A Observation-Disclosures Repub-
licans of Madison district, seem to have
some difficulty in determining the time
when their primary meeting is to e,held.
On last Saturday evening quite a number
of the faithful, assembled at the old city
Hall. over the Second ward market house
for the purpose of selecting candidates
for county and school commissioners,
Justice of the peace and constable, yet
from some cause the 'proper authority
said that was not the night, and the faithful
dispersed without making any nomina-
tions. It seemed to be generally under
stood that last night was the correct
time, SO about thirty persons assembled
and and were about ready to commence
business, when they were informed by
our friend, Mr.. Blair, the tall syca-
more of the Seventh ward, and
who is member of the ke-
publican County Executive Com
mittee from Madison district, that they
were mistaken; that Tuesday night was
the time fixed. This postponement didn't
seem to take very well with those pres
ent, and there were low mutterings that
all was not exactly on the square, and
were inclined to believe that some KIND
of skulldudgery was going on. How
ever, they slowly dispersed from the hall
with the determination Of coming in
force again tonight, and see what this
L;,d Of DrncrsstiDetiOn meant

AFTER THIEF.-On the 18th Of this
month. Lewis Travis had about $50
stolen from him. From some cause sus-
picon fell upon a young man named AL
bert Ray, who lives in Centre Wheeling,
and from the fact that Ray jumped the
town shortly after the robbery, the sus-
picion that he was the guilty party was
strongly confirmed. Officer st. Myers had
the case in hands, and he soon discovered
the whereabouts of the flown bird, which
was in the vicinity of Littleton, on the b.
g. R.R. The above officer startad on
in that direction Sunday morning, and
was successful in finding the object Of
his search. Ray was arrested about
eight miles back of Littleton, and was
brought back to this city Sunday night
RAY was taken before Squire Gillespy
Yesterday. for examination, but the hear
ing of the case was continued until this
evening at o'clock. The justice held
him in the sum of 81, 500 for his appear
snce and in default of bail he was COM
mittcd to Jail.

OVER THE BAYK.-A horse and cart
belonging to Robert Seymour was back
ed over the steep bank below the suspen-
sion bridge, yesterday afternoon. In
dumping" load of dirt the cart was
backed too close to the edge of the bank
and went over. The horse escaped with
slight injuries which is something re-
markablc considering the distance and
with what velocity he made his transit
from the top to the bottom.

The Public Meeting Mt The Court
House.

Editors of the Register
In regard to the public meeting held
at the Court House, on Saturday night
last, | am not prepared to speak Of it as a
sublime fzzle.' 1t was laudable effort
on the part of some of our best citizens
to raise the educational standard among
US. If it accomplished nothing else, it
has tended at least to arouse our people
from that state Of apathy which has
hitherto existed on the subject and to
call their attention TO the importance Of
having our educational intrustcd to tn"
hands of suitable persons.
! did not understand it to be the object
of those who called the meeting at the
Court House, to make ali assault upon
the old Board Of Education, although
there are some who do not consider that
Board by any means invulncrabIc, or n
fully representing the intellectual and
moral status of our citizens. That there
are some worthy members in the existing
Board is cheerfully admitted; that there
are those whose services ought 10 be dis
pensed with, is matter notorious, |
think, to all.
There was a very good reason why the
meeting at the Court House should not,
have assailed the existing Board, viz:
That such step would have been exact
" playing into the hands of the ward
politicians, Just the thing they desired.
By exciting personal quarrels it would
have defeated effectually the object had
in view in calling the meeting.
As matters have turned out it only re-
mains that the ward politicians Of each
party to make their nominations and that
those who desire to put suitable men in
the Board Of Education, 90 upon the &c
lectic system and cast their votes for such
persons as they may deem best qualified,
without regard to party affiliations. Let
them vote in other cases as they may
deem best, but let them spare no effort to
withdraw the educational interests of our
city from the maelstrom of party politics.
GOOD HoPE.

RETURNED FOR BETTER DIRrcTIoSs

RErURNEp FOR BETTER DIRECTIoNs.
There is one thing that is aggravatng.
1t is to write an important letter, close 1t
in hurry, stick stamp on it sideways
or upside down, scribble few hierogiy'
phics for the directions, post itpaia ner-
vous haste, so as to have it go in the FIRST
mail, and then, two days afterward have
it returned to you for better directions.
The most satisfactory swearing ever in
vented in English is but poor impover-
ishel stuff to use on such an occasion
All YOU can do is to just grind your teeth
and growl. There is no balm in GiIead
for such an occasion.
Next to it, however, is the agony OF "a
letter carrier when he can't make out the
directions of a letter he has to deliver.
He takes it, looks at it, and oPrevent i'm
mediate consequences begins to murmur
one of the prayers he learned in his
childhood. The next scene is too vivid
for ordinary pen, ink and paper. After
he has travelled around the entire route
he has got used to it, and calmly returns
to the Office "for better directions" but
he waits and waits with quiet faith that
some time or other a good providence
will just let him get his hands on the
man who directed that letter. One letter
carrier usually gets from five to eight OF
these letters every week or so, and if he
doesn't have a good, substantial mora
nature he is aptto forget that there is
place above.

now of equal length, and after few.
days, as the sun recedcs from the equa-
tor, the days will rapidly shorten, until
the eighth of December, the winter SOL

approach the equinoctial line until the
