Lcmc ofTawa Commiu. “By AM Davenport— Resolved, That the tract of land for which Mr. M. H. Ward has made ap plication to lease, be leased for the term of fifteen years to the highest and best bidder, on the customary conditions, and the farther condition that in the event the City makes com* promise with its creditors by dispos ing of the Commons, the said lease sha)l expire at the date of compromise unless the parties obtaining this land under said compromise agree with the lessee, and the committee on Town Commons ere hereby authorized to carry the above resolution into effect and the Mayor and Clerk to execute said lease. Which was adopted.” t We publish the above resolution from the last issue of the Appeal, the official organ of our city, in order to place our City Fathers in a proper light before the public. Read all the Proceedings of Council next time, Brother, before you shoot, and thus save your powder. We clip the following from on ex change, and would urge every parent to read it wiih care. We know of nothing so well calculated to assist in the education of u child as a good newspaper, suited to its wants. Par ents are too careless on this point. They either furnish their children with trash—-“dime novels,” etc., or else with nothing at all, and then won der why Johnnie don't love his books, or Willie wont stay at home. The idea is this: create in yonr children a de sire for reading, by famishing them with proper matter, and they soon ac quire a habit of reading, that will do as much for their mental training as as anything else. “Give Youb Child a Paper.—A child beginning to read becomes de lighted with a newspaper, because he rends of names and things which are familiar, and he will progress accord ingly. A newspaper in one year is worth a quarter’s schooling to any child. Every father must consider that information is connected with ad vancement. The mother of a family, being one of its heads, and having a more immediate charge of the chil dren, Bhonld herself be instructed. A mind occupied becomes fortified against the ills of life and is braced by emergency. Children amused by reading or study are of course more considerate and easily governed. How many thoughtless young men have spent their earnings in a tavern or grog shop, who ought to have been reading. How many parents who have not spent twenty dollors for books for their families, would have given thou- sands, to reclaim a bun or daughter, who had ignorantly, thoughtlessly, fallen into temptation. Atlanta ia very much afflicted—only nineteen names mentioned iu connec tion with the Mayoralty. The per quisites there must be better than with us. 80 liar, we hear of no name defi nitely.
