# refused to grant Heen- *> r. That body csiiMms of cix members, one-half elected each year. Laet year sfhe license faction elected their three Iranriiriatep. This year one license can­ didate was dented by one majority. So kbi Old-lime policy of Batavla is to be Weivfil by that «ne vote. Every tem- peran«-e man who failed to vote nmst tie kicking himwlf all over town ever •Inee he learned the result.

H. Norton, a yoting scientist •f New York, claims to have discov­ ered a number o( new laws relating to planets. This U a gratifying %lece of Intelligence. The old laws relating to planets are well worn and frryed at the edges, and it is quite time seme new ones, more in spirit with the progress of the nineteenth century, were adopted for their gov­ ernment. One of the new statutes, we Mpe:t. regulates the sale of whiskey In Mars on Sunday, and another pro­ fit bi is cows from running at large to Jup'.tei. It is hoped Mr. Norton %rill be able to enforce his new laws. S9*One point in rioting the business prosperity of tlie couury has4>een thus >ffsr overlooked by those gathering sta- * UtatUfe. It is the great success that has •ttended strikes this spring. The Chi­ cago bricklayers asked for an advance end got it; trades unions in different ^cities asked for a new schedule of • "wages, and in several instances it was * granted witlioot a strike being resorted ; 3to; of the 1.500 union carpenters who «truck in New York for an advance of * fifty cents a day, all have returned to ! work except about sixty, the advance •fked for being granted. When busl- ' jm prospers, wages are higher, but feslilteB it lags, wages are necessarily brought down to the lowest point. Tlie strikes of this spring have, therefore. ^ illustrated that business is so much ^2 better that higher wages can be paid. HAHTLASO. Editor P laindeai.kR j--Permit me through the medium of your wide cir­ culated paper to say a word relative to that "newbroom" of tlie Democrat In tlie Issue of April 21, whick, in the opinion of said Saxon, is sweeping a little too clean. We know a hit bird alwajs flutters, or at least drops a feather or two, hut. we never knew any thing but a hurt pig to squeal. I for one say good! 1 am glad to see a broom with brush long enough, handle strong enough and wielded by a hand firm enough to sweep fron the ranks of teachers that too long have been a curse to schools and school teaching; who are too lazy or indolent to lit themselves for this work ac teachers, and are too nice to earn a living by mechanical, farm or liouse work, seeking in anjv way to procure that piece of paper thAt will entitle thein to draw public moiie but in no way showing their qualifica­ tions of books or moral standlrg. When with this web of a disguise coming forth to teach, or rather keep a school for whatever they can get. with no other desire only to get the money for the time spent in the school; for it is time spent by both teacher and pupila In most cases lost to improvement but given to vice. Yes. let these and such as these be swept from the ranks oT teachers, then their places will be filled by teachcrs of jvorth, and the school* of our county will be a blessing rathef than a cune, which I am sorry to say i«* a deplorable fact in far too ma;:y cases at the present time.

Said board informed me that a good teacher is wanted. Address ci ther of the above at Harvard. The wind of the last few days has scattered the news so much T could not find any. It Is now estimated that nearly three,htindred lives were lost in the hurricane that swept over the southern section of the United States on Mon- day, April 23d. This rounds out the frightful record of tiie first four months of 1883. adding to the most disastrous floods, fires, explosions, and calamities at sea the most destructive storm that lias sVept tl.e country for many years. Nearly Ave hundred people went down with tlie Oimbria, scores of lives were lost iu the Mil­ waukee Are, and hundreds of lives have been lost in various explosions. The floods on the Ohio and upper Missis* eippi are followed by hurricanes on the lower Mississippi, and the casualty record of 1883 bids fair to become the most nota jle of auy year in modern times.--Inter Ocean. tSTWe pity any man who is in the midst of an attack of delirium tremens or as they are commonly known, the *jim jams." and especially does our heart gn out to a poor wretch in this .state if he happens to be a Sunday School Superintendent. Tlie pretended editor of tlie Woodstock Sentinel comes under the last head, and when he spoke (by proxy) in his last issue about our primer lessons, he *as probably in a bad state of the "horrors," and in his extreme excitement one of the mar.y reptiles iu his boots possibly showed Itself to his distorted vision, and he, knowing that the P laikdkaler was after him. supposed it to be the editor, when had his vision been clear, he would have perceived it was only a fancy of his exited imagination.

The dividend of the Greenwood cheese and butter factory for tlie month on March, was 91.51. E. F. Hewes, of Hebron, made our merchant Soper a friendly call 0116 4 last week. He reports business as flour­ ishing in their town as it generally is. Chas. Smith and Miss Nellie Baker, both of this place, were married at Uenoa the tweuty-fifth inst. May suc­ cess be theirs. Next Monday, Wm, Wire commen­ ces his labors as teacher of the summer term of the Solon school, and no doubt he will be as successful in the future as he ha; been in the past. He has taught tlie school above named for the past year, and is one of the best teachers In the county. The grist mill is undergoing repairs and will not be running again for two or three mouths at least, and besides mending the break is to be thoroughly overhauled. The presiding elder,' Rev. Mandeville pre ached in the M. E. Church last Fri­ day night. Jacob Boyd, an old and respected citizen of this place, died last Friday morning in the seventy eighth year of, his age. He was born in Derby county. Ireland, in 1805; removed to Canada in 1836, staying there but a short time, when he settled in New York where he continued to reside until he came here In 1871. He had been sick for some time, so that his death was not wholly unexpected by the relatives aud inti­ mate friends of the diseased. The funeral was held at the house, on ac­ count of Mrs. Boyd, whose health is in a very critical condition, owing to old age and rlcumetism. Tlie services were conducted by the pastor of the Presbyterian cjiurch of Lynn. Wis. We also have to note another sad event, in the death ot Mr. J.'Dassow, which dccurred last Saturday morning. He lias been suflerer for a longtime, being afflicted with cancers, which soon became incurable. He leaves a largo family to mourn his loss, who have the heartfelt s^npathy of all who know them. The services were held In the Baptist church. Ji«v. 1). D. Odell preaching the funeral sermon.
