carriage shop owned by Dornsifc &
Green situated three fourths of mile
northeast of Eldon was consumed by
fire on Friday night, Aug 10th. Every
thing was completely destroyed. Loss
estimated $500. No insurance
Thesfire is supposed to b the work Of

in the main building or finishing

burned. The fire when first seen was
about two hours before the shower
and thunderstorm, and was nearly
burned down by the time it began to
thunder and lightning; SO it must have
been set on fire. T. Ii. II.

EDS. COURIER Permit me to say,
Though the columns Of your paper,
a few words in regard to the Normal
School held here.
This school, as its name indicates, is
designed especially for teachers. A
school in which the practical duties
and difficulties of every day life in the
School-room are discussed.
Teaching is science: And the
great problem of the age, in this de-
partment, is to discover the best
method ofteaching.
The teacher often finds himself at
| fault ;-often at a loss how to proceed,
and he asks himself, "How shall !
conduct this recitation? What method
must pursue, in order to make the
lesson clear and at the same time at
tractivev Now the design of this
school is to assist the teacher in meet
ing and solving these problems.
i This School was opened according
to announcement, on the 9TH Of Aug.
II is conducted by Mrs. Ives, and Mrs
Peck, teachers of undoublcd ability
ladies well qualified for the position
The attendance during the first weel
was small, but is on the increase AM

to find SO many teachers who we know
!. would be benefited by the instruction
given here, are sighting this oppor
tunity, which they may perhaps rcgre
not that they can learn all that is nc
cessary in ono month, for that is in
possible, but the teacher, who assume
the responsibility Of moulding III
mind, and forming the character 9th
\ rising generation, should take advai
. tage Of every opportunity presente,
to qualify himself for the task. III

Died.
Mary Kirkpatrfck died in Kirkville
August 10th, 1879, aged SO years {
months and ~ days.
Peacefully she passed to the spirit
land, with the words "My trust is iii
the Lord" on her lips. She leaves
four generations to mourn her death.
The infirmitics Of age almost imper-
ceptibly grew upon her, until her life
was wasted away.
For the past four or five years she
has been confined to her bed. Death
came at last and let her spirit fly to
rest
We watched her breathing through the night
Her breathing soft and low;
Az in her breast, the waves Of life,
Kept heaving to and fro.
Our very hopes belled our fears,
Our fears our hopes hopes belied;
We thought her dying when She slept,
And asleep wien size died.
For when the morn came, dim and sad,
And chill with early showers;
Her quiet eyelids closed, she had
Another morn than ours.
