EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
y fine rain Saturday last.
a visible frost Sunday morning.
Nights cool, days hot; good to produce
chills and fever; although but little in
the neighborhood.
Joseph Miller has increa led the popu-
lation of Marmont by getting a family in
his house opposite the store. b
The new minister (Methodist) has been
taking a look at Marmonc, during the
past week.
John Boswell assembled the Marmont
singers last night, at the church. to take
little practice, lest they should come out
at the little end of the horn" at the Burr
Oak Picnic next Thursday. We have
been. informed that the Pretty Lake
School has sent them (the Marmonters
challenge. Go for Mem-do not lose
your reputation.
Coin Mr.. Y, your wisdom is highly APP
preciated. A pity, however, that you
cannot occasionally find something else
about which to write except Norwood
Reader" and Juno" Be careful that
you do not affirm more than you can sub
stantiate.
The peach crop is now in the hight of
its excellence. Luscious fruit We have
them in pie-we have them in sauce-and
we have them every way. No matter
whether they are only $780, more or less
bushel, just SO we could always have
them. that we may not OILY eat to reple-
ton, but sat;ate the covetous eye.
The Rev. o. II. Beebe, who has been
on the Winamac cicuit the past year, and
has oeen sent to Argos this conference
year, was announced to preach here last
night, so we went out to hear him; but
for some unexplained reason he did not
appear. Notwithstanding we were dis
appointed in hearing Mr. Beebe, we had
the pleasure of listening to the Rev. II.
Il. Bentz, who preached from the first
three verses of the 14th chapter of John.
We are now prepared to redeem the
pledge we made, with reference to the
graded or normal school at this place. as
taught by Mr.. Marshman, a very estima-
bic young man, and one of more than or.
binary intelligence Although we have
not had the pleasure OF visiting the school,
We have every reason to believe, in fact
we are told by those liz attendance, that
it is very interesting one. The SUBJ
joined list will show who are attending
the school so far as we eau call to mind :
The two Misses Duddleson, Lib and Ma
ry; Belle and Frank Morris, Catharine
Zechiel, Miss Shafer, Mss Annie Shoup
Of Pulaski county, Misses Ellen Shaw,
Elizabeth Medbonrn, Clara Miller, and
Messrs. Daniel Miller, Phillip Hill, Scott
Wiseman, ALERT IDurr, and - Stahl.
How pleasing to know that so many of
the youth of the county are seeking after
knowledge We say, go on; for of all
| the blessings with which we are endowed
there is not one so sublimsly grand as
education. 1t IS a companion which none
can take away, no enemy ALLEVIATE, and no
despotism enslave. 1t is at home friend,
abroad an introduction, in solitude SOL
ace, and in society an ornament. What is
man without education? a slave-a degra-
ded savage. But light up within him the
lamp of knowledge, and how wondrous
the transition! The seasons change, the
landscape lives, earth unfolds its fruits,
the ocean rolls in its might the heavens
display their consolidated canopy, and the
grand, animated spectacle of nature rises
revealed before him. The phenomena
which bewilder, the prejuGices which de-
base, the superstitions which enslave, all
vanish before education. Toll on; set
your mark high in wisdom's way; let no
obstacle deter till you shall have reached
the very acme of the hill OF science. La
