In ji eirctifar fecentlv Issued from the office of the! State Board~of Health, addressed to County Superintendents, school boards and ^'teachers, attention is called to the fact that the school vaccination order, promulgated in De­ cember, 1881, Is permanent and con­ tinuous. At the beginning of the school year teachers must satisfy themselves of the vaccinal status of each of their scholars. This will be done in the case of scholars who were in attendance during the last term by an examination of tlie vaccinal record required to be kept by the teachers, or by an examination of the scholars' cer- tifiliates. Scholars, whose records are imperfeot, as well as all new pupils, must present to the teacher certificates of proper vaccinal protection, or cer­ tificates that they, are protected by previous attaoks of small pox or vario­ loid, or that they are insusceptible to vaccination, or that their physical con­ dition is such that it Is imprudent to vaccinate them at the present time; The Board says of the good e fleets wrought by that order that there have been probably two million persons vac­ cinated in thej»t&te of Illinois within the past eighteen months, and precise­ ly in any given community is the assurance of freedom from interrup­ tion of the public sohools, and im­ munity from danger of outbreaks of small pox during the ooming winter. Wherever a community includes a con­ siderable number of unprotected per­ sons, there is not merely a liability, but an an almost absolute certainty of trouble during the approaching cold weather, since the infection w'll? inev­ itably And its way Into the State again from other infected localities during the winter.

Kid gloves, button and loop lace, iu black colors aud &U tints at Perry A liartiul. Cal Lincoln, the young man who broke open baggage at the Nunda de­ pot Koine mojiiha #rgo, wm wntenrao last week by Judge Kellum to 4 years at Joliet. There are some matters in connection with tills case, and the rea­ son of the long sentence wliloh we may speak of In some future communication. J. E. Nethercut. editor of the Rich­ mond Gazette. came sixteen miles to attend the Methodist churoh In thli^ city last Sabbath evening. It must be that Mr. N. t« partial to our Methodist; minister; and then the ride home after, servtbe must be extremely delightful-- especially when accompanied by one's best young lady. The Democrat of last Saturday says that "through the neglect of the secre­ tary of the State convention we are un­ able as yet to furnish the State Demo­ cratic ticket in full." It Is our humble opinion that it will cut but very little figure whether it is ever published in this "neck of woods," as very little use is ever ptade of the same at an election in this County. Save your space, John, for something more useful if not quite as ornamental. We understand that the suit of fMa* brow vs. Dijjrbrow which a great marty of the people of tills and adjoining counties have perhaps notioed as being mentioned in the papers upon more than 'one occasion--and as far back as the .oldest Inhabitant oan remember--iif at last settled for all time. The different courts In the oir- cuit will be lonesome places from henceforth, and the lawyers are already sad and wear a dejected appearanoe on their faces, It does us proud to be taken notice of by tbe brand span new correspond­ ent from this city to the Richmond Gazette. And'yet we are not alone in observing the fact that the scribe In question is far from being of that freshness in the business he would make one believe. And If a oer tain portion of said matter had been left out of the correspondence we should never have,even mistrusted who was the writer thereof. ,But when the editor of the PLAINDKALKR was attack­ ed because he simply saw in Lieut. George Eckert an officer who Was well drilled, and who thoroughly understood his business in drilling the squad of Co. G upon the fair grounds one day dur­ ing the recent fair, others besides our­ selves thought it an easy matter to locate the party that Is ready and rather anxious for battle should the tail of his coat be trod upon. So put­ ting this and that together the conclu­ sion is reached that the sprightly cor- respondence in the Gazette from Wood- stock last week emanated from the faber driven by no less a personage tjtan "His most royal Highness, tiie commander of all the troops in Wood­ stock, and ex-pedagogue and shyster at law," whom it is evident cannot see good things in tbe soldierly qualities, bearing and experience of those who were unfortunate enough to hafe borne their share of the "heat and burden of the day when it tried wen's SOM1»w to tie a suldler, .Now iu tiw e»iioiatlau of our would-be verdaut writer of the Gnzette, those men who are "ftue men and were good soldiers In their time, who inarched countless miles Iu the bunting sun aud drenching rain, wlio was put'up a* a target upon the field of battle, who suffered all the privation* subject to a soldiers lite in time of war.
