FIRE AT WILTON.-Some Of our citi-
zens who were rash enough to be up
and upon the lookout an hour or two
before daylight, Monday morning, oh
served what appeared to be large fire
in the direction Of Wilton. From Tues
day mornings Davenport Gazette, we
learn that fire was discovered at about
two O'Clock Monday morning in the
building known as Reeds Elevator by
which it was totally destroyed. Several
thousand bushels Of grain were in the
bins, much of which was saved by OPEN
ing the conductors and allowing it to
run out upon the ground, whence it was
conveyed in buckets, tubs, &c. to a
place of safety. The adjoining elevator
owned by J. J. Rider was only saved by
great exertion Oh the part of the citizens;
and the probabilities are that if the
wind had been from the south instead
of north, no means at hand would have
availed to save the town from general
dDn1lagration. The total loss upon the
building and contents is estimated at
between eight and fifteen thousand dol
lars, on which there was insurance to
the amount Of $4,000, including 5000
in the National Insurance Co. of Day.

but supposed by some to have been in

Gone MORE UNFoRrUNArE."- "a mel
ancholy case of suicide by hanging oc-
Cured in our quiet little town on Fri
day afternoon Of last week. One Peter,
a member of family living on Linn
street was the victim Of his own rash
act. The last time seen in life he was
playing about the trunk of a box elder
tree; but so well did he disguise the
terrible thoughts that must have been
raging in his breast, that no suspicion
of his fell intention was aroused and
the first intimation his friends received
of the anguish which must have long
been preying upon his peace of mind was
the discovery of his body, stark and
stiff in death, suspended by the neck to
limb of the tree aforesaid. Peter was
a nice kitten, and little did his mistress
think when she fastened ribbon about
his graceful neck that he would so soon
make Of it a hangman's rope.

Our Present Public School S,stem,-All

we hear speak Of it, who have opportunities
OF Judging, unite in condemning the pres
ent loose system of Public Schools as the
worst conceivable. The creature has no
head, and consequently no order or system
worthy of the name.
One trick practiced by some of the teach
ers who follow the vocation of teaching for
its, emoluments solely, is to get as many
children into their schools as possible,
without regard to whether they purpose at
tending school as pupils. Once in the
school-room, if it's only to attend few
days or even hours, it is all sufficient for the
teachers purpose. He fills up his list of
names stretching it out as large as possible
so that his salary may be raised, and as
sistants employed. Some schools we are
informed run their lists up in this manner
till they show nearly double the number of
pupils their schools actually have a right
to claim. Another trick practiced by i'll
competent applicants for certificates as
teachers from the board is to ascertain by
managing what questions are required by
the Board that candidates shall answer. and
also the proper answers. This knowledge
once obtained, the leastqualifieds sail through
with flying colors. A system SO imperfect
as to admit Of such practices is virtually no
system at all, but rather hinderance to
the cause of education.
1t was backward step in the cause of
education which established the present
school system in place of the one it super
seeded, and was intended, by the enemies of
public education to be a retrograde move
ment. The destinies of the State had been
contided to men who cling to dead issues
and discarded systems, and their works are
now condemning them.

ance in Baltimore on Monday last
Breckenridge remained in the United

drawing his pay and treaeherously un-
der the guise Of q Senator from Ken
lucky aiding the rebels. After having
done the government which protected
him, all the harm in his power, he
sneaked off and joined the rebel army.
He now sneaks back shielded by the
pardon of our apostate President. OF
all others, such double-dyed Williams
should have been made to stretch
hemp. When the position they oc-
cupied in connection with the govern
ment is considered, the blackness of
their treachery is inconceivable.

NORTH EAST ITEMS.

ExAMINATIoN-The Public School,
in charge of Rev. H. G. Shippers, had
an interesting examination of pupils,
on Thursday, the 2Sth ult. The schol-
ars acquitted themselves creditably, re-
fecting favorably on the teachers. The
said school was re-opened On Monday
last, with the same corps of teachers,
viz Rev. II. G. Shippers, Principal,
and Misses Mary D. Way and Bell
Galbraith, Assistants.
ELECTION OF OFFIcERs.-The Good
Templars elected and installed, last
week, for the ensuing quarter, the fol-
lowing officers, vix j. W. Campbell,
Wet; Miss Annie Foster, WIT;
James Lum, VS.; j. V. Thompson,
WIS., Charles Z. Hayes, W.T.; T.
w. Rowland, VIM; John A White,
VIC; Miss Matte Thomas, WIG,
Wilbur F. Shippers, w O.G.; Miss Ella
Hill, W.RHS.; Miss Lizzie Thompson,
Willis. This temperance society is
doing good work. We wish it still
greater success.
Fox CHAsE.-Quite an excitement
was created here, on Thursday, the 4th
inst, by q lively fox chase. Reynard
was first let loose near the point, and
pursued by hunters and dogs till cap
tured in the Neck, when he was brought
back to town. Being killed in the
hunt, be was now dragged, by flying
horseman, through the length of Main
street, when the dogs were put on the
scent, again, and ran with eager avid
ity, amid the shoutings of the witness
ing multitude. Eive la bagatelle!
BLOODY BATTLE-Twolo loyal subjects
of the old Tyrant, Alcohol, honored
their master, by an exhibition of pug
nacious gymnastics, in our streets, one
day last week. that would have done
credit to couple of Choctaws. They
were gloriously drunk, and fought like
ours, till covered with blood and filth,
to the disgust of soberness and decencv.
There was, as usual, no cause for the
rencounter.
GoNE.-We referred two weeks since
to the removal of the Rev. l.. II. Jack
son, Rector of North East Parish, from
that town to Port Deposit. This re-
moval finally transpired the beginning
of the present week. Mr.. jackson,
however, retains charge of the church
in the former place. He will be greatly
missed in North East.
BUILDING AssoCIATIoN-Am meeting
was held in the Hall, on last Wednes-
day evening, for the purpose of organ
izing Building Association. r. l..
Thomas, President, and Jno. McCracken
acted as Secretary. Stock was readily
subscribed by those who were present.
A committee was appointed to draft a
constitution and bylaws for the gov
eminent of the society, to be presented
at next meeting, which will be in the
same place, on next Wednesday night,
the 18th inst We know of nothing
better than such associations for the
pecuniary benefit of working men. Let
us have them established everywhere.

In the Senate, on Monday, Mr.. Sherman
presented memorial asking the recogni-
ton Of the Supreme Being in the Constitu-
ton, and said it was remarkable that there
was no such mention in that Instrument
These petitions, he said, had lately been
presented in large numbers; they came
from the religious people Of the country,
and in view of the special favors which, as
q nation, we had lately received at the
hands of Providence, it seemed to him
peculiarly fitting that the Judiciary Com
mittee should now take the subject into
consideration and report provision. The
resolution offered on Saturday by Mr.. Ed
munds, permitting the counting Of the
vote of Georgia for President and Vice
President, and at the same time reciting
that it did not affect the result of the cleo
ton, was adopted, after considerable de-
bate, by a vote of thirty-four in its favor
TO eleven against it. The House amend
ment relative to suffrage was then taken
up, and speeches were made for and against
it to the time of adjournment. 1t was
again debated at the night session.
In the House of Representatives Mr..
Miller introduced joint resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the Constitution
of the United States so as to allow the
qualified voters of the respective States to
vote directly for President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, and in case of
tie vote the election to be by Congress
from the two candidates having the high
est number of votes. Mr.. Selye introduced
a joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the Constitution, 80 as to provide
that Senators shall hereafter be elected by
direct vote of the people, and increasing
the term of Representatives. to four years.
Both propositions were referred to the
Judiciary Committee. A large number of
new bills and resolutions were offered and
referred to appropriate committees. The
Senate's amendments to the Copper Tariff
bill were concurred in, and the bill now
goes to the President for his signature
The Military Appropriation bill was de-
bated during the balance of the session.
