At meeting of the Addison County
Wool Growers Association in Middle

a resolution requesting our Congressman
to make all suitable efforts for the protec-
ton OF the wool-growing interest, Mr..

THE HOPED SKIRT AND BAPTISM
Detroit last week, rather amusing
scene took place during the baptism of
a young lady, by the pastor of the
Tabernacle. The minister requested
her to assume the dress peculiar to
such occasions, but she declined to take
off her hoped skirt; the minister told
her of the Inconvenience that would
result from her obstinacy, but like
true female she persisted; but when
she came to descend into the bath the
inflated skirt touched the water and
rose up around her like balloon. Her
head was lost TO the congregation; she
was swallowed up in the swelling skirt.
The minister then tried TO force her
down into the bath, but she was kept
above the surface by the floating pro-
perties of crinoline, and was bouyed
up so successfully that it was not until
after much difficulty, and many forci~
bic attempts to submerge the lady that
the minister succeeded in baptizing
the fair one. Finally, it was effected,
10 the relief Of the minister and seTi-
ously inclined audience, who could not
keep from chuckling in their sleeves,
and laughing in their pocket handker-
chiefs.

Education Of the Freedmen.


The Marion (Ala.) Commonwealth
publishes the following call for public
meeting on this interesting subject. The
signatures embrace the names of some
of the sblest men in the State. Hon.
A. B. Moore and Hon. J. L. N Curry
have acquired eminence in all parts Of
Alabama, and whatever they propose
will be faVorably received and consid-
cred.
The undersigned, citizens Of Perry coun-
ty, Ala, onvinced Of the duty aud prOprI-
ETY. % encouraiing the freedmen Of this
county, in their wishes and efforts to ac-
quiro common school education, would
earnestly invite sll our citizens, both male
and female, 60 meet, for the consideration oil
this subject, at the Town Hall, IN Marion,
on Tuesday, the 18th inst, st = ia.

This movement, if properly encour-
aged and supported in Marion, will
gradually be extended over other coun'
ties, and must be productive Of ma
terial benefit to both the freedmen
and the whites. The former must be
educated; it would be criminal to per
nit them to remain in ignorance; and
who so well qualified to take charge of
their education as the whites amongst
whom they have spent their lives, and
whose interest it is to retain their re
spect and ailection2 IL is made a mat
ter of grave and Just complaint that
teachers pursuing their labors under
the auspices Of the Freedmen's Bureau,
and having no interest in Southern so
ciety, too frequently insGl into the
minds Of their credulous pupils ideas
PrejudicIal TO peace and happiness.
But unless the Southern people them
selves step forward, as Gov. Moore and
Mr. Curry propose, and take charge of
the education ofthe freedmen, whatrem-
edy can be oflered2 Surely, to keep them
in ignorance would be worse than to
incur the hazards Of having their minds
imbued with hostile ideas by teachers
from abroad There are thousands of
young ladies and gentlemen in the
South, out Of employment, spending
their time unproftnbly, who might here
find field of usefulness TO themselves
and to their native South, not less than
10 the freedmen. Our section has en-
tered upon a new career 1t viii never
drift back TO the old routine. We
must wake up, realize and discharge all
the duties growing cut of the new con
dition of affairs. IF we fall short of
what they require, others must and will
perform them; and we shall sink into
merited iusignilicance.
