TEACHING.

Teaching has not yet been elevated to
a profession In most of our schools
great many persons teach because they
need NON or have have nothing else to
do, not because they love the work. We
need a higher standard IN all the schools.
Those who teach must prepare themselves
for the work.
1t has been suggested that the teachers
of the county organize an Institute this
summer. We think the suggestion a good
one and hope. it will be carried out. If
we never make an effort to bring our pro-
fession into more general notice, we may
rest assured it viii never be done. Teach
ing is a high and responsible calling, We
need all the assistance that can be drawn
either from books or experience.
We, as teachers are too easily satisfied.
Our schools suffer often on the account
superficial and incompetent teaching We
must strive to bring about a better state
of things in this respect. Many of the
teachers have never had any special train
ing for their work. 1t is natural that
they should make great mistakes in teach
ing.
We must set about a remedy. AS we
have no model school for the special train
ing of teachers and may not have n
for years to come, its place might be
partially suppliedby an Institute or teach
er's association. e
There are one hundred teachers
in the county, of this number a few are
striving to raise the standard of teaching,
while the majority are satisfied to follow
in the old beaten track of keeping
school,"

THE SCHOOLS.

The last few weeks have been made
notable by the closing exercises of our
schools. Great interest seems to have
been manifested IN these exercises, for
large numbers, in most cases, attended
them. Favorable reports go out from all
the schools. No year, perhaps, has wit
messed more, or better schools than the
present. cd
While it is not possible to speak of
each one in detail, it is generally acceded
that the schools are in excellent condit-
ion. The town has never bad better
schools, and the country is making rapid
progress in educational advancement.
Nearly every civil district has a good
school. There is a disposition in all the.
schools to elevate the standard of educa-
ton. We are glad to see this evidence
of Improvement.
FEMALE COLLEGE.
We copy the following from the Ten
nessce Patriot of last week.
The exercises at the Female College
constituted the chief attraction in our
village Monday and Tuesday. AS We
previously announced the examination
began promptly on Monday at 2 p NJ.
The audience that had assembled was
en~couragingly large, and the pupils de-
nlonstrated to the entire satisfaction of
every one present that they had not been
spending their time idly. We have never
seen classes that seemed to be more
thoroughly acquainted with the leading
principles of their text books than those
examined at this institution. 80
The questions were skillfully put and
readily answered. The Faculty have
spared no trouble or expense in possess
ing themselves of every modern facility
that can aid the teacher in communicating
or the student in acquiring knowledge.
For instance we noticed quite a number
of large, and accurate outline maps, which
are almost Indispensable to classes study
ing geography. All day Tuesday the
large Hall was filed with an orderly.
intelligent and appreciative audience.
and the exercises we're even moro inter-
esting than the day before. Music, re-
citations in poetry and the examination
of the classes were so mingled as TO give
variety and relieve the exercises of that
dryneSs usually complained of on such
occasions. 4..zf
Tuesday night the grand concert
claimed the attention of all. Early in
the evening the people began to throng
toward the College, and long before the
exercise commenced the Hall was densely
and almost uncomfortably crowded.
Prof. Dillworth had displayed his usual
good taste in the selection of music for
the occasion though perhaps some of
the pieces were a little too scientific to
be appreciated by all who were present.
The appreciation of a miscellaneous au-
dience is much more easily gained by the
pathetic songs that touch the heart or the
simple airs made dear to every q by
association than by those exquisitely exc
cuted compositions characteristic of the
opera.
One of the most interesting features of
the evenings performance was the exercise
ofthe "gymnastic class" Who that saw

We need wonder at nothing now since
a remedy of such wonderful curative
powers has been discovered for the heal-'
ing of the multitude suffering from the
dread diseases of the lungs and throat.
Symphyx, the greatest of cough remedies
has been quietly but surely working its
way into the public confidence. until
now it stands far ahead of all other medi-
cines for the relief ofthe throat and lungs.
Messrs. Sanford, Chamberlain 81 Albers,
are the sole proprietors of this remedy
aud are filing orders for it from far and
near. The sales are simply immense.

some persons have drawn tho inference

any thing of the kind, but intended. and
still does. to run independently.

The time Is approaching "neH NJ
publicans of the first Congressional Dis
trict will be called upon to selects stan
dard bearer in the coming race for Con-
gfess.
Already the friends of the several
asrirants for Congressional honors have
commenced the work By cautiously ez-
smining the popular pulse preparatory to
setting the machinery in motion, which Is
to bring their f%avorite prominently before
the people. and through the agency OF
which they hope to secure for him the
nomination. We are daily receiving
letters from all parts Of the District.
some endorsing one candidate and some
another. Some written in a spirit OF
eandor and fairness and others lacking all
these elements forgetting or abandoning
Ia their p~artizan blindness, even dccency
itself, and some showing by the injudl-
eious zeal displayed that the writer is on
II q raw recruit but recently converted
from the ranks of Conservatism. Many
of these letters denounce, in unmeasured
terms, the trickery resorted to by one
wing of the party in attempting to secure
the nomination, of it's leader, and at the
same time suggest a line of policy which
has nothing'to recommend it except the
cunning intrigue lying at the bottom but
which is attempted to be concealed by al
hypocritical burst of Indignation against
the other party for attempting the very
thing they are themselves trying to ac-
aomplish by the self same means. Some OF
these letters we have published, others
have been answered by a private letter
but the great bulk of them have beer
thrown in the waste basket, as the evident
object of the writer was to draw us out
and ascertain in whose interest We pre-
posed to work in the coming contest.
To all such We have but to reply that the

District have a work to do il. they hope
to succeed hat will require all the pru-
deuce and sagacity that can be brought

made in our Congressional District has
without doubt reduced our majority.
This was the only object the DEMOCRACY
had in making the change and it has
been accomplished. But We have still a
good working majority and We cannot lie
defeated except through our own folly
and want of unanimity. Let US then
like sensible men enter upon the cam
paign with a determination to succeed
aud to allow no obstacle to. stand in the
way of that success. The opposite party.
will be thoroughly organized and will
have but one candidate. a multiplicity
of candidates on our side is certain de-
feat. We must therefore select a man
upon whom VIC can all unite and who
will receive the hearty and concicncious
support of all true Republicans. z

Public Sale.

The following advertisement has
appeared;
Senator Fenton, of New York,
will be in Washington during the
session of the convention, and for
several days after. He is the accred-
tied representative of Mr.. Greeley
on all questions pertaining to office
and patronage, and is authorized to
make promises which the new ad-
ministration will fulfill. Democrats
and Liberals, who want such favors,
are referred to Fenton. He is ar
ranging the patronage not only of
New York. but Illinois and Missouri,
and has already promised several
MissouTians first consulships. He
is Greeley's chief adviser, and will
be his principal cabinet officer, if
elected.
No doubt Reuben is an expert
auctioneer, and Greeley is fortunate
in securing his services. But it
looks like a fraud to advertise the
sale when there is no probability
that he will get the goods.
