ty, on last Friday, the 9th instant
Lewis Mcdonald, a store keeper there,
kept powder for sale. A customer
complained to him that his powder was
not good would not ignite. In order
to show that this complaint was TN
founded, Mcdonald poured some into
a paper, and set fire to the later. The
powder exploded, and blew the paper
up t o the ceiling of the store-room.-
The paper descended in a burning con-
dition, and lit on the top of a keg of
powder, on which was scattered a few
grains. This caused the explosion of
three kegs of powder, which caused the
death % five persons, Mr.. Mcdonald,
and his little son aged four years, Geo.
w. Gordon, son-:n law of Mcdonald,
George Gaver, and q young man by the
name of Priest. The store building,
which was Of brick, was blown in all

success, we predict they will 'e able to

them this week. Next week they will
receive a large stock of other articles of
female apparel all purchased with a
view toward satisfying the fancy OF the
most fashionable, as well as that of
those who do not pretend to follow the
fashions. Notwithstanding these large

a couple of weeks in Philadelphia, New

will endeavor to select the largest and

Applicants who had read no

The above is rather q bad showing
for those who aspire 10 become teach
ers o? the youth of Morgan County,
More than halfof the whole number of
applicants had never read a Profession
al work! More than half of them do
not take a newspaper or Journal Of any
kind! considering these facts, it is not
strange that put of twenty-five appli-
cants, only one was able to obtain a
frst-ciass certificate. School teaching
is q vocation that calls for more than a
mere smattering of Arithmetic and
biography in those that design follow
ing it. Even should an individual IN
derstand thoroughly the branches to
be taught, yet he is not fit for a teach
or unless he is acquainted with the
best methods Of teaching, and he can
not be advised of SAID methods unless
he is a constant reader of me or more
of the Educational Journals of the day.
There is such a thing as progress in
school teaching, as we'll as in all other
professions and callings of life, and
those who desire to take unto them
selves the emoluments of the calling,
should fit themselves to properly dis
charge the duties thereof. Further, it
is a little remarkable to US that one who
aspires to be an instructor of the Amer
lean youth, should undertake to get
along without keeping himself, or her.

Of the world, as a knowledge of them

that can only be obtained from u news
