AT AGAIN.


In looking over the, Register in the
Auditors Once we find no account of
John III Heaton's charges for printing
the Receipts and Expenditures for
last year. Now is any, one fool enough
to believe that he did it for nothing?
We called the attention of the Clerk to
the fact and he gave no explanation. =
How. has, the thing been fdone.a Has
HeatSn SO soon learned the trick of
"covering upand concealingn the small
sums he innocently pockets for County
printing? OF course he received pay
for his work aud he should be paid, but
where and how has he got it? Some

out in exlltation over the fact that we
had been paid s655n for; u5lishing the

Em;orat;on to VIRGINIA has been attract

Emigration to Virginia has been attract
ing attention in Scotland, and sixty first
class farm hands, it is stated, have written
letters of inquiry concerning the facilities
for settlement and for work in the "Old
Dominion These inquiries. it appears.
have been stimulated by letter published
in the Aberdeen, "People's Journal"
and written by young Scotsman who
has been living in Loudoun county, Va.
for the last four years. This young man
says that he has travelled through many
counties in Virginia, and that if the laborer
is honest and industrious, he is respected
by all. both rich and poor, and is not, as in
the north of Scotland, looked down upon as
if he were no better than the lower animals
1t is believed that many excellent men can
be obtained from Scotland, who will work
out the $50 or $40 each required to bring
them to this country, and who will not ash
higher wages than the farmers are now pay
ing for hands. Philadelphia Ledger.

the Governor, Attorney General, and Su-
perintendent of Public instruction, have
adopted the following textbooks for the
public schools of the State, viz:
Spoilers and Readers cGuffey's and
Holiness.
Grammers-Harvey's and Ballion's.
Arithn,ctics-Venable' and Daviess

It will be observed that two of each kind

purpose of giving local superintendent the
the privilege of choosing between them and
adopting either.
1t is proper to say that CONT acts have
not yet been closed with the publishers of
these different books, but arrangements are
on foot having that end in view, and if they
prove as satisfactory as expected, no change
will be made.
