newspaper postage from two cents to one
| cent per four ounces, and the postage on
drop and unsealed circular letters from two
cents to one cent. At these rates it is be-
lleved that there would be no considerable.
II any, decrease in the annual revenues of
the Post Office Department, and this opin-
ION Is based on the fact that when the pos

to three cents per half ounce on letters
the increased correspondence under the
cheapened rates fully compensated for the
reduction ia price.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Whittemcre,
of South Carolina, to enforce the provi-
sions of the fourteenth article of amend
lnent to the Constitution of the United
States, has been agreed upon by the Re
construction Committee. The bill simply
provides that the test oath shall be taken
by all persons holding offics in the several
States, in accordance with the third section
of the fourteenth amendment, and enacts
penalties against all persons who attempt
to hold office without taking the oath.
An ex-Confederate soldier in Georgetown
has filed a petition fer a writ of mandamus
to issue OH certain judges of election of
that city, to show cause why his name
should not he placed on the list of qualiti-
ed voters. He holds that he is not disqual-
flied, having been relieved of his disabili-
ties by Andy Johnson's proclamation of
July 4, 1868. This is presented as test
case, and upon the decision depends his
privilege of the ballot, and that of con-
siderable number of ex-Confederates in
this District.
In response to the House resolution of
inquiry Postmaster General Creswell re-
plies that the seventy-five thousand circu-
culars petitisning for the abolition of the
franking privilege cost fraction less than
five hundred dollars a; that the bill was paid
out of fund to be disbursed as the Post
master General may deem proper, and that
he deemed this expenditure necessary be-
cause the people were crying out against
the Thanking privilege. Tie President in
his message had recommended this abolish
ment, and he (Mr. c. had, in his annual
report, recommended the repeal of the law.
The Reconstruction Committee has pre-
pared bill, which was reported and order
ed to he printed and recommtted, romov-

Up the pen, so long relinqushed, to in
form the public generally that l am
still alive. My subject upon this oc-

Schools of this town.
First, we have a,select school, taught
by Miss Bell Joice, highly educated
and accomplished young lady, formerly
of your town, but unlike some of our
public school teachers, she has too much
modesty, and good sense, to sound her
name abroad in the public prints.
Second. we have the Academy public
school, taught by Mr. H. NJ. Mullen as
principal, who has been in charge of
said school, for several years, and in
that time has made many warm friends,
and the school is in Furnishing con-
dition. His assistant. Miss. Emma
Poole, is an accomplished, modest, and
handsome young lady of our town.
Third, brings us to the famous Bay
ard school consisting of over Que hun
dred pupils. Principal and two assis-
tants. But it is not worth while for
me to say much in regard to this ia
NOUS school, as your correspondent
from this place has been constantly

In the morning of life's day,
All before is bright and gay,
All behind is like dream,
Or the moons uncertain beam,
Falling on misty stream.
In the morning of thy youth,
Learn this sober, soleu1n truth:
Life is passing like stream,
Or meteor's sudden beam;
Like the bright aurora's blaze,
Disappearing while we gaze;
Soon the child becomes maid,
In the pride Of youth arrayed,
And her mind and form expand
To proportions great aud grand;
Then she changes to wife,
Battling with the ills of life:
Thus we come and thus We 60,
And our cups with JOY and woe,
Oft are made to overflow.
Each returning bright birthday,
Like the mile-stones by the way,
Will remind you as You go
Though at first they pass so slow
That behind there is one more,
And, of course, one less before;
Watch the moments as they fly,
With never tireins eye
Since you cannot stop their flow,
0 improve them as they go.

Wheat.-From all parts of the county
we receive the most cheering accounts OF
the thrifty appearance of the wheat fields.
Late sowing, owing to the extreme drought
of last fall, excited anticipations anything
but fattering of next harvest's crop, but
tho unusually mild, wet winter which
has been experienced has kept the wheat
in growing condition, and the fields are
covered with rich green sward, and tn.
plant is so vigorous, that it would be eapa-
bio Of withstanding very severe freeze
without injury.

Winter.-In order, it would seem, that
we should not forget, amid the genial,
spring like days which have been the rule,
that winter still ruled the realm, we had
an old fashioned snow and rain storm on
Tuesday last which would do credit to any
winter in this latitude.

owners name on them, so that no finder
could be in doubt az to the owner. A lib
eral reward will be given to the finder-but
honesty is below par with = very large
class Of our citizens. Finding an article
and concealing it is precisely the same as
stealing it, except that it is not punishable
by so severe penalty.
