Our Public school system Decayed.

The following, from the Smyrna Times,
exhibits plainly the lamentable lack of
earnestness shown by our people with re-
spect to the public schools. This is the
case throughout most of the State, and it is
condition greatly to be regretted. Our
public school system is antiquated, decayed,
and unsuitcd to the time. There is not any
systematic education, of thorough charac-
ter, provided for the children of our State,
and yet the people do not exhibit any warm
desire to effect reform. The Times says
THE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION. The
Kent County Teachers Association CON
vened in this town, at the Seminary, on
Thursday last, but was almost failure,
owing to the slim attendance. The " faith
ful few, {" however, transacted such business
as came before them, Prof. Bean, of this
town, acting as chairman, and Mr.. Super,
Secretary. Prof Bechtel, the permanent
president, having left the State, resigned the
position. He was present, however. Prof.
Bean read an essay, Thursday, and Prof.
q. W. Super, on Friday evening, to small
audiences. There is no interest manifested
in this move by the people generally, or
even by teachers. 1t Is only the few who
have adopted teaching as profession that
really take any aggressive movement in the
catise of education in the State, because,
being In practical relations with the schools,
they see and feel the defects We are laboring
under. 1t is q shame that the work for re-
formation Is confined to such narrow limits,
but It's true"

PRosPEcTs FOR TIE FALL TRADE IN Bos
ToN.-The Boston 1ravetler, of recent
date, says: Everything now indicates a
healthy fall trade, with a largely increased
volume of business. The crops throughout
the country have scarcely ever averaged bet
ter, both in quantity and quality. The sur
plus of grain must be immense, and to meet
this there is a prospect OF large foreign
demand. The Southern staples, other than
grain tobacco, cotton and sugar, have q
great yield over any season foryears. There
is no longer a doubt as to the ability Of the
South, under its new regime, to pay for all
il buys; and when we take into consiGera-
tion II fact generally overlooked, that the
Southern States are being rapidly peopled
by new order of men, who aim to make
improvement tell, there can be little doubt
that the Southern trade of SGD will approach
very nearly to that of 1859.
There is certainly more confidence felt
among Eastern merchants as to the solvency
of the West and Ssuth than for many years
past, while the internal improvements,
stretching in every direction, and opening
up new territory both for agriculture and
minerals, present the most fiatiering induce
ments for immigration, which, of course,
will add greatly to the demand of our man
utucturing products,

not until the clothing was almost entirely

THE Co1ToN CRop OF lS69.-A New Or
leans paper, referring to the estimate we
made Of the cotton crop, admits that there
are three millions of bales grown this year.
but doubts that it can all be gathered. Now
while we agree with the writer that more
labor is needed in the Southern States, we
think that cotton at twenty-five cents q
pound and upwards the people will not allow
it to rot on the ground. They will, doubtless,
make an extraordinary effort to gather the
whole Of this precious treasure, and if the
negro labor proves inadequate, the white
pcople--the planters themselves, with their
wives, sons and daughters-will go to work.
The Southern people have learned the value
of industry and economy since they plunged
into the war aud since the war ended, and
have shown too much enterprise to improve
their fortunes within the last few years TO
admit the opinion that they will lose part
OF their valuable crop Throughout using their
own hands in labor. No, we expect to see
the whole three millions of bales gathered
and three hundred millions of dollars or
thoreabouts realized for the crop. This will
make the South rich again, and we cordially
congratulate our fellow citizens of that sec
tion on the splendid prospect before them.-

custom lays it and custom pays it. So when
you are told the room is two shillings, you
are told ib. Another shilling or mole is

The Ballad OF a Baker.

Joe Brown he was baker-man,
A baker-man was Joe;
He ne'er was known to want for aurht.
And yet he kneaded dough.
And he was rugged. hearty. too,
And had long life leased,
And all because he rose up with
His early rising yeast.
To never cheat his customers
This man was early taught;
And yet his loayes were always light,
And his pie.crust rather short.
And he was gen'rous hearted too.
And kind unto the needy,
Aud neat and tasty in his dress,
Although his cakes were scedy.
With him no one dared handy jokes,
When Ger he sought the marts,
For well they knew his repartecs
Were sharper than his tarts.
And while say his skill was great
In getting up muffin.
His pastry Allied the mouths OF all
And needsne further putin.
'Tis said he was temperance man;
Ifso, can't tell why
Ho mixed with wheat and cornmcal too.
A tride Of the rye
When age at last o'ert.ok the man,
His frame grew weak and sore,
And like the cakes he used to bake,
His head was frosted DER.
And when he died all mourned his loss,
With no sectarian bias.
For he had been friend to all,
good man and a pie-ous.

Beneath this crust OF upheayed earth,
A wsllbred baker lies;
And like the rolls he used to mould,
We hope at last he'll rise.

The correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph says:-
"Our summer tourists are returning to
their homes, and the city is beginning now
to fill up. The fall trade has set in quite
briskly, and the railroads are transacting a
large business. Much has been induced by
the extraordinary reduction in the rates Of
freight of the four great competing roads,
which at the present time are carrying
freights SO low that the western merchants
are eagerly availing themselves of the ep-
portunity to lay in their stock of goods. The
river front of the city also looks very busy,
and, notwithstanding the croaking about
dull times, the business transactions on its
banks 60 on as vigorously as ever. We have
had much larger number of tourist visitors
sojourning in this city lately than is usual,
and there appears to be some interest felt in
the city from all parts of the country. It is
believed by real estate men that the regular
growth of the city will fill up all the surplus
stock of houses, of which so much has been
said in the daily papers, before next spring :;
so that those who are holding off in expec-
tation OF lower prices, will be apt to be mis-
taken. The announcements that have been
sent abroad to all parts of the country con-
cerning the stagnation of the real estate busi-
ness in Philadelphia, is having its legitimate
result in bringing people into the city. The
extraordinary rise In the rents of stores on
business streets is having its effect In driving
business concerns into other streets, and
changing the character of many parts of the
