Country Schools.


One Of the most deplorable effects OF the late
war, was the serious Interference which il 90 :.
cssloned to tho educational facilities OF The
country. During the PROCESS of,he war, many
Of the teachers and professors Of &C hools we're
conscrissd aud placed IL the army, and all
boys, above certain ages, were required to lay
down their books and take up the imrtefhents
Of war. And SINCE peace has been restored,
the country has heen SO impoverished d, an d
oppressed With other dioic sltie,, that co.pars.
lively little attention has been bestowed upon
the important matter Of educating our children.
We learn that many portions OF our Dis, ,ict
are bare st schools; that the people manifest
but little interest in the matter, and say tbs
they are too psor to pay tuition charges This
is really to be regretted; and wcsre persuaded
that the plea Of poverty will not hold good in
MANY cases. There are very few persons who
are really too poor to pay the moderate rstes
Of tuition charged in our county; and IL they
have net the money now, they can, b., the eI.
ercise ofipdu,try and energy, make it during
the present 3esr.
Next to that Of paying his minister, n mar a
highest duty is, PERHAPS. sh.t Of providing ior
the education OF his children. II We M, elect
this matter. oar children will grow up in igno
rance, aud We will relapse into' b.rb,rism.
The number Of male and female adults, nov
living in our country, who are unable to writ o
their names, would, il sseertained and pub
lishcd, be startling even to srti.Ytes
The aid afforded by the State for the sd,cs-
ton oi the poor - not a. large a. usual, the
appropriation Tor this District, the pre.eat year.
as We understand, having bee. reduced from
twelve hundred dollars, TO tsur hundred dollars.
This is To be deplored, but Ne pre-tne il was
all the State could do in her preseut .traitened
circumstances The people should. Oh thi. ae.
count, use the greater diligence; sud ~ake up
the deficiency from their s~n resources.
In our Village tie usual tscilhie. are Afforded
aud the schools appear to be yer, we'll attended.
The male Academy Is In charge si M. J c.
Hardin, aud there are several female scho ol,.
We wish that every portion Of the District ~s.
as we'll provided for.
The freedmen, in many instances, manifest a
desire To have their children educated. Thi.
is praise1orthy and ,hodtd DC encouraged.
Many OF our people hate prtiudiccs o. Tim
subject, snd sosld rather throw hiisr.s ces IN
the way OF the schooling OF the blacks. This
Is wrong. They should rather be encouraged
in the sIsrts which they nay, with their very
slender facilities, be able to make ia this dirsc.
ton. II will make them . better a.d nots
useful people. aud will contribute 10 tht Ecnsr.
al prosperity sf the county.

A REMARKABLE FAMILY GATHER
1NG.-A remarkable Thanksgiving
gathering took place in York, Maine,
at the residence of Daniel MCINTYRE.
-Four generations were present. The
venerable grandfather is eighty two
years Of age, and, what is remarkable,
weighs but seventy pounds, with not
even a gray hair intermixed with his
black locks or whiskers. He carries on
his farm in person; last Summer, worked
with the hands moving in the field, and
now performs all the duties connected
with the care of two yoke of oxen, FIVE
COWS, one hundred sheep, ETC., etc..
assisted only by a young lad. He ereads
his newspaper regularly without specta-
cles. His bigger and better half is
hale and hearty, weighing two hundred
and twenty-five pounds. They have
had twelve children, eleven of then
being alive ten of whom were present
at the Thanksgiving feast, one, mo-
having quite reached his growth, meas
uring six feet three inches while standing
in his stockings, with lots of grandchil
dren to make grandmother's goodie
disappear somewhat rapidly.
