Imnortant % Tnx Assessors.

1t is very important that the tax Assessors
should come in immediately and
get their books. We understand that only
about half ofthem, have as yet taken ont
their books and blanks, and the law re-
quireS that they should meet on the 18th
Monday in March, with their books COM
pleted and equalize the same; and if the
assessors do not call and get them immedi-
ately, IL viii bc impossible for them TO be
able to complete the same by the time re-
quired by law, and ii is very important
that every one should pay particular atten-
ton TO the assessment OF their property as
they are their own assessors by law. Prompt
ness and strict attention 10 the assessment
of property, will save the tax payers great
deal of trouble and expense. Unless the
tax payer has real estate or personal proper
- over $1,000 in value it is not necessary that
the assessor should furnish him with an
assessment blank,

Prot. Loventhal was very interesting
and satisfactory. He shortened the old
method greatly. He then gave an exer-
else on the Word Method, showing how
he would teach children to spell and read
and at the same time teach them Pho
MICS. This was one of the most impor-
tsnt exercises of the meeting. Mr.. ALI
Burnett being in the room was introduce
ed and gave some very appropria te re-
marks upon the subject just discussed
by Prof. L.; after which he gave some of
his inimitable readings and recitations,
the former touching and beautiful and
the latter very amusing and humorous.
Prof. TlmmonS next read a paper on
Fractions, in which he set forth his
method of teaching. The Institute was
then entertained with a song, Little
Brown Jug" by some of the little girls,
which was enjoyed immensely. DIR.
Smith then read paper on Definitions
showing therein that many of the dis
cussions are useless and could be avoid
ed il we would only have correct definN
itions. The DR.. took issue with all of
the Philosophers and says that it is not
necessary TO define a thing by referring it
to it's genus and species, but that it is
only necessary to tell what the thing is
and that nine-tenths of the words are
so defined. The essay was excellent and
evinced great deal of thought.
The Post~office Box was then opened
and quite a number of questions read

School>mates whom l once saw stand

when they sung, like myself, the

When clouds of darkness seemed to

had fallen, and no bow of promise SEEM

heart gazed out through my tears, it
was then that heavens ear seemed to
be open to the plaintive cry of boy in
the deepest distress; it was then MY ev-
er to be adored friends threw their SYM
pathetic voices into my ears, and babe
me onWdT'd and upWGrd; it was then
that some of the sons and daughters of
our beloved Zion, took their harpS from
the willows, and threw to me the heav-

such friends 1 shall eyer live, and may
heaven bless them in the dying hour,
with zephyrs to fan their wearied spir~

up the shining way, to the throne of
God.
For those who have been prosecutors,

nay they learn that "lChcrc there is q

life does not SO much depend upon a
continued rise, as to know how to get
up when knocked down. Duty has
led me into new field of labor, yet 1
am none the less attached to the church.

To the Editor ofthe Herald and Mud:
Knowing the objections entertained and
urged by many, TO Conventions, Primary
Elections, and all other plans resorted
to in selecting candidates for the different
county offices, l beg leave to submit through
the HERALD AND MAIL, plan by which l
think all these objections and diff
culties can be remedied, Suppose all the
aspirants meet in Columbia and deposit
with some person selected by them, a suffi-
ctent amount of money, say SIS each, to pay
twenty-five men zone man in each district
to take the vote of the county. In selecting
men to take the vote, let each candidate
place the name of some man in the list civil
district in nomination and then elect one
from that number, and when they have
thus elected man in each district, provide
each OF them with the names of all the as
pirantS, a ballot-boX "locked," and blank
book, and instruct them to visit each voter
in their respective districts, and without
expressing any preference for any candi-
date, urge them to place their votes in the
box, at the same time take down the name
of the voter. And when they have COM
pleted their duties, let them meet in Co
lumbia, select judges from their own num-
Der, COUNT the votes, and see that the num-
Der of votes in each box corresponds with
the list of votes in each district,and thereby
give the people their. choice, and save thirty
five candidates $50 each. A. n. AKIN.
