SECOND LETTER.

THE public schools of B-iiaire closed
their winter session OH Friday last. We
have an enumeration of 1850 youth be.
tween the ages of and q, out of this
number 500 were enrolled, and about
$50 was the average daily attendance
The school has six departments. The
principal, Captain L. X. Parkinson,
formerly of Cambridge, Ohio, is an ac.
complished teacher and has labored
hard in the cause of education; and on
those that have come under his infiu-
ence he has made his mark. The re-
suits, however, have not been COM
mensuTate with the efforts OF the teach
ers or the needs of the town, in conse-
queuce of the inadequacy of the accom-
modations for the scholars, and the
apathy of the parents on the subject
The names of the assistant teachers are,
Miss Helen Elerick, Miss Emma Gill,
Miss Mary 8. Gorby and Miss Caroline
Osborne. Miss Sallie Carroll, now de-
ceased, taught one department. Each
OF these teachers gave eminent satisfac-
ton. They are efficient and accomp-
lished and deserve well at the hands OF
parents and educators. There is no
class of our citizens so little appreciated,
that are so self sacrificing and such
Thorough workers without adequate
reward" as are good teachers. We
have good corps of teachers here that
we can safely recommend to the kind
regards and liberal patronage of all in
terested In the proper education OF
youth. Mr.. 7. J. Smith is about to
close the winter session of the West
Wheeling school. He has the conf
dence of that community as evidenced
by his being employed there so long and
will close very successful session.
Hopes are entertained that he will be
installed in n new and pleasant bull
ding in the fall. The necessity Of Il
more thorough education of our yout
is being furcibly impressed upon this
community and the cause is rapidly
gaining ground among our most sterling
citizens.
TIE Ohio Legislature have returned

pleased with their trip. They hardly

they have thoroughly enjoyed them
selves and that in the whole matter they
have done nothing as representative
men to bring discredit upon the great
State Of Ohio.

The New Departure.

The people down here among the hills
of "Capteen" are very much in favor
of taking a new departure in selecting
a candidate for Congress this fall. Dur.
ing the war and pending the completion
Of the Congressional plan of reconstruct.
ion, they have looked solely TO the mans
patriotism, fidelity, and his
ability to fully comprehend the great
questions which would necessarily
arise, and who would be prompt and
faithful to act upon the same. Mr..
Bingham seemed to have peculiar fit
ness for those troublesome times. He
led some very bold measures, was an apt
and ready debater, and indeed at one
time was the acknowledged leader of the
House. We are proud that we had the
honor of furnishing such a one. The
last blow has been struck, reconstruct
ion is completed, and the people are al
ready turning their attention in an
other direction. The American people
have way of dropping thing as soon
as it is done, and looking for something
else that will pay. We hear it through
out the rural districts that they must
have the Agricultural and Mechanical
interests represented now, since the
great question which involved the life
of the nation are settled. 1t is q notori-
GUS fact and one calculated to cause the
farmer and mechanic to look to his in
terest, that there is not single practical
farmer or mechanic in the Congress of
the United States. Nine-tenths of our
congressman are lawyers, The oihers
haying no professions at all, or if they
have, it Is one that would give them no
chance to obtain knowledge of the
wants of the majority of their constitu-
ents. Who has better right to be rep
resented than the laboriDg man; whose
votes elect men To those high posi-
tions and whose interests should be
looked after? We want laboring men
in Congressman such men as Sam.
Cary, who never did days work in his
men acquainted with honest
toll. If they work themselves, either
on the farm, or in the shop, sowing and
reaping, fashioning the wood and iron
into useful shapes, setting up type, print
ing and sending out newspapers and
journals filled with Information for The
they have a sympathy, one
toward another, and feel an interest in
each others success i'll business.
1t is time, and high time indeed, that
The people of this District should begin

will fully represent them in Congress.

turing business, and the country people
