superintendent, Mr.. Brown, is a
thorough going teacher, as was
shown by the discipline of his
school and his method of examin-
alton, as we'll as by the appearance
of the man himself. In the pri-
mary department, reading, as it
should be, was made the leading
study.
I spent but a short time in Hi
ram Hadley's school, but that was
all that was necessary. He has a
crowded school, and has been un-
der the necessity ofrejecting quite
a number of applicants. During
my stay there he was drilling a
class of sixty pupils in the ele-
mentary principles of writing.
His plan was the same as that
adopted by the best writing teach
ers, but was a plan Of his own.
Nothing need be said to add to
the reputation of Mr. Hadley, but
a person must visit his school to
realize the man. He seems to be
in the schOol-room because it is
his element, he is a living teacher;
he is not only up with the times,
he is a part of the times; he is
using Wilson's chart with success
in studying both Wilson's and
Sheldon's Object lessons; but he
taught object lessons before he
ever heard of either He is a
student: and his success is worthy
the thought of younger teachers.
We also called a short time in
the schools Of Williamsburg under
William Bell, and of Newport un-
der Thomas Charles. Mr.. Bell
has a very pleasant school. and
Thomas Charles has quite a large
one, having drawn to n consider
able extent from Randolph. We
trust that on the return Of his stu
dents to their homes they VIII not
fail to bring with them a part of
his spirit We trust to see the
day when Randolph shall awaken
to the necessity of education. and
the advantages Of well conducted
schools under competent teachers,
and shall stand side by side with
her sister county Wayne in the
great work. LEVI WRIGHT.

USE LARGE POTATOES TOR
SEED.

From the American Agricultnrist
Tn the suburbs or the city. cs-
peciallv on Long Island. potato
growing is pretty nearly reduced
to n science. Many OF the farm
ers make this their main crop. and
not a few raise two thousand dol
lars worth and more, in Il season.
They plow in horse manure and
pIow deep. They select their lar
gest potatoes for seed, quarter and
plant the pieces in drills about ff-
teen inches apart. and prefer TO
have only four stalks in a place.
The product IS potatoes of very
uniform marketable size. with few
or no small ones. They require
very little sorting, and the whole
crop is turned into money at the
market price. These farmers
doubtless know what is for their
interest. and ridicule the notion of
planting small potatoes to realize
from.
Farmers who do not make pota-
toes n speciality, may learn some
thing from the large experience Of
these men 1t is more profitable
TO raise potatoes for market than
for stock. and with all the draw
hacks for rot. potatoes generally
pay better than corn in the old
States. especially where farmers
are within convenient wagon drive
of market. 1t looks reasonable
that the body of the tuber should
contain the strongest germs. and
he most secure from rot Posi-.
bly, the continued planting of small
tubers has 4 tendency to weaker
the stock and TO induce rot. Thi:
( year a multitude Of men that wer.
upon the farm last Spring are ii

all the potatoes we can raise. Il

one more acre, and let the seed b,

PREVALENT MISTAKES.

As q general rule, persons who
claim, and really possess, consid-
cradle agricultural knowledge, and
IN average amount of good sense,
know hut little Of the character or
requirements Of the roots Of our
most commonly cultivated trees
and plants. Evidence of this fact
are abundant in the season Of cul-
ture. Every one NAV find exam
pies on the farm of his nearest
neighbor. and even nearer home.
The orchardist. instead OF placing
the manure which he designs for
the food Of his trees over a large
space around the tree. and espe-
cially near the extremities Of the
roots where are thousands Of hun
grv mouths ready TO appropriate
every particle that is suitable for
the formation of wood. leaves, or
fruit. generally makes little pile
around the trunk, where 1t may
remain and the tree starve, unless
the friendly rains wash a portion
within reach Of the feeding roots.
The gardener. too. instead Of pull
verizing his soil well, 10 a good
depth. is very careful TO rake the
surface smooth so that Il will ap-
pear well 70 the eve. although be-

"a LITTLE MORE GRAPE" IN
THE PROSECUTION OF THE
WAR.

Tn the midst of a rebellion that
calls forth "every energy Of a
people who acknowledge no

one. that men, who enjoy a high
place in the estimation and con
fidence of their fellow citizens. are
wasting their energy and intellec-

Of energy wasted, dollar spent
or a life lost in any issue foreign
to the preservation of the Union,
if the return of peace can be
hastened by breaking the yoke of
the oppressed, by depriving our
enemies Of the labor which feeds
and sustains their armies, by pro-
claiming liberty throughout the
rebellious States to all the in
habitants thereof; if, / say, the
death of slavery in the rebellious
States will give life to the nation
and peace to the people, would
there not be more cause Of JOY than
of sorrow in its death?
On these terms who, that has
the patriotic fire of '76" burning
on the altar of his heart, will
mourn its death? / confidently
adopt the words Of Logan and
| answer, "NoT ONE If the return
Of peace can be hastened by break
ing the chain which binds together
a powerful aristocracy, which is
travelling swiftly in the direction

Slavery is the lie of the rebel

in our midst whose stone-clad
patriotism no appeal can penetrate,
and who continue to throw i'm
pediments in the way of the Gov
ernment, or stand aloof and look
on its life and death struggle with
apathetic indifference. We have
men in our midst who are prepared
to see the great principle on which
Free Government is founded-the
right of the majority to rule-go
down to its grave in darkness, to
be succeeded by the paralyzing
cloud of slavery, whose vampire
