IPhilosophicaI Plan.

In this Seminary we have been led to a.Jop.
the Philosophic plan of each Professor and Ms
class devotlng their whole time and energies to
single study, until completed. We have been
led 10 this by seeing so mzny students
disheartened, or rendered superficial. by being
required to carry forward three or four studies
at the same time. Then each Professor was re-
quired to hear so many recItations and the time
was SO broken up tnat IL was out of the question
10 give each subject and each pupil the reouired
attention. In introducing this method We ex-
pected TO be able to MAX our Glasses rnucb nnore

Gle, without any expectation of keeping
it longer than year or two, or until
something else would present itself more
ssngenial to my feelings. have, how
ever, kept possession of it and now, at
the commencement of my ninth year,
1 think more of it, and like the business
of editing and publishing it better than
I did when purchased it. How long I
shall continue in. possession of it de-
pends entirely On how much shall be
able to extend its circulation, increase
its influence, and make it profitable
It's circulation should be nearly twice as
great as it is; and in county like Bel
mont, 1t only needs to have the interest
of few leading men in each township
to give it that circulation. Its circula-
ton is rapidly increasing sinceeits en-
largement and is now greater than ever
before at the commencement of the vol
ume, but still very much below what it
ought to be. By devoting my entire
time and attention to its publication, 1
hope to increase its influence for good,
as well as make it more interesting to
the general reader. Can have, will 1

RETRENcHMENT.-Tb members of
the Ohio Legislature have resolved in
favor Of spending four days out of every
two weeks at home. The object of this
movement is to curtail expenses to the
State by saving the amount necessary
to warm and light up the Legislative
Halls. The only expense the State will
be at is the per diem of members. 1t is
thought that this fine stroke of policy
will save large amount toithe State,
and will also relieve the members from
the payment of boarding bills during
their stay at home, making their dive
dollars per day paid by the State clear
gain. Wise statesmen ~

BOTH RIGHT,

The Columbus Journal and Cincinnati
Gazette each has special theory on the
subject Of our financial affairs by the
adop ton of which our whole moni-
tary difficulty could be settled at once.
The Journal thinks the plan of the Ga
zette is a very silly affair, and the Ga
zette thinks the Journals plan is about
as shallow as saucer. The readers OF
both papers begin to think these opin-
ions about right on both sides.

rHE MATIOHAL ROAD.

Since our last issue we sec that Capt.
AnAerssn, who ably represents Guern-
- county In the Ohio Legislature, has
introdnced . bill to authorize the pay
msnt for the GAINESVILLE Free Bridge to
b made cut ofthe. General Revenue fund
Of the State, instead of out of the ma
tional road fund. If the State must buy
bridges for our Democratic neighbors of
GAINESVILLE it would be much more fair
and honorable to pay for them out OF
the State funds assessed and collected
all over the State. than to COMPEL a
few counties to pay the money by TAX
ing the pay cut of the national road
fund. Either method is wrong, but the
former one is not 50 oneIous because the
burden is placed on more shoulders
We have very little hope, however, that
this bill will pass, and We advise our
people to meet and if possible take steps
to prevent this contemplate robbery Of
the Road funds. 1t is your only RENE
dy. If these bridges are paid for out Of
the tolls of this road, then the road will

PUNISHMENT IN NSCHooLs.-Twoy years

of Education of Saratoga, n. Y. passed a
resolution prohibiting all forms of cor

The right to infiict corporal punish
