The LAUNCH.-On last Thursday af-
ternoon, agreeably to the notice given in
THE TRIBUNE, the vessel recently built
by Mr.. E. Packard, was launched from
Ship Yard Point. At Al o'clock the
ropes were cut, and this model of strength
and beauty slid gracefully off the ways,
and was resting on the bosom of the Mani
towoc river. When she struck the water
the flag at her mast head displayed the
Nance. L. Johnston-and although
VIC don't know who was thus honored,
yet if its namesake is as handsome as the
vessel. we ompliment the person on being
decidedly good looking. The vessel had
her spars and some rigging on when
launched, and so will soon be ready for
active service. Her dimensions are as
follows: Length of keel 100 feet; over
all, $50 feet; breadth of beam, % feet
depth of hold feet, and has carrying
capacity of $4,000 bushels. Mr.. Pack
ard deserves credit for getting out such a
craft, and we hope she will prove source
of wealth TO her enterprising owners,
Messrs. Peter Johnston & Co.

DRowNED.-It is with regret that we
record the death, by drowning, on Sun
day last, of Henry, the young son of
Mr.. Adam Bleser. It seems that while
fishing from Schuette's Dock, on the
South side, he fell into the water, and
before assistance could reach him he was
drowned. The unfortunate boy was a
bright little fellow, aged 10 years, and we
assure his afflicted relatives that they
have the sympathy of our citizens in their
great trial

A NOTICEABLE FAcT-That one way
of appealing to man reason is through
his eye. In these busy times men are
so deeply immersed in the conduct of
magnificent projects, that they forget all
about the condition of their systems, and
hence it is that the Proprietors of the
Plantation Bitters, which cures Dyspep-
STA, purifes the blood, improves the tone
of the stomach, regulates the bowels. and,
indeed, invigorates the whole inner man,
are so active in advertising In fact, adj
vertisements are merely sky-rockets sent
up to attract attention to really good

THE CARBON LAMP. CAPT j. C.
Goodrich of the 1st Wisconsin gave us a
call yesterday and exhibited to us a new
patent lamp without wick or chimney
which gave splendid light burning with
fan shaped fame equal in volume
and steadiness to the best coal gas. The
material used in the consumption is mex
pensive; as burned in the lamp, in no
circumstances explosive; is used without
Wick or chimney; has neither smoke or
smell; will not run or drip from the lamp
even if reversed with the top removed ;
and will not, under any circumstances,
endanger health, life or property.
The Captain wants to sell the patent
right to some enterprising man for this
and two or three other counties, and it is
our honest conviction that whoever goes
into it, will make money. TIE captain
stops at the Windiate House.

For THE TRIBUNE.
TEACHERS AND TEACHING.

While Arithmetic, Grammar, and the
ordinary common school studies must
ever be taught in our common schools,
still, it should be remembered that these
things are far from being all which
should be taught there.
The object Of education is not only to
store the mind with facts, real and tangi-
BILE but it is also to enable US to use our
mental faculties to the very best advan-
tage. To teach what is in books IS far
easier than to teach those things which
are not in books. Thousands of instan-
ces of things not to be found in text
books, and which can not be written,
might be given. I will suggest very
few. The teacher may draw line dag
onally across the black board, another
horizontally; third may be perpendicu-
lar. Now let the scholars form their
Judgment Of these as to the size of angles,
formed by these lines of their respective
lengths, etc. Let him take walks with
them, and interest them by starting a
guess game of the absolute and relative
distance of places and objects at proper
times let him call upon them to form
opinions Of colcr, form, etc. Let him in
struct his pupils as to what things they
may observe in their every day walk, and
what they should not observe, in order
that they may be intelligent citizens and
still not subject to cropping or staring.
Now submit that these little things are
the A B G of knowledge, and that he
who is perfect master Of all such small
things, is already man of considerable
education; and is justly styled, "a man
of good judgment. If this is so why
should not the teacher teach these things?
If he should teach them, then it is the
duty of the school board to encourage
him in such duty. No one is Thoroughly
educated who cannot convey his ideas In
teligently. This should be commenced
in the common school. Let the whole
for instance, upon their states, and let
them exchange-som read aloud-cor-
rect, etc. Upon giving definitions Of
words, let them apply those words in
sentences, and then let there be short
criticisms introduced. The teacher ought
not to be discouraged if he find that his
labors are not rapidly bringing forth good
fruits, much good may often be consuma-
ted even years after the seeds have been
sown. Let him think how happy he will
feel in after years, when his brow has
been furrowed by age-his locks gray, and
his youth fed, to hear some stout hale
young man prospecting in life say y;ou
laid the foundation which gave me a
start T.. or, you first induced me to try
to become mani Alb then how hap
ply will the-tide of memory flow back to
those Eacyon days when he laborcd to
embue those young minds How well
will even this one instance repay him for
all his vigorous toll But bear in mind
brother laborers, even though you may not
meet the happy recipients Of your toll in
after years, still they live and will remem-
Der you aud your labors; if these have
been good, they, (men and women, them
will know it. and bless you; if worthless.
they will entertain but little respect for
you in age.
