The teachers of Iowa county met at
Mineral Point on the 4th Of May and
|fornied an Association for mental improve
n1ent and for adopting uniformity in meth
Cd ofteaching. We have read the pro-
Icaedngs in the Mineral Point Tribune
and are almost tempted to publish them
for the benefit of eacllers. If our teachers
would agree to meet in Ike manner soon,
we'd publish the Iowa County Teaches
transactions for their benefit J. L. Pick.
ard and other noted leaders in the Profes-
sion attended the Association. By an old
rule Of the State uperintendent, the time
| of teachers is lost to districts and at the ex-
Ipense OF districts while attending the cour-
lty Association. We do not remember
that The rule has been changed.

THE great popularity which MOFFAT'S LIFE

in consequence of the extraordinary cures effected
by their renders it unnecessary for the proprie
tor to enter into particular analysis of their medic
nal virtues properties, and having TIE united tes
timony of more than THREE MILLION Of persons
who have been restored to the enjoyment of perfect
health by them, it is believed that their reputation
as the best vegetable medicine now before the pub

ready to testify to their efficacy in removing disease
and giving to the whole system renewed vigor and

In cases of Serofula, Ulcers, Sc,srry Efuptioas

astonishing, often removing in a few days every
vestage Of those loathsome diseases, by their pur
