IMpRovED.-The second number

The PRosPECT.-Stocks on the
North end have reached a very
high figure, and it is about time
for the small dealers to get out.
stand from under, for the pinnacle
is about to topple over. Our ad-
vice would be to realize at the
present high prices. There may
be, and more than likely is, money
in Consolidated Virginia at 5000,
but the chances are too great.
Same as to Ophir at 1925, and Cal
ifornia at $500. Let the large
dealers have it, those who can
afford to lose half million or so
without affecting them. The South
end offers much better chances for
investment at this time. Crown
Point is said to be about ready for
another strike, which will carry
kentuck, Overman and others
along. Either of these are safer at
the ruling prices than those mines
on the north end. Save yourselves
you who have made handsome for
tunes, by selling in time. Let well
enough be your motto. You will
have chance to get in" before
month at less prices than
they are selling for to-day.

The Phoebe Record" has been
favored with the perusal of a letter
from Panamint, addressed to cit
lzen of Phoebe. 1t says that the
weather is stormy and persons are
leaving; that there are about so
white men and 200 Cinnamon at
work on the mines. Living is
dear. Prices for lots range from
$1,000 to $1,000, but no sales.
The letter also mentions that
Charlie Behr had a mansard roof
erected on his occeput, the officiat-
ing architect being Dave Nagal.
Charlie left in disgust. At Hol-
comb Valley large mill is being
erected, also one of eighty stamps
at Kernville.

WAS IT.-A Chinaman was found
living on the kitchen floor of the
Union House, Gold Hill, dead,
with his throat cut from ear to ear.
The head cook, also a Chinaman,
ran away and was arrested at Vir-
oinia. but at the CorOner's inquest
the jury returned a verdict of sui
eide, and the cook was discharged
from custody. They evidently
considered that it was all right, one
Chinaman less. But was it murder
or suicide. 1t matters but little Z!

Prof. $. y. Fellows Lectures.

According to previous notice Professor
Fellows of the Iowa State University de-
livered course of lectures before the
Tama County Nrnal Institute last week.
His first lecture was on Thursday even
ing, subject, "School Government. Those
in attendance listened with the closest at
tention to his lecture which was very en-
pertaining snd instructive to all. We
wish every teacher and parent in lama
county could have heard it, as they could
not have been otherwise that benefited
We would like to give this lecture entire
to our readers, knowing it would be inter
esting and valuable but we did not take
any report Of it and it was not written, SC
we have no copy Friday forenoon nc
spoke on the subject of Attentions" the
Importance of it and how best to secure
it. In the afternoon his subject before
recess was Graded Schools after recess
"Rnles for teaching" In the evening
he read lecture on Teaching, as
means Of Self Culture" These lectures
were all right to the point, and evinced
rare knowledge of the profession OF teach
ing to which he is deyoting his time and
energies. Mr. Fellows is good speaker
using the conversational style, and never
fails 10 interest his hearers, upon what
ever subject he may hold forth. The
only objection we found to the lectures
was that they were not long enough; ano

MAPLE FARM, Nov end, 1874.
Mr.. EDITOR.
see by your paper that one VIM. Muir
ply proposes to keep q respectable Sa-
loon in your town. Alas for the young
men Of Toledo when wine ana beer drink
ing are made respectable The dens of
vice where blear-eyed drunkards reel from
the door, where the keeper turns drunk
en- men into the street and kicks them
from the sidewalk to walloW in the mud,
or freeze in a drunken stupor, are harm
less compared to the respectable Saloon
Young men with character and money
will never enter such places. such dens
only answer the purpose to burn out the
last dregs Of responsibility; to finish The
ruin commenced in some place of respect
able drinking Show me a town where
drinking is done BY decent men and III q
respectable manner, and will show you
a town that is bringing in fine crop
Of young drunkards. The young man
who can take his glass among men Of re-
srcctibility with no blush Of shame to
mantle his cheek, is in far more danger
than the one who must seek it among filth,
Drunkenness and poverty. The appetite
terminates, is fed and fosterea in just
such places as VIM Murphy intends to
keep lie is doing infinitely more harm
than man who sells entirely to drunken
men. They are already ruined and he
is doing them seeming kindness by sell
ing them what they think they cannot do
without Such men are finger boards
constantly pointing to the drunkard's hell
and indexing by their blood-shot eyes the
distance each enc is from his destined
place. OF al characters in the world de
liver me from the moderate drinkcr
With head erect and face of brass he pro-
claims that any man Of sense can drink
in safety; only fools give up to appetite.
Such men are men without impulse, With
o It any kindly feelings men who sit en-
throned in supreme scItishness growing
fat on the ruin of their fellows.

County High School.

Now that the clositfy session of the
Normal Institute is drawing near, is it not
well to call attention to the necessity OF
establishing a school of higher grade in
our county? Where teachers and ad-
vanced scholars may receive that instruc-
ton and training, for which they are now
obliged to go elsewhere, or go without.
The first is expensive, and the latter works
Injustice, both to our teachers and our
common schools. Many persons with
whom have talked on this subject, in
different parts of the county, admit that It
would be of great advantage; yet, there
seems to be general impression, that if
the question of voting tax, for establish
ing and supporting such school, was
submitted to the people, as the law pro-
vides, that it would fail, owing to the
spirit of rivalry existing between the var
ious towns. A few plans suggest them
selves to my mind:
1st. We will suppose that it is desired
ia raise Thirty Thousand Dollars for the
erection of suitable buildings and the
furnishing Of the necessary apparatus;
now let tie town in which the school is
located pay one-third Of the amount and
the county at large. the other two-thirds,
and allow free tuition to all residents of
the county.
end. We will suppose that Toledo and
Tama City unite heartily on this project,
and decide to locate said school midway
between the two towns and share equally
the expense of establishing such a school
Tuition to be paid by non-residents Of the
two towns, and freei to resident students
This plans is practicable; men of means
in both towns, have assured me, that they
will aid literally, such an enterprise.
Bird. If neither of the plans suggested,
be deemed advisable, then, let tie good
people of Toledo who have never yet
failed in any worthy enterprise, decide
that they will establish such school,
tuition, as in the last case, to be paid by
nonresident and free to resident students.
No person would doubt the propriety OF
establishing such school after visit
the over crowded classroom, of the Pre-
| sent Normal Institute held in the Court
House. There is at this time, the finest
opening for school Of Higher grade in
Tara County Of any locality | know OF
in the State Of Iowa; and further, such q
school wiN be established ere long some
sshere in or near this county. Which will
b the lucky town?

Rc-Opening Exercises.

The NJ Z. Church was re opened for
service last Sunday. The room was filled
to overlooking both morning and evening.
In the morning Rev J. ". Clinton, of
Marshaltown preached one OF his most
eloquent sermons, taking as the basis Of
his remarks the latter part Of the I'd verse
of the 18th chapter Of Luke, This man
receiveth sinners and eateth with them"
He was listensed to with interest through
out by the large congregation, and seemed
to be in a peculiarly happy vein We
would like to have published a report Of
his sermon but have not room. After the
sermon he announced that there was a
debt of 500 to be provided for. Jacob
Yeiser, Jr., and II. s. Bradshaw were APP
pointed Secretaries and the work of rails
ing the amount commenced. After con-
siderable talk and work it was found that
about 1926 had been subscribed, and 1t
was then thought best to dismiss the meet
ing, as several who were expected TO aid
in the matter were not present. In the
evening upon the assembling of the con-
gregaton the first thing on the programme
was to raise the balance of about $40. II
was mostly provided for in few minutes,
after which Rev. A. c. Hickey, OF Lee
Grand, preached an excellent sermon to
an appreciative audience.
This church is now fixed up in beauti-
full style, and is pronounced by many to
be equal in its interior appearance to any
thing in central Iowa. The walls have
been newly plastered and frescoed; the
seats taken out and the aisles changed to
three instead Of two; a new floor put IN;
the old windows Of 55 panes each replaced
by modern shaped ones Of s lights, arrang-
ed with weights, for ease OF ventilation;
beautiful new chandeliers and carpets are
provided; the woodwork nicely painted
and vanished, neat buff curtains put up,
and in fact, everything done up in the
best shape possible. A person on going
into the church now would not recognize
the former building, it is so much i'm
$1,000
formerly. The choir has been moved
from when it was to the pulpit, just be-
side the preacher which is an improve
ment, as the congregation can and will
sing q great deal better with the choir and
organ where they can be seen. The
chandeliers and carpetss.we understand,
were purchased by the Ladies' Working
Band. They also assumed $50 Of the
Indebtedness. Services will be held IN
this church hereafter at the usual hours
Rev. f. NJ. Robertson is to be congratu'
lated on carrying this enterprise through
successfully, and he can now enjoy the
fruit Of his labors in having one o. the
handsomest audience rooms in the State
70 preach in. It will also be one OF the
most comfortable in the winter, - the
walls and floors are al double, while the
ventilation will be the best. owing to the
case with which the windows can be
raised and lowered,
