Shen,s Book Excepting.

This is q simple and beautiful system OF
Book Keeping, by single and double entry. ar
ranged according to the present practice of
well regulated Counting. Houses in the Uni
ted States. This treatise also comprises forms
of Receipts, Drafts, Bills OF Parcels, Accounts
Current, and such accounts as usually occur
in actual business. Its calculations will prove
useful to many. though We cannot say they
are the very best. They can, as gener raj
thing be much sitnpificd, or at least much
shortened. The Bookkeeping, proper, we
think superior to anything Of the kind we
have ever seen. We have taught several diff
ferent systems Of bookkeeping BY both sin
gle and double entry, but il VIC are not quite
mistaken, Mr.. SHEA's system is, everything
considered, superior to any, or all Of them
combined In this opinion we may be mista-
ken, rs our examination Of the work has not
been very thorough though We have looked
il over with some care. We think il an ex-
cellent work for schools. Every boy, if not
every girl Of our land, should be well drilled
in this, or a treatise Of the same kind No
father should suffer his son to grow up igno-
rant Of some approved system Of book-kcep-
ing. No teacher is qualified to teach any
school in our land, who is not "posted" on
this subject. We trust our Board Of Educa-
ton will not suffer this important branch Of
education TO be neglected in the Fremont
Schools.

Mrs. ThaYer's Lecture.

We had the pleasure Of listening to this
true and earnest advocate of temperance on
Sunday last. She is from Chicago. we un-
dcrstand. and comes to us on noble and wor-
thy mission. Truly moral suasion is the true
lever by which to overturn the unholy and
accursed liquor traffic. We were very much
pleased with the spirit manifested by the
speaker. and think the friends Of temperance
will everywhere give her welcome reception.
May the advocates of the cause be increased
a thousand fold through her ins,rumentality.
We believe the zeal of no true friend Of the
cause vii! abate, because the friends Of pro-
hibitory Law were defeated. Opposition should
but stimulate us IN more rntiring and earnest
efforts until We are finally crowned by victory;
il not by "Mains Law" BY the irresistible
power Of "moral suasion."

Our Schools.

Our schools commence in a few days will
full and able corps Of teachers. as we have
learned from one Of the members Of the
Board Of Education Some Of the teachers
we know to be well qualified in their noble
profession. The new Union School House is
nearly completed, and will soon be filled to
overfowing with pupils, willing and anxious
to acquire knowledge.
What pity our schools should commence
without an able and efficient Superintendent
No Union School can be long prosperous with
out such head The experiment has been
often tried. but has in every instance proved
a perfect failure.
What is the reason that Fremont must be
behind all our neighboring towns in school
matters. when she is going ahead Of them IN
almost every thing else? We can see no
earthly reason for it. We could name, al
least score of towns in Ohio, each contain
ing not more than one half the number oi
inhabitants for Fremont that employ Super
iutendents Of their respective schools, at snla-
ries varying from $500 to 500. Cannot
Fremont employ one at any price!
Norwalk has male Academy. two female
Seminaries, and Union School, with com
petent Superintendent at its head. ct salary
Of $500 per year. Monroevle and Bellevue
Union Schools employ qualified Superintend-
ents at $3.50 each. Tifin has college. and
a Union School which employs Superinten'
dent at salary Of $500 PEI year. Repub'
lie has fourshing Union School with Su'
perintendeni, at a salary of 5000 per year
Perrysburgh and Maumee City have excel
lent Union Schools with efficient Superitend-
ents. at liberal and competent salaries. Will
Fsement, which is destined to be place Of
far greater wealth and importance than any
of the towns We have mentioned. be content
with schools so much inferior to theirs?
We know that every intelligent citizen Of
our rapidly growing town. will bear us out in
saying. that our present system Of schools is
quarter of century behind the town. We
would be understood on this subject: Our
schools are good so far as :hey gO--our Board
OF education are efficient in doing all within
their powsr--our teachers are qualified for
the stations they assums-but 10 be up with
this progressive age We need schools of high
or grade. More on this subject anon.

We have no reliable election news Of gen
eral interest, since our last issue, except that
locofocoism reigns triumphantly.
Whiskey and Locofocoism have swept down
tramped over and almost annihated every
thing that has offered them the least resist
ance. Honest and intelligent men Of all par
ties, have been literally sVallowed up in tho
whirlpool of corruption and sin Democracy
and patriotism have been imolated at the un.
holy shrine Of denligogism. which for vicious
ness and charlntanry, has no parallel in the
annals of politics.
but amid the gloom and darkness that hang
over our land, we see many sings of bright.
er day for our country and bleeding humani-
ty. There are thousands of good men who
have given their influence to sustain corrupt
political organization. who will do so no more
Brainless and heartless politicians have Whip-
ped the people to the work of destroying their
own interests, for the last time, il we do not
much mistake the signs of the times.

CORN 4 HOGS!

1t has been asccrtained by careful and ac-
curutc experiments, that one bdshcl Of ordi-
nary corn will maky l5lb Of pork; and that
30 bushels Of corn will make SIl ,25 worth OF
pork, at % cts. per ID; and that the farmer
gets l23cts. for his labor of feed ng per BUSH
el, over selling at 25cts. per bushel.
Another important fact to farmers is, TINT
hogs will falten faster in September and Oc-
tober. than they will in colder weather; and
do best in large fields with plenty Of water
Experienced farmers say, it is more profit
able ot raise pork at $3.50 per lo0lbs, than
to sell corn at 25cts. per bushel. BY feeding
his corn to good hogs. he can realize from
81! TO 4octs per bushel, for his corn.
