looms than in either of the following
States and Territories, viz: Colorado,
Dakota, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Maine,

JAS. T. METCALF, of the Lansing
Mirror, and his wife celebrated, on
Christmas day, the 10th anniversary of
their marriage, the occasion being sig
nalized by the presence OF a large com
pany of friends from home and abroad,
including sprinkling of the editorial
fraternity, and further graced by plen-
tiful supply of gifts, the reading of an
original poem suitable for the occasion,
by DR.. n S. Craig, and a plentiful and
rich feast of the good things of life
Their demonstration of respect and APP
probation by the friends and neighbors
of Mr. Metcalf was very appropriate,
for besides being an able, painstaking
and conscientious editor, he is perfect
gentleman and good citizen. We were
favored with an invitation to be present
but circumstances forbade. Our friend
Metcalf and his estimable wife will
please accept our best congratulations
and we'll wishes for their health and
prosperity.

The following extract from an article
by E. O. Haven, d. D., L. L. D., in the
New England Journal of Education
may serve as text for some future ar.
ticle. In the meantime, what do our
readers think Of it?
Ny own belief is that education d.
minishes some kinds of crimes and in
creases other kinds; and that it is ex.
ceedingly doubtful whether, on the
whole, a mere intellectual education, es-
pecially of the elementary kind, does d.
minish depravity and crime.
There are certain kinds of crime that
become more and more distasteful as the
intellect is cultivated, and the great dan
ger of detection in them becomes more
evident, wherefore the educated are pre-
vented from committing them by the re-
moval of the tendency to them, and al
so by a developed sense of prudence.
But at the same time temptation to
the commission of other crimes increases
with knowledge, and also the ability to
conceal crime increases.
Intellectual cultivation may tend to
prevent crime by charging the capabili-
ty of virtuous or right activity. If it
can be shown that it does this more
than it increases temptation, SO much
can be urged from this point of view in
behalf Of intellectual education.
The fact is, intellectual learning en-
larges man, but does not change his
character. It produces a quantitative,
not a qualitative effect

From Newton Township.
NEWTON TOWNSHIP, Ia, I
n OIL 1O6H Z

DoO' HAoO, 1861.
ED. BULLErIS.-Perhaps a note of
the doings Of the citizens Of Newton
will be found worthy of note. | would
state that the farmers are generally en-
gagged at blowing, an unusual occur
renee for this time of the year. Also,
that the citizens are thoroughly aroused
on the railroad question, that of voting
3 per cent. tax in aid Of the construc-
ton of the Chicago, Iowa & Nebraska
Narrow Guage Railway. The proposed
line will if successful, aid our vicinity
greatly, by enhancing the value of our
farms and giving us home markets.
Having been a resident of Iowa land
Buchanan county, since the year 1848,
when all our trading had to be done at
Dubuque, I can see readily the benefit
of railroads to Buchanan county. And
now that we are ten miles from the
nearest station, and prospect of having
a market at our very door, causes us to
feel somewhat elated over the matter.
While some raise the mournful cry Of
taxation, | feel that it is like exchang-
ing two silver quarters for dollar bill,
considering the advantages to be derived
the raise per acre Of land, and we won
der that any should object. Yet we
trust that all may cease to wall, look at
their best interests and support the mar
row guage.

Hon. ". 3. Allison.

In the prospect Of his reelection to
the position he so ably fills. by a vote
more nearly approaching unanimity
than was ever accorded to any Senator
from Iowa, it would be superfuous and
waste Of time to enter upon formal
argument to show why Mr.. Allison
should be his own successor. But we
find in a recent article in the State Reg
sster reference to the standing and in
fuence of Mr.. Allison at Washington
and in the Senate, which We know will
be interesting and gratifying to his
friends in this county. We extract as
follows:
At Washington Mr.. Allison is accord
ed the position of the leading Repub-
lican Senator of the West-a rank which
he undoubtedly deserves. This will be
readily granted even by those who have
not thought of Mr.. Allison in compar-
alive sense if they will simply look at
the situation in the Senate as it is
Take the States Of the West and North
west and look them and their Senators
over. In Ohio we have left to the par
ty Senator Mathews only, and he rcgu-
larly unreliable. In Indiana we have
nothing. In Illinois is Oglesby-an es-
Unable gentleman, who is not Mr.. Ali
sons superior in ability, nor near his
equal in influence and experience. And
in the three States of Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota having Republi-
can Senators-there is no one the equal
of Allison in ability, saying nothing of
experience. In Nebraska and Kansas
this is still more true-and in Missouri
we have nothing. So that, in fact. as
we'll as recognition, Mr.. Allison is the
Republican leader in the Senate of the
West. This is the universal testimony
at Washington, and Mr.. Allison's lead
ership in matters Of Western interest
constantly and sufficiently proves it
This is as gratifying to our State as it
is creditable to the Senator

THE attempt by enemies Of the adj

Mexican government is cooperating

NoNTE.-In the above report it will
be seen that nearly all the rooms show
a better per cent of attendance than
last month, and that there are fewer
cases Of hardness of teachers.
In connection with the item, tardi-
ness of teachers, it may be well to say
that all teachers that are not in their
respective rooms at the ringing of the
first hell (fifteen minutes before the
opening Of the schooD, are required by
the Board to report themselves tardy.
This rule is eminently proper and nee
essary, and if teachers would exercise
as much care as they expect their pu-
pills to exercise, they would seldom, if
ever have to report themselves tardy.
| know of but one of these cases of tar
diness in the last four months that
might not thus have been avoided.
Below will be found the names of
those pupils who were neither absent
nor tardy during the term of 4 months.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, referring to the war
being waged by some of the Republican
politicians in Congress on Secretaries
Evarts, Schurz and Key of President
Hayes Cabinet, after stating that the
weight Of this opposition falls heaviest
on Evarts and lightest on Key-the OBJ
jections to the latter growing weaker
continually, and now being scarcely
heard-speaks in the following strain
concerning the much abused Schurz:
The objections to Secretaries Evarts
and Schurz are based on the constant re-
iteration Of the charge that they care
little if anything for the success of the
Republican party. The only fact they
have against Secretary Schurz to base
this upon is the fact that he did at one
time leave the party and go over for ac-
tive work to the Democrats. One class
Of reformers even class this as grave
objection These represent the large
and influential class in the party who
believe reform possible within it, and
who, convinced that reform cannot by
any possibility come from the success
of the Democrats, think it a duty to
stand by the Republican organization,
keep it in power, and work constantly
for it's improvement. This is about the
only point that Republicans find to urge
against Gen. Schurz. He is certainly
conducting his department well. No
neglect of business is charged. On the
contrary, efficiency is admitted His
appointments have been good. They
have given the President no trouble.
Even the Senate has found little to crit
icise in executive session. The early
charge that he would prove theorist
and not practical man is scarcely
heard, and when heard it is only
as an echo of sounds which once had
strength"
The Dubuque Times, which has al
ways found so much satisfaction in
cavalierly abiding to poor Carl as a
sdemnition' impracticable theorist and
visionary, will undoubtedly find the lat
ter part Of the above paragraph inter-
esting reading.

Stick to short Saxon words. Do not
say a residence when you mean
house, or ask where do you reside at
PRESENT." when you mean where do you
live now?" Do not ransack your men,
DRY for long Alterations when short
words will serve your purpose. Say " |
have been looking for you" and not 1
have been anticipating your arrival. y
Don't say establishment instead of store
or shop, nor speak Of purchasing In
stead of buying, nor of disposing of in
stead of selling, nor OF perusing instead
of reading, nor of procuring instead Of
getting nor of requesting instead Of
asking, nor of intending instead of mean
ing, nor Of attempting instead of trying,
nor of performing instead of doing, nor
of remarking instead of saying. These
longer Latin words have their proper
functions, of course, and are to be used
sometimes, but they should not be
lugged in for the sake Of display of ele-
CANT English. Avoid hifalutin. Study
the style of the Old Testament for
model rather than that Of the dime
novel.
There are people who cannot see that
the Anglo-Saxon part of the English is
more expressive than the Romantic part,
who think it is stylish to use big words,
To their benefit we like to quote the
Scripture The Lord is my shepherd;
/ shall not want. He maketh me to lie
down in green pastures; He leadeth me
beside the still waters" And while
your soul is yet full, listen: Jehovah
is my pastor; l shall not be INDECENT.

unity to the unrippled liquidities;'
