COUNTY JUDGE.

As VIII be seen By reference 10 the notices
in another colGmn. there are now two csndi-
dates in the field for County Judge, both run
ming independent Of party. Judge Strong, the
present incumbent, we believe has given gem
eral satisfaction in the discharge cf his official
duties. His residence away from the County
seat, where the records Of his Office are required
to be kept, IS one, perhaps tie greatest oolec-
tion urred against his reelection. The Law,
we believe. requires his Office 10 be kept at the
County Seat. and the resorGs 10 be accessible at
all times to those desiring 10 examine them, the
same as is the case with other County Officers.
Judge Strong has his Office in this place, but is
here himself only the first week IN each month.
This is the greatest objection We have heard
urged against the recollection Of Judge Strong.
Mr.. HUrcHIsoy, who is resident OF this place,
possesses every necessary qualification for a
good County Judge. BE has discharged the
duties of Clerk of the Circuit Court for many
wears 10 the satisfaction of all, and if elected
County Judge, will prove equally attentive to
his business, and faithful in the discharge ofthe
duties of his Office. We hope every man Will
vote in accordance with the dictates Of his
Judgment, without regard to political prefer
ence or local prejudice, and we viii be satisfied
with the result.

Gov. CEARy-This gentleman has resigned

But whatever may be thought or said Of my
motives or desires, ] have the proud conscious

FElGurFUL RAIL ROAD DIsAsTER.-A te-ribl .
disaster occurred on the Great Western Rail-
way. near Hamilton, (Canada) = few days since,
by which from 50 to 100 lives were lost. The
passenger train going West, ran off the track
lust before reaching the draw bridge over the
Canal, and planging with headlong force upon
the bridge, the whole structure gave way, pre-
cipitating the entire train into the water sixty
feet below. Such Of the passengers IS were
not instantly killed, were terribly mutilated.-
this is undoubtedly the most lrightful Railroad
disaster that ever occurred on the American
Continent It IS said the bridge was in a mis-
cradle condition, and that the fact was well
known to the officers OF the conpny. If 50,
they should be seyerly punished.

fast; consequently the teacher is behind time;
meantime the children have begun to assemble,
and to take shelter in the lee of the School
House, or fly to a neighboring house for protec-
lion from the storm. Is it any wonder these
scholars should be tardy in future. This sys-
tenn is an imposition on the teacher, and the
people of the district, and aught not to in my
opinion to be practiced. Let us deal with our
teachers as we do with the laborers on our

clerks in our stores; pay them good wages, fur
nish them good homes convenient to their bus
mess, and then have them " toe the mark or

hints, hits or kicks"
As to the grievances of your correspondents,
have nothing to say, only that these things
may all be So and then the truth is scarcely
half told and here let me urge upon School
Districts, the necessity of providing good COM
Portable School Houses and furnishing them
with the necessary fixtures and appurtenances
for the comfort and convenience of the pupils :;
and then providing them with the proper books,
etc, paying due attention to proper classified

Is the next thing TO be done If | was to an
swer this question in my own way, it would be
this: secure the services of competent well
qualified teacher; for this, l consider, one of
the principal moving powers in a good
School
As to the qualifications OF a teacher. permit
me to say, that l do not consider teacher COM
petent, merely because he, or she, has passed
muster " before a Town Superintendent. How
ever well learned he may be in the branches to
be taught in the School, if he has not the tact
and energy, he will make but little progress in
his vocation.
Take for example Teacher placed in a
School, of say from twelve to twenty scholars,
supplied with the necessary books for a proper
classification, and if he has not time to hear all
The recitations, Is it any wonder that the School
should freeze over; to me the reason is obvious
the head of the School is wanting in son ething,
and there Is sympathy between the head and
the other organs. | have a case to the point in
my minds eye, where the School stopped, and
started. and stopped again. for the want of wood,
when an arrangement was made to furnish fuel
