A NEW SCHOOL.

The l4th Civil District is to have a
new school. Mr.. J. c. Yoder, one of our
shrewdest teachers, is going to Pleasant
Valley Church to organize a school. The
people in that section have been trying
for ateacher for some time. The District
needs a good school. Mr.. Yoder, is just
the teacher to build up the school inter-
est in this part Of the county. And the
people are fortunate in securing his SER
vices. The people must bestir themselves
and prepare to build a good school house
at an early day. This they are able to do,
for Pleasant Valley is an excellent neigh
borhood and the citizens are anxious to
have a good school. Let them improve
the present opportunity, and thus secure
the services of one of our best teachers.

And this should exhibit a representation
Of real wit and humor, and not the coun.

regard to the nature Of their closing exer.

ner, wish a great portion of the time

making preparations for mere display.
Your correspondent was present at the
close Of a school, a few weeks since.
and a portion Of the exercises were yery
interesting. The declarations, ESSAYS,
&c. were very good but the great num-
Der and length of comic dialogues. speech
es' etc, destroyed everything like inter-
est in the exercises. No other result
could have reasonably been anticipated,
as it was after one o'clock at night when
the exercises closed. Now I believe that
teachers are to blame for this manner of
closing their schools.
If the pupils. or patrons, should really
desire a school to be closed in this way.
the teacher should mildly, but firmly re.
fuse to comply; and If they should go
away and pronounce the exercises dull
and uninteresting, he should take such
criticisms as 4 compliment.

June Is, 1878.
EDITORS HERALD AND tribune:
Well, what do the people think of u,
abroad? Here we are with our erizoo,
tics, small PIX plaques, cerebro,spinal
Meningitis, and Asiatic epidemic cholera,
all in regular succession like kite, stills
and marble time among the boys. The
Modoc war, the Louisiana squabble and
White House etiquette may answer very
well for side issues or carolrics to our
local problem-Sensation, about which
VIC can beat the world l bet.
Badinage aside. The scare about
Asiatic epidemic Cholera here has been
most efcctual, Thousands of families
having hurried of pell nell, and left us
alone like some banquet hall deserted.
One old bachelor, roomiug near the Max
well House, had it on the mind, sent ev.
cry hour or so for Lis physician, and asked
"Well, doctor. how is the choleraf'
Dad, very bad. Miss Smith has not
died, and | have as much as | can do"
Just then the old bachelor would clan
his manipulators to bis ponderous abdom,
inal p~rotuberance aud cxclaim: "Oh!
| have a pam just here, good God, doc.
tor, do something for me-"
Now the safe conclusion is that the
prevailing disease is but little more severe
at this time in the year than the ordina-
ry combined influences Of common cholera
infantum, summer complaint or writing
spring diarrhea from ordinary causes but
that the sensation mongers have really
augmented the force by the encourage
ment Of the singular disposition we have
for morbid sensations. There is no unu-
sual sickness within my acquaintance N

TEXT ROCKS.

The Teachers Institute in recommend.
ing a uniform series of school books did o
wise thing. We hope the District Birec.
tor and teachers will have an eye single to
the early adoption of the series of books
recommended. 1t may not, in all cases,
be practical to adapt all the books at once.
The action of the Institute will not me-
cessitate much change as most of the books
are already in the schools. We want the
cooperation of teachers, directors and the
people in this matter. Within the next
year, entire uniformity can be secured.
n that too, at no additional expense.
The action o:e the Institute should be sus.
tanned, and uniformity thus easily and
quietly secured.

TEACIIERs'

The Teachers Institute had quite q
successful meeting last week at johnson
City. The attendance was larger than
anticipated. The nature of the exercises,
the harmony that prevailed among the
teachers, the practical work, all bear ev-
ioence that the teachers and friends of
common schools are really in earnest.
Several important questions were dis
posed of. A uniform system of text
books was adopted. Six hours was
thought to be long enough for a school
day. 1t was recommended that teachers
undergo a written examination before OBJ
tanning certificates of qualification. Col.
1. Ii. Reeves introduced q resolution au.
thorizlng the County Superintendent to
issue three grades of Teachers Certificates
and that teachers be paid according to
the grade of certificate, The resolution
created considerable discussion and was
finally laid over until the next meeting of
the Institute.
The papers read were generally eminent.
ly practical and well received. The class
drill, however. seemed to interest the
teachers more than anything else. This
wo undertake to say, lisa very commenda-
BILE feature. Our teachers want practical
work. They, as a general thing, are
striving to improve themselves. Several
lady teachers were present and took part
in the exercises and added much to the
general interest of the Institute.
The citizens of johnson City entertain
ed the teachers and their friends most
Hospitality, Such favors the Institute
gratefully acknowledged, by appropriate
resolutions. The next meeting will be

A Cure ser Cholera,

In view Of the fact that other portions
Of cur State are being scourged with that
dreadful disease, cholera, it behooves eyery
one to Immediately provide themselves
with the best known remedies, for, to be
cured at all, cholera must be cured quickly.
The first symptom Of this disease is usually
a painless diarrhoea, accompanied with y
feeling of ooldness in the bowels. Where
the cholera is prevailing no other warning
is necessary, but the person attacked should
Immediately lie down and keep quiet, have
a large mustard poultice prepared and
cover the entire abdomen. To stop the
diarrhoea nothing has yet been discovered
more efficient than DR.. Lytls's Elixir, ia.

be stubborn and pain and cramp follow,

thanks for the liberal donation given us
at DR.. Mahonoy's Friday evening. The
variety, excellence, and suitahleness Of
the gifts, render them peculiarly accept

however, as expressions of regard and

the presents we're made by persons of
other Christian denominations. For their
interest in our welfare, we return most
cordial thanks. That all may be richly
supplied with the good things CT this life,
and, at last, receive the reward Of the
