Mr.. EDITOR Il belong to that unfor-
| tunate class OF human beings called boy
School Teachers who so lately came in
range of that terrible Meme masked
battery, the.guns of which are loaded,
sighted, and fired, by that skillfnl politi-
| cal artillerist Tweezers. Those political
| offenders such as Poor Commissioners,
Sherifs and their deputies, those who
have bribed delegates and those delegates
who have taken small brides, those who
have offered brides to voters, and othese
voters who have sold their manhood for
paltry sums; those who have been dire
lect in official duty or corrupt in handling
county funds; all these, having felt the
sting of ''Tweezer's' pen, will know how
to pity us poor beardless youths now
that he has turned his guns upon US, and
will expect to see US routed, horse, foot,
and Dragon.
Why he has turned his guns upon us,
know not, when the smoke clears away
we will run up white falg, and see upon
what terms we can surrender. l for one,
am willing to surrender upon the follow
ing terms.
1st.-The new Superintendent shall
call for ''Tweezers" to meet me in an ex-
animation to be held by himself. This
examination to be in Higher Arithmetic
Algebra, American History, Universal
History, English Grammar, and Geogra
ply, and if my numbers or credits do not
equal his, then [ will spike my guns,
break camp and retire,
2d-If he teaches, and rumor says he
has gained no small reputation in that oc-
cupation, then [ propose that the new
Superintendent shall visit his school and
then visit mine IF the government of
my school. the exertions to secure the IN
terest of parents and guardians are not
equal to his, then [ will retire till my
beard grows, till age and experience shall
better qualify me for this truly response
bic position.
Still the question arises in my mind,
why has he attacked us? Is it because
we arc not out of our teens? The Hon.
Harrison G. Hobart was boy teacher,
Gen. Banks was boy teacher. One Of
our greatest statemen Salmon p. Chase
was also boy teacher.
And now ''Tweezers, one word before
[ close, if these boy teachers that you
speak of are found by the new Supcrin-
tendent incompetent to teach or to gov
ern a school, ] most heartily hope that
they will be ''ousted" and that compe-
tent persons shall fill their places; nor
should this be confined to boy teachers,
but everyone that is incompetent. be he
beardless or not, should be dismissed.

ANOTHER LECTURE. copy the
following Local from the Oshkosh City

justly expressed animates us the more
to call the attention of our Citizens

to Manitowoc sometime next January

As we have had the pleasure of an &C
luaintance with Col. Robinson for over
wenty years,.we can safely promise one
the richest literary treats we ever have
ad in this village. All who will come
hear the Colonel will certainly find

from personal observation, and being

associate the past and present in ais de-

give unusal interest to his lecture. We
cannot do the subject justice in the brief

tent ourself with thanking Col. r. for
the very agreeable and instructive enter

OUR CHICAGO LETTER.
CHICAGO, DEC. 23d. 1865


During last week the health officer aba
ted $50 nuisances. There were also on
ly 81 deaths during that time. Thus you
will perceive that although aoe hare lost,
we have gained. We can afford to lose
still more. The Chicago river may we'll
bs styled great blessing and disgust
ing nuisance. Just now, however, it is
covered with few inches of ice so that
it has been abated both as blessing and
a nuisance. But we do not care about
losing our river as a blessing-only as
nuisance, and if that health officer could
only succeed in abating 1t as a nuisance,
he would have, lin effect abated about
nine hundred and ninety nine of the one
thousand with which Chicago is now in
ficted. We are in hope, that, in year
fiom this time, we will be sharing our
blessings &C., with our neighbors to the
South and West of us, by shipping them
through the canal that is now in process
of making.
The report of Com missioner Wells is
affecting the editors of our city papers,
which are now each day occupied with
editorials and editorial comments upon
that expensive statement of the facts and
figures of our national resources and
finances. There is material in it for ed
itoriais from all the dailies in the country
for the next thirty days, and then but
few Of them would haye used-up their
subject even though they might have ex-
hausted their scribeS. The vast amount
of information contained in it ought to be
spread unsparingly before the people, by
the public papers.
But | must get back to my text-Chi-
cago. Whatever little diversion my pen

For THE TRIBUNE.
THE TEETH AND THEIR PRESERTA-
TION.
CONCLUDED.

CONCLUDED.
| When Carries has taken place but
slightly, so that only small cavity i.
formed, the dentist will tell you,it should
be filled, and this is right for the reason,
that by removing the decayed portion te
be supplied by gold foil, you thereby
remove one very eficinet, if not the chiel
cause of further decay. 1t is well known,
that any portion of the body, or anything
else perishable, Undergoing decomposi-
ton, always acts very injuriously upon
the sound and healthy structure with
which it lies in contact, tending to bring
about the Same change or changes in
the latter, that are going on in the form
er. But when filling is deemed advisa-
Bile and accordingly resorted to. the gold
foil should invariably be used, if the best
work is desired, and no amalgam, as the
latter after time corrodes, and the
tooth, sooner or later, has to be refilled.
Again, gold may be employed, and unless
the work is skillfully performed, an
equally signal failure will be the result.
However if decay has gone On to very
considerable extent, so that compari-
lively large proportion of the organ
has become disintegrated, especially if it
be accompanied with pain Though this
perhaps may be obviated by destroying
the nerve) filling will be entirely unavai!-
ing or even fruitless and then, as a
dernier resort, extraction, SO terrifying to
most minds, becomes the only alterna-
tive. Although, as we have stated, the
teeth, do rot increase in length in the
adult, but rather become shorter by
attrition, especially if much tobacco is
chewed, yet it sometime happens in old
people, that in consequence of atrophy
of the gums and a shrinking of them
away from the teeth, the latter become
apparently heightened. and the unob-
serving world scarcely detect the fallacy,
but really suppose them to be growing.
Again, according to law of physiology,
that wherever a member or any part of
it, looses it's vitality or life and becomes
useless, no longer serving the purposes
Of the organism. nature sets up pro-
cess by which it is removed. Hence
when these useful appendages cease
their function or literally die of old age,
as may everything that has life, slow,
gradual but sure process Of removal is
established by which dense, calcarious
subtance is deposited in the bottom of
the alveoli, and ultimately, if not
interfered with. they would be raised or
lifted entirely out, and thus be trown off,
Therefore, as will readily be seen, after
this process commences, their length ap-
parently slowly increases, and this often
takes lace to such an extent, as to seem
exceedingly unnatural, and even in some
cases, particularly where few teeth only
remain, and these very scattering, they
become exceedingly annoying. x.
