Following the examples of Indians, IT
linois, Tennessee, Iowa, Ohio and other
States, the Demoeratic-C Conservative and
Liberal Republican supporters of Greeley
and Brown, through their respective Ex-
ecutive Committees have united In the
support of an electoral ticket composed
of FIVE Democrats and Conservatives and
three Republicans. As the arrangement
is strictly in the line of Cancellation and
harmony adopted elsewhere, and is based
upon the one paramount aim of securing
the vote of the State for the Cincinnati
Baltimore nominees, it is ardently hoped
that the ticket will be acceptable to the
anti-Grant people of the State. Waiv-
ing all minor and mere personal consid-
erations, let every true friend of his coun-
try, and especially of our own suffering
and oppressed Commonwealth, remem-
Der that she expects every man to do his
duty.

For the Clarion.
A Live NInm Wanted.

EDITORS CLARION:
notice in your last issue an advertise
ment, for gentleman of talent and expe-
rience as teacher, to take charge of Jack
son High School. This, in my opinion, is
the most important matter connected with
the ESTABLISHING mt of the school; upon
which more than all others, depends its Ill
innate success. Money may be subscribed
and paid, buildings erected, the grounds
laid off and ornamental with taste and ele-
gance; but there can be no success without
the ''right man in the right place." at the
head of the Institution.
In view of the Importance of the subject,
l trust the Board of Directors will pardon
few suggestions.
in the first place we want live man no
broken down teacher, preacher, lawyer or
politician; no matter how brilliant his tai
ents, extensive his requirements, or how
profound mis- eruditiOn: no matter how
great his age and experience, if he be bro
ken down in health and has failure written
all over him, he wont do.
We want a man who Is "saRa mems In sGno
corpore," no old fogy, no fossil, no mere
book-worm or walking encyclopedia; but a
man of thorough education, sound practical
views of life, born to command, with big
heart, full of faith, hope and charity man
who respects himself, and commands the in
voluntary respect of others, who by precept
and example can win our sons up 'the
sleeps where Fame's proud temple shines
| affair.""
| We want a man who is a success, who has
met fate and conquered it; not one who has
been all his life seeking vocation, "every
thing by turns and nothing long" one who
is always going to do something.
| We want man of age and experience as
teacher, if we can get him; one who has
made the education of youth his calling
and succeeded one whose personal appear
ance and manners invite esteem and conf
dence; who rememb ers that he himself was
once boy, and is still boy in hope and
sympathy, and feeling, whose heart throb-
with kindness, and whose soul is fun Of gen
erous impulses: and who has learned ste
labor and to watt and whose life is an eX-
ample worthy OF imitation.
| If the man of age and experience as an
educator, cannot be procured, then get q
! yonag man of good education, good health
good morals, good manners, ambitious and
hopeful, who knows himself. and is willing
to devote his life to the cause OF education
one who Will educate, draw forth and de-
velop the faculties of the young men CON-
United to his charge.
How often have we seen thriving schools
frittered away by being placed in charge
of some good, easy, careless man, broker
down in health-displrired, with failure
written on every lineament of his eounte-
nance, who having tried every other voca'
tion to which he thought himself adapted
and failed, has concluded that he must have
been designed for a teacher, as he is goot
for nothing else. How mistaken! He VIII,
would manage boys must be every inch

a Fearful Crime.

CANTON, LII, August "a horri-
BILE murder occurred about a mile west
of Gates City on Monday morning. The
victim was the wife of John Matthewson.
Matthewson aud hired man left the
house at daylight to do some harvest work
some distance from the house and did
not return till night when the body of
the murdered wife was found in the cell
lar with her throat cut and skull mashed.
The murderer is not known but suspi-
cions rest on a man who was near the
house that morning inquiring for work.
Detectives are on his track.
The particulars, as near as we can as
certain them are, that the murderer went
to the house about 3 o'clock and ordered
breakfast. While Mrs. Matthewson was
preparing it he undertook to ravish her,
and she resisted. Her clothing and per-
son showed unmistakable signs that there
was "A terrible struggle for life Her
hand was horribly cut as il she had tried
to grasp the knife from the murderers
hand.
The family is very respectable, and
among the first in the country. She had
been married but a few months Great
excitement prevails, and mounted horse
men are securing the country in search OF
the murderer. A reward of one thousand
dollars is offered for him.
