Reed writes us from Riverside, California, among other things saying that their burg is just finishing np a job of picking and shipping between 500 and 600 car loads of Christino oranges. They are-mostly sold on eastern orders, f.o.b. here at high prices, and are pretty but not yet sweet. So yon see it is not our fault if yon buy sour oranges. They are really not ripe till February to April. We expect to ship about 7,000 cars of oranges from this point this season, if the frost don't catch us. Mr. Reed adds that they are all quite well It is very evident that something must be done with unruly boys at school, a little different from what is now the customary way. A boy was unruly at Lehigh. Iowa, the other day, and impu dently refused to change his seat, and when the teacher attempted to take him ont of his seat, the boy drew a large pocket-knife and attacked the teacher stabbing him in three places. The teacher, O'Malley, is a well-known Iowa educator, and may not recover from the injuries inflicted. It will hardly do to let unruly school children dictate to the teacher, and with some of them who are here and there yet in authority, it would not be healthy for the ordinary school disturbing tough to draw a knife with intent of mischief. Public opinion is hardly in favor of invoking the aid of the police in ordinary cases of discipline, and the superintendent very strenuously and rightly objects to being made a whipping-post for teachers that fail to govern in their own jurisdiction. So there you are, and it is much the same question in Columbus, or any other place as it is at Lehigh, with the poaBJbOitiea juatthe - Yoi - IT If you are going to remember Air Rifles, Skates and Pocket Knives.

Carl Roella was then elected delegate to the convention and John L. Pittman alter nate. The following committee was then appointed to audit the treasurer's and secretary's books and report at the next regular meeting: Chris Schmitz, John McDonald, John Hinkleman. One of Israel Gluck'a numerous debtors sold the equity he had in his land the other day to a Columbus banker, leaving quite a mortgage on it. running yet for five years, at 8 per cent per annum. The banker went to Mr. Gluck, wishing to cancel the mortgage, saying that he was constitutionally opposed to letting a mortgage run on a place of his, but Mr. Gluck didn't see any good way ont of it except for the banker to give Mr. Gluck bis individual note for the amount, at the given rate for the given time the investment was such that he was a little afraid of it once, bnt now it is all right By the way, we hear of a man very readily snapping up an offer of Mr. Glnck to accept a bonus of $50 to receive payment of a loan not yet due for some years. This is quite a reversal of the old order of things. CaH ef Thanks.
