Bethesda GRANGE.

Bethesda Grange celebrated the
anniversary of the Order in the
following manner, to Wit: With a
basket dinner, or as some call l.,
a Grange picnic, public speaking,
grange singing, dc. At an early
hour Patrons and Matrons with
their families and the friends of
the Order generally commenced
assembling at Bethesda, and soon
the large church house was crowd
ed with the mixed multitude anxi-
ously awaiting the exercises of the
day. The order of the dav was
announced by Brothaf j. n. Bax>
ter, after which a procession was
,ormed and marched around the
old encamphent, and then To the
house where all found comfortable
seats, and we're delightfully."- enter
tanned with grange singing by pro-
fessor Israel Rush and choir.
Worthy Chaplain A. 6. Register
was then introduced as speaker
for the occasion and for near one
hour the large and attentive crowd
was held in almost spell-bound
silence by the logical reasoning
and eloquence of the speaker.
At II o'clock dinner was an
nounced, and large baskets, trunks
and boxes Of the good things of
the land were spread, where all did
eat, and were filed, and they took
up more that sever baskets full of
fragments thereof, and many said
we have here enough to feed the
multitude again. The sisters Of
Bethesda Grange who prepared
the fine cake and good things are
alive to the interests oftheir Grange
as we'll rs to the interests of the
hard listed and sun burnt farmer.
Dinner beng over, all assembled
again in the house, and for a short
time were entertained by Brother
J.. N. Baxter in some very appro-
pirate remarks for the occasion,
The choir then sung, asd the
crowd was dismissed. The Grange
was then opened by Worthy
Master, r. j. White. Fifteen pc
titions were presented and received.
The first degree was conferred on
G. W. Bright, A. T. Swaney, Alex
ander Smith, Samuel Hix, and W.
+. Brandon, also on Mrs. Rebecca
Hix and Miss Martha Baxter.
Different degrees on other Brothers
and Sisters postponed, and the
elections for officers opened, IN
which r. j. White was reelected

sion it is IN a prosperous condition,
has abont eighty members, and
bids fair to soon number over one

number are to be, found the most

3 I'VE have information that on
Friday last, at or near Warrens

Young, shot and killed q white man
whose name we did not learn. Our
informant could not give, US the
particulars; Young escaped. /

be remedied.
Charley Piper tells us that
some time ago he broke up a still
in Hancock county, and soon after,
passing by, he found a Furnishing
school in the house, and the re-
mains of the still piled up in one
corner.a Charley says that dis
tilling is not taught as one of the
branches of education.
On last week, Geo. z. Jones,
VIM. Ross and d. g. Dukes, Com
m~issioners of the poor for Greene
County, paid a visit to the poor
house, and inspected the premises
thoroughly. The poor house con-
tains, at present, some eighteen or
nineteen inmates. The Commiss-
toner's found the farm in good con-
dition; the inmates we'll treated
and c%ontented with their lot, being
comfortably clothed, and well fed.
Mr.. Mitchell, the Superintendent
of the poor farm, deserves great
credit for the energy he has dis
played III fixing up everything to
render the poor of the county com
Portable, he has erected a good
barn, crib and stable, besides max
ing considerable repairs on the va
rious tenement houses. We are
glad to know that the Commits
sioners have engaged Mr.. Mitchell
to act in the capacity for another
year.

This is a query OF no little i'm

We get alDthe children to- attend
school regularity We may answer,
by having good teachers. bat
there are some children: yes, some
parents who do not appreciate good
teachingo of any kind. There are
parents who give way to the
"whines and whims'' of their chill
dren and thus keep them away
from school. Some parents are
very silly in this respect, for they
will even censure the teacher for
correcting their children.
We believe that every teacher
should make 1T his or her bust
ness to visit all such parents and
reason with them on the subject.
Teachers should spare no effort in
securing the attendance of every
child in their sub-dlstricts. Go
and see The parents-you will
learn something.
Sometimes teachers will learn
that some of the children haven't
good ciothes-that children dis
like to attend on this account
reason with them-talk gently
ana you will find your pupils will
re-enter in a short time. Inquire
OF your pupils why they stay at
home. Make them know and feel
That you miss them-that their alb
sence is a drawback to the +
perlty Of the school. Make your
school room attractive. Make 1T
a home for the pupils-talk to
them, associate with them, and
neeer, Recer scold them.
Teachers you must gain the af
iections of your pupils.and the
only way to do this, Is by kind
treatment Remember that kind
words never die. and that kind &c.
