tue iANoraote COMPARISONS that are ire
euently made between Evansville and
towns aud cities, especially in our own
State, that are not blessed with such
good schools as we have. This alone,
aside from the solid advantages given by
the schools, more than repays all their
trouble and cost The public schools
are crown Of glory to Evansville.
In voting to-day, especially for Coun-
cilmen, support men whom you know to
be favorable to Free Schools, and do not
trust the asttering promises of men who
at heart are opposed to them. The can
didates for the Council, on the Union
Ticket, we knosp TO be Old Charter and
Free School men. Their election viii
insure the welfare of our Schools, while
their defeat will endanger the existence
of the Old Charter and the Schools under
it They are for the Old Charter and the
Free Schools. Their opponents will tell
you they are for the Free Schools, bat
they think the New Charter ought 70 be
adopted. because, and so on, and soon.
They can tell you several very specious
reasons why, bat the vital fact is, an
efficient system of Free Schools, kept
open most of the year, cannot be main
tanned under the New Charter; and the
man who says this can be done Is
either ignorant of the sad experiences
Of other Indiana cities, or he at
tempts to deceive you. No man is a

The little SeEx:lsiC.css.

An amusing matrimonial story is told by
a correspondent, Of the oiicn time in New
England. 1t so fell out that young couple
became very much snutten with each other
as young people do. The young woman $
father was a wealthy Quaker--the young
man was respectable. The father could
stand no such union, and reSolutey opposed
it, and the daughter dare not disobey--that
is to say she dare not disobey openly. She
met him by moonlight while She pretend
ed never to see him--and she pined and
wasted in spite of herself She was really
in iove--a state of sighs and tears, which
women oftener reach in imagination than
reality. Still the father remained inexola-
Bile.
Time passed on, and the rnse on Mary's
dama,k cheek passed off. She let conceal.
ment like wolm in the bud prey on that
damask cheek, however; but when her ia
thcr asked her why she pined, she always
told him. The old man was a widower. and
loved his daughter dearly. Had it been a
widowed mother who had Mary in charge, a
woman's pride would never have given way
before the opportunities of daughter
Men are not, however, stubborn in such
matters, and when the father saw that his
daughter S. heart was really set upon the
match, he surprised her one day by breath
lug out:
MARY, rather than nope to death, thee
had better marry as soon as thee choices,
and whom thee plea es.'
And then what did Mary? Wait till the
birds Of the air had told her swain of the
change, OF until her father had time to alter
his mind again? Not bit of it. She clap
ped her neat, plain bonnet on her head,
walked directly into the street. and then di-
reetly to the house Of her intended as the
street would carry her. She walked into
the house without lnocking-inr knocking

family just sitting down to dinner. Some
little commotion was exhibited at so unex-
pccted and unusual an aprarition. as the
heiress in the widows cottage. Ut she heed
ed it not John looked up inquringly. She
walked directly up to him and took both
hands in hers.
"John," said she, father says may have
thee"
And John got directly up from the dinner
talle, and went to the parsons. In just
twenty-five minutes they were man and

A New Excitement Out West.

raid OF bears upon some Of the villages.
The Anoka Star says:
Our usually quiet village has been for the
past week the thcater of anusual excitement,
in consequence of the unprecedented ire
quency OF bear sights and sounds. From a
careful compilation OF reports during the
week, we find that some sixty-four OF the
bruin species have been seen WI hin the area
of about one mile fiom our public square. -
The number actually killed during the time
averaged emily about one each day. Accor-
ding to the reports, very many have been
pursued by men and boys with every con
ceivable kind OF weapon, ttom pitch-tork
to six-barrel rife. Our Postmaster, Z. A,
jerks, Esq, on Monday killed we're large
and tat one, near the residence OF John
MayalI. 1t was more than seven fec: long,
anu weighed upward @. 4U0 pounds.
On tuesday, Capt Iiiton is said to have
killed fine one, and on the same day a
hai;-grown cub was killed near the village
by &. Rice.
Wcdne>d day morning fine large one was
seen to walk quite lei, urelE elEthiougl the east
part OF the town, till he halted for rest, and,
we presume, oh; ervatlon, near the Congle-
gaional Church. With a sagacity quite
commendabie under the circumstances, when
the armed host began to gather on his uail,
he babe his brief acquaintances hasty

On Thursday morning Dr.. Ashbury and

Why should my steps be gay?
Since everything is fleeting hero
As flowers but bloom to disappear,

Yet every one to mark its flight,
Has cast on some loved thing blight,
To mind US of the tomb.
The sights Of cherished love-
Hopes ever ON the wing
Ingratitude and wasted health.
And loss of home, and friends, and wealth, =
These are the woes they bring.
Like the bright icy wreaths
That shroud OUT wiIltry treosI
Such are our hopes--as cold and fair
They vanish, while they dazzle there,
Een in the first slight breeze.
The grieved heart may wear
Pleasures bright, sunny snilc;
May seek to lure away its grief
ntsmiles bring not the wished relief
Sad thoughts they cannot VILE.
