Three failures wihin the short period of 814 years ought to satisfy any one of his incapacity for the publishership of a newspaper, but this Kimsey is such an incorrigible blockhead that he “can’t see it” as long as he is able to filch a few pennies from a confiding and unsuspecting public, : L i el s BAD BEREAVEMENT.—Mr. Sylvester Abrams, a crippled soldier, had. all his ‘property—including, about 700 bushels ot wheat, horse, &c.—destroyed by fire, on the fifth inst.

A;- B , The appointment of Rev. Mr. Clayton was anpounced previously to be at 214 . ~ and by special request, as sextan of the Church, I rang the bell at 2 o'clock and again a half hour later, the time of beginning. At 31¢ r. M. an appointment had been previously made for the .singers of the Sunday School to assemble, preparatory to the concert in the evening, but in order to give ample time for the meeting, it was postponed until four, |

_ Three orifq,pr “minutes after that-time, being in the vestibule, in accordance with my duty, I rang the bell, *in arder that the singers might asscrsble as soon as possible after meeting closed. I wish to add further that I not only did not intend to insult the audience B§, sembled, but that ‘I was acting” tpon'n time-worn custom, the propriety of which must be patent to all, toring the beil at the time fixed, and that such an occurrence happens almost every Sunday during the exercises of the Sunday-Sechool.-I must regret that, through misunderstanding, some baye taken offensc atimyaction, to give which lam sure I hadinot the slightest intent.

OUR readers are doubtless a’gvare that we take delight in occasionally referring to the extraordinary spelling and peculiar sayings of that remarkably brilliant writer—J. W. Baker, publisher of the Whitley county Commercial, We are pleased to observe that our friend across the country takes our innocent squibs so good-na-turedly as to be constrained to pay us the following handsome compliment : Notwithstanding the editor of that rebel sheet (the Ligonier Banner) goes for us occasionally, we must say that his paper is one of the neatest printed jonrnals on our exchange list. : i In a subsequent issue, bearing date August 11th, the Commgreial is still more profuse in bestowing its ‘compliments. upon us. We were strongly tempted to reproduce them in our columns; 'but modesty positively denied us the pleasure.— In the meantime, we beg to assure friend Baker that we remain as ever an ardent admirer of his matchless journalistic skill and “orrigional” and gifted mind. A The Ligonier Republican, it 18 reported, has suspended for want of, adequate pecuniary support. - We are sorry for Kimsey, but the plain truth of the matter is, there has been too many newspapers published in_Noble county to make it reasonable to cxpect a support.—Lagrange Standard. : : The Standard might have added “lack of honor in the publisher,” for we believe the want of honor with Kimsey has had as much to do with the going under of the Ligonicr Republican as all else combined. ' : ; We clip the above from the Steuben Republican, the senior publisher of which was once a partner of Kimsey, and consequently had ample opportunity to convince himself of the latter's “lack of honor Bimilar testimonials are freely given wherever the “defunct” is known. |,

Our venerable friend, James McCon: nell, esq., lightly takes us to task for neg: lecting to notice the interesting event which recently placed Dr. Denny in possession of seven beautiful pups of the setter specics. ' Jeems says that the Dr., a foew years ago, was a candidate for legislative honors, and claim®that his defeat is attributable solely te the lack of several pups, the distribution of which would doubtless ' have secured him' the requisite number of votes. If Mac's opinion be correct, we respectfully but earnestly urge our medical friend to further the product tion of this invaluable material as it may -be the means- of overccoming thd republican majority in this county.

IN 'explanation of a ‘communication that recently appeared in this paper, containing an appropriate eulogy of the demise of the Ligonier Republican, we deem it necessary to state tbe term “senior editor” was not intended for Mr. Kimsey, but another individual—the explorer of a 'region consecrated exclusively to the dead. . fosed "’BQuirE BrrsE has removed his office into Back's building, tlie room formerly occupied by Best Knisely. .

- . Sehools for Colored Children. The: figowmg is the opinion of the Altorney Geperal in regard to the m:pmding for the education of colored ehildrep:- i o = e ATTORNEY GENBRAL'S OFFIOR, } Ixpraxaroris, July 26, ’69. B. C. Hobbs, Esq.; Superintendent of Public Instruction : ‘ ; Dear Sin:—l am in receipt of your note eneclosing that of Mr. Elder, on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the city of Indianapolis, asking my opinion on certain questions erising under the act pro;iding for the education of ocolored, ohilren. K

The point presented is whether colored children can be included in the enumeratlon of the vhildren of the respective :school districts, townships, towns and cit~ .ies of this State for school purposes for the present school tczm. or wliq;g:?heit organization intc suth schools must be postponéd for the present, or unmtil their proportion of the tax can be assessed and collected. : : The act to render taxation for common school purposes uniform, and to provide for ithe. eduveation of the cvlored children of the State, became a law on the 13th day of May, 1869, which provides that all children of the proper age, without regard to color; shall hereafter be inoluded in the onumeration of the children of the respective districts. . The law further provides that all laws relating to school matters not inconsistent with its provisions shail be deemed applioable to colored schools.. - It then becomes the duty of the respective school districts o include colored children, in separate lists, in the enumeration taken between July and September 1869. - 8o far ag the question 'frqaen-ts itgelf in a 8 lggal{i&zm; it is but the commen ocourrenoe of’ new scholars entering the schools’ each year. And the finangial question must adapt itself to the enumeration of the actual number of children legally entitlad to enter the school. i B

| To illustrate : Suppose the apportion_ment_of the school remains as made upon actual enumeration, and afterwards from immigration into & particular district, the 3u‘mb_er'of scholars or pupils legally en/titled to enter the schools is enhanced.— ‘Are they to be exoluded from the school for the year because the apportionment is based upon an enumeration that does not represent the aotual case? : . I+ am, therefore, of the opinion that un.der the aot, of Msy 13th, 1869, colored -children are entitled to be organized into separate schools having ‘all the rights and privi}eglea of .other schools in the township. . lam, respeotfully,wyours, | v D.E.
