To the Editor of the Constantine Republican:
Sir-I observe in your paper Of this week, a

man, denying any connection or identity with the
Farmers and Merchants Bank at this place. As
one, never knew any person of that name to be

or but director, and signed the certificate of or
ganization and took the Directors oath and be-
came thus situated at the same time myself and

Subsequent events may make many repent hav'
ing any identity with the same nevertheless, tho
above facts arc undeniably true.

ting important principles and suggestions con.
nected with the management and instruction OF

facts and information as will nterest all who feel
any concern in the subject of popular education.
The committee have great pleasure in announ-
cling that they have engaged editor of the pro-
posed Journal the Superintendent of Public In
struction, Mr.. JOHN ID. PIERCE. To literary quail.
ifications Of high order, Mr.. Pierce unitcs the
advantage Of former experience as practical
teacher and of minute and extensive acquaintance
with the condition and wants of every portion OF
the state. Under such auspices, the committee
T cannot doubt that the publication will be valua
bio auxiliary in the cause of education, and they
appeal with equal earnestness and confidence t.
their fellow citizens to encourage and sustain the
enterprise.
