The BIBLE.-There are sixty
two books in the Bible, written
by forty different inspired men.
Some were written by statesmen,
some by kings, some by shepherds,
some by herdsmen, some by vine.
dressers, some by prophets and
apostles, some by physicians. Tho
authors lived in different coun
tries, and wrote in different ages
Of the world, there having been
1900 years from the writing of the
first book to that of the last. Yet
there are no special contradictions
but wonderful harmony through
the whole.

MIssoURI's CoTTON.-Missouri
is not a cotton State, but some of
our lower counties can bring forth
very profitable crops of the 'foc-
culent potentateo when they try.
The last monthly report of the
Department of Agriculture, at
Washington, says that ''the cotton
crop of ,Stoddard and Dunklin
counties, Mo-, for 1869, which was
estimated at eight thousand bales,
lit is now believed will reach 12,-
900 bales. The crop of these coun-
ties in 1859 was $4,000 bales.
The value of the 10000 bales of
last year, at $50 pounds each, at
% cents a pound, would be ST.
$780, Mo. Republican.

A nephew Of U. S. Senator
Sprague died a pauper in Kansas
City the other day. So says the
Times Of that city, describing him
as about thirty five years of age,
of fine intellectual developments,
a native of Kalamazoo, Michigan,
Of excellent family, and till lately
respected by all who knew him.
His wife recently died. The Times
continues: ale sold out his prop
erty in Kalamazoo andspent most
of the proceeds in riotous living,
and finally found his way to Leav-
enworth. From that city he came
here, and then came the closing
episode in his career. Sinking
lower and lower, he at length be-
came a bar-room lounger. He
would almost beg for drinks, and
would subsist by eating the lunch
es which are daily spread in sa-
looms. His sleeping apartment
was generally place which hard
ly a brute would select. Thus he
continued to live until sickness
overlook him, when, having no
means Of his own wherewith to
procure private attention, he was
carried to the City Hosdital,
where, after lingering for some
days, he died a pauper, far away
from those who once knew him
only to respect him."

nothing but sit on the wrecks and

SCHOOLS AT HOME,

The schools of our town are in as good
condition nov as they have ever BEEN
Our citizens ought to feel some degree of
pride in them. Very few county towns
can show a larger number of children in
school. The male school is we'll attended
and Prof. DUNCAN is laboring hard to make
this one of the most prosperous years of
the school. Most of the boys in the town
are in the school, and it is hoped all will
soon be found in the school room instead
Of loating on the street. 1t is much bet
ter to have the boys educated in the school
than on the street 1t is cheaper too, both
for those who have children and those
who have none. If we suffer the children
to be instructed on the street instead of at
the school, the results, disastrous as they
are sure to prove, will fall upon our own
heads. -'.r.. -
The female school is in a prosperous con-
dition, over one hundred now being in at
tendance. Miss Ada j.. Fletcher, who is
now in charge of the third grade, is Civ
ing entire satisfaction. Her room has
some thirty-fve pupils. all properly graded
and we'll classed.
Miss Wilhoit's room. second grade. has
about thirty-fve pupils also. This room
is a model for convenience and neatness.
and is so we'll classed and so thoroughly
taught that it would be difficult to improve
on either.
Prof. Dillworth's class in music is large
larger than usual, but he finds time to
give semi-weekly lessons in vocal music to
the whole school. The arrangement is
something new in the schools of this place,
and will add no little to their efficiency.
The first grade, III. Presnell's contains
about thirty. Those who are pursuing
studies of advanced classes occupy this
room. The kind of instruction given can
best be understood by hearing the classes
examined in their daily recitations.
