Our Township OfIicials.--We publish
a communication in this issue relating to the
system of taxation adopted by the Perrysburg
Trustees. The statement made by our cores
pondent is indeed of a grave character, but we
hope it is susceptible of explanation by the
Trustees, for which purpose our columns are
open to them.
With the example of Infamous corruption fur
nished by the off ,ials of New York before the
world it is right and proper that all public ofl-
cas should be held to a rigid accountability for
public expenditures
The legitimate burdens Of taxation are sadly
too heavy, without adding any proligate or un-
necessary expenditure.

Lay away this idle dreaming,
Put the fairy fabric by,
BE a noble, earnest workerc
You've no time to dream or sigh.
Bid those airy castles vanish
In the distance far away,
Life is real, do not falter
In the duty Of 70 day.
Lay away your idle dreaming,
Thoughts like yours will never be
Any help TO YOU my sister,
On lfe's strange uncei tain sea.
See the real and noble purpose
Which waq destined to be yours,
And the soa that lives by working,
Is the one that most endures.
Turn, oh, turn from air built castles,
Here Is room for workers brave,
Oh, the need Of earnest labor,
Fer our bodies fll the grave.
There's no time for idle dreaming,
There's no time for doubts aud fears,
Rouse ye dreamers to your duty,
Wipe away nations tears.
Go and comfort the afflicted,
Duty lies before you plain,
Oh, this world is full Of trouble,
Full Of bitter, cruel pain,
Find your place and never falter,
Dullu your hopes upon Tue TOckt
Though you tremble in the darkness,
1t will bear the thunder's shock.
Hearts are breaking while you linger,
Pause not, onward quickly 60,
There's soft and ripping music
That will cheer your path | know.
Lay away this idle dreaming,
Strive a Heavenly port to gain,
STOPPING 'mong the briers, whisper
Words to ease a brothers pain.
Have an earnest purpose ever,
In what ever you begin
Let your heart be full Of pity
For heart that's sta med with sin.
Lay away this idle dreaming,
Put the fairy fabric by
BE a noble, earnest worker,
You've no time to dream and sigh.

Providence, We cannot but deeply deplore the
stroke which has severed the kindly ties that

fection and respect therefore, it is
Resolrel, In his death this Institute has lost
one Of its most faithful members, the cause Of

q That our departed brother, though cut
down in the very vignr and usefulness Of his

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

BOWLING GREEN, Nov. IS, 1871.
Ed JoURxAL: The Institute which has been
in session more than'a week, has continued so fer
this week to increase in interest rs well as
attendance.
Our teachers,of Wood county a-e striving to
act in the spirit of the age and hope to make
many steps of progression from the present In
s,itute, throughout the coming years labor.
The organization with Mr. Avery as President,
andlwho presides over the workings Of the In
stitute. has proven one Of the most efIectual we
hsve ever had.
Lust week tue time was mainly devoted to gen.
eral discussions of m1thods touching all school
topics. By hits in arguments and through tie
"budget-box" the session for the week was far
from dull. On Saturday at noon we adjourned
/ to Monday.
Monday, A. NJ, the President reopened the
session and conducted as before until the arrival
of Mr.. NJ. F. Cowdry, of Sundusky, who is the
foreign instructor engaged for the week.
Yesterday, under Mr.. Cowdery's instruction, a
fund of ideas were received and placed for fu-
IRE account in our memoranda.
The programme for the day embraces the fo'-
lowing subjects each of them introduced by Mr..
Cowdery:
l. Theory and Practice.
2. Language Lessons.
3. Moral Instruction.
4. Primary Map Drawing.
The topic for evening discussion was com
pulsory education. Strong speeches were made
both in favor and in opposition to arbitrary leg
islation upon that subject.
The programme for to-day is mainly contin-
uation Of Yesterdays subjects.
The sad news of the death Of our fellow labor
er, Mr.. Barton, has touched us all in one comm N
loss and sympathy for his afflicted. The
Iss;itute will doubtless make appropriate ex-
preston in the way ofresolutiuns.
