to work by, and the lamps and oil
are cold.
2. Never pour oil from a can that
has been recently agitated.
3. Never allow your lamps or can

otsr warm place.

put out your light, but blow up from
the bottom or turn the wick down.
5. Buy none but the best oil.
Z. Never pour oil on fire, for
one-hslt the lives lost by oil have
been in this way.

FOREST, July II, 1875.
Let a man from Warren county &c
to Scott and see a gathering OF the
white people like that Of Friday, the
l6th-let him stand upon some con.
venient corner early in the morning,
as | did, and let him see the OK wagon
laods, and mule wagon loads, aud old
dilapidated carriage loads, single and
doub'e loads carried by mules and
horses, and loads that had no cons
veyance, and therefore footed it. !
would prefer that one Witnessing this
spectacle should live in Warren coun.
ty, where the negroes are in a large
majority, so that he could compare
The difference 1etwcen a county
where the negroes are three to cne.
As all have not been so fortunate as |
have been in this respect, it deyolves
upon me, as your correspondent, TO
tell the people Of the state what |
saw in old Scott county. Early Fri
day morning the people began TO
come into Forest in the manner and
by the conveyances medabove, and
by eleven o'clock there we're from
twenty-five hundred to three thou.and
people gathered upon the grounds
known as Gamers Grove. Here a
speakers stand had been erected, and
q number of benches arranged for the
accommodation of those who wele to
ennunciate, and those who were to
listen to the truth of the graud new
Democratic party which from mere
little thing, scarcely able to call its
own name or know its progenitors,
has grown into another Colossus
holding firmly united the white men
of Mississippi. The white people of
Scott county, men, women and chill
dren, had come here, and such anoth-
er gathering OF the owners OF the
land and destinies of community
had not boen seen since the good old
days of Lang syne. As my friend
DR.. Davis, of the Forest Register re-
marked, 'it looks as if the people had
been shaken out OF the trees, they are
go thick" And they were all white
people; they had come to listen to
white peoples talk; TO learn the true
meaning of the term Color Line, and
then to vote solidly for white men
and no other. There are few men, l
imagine, more able to give the inlor
nation in reference to the Color Line
than the orator of the day,
UPTON NJ. YOUNG, ESQ,
of Vicksburg, who. having been intro
duced to the vast audience, delivered
an address all of sound wisdom, ex-
cellent argument, refined and beauti-
full language. and strictly to the point.
Although the sun was coming down
upon the heads of many Of the audi
ence with an intensity Of heat almost
unbearable. they stood and listened
attentively to the thrilling words Of
Capt. Young. What means this tre-
mendous ontpouring of the people ? =
said be. 1t means, to my mind, that
the redemption of Mississippi is at
hand; it means that you will unite
with the other counties to sweep vic>
tory over our state; it means that the
long and terriblelethargy which has
existed IN our cities and counties, and
all over our state, is ceasing, and the
presence Of so rany ladies here to,
day confirms and strengthens thar be-
lief. They and you have como here

GERMAN pEPARTMENT.

The committee on German Language
made the following report, which was re-
ceived and filed:
To the honorable board of E6"cat,oH;
CONVENIENTLY committee on
German Language submit herewith, rs
required by the rules of the Board, the
annual report of the superintendent,
showing statistics for the last year, pro-
gress made, and the general condition of
the German Department at the end of
the scholastic year.
The document for one years report
being necessarily lengthy, entering into
the details of the workings of the system
with the suggestions rs to the possible
improvements of the same, the committee
deem best to ask the Board to have the
report printed to enable every member
to make himself acquainted with it, as in
our judgment it is Of sufficient impor-
lance to know that what mt first has been
introduced as an experiment, has grad
ualv developed to degree that IN the
near future, with the continuance OF your
care and protection, it will be full
success.
The number of scholars having stead
ilv increased, and with a new adopted
system, in harmony with the English
classes, further increase of pupils may
be expected and an additional teacher
will be required. The committee there
fore would recommend one teacher for
the First ward; one for the Second and
Third wards; one for Fourth ward;
one for Fifth ward; one for Sixth ward;
one for Seventh ward; two for Eighth
ward; total I.
For the Third, Fifth, Sixth and Sew
cnth wards suitable rooms ought to he
assigned to the German classes.
To the rules relating to the German
Department, we propose to make some
additions and alterations, which, appcr-
tanning to the committee on Rules and
Regulations, may be referred 10 them for
report.
We recommend further for eyamina-
ton. that candidates shall be examined in
the following studies: German reading
dictionary exercises, photography,
German grammar, and compost
ton; translation from English into
German. and rice rersa; English
reading, and composition, and English
grammar with comparison Of language,
Whenever the pupils Of any grade are
presented for promotion toAra ther grrdc,
the Superintendent of German shall eX-
anime them with reference To- their pro-
gress and proficiency in such language.
After points of importance and useful
ness are given in the report Of the SUI
periutcndent, and their adoption under
the head of general rules, or course
of study, is heartily recommended by
the committee. especially the one which
reads that, instruction in German in the
Grammar Department be allowed from

Gently purchased fifty acres of coal land.
Owing to the falling in OF their crown
IN the early part of the season, which

THE ETSA IRON MILL.-The mill at
Bridgeport shut down with the exception
of the sheet rolls, on the Sd inst, for the
purpose OF taking stock, which is no light
lob in an establishment of the dimensions
of the Etna 1t will be gratifying 10 the
stockholders and managers of this con-
Germ to learn that after u very successful
run of six months the machinery has
proven itself to be of the highest order,
there being less breakage than in any other
mill in the country. The excellent quail
ty of the iron manufactured by the -ttna
demonstrates that the coal of this region
is of Il superior quality for manufacturing
purposes. During the eighteen months
1t has been in operation, there has not
been returned to it from purchasers to the
amount Of ton of iron, on account of its
inferior quality, and the entire product of
the mill has been disposed OF, although
they have been compelled to accede to
the low prices prevailing.
The superiority and accessibility of
the coal in the Wheeling Creek Valley,
the immense beds of fire clay and of
limestone, make it one of the most lie
sirable manufacturing locations in Ohio.
The one thing necessary to Bridgeport
and the people of the beautiful Valley is
railroad, penetrating the wealthiest por-
ton of Belmont county, and connecting
the great through lines 10 the trade GEN.
tres of the country. This built, and IN -
comparatively short time, the banks OF
Wheeling creek ten miles out OF Bridge.
port will be lined with manufacturing eS-
lishmcnts, and teeming with an active,
industrious population Of skilled opera
I tives. 1t is desideratum worthy of the
most active effort not only by those inter-
ested in the prosperity Of Bridgeport, but
by all who are interested in the develop
mcnt of the wonderful resources and nd
yantagcS of Belmont county.
