Destructive Fire at JacksOnvilIe-LOss
$4,000.


JACKSONVILLE, April 14th.
A fire broke out this morning about
o'clock. 1t originated near the
southeast corner of Oregon and Cali
fornia streets, in a row of old frame
buildings, and soon got beyond con-
troll; and though no wind was blowing,
the lumber blazed so high, and the
flames spread so rapidly that nothing
could be done to check the conflagra-
ton until it had spread across to
houses on the north side of the street.
Part of two blocks, embracing some
brick buildings, were consumed. All
were business houses in the heart Of
the town. Loss, between $4,000 and
100000. Small insurance.

NORTHWEST MISSOURI NOR
NAL SCHOOL.

\ bill has been introduced in tn
House Of Representatives, and referred
10 the Committee on Education. to eStab
l!Sh a State Normal School in North,
western Missouri. That this bill should
pass seems altogether reasonable. since
the three other sections of the State
northeast. southeast and southwest -
each has 4 school of this kind, and il is
but equitable and fair that Northwest
Missouri, not the least deserving, but
which probably j, as vitality interested in
the cause Of education Is any other part
of the State, should have this boon
granted it.
Should tho bill pass, We believe An
drew county, after 4 thorough consider
alton OF the advantages presented. would
be selected as the point 1T which to To-
cate it. II is admitted that large towns
are unsuitable for institutions of this
kind, for Obvious reasons. For Andrew
county can be successfully claimed an
unparalleled healthiu! climate, good, in
telligent, peaceful society mot the least
consideration). excellent water, rich
soil. and ready accessibility from all
parts Of the district proposed to be
formed. To secure the location of this
institution here, it would only be neces-
sary for IL citizens to make til proper
effort. The beneficial influence of such
Al institution in our midst surely can not
he questioned. Let Il people. then, indi-
cate their preference in the matter. and
take the proper steps at the right time,
so that the bill may not only be passed.
but that our county may secure its loca-
ton within her borders.

Duties of the Teacher,

SAVANNAH MO-, january b, issf.
What are 4 teachers duties? Have
you never heard them enumerated ?
Listen. Old Mr.. Smith says: 1.-The
teacher ought to make his fire before
sunrise; sone of the scholars in our
district go TO school pretty early, and it
won't do to have them crying with cold"
Mrs. Jones adds: "Ellin got her dress
most spilled t'other day, the floor was SO
dirty. reckon the teacher amt much
count or he'd keep it swept clean"
MIR. Jackson continues the story: 1.-The
teacher ought to visit ali the parents in
the district, and try to awaken an inter-
est i'll The cause Of education" and SO on
to the end of the chapter. If We may
believe what we st often hear, here is
no end to the number Of things which
the teacher ought to do; and the things
he ought not to do. and must not" do,
are equally numerous. The truth is, a
large majority of the persons who 81
cloqucntly express their opinions on this
all-important subject. know but very
little about it. and they take no trouble
To inform themselves. In almost every
district may be found chronic grumblers,
to whom every new method is objection
able. They never visit schools. Their
flcas in regard to the best method of in
,tructiun are all derived from their ex-
