Through the courtesy Of the Editor,
L again prese; ito the patrons and friends
of our school, a monthly statement; 10
show what is being done ia this impor-
tant work and, also, any defects that
need remedy.
From several cause.-the Fair being
chief-there has been an amount OF ir-
regularity much greater than usual.
This will appear from q COM mparison OF
the columns headed-"Entire Number
Enrolled" and Average weekly Attend
aace." In making up the latter item, q
pupil, absent whole week, is not in
cluded as a pupil. During the pas,
week the attendance was much improv-
ed. In the majority of pupils there
seems to be an awakening of q greater
desire TO learn.
We now have lesson, given in each
room, at least once a week in the princi-
pies of vocal music. These, to use the
common parlancs of the times, promise
to be a Success"
As now graded, the school could ac-
commodate, in its various departments,
many more pupils; as'the organic alton
is much more thorough than last year.
Our difficulty, We now suffer from, is
thatin each department. there are some
irreguLdrs. These are not only doing no
good themselves, but, rs an inevitable
result, are drawback to others. Chief
ly however by tn cir bad example as we
do not tietaiu classes 10 writ on. that
kink OF gentry. The number Of this
species is small and l think there is a
remedy fitting the case. OF course the=e
remarks do not apply where absence is
caused by sickness or aun other neceSSG-
ry detention. Then, it is unfortunate but
must be borne with and remedied III rs
great degree as possible:
1 call upon the parents, sending to cur
school, to lend that aid which they can
we'll give, and which will pay them in
results upon their most precious trust
their children. II we wiilfully fail in
the performance of oar duties, let our
places be given to others more worthy.

DIR. Editor: Occasional more auonr
appears in the last issue of the Gazette.
He appears TO be somewhat angry, at
some statement made in my previous
article. IN that article, I'did not say,
that all Democrats were bounty-ju pers
but that all 6on'tyjunlpers acre Den1o-
erals; which as far as my observation
extends, is true: L-have never get ,kRowu
oneof tt.at elsss to vote the Republican
ticket.

these things, is uesy distaseful to my
Deuocratic friends; but, am not quite

HEAroN AND CHARLEswoRrn.-


q in the extracts we published two
wesksiago, taken from The Independent
llRepa5licaa 1856, edited by Jas. F.
sGAsEIeswartlz, and in numerous others
at that time published in that paper,
!. Ghartesworth Iabored to prove that J..
H. Heaton was the author of the Treas
ury defaication that occurred while Thos
Johnson was Treasurer and Heaton a
clerk in the Treasury Office. The facts
and circumstances arrayed against Hea-
ton in those articles were so strong that
a large portion of the people of all par
ties believed that he was responsible for
the deficiency or knew where the mis-
sing money was. Now, Charles worth
having Joined the Democratic party and
received office through the influence of
Heaton, and in turn anxious to aid him
to a little more public plunder, he is now
trying to destroy the influence and effect
of his former well-sustained charges.
In order to do this he seeks to stultify
himselfand, with a greater avidity than
any sick dog ever returned to his own
,vomit, he swallows his own words and
lproclaims his own infamy, by virtually
declaring that he lied when he made
those charges and that he was the scoun-
drel and Heaton was the honest man.
THERE'S one thing pretty ciear;Charles-
worth lied when he made those charges
or he is lying now! He says he lied
then We believe he lies now. If he
is right he deserves the contempt of all
honest men, Ii we are right, their
scorn. In either event the candidate
for Comptroller is to be pitied in SO far
as his character aud standing for honesty
seems to hang on she unsupported tes
ltimony of such a witness.

A Sublime Phenomenon


On the Mig of the 9th inst, was at
JonesvilIe, Mich, awaiting the train for
Hillsdstie- meanwhile c0nversing with
Minister of the United Brethren
Church, relative TO the various views of
the different religious denominations.
About1I o'clock we approached the
ubjecs OF the Millennium. Just at that
moment cur attention was diverted by
some one outside of the depot saying
"look at that fiIe." ..
We, with the rest of the passengers,
went cut and beheld one of the grand
est and most beautiful exhibitions of
nature that I, at least, had ever sean.
The whole Northern, Eastern, and
Western sky was Illuminated With cor
rus cations of flame coiored ligh. stream
ing up from the horizon, meeting III,
and extending beyond the zenith,
even half way down the South side. lii
the N6ntb-East and Northwest were
two large.belts of brilliant red. There
was moderate breeze and film of
clouds was drifting before it with ";-
casionat openings, through viii n and
the flashings, we could see the 1lue sky,
and the stars. In the zenith was lsrge
spot Of the deepest crimson, whele the
red andgolden streams eonverged from
all sides. At one time solitary snow
white cloud drifted upon this beautiful
center and there divided itself into two
parts resembling soft featheiy wings.
This reniuded me of the subject of our
previous conversation--viz; the advent
sof- f-tha Son II -iiod, from whose presence
the heavens all around shall be rs diant
with Tie divine glory.
l could not refrain from tears and
even remarked to my companion that
II would the moment were come"
At another time, there was a paral-
telegram shaped fgure-Ieft deep GRIM
son and half pure white and, at the
same time white light seeme,, TO flash
out fion It's borders, alternately light
ing and darkening the clouds surround
ing.
1 have not described the scene. 1t
can not be described in all its various
phenomena, nor can its effects upon my
mind, but in respect to the latter, suf-
fee it to say that noW have more ex-
alted idea of the appearance which the
coming of Christ will present.

Mr.. EDITOR: In looking over the
list of Premiums awarded by the Bel
mont Agricultural Association at its late
Fair, [ discover that many articles
which were OH exhibition, and deserving
OF attention, do not appear as having
been worthy of II premium, Or at least
that none was awarded.
As understand it, the object of these
associa tions is to encourage home manu-
factlres, home production, home skill
and iateH.-=It is not the Intention, that
the citizens or your own com munity and
county, who encourage and sustain ,hese
Fairs, should be compelled to con- in
eompetition with skilled labor from
abroad, to the exclusion of their own
D odncsions.
Fo',instance, L notice a premium is
ava del on one of Prcslgs Ch oaaoS.
This was the production of a Boston
Company. The party placing this pie
tIres on exhibition deserves no particu-
lar credit for having it in his possession,
for it was not the work Of bis trained
eye or hand. He has his money invest
ed in it. and that is his whole "stock in
traden in that article.
We notice that premiums are awarded
on such articles as 'Shells and Vases. !"
in some Eases, equal to half their origi-
nal cost when purchased atsome .fa,acy
store
We insist that it is exceedingly unfair
and in oposition to the purposes and in
tents for which the association was or
ganized. to award premiums to the pos
SCISSORS of natural curiosities, and articles
ofa foreign manufacture, to the seclusion
of those who from your:Own midst have
on exhibition articles which are works
of their contriving and ingenious brain,
and the result of patient and skilled
labor.
1 notice as one of the articles which
was omitted from the list certain
Hair Wreath" which received especial
mention iRyour columns as deserving.
This was beautiful piece of Hair Work,
and was the handiwork Of lady Of your
own county. AS an ornament it was
not surpassed by anything on exhibition
in the Hall
submit, MFR. Editor, that the mana
gers of these Fairs, should see to it that
so gross injustice as that perpetrated in
this instance, should not occur again
Let more close discrimination be used
and thereby your home industries Will
be encouraged and your people viii be
tG enter iLto laudable COM
petition in all good works.

For the Co -onicle.
Capt. Tuomas Vnd the Te mperance rrt ?
Mr.. EDITOR. We propose 20 comluu-
nicate through pour paper, to the friends
of Capt. Thomas, and of the temperance
movement as well, that We, by direct
correspondence, have satisfactory ev-
idence that he (rhomas) is practical
temperance man and should have the
support of all the friends of our cause;
having subscribed to Our principles as
far as he could con nsitently and remain
a candidate of his own party; and upon
this fact Is predicated the withdrawal of
Mr.. McConaughy in sfavor of Thomas.
We wish the matter to be fairly under
stood by all parties, especially those who
are croaking about the temperance party
'blowing out, +" &c. We mean earnest
straight forward work and claim consis-
tency in our procedure, for we asked in
the out set that the organized parties
should give US temperance men for
County officers; and agreed to help elect
such men, if competent, regardless of
political faith; for our purpose is not to
political discord, but some thing higher
than success, or overthrow of any party.
We only labor for the redemption of our
fellow men from the evils of intemper-
ance-raking party organizations II
means but not the end.
We, therefore, place Capt. Thomas on
on our ticket in good faith and hope he
may receive the entire vote ofthe Coun-
ty.
On behalf of the Central Committee.
