VISIT To THE SCHooIs.-On Friday
last VIC accompanied Hervey Wilbur,
Esq, County Superintendent of Com
mon Schools for Floyd county, and
B. +. Cheney, Esq, President of the
Board Of School Directors of this
township, in their visits to the several
schools Of this village. Mr. Wilbur
is the right man for Superintendent
lie is zcalously devoted to the cause
Of education, and is accomplishing
great good by his attention to the
schools Of the county. We found all
three of the schools of this village
more advanced than we had anticipa-
ted. The school on the west side of
the river, kept by Miss Carver, was
the most orderly and appeared to be
more advanced than either of the 9TH
ers. Miss Carver is q good teacher.
At Miss Wilbur's school, on the cast
side of the river, we found the house
brim full Of little ones, from the A, B,
{, D-arians to those in arithmetic and
geography but all of them quite
small, and certainly too many of them
for one teacher. Miss Wilbur, how
ever, is born school teacher. She
loves her work and the school, and
the children love her. We were new
er more interested or more pleased
with any other school than We were
with this.
Next, we visited the school kept by
Miss Cheney. This school comprises
the LARGER and more advanced scho'.
ars OF the village on the east side OF
the river 1t appeared to us that
some of these scholars did not apply
themselves as closely to their studies
as they ought to, and on coming to
their rccitations they were found def
cicnt. Why will any youth allow
such golden privileges to pass unim-
proved? We will say, however, that
we found the school more orderly and
better disciplined than we had antici-
pated. Miss Cheney is an accomplish
cd teacher, and applies herself indus
triously to her task. If any scholar
does not make good progress it is not
her fault. We foud excellent scholars
in this school-and, indeed, as a
whole, we must say that we arc proud
of the schools of our village.

Incidents Of the Tornado.

a farmer on the tornado route had
several bushels of hickory nuts in his

One of the most intelligent ladies

bushels of corn and $50 bushels of

and swept out the floor upon which
rested the grain-doing it so sudden
ly as to let the grain drop in the eel

uninjurcd, and scarcely bushcl Of it
missing. Not remnant of the floor
