/, fsl. by every teacher. Yet, believe
th.. in many, if not all schools mne"
more might be done, than at present -
To illustrate, l will say let the teacher

ples he can most easily explain, and then
could he take an hour on some proper

same may b said Of other branches Of

There 10 one point I cannot pass over
unnoticed without leaving this report i'm
perfect. It is this: that such a course
affords such an excellent opportunity fol
moral and religious instructions. How
easily may the teacher 10 opening to The
view of the child the mysteries and beau

and thereby inspire in him feeling o
reverence, so that what ever he see
wonderful or mysterious 10 nature, he vii
refer it all to God, aud see in him fresl

What teacher in thinking Of this doe

A REVIEW

Of the political campaign, through which
We have just passed, may be instructive,
- it has been one of very unusual
character. We have had to meet all kinds
Of opposition, from friend and foe; treason
in our own ranks, and fraud, lies and
counterfeiting on the part of our enimies.
Five or six different kinds of counterfeit
or bogus Republican tickets, that We
know Of, were printed at the Democrat
Office, and sent abroad as Republican
tickets" The first kind that We saw,
were, as VIC are Informed, procured to be
printed BY a Republican, who has in times
past received substantial fayors from the
Republicans; we will say, however, tina.
these tickets were not intended to de-
ccive and should not be called CT unter.
felt, they were dissimilar in many re-
spects to the genuine Republican tickets
After this. the Democrats in and of them
selves, candidates included, got up differ
ent kinds Of Republican tickets, in what
had been the usual style Of our tickets.
Som, Of these had on them the name Of
Dr.. Cowan, with the rest of the Repub-
licsn ticket; and some had the names OF
Cowan and Wampler; and perhaps others
had other names on. This was all done be-
foreit was known that the Republican tick.
ct had, or was to have, pillow at the head;
and after our announcement in the last
ADVERTISER that plow was at the head
of our ticket, the Democracy, honestly
or dishonesty, procured cut of pillow,
and counterfeited the genuine Republi
can ticket as closely as could be done with
the type in the Democrat office, putting
thereon the name of Cowan, 10 some
cases, and in others those of Cowan,
Wampler, and Filloon and of course
leaving out the names of the Republican
candidates. The.e last tickets were circu.
lated throughout the county, on Monday,
with the evident intention of deceivine
the voters. In town they we're given to
men who we're not to show them here that
day; but, as fortune would have it, we
asccr,ained the fraud about 8 O. clock p.
NJ on Monday We then went to work
and changed the head of our ticket
printed a new lo,--got up handbills ex-
posing the fraud, and had them at the
pe'ls~ in every township, early Tuesday
morning. We have no doubt but that
the fraud was successful in many install
ccs; but We prevented the wholesale de-
ception that was intended to be practiced.

Report ON Philosophy.

To the Auxiliary Cedar County Teacher Association.
From the definition given by Webster,
We find that PHILOSOPHY" according to
the modern acceptation of the word, sis q
general trm, denoting an explanation
"of the reasons of things or, an inves
litigation Of the causes Of all the phenom
"ena Of mind aud of matter"
And further: "The objects of Philoso.
"phy are to ascertain facts or truths and
"the causes Of things or their phenomena;
"to enlarge our views CT God and his
"works; and to render our knowledge
"bo.h practically useful and subservicu.
"to human happiness !"
With this definition before u. aud
these objects in view, Philosophy EN-
braces broad field, and the study of it
extensive aud profound research. In all
the economy of nature, there are nun.
berless questions that are within the
province Of mans capacity to solve, both

works, to th'sc which require years Of
inquiry aud research by the greatest
minds, until mans narrow capacity rea ches
its limits, and he finds in every direction
phenomena that battle his skill, and teach
him that the ways of Providence are in .
scrutsble and past finding out.
This field of investigation necessarily
is very extensive, SO that minds like those

others, found no time in the course of
their lives to rest from their labor: and

his life, that he felt only as a child play.

the great ocean ef truth lay all undiscov-

This study Of Philosophy; or, search
ing to explain the reason of things"
should be commenced in childhood and
what belongs moro especially to this re-
port, Is to remind the teacher that this
work is to direct the mind of the child
into channel, that will, in early life, in-
spire him with a love of searching into
the mysteries Of nature, aud seeking the
cause of whatevcr he sees around him.
thereby awakening love of nature, and
forminga habit Of observation and tho't.
In my mind, there is no creator mistake
than is generally made 10 teaching Phi.
osophy. Children are left ignoran. of

nqu'r'ng minds would rejoice to know
Until . certain stage of their scholastic
course, when book anything but at.rsc. /
