national life trembled in the balance did the
nation fully rouse, and then concentrating
her forces without regard to nationality or
race. She deserved triumph or received it
at the hand Of a just God.
The fourth duty of the State is TO educate
her people. There is no greater enemy to
the nation than ignorance. l.. is the
subverts morality. Especially is edu-
cation necessity in the republic.
Where the will of one man is absolute, or
where a few rule, the mass may be ignorant
and the State live, but where the people
rule, and where the ultimate power Of the
State constantly recurs to the individual
members of the nation, education is ALSO
lutely necessary. No thoughtful man can
close his eyes to the fact that the greatest
element of weakness in the American re-
public is the deplorable ignorance of large
masses The facts brought out by the last
census are startling. Millions of American
citizens can neither read nor write.
The State must educate as a means of
self preservation, and because she is bound
to give the blessings of culture to her chill
dren. And no power within the nation can
usurp the place of the nation in
this work. The hap hazard system Of pri
vate schools is a failure, and sectarian edu-
cation has proven still greater failure.
France is good example The State must
provide for and superintend the education
of her children. Our common school sys-
TEN must be guarded against its foes and
increased in efficiency until the system shall
become national in fact as we'll as name. l |
speak the more earnestly on this point !
because of the dangers that threaten |
that system. Every Catholic priest is
Its sworn enemy. Blinded prejudice in
many OF our Southern States is Gripping its |

To KEEP THE PEACE.-They play re-
turn matches Of binding people over to
keep the peace in South Wheeling.
Some days ago Caroline Ennis had a
Bohemian, named Weweke, placed
under bonds to keep the peace. Think
ing she had him where he could not
resent it, Caroline told him what she
thought of him, and used no compli-
mentary terms in doing it, either.
Weweke was mad, but bound. His
hands were tied. But one course was
left him. He went before Justice
Schultz, on Friday night, and had a
warrant issued for the gentle Caroline
on charge Of disorderly conduct. She
was required to pay the costs and give
bond in the sum of $50 to be Of good
behavior for three months.

Foor Ctr OFR.-About half.past ten
o'clock yesterday morning James l.
Bomberser, a well known citizen, was
sitting at the old Rolf house, next the
Riverside mill. As an engine passed he
made a run towards il and attempted
to climb up. As lie reached his foot
up on to the step he slipped and his foot
went under the wheel OF the engine.
That portion of the foot from the great
toe TO the instep was cut of, and the
rest Of it so crushed that amputa,ion
at the ankle will be necessary. DR..
Frissell was at once summoned by the
gentlemen who had witnessed the acct
dent, who gave the surgical attention
Immediately necessary. Bomherger was
then conveyed to the hospital.

and may give him trouble. We have
not been called upon yet to write that

township, to kill these savage dogs,
when ordered to do so by the Justice ?
Something should be done for the pro,

SPORT IN PRosrEcT.-By the notice in
another column it will be seen that the
Clarkson Boat Club have issued a chal-

race Of any distance from one mile to
five miles. II this is accepted we may
look for as lively a race as was ever
seen on these waters. The Pocahontas
has been completely overhauled and
most of her defects remedied. Still we
have an idea that the Spivins will get
away with the Indian girl, if the race
be made.

The CITY MAEKEr.-Saturday was
as usual at this season of the year, a
good day for procuring the necessaries
and luxuries OF the table. Vegetables
of all descriptions were abundant and
cheap. Poultry is also abundant and
at reasonable rates, and the market is
absolutely overstocked with excellent
fruit. Meats are the weak point in our
market. and no one expects to get a
really first rate article. Prices remain
about the same, from l6 to 20 cents
being the average. Fish are plentiful,
and are fast getting their best flavor.

RAILROAD AocIDRNr.-On Saturday
night q few minutes before IL o'clock,
as the mail train west, on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. was approaching the
station at Littleton, a man named
James Templeton was struck in the
breast BY the engine and knocked down
the embanknent. As soon rs the train
could be stopped it was backed up and
the unfortunate man picked up. TWAS
found that he was dangerously, il not
fatally injured. From the engineer Of
the train we learn that Templeton was
standing on the track, with his arms
folded, gazing at the headlight when he
first saw him, but the engine was TOO
close to him then to be stopped in time
to prevent striking him. The circum'
stances would indicate that Templeton
was waiting on the track for the pur'
pose of being killed. We can't conceive
whv else he should stay there when he
could have made his escape by one step
to either side.
S.-We were told last evening that
Templeton had died OF his injuries.

DEATH OF A. S. TRowBRlDGE.-It is
our painful duty, this morning, to an
nounce the death OF A. S. Trowbridge,
formerly editor and proprietor of the
Press, the predecessor of this paper,
and afterwards local editor Of the
REGISTER. Mr.. Trowbridge has been
unable to do any business for the past
three years, having been confined to
his bed during the greater part of that
time. His disease was, we believe, con.
sumption. Mr.. Trowbridge came to this
city, from Hampshire county, if We mis-
take not, in 1861. In all the relations
Of life he was warm friend and a de-
voted and noble hearted man. Peace
to his ashes.

morning. On Saturday JADE Gosney
and lobe Vance started out on a race
to see who could get to the lookup first.
1t was a close thing and the judges
were in doubt as to who would be the
winner. But lobe has the experience
though Jabe has the legs, and blood
will tell, in short race at least Con-
sequently lobe beat his competitor
about half a length, making the dis
lance in two quarts and three half pints.
They will be present at the commence
ment exercises OF the geological class
this morning when Judge Good will
