Shooting ARRAY took place in this quiet
village to day, and is creating intense ex-
element among the citizens generally
TheIe are two stories current; which
is correct / am unable to ascertain =
Robert Taylor, a young MAJ of about
"a years of age, shot his step father,
Mr.. P. G. Morgan, an old resident of
this part of Missouri. DR.. J F Neal OF
Peru, Nebraska, Was Immediately sent
for. An examination found that the ball
entered The left breast, neal the arm,
and passed under the second rib TO the
breast bone, thence through the lung
The Doctor reports that Morgan is not
in any immediate danger. The young
man left soon after shooting, and has not
been seen since. Morgan says that not
one word passed between them on that
day, but tha; on the Thursday previous
Morgan was driving his team and sleigh
and that Taylor and Morrow were driv.
ing another team and sleigh, and en-
deavOred to run by Morgan, that they
ran their teams some distance, the two
sleighs got hiIched together in the me-
lee, and hard words passed between them
then. To-day, Taylor and Morrow
met Morgan in a wagon shop and imme.
diately Taylor drew his revolver, and
Morgan reached for his knife, and Just
at that moment, Taylor fired his revol-
yer which took effect as above. stated.
The friends Of Taylor say that Nor
gan first drew his knife, and advanced
towards the young man, who then shot
his step father in self. defense. In The
present excitement il is not easy to get
at the exact facts.
A bad feeling evidently existed be-
tween the two for some months past,
which has resulted sadly for The parties
participating therein. Morgan is still
much excited, and exhibits much bad
passion, and wishes the boy brought
back, that he may shoot him. The sons
of Morgan are on the hunt for Taylor,
and many think that Taylor left only to
avoid f9pher shooting.

Our Common School System.

Mr.. EDIToR Permit me to offer q
few suggestions through the columns o.
your cOmpanionable paper, in regard IL
the interest manifested in the common
schools OF our county. Observation I'm,
presses, and experience confirms the
idea, that the attention to which our pub.
lie schools are entitled, is in many re
spects neglected /; aud with the popula-
ton of the county increases the demand
for a more general interest in education,
and a more thorough organization of the
present school system.
The principles upon which the present
mode Of teaching is based, are of a locdI
character, adapted to the immediate
wants of the district interested, while
they should be recognized by a unifor 3
system, and subject to the control and
benefit of a county organization, so that
as far as practicable the educational inter.
ests of the county will keep pace with
the rapidly increasing agricultural and
commercial Interests. The lack of in
terest does not arise from a want of
means, however but from a want of
proper appreciation of the advantages to
be derived from a good common school
education. At this advanced age of civ.
~ilization more is expected from it, and a
greater interest anticipated in lis behalf.
especially IN our western country. where
to a great extent the estimation and sue.
cess of our schools is partly dependent
upon material furnished and qualified in
the more mature portions of the country /;
and the success Of our school system of
the present day, as it exists in our new
~ settled portions Of the country, is not
dependent upon the introduction and
completion Of an entire new one, but the
founding of one, changing its base of op.
GRAFTON from the dense population of the
east TO the newly adopted homes of the
west, subject only to the disadvantages
arising from the sparse settlements of the
people.
Now, the question arises, how can a
greater interest be excited among the
people, and what plan can be adopted to
remodel the present system, and adopt a
more substantial one? 1 answeF-by
action among those to whom the educa-
ton of the children are entrusted and
as a great deal depends upon the judg'
ment and energy of the teachers, it is
highly essential that they should not
only understand their duty, but be quail.
fed TO teach according to the most i'm
proved and successful system.
Therefore, this being necessary, and
as it can be accomplished only by an ex-
change of views among themselves, and
the friends of education generally, it is
evident that a united effort in this direc-
ton would accomplish much. There are
now in operation in our county about
forty schools, with an average daily "a,
tendance of about thirty pupils, making
in all about twelve hundred pupils. Now
suppose these forty teachers we're TO
meet together IN convention for the pur-
pose of mutual improvement IN the art of
teaching, would not those instructors be
greatly improved {! and would not those
to be instructed be greatly benefited 2
Undoubtedly they would.
Then, feliOw-teachers, consider these

Our School.

Nh. EDIToR: Perhaps a word to your
readers about GU school will not be out
of place. The first half of the present
term closes with this week. Tosay that
the naoemen of the school thus far
has been satisfactory, would not DO JUS
tice to the teachers and those who have
had the matter ia charge. While the
attendance thus far has not been so large
as was desired, and not so large per-
haps, as it ought to have been-yet any
one who will take the trouble to examine
the school record cannot fail to observe
that the regularity of attendance of those
who entered has been much better than
it ever has been before, the absenLees
do not average one twentieth of the
number enrolled. This is one of the
best evidences of a good school, and II
will no doubt be found upon inquiry that
the department, diligence and progress
of the scholars has been proportionate &c
the attendance.
The present corps of teachers have
certainly given tho best evidences Of
their efficiency, and sufficiently demon.
strated hat they are entitled to the con
fdence and support of those who have
children to educate, and it is to be hoped
that the remaining portion of the presen
term will be better %patronized. H.

Editors of Neb. AdUertiSer :-DEAR
SIRs-The citizens of Peru are starting
a subscription to buy a bell for the State
Normal School building.
The Normal School will commence It's
second term tomorrow, under the aus
pices of those two excellent instructors,
Mr.. g. Mrs. Mckenzie. They are CIV
ing good satisfaction and increasing their
already good repution as teachers. The
school is ho~urishing finely, and the oiti-
zens of Peru take a deep interest ip the
prosperity of the school.
The business of our town is on the in
crease, although somewhat dull at pres
ent.
Judge Sanders, our popular Druggist
and Postmaster, has taken d S Ran
dal in with him, and is preparing to in
crease his business, in proportion 10 their
increasing capital.
We fatter ourselves that we have good
sleighing now. Under this belief, we
harness up our best span and hitch
to our sleighs, and make the bells giDgle
when we reach a short patch of snow,
and rough it the balance of the way. Il
may be fun for US but death to the poor
horses.
We see by your last weeks issue of
the Advertiser that Commissioner Nc
Gee voted to send Holmes TO Washing.
ton, and voted him $500 expense money
in consideration of his large influence in
Washington and Connecticut. You will
pardon US, the citizens of this part of the
county, when we say that we feel grie.
vousiy indignant atthis use of our mo.
ney, and that we are not disposed to let
the matter rest here. Otherwise there
is nothing transporting to ruas the flow of
our happy and jolly spirits in their usual
course. If you publish this, you may
hear from me again when the spirit
moves.

Advertising q Successin Business.

The New York Tribune has the fol-
lowing upon the value of advertising, and
every practical business man will con-
firm what it says of the present state of
business: prudence and economy Of
course. are the two great lessons TO be
learned; but there is one part of these
lessons which in dull times is especially
apt to be forgotten. Be sure of one thing;
whatever you have to sell, there are
many people ready to buy, even in the
most depressed season. Find them out:
show them your wares; persuade them TO
buy of you rather than another. When
buyers are reluctant, sellers must be
active. 1t is neither cheap nor sensible
to sit still behind your counter and wait
for the hustle Of trade to revive. When
business is dull, that is the very time to
advertise. In the first place, that is when
you most need to advertise: and in the
second, that is when people devote most
time to reading the newspapers, and
when your advertisement consequently
is most generally seen. "A few dollars
thus invested will do mere to revive a
sluggish business than anything else in
the world"
