Sweet mother, thou art still as dear

Thy loving care would repay,
In words and deeds of love;

3. Resolped. That shameful disregard of the
administration of its duty in respect to our
fellow citizens who now, and long have been
prisoners of war in a suffering condition, de-
serves the severest reprobation on a score
alike Of public policy ard humanity.
6. Resoiued, That the sympathy of the
Democratic party is heartily and earnestly ex-
tended to the soldiers of our army who now
are. and have been in the field under the flag
of their country, and the inevent of attaining
power, they will receive that protection and
regard that the brave soldiers Of the republic
have SO nobly earned.

Mr.. EDrToE Again | resume a

August 5lh, A. M-visited primary

tor, Miss Olive 0. Cheney, teacher.
Wages $3.50 per week, and boards

quet and towering plants ornament

Apparatus. good black board, hung
so as to raise or lower to suit pupils.
Scholars present, 20 f; on list 55--av.
erage attendance, about 30-S lately
sent up to higher department. These
scholars are all small, and Of course
are pursuing primary branches. Read
ing, spelling, mental arithmetic, and
writing on states, constitute the main
exercises. They not only read, but
are questioned in regard to the sub
ject about which they have been read
ing /; and, in this method, they seem
to have been well drilled. The multi.
plication table, and the little song,
" we all love one another" were ad.
mirably sung. Considerable atten-
tion is also paid to the elementary
sounds Of the language, the basis Of
all good reading and speaking. Most
of these little folks have states upon
which they write and cipher, a very
sensible way of occupying the Juvenile
mind. No scholar, however small,
should be allowed TO go to school with
out its slate and pencil. For amusc-
ment, for pastime, or for profit, moth
ing can exceed it. For juveniles,
good order prevailed. Announcements,
for age, middling. Good teachers, of
course, make good schools. Miss
Cheney is worthy her vocation.
