Postmaster General Jewell 10 making for
himself number OF enemies among that very
large class OF individuals who look upon the
department over which he presides as the
proper field in which :hey ought to lave the
privilege to exert personal influence and
make money. For instance, the other day,
he found, III examining the workings of the
New York city postofice, that 2 per cent.
was allowed TO licensed dealers for selling
post sge-stsmps. Upon this discovery be
resolved to divide this percentae by two,
thus saving to the government the little sum
of $l2 500 per annum in New York city alone.
The licensed postage stamp dealers therefore
have very poor opinion Of Mr.. Jewell. The
part the same gentleman has taken In inves-
tigating the conduct OF postmasters in some
OF the Southern States mas awakened the
enmity Of several Southern senators, who
find that their appointees are liable to suffer
from official decapitation In consequence.
Hence threats arise that Mr.. Jewell's nomin-
alton will not be confirmed. Some Northern
senai ors. whose Recommendation, have also
been disregarded, express dissatisfaction.
The question now arises as TO whether these
very excellent actions Of the new Postmaster.
General will lead the Senate TO reject him

believe that they will -NilDontee Sentinel

We are reminded by the changing
seasons that it is time to pause in oul
daily avocations and offer thanks to
Almighty God for the mercies and
abundance of the year which is drawing
TO close.
The blessings of free government con.
tinue to be vouchsafed to US, the earth
has responded to the labor of the
husbandmen, the land has been free from
pestilence, internal order is being
maintained, and peace with other powers
has prevailed.
It is fitting that at stated periods we
should cease from our accustomed pursuits
and from the turmoil of our daily lives
and unite in thankiulness for the blessings
of the past, and in the cultivation OF
kindly feelings toward each othe-.
Now. therefore, recognizing the coz
siderations, |, Ulysses S. Grant, President
of the United States. 90 recommend
to all citizens to assemble in their
respective places ofworship, on Thursday
the Goth day of November next, and
express their thanks for the mercy and
favor of Almighty God. and laying aside
all political contentious and all secular
occupations to observe such day as
day of rest, thanksgiving, and praise.
In witness whereof have hereunto sci
my hand and caused the seal oftheUnited
States to be affixed.

twenty-seventh day OF October

endence of the United States OF

on which he recommends all the people to assem-
BILE aud give tEanks.
AS people, we have reason to be tn ankiul for
good government and prosperity. Personally,
every one has some reason TO be thankful. Some
may seem to have more reason to be thankful than
Others but it may be more seeming than re al,
Compensation brings all nearer TO level than the
seeming. Misfortunes and affl ctions are Oft en-
blessings. Ia disguise Outward prosperity and
seeming happiness may be trials In disguise. All

twill be noticed that Bristol has Civ
en- no votes either for or againt the
amendment. Justice to that town
requires it to be stated that citizen of
Bristol, G. Williams, Chairman OF the
Board of Supervisors, was the first to
speak of having tickets TN the constitu-
tional amendment printed. and here
being none printed at that time, he took
the other tickets and affidavits, expecting
afterwards t. receive the tickets on the
Amendment of the Constitution. 1t
would seem that the tickets failed to
reach that and this accounts fol Their
being no votes for or against the amend

FRIEND BRIGGS Three weeks Of

in shape for work the pupils of District
NJ. IL. The attendance thus long has
not been large, as many are kept from
school on account of fall agricultural
work. An average attendance Of IS has
been secured, and this number will be
very materially increased in less than a
week. it is expected Our substantial
and able co-worker, Mr.. Middlecamp,
paid my school very agreeable visit last
Friday, and the critical remarks he made
would look we'll in the Educational /;
for they were not so specially confined
to the school of your correspondent as
not to contain much thst has an applica-
ton to teachers as well as pupil through
out the county.
Among a few typographical errors
which crept into the few words written
on morals and manners, I noticed one
which completely ruined the quotation
inserted. The lines should read:
MEMS evil manners we grave on BRASS
Their virtues we write N water"
In the other reading the word "evil''
was left out. Its omi sion might have
produced sense more pertinent to the
matter IN hand at the time nevertheless
I should prefer rather that a quotation
so beautiful as the above should be cor
rectly produced, than that the happiness
Of its use should be concealed. IS.

G. s. in a communication to
Friend Briggs in the Educational, in
speaking Of typographical errors,
says:
noticed one which completely
ruined the quotation inserted. The
lines should read:
"Men's evil manners we grave on
Brass
Their virtues we write in water. -
In the o ttler reading the word
''evir' was left out.
Now we submit the question to G.
S. whether leaving out the word evil
was typographical error. or an error
OF the writer. We have not preserv.
ed the copy so that we canrefer to it,
but remember we'll the compassion,
when setting it, asking help to read
it, and inquiring if the word grave
should not be engrave. There was
no aposlhrophe before grace indicat-
ing the omission of the syllable en-,
and we could not understand why
we grave or engrave mems manners
on brass. If the word evI had been
in the copy we might have under
stood it. For these reasons we
believe the omission of the word evil
was an error of G. S. and not q
typographical error. But which.
ever it was, we are glad that G. S.
has referred to it and made the correc.
ton, and for the correction we ara
willing to let the omission of the
word evil pass as Typographical
error, with this remark: Teachers,
like others, often do not write az they
think they do and send us manu-.
scripts with many errors, and when
their articles appear in print il is
natural for them to think that thei
own errors are typographical errors
If teachers will give us correct copy
they will find fewer errors in theil
communications in print.
