Two young men went to Perkins' stable
Yesterday and hired team and carriage for
the purpose Of taking trip to Sammitvills.
Before starting two Of the fair sex were per
suaded without much effort, for anght We
know to accompany them. ToSummitville
and so far back q Kurs' artesian we'll, the
journey was successfully accomplished. Bul
here the party came to halt. We might di
gress here in . periphrastic manner and
speculate and conjecture ~ TO their object in
stopping without finally arriving 1t any def
mite or satisfactory conclusion. Kurz has .
brewery and manufactures beer, and it would
be nothing more than natural for one to sup
pose that they stopped for the purpose Of i'm
hibing little Of that beverage, but then We
can't even 20 much ~ intimate anything OF
that kind, without casting reflections upon
moral regulations that may be established ~
good beyond tho question Of successful
denial.
Knrz has . bath. house, too, and they may
have stopped to battle, but W don't know
that to be the case.
Be that - il may, however, they all quit
ted the carriage, leaving the horses, very
carelessly, without first having secured them
in the ordinary way. Tho result WAS thai
the horses started of, - most horses would
and - there was nothing to prevent them
from demolishing the carriage, they did %
about - completely, too, - did ever runa-
way team dsmolish vehicle. They ran
down Main street to Fifth, whore they turned
and came down Johnson to Third. Here
they came TO stand-still, having left piece,
Of the carriage ct irregular intervals I'll slona
be route.
This bit Of experience will cost the young
msa round sum, and If they don't profit b
il hereafter nobody will be responsible bu
themselves. This il not the team that rat
away few days ago. Mr.. Perkins has with
drawn that one from his line Of public cal
riages, and does not propose using il AM
more in that way.

School Registers.

Nothing is of more Importance in keep
ing accounts than n6atzes8, and to no class
of individuals is the quality more necessary
than to teachers The manner In which
many Registers are kept, redectsyery lit
tie credit upon the teachera | am
not censuring the 1orjtfng of the teacher,
for in one case of a dozen perhaps, he is
excusable for that, but it is. the manner in.
which the scholars account has been kept
Quite often the teacher has used lead
pencil to mark the attendance, percent Of
recitations, etc Now any one who has
had the experience necessary to qualify
himself for a teacher must be aware ofthe
manner in which the marks Of a soft lead
pencil Will spread about, and render the
page a very unpleasant sight. Even
farther than this have seen a Register
where the teacher had used the cages al
ready flied with accounts, for scribbling
paper, on which to work examples, &c
But what brought this subject wildly to
my Ullllli at Luis tllHe, WAS inc CoHetICIOAi
of set Of Adams and Blackmer's Books
which recently came under my notice
Without attempting to prove the merit OF
this set of books, shall from the TACT that
they have been purchased by many dis
tricts in the county, assert that it is The
teachers duty to carefully and correctly
keep them The reasons for this statement
are numerous, and obvious First they
are a neat, and extensive work; second
they will remain open for the inspection
of the public for many years to come
Justice to the pupil, then, requires tfa
his record be fair, honest and impartial.
As for the teacher himself, he must b.
wellacquainted with the fact, that stranger
will judge Of him, to very great degree
by the manner in which he kept his reg
lister, and as the exultant official in tim'
to come, points to those pages, 50 neat
and clean, he will add, and that % jus
the aOay he aid eo0rything."
