The mode of britiglng out tlie different subjects as reported iu tlie last Programme, proved very Interesting.

Cnl. Palmer has moved his building formerly the old Saloon, to his farm.

Ttiere is but one left, a daughter uearly grown, but an invalid. The mother is a widow, and she to Is Very sick. It seems that more than a fair share of this life have fallen to the lot of Mrs. Mansfield. Her linsbaud died about ten years since, and since that time fonr out of five of her childreu have followed their father to the grave. All that remains of the once happy family are down sick. Tlie sympathy of the cutire community is taking practical shape in the form of substantial aid.-- We cannot hear of any other cases of Diphtheria In or u*ar town. The wife of Win. Still, Jr., about two miles east of town, died the past week of consumption. They had been married four years. One child is lett to moorn the toss of a kind mother. This week Stewart, tlie murderer, goes to Belvidero for trial. Let us hope justice will ttotngnin be defeated bv delay. Not long since Ralph Bust, otto mile southwest of town, received his pe». sion at $4 i>er mouth, the arrears amounting to $804. We mIso lenrti that Win. E.

Dwight. of Boot and Shoe fame, started to visit his mother aud family living in, or near. Cincinnati. He will probably return about the last of this week. The meeting to organize a military company was well attended. Speeches were made by Mayor Murphy. N. Donnelly and Capt. Nlsh. Over thirty names were enrolled, and many more since. We'd like to see a well drilled body of soldiers again, just to bring to mind old times, if uothing more. We have always thought that Ma­ rengo was a quite, moral ami religious town, but if the two correspondents it who occupy so much space in last week's Democrat are to lie, relied It must be a rather hard place. are not quite sure whether the lett explain the morals of tlie town or of the correspondents. Some writers like to ileal in one thing, and Somo another. "A man is known toy the company lie keep*," and nometimea it correspond­ ent's letters betray tlie kind of com­ pany he keeps. Real character is apt to make Itself known, often when sup­ posed to be entirely conoe.iled. We ofl.tr no advice for three reasons: first, because we have no ability iu that di­ rection; second, because it has not lieen asked; niul third, b.ecai}.s$jv$ fear It would be labor wa LATKtt.

The Supreme Court, howavcr, by a recent decision, has placed the matter beroiul controversy, Aud clearly defined the law governing contracts between, teachers and ilirt'otors, and (ias decided by au Untiuiiiious opinion, that any con­ tract, made by a board of school direct­ ors, previous to the annual election of directors, with a teacher, to teach a term of scltgg| to commeuoe alter that time.

EDITOO PLAIN DEALER:---We cannot find much in the shape ofIH»W* to write about this week, bpt will give you what little there is. Mr. Fairweather is quite sick at this writing, hut wa hope to see him around sgstn soon, Mr. Daleell, who died last week leaves a wife ardseven children to mourn his lose. Miss Chattie Husen has gone <^i a visit to Elgin, ' Mr, Porter, who has been prospect­ ing in the West, has, we learn bought a farm iu Kansas, where he wlU move with his family early in the Spring. from the opinion of the court '"Plaintift In error claims to have been employed by two school director** on tlie 10th day of December, 1875, to teach a district school f«r the term of nine months, cwmnenciug on the 3rd day of April, 1874; that he was ready, and o ftp red to teach the school but was pre rented front so doing by the school directors. • * • It doo9 not appear from the abstract thaj the plautm lu error proved or ottered to prove, that, when the coutract was made, or when the school was to have commenced, he had H certificate of qualifications, as a teacher, obtained uuder the provi«ions of the Statute. *** Unless, therefore, at the time the alleged contract was made, he had such a certificate--one under which he could fully perforin Ids part of the contract--that is, one en­ titling him to teach during tlie entire term, tlie contract would be a nullity.* Waiving tliia objection, we are of opinion the court property excluded he evidence offered of the written contract, because school directors have no power to make coutracts for the employment of teachers for terms to commence beyond the expiration of the curreut school year.** The opinion here quotes parts of the school law, relating to the powers of school directors, and then proceeds as follows: "It is here seen, power is given alone with teference to tlie curreut year.-- The schools to lie provided, the teach­ ers empioicd, the taxes levied, ctc. aire as clearly as language can express the Idea, for tlie current year. No other power, contemplating the making of contracts for the employment of teach­ ers for future year*, can be found, and the rule is familiar, that the powers of school directors are limited to those expressly granted, or sueh as result by nccsfary implication from those grant- ext. : ' V: • If tlie contract here slight to be e * forced were to necessarily lie because the board of di rectors are unlimited iu respect to con­ tracting for fut ure servioes of teachers. If they may contract for services to be eominenced four months In advance, and after the board, as organiyed, has ceased to exist, whv may they not do so indeflnatelyf If they are not, in this respect, limited by the current school year, where is thermit? • * There is, doubtless, no objfction to contracts for the teaching of terms for a reasonable time beyond the curreut school year, when such contracts are entered into In good faith, and not for the purpose, merely, of forcing upon the district an unsatisfactory teacher or defeating the will of the voters at the annual election. But we think the •pirit aud Intont of the law are clearly repugnant to tlie Idesi that one board of directors may, by contracts wholly to be carried ont in future, divest fu­ ture boards of directors of the power to select the teacher they eliall desire, for^the terms to continence after their organization.'* (Stevenson vs. School Directors 87 111.) By this decision it will be seen that teachers and directors must wait until the next annual election of directors in April, and the organization of the new board, belore making coutracts for the teaching of a term of school to coin* me nee after that time, aud that a tetuslr er at the time of makiug a contract to teach, must have a certificate gtfod for the whole term for which lie has con- ted to teach--that Is one that does not expire of its own limitation at any timo during the term which his con­ tract covers, otherwise their coutracts will be null aud void. Teachers aud directors by making their contracts In accordance with the above decision, Hill prevent mmdt trouble and litigation. Teachers will, thus ay^ld the danger of losing their wages for servicos rendered, and direc­ tors will escape personal liability for any loss to their districts, resulting from paying wages to teachers under Illegal contracts.
