Union school E.hIbIIion.

School Exhibitions, as a rule, are rather
dull and uninteresting affairs, except to
papas and m musas who have young hope
fuls to be showI. off, and few other interes-
ted parties but The exhibition given by the
Union Schools of our town last Tuesday
evening, at Music Hall, was of an en- tireIy
different sort from the common order, and
we think the housa-fulI of people who at
tended were delightfully."- entertained. The
programme was little too long, but it was
all good. The Declarations, Reci.asions.
COlloquies, &C., were well selected and
well executed. All the rooms of the
School were represented in the perform
anca.S-froIn the little -o1aos-of-r FJTTTIaTy
department, who stepped out before the
audience with as much ease and confidence
as old stagers, up to the young ladies and
gentlemen of the higher rooms. The
musical portion of the entertainment was
excellent In this Miss Krider. of I.ancas-
ter, Miss Daniels, of Greenfield. and
Miss Green, of BlOomingburg and several
of our citizens outside the School, rendered
very acceptable assistance, and contributed
great deal to the pleasure of the audience.
The proceeds of the entertainment
amount to $50

Dedication

On Sunday last we had the pleasure of
attending the dedication services of the new
Methodist church at Spring Grove. This
is one of the neatest churches in the county,
built of brick in the latest style of mod
ern architecture. 1t is handsomely carpeted
and furnished in neat and becoming style
The dedicatory sermon was preached by
Rev. r. Rose, to large and very attentive
audience.
The church edifice is in a beautiful grove
sufficiently elevated and with an ample
quantity of ground, and We should think
more eligible locality could not have
been chosen for church purposes, in the
neighborhood, than Spring Grove.
The services, both in the forenoon and
afternoon, were interesting and instructive
Much credit is due the citizens of that
intelligent and respectable neighborhood
for their moral and religious influence, and
their enterprise and good taste, as exempli-
fed in the erection of this beautiful house
for religious worship.

reasons, and If Withdrawn 1t would be nee
essary to send the child to some other
school Immediately.
The inquiry might be raised, would such
an arrangement take the child too much
from under the protecting care of the parent
and place him at the mercy of the teacher
entirely? AS to that, we would say the
powers which teacher can exercise are
clearly marked out And a Compulsory
School law would neither increase nor de-
C: eas= the powers of a teacher OF School
Director.
Allow me to sum up in brief what l have
attempted to establish:
l. That the object which the trainers of
the CONSTITUTION andour Legislators had in
view, has not been fully accomplished; that
instead of universal edncatiOn for the
youth, the benefits of the SCHOOLS have fail
ed entirely to reach % per centr,-nAd par
tally as to about 30 per cent. additional. -
2. That the proposed law, would 'har-
monize with the present laws, and must ac-
tually exist in order that those laws may
accomplish the desired end for which
they were enacted.
g. That those who bear the burden of
tax should not be compelled to pay it un-
less those who pay but little should be
compelled to receive the benefit for which
it is paid. -zEs-4 80 @ ea+
f. That crime would materially de-
crease, and that the decrease would be in
the same ratio as education and intelligence
increase among the masses.
5. 1t would prevent great annoyance
to the teacher, and increase the progress of
the school, in as much as it would prevent
the continual entering the school and with
drawal- therefrom by pupils, at their own
will or that of the parent. --h
6. 1t would neither increase the power
of the%teacher over the pupil nor lessen the
protecting care of the parent
And in conclusion, we would say, if the
world is ever to be enlightened and regen-
Grated, if the benevolent purposes of
the Almighty in relation to our world
are to be accomplished, if the tribes of man.
ton. if the various ranks of society are to
be brought into friendly association and
united in the bond of universal love, if the
heather world is to be enlightened and the
| christian world cemented in one grand and
harmonious union, that these long expected
events will be introduced by the universal
instruction of all the youth, in every thing
that has bearing on their present happi
ness and their immortal destiny.
We may enact laws, as we have hithertC
done, for ages to come. We may make
j modlty and repeal statutes, enact and en-
force numberless penal statutes for ths
punishment and prevention of crime. We
may build Churches, School Houses, Acad
emies, Colleges and Universities withOu
i number. Profound discussions may be en-
gagged in. But unless the foundations o
society be laid in the religious and intellcc
tual instruction of all classes of youth, anC
every youth in each class, our numerou.
plans will prove failures, and our political
social and religious structures will gradual
ly crunlble away.

Fire Extinguisl,er.

1t will be remembered that in his
annual message, the Mayor of our
town recommended to our Council, the
propriety of procuring "Babcock's Fire
Extinguisher," for use in. case of fire,
We find the following in the Chardon
Geauga Dem ocrat, in relation to these
Extinguishers:
We clip the following from the Ge-
neva Times of last week: "Mr. d.
NJ. Allen, of South Newbury, Geauga
county, visited this place on Monday
last, by invitation of the Council, to
make an exhibition of the .'Babcock
Fire Extingnisher," for which he has
the sole agency of this county A
huge pile of boxes, barrels and light
wood, saturst ted with kerosene oil
was set we'll III a blaze, when the 'EX.
tinguisher" was brought to bear upor
it, when the fire was quickly smothered
The experiment was quite satisfactory
both to the members of the Council
and to the citizens who witnessed it
Mr.. A. will visit our place again soor
when we shall take occasion to speal
further of this useful invention. Gu
/ Council will, in the mean time, con
slider the propriety of procuring SOM
of them for use in case of fire."
