EDUCATION IN OHIO.

The progress Of education in
Ohio is well stated in the eighteenth
annual report of the School Com
missioner of the State, which has
just been issued. This official pa
per states there has been an en-
couraging increase in the daily at
tendance of pupils, and that the
vexed question of negro admission
has been, with few exceptions, sat
isfactorily disposed of. There are
now 13,402 colored males, and 1881
colored females under instruction.
During the year 1871, $50, ,51l males,
and 51S,537 females took advantage
of the public school system, at an
average cost of $l4,37 per head.
The Commissioner refers in a
mournful vein, to the multiplicity
of applications from young girls
who are desirous of assisting in the
work of training the youthful mind.
As a consequence, the salaries of
those who are already in office have
been reduced from $2S to 500 per
month; and, from present appear
ances, we should not be at all sur
prised to see the amount reduced to
$50. What makes the case of these
women particularly hard is, that
during the same time the salaries
of the male teachers have been in
creased from 500 to 81 per month,
although the duties are as nearly
alike as can be.

DIsAPP OMITTED oFFIcE-sEEKERs.

To-day Wednesday, the Gin Gin
natl Liberal Republican Convention,
composed of disappointed sore
headed office-seeking Republicans,
meets, the proceedings of which
will be anxiously looked for by
every reader, simply because of the
spirit by which it is prompted.
The leaders of this movement
are Trumbull of Illinois, Schurz
being his chief of staff, aided by
such men as Gratz Brown, Greeley,
Mcclure, Blair, Sumner, d Co.
Greeley is with Trumbull just
now. Greeley once said, ,and accus-
ed Senator Trumbull of being a
TRAITOR" insinuated he had been
bribed, accused him of perjury
and that his son expected to win
$4,000 by certain vote he gave in
'6S." Greeley of to-day rides in
the same boat with Trumbull.
Greeley uttered these eloquent
words not very long ago: ''We are
led by him who first taught our ar
mics to conquer in the West, and
subsequently in the East, also.
Richmond would not come to us
until we sent Grant after it, and
then it had to come. [Cheers. He
has nerer been defeated, and he
necer riU be. He will be as great
and successful on the field of poll
tics as on that of arms"

MOUNT vESUVIUS.

Mount Vesuvius, the greatest vol
cano in the world, has once more,
only after the lapse of few years,
burst forth in violence and with al
most unprecedented fury is hurting
its volumes of red hot earth into
the air and sweeping the valleys be-
low with liquid fire. The cable in
forms us that thus far the loss of
life has been fearful, especially
among tourists, who at the first re-
port of the eruption, were called
to Naples to witness the grand sight
of The angrily burning mountain.
Their excusable curiosity resulted
in their being engulphed in the fiery
torrents of lava that streamed forth
from the crater and the rended
mountain sides. Vesuvius is known
to all geographical scholars. Its
violence in past times has made it
historical. 1t lies on the East shore
of the bay of Masses about ten
miles East by Southeast OF the city
bearing the same name. The mount
ain stands 3,747 feet above the level
of the sea, and to the ordinary i'm
agination at all seasons fills the idea
of the internal regions-containing a
lake of imperishable and unquench-
able fire. 1t was Ncsuvius that in
angry outburst hid forever the proud
cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum,
in a deep covering of melting mass
es, striking down the people in the
pursuit of their avocations and en-
crusting houses and temples with a
solid shell of almost impenetrable
lava. The present outburst,a accord
ing to all the reports we have thus
far received, has been one of the
most terrific ever recorded in the
history of the awful mound of fire.

FROM oRRvILLE.
ORRvILLE, April 80,

ORRvILLE, April 30, -.
EDS. REPUBLICAN:-One day last
week l had the pleasure of visiting
printing office IN this county in
which not type of any kind is
to be found. 1t may seem a little
singular that the village of Mar
shallville has a regular lithograph-
ic establishment in full operation.
A German printer has recently 10
Gated there and is turning out all
kinds of job work, from a small la
bel to a large poster, by the litho-
graphic process. In the first place
he makes drawing of whatever he
wishes to print on transfer paper
from which it is transferred to a
very finely polished photographic
stone. Thereafter when the ink
roller is drawn over the stone the
ink adheres to that part only which
is covered by the transfer. When
everything is in readiness, the prin
ter can run off ajob with about as
much rapidity as a Washington
type press. When the job is COM
pleted the transfer is scrubbed off
the stone leaving the latter ready
for another job. Much of his work
displays unusual ingenuity. He is
now engaged in publishing church
music book, the workmanship on
which is superior to most of that
which come from first-class publish
ing houses. OF this book the first
edition will be five hundred or one
thousand copies. He can repro
duce any job of printing providing
it is printed on the transfer paper
and placed in his hands during the
same day. Civil engineers could
there have their drawings, maps,
town plots DC, reproduced in good
style. To those who have never
seen the like this novel printing Of
fee is quite curiosity. Twill send
you a copy of one of his common
productions.
An enthusiastic meeting in the
interest of the Wheeling and Lake
Erie Railroad was held at Evans
Hall last Friday night. Everything
is moving well and the road is con
sidered a certainty. Orrville will
be the central point on the road land
will, in all probability, be made the
dividing place between the two di-
visions. Glory enough for one
small town, providing, if, &c, &c.
The railway station seemed to be
an interesting place on Sunday on
account of the passing through
west of three heavy train loads
comprising A. Forepaugn's man,
moth circus and menagerie. The
first train, was made up entirely of
gorgeously painted wagons, pre-
senting an attractive scene. The
second train carried the horses and
few animals. The last train con-
tanned the baggage and band wag-
ons, with two elephants in an open,
high framed car in the rear. Some
of the officials of both roads will
meet here to day for the removal of
the old station building which will
be done this week. The erection of
the new union depot will be COM
menced as soon as the proposed
site is clear.
John Moncrief, a well known
clerk in the drug store Of d. L..
Moncrief, died Sunday morning of
consumption of the lungs.

WOOL.

Wool cannot be a profitable pro-
duct in most parts of the United
States when it commands less than
so cents a pound. According to
the calculations of prominent
Western farmer this is about its
actual cost in a washed condition,
including interest on the value of
the sheep, expense of wintering
and pasturage. Yet the Australian
and South American woods can be
delivered in New York for from
twelve to fifteen cents pound.
The farmer above alluded to, who
recently before an agricultural con-
vention in Wisconsin, urged in view
of the facts, the absolute necessity
of protection for wool growers.
There is no escape from his logic,
and it is reassuring to read of such
convincing arguments in favor Of
protection having been addressed
by an intelligent farmer to his breth-
rem. There will be no danger Of re-
lapse into the ruin of free trade if
the agricultural classes are only
kept wide awake on the subject.
The advocates of the British sys-
TEN lay down the general rule that
no nation should encourage either
the growth or manufacture of any
product which they can buy cheap
er-i. e., at less price in money
abroad. OF course, then, they
were candid, "stop growing WOOL"
as they are saying every day to the
manufacturers, who confess that
their industries, with all the rami-
flying interest depending upon them,
could not exist at present in free
competition with cheaper labor and
capital of Europe. Ii this advice
was everywhere adopted and acted
on, the United States would have
to abandon almost every pursuit ex-
cept the raising of cereals and cot
ton. Then if we continued to send
these abroad in return for fabrics,
how long before all our land would
be exhausted by the constant and
uncompensated drain, as those in
many parts of the Southern States
now are?
