Senator Pratt,


Special Correspondence OF the Gin, Gazette.
LoGANspoRT, IND, Dec, 80.
Senator Pratt has given the whole
power Of his energetic nature to
the practice Of his profession for
thirty-Gye years. Suddenly Sena-
toriaI honcrs fall upon him, After
brief experience in political life,
he returns to his home, and again
enters, with almost youthful ardor,
upon professional duties, Return
ING to his Senatorial lahors, he
finds himself embarrassed by the
pressure of public and professional
claims Yielding to lifelong habit,
Influenced somewhat, too, by per-
sonal considerations, he decides for
moment in favor of the claims of
his clients, and essays to resign his
high position. A broader and bet
ter view Of duty supervenes in
time, and those who know him best
congratulate themselves that the
pure, able and honest, though mod
est and inexperienced Senator from
Indiana, will remain at his post.

dressed him as follows: = ~ -

AS members of the institute whiclshas
been under your supervision, we can not
but feel the interest which you have taxi
en-, both in oar behalf, and in that of ed
ucatior; and as teachers of Kenosha coun.
ty, we would acknowledge our. appreci
alton of your untiring zeal in your labors
to promote the standard of national intel
Iigence. We feel that there is strong
lmympathy existing between US as Super.
intendeEt and teachers, and as q mark OF
our esteem, we would present these inn
mortal works of Webster and of Byron
hoping that they may call to mind the
pleasing memories of the happy hours we
have spent together. Time has closed
his everlasting gates upon our lit
tie season of enjoyment, here; but, the
benefits we have derived we shall new
er forget and the influence here exert.
ed, shall be written, though perhaps uu-
consciously, in living characters upon
the future destinies of our land.
Again, we thank. you; and may your
efforts be crowned with success.

surprise to him, we are unable to give his
