Height of Trees.

fishes these two simple methods of ascer-
tanning the heights of trees or other OBJ

/. Place rod perpendicularly in the
ground, so that there shall be say five feet
above ground, and measure the length oil
its shadow; then measure the shadow of
the tree whose height is required to be
known, and it can readily be arrived at as a
rule-of-three sum. Thus, supposing the
shadow from the five-foot rod to measure
seven feet, and the shadow of the tree to
measure 1870 feet, il will stand thus:
AS #: IT,: l2O IT,: So 5 it,,

D. e., at what would be the centre of the

be attached. Screw in two small brass
eyes on the straight edge, so that they NAV

The tactics of the Modoc Indians, who
are now spreading terror over the newly
settled portions of California, are different
from those usually adhered to in savage
warfare. About a year ago they had Il
grand feast and series of dances, and i'm
proved this opportunity to get all the
small bands together and hold conven-
tion to revise their laws and usages of
warfare. They resolved, after several
days debate, to abolish scalping and mu--
tilation of the bodies of their victims also,
to abstain from making war on wome n
and children, and to this latter regulation
is due the fact that in very few instances
have they molested the families of ranch
men whom they murdered. Capt. Jack
has some desperate fighters, and the only
way to dslodge these Indians is said by
old ranchmen to fight them ten to one,
and to 60 into battle with the expectation
Of losing u number OF men. Scarfaced

The sinking fund established by acts of 1850
and 1868 are rapidly accumuIaiing, and will be
amply sufficient to meet the debt AS it natures.
Exclusive of the mill tax, the State tax OF
1872 was reduced fifty or sixty thousand dollars
from the previous year. The taxpayers will
now be glad to learn that in the opinion of the
Treasurer, if there are no extraordinary appro-
priations made by this legislature. the State
tax for the year 1873 can be reduced to five
mills on Il dollar, being Il reduction of $l70 900
from the State tax of 1872.
While it is our duty to provide for all Just
and necessary expenses, we shall, L trust, eX-
eicise the most rigid scrutiny in regard to all
our appropriations and disbursements. I Shall
be happy to cooperate with you i'll all proper
measures calculated to develop the resources of
the State, and to advance the moral and intel
lectual growth of the people.
EDUCATION.
For Il complete exhibit of the educational
work of the State, you are referred TO the re-
port of the State Superintendent of Public
Schools. He makes some Important sugges-
tons that will, trust receive your careful con-
sideration. Our Normal schools are doing
well, but the demand for thoroughly trained
teachers is greater than they can supply. In
Il Government like ours, where the source of
power is in the people, free schools and gener-
al education are the surest guarantees of good
government and the perpetnity of free institu-
tions. The material prosperity and moral stand
ing OF the State correspond with the degree of
intelligence among the people. The State that
best educates its people, will, other things be-
ing equal, be the strongest and most prosper
Gus. Education lifts up the masses, and Sc
cures greater equality of wealth and influence
1t creates individual strength and reliance ig-
norance brings weakness and dependence. 1t
secures progress; the neglect of it carries us
backward. 1t brings national power and re-
spect; through ignorance both are forfeited
Our hope is in the intelligence of the people;
our danger is in the ignorance that is controlled
by corrupt men. To the forces which etiuca-
ton has planted in the heart the brain and the
conscience of the people, we owe our success
in the past, and upon them we rest our hopes
of the future. This grand superstructure of
free government which we are building can only
rest securely upon the immovabe enduring
foundation of universal public education.

aD- We had the pleasure during
tho past week of receiving visit
from Col. J. P. Thomas; the Principal
of the Carolina Military Institute, To-
Gated at Charlotte, North Carolina.
Col. Thomas is well known to our
people from his long connection with
the State Academy in Colum-
bia as its able Superintendent; as the
fearless and Independent Editor sue
ccssfully of the Phenir and Caro'inia";
and as the eloquent canvasser in be-
half of The Blair and Seymour ticket
of 1868. His Institute opened in Oc-
tobcr last with four professors. and
has now an encouraging attendance
Of students. With n full curriculum
of study, and able professors, it seeks
to impart high grade Of scholarship,
and appeals to the generous patronage
of the whole South. Among its pa
irons it numbers Col. Aiken, and
other well.known citizens.

INSURANCE. - We direct attention
to the advertisement Of Messrs. Du.
Pre- & Perrin, who are the active and
polite agents here Of the "Georgia
Home" the "Gcrmania and Home" of
New York, and the "Old Dominion"
of Richmond, Va. They represent in
all capital of over Sl0,00O,0O0, and
are prepared to take risks upon prop
erty of all kinds, including gin-houses,
cotton, etc. The Companies they
represent arc Of the most reliable
character. The Home, of New York,
has paid since its organization over
eighteen millions of dollars. The
capital and assets Of these Companies
range among the millions, and afford
a sufficient guarantee that all losses
will be promptly paid. 1t is tho part
of true wisdom TO insure ones prop
erty now, and we can commend tothe
patronage of our frinds those repre-
sented by Messrs. DuPre & Perrin.
Give them call.

THE PLACE TO EDUCATE YOUR
DAUGHTERS.

1t is with just pride that Able
vile may congratulate herself upon
the efforts which she has made in
the cause Of education, and that in
the number and excellence of her
various institutions of learning she
stands unsurpassed, and perhaps
unequaled. Prominent among the
best institutions of the State, we
would mention the Masonic Fe-
male College, located at Cokesbury,
under the Presidency of Mr.. Benet,
whose scholarly attainments and
administrative abilities eminently
fit him for so responsible and dig
nified a position. In this great
work of education he Is assisted by
an able and efficient corps Of teach
ers, who possess in large degree
the art of imparting instruction,
of controlling their pupils, and OF
commanding their respect and con-
fdence. The location of this Col
lege is also very attractive feature.
1t is in the midst of a moral and
pious community of excellent peo-
pie and where they may enjoy the
pleasure of attending religious ex-
erciscs every Sunday at the various
churches of the town. The atmos-
phere is as free from malaria as the
summit of the Blue Ridge itself,
and, as a consequence, the health
of the town is as good as that OF
the most favored locality in the
State. The pupils Of this College
are not subjected to many Of the
petty annoyances that are so often
met with at other Colleges, and we
believe this College which has so
lately been organized, has only to
be known to receive the largest pa
tronage accorded to any similar in
|stitution in the up-country, Ma
sons everywhere, we doubt not,
will take a lively interest in an in
stitution which was organized at
their instance, and whose enter
prise and liberality have reared and
paid for the superb College build
ing, which is a credit to the frater-
nifty and the pride of the beautiful
village which it ornaments.-W.

THE LEGISLATURE, in pursuance Of
the Governors proclamation, met on
yesterday at the State capitol The
present financial condition of the
State, the adjustment of the debt;
and the collection of the taxes will
form the important subjects for con-
sideration. His Exccllcncy, it is said,
will favor the issue Of ono million of
dollars, in bills receivable, to be taken
in payment Of taxes, as tho best
mode of relieving the present strin-
gency of the money market. The
SUGGESTION seems to be O good one,
and is said to have received the Ia
vorable consideration OF various
prominent leaders.
