TEACHING SCHOOL,

We are making progress, and teachers
should make a note Of this. and prepare
themselves for the demand of the hour.
Better teaching is the cry on all hands.
How to meet the demand is a question of
great Importance to both teachers and
people. Men and women who taught our
schools a few years ago, are not qualified
to teach the schools of the future. Teach.
means a great deal more thar it did ten
years ago. 1t has grown into a profession
aud lays claim to a respectable literature
with which every teacher who desires an
honorable position in the profession must
be more or less familiar. While we see the
want of more efficient teaching, we can
not see how it is to be secured. The
sbortness Of school terms is a great bar.
rier. for teachers can poorly afford to pre-
pare themselves for the school room when
live or six months at most constitute a
school year. The schools are too short
and wages too low. We can hardly ex.
pect a great improvement while such is
the case.
The people, however, demand better
teaching, but do not look at the difficult
ties in the way. The teachers, in view of
these difficulties, are placed in peculiar
circumstances and must make the best
effort possible to assist in solving the diff
6culty.

Three Brothers Fall Out.

LIBERTY, Mo-, Three brothers
named Hood, Elisha and Thomas Cravens,
living about four miles from this city,
had a desperate quarrel last Saturday
about a division of land. Words led to
blows, and Thomas struck Elisha with q
hoe. Elisha then drew a revolver and
shot Thomas through the heart, killed
him, and wounded Hood in the breast
perhaps mortally. They are all WELL
known, respectable farmers.

Ii is suggested that special care should
be taken in locating the sites for new
school houses. The new districts will
likely be permanent, and hence the me-
cessity of we'll defined district lines. 1t
will be found advisable to look to the fu>
ture as well as the present wants of a
neighborhood in building school houses.

This gentleman paid us u visit last

schools for which he promised aid last
Fall. Two schools received aid, one at
johnson City, taught by II. B. lIanklc,
the other at Jenesboro' taught by Rev.

of a number of colored schools extending
from Dublin Va, to Dalton, Ga. His
Normal School at M~aryville, Tenn is in a
prosperous condition.
Mr.. Warner is doing a good work for
the colored people. He is cooperating
with the public schools when he can do
so. The aid extended is having a good
effect and viii! be instrumental in eleva>
ting these schools. The money is fur
nished by the Quakers of the United

te have Mr.. Warner among us. He does
Us good every time he comes, for his ex.
perience ir school matters will be of great

THE ELECTIONS TUESDAY

Wisconsin, New Jersey, Mississippi and
Alabama. City elections were held in
Chicago, Baltimore, a vote in Kansas for
three Constitutional Amendments, and a
partial election for the Assembly in Vir.

Well, it would seem old Virginia never
tires, and Maryland, my Maryland, prob
ably, while Mississippi has come out Of
the wilderness of reconstruction at last
with better aims (Ames) and prospects.
So far, so good.
Massachusetts we expected to lose by
10000, but the noble Governor CASTOR
seems to have done like Governor Allen
and chased them close.
Pennsylvania elects Hartranft and the
bonanza Iingsters by 10000 or so. New
York, too, seems to have fallen from Til
den and new Tammany reform into the
fond embrace of Grant, Seward, Norris
sey and company. New Jersey has done
likewise, and, of course, Minnesota and
Wisconsin.

THANKSGIVING.
THE PRESIDENT RECOMMENDS
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25,
AS THE HOLIDAY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-A proclamation
by the President of the United States of
America:
In accordance with a practice at once
wise and beautiful we have been acCus-
toned. as the year is drawing to close,
to devote an occasion to the humble ex.
preston of our thanks to Almighty God
for the ceaseless and distinguished bene-
fits bestowed upon us as nation, and
for his mercies and protection duringthe
closing year.
Amid the rich and free enjoyment Of
all our advantages we should not forget
the source from whence theyare derived
and the extent of our obligations to the
Father of all merCies.
We have full reason to renew our
thanks to Almighty God for favors be-
slowed upon us during the past year.
By his continuing mercy, civil and re-
ligious liberty have been maintained,
peace has reigned within our borders, la
Dor and enterprise have produced their
merited rewards, and to his watChfIl
providence we are indebted for security
from pestilence and other national ca
lamities.
Apart from national blessings, each in
divldual among us has occasion to
thoughtiully recall and devoutly recog-
nize the favors and protection which he
has enjoyed. Now, therefore,
l, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the
United States, do recommend that on
Thursday, the twenty-tifth day of No
vember, the people of the United States,
abstaining from all secular pursuits and
from their accustomed avOcatiOns, do as
semble in their respective places yf wOr-
ship and, in such form as may seem most
appropriate in their own hearts, offer to
Almighty God their Acknowledgements
and thanks for all his mercies and their
humble prayers for a continuance of his
divine fOvor.
In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
twenty-seventh day of October, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-tive, and of the in.
dependence of the United States the one
hundredth.

KILLED BY THE CARS.

On Tuesday morning about 2 o'clock,
the body of John Foley, a tramping
tailor who had been in the employ Of
Thomas Sharpnack for about two weeks,
was found on the railroad track near the
coal shaft in horribly mutilated condi-
ton. The head was severed from the
body, and was not found till after day
light when it was discovered opposite
Shinn's place, about one fourth of mile
further east. His left arm was cut off
one of his legs broken in four different
places, and the remaining portion Of the
body badly crushed and mutilated. He
had been on spree for the past few
days and came from Alliance on the No.
4 Express in the evening, and instead of
coming up town stayed around the sta
ton. Between II and l o'clock he ap.
preached the night operator with the re-
quest to direct him up town as he did
not know the way. The operator did 50,
but in short time he returned with the
same request, and the operator started
him off in the right direction the second
time.
This is the last he saw or heard of him
till the No. II freight going west brought
his body to the station, minus the head.
1t is supposed that he was killed by the
No. 10 freight going east, as his body
seems to have been dragged in that d.
rection. The body was placed in the
freight house, and Coroner Badger sum
moned to hold an inquest on the body.
1t is not known whether Foley fell off
the train or was killed while walking OH
the track.-SdLem Era

membership of 172. Good schools have
long been in operation, and a school is
about being inaugnrated by the Govern

ANYOFSAN FRANCISCO.
San Francisco. Nov.

The National Gold Bank and Trust
Company did not opel this morning. A
crowd assembled before the opening hour
with every indication of a continuance of
the run, and the officers, as a measure Of
safety, refused to pay checks. The OFF,
GERS vouchsafe but little information.
They claim that the bank can ay every
thing in full and will resume as soon as
possible, intimating no date. The bank
has been considered weak since the fail
ure of the Bank of California, paying
small deposits only in full and obtaining
extension on the larger ones. No ex-
citement is apparent at the other banks.
