port deer plenty in Knox County,

TEACHERS IssPITUTE-The num-
Ter Of persons in attendance at the
District Teachers Institute. on Sat
urday. was quite large, and a very
interesting session was had Il variety
of interesting matters we're discussed
in manner calculated to benefit the
members OF the Institute. The ques-
ton Of oral and written spelling ex-
cited considerable debate, and it was
held that all teachers SHOULD combine
the two, and have scholars to write as
well as spell The words.
The subject OF composition was
very well handled by j. n. Mcclure,
and he demonstrated his theories in
most practical manner ont the black
board. He devoted considerable
attention in regard to proper punctu-
alton, and the use Of capital letters.
These two latter points, we are sure,
are worth considerable attention.
Weskw a letter, written but short
time ago, bya teacher. in which about
half the words were capitalized,
without reference to the words being
proper names or the beginning of
sentences. The question Of spelling
also. deserves great atteation We
were shown letter only few days
ago, written in a beautiful hand, but
the spelling was simply awful"
We would rather see good spelling
than good penmanship, although both
are equally desirable.
The subject of Primary Geography
was presented by Miss L. E. Wyttep-
bach. and she explained her method
ofteaehing classes in this branch of
study, which was coneurred 10 as be.
ing an excellent modo.s
The following programme was pre-
scented by the Executive COMMITTEES,
for the exercises at next meeting:
History-SamueI Wyttenbach.
Proportion-Philip S. Baker.
Relative Pronoun-Preston Ewing.
Philip S. Baker. j. Wyttenbach
and Miss Hattie Durham were ap-
pointed by the Chair as the Executive
Committee for the next two months.

SALE OF ST. CLOUD HoTEL.-H.
Gumberts sold on Saturday, the st.
Cloud Hetel, at auction. The sale
was not very largely attended. and
this fine property was purchased by
Mrs Harrington. one of the heirs, for
the small sum Of 81 $50. This was
regarded as small price for the prop
erty, and the real estate would
probably have sold for more money,
if there had been no improvements
upon it. The fact is, money is so
tight this Fall, that spectators can
not raise funds to invest largely.

cupied as 3 residence by Mrs. Har-
rington. being twenty-five feet front

EMIGRATION TO VIRGINIA.-As an evil
dence of the future prosperity of Virginia,
it is stated that the Austrian agent of Mr..
Emil M. Won AlpenburT, who has founded
an Austrian colony below Richmond, has
written to him that Swiss gentleman wants
to settle in the mountain region of Virginia
with some two hundred Swiss families now
ready to emigrate. The Austrian journals
have published number Of letters written
by colonists from that country who have
settled near Richmond, in all of which they
speak in the highest terms of the lands, eli
mate, productions, &c. These letters have
attracted much attention abroad, and will
doubtless divert immigration to that State.
The acquisition of several thousand emf
grants of this class with their families will
serve as nucleus for very many thrifty
colonists.
We understand that efforts are being
made by prominent parties interested in
the welfare Of the German cmigrants of
favorably presenting to this class the innu-
merable advantages of settling in the south
ern States. The result, we can readily anti
cipate, will be an increase of the population
of the southern seaboard States, and the
establishment of large colonies of emigrants
in this section of the country Washington

Too Bad,

It will be seen from the following letter
TINT some of our readers hold us RESPONSE
BILE for the advertisements which appear in
our columns. Our correspondent condemns
us unheard. He is {" every day becoming
"more convinced that We do not know any
"thing about human nature" We are
too He also says that we have n very poor
opinion of the country people. In this he
il totally mistaken. We think that the
country people are the salt of the earth and
whilst we have nothing to say against our
city girls, who seem to us to be perfectly
charming, we are willing to endorse oil that
our correspondent says of the rosy cheeks,
beauty, manners, &c, of the country lasscs.
When he tells us, however, that we "have
taken the wrong step to sell the balsam,' -
we are go overwhelmed with q sense of the
injustice done to us that we drop our pen.
"FoRKUNIoN, FLUyANNA.
"M. Editor: Dear Sir,-I am every
day becoming more convinced that you do
not know anything about human nature, and
also see you have very poor opinion OF
the country people. see in one of your
advertisements balsam of some kind for
identifying the skin and making ugly
pretty, and seem to be surprised that every.
body desiring beauty does not use it, as q
common country rustic can so easily be
made city belle. Now, you have taken
the wrong step to sell the balsam, as am
sure there are few country ladies who de.
sire to look or act like city bellies, as, in
beauty or behavior, they far excel the city
bellies.
''The city bellies may paint, powder, and
paste, and hide themselves with dry goods
and gaudy fashions until fine feathers make
fine birds. l have travelled nearly all tho
time from sixteen to thirty-six years of age
and been in goodly number of large
cities, but never have seen the beauty il
cities that l have in the country. In thu

CHINESE LABoR.-The shoemakers Of
Stonington, Ct., have passed resolutions
disappearing of the introduction OF Chinese
laborers into the United States, and have
prepared petition on the subject to the
President, which is to be signed by all the
laboring men of the country. s
This is just what every thinking man
might have foreseen. The laboring men of
the country, of all classes and colors, will
be found arrayed in deadly hostility to the
Chinese whenever the latter reach here in
any considerable numbers. zs. ..
Have we not discordant elements enough
in this country without introducing such q
frebrand as Chinese coolies or laborers?
A few few months ago we were told the
Chinese would be delighted to work on our
rice-felds at ten cents per day. Mr.. Koop-
manschaap Tor whatever his name isl now
says they must have eight to twelve dollars
per month and rations. Still we do not
propose to combat the argument that the
Chinese will work for reduced wages, for
we believe if they should oyerrun our
country they would find it necessary to do
SO on account of competition. But we can
only sec in this wild scheme another source
of trouble and disaster. Perhaps expe-
rience may prove the reverse brt
give somebody else the pl"c =. let us
the experiment." .---esure of trying
