morganize the Colony of New Eng

charter made no provision for amend
~ itself or for calling Il convention,
u6fition to, or the will of the King be-
r. the only way, the people numbered
Il6ng on very unrepublican basis.
Under the charter only real estate
holders and their eldest sons could
vie or hold office, that being the old
nSclish rule. consequently the great
~Sioritv of the people were diStran-
sk3scl. Naturally enough thew were
vGry restive under such rules and
~scve to amend. There was, how
sser no way provided for calling a
institutional convention, and the ins

the number of men is two or more; they
carry provisions sufficient to last week or
ten days. with cooking utensils and plenty
of blankets, and the feeding grounds are
reached by two full days Of steady driving.
There are some settlers, but no accommO-
dations are looked for, and the hunters
always camp out, sleeping on the ground
or in their wagons. There has been little
snow, and of course no rain, so that the
roads are hard and dry, but the nights are
frosty and sharp, and those not used to
camping shver in the cold and get blinded
with the smoke. Those who understand
the case will take fuel along, for all timber
ceases 80 miles below Greeley; and if
wood has been neglected, the only resource
is buffalo chips, which burn quickly, but
make a great smoke. 1t is by no means
easy to come near enough to buffalo to get
a chance to shoot desirable animals, such
as fat calves or dry cows Many of the
inexperienced find that the meat costs
them fully 10 cents pound. Good hunt
ers however, crawl along the ground or
wait in gulches and they have great sue
cess The meat is brought to the towns in
quarters, and it sells from three to four
cents a pound. At first the taste is not
relished, and usually a year passes before
one comes to like it; then it is preferred to
beef, and choice animals are equal to the
best stall. fed. The meat is cooked in a
great variety of ways, and the bones make
excellent soup. Mixed with pork, fine saus-
age is produced, and in minee pies it re-
minds one of New England. Large guam
titles of hind quarters are picked "a or AZ
hours, hung up and dried, and the result
is highly desirable food, undoubtedly
superior to beef. Some men have made
this branch special business, and they
have dried several thousand pounds. The
robes are brought to the towns and usually
sold at So each, There are tanneries or
curing establishments at Greeley, which
buy all the green robes offered, and after
curing them, ship them to eastern cities in
bales of ten each. 1t is said that the white
mems curing is inferior to that of the In
dians; this ought not to be disputed. for it
is the female Indian who does the curing
and no one would be so rude as to deny
that her workmanship is superior.

MIR. EDIToR:-Much has been said in
the columns Of this paper on education,
school government, &c. Nearly every
week we have lengthy epistle from some
one. Surely our Maryland schools should
be the very pink Of perfection, after receiv-
ing SO much good advice; but how are we
to act? One says teacher is no teacher,
or poor one, who keeps pupil in for not
being able to recite his lessons thoroughly,
and highly recommends free use of the
birch, &c. Last week we were highly rec
commended to govern our schools by lore.
| agree with them both to certain ex-
tent, and yet l must disagree. The rod
serves good purpose to some and is the
only means that reaches their feelings.
while there are others that it would only
iniure. Teachers have much to learn after
they have graduated in books. They must
study the pupils disposition. 1t is just as
necessary as for dyspeptic to study out
him. While one may eat one thing and
agree with him, another may eat similar
food and suffer intensely from it. A
teacher may rule to certain extent by love,
if agreeable she should be, and is loved by
the little ones of both sexes; the larger
girls generally love her, and are loved in
return: but whether we can safely say she
should love and be loved by the big boys, we
will let some one else answer; but it is
sufficient, if they do their part in progress
and behavior, she will feel that they are a
great help to her in her difficulties; but
there are a certain class of boys that have
never been touched with the feeling of
love for anything but making as much
trouble for their teacher as possible; they
60 under the name of no-prncipled boys;
the only way you can reach their feelings
is by divesting them of their coat and
Jacket, and applying the birch most dex-
trously. l have found it to touch their feel
ina. rhen all other means failed
1t is true, many pupils of the present
day would rather govern than be governed;
but we would advise the writer, if he is a
parent, to examine carefully his children
at home, and see if they do not exhibit
some of that spirit towards him. If it is
well nipped at home, it will not be so
