.EDiToRs CHRONICLE Il ask per.
mission through your columns to call
the attention of the Gas Company or
those having it in charge, to the char
acter of the gas they are furnishing
their consumers. 1t is getting to be
so offensive that it is almost impossible
to use it, especially with closed doors
and windows; and during these very
cold nights they cannot be left open
with comfort to the inmates. No place
in the country, I am informed, pays
more, if so much. as we do for gas. and
it is nothing buf right that we should
have pure article. The gas manufao-
tured here has a sulphurous smell,
which, of itself, is very disagreeable
and, it is believed, quite unhealthy.
and if the Superintendent of the
works cannot improve it, lamps and
oil will soon take its place.
Now that Pittsburg coal can be had
at moderate price, it does seem that
good gas could be made and furnished
to consumers, who pay so much for it.
The present article will not do, and l
do trust it may at once be improved.
Candles, lamps, or anything that will
not choke the consumer is preferable.
We prefer gas if made right, but
smoke and sulphur is not what we
want in ours. A CONSUMER.

The Teachers Institute.

We publish in to-day's issue a call
from the County Superintendent for a
Teachers Institute, to be held in the
city from the 9th to the 3lst inst. We
are informed by the Superintendent
that the Institute proper will be con-
Quoted during the day under the skill
full management Of Prof. a. S. Loven-
thai, Kentucky, whose noble, self-sac-
rifcing efforts in behalf of education
in that State, have won for him the
highest marks Of encomium- from
Superintendent Henderson, and the
universal plandits of the people. His
signally marked skill as an Institute
conductor, will render the exercises of
the Institute peculiarly instructive and
entertaining to all. In the evenings
there will be appropriate addresses de-
liyered on such educational subjects
as the orators may select The Super
intendent also informs us that commit
tees on arrangements and entertain
ments have already been appointed,
and that committees ON music and pro-
gramme are being arranged. We have
the list Of the committees on arrange
ments and entertainment, and we feel
assured that we give no offense to
others of our citizens, who are fully
capable and equally as deeply interest
ed in the cause, when We say that the
selection is an admirable one. Mr..
Ed. Lewis is chairman of the commit
tee on entertainment. The committee
on arrangements will be convoked by
Mr.. III. c. Merritt, the committee not
yet having selected chairman.
We have also had a peep at the list
Of those embraced in the committee
on music and, though as yet incom-
plete, we find there the names of some
of our most gifted vocalists. The OBJ
ject of the committee is to secure
music for the Institute. Every one is
invited to participate. Certainly no
one who has at heart the educational
interest of the county and who feels,
as every one must, the importance of
having the very best instructors to
watch over and direct the educational
training of the youth of the county
will fail to attend. When We reflect
that there is not single white normal
school now in operation in the State.
and that through the agency of Teach
er's Institutes alone can the work of
training teachers be accomplished,
until such schools are started, we hope
that the lethargic Indifference and sell
fish prejudices of our citizens will be
for once and forever laid aside, and
that they will unite with the County
Superintendent in his efforts to make
the Public School system of Mont
gomery County the best in the
State.

WE are frequently asked why we

WE are frequently asked why We
do not urge upon the Corporate au-
thorities, the Importance, to the bust
ness of GAINESVILLE, of free bridges
We have long believed that the trade
of the city has been damaged more
than enough to pay for the bridges and
make them free. But we must go back
behind the cost of getting in, and out
of, the town to account for its want of
growth in wealth and population. 1t
is an old and wise saying, that to
have things well done, do them your
selves; and in nothing is it more
strictly true than in the management
Of corporate matters. We are at a
loss to know how it is that capitalists
and property holders are content to
confde their most important inter-
ests to the discretion of such agents
as the accidents of elections may place
in authority. Business men make
nothing by leaving to others the choice
of their business agents, and until
they take hold of the finance of the
city and, by implication, all of its
material interests, progress must be
slow, if not impossible. The cry, that
we hav mt time from our private affairs
to devote to the public welfare, if sat
isfactory to themselves, is clearly so to
the mass of citizens who have little at
stake.

Clarksyille Female Academy.

The second term of the present ses-
sion of this deservedly popular Insti-
tuition, under the control of Rev. j.
NJ Wright, will commence next Mon
day. The patronage continues to be
good, and patrons are highly pleased
with the discipline and thorough
instruction impaired to the children.
We trust that the worthy President
may be promptly paid, so as to enable
him to keep this excellent school up
to its present high standard. All in
debted to him should 60 at once and
pay up, as it is impossible to conduct
school of such magnitude without
promptness on the part of its patrons.
He has quite a number of highly ed
ucated, accomplished lady teachers,
who command large salaries-the
boarding department is large, and re-
quires a vast outlay of flashlights,
fuel, and many other incidental expen-
ses have to be paid for in cash-there-
fore it will be seen that where there is
such a burden of expense that
prompt payment on the part of
patrons is absolutely necessary to sue
cess, and none will secure the good
results of its success more than the
pupils who attend.
