We regret to learn that the Governor
has been informed, by express, ofthe to-

when looking at that edifce, which wit

against despotism and oppression; and
where the elOquence of the immortal
Henry awoke spirit which has swept
away the power of Princes and Kings
from the New World, and in their stead
has given the rule of men, TO Reason,

Gus impression which appears to prevail, that
there will be no elections at the precincts, as
the Court has failed TO appoint Commission

Ialway VS. been opened with prayer, and closed with
singing hymn from the s. s. hymn book, with
which the school is furnished. The number al
tending the school has varied with almost every
Sabbath; the greatest number having been ninety
tpo, and the smallest seventeen, on very cold and
Indictment Sabbath last December. In the last
year. the scholars have been examined in twenty
EIGHT lessons in the question book, which have
sometimes, owing to their length, been divided
and making the exercise of every third Sabbath
a review of the two preceding lessons. These
lessons have generally been well committed, and
correct answers have frequently been given to
questions which would remain unanswered by
nne-tenths of christian community.
We would call particular attention to the fact,
that although the school is composed Of children
and teachers of different denominations, we are
happy to state that unanimity of feeling has, dur
ling the year, existed, and still exists, among both
teachers and scholars, which almost unprece-
dented. The conduct Of the scholars has gener-
ally been good In no instance has the superin-
tendent been compelled to dismiss scholar for
bad conduct, or any other cause; neither has any
scholar been treated in such manner by the SUI
lperntendent or teachers, as to render his or her
situation unpleasant to compel them to with
draw.
About one hour of the afternoon of the Sabbath
is devoted to the cultivation of sacred music, in
which the scholars have made considerable pro-
Efficiency.
The library consists (including question and
HYMN books, and Testa ments) of about $50 vol
umes; one hundred and fifty of which may be
considered as the library proper; which have now
been generally read by the scholars, and are of a
character calculated interest and enlighten the
minds of the rising generation: indeed, many of
them may be read with profit by those of ripper
years.
To say we were pleased with the examination
Of the affairs of the school, and the proficiency of
the scholars, would not adequately convey our
ideas. 1t afforded high and heartfelt gratiica-
ton, calculated to excite all the finer feelings Of
human nature; and we can hardly conceive Of
1preudices so obdurate that would not have melted
away under the general influence of this display
lof mental improvement, affectionate confidence,
and reciprocity of kindness towards each other,
which seems to pervade throughout the whole
school in all its connexions.
| From what we have observed in the course Of
this examination, without entering into any argu-
ment detail, we are irresistably led to the
clusion, that a generation reared up under the
fostering care of Sabbath school associations
cannot fail to make wiser, happier, and in
every respect better and more useful people,
All of which is respectfully submitted.

VANDAJ,IA:
Wednesday, April 10, 1892

The editor of the Springfield Herald says have
either misunderstood, designedly misrepresented his
remarks in relation to Mr. Png's visit to New York
We glad there is alternative to this allegation
cerainly should regret giving soon to any
ofthe "Corps editoria' to charge directly with de-
signedly misrepresentng their Statements unlike
men we have heard of would be thought La
BILE to misunderstood, than capable Of wifully mcon
strung
The Herald does not inform in what particular he
thinks himself misrepreseDted misunderstood we
must therefore wait for further information before
planning, unless he will be satisfied with the general
assertion part that we believe nothing is to be
gained by Misrepresentation, and that are far from
resorlng to SO base to effect proposed end.
We understood the Herald to say, directly indeed,
but by fair implication that he thought Mr. P assum-
ing unauthorized authority in going to N. York, and
submitting certain propositions to gentlemen there
pectng rail road in Illinois, and understanding him,
we responded to his remarks, thinking they came in
quite questionable shape" B ut the Herald no,o
says that, to Mr. P's visit he did not obect but to h
pompous display of authority not vested in him." WE'LL
that being all, we have more to say: if brother
editor wishes to read Mr.. p lesson or two from my
Lord Chesterfield, have objection and will not
again put ourselves in the way.
Immediately upon the heels of this exposition of the
bone Of contention between himself and Mr.. P, the
Herald very gravey asks (by way of dropping the
subject suppose) to inform him where the power ex-
lists for sending agent N Y to negotiate for the
construction of rail way! Why ask where the pow
e for making such appointment is ound if the per-
son supposed to be acting under it is all the time pom
pousy displaying authority not oested IN him. Really
we can scarcely believe the question sober one But
almost in the same BREATH met with another if
possible, of graver import, it is that will estate
where Mr. p got the authority for using $500 of the ca
nal fund to qnidate his travelling expenses &c. Be-
fore answering this inquiry, will just ask the Herald
to state, where he got the authority for saying that $500
of the canal fund had been used for the purpose aegc
We need some more confirmation of that fact. than

of their investigation:
Fr1Ei the reports submitted by the Supernten-

are derived: That during the last year, the school
has been continued forty seven Sabbaths, there
having been suspension of five Sabbaths, at
different intervals, owing to sickness and other
causes. During the year, l25 scholars have been
received into the school; out of which thirteen
classes have been formed, nine of which were
