INrERvENrIoN.-The following extract
from a letter received in this city from
highly respectable merchant in Liverpool
may assist in quoting the fears Of some IN
regard to the much-dreaded interference OF
England in orr domestic QUARTERS:
.1he subscriptions raised in your city for
the distressed working people here are truly
liberal, and hope show that there is not SO
much ill-feeling towards England as has
been represented at least, it must y itIgate
it very much. Mr.. Seward need not be
much alarmed about Intervention on the
part Of England; here has never been much
of feeling here in favor of it, and now |
doubt If there is any at all. The opinion
is gaining ground chat we must look to 9th
er quarters for cotton, for even if peace
were MADE, the supply from the United
States will be very precarious for sometime
to come; hence many things that the rails
inc Of the blockade would be rather an evi-
than otherwise at this time tending as it
would 10 decrease the cultivation of the ar
ticla in oiherpIaces.--NsW York CONNER

Lawyers, Rebels and Dogs.

Tie doctor is kept well posted upon all
the diseases Of bis nelgbborhood and must
provide doses for them; the faithful gospel
shepherd must hear all the sins committed
and must prescribe for their relief; the law
yer must hear and remedy all offenses, and
the school master must devise ways and
means to dispel all ignorance, especially Of
The new generation. No wonder then that
the doctor believes all men sick, the preach
err all mea sinners,the lawyer all men knayes
and the schoomaster all younefolks in want
acknowledge. The editor has also his cares
and must suggest remedies, often very novel
ones, for of all professions the editor has
the fewest rules to govern his practice.
There are no books TO guide him, no pre-
pared remedies, but only such as he car dis
til within his laboratory and vend from his
unlicensed dispensatory Of evergieens. We
often get at the secret workings of raighbors
and mischiefs of society, but seldom do we
spread them out to view. Here is funny
letter we have received but dare not give the
name Of the writer. The doctor, minister,
lawyer and teacher often get hold of funny
cases, but dare not give the names. So do
we, and here is one:
Boscobel, Jan. 18th SO.
Mr.. COVER Dear Sir:-In these
troublesome times it behooves me to adhere
very closely to the rule to "owe no man
anything" Therefore, as | am unprepared
to advance the pay for your paper please
discontinue il for the present, and as soon
as get able | will take it again which shall
not be long, as it is our old friend. If the
Boscobel lawyers don't continue to annoy
me and devour my substance, and the dogs
quit killing my sheep. shall soon be able
to begin again and then keep on taking the
Herald. But the dogs and lawyers have
about broke me up; curses everlasting on
the lawyers, dogs nd rebels this our good
country is flooded with them and presents
a gloomy aspect. Isupposet there are some
god lawyers, as well as good dogs, but
trey are not the kind that trouble me.
Respectfully Yours.

Our readers are referred to the report
rendered by County Superintendent Par
sous to the State Superintendent, to be
read on the first page Of our paper. Els
pecially do we refer parents, school officers
and all friends Of education to the reported
progress which teachers have made in edu-
cation during the current year---for be it
known. teachers are in far greater need of
education than the children--a fact which
may seem very curious to some people but
it is nevertheless so. All has depended
upon the first year start made uader the
pew system; by continuing in the use Of
be hundred or more half qualified teachers,
DIR. Parsons might have secured some brief
popularity--might have gratified that class
of school officers who say, sour children
are all small and bat beginners, so license
that half qualified Icy, fallow to teach
our school, he'H ansaOer for as as ace
hare no foruard scholdss" Mr.. Parsons
said "no III see that every district has a
we'll qualified teacher or none." And so
he fixed his standard of qualification so
high as to exclude nearly half the peda-
cogue militia Of Grant county. Very
well; there are already nearly enough
fully qualified teachers to take their places,
and next year there will be an excess Of
such. But, to prevent any great excess,
Mr.. Parsons adopts this novel method: he
raises the standard of qualification at each
examination-very little at time but
enough to keep every teacher busy as a
student. And then he grades the teach
ers into first, second and third classe s.
allowing the most busy and studious to
rank above those who neglect study. In
this way he compels every teacher 10 be a
student. Nor does he stop here, but re-
quires the schools to progress from time
to time in order, discipline and method.
He also gives considerable attention to the
plans of school rooms, and sees that due
space is provided for numbers, and that
fair cony enie noes are furnished. Next year
The foundation so laid will be ready for
the building; the schools viii begin 70 re-
port TO the country and parents will take
to following after the children to the school
houses as a place of resort instead Of the
saloon, bar-room, the store where loafers
do now congregate. We 60 for just such
revolutions, the more the better and merrier.
