HOURS FOR STUDY:-An Important
change in the system of educating chill
dren has been inaugurated in Germany.
There school authorities have determin-
ed to have no afternoon classes. They
have 8scertained that three or four hours
clear-headed mental study, without any
mental tasks in the afternoon, leads to
better results than the old system. 1t
would be we'll if the hours of study were
shortened in our schools. Too much
study not only dwarfs the intellect, but
damages the physical health. Let the
first half of the day be devoted TO the
acquiring of book-knowledge, and the
last half to the gaining of bodily
strength and vigor.
And, in order to do this, the lessons
must not be so long and hard as to en-
croach upon the afternoon. An hour or
SO after supper ought to.be sufficient to
devote to study-leaving the rest of the
evening for some pleasant game or con-
in the case of young or
weak children, for sleep. Sensible as
these views are, it is almost impossible
teachers conform to them.
One word more. If German children
should thus not be overworked, much
more is it true of American children
The stimulation of the brain and nerv-
Gus energy in this country is something
terrible. And we must encourage the
physical in order to counteract this re-
suit of our social and political educa-
ton, by every rational means in our

Boston Wool Market.

The Advertiser, of Friday, says the receipts
for the week have been 3z2 bales, against 1000
bales for the corresponding week of last year
The sales comprise 663, 900 bs OF domestic, neece
and pulled and 494 bales and % 900 bs of foreign.
The demand for both fleece and pulled wool
during the past week has been light and al
though the market has been visited by goodly
number of manufacturers, yet their purchases
have been small With the exception of those
grades which are not to be found except In
small lots, manufacturers generally have falr
supply, and although the stock here is much
reduced, and the new clip is likely to be moved
money market and the depression Of woolens
restricts the sale of wool to small lots. Our re-
port of sales indicates that full prices have been
to move large lot of straight extra except at
some concession. The demand has been good
for all grades, but these descriptions that are
particularly scarce have been most wanted.

THE small-hat fraternity, who own and con-
troll the Democratic voters of Belmont County
like the slave-drivers of the South did theil
slaves in the halcyon of days Buchanan Democ-
racy, are enjoying the triumph they secured In
the election of last Fall. They strut and splurge
about the Public Buildings as if they owned
the whole county, debating who shall be ap-
pointed to position. who shall be prescribed,
who shall be patronized, as if they owned every
body and everything within the limits of the
county, whilst, in fact, they are the owners OF
neither brains, honesty, character. decency,
property, common sense, or anything else that
entities them to the respect or confidence of the
community. Already are these interlopers in
the ranks of the Democratic party, these scav-
engers that have been in and kicked out of every
other party because of their dishonesty who
now hang to the Democratic party because of
the supply of offal they obtain, at work farming
out the nominations of the next convention
Already they have determined who shall be the
candidate for Probate Judge. and who shall be
the candidate for Treasurer in place of Mr..
Irwin, who they are determined not 10 renomin-
ate because he is not dishonest enough to suit
their purposes.
Oh, how has the mighty fallen, when the
party that was once led by the Kennons, Pat

CARTS and Harts, has fallen into the hands of the
very scum of the Know Nothing party. Such
Leaders! DEMOCRATS must feel proud of
them!

The total receipts for the week were S93 cat
tle 1854 sheep and lambs and 4,0S5 hogs.
BEEF CATTLE.-The market this week has
been very M settled, and prices have huctuated
considerably. The light arrivals In the early
part of the week indicated short supply, and
as a consequence spectators bought up all the
droves as fast rs they arrived, and the result
was an advance of fully % cents p 100 fbs., but
this morning ii was ascertained that the supply
would be sufficient to meet the demand, and the
market opened dull, and at the close prices had
receded to those of last week. OF the arrivals
this week about l20 head were reshipped East
without being offered here, and the balance, to-
gether with about so head left over from last
week, comprised the offerings to-day, all of
which were sold. Wequote: Old cows and seal

ranged as follows: Fair to good sheep at 6@7c

FROM the Tuscarawas Chronicle we learn that
James A. Sterling, Of MarysviIle, Ohio, is about
to open private Banking House at Uurichs-
vile, to be known as the Farmers and Mer-

From the same paper we learn that subscrip-

Valley Railroad are being rapidly taken at New
Philadelphia, where the books are now open,
and that there is a bright prospect of the early
construction of the road from New Philadelphia
to.Dennison. We hope so.

THE effect of Republican reign is beginning &c
be felt In this scemmunity. The Sheriffon Mon.
day last, closed the store of Mr.. Eugene Nagle
and he has made an assignment for the benefit
of his creditors. When the people find IL dim
cult to raise money to pay their enormous taxes
to supply the wants Of Republican thieves In
Office, such things must be looked for.-[Gazette
Last year Mr.. Eugene Nagle paid license tsx
OF $40 to the general government, "to supply
the wants of Republican thieves in Office" and
he paid s7 local taxes Independent of his Pike
tax, to supply the wants of Democratic thieves
in Office. If Mr.. Nagle was forced to make an
assignment on account of his high taxes, we
apprehend the Democratic thieves in Office
who handle the road tax and the school taxes
are about as much responsible as any others.
We apprehend, however, that the taxes paid
by Mr.. Nagle were not the cause of his present
embarrassment. He was business man who
took pride in having fine, large stock of goods.
and kept on hand entirely too heavy a stock for
the trade of st. Clairsville. He has turned over
to his assignees larger and better stock of
clothing than can be found in any establish
ment in the State, outside of the cities, and
much larger stock than the trade of st. Clairs-
Vile ever required, and worth at cost enough to
pay all his Indebtedness, and leave him about
what he ought to carry at this season of the
year.
1t would be far more creditable to the editor
of the Gazette, to give reasonable solution to
business transactions, than to be constantly
looking at them through the green goggles of a
copperhead partisan, and striving to make po-
litical capital tor his dirty, treason-cursed,
State-Rights, secession party.

From the Pittsburgh papers of Tuesday.

F"fof" Of
CArrLE-There was q diminished number of
cattle on sale to-day, compared with last week
only six hundred head, and the difference in
quality was still greater. The market, in con-
sequence OF the limited supply, was a very stiff
one and holders experienced no difficulty in
realizing oil their cattle were worth, though we
DO not nemeve Iaat ina .ng AvShbage hg price was as

from to cents for prime 20 choice smooth fat
steers and to ~ for fair to medium do. Stock
steers may be quoted at to 8. as to quality.

THE BOUNTY LAw.-We publish Cd the out
side the Bounty Law, passed at the recent ses-
sion of Congress. It will be seen that it is
merely and amendment to the Additional
Bounty law of 1885, defining who shall receive
that bounty in certain cases. and fixing a time
when it will cease to be paid.
Certain Shysters in the Bounty business have
been sending out circulars telling soldiers that
an additional bounty had been allowed, and
advising them to send their discharges to them
at once and they would collect 1t; their object
being, evidently, to get possession of these dis
charges-for what reason we cannot tell-and
in some cases have succeeded. We advise all
soldiers to keep possession of their own dis
charges until they are sure they have a claim
for collection, and where they have been in
duced to part with them ON the false represen-
tation OF Claim Agents we advise them to de-
mand their immediate return.
