Mr.. EDITOR: Some three or four weeks
ago n writer over the nan de gner, er Ram
bier, appeared in an article in THE CHRoN-
IcLE describing n school exhibition that he
had lately witnessed somewhere in this
county. He uses very strong language, yet
he presents some very good advice as to how
the young and their Instructors should en-
p,oy their time and energies in their exhib'-
lions. He does not localize his article,
therefore he makes no exposure of misap-
plication of time and energy by any par
ticular persons.
This was very consijerate. as those NOT
knowing to the circumstances, are only
warned by him no: to indulge in the same
kind Of folly, or degradation of their facul-
ties which should be elevated and stored
with useful knowledge.
Since "Rambier's" debut "a Youth comes
out ard speaks Of an exhibition in which
he took part, and accuses Rambler" OF
treating them rather harshly. and that he
did not consider the purpose for which they
met. Be that as it may, RAMBLER may
have been alluding to what passed at scme
other place, and some other exhibition. Be
it where it may he makes no exposure OF
persons, but administers castigaton by
which those who were or may be guilty Of
departure from strict propriety be gre atlly
benefited. He is somewhat severe in his
description of part OF the exhibition to
which he refers, it is true, but if he told the
Truth. oil who may hereafter engage in ex-
hibitiops. should be careful to give no occa-
sion or a similar castigation.
WAS at the place, Mr.. Editor. to which
"a Youth" refers, and witnessed the per-
formance of the 'lads and lasses' o. the
school in their exhibition. | can give it no
biphe: commentator than GA Youth" does.
but can say that their performances was
GOOD. decidedly better than their selections.
Their design is truly laudable one, but
the better the language in the Speeches,
ESSAYS. and Dialogues the greater will be

sentiment, the purer the dic,;on, the great

the right use Of language, in good delivery

The Election.
from the ST. Louis Democrat.l


We publish this morning returns of the
election. as far as received, and if they dis
appoint our most sangu ne hopes; thry at
the sametime give undoubtcd assurance Of
substantial victory to the Free Democracy
and their allies. Out Of fourteen candid
ates we have elected ten, including ma
jority of the Board of Cumms ssioners. Tue
four candidates elected on the olher side
are not indebted for their success to the
strength OF the National Democracy.
These candidates we're in three or four
regularly formed tickets, exclusive of the
National Democratic ticket. They were or
the American ticket; on The independent
ticket; on the Citizens ticket, ard on the
Workingman's ticket. We thoroughly ap-
preciated the motive which gave rise to the
formation of these tickets, and we inform
ed the public repeatedly that their effor:
would be to give aid to the National Demo-
cratic ticket. The results prove that we
were not mistaken.
1t will be our duty, at an early dav, to
review the contest. and draw those infer
ences from the results, with which they are
pregnant.
The election just closed is, perhaps, the
most significant that has taken place il the
county for many years, IL presents grea t,
though indirect issues, di>entangled from
the complications which that anomaly, q
third party, never fails to beget.
What has been done in the county Of ST
Louis, may he done on much wider theater;
nor should we spause with merely setting
the example TO the State, and the country
at large. Let US advance the movement
unit the Opposition is consolidated in one
body. Politics admit of no truce-to pause
is to recede. Let Us on then; and by steady
adherence to great issues, and disregard
of miner ones, be prepared To dispute thi;

accident occurred near Brandon, Miss. A
Mrs. Jackson had Occasion to 60 during the
night to the window of the room in which,
with her husband, she had been sleeping
While engaged in arranging the blind or
shutter, the husband awoke and seizlng his
gun, supposng that some ialonious intruder
was in the room. Mrs. Jackson advanced
toward the bed, although her husband called
ou, to her to stop or he should fire, and he
actually discharged his musket at her, and
she at once fell dead. He then turned to
the place he supposed his wife was lying
beside him, to tell her he had killed some
one, when, not finding her, the truth flashed
upon him that he had shot his own wife.

GA new steam plox. the invention OF

tee from the Pennsylvania State Agricultur-
sl Society, at Oxford Park near Philadei-
phia on the Oath inst. The engine is of
thirty horse power. is adapted 10 either wood
or coal, and requires. of the latter about
Qpe-half ton per day. Eight plo@s are at
tsched to the engine each of which turns a
furrow six inches deep and fourteen broad.
This plow, with ease, will plow four acres
per hour. 1t worked to the entire satisfac-
tion of the committee, making short turns
crossing gulI,es. rising a grade without diff
fculty and in performing the NEST perfect
work. The steam plow is destined to take
the place of our present slow teams in a
few years. One plow would do all the work
in whole neighborhood, and that too at
about the one fifth the expense of the pres
