MEMBER BOARD OF EDUcArroN.-For some
reason or other, several Towns in this County
failed to return any votes for Judge TABOR,
the Republican nominee for Member Of the
Board of Education, and consequently he ran
considerably behind the. rest Of the ticket
We printed the ballots for most of the Towns
in this County, and before the nomination
was made; but we inserted in its proper
place the line -" For Member Of the Board
Of Education, and left blank beneath it
for the purpose of having the name written
in, when it should be ascertained. We also
appended to the State and County tickets
heads and blanks for the Township nomina-
tons, and supposed that when the lattor
were filled out, the former would be also
The late hour at which the Convention was
held, precluded the possibility Of waiting un-
til the result was ascertained before printing
and scattering the tickets. AS il now is, il
is possible that Judge TABoR is defeated
If he is, the fault lies at the door Of those
whose duty it was to call the Convention.

/" There is sufficient evidence to prove his

conversant with the case on both sides,
and do not believe he has any testimony
aside from his own statement. He says he

quires." think he has done much more, in
some respects, than reason requires. Reason

Reason did not require him to cross.qucstion
two females an hour and half, in such a
manner that, am informed by the witness
he took with him, he (thc wituess,) was
ashamed Of him, and ashamed to be there.
The whole matter may he summed up
thus think: He had agreed to let Miss
TANNER have the school bu. having good
opportunity to rent the room to Mr.. HAM
moxD, he done so, before Miss TANNER came,
and when she came refused to have any
thing to do about the school," and it would
have been much better for him to have ad-
mitted it on the start, and arranged the mat
ter amicably. But he seems to have the idea
that his word must be taken as law, and the
end of the law; and that the people Of this
town. and courts, and juries, must do his
bidding, because he was minister Let me
say he lives in the wrong place to make any
such ideas practical, and the sooner they are
eradicatcd from his mind the better for him.
In conclusion have only to say, that, If
the gentleman docs not know what is due to
a stranger and a lady, believe the people of
this town do, and that they will render JUS
tice in their opinion, both to her and to him.
I also am convinced that the few men who
have seemed to assist him in this matter, and
for whose intelligence and integrity l have
the highest respect, would take the trouble
to examine the matter impartially, they would
come to like conclusion with myself. But
they seem to think that as the gentleman
defendant is the officiating minister Of the
church with which they are connected, it is
their duty to assist him. This zeal upon their
part, it seems to me, can never add to the in
fluence or interest of the church of which the
gentleman has charge. Yours, as

GoLD IN INDIANA.-Quite an excitement
prevailed in indianapolis few days since, by
the report that gold had been discovered in
Kokoma, Howard county. A quarter near
that place gave it out that he had discovered
quartz in the layers Of stone where he was at
work, and exhibited piece Of rock fecked
with what appeared to be gold as the result
Of his digging in and among the material de-
signed to be used for improving the streets.
The piece of rock glitter,ng with particles r,
sembling gold, was sent to Indianapolis for
chemical analysis, by a gentleman deeply in
tcrested in the quarries. The result Of the
analysis proved that there was gold " and no
mistake in the rock.--Lgtayette journal.
