1t may be supposed that if interest were
diminished to one per cent, property and
labor would rise 10 the same proportion, and
therefore, the producing classes would re-
ceive no benefit from the reduction. But
whether property should rise, or fall, or
maintain its present price, producers would
have the s. me relative advantage; th cir gain
would from the lessened per eentage on
capital. II a a man borrowed a hundred
dollars for year, be would pay but one dol
lar for the use of one hundred, instead Of
paving seven dollars. If re hired hun
dred acres OF land, be would have to earn
only one acre to pay for the use Of one hun-
bred, instead " being obliged TO earn seven

cipal Of the adequate reward VI labor, by
the decrease Of the interest on money, all

calculated az six dollars per day, and the in

Silver, or Silver Plated Ware it has
no equal, as we have tried everything

2,448 children have been enrolled in
our Public Schools. thus far, during
the present school year-a very
fattering increase over last year.
There are also eleven pupil teach
ers attending the training school,
which is rapidly becoming an
important feature in our public
school system. and promises to result
in great good. Most of these are
graduates Of our High School, and in
case of the sudden illness of any
teacher, or upon the occurrence of
any other emergency, substitute can
be at once secured from the training
school. 1t is the object, and highly
commendable one. too, of the Super
intendent and the School Board, if
possible, to train up a sufficient num-
Der of efficient teachers-our own
citizens-to take the entire charge of
the schools. In addition to the very
fattering number Of pupils already
enrolled, there are, We are sorry to say,

attend no school, and who are grow

many Of them in vice. The greatest
wrong parents can do their children
is to neglect their education.

PUBLIC LECTURE.-By an advertise
ment in our Local Notice column it
viii be seen that Mrs. It. E. w. Har-
per will deliver public lecture, for
the benefit of the African Methodist
Church, taking as her theme "Our
New Citizens-the work before us"
As the object is worthy, the enter
tainment somewhat novel, and the
price of admission only twenty-five
cents, the attendance will doubtless
be large. We have before us copious
extracts from Eastern papers which
speak in the highest terms of her in
telligenco and eloquence. The Ban
gor Wing says: 1.-THE lecture was of
high order of talent, and was receiv-
ed with much favor" The Philadel-
phia North american says of the
lecturer: "She is certainly gifted
with the power of oratory." The
Worcester Transcript says: In logi-
cal aeumen, beauty of rhetoric, pure

ANOTHER CURIosITY.-Our thought
full and considerate friend, Mr.. Seth
Coolidge, Of the great dry goods house
of J. T. & S. A. Coolidge, has sent US
a sweet potato, which bears re-
markable resemblance to a pig. Its
neck, head and snout are perfectly
formed, and its body resembles a we'll
conditioned pig, with handsomely
curling tail. It lacks only the ears
and legs to be complete. It is great
curiosity, and We add it. with pride
and thankfuluess, to our unrivaled
cabinet.
