Mr.. ENToR-The night ofthe 2lst
Of March found us, with many others,
At Bethel Church, in the northwest cor
ner Of Monroe township, to witness
the closing exercises of the Bethel
school. taught BY Mr.. Frank c. Matte
son. To say that the many, who lis
tened to the dcclamations and witnessed
the comic performances Of some Of the
actors, were highly pleased with the
entertainment. would give but . faint
impression Of the systematic training
that the school has undergone during
the last five months. Where all did %
well, it would be impossible to paxtic-
ularize, but We cannot forbear to say
that the presence of the teachers broth
er,, II. W. Matteson added greatly 10 the
merriment Of the occasion. Is b need
less to say hat Hiram, in the infmitable
character Of Ben. Buster, kept the house
in . continuous roar Of laughter, and
added new laurels to his already YER
dxnt wreath.
We learned incidentally that Bethel
school was paying Mr.. Matteson more
than the usual salary, and that, togcth-
or with the exercises Of the evening
showed the people Of 0ae discreet were
fully alive to the great cause Of public
education.
We were glad to learn that the young
giant MOnroe has determined to secure
none but the best Of teachers TO teach
her pupils, let it cost what 1t will, thus
setting q noble example for the rest
Of the townships in this grand old coun-
ty of ours.
We were satisfied by what we saw
and heard, that the school just closed
had been a success; 20 much 10, that
We were told that they were DESTROYS
TO secure the services Of Mr.. Matteson
for an eight months term next fall and
winter.
Bethel school has hitherto horne the
name Of being . hard school to govern.
but we are happy to say that the teacher
informed us that it had never been his
lot to teach . more pleasant school,
We left the church fully impressed
with the opinion that the cause ofpublic
instruction is moving nobly onward TO
forever nj yignorance and suPerstition
beneath the enlightenment Of the people

SAVANNAH. April I, 1873.
EDITOR RErtBLicAN-I am glad to
observe 4 determination ON the partof
the citizens Of various portions of the
county-Rochester township, in particu-
lar-so thoroughly test the question as
to whether township organization has
CT has not been adopted in Andrew

clear majority ofthe legal voters Of the
county are in favor Of It's adoption II
the comfy. At any rate, at the only
lection wnere an opportunity was pre-
sented to decide the question, . much
greater number Of affirmative votes
were polled than there were negative
votes. 1t would be reasonable TO divide
those who did not vote on that issue in
the same proportion u the polled vote,
which would give over FIVE hundred
clear majority ''for township ORGANIZE
ton" 1t must be . subject of regret by
all that the interest which now exists on
the subject was not equally manifest BE-
fore and at the election last fall, in
which case a full vote would have been
polled, and all doubts which have since
arisen in the premises in the minds Of
many been happily dispelled.
The disposition SO freely shown by
many advocates of the Township Organ
ization Law to vilify and brow-bea,
those individuals who have but present
ed nm opinion based upon the reading
Of the law, must be deprecated by all
good cit liens. The legal gentlemen
who have given legal opinions uponth thu
subject have good foundation for them,
and. although probably favoring the
adoption Of the law, are forced to make
decision" contrary to their best wish
Is.
Let US all do as some Of the townships
have already doue-so to work and
elect our township officers provided un'
der the Township Organization Law
despite all opinions regarding the aaop'
ton of that law and IL the Courts decide
against us, why We can wait until the
fali of 1874, when we ~ probably In
duce . sufficient number Of Cur citizena

His manners are not only disagreeablc,

not speak, nor can he understand a single
word. His parents suffered much incon-
venience on his first arrival at home, ow-
ing to his frequently attacking and trying
to dev0ur them at night and, indeed, it
was owing to his persistence in this UNI
filial conduct that they were compelled in
self-dcfcnse to place him under medical

THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING.

"A correspondent takes ground against
HIGH managers for horses, for the reason, as
he Y that they ~irritatc the thorax ami

His practice Is to feed from "a manger on a
level with the feet. and not over twenty
inches In front of them. This enables the
horse 10 eat according To nature, anu not
after the manner of the giraffe.
Stove luster, when mixed with turpen-
tine and applied ia the usual manner, i

than when mixed with amy other liquid.
The turpcntinc prevents rust, and when
put on an old rusty stove, viii make II

Cure for ~Founder.-As soon rs the
horse is found 10 be still swab the legs and
feet with hot water so that the hand can
not bear to touch il, but IL must not be so
hot AS TO scald. After a short time the
legs should be rubbed dry and the horse
gently exercised.

pour them into the melted butter. When

the bread. The whites should not be
beaten in hard, only stirred with the fork
enough to mix slightly with the rest.
Canning Fruit.-Ihe philosophy Of
canning fruit consists solely and simply IN

article will keep indefinitely. But TO do
