The following spjcinl was sent to the Indianapolis Sentinal from Waynetown: The premature birth of a child in this county recently revealed a monstrosity iu the shape of a being that much resembled a frog. The eyes are 011 the top of the head, and the general appearance of the face and neck is strikingly thatof a frog. The ears are of a peculiar shape owing to the positiou of the head, and a fringe of dark hair passes just above the eyes aud back of the ears. In the place of the occipital bone there is a growth resembling the hood that usually accompanies a woman's water-proof cloak when it is thrown back over the shoulders. When the tiling is placed on its hands and knees its reseinblence to a frog in the act. of jumping is perfect. The mother had been greatly terrified at one time at the sudden appearance of a frog arid a snake iu her pathway.

The Court House clock stopped on all fool's day, and the people never realized its value until then. Some of the officers who kept time by it were lost, and their work seemed to be all mixed up. The cause of it stopping was the breaking of a wheel iu winding, as a new man tried to wind the ruuning weight and did it backwards. The clock was put up by Mat Kline eleven years ago and is a perfect time piece, the movements of the pendulum being so controlled by a ball, thai it will contract or expand in a correct proportion and make the running time always perfect and reliable. The time lias been faster than the standard time now iu use arid au important fact is that in fixing and setting it, they set it back four minutes, so if your watch lias been just with the Court House clock and is now four minutes faster, it is no fault of the watch as the clock is now standard time. There are many in the county who do not know the size of this mammoth time piece. The dial is 5 feet in diameter, the minute hand is 2 feet 7 inches long, The striking weight weighs 1200 pounds and the running weight 300 pounds. The pendulum rod is Wx/i foet long aud is composed of wood, while the pendulum ball weighs 100 pounds. The largest wheel in the works is 28 inches in diameter. The pendulum will work with a weight of 50 pouuds just as easy as with the 300 pounds and the extra weight is only to aid the ruuning should the dials be covered with snow and ice. The clock does not vary but a few seconds in a month, and Is as reliable as the best watch in the county. Kline & Graham the reliable jewelers keep it in repair and do their work as they do every thing, to the satisfaction of the people.

Everyone is payiug taxes.

The people who miss Prof. Coulter's lectures to the Sunday School normal class, on Monday evenings, are losing opportunities that probably will not be presented again.

The county board of education meets on the first day of May. All school officers should not fail to be present or have a substitute as there is business of importance to be transacted at that time. ii.'

We are glad to see so many teachers contributing to the educational column, and there is still room for more. We appeal to the teachers and trustees, to send in any item of interest to the schools of the county.

School history of Montgomery county is very difficult to obtain, an account of no records or where records can be found they are very defective. VVe suggest that persons whose memories extend back to the twenties and thirties give us a little light on the beginning of the schools in this county.

To parents we would say urge your school officers to inspect the school house and ground, as well as the well and out buildings. Be sure that there are no cess pools to breed bodily disease aud that the out building are white washed inside and out, so as to have every tiling in readiness for work next year.

We hope that all persons to be "transferred will examine the law on that point, as it will save an immense amount of dissatisfaction. Yon are not allowed to be transferred unless you are able to show good cause why you can be better accommodated. The law of transfer applies to children aud not to parents.

It is uo recommendation to a county superintende'it, for an applicant to give as a reason for wanting a license to teach, that ho only wants to teach oue year to get money enough to go higher toother professions, he slurs the proffession of teaching, whenever lie does so. The teacher's profession should be as high aud noble as any other.

Trustees should now be looking for tho progressive teacher. There never was a better time to avoid the teacher who gets no good out of the institutes, and only attends because he has to do so. The teacher who comes in contact with the best teachers of the county and state,

A parent will not trust his watch in the hands of a jeweler unless satisfied that l.o is master of his trade. So beware parents that you do not trust the brightest jewels of your life to a bungling or dishonest teacher, who has never .spent any time iu making special preparation for his work. The time has passed when any oue cau teach the primary. Time is too precious, and far too short to be lost in learning habits of idleness, or worse all on account of a teacher being unabio to keep the pupils properly employed, •»»$
