An other year will happily and successfully wind op the business of the association Brownstown Graded' School. Ijf order to afford all pupils ample time and opportunity to obtain certifi cates of successful, vaccination, the School Trustees decided to continue the holiday vacation one week longer. The schoot will re-open next Monday, by which time it is hoped every pupil will not only bear, the mark of successful vaccination, but be in possession of physician's certificate verifying the fact. The' latter will be necessary to secure admission into school. Read Superintendent.

The name of Eomulus Rati iff, an over-the-river Democratic warrior, is officially announced in the Banner this week as a candidate for the office of Road Superintendent of tliis township. He proposes to make a lively race, and bring down the persimmon, if hie can. Jottings by the Wayside. Like an ignoramus, or an idiot, or the more common sort of regular dam-phool that you are, date your letters 1881; You are a fit subject for the fool- killer. Our live Seymour cousins are doing a good part by the Banner, which secures them not only happiness in this world, but largely increases their other? wise slim chances for never-ending bliss in the world to come.

Snow beautiful snow commenced to fall on Tuesday night, and continued to fall until last evening, covering the earth with a robe of white to the depth of about six inches. This morning is cool and cloudy, and we listen eagerly to- hear the merry jingle of the sleigh bells. Prof. J. L.

Lucas now knows what it is to be successfully vaccinated with bovine, virus at his age, and he regrets exceedingly that, it didn't take when applied in his juvenile days. His arm has been badly inflamed and very pain ful. The holidays passed by with more than ordinary peace, order and sobriety in town. But few plain drunks were visible, and those few were common chronics-, who are only duly sober when they can get nothing to drink. No boisterous demonstrations were indulg ed only one belligerent display was made that of New Year's eve, when Cyrua L.

Miller was stabbed by young Billy Winscott. The- holiday record, upon the whole, speaks credit ably for Brownstown. iT V- EDITED PUBLISHED BY v. WlLLIAiiyFRYSIXOEB. January 5 1882.

MATTERS. Stabbed In the Belly. About 10- o'clock on Saturday night, while the neaf approach of the new year 1882 was being celebrated with a discharge of Roman candles in front of Allen'3 Grocery, Cyrus L. Miller, "better ftnown by the euphonious sobri quet of "Babe Bohall," by which he has been called ever since a wee bit of a boy, was cut in the abdomen with a knife in the hands of young Billy Win-scott. Fortunately, the wound is not of- a dangerous character.

Winscott was arrested upon a State-warrant on a charge of assault, with Intent to kill, had a hearing before Justice Moore, who bound him over for appearance at Circuit Court. At the prelimi--nary examination Bohall swore that ran against the knife, but this statement does riot conform with assevj erations made by him previously, as we are informed. When the trial come8 off in court, it is hoped the facts in the case will be elicited anq justice ac- cordance therewith meteji, out. MethodistBeviTal. With the incoming of the new year on Sunday, Rev.

V. W. Tevls started a protracted' meeting, with a view to having an' old-fashioned Methodist revival. SQ far the meetings have been well attended and several additions have been made tS the church. Mr Tevis is a zealous worker and enthusi-: astic revivalist, and, if success crowns his efforts, the labor which necessarily devolves upon him in conducting the meetings will be a pleasurable task to him.

Iiet the brethren work and pray with him, we may have another such a revival as was conducted some "years- ago by the Young Men's Chris tian Association, when so many were turned from their evil ways and direct ed into the path of peace and right eousness. Treasurer Acfcer's Message. The first annual message of Treas- urer Acker appears in the glorious Ban-ner this week. It is devoted especially to the all-important subject of tax col lection, and as such is of vital interest to the people generally. With such an urbane and efficient Treasurer as Billy Acker is proving himself to be, lax-pay ing becomes almost a pleasure.

He has got a pleasant word and hospitable welcome for everybody, and the moment one sets his feet inside his office he feels at home. Peruse his message carefully, and then, at your earliest convenience, call around at his office and pay your taxes. Alarm of Fire. An alarm of fire at noorr last Friday brought out the Chief of the Fire De pastment and one High Private, who pulled out the hook and ladder carriage and with the aid of several volunteers rushed up Walnut street tor the resi dence of Dr. Wm.

H. Ireland, which was supposed to be in flames from the fact that the loft was filled with smoke, Investigation showed that one of the chimneys had taken fire, and that the smoke in the loft had escaped through crevices in the chimney, which was poorly constructed."
