Chicago has drawn heavily on Kenosha
County for teachers, and to-day counts as
among her ablest educators many who have
gone forth from our midst. Not many weeks
ago Miss Hattie Vinegar passed an unusually
rigid examination, and is now regularly en-
gagged in moulding the youthful mind of
Chicago. And now we have to report the
departure of Miss Sarah J. scribner who has
been among the most industrious and sue
cessful Of the long line of teachers that have
passed, as 1t were, in review before this COM
munity. Miss Scribner is succeeded in the
uperlnteLdencY of the North Side school, by
Mr.. Herbert Tears, young gentleman of un-
doubted ability, to whom we wish abundant
success in his new and untried field Of labor.

LONG BRANCH, Aug. %.
Twenty-Five years ago TO day, at s
o'clock in the evening in the City Of St.
Louis, Capt. Ulysses S. Grant was mar
ried to Julia Boggs Dent. To night
they celebrated ia quiet. becoming
manner, the silver anniversary Of that
happy event. Ii was at first decided that
the occasion should be commemoIated
by party TO which many hundred were
to be invited, but variety OF reasons
prevented. The recent aiiliction of the
President in the loss of his father, was
the principal cause for changing the ar
rangement, and the fact of the serious
and dangerous illness of Mrs. Grants
father made the change appropriate and
becoming. The family also naturally
shrank from an ostentatious celebration
OF the anniversary, and so the obser-
vance was Of the quietest character.
The President and his daughter and
two sons returned about noon 10 day
from their fatiguing journey through The
Eastern Mountains, a trip Mrs. Grant was
unable to take on account OF her presence
being required with her father. The
President, although much fatigued and
worn by his fornigbt's pleasuring, was in
excellent spirits tonight, and received
the ngratulalions and compliments of
those present with his usual good nature
and Zest
There were few present who recalled

Her dre.s was ragged her feet were bare.

Like a country girl in the field to hoe.

The Judge rode slowly down the lane,
Smoothing his horses chestnut name,
And asked drink from the spring that ncwed
Down from the pasture across the road.
She stopped and wrnsed the small tin cup,
And then with water filed IL up
Thanks, said the Judge; Il really think

He talked about the crops and trce-,
And sky and birds and IN ngs like these,

He'd give me some silks aad laccs dne,
And rather guess III make a shine.
I'd rde about with nothing to do
And learn sal Jones thing or two
The Judge looked back a. he climbed the hill,
And saw her hoeing with a will,
And mnItered, smart girl that must be,
A. any ever happened to see"
From this the thought was readily carried
To the kindre,i thought Of getting married.
