IRoN SmIrs IN ENGLAND-Iron ships, like most
maritime improvements, originated in tho mer-
chant service. About the year 1900 iron barges
existed on tho Paddington canal much in the
form of very long square tarks, and little boy
walking with cynical sectnrian Scottish guardian
was severely reprovcd for likcning them to Eli
sha's miracle of causing iron to swim. Some Of
the earliest sea-going vessels ofiron were built on
the Clyde, and if not very like whale, they were
certainly very like kettles intended to boil whale
in. In fact the earliest vessels were made by boil
er-makers. and all that they appeared to aim at
was to make vessels that would keep out water
with the greatest possible amount Of displacement
in the most convenient form for rveting together
together with regard to movement. They wero
mere shells, without ribs or framing and though
very sale as regarded water pressure, utterly
without strength if they struck an obstacle. They
were cheaper than wooden vessels, and carried
more bulk and weight in proportion to their dis
placement. About foot in thickness was added
to the cubic capacity of tho hold over sides and
bottom. OF the unseaworthiness of this kind of
craft an example was given in the Tayeur, which,
on her first voyage, struck en- a rock on the Irish
coast and went down instantaneouslv in deep wa
ter with every soul on board. Again, the possi-
bility Of making them sufficiently strong was de-
monstrated in the case of the Great Britain which
lay for four months on the rocks Of Dundrum Bay
exposed to the whole thrash of the Atlantic, and
was got of o sorviceable vessel at last.

The SPIRIT LAKE ExcITEMENT.-We learn
FROM our tov nsman, Judge A. A. Kellogg, who
has just returned from Spirit Lake, that great
excitement is prevailing at that place, arising
from fear of Indians, numbers OF whom are re.
ported to be lurking in that vicinity. The facts,
az we learn them, are as follows:
During the latter part of February, two In
dams and halt-hreed, with their squaws and
papp0oses. came into the settlement represent
ing that they belonged to band OF ninety In :
dams under the command Of Col. -, who
| we're marching against Inkpadutah, and that
they were sent out to procure cattle for the
Company, from the settlers. They had green
hide along with them which they had taken
short time before, from an OK obtained at
Dutch settlement few miles above Spirit Lake.
OF course their statements were discredted !;
yet they caused considerable uneasiness among
the settlers, and the two Indians were taken
into custody. They were afterwards sent to F.
Dodge, under an escort of soldiers, but succeed
ed in making their escape before they reached
that place. They were both recognized, as be-
longing to the party of Indians who we're
engaged 10 the massacre Of 1857, by two
citizens OF Spirit Lake, who were residents of
Springfield at the time Of that occurrence.
few days afterwards, company Of four.
teen Indians was discovered, encamped on the
Little Sioux, taken prisoners, and conducted to
Spirit Lake by company OF soldiers, and were
on trial for being engaged in the massacre Of
81, when Judge H. lett, ON the Goth ult. One
OF the band was recognized as the brother,in-
law Of Inkpadutah.
Several trappers, coming into the settlement,
report that a band of 100 to 1850 Indians are
lurking about Heron Lake, 20 miles north vest
Of Spirit Lake, and preparations were being
made to send out a party Of scouts to recon-
noitre. Great alarm existed at the Lake, and
sentinels we're stationed around and q strict
watch wss kept up night aud day. One family
that had lived on the frontier for Q long time,
left the settlement. thinking the danger too
threatening Jasper Free Press. March IL.

BURLINGTON, March Is, so.
Mr. Danham II am pleased TO see by your
Lara that you have determined to make an ef-
. Or, 4 the improvement Of our Public Schools.
Ism aware that our public schools are not
perfect aid not what they should be. But per-
ips, Mr. Editor, they are better than you i'm
sgne. Like most of the citizens of Burling
ton you have net, to my recollection, visited
the schools, ana do not know as much about
them, nor afford as much encouragement to
them, as you might w occasionally looking in
We of the South Burlington School House
are doing the best We can, and think that you
will find ours not inferior to some OF the private
Schools
Nil you come and see!
Respectfully T. B. GRAY.
We thank Mr.. Gray for reminding Us that We,
lcommon with the mass Of our citizens, have
.sglec,ed an obvious duty in failing to visit the
shoots. Frequent visits to the school rooms,
by parents and others interested in the cause
VI education, as who is not, does much to en-
courage and stimulate both teachers and schol-
srA. 1t is neglected shamefully here.
M. Gr.ay's note affords US an opportunity Of
saying that in our remarks in regard to schools
We intended 70 cast no censure upon our teach
srs individually. 1t was not and is not our de-
tgn TO discuss Through our paper the merits
Ed dement's OF the several teachers. This is a
natter for school directors and parents to look
alter. And We do not wish to be understood
y saying that the schools are this year mate
rally different from last year and the year be-
lore Neither do We wish to be understood as
tondemning the teachers indiscriminstely in .
body. Some are undoubtedly good, some mid.
ding and some Indifferent. The large atten-
dance (22o) a, the South School House, is much
Ii favor Of Mr.. Gray and the lady teachers en-
poYed there. AT the North School House there
Vas an attendance of $50, making a total ave-
Hase attendance Of 400.
We think we have made what We intended to
say clear enough to be generally understood.
70 have good public schools we must have
The unied effort and approval of all our citi-
lens, wit the continuous attendance Of oil the
children.
To have 70 cd teachers we must employ them

We mus. give IL schools more attention, e.
s'ate them to high es position and appreciate
'aelr real Importance.
They should be open INC fear ound, with the
