Letter from Beaver Dam.

Editor Herald:

OF the county teachers institute, as the
secretary will furnish you full re-
port. | cannot resist the temptation,
however, to speak of educational en.
joymnet. The body convened last
Tuesday, and closed the following
Friday. 1t was presided over by W.
l.. Rowe, who ably discharged his du,
ties. During the entire session. there
was continual interchange of thoughts
INDUCED in by the forty or fifty teach,
ers present, which was of much edifca.
ton TO themselves as well as spectators.
On Thursday night Prof. HAYWARD
delivered Il lecture to a large and at
tentive audience. He gave us logic
al ideas. which if well digested by all
present, would add greatly to their
store of knowledge 1t was remarked
by several teachers, that the meeting
of last week was the most pleasant
they had attended for years. Owing
to sickness in the town, many families
were prevented from attending, and de-
prived of having a. much company as
they desired. So far as practicable,
the hospitality of the town was extend
ed. us well ~ the neighborhood, and
we feel assured that no one left with a
diminished opinion of our little town.
Hon. JAS. A. Mckenzie, candidate
for Congress happened to be in town
last Wednesday evening, and through
the solicitations Of his numerous friends
gave us pleasant Democratic talk of
an hours length. Although the even
ing was an unpropitious one, quite a
crowd was present, and during the en-
tire speech pin could have been heard
to fall from any part of the house.
He remarked next morning that It
had not been his fortune to meet a
more attentive audience during his can
vass. Quite number have expressed
themselves duringthe past few days, and
are all for Mckenzie that | have heard
speak. Both Mckenzie and Spalding
are good democrats. We, j. G. the
town are for the former.
1t Is not my desire to put into print
that will cause a reply. The
election for sheriff is over. We beat
the many who tried to defeat us. You
owe us nothing. we owe you nothing,
We ask of you if you are Republicans
or Democrats, to review the past, con-
slider the future and vote for Tilden.
Hendricks and Reform.
Some said, and some wanted to bet,
that the last letter dated from this place
was written in the Herald Office. Do
they suppose that no one in this great
world of ours can write but the editor
Of paper? "Oh! the rarity ofhuman
charity :"
The Taylor coal Mines, which we're
Tor long time suspended, have re-
'ently opened under the superinten-
ience of Michael Stanley. Ina few days
hey will commence filling the large
number of orders that have accumu-
ated. Their facilities are great for
hipment of coal; they have agents
East, West, and South, and their
.oal trade indicates an immense bust
less. The rains for the last week or
wO have materially benefited the to.
'acco and corn. One half crop of tobac-
o will probably be raised. Sick
less, in the form Of fever, has been
PREVALENT for two weeks. Mr.. Nc
of Washington county ship
ed two hundred hogs from this place
o his home last week. Six hundred
nd fifty hOgsheads of tobacco have
zen shipped from this depot this sea-
on II. ID. Smith, State Grange Lee
urer, had a large audience ut Goshen
hurch last Friday. His remarks
Tere logical, he admonished the order
ot to be too hasty, it required time to
ccomplish great things. Said the Or
er had endeavored to do much more
lready than they could at present
ccomplish.
Told them to keep politics out of the
range; that whenever hard or soft
honey candidate came along claiming
he granger, to let him alone. An
Iegant dinner was served on the
rounds. 1t is to be hoped that every
in Ohio county will turn out
the mass meeting on September 2nd.
