EditOr Democrat - If one cent pieces are
brought into use in New Orleans it will prove
of a great deal of benefit to everybody and
particularly to the working people. saw in your
paper how the great reform was made in st.
Louis, and how much the working people
saved-that is, 25 to 40 per cent. 1.-THE reform
Of using cents in our currency-Ought to be
brought about here. 1t would relieve mucn
poverty. and those of US who live by the sweat
of our brows and get very low wages and some
times no work, would then live much cheaper
than we can now. Go On. Mr.. Editor, with your
kind work; and we hope the rich and the mer-
chants bankers. and our grocery keepers and
marketmen will act on your plan, and bring to
a success this important reform. J. l.. n,
New ORLEANS, Nov. q, 1877.
EdHor Democrat-Haying read your several
articles on the Introduction Of the cent in the
business of New Orleans with great interest. it
occurs to me that plete success would at
tend your exertions if the City Council would
repeal the present bread ordinance. which is
not observed. and pass one compelling bakers
to make and sell their bread by weight at any
price they pleased. This would introduce here
free trade in bread, which we have never had
for the want of the cent, and would compel
bakers and corner groceries to keep supply of
cents on hand to accommodate their customers
with change. as the price of bread will vary
with the price Of -four.
Very respectfully. your obedient servant

MAPLE GROVE,
Clarke Co. W. II.
Feb. II, 1877.

EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
The school at this place taught by
Miss Lettie Lyons, closed on the 14th
inst. The exhibition in the evening
was decided success, and Miss Lyons
deserves great credit for the able and
efficient manner in which the exercises
were conducted.
The programme consisted of nearly
fifty pieces, such as dialogues, recita-
tons, songs, tableaus, ETC., all of which
were performed in a manner highly
pleasing to the audience. sThe open
ing lines for an exhibition" by Mollie
Palmer, was very appropriate for the
occasion and well rendered. "The row.
ing darkee," by little Sadie Groy es,
was excellent as was also ''Tbe awful
young lady," by Matte Palmer, "The
humbugged husband by Cameron
Groat, ought to make mischevous
wives ashamed of themselves. Zone
kiss" a tableau was acted in a way that
should teach young men prudence.
"The address 10 the American Flag"
by VIM. Ii. Dillon was well spoken
and highly applauded.
Space will not allow me to mention
each in detail, but the exhibition taken
as a whole, has never been surpassed in
this part OF the county, and the thanks
of the public are due, not only to the
teacher and pupils, but also others who
aided in making it success.
The people of the country are NOV
ing in the right direction by encourag-
ing everything that leads to mental i'm
provement, and in this respect they have
to overcome many obstacles that those
who live in towns know nothing of.
1t is to be regretted that some attend
these gatherings apparently tor the pur-
pose of making noise and disturbing
others, such conduct on the part OF
young men always suggests the idea
that their education has been defective,

TEACHERS Convention.

We hear that arrangements are be-
ing made for meeting of the teach
ers of Washington Territory, to be
held at Seattle in June next, to con-
slider what changes in the school law
are necessary to improve the school
system of the Territory. All such
things are moves in the right direc-
ton, but we fear it will be impossible
to secure a full representation of
teachers at Seattle in June. Would
it not be well to postpone the con-
vention until the fall of the year,
about the time the Legislature meets,
and hold the teachers convention at
Olympia? Or let the convention be
held at Seattle in June, and adjourn
to meet at Olympia the first week in
October. The adjourned session
would probably be better attended
than any previous session held in the
Territory and would be a very appro-
pirate time Gust as the Legislature
convenes) to agitate the educational
question. We hope that the teach:
ers throughout the Territory will take
this matter into consideration and en-
deavor to arrange their plans to at
tend this convention.

The 18th. instant was the stormiest
day they have had at Pekin this winter
The 18th inst. (Monday,) was very
pleasant day. Snow all gone, the
thermometer indicating 40" above
zero. Saturday morning, Feb. 10th,
the temperature was indicated at "a :
above zero.
Last Monday the hardest rain storm
this winter visited Vancouver and
vicinity. The rain decended in torrents
and the streets wers flooded in a few
minutes. After an hour or 30 il eased
up little, but continued raining until
Tuesday morning. The temperature
is very mild and the grass is grow

and the effect would have been heigt-
ened if the young man had spoEh
with more deliberation. Mr.. n. D.
Morgan favored us-although nota
member of the school-with a Gr-
man account of his unfortunate D.
counter with Hans Schlackenlichtd's
Drake. His reading was very mfh
provoking and elected rounds of b.
plause. AT the close, the pedagoae
himself spoke 'The lost STEAMSHIP"
1t is unnecessary to praise this etrt.
The deathly silence and the oistaed
eyes spoke volumes to the ydng
mans credit. In brief, it was efel-
lent.
The exercises were interspfsed
with good selection of musis in
instrumental and vocal, tableaux dia-
logues, etc. An extract from Will
Carlton, "The Schoolmaster's Gu SITS, y
appeared as dialogue. 1t was well
acted and very amusing. Heart APP
plause was given at it's close.
In conclusion, we must con,ratu-
late Mr.. II. on his efforts at iIstruc-
ton. The advancement of theschol-
ars in many respects was very salts
