To lhe Editor of the News: Now that there is s > much sadd in the papers about our school bus:- ness, I want a few inches o i spa*ce to tell the other side of the story, There beem? to be a considerable feeling against Mr. Lay, Mr. Sor :h and Mr. Bierce, fo«' no c i k r retail than being public spirited in fin th cy wish to gel a cheaper uwch < ; a »id thereby reduce taxation. 0 ur uses are already too high and they must -be lowered or the country will be bankrupt. There are plenty of teachers Who would be glad to la. ke charge of the school for less th an $1,200 a year. It is an outrage to pay s*ach prices when teacSiers can be hired for about one-ha’f Lhe price that Prof, Fuller holds Bib services worth, and that being the case I shall vote against him or a»ny one that supports such extravagance at the election next Wednesday;, b e sides we want a change, he has bad it long enough; give somebody e-!se a chance. I do not claim, that he is a bad teacher or that he has ciot done well enough so far, but it us a dangerous precedent to keep a roan in office so long. Mr. Bierce, Mr. Lay and Mr. Smith ought to imow and do know he is not wanted any longer, so let all good iemccaats come forward and vote down these high priced teachers aud reduce the taxation under which we are all struggling and which can only? be done by a full vote and a fell count.

The village oi Castile and East Gainesville, Wyoming county, were thrown into the greatest excitement last evening by the report which was rapidly passed from mouth to mouth, that a bold abduction or elopement had been successfully consummated. In the little village of East Gainesville dwells a gentle man named Smith, his occupation beinr'thatof proprietor ana driver of the omnibus which plies between the depots of the Erie and Slate Line Railways, Mr. Smith has two daughters, Mary und Lizzie, and both aie accredited with possessing more than the ordinary allowance of beauty and persona! charms. Mary has arrived at womanhood, while the sweet and petite Lizzie Ins had but fourteen years ol sun shine upon her be.'.d.

Our worthy trustees have nuade for themselves a good record this year. They have improved our streets and walks, and kept them in better order than ever before. If they had expended a few ¡hundred more and made the sewers; larger, it would have been better, ¡bet talcing the whole work together, they des:erve united thanks of the whole popula tion, and while we render Justice to them we must not forget their able and efficient captain, R, IT. Thom p son, who has executed to the letter their orders with military precision, We learn that they intend immedi ately to smooth down the umeven portions of Main street, m aking that worst of all streets, as pleasant to drive over as the avenue. i uiub’e aç.-e^i ’ o tli* 1 r •.Mg'- in It was ir: \vi on t l .

Subscribe for the D aily N ews . 7 o the Editor of the JVeitir: In reading the ca>mnounication from Agitator in your issue of the 6th inst., it occurred H) me that it would be well to mfotan trie patrons of the Union School of a circum stance that came undesr nay observa tion a short time since. An ac quaintance of mine was informed by a party who is in the r ing for sup plying our school withi books, that a member of the boi-rd had told him that Mr. Fuller onust go, and suggested to him that he apply for Mr. Fuller’s position. H e did so, and was told that there had already been some fifty applications made, and at their next meeting; his appli- ( ation would be acted on, and as his qualifications were very satisfac tory, no doubt but rhat the board would be glad to avail itself of his services at $ 1,200 a -y*ear. (H e will take $600 a year if he can get it.) »This applicant I ktnow personally, and I also know that he lives in a city where there are twenty public schools, and I also ¡know that he has made several applications for a position there, but he ha.s never ob tained one. Why? beca-use he was not a fit person to take su ch a charge. Now I have no doubt but what every one of the applicants for the posi tion are just the same kind of men. Men who at home where they are known, can get no position for which they are not qualified. If this man should get the position, my children and quite a number of others will leave the school.
