A correspondent wants to know about
the" Educational Column''in the CHRoN
IcLE the coming school year.
Nothing would please US more than
to have it continued, but we are tolo
that it is no easy matter for an editor t.
do this. No onewantsit filled with stale
dry articles thatare, by no means, adap-
ted to the wants ofour country teachers
yet no one can say that home interest
in new.and better methods of teaching, is
not needed in our county. Our own ex-
perience has taught us that indifference
to the methods and success Of fellow
teachers. is quick way Of fitting the
teacher for some less responsible work.
The Teachers Institute of this county
will take place in a few weeks. The
managers have issued circular urging
teachers to attend. Now, how many OF
the three hundred teachers in Belmont
county will be there? OF course it will
cost little money, but will not. OF
would not many, if they would attend,
60 away with new views and more
comprehensive ideas of their work
with something to act as a nucleus
around which they could arrange their
own experiences and make them profit
able?
OF course we want our Educational
column, but since it must be confined
to the interests of Belmont teachers, they
must see that it is Sustained. We wish
our correspondent would develop some
plan of cooperation on the part of teach
ers in this work.

Try, and served his country faithfully,
until the close of the war. He is now
Engaged in farming, and is one of our

those who are familiar with Captain
Thomas, know him to be Republican,

important position of Sheriff. Hi. cleo
Lion will secure to this County, an hon.

Doas.-We notice that our Mayor
has issued proclamation for the benefit
of our canine population. Now, although
we don't like too many dogs, especially
when 3they persist in holding soirees
q little past the fashionable hour, direct
.ly under our window, yet, we think
that muzzling them during dog-days,
and letting them 60 free during the re-
manning part Of the year is hygienic
mistake. The clo sest observation of sci
entific men shows it to be true that
dogs are no more liable to madness in
summer than at any other time. In
warm climates the disease is unknown.
M. Bouley in the Academy of Sciences
in Paris, stated that his researches ex-
tending over many years showed SO
cases in Spring. IA in Summer, "a in Au-
tumn and IA in winter. 1t is thought
that the muzzle tends to cause madness.
But single case Of hydrophobia has
occurred during so years, out of rs, ,OOO
admitted to the Pennsylvania hospital
We have no objections, however, to
dogs being :muzzled, or of dog-days end
ing the nightly revels of every pup in
town.

DowN-FALL.-Al little boy-son of Mr..
johnson of this place, fell from horse
on Tuesday while riding up Main street,
and was carried off somewhat injured.
We believe the injury was not serious,
but boys should ride slowly till they
learn how to ride fast.
THE Champions of West Virginia will
play the Hay Stockings of this place on
Saturday at 2 P. NJ. The game will take

BASE BALL.-The game between the
Battles of Wheeling, and the Belnaonts
of this place resulted in the defeat of the
latter. Score, q to II. The Belmonts
did not seem TO be as Wi de awake as
they generally are, and they feel conf
dent that the game was not a fair exhi-
bition of their skill. On the other hand
the Battles displayed more care in their
movements, and played as ifthey meant
business. The weather was very warm
and sultry, too much SO for such active
work.
The Battles were well entertained
duringitheir stay at the National Hotel,
and having spent the evening in the
usual social manner took up their
march for the other side of the river.

PERSoNAL.-Col. Steele called to see
us last week. He is looking well and is
just from Lancaster where he is now
living. He has, since the war, been a
resident of the Hooking Valley, one OF
the most beautiful in the State. The
Coal fever seems to be raging in that
section since the completion of the
Hooking Valley Railroad.

The Gazette of last week says tina
Capt. Thomas was the weakest man
offered for nomination at the Conven-
ton. This is news to Us, and of kind
generally found in that paper. The
reason the Editor is not acquainted
with the Capt, is that the latter has
spent good part of the last ten years
where the former was a stranger, and
has not lived in st. CIairsvilIe since.

In arranging the Secretary's report OF
the proceedings of the Convention on
the 18th ult., we neglected to give the
nominee for Coroner, DR.. A. J. Hogue.
The Independent thinks il makes nc
difference who is elected. It would,
doubtless, be more convenient to have
a Coroner near the River towns where
people get tired of living, and want a
public notice,Ii not once in their lives,
one at the closing up.
