EDITOR PIcNEER-Dear Sir:-On last Thurs
day, the school in this place came to q close,
after a continuation of sixteen weeks; and as
had the pleasure of attending on that day,
and was highly entertained, I have reason to
believe that few words concerning it to the
friends of education and those who may have
special interest will prove Interesting. The
manner in which the school and teacher per-
formed their parts-the prom ptness with
which questions were answered, examples
demonstrated and xplained-might well defy
competition. was there at an early hour,
and was truly glad to see the heavy laden
baskets upon the shelf, tt mixing that they
would not have been carried very far without
some great slim ula, such as a willing appe-
tite can give. Shortly after the hour of eleven
the school was dismissed for dinner; and now
began the struggle between busy hands and
eager ouths, for before us was spread in pro-
fusion all the delicacies of the season, and all
seemed willing to discharge their duty in this
important branch of industry. But the time
for books again arrived, and the examination
continued, conducted by committe of three
before crowded house, and deserves much
visitors and then the teacher attempted u
few parting remarks, but overcome by his
feelings, he was compelled to desist. An ex-
hibition took place on the following evening,
to q crowded house. The entertainment was
well received, and gave general satisfaction.

'sTHE Sweetest thing in Life'' is good
health and good spirits, and ifyou have
them not, the next best thing is what
will restore bloom to the faded cheek
and happiness to the dropping heart.
The great and sure remedy is Planta-
tion Bitters which our physicians rec
ommend to both male and female pa
tients as safe, reliable, agreeable and
cordial stimulant. They contain moth
ing to disagree with the most delicate
constitution, and have won golden
opinions from all who have tried them :;
and probably no article was ever tried
by so many persons. They elevate the
depressed and give strength to the
weak.

Some time since I'VE addressed dun

Some time since we addressed a dun
to about sixty Of our subscribers who
are in arrearage one and two years.
OF all these only six Or seven have
responded. We have stopped the pa
per of all referred to above, because we
cannot send it for nothing. If our
readiness to trust and accommodate be
made means by which to impose upon
us, we shall be compelled to adopt some
other plan, namely, to send no paper
out of the Office, unless prepaid. These
parties owe us about two hundred dol
lars for subscription, and how much we
will get of it we do not know, as it de-
pends entirely upon their honesty. We
cannot afford to keep up the practice
of trusting at so great sacrifice. We
trust the most will call and pay.

Southern Papers on Northern
Democratic j Journals.
The Trenton Gazette shows it's
appreciation of such papers as the
Metropolitan Record, La Crosse
Democrat and New York Day Book
in the following vigorous style. It
says:
1--WE can only regard with un-
mitigated loathing and contempt
those knaves and charlatans who
hope to grow rich off the Southern
people by pandering to their preju-.
dices and hatreds. Such vile pa
pers wo,d make mockeryl of the
woes and miseries of the South,
if thereby they could enrich them
selves H3. 81 1sf2s4 1855
Unprincipled, pretended friends to
the Southern people have done more
to bring odium upon the name than,
perhaps, any other cause. And we
will here take occasion to warn the
South against the insidious ap-
proaches Of that class of men, They
are cancerous excrescences upon the
body politic-a pestilential fungus
upon the State. They would de-
grade the South and leave her in
ruins to fill their Golfers with filthy
lucre. And we may mention that
we have but little more respect for
the La Crosse Democrat OF Metro
politan Record. They have no cir
culation North, and fatten upon the
prejudices of the South, which they
continually seek to keep alive by abu-
sing the people among whom they
live. We know best how to take
care of the reputation Of our friends
and look with suspicion upon Yam
KEGS who would be more Southern
than ourselves
On the above the Memphis Post
comments as follows:
s'There is much in this for our
Southern friends to digest. Will
they prefer the dattery of these vag-
abond sneaks who live by arousing
them to indicative bitterness, to
the faithful criticism Of good men
who differ in political sentiment,
but long sincerely to see the South
prosperous and happy? Will they
foster in their bosom a nest of scor-
pions, because they minister to their
vanity and praise them for violence
and crime9 Are the Southern pee-
pie wild beasts, bent upon their
prey, that they will not submit to
the reign of law and heed the voice
Of reason, and that they will toler-
ate in their midst only those who
will run with this wild race to de-
struction %

Farmers of Wyandot County, we
again urge upon you the Importance of
planting plenty of everything that will
contribute to the supplying of your
tables and filling your pocket books.
Sow all the spring wheat you can.
Take it for granted that the popula-
tion of our county came from Ireland
and hence will need very many pota-
toes. The demand for beans has never
been better. Buckwheat cakes will be
very popular next year, which please
to remember and prepare to supply the
market with flour for that purpose.
Finally we say let US all exert our
selves, each in our sphere, to rende 7
our county rich and self-sustaining.
This is perfectly practical. After this
year let it no longer be said that Wy
andot County has to import it's -four
and potatoes.
