our Public schools.
Children Educated Without Money
and Without Price,

The effort to establish a free school
in Hickman has been attended with
more of success, in a general view,
than many are prepared to admit. The
very worthy and live trustee Of this
district, has so managed affairs as to
give US a continuous session of 10
months, with three very competent and
attentive teachers. The attendance has
been good, and the proficiency of the
scholars, marked, as compared to free
schools generally. There are many
objections to the system, which we are
not discussing now, but hold it fair TO
give credit where credit is due. Its
material advantages to the community
is the point to which we desire mainly
to attract attention. The inducements
which it offer: to increase our popula
lation, when the facts are generally
known; and the absolute blessing it is
to many poor families whose children
would otherwise be deprived Of any
advantages of education whatsoever
Here, whatever your circumstances,
however poor or humble, your child
rem have the certainty of the rudi
ments of good English education,
without money and without price. We
say the school is not up to fair stan
dard yet, but it will be improved with
time and experience The prevailing
objection is that, some Of the depart
ments ore too much crowded, some Of
the teachers too much taxed, to do the
pupils or themselves full justice. We
have now a good school building, paid
for, we believe, admirably situated, and
ample room for the accommodation of
every school pupil in the district The
people will soon be relieved of the tax
for building the school house, and can
then give their attention to the em
ployment Of additional teachers, and by
degrees to rcmedying some present OBJ |
jeotions.
Ia our country school districts,
where the population is sparse, and the
taxable valuation small, the free school !
system has proven failure, and in
some instances, resulted in more injury
than good There will be strong
move il the State to abolish the school !

STEALING Bacon AND PLows.-On last
Thursday night some parties visited the
farm house of our old friend, uncle Andy
Shuelg, and helped themselves to several
hundred pounds Of bacon The acciIen-
tai stirring of uncle Andy about I o.
clock that night, no doubt frightened the
thieves, and thereby saved a fine lot OF
hams aud sides yet in the smokc-house.
The robbers came by wagon, and helped
themselves bountifully. The next morn
ing the wagon tracks were very plain to
be seen. aud traced TO their destination.
The anne night some four pIows, which
had ben put of the cars at Matson S
State Ljne) by mistake, and having no
claimau, were missed, aud reliable iu-
formaun traced the plows to the same
suspecsd parties.
On friday, warrants for the arrest OF
the parties accused were issued, and a
squad IF citizens started out to execute
them

Our SOURCES OF REvENU Ep-Ths
prospective of the farmers of this. section
is not without its encouragements, and
when they prosper all other industries
prosper. The grass crop, which is Il source
of large revenue to large portion of
our farmers is very promising, the season
having been particularly favorable The
apple crop will be short--about ne-half
in quantity of last season, yet the cash
from it win come just in the nick of time.
The corn, so far as can now be predicted,
will be fair. The tobacco. the small
amount that is raised in this vicinity,
viii be considerably increased this year
over any year since the war. Our people
are not engaging in cotton to as large an
extent as heretofore, but with anything
like favorable season they viii raise
three bales to one of last year.

Why, you could lean on marble coun-

barrel and say over some of his old
hymns to get clear minded. He is so
lost that the Commissioners have no
hopes of him and have employed Per-
kins, the other one, to examine al ap-
plicants for goddesses.

EDGAR ALLEN POE"
BY WILLIAM WINTER.

Cold is the p@n honor SINGS,
Andchill is giory's Icy breath,
And pale the garland memory brings
To grace the iron doors OF death.
Fame's eehoing thunders, long and loud.
The pomp of priue that decks the pail,
The plaudits of the vacant crowd
One word of love is worth tht IN all.
With dews of grief our eyes are dim;
All! let the tear of sorrow start.
And honor, in ourselves and him,
The great and tender human heart.
Through many night of want and woe,
His frienZied spirit wandered wild
Till kind disaster laid him low,
And Heaven reclaimed its wayward child.
Through many year his fame has grown'
Like midnight vast, like starlight sweet,
Till now his genius fills a throne,
And nations marvel at its feet.
One need of justice long delayed,
One crowning grace his virtues crave;
Ali take, thou great and injured shade,
To love that sanctifies the grave.
Gods mercy guard in peaceful sleep.
The sacred dust that slum bers here,
And while around the tomb we weep,
God bless US Tor the mourner's tear
And may his spirit, lowering nigh,
Pierce The dense cloud of darkness thro'
And know with fame that cannot die,
He has the worlds affection, too.

ment, at Baltimore, November IL, 1875.
