RIVER IMPRovEMENT.-Col Merrill
who has charge of the Improvement of
the Ohio and upper Monongahela
Rivers thus refers to the unfinished
work on the Monoagahela
"In my last annLal report I stated
that an additional appropriation
would be necessary to complete the
lock and dam at Hoard's Rocks,
This appropriation was not made, and
therefore ] have to report all con-
struction as stopped and put the work
under charge of watchmen, until such
time as a new appropriation will per
nit its completion. The amount
available for this Improvement is
$3l6.54. The amount estimated for
the completion of the existing project
of improvement is $2l4,000. The
amount asked for the next fiscal year
is $S5,
We have no doubt that orr efficient
representative in Congress will pro
cure the necessary appropriation to
finish the improvements on the Mon
ongahela at the coming session OF
Congress. He will be assisted by
Senator Davis and others, and we
may safely reckon on having Slack
water navigation here next summer.

West Union was the scene of q
tragedy, last week. Mr. Josiah Reed,
residing in Doddridge county, some
distance from West Union, was found
dead under the bridge crossing Mid
die Island creek. 1t is feared there
was foul play, as Reed had visited the
place to pay off debt, and had tax
en- about $400 with him. just previ
Gus to his death he was seen in an in
toxicated condition. 1t scarcely
seems possible that fall from the
bridge, which is only about fourteen
feet high at the place where he was
found, could kill him. His skull was
crushed. We have not yet learned
whether he used the money for the
purpose intended, nor whether suspi-
cion rests on any one.-Rtchie Ga

To Teachers of NKOHonEaIfa
Comfy.

A. L. Wade, County Superinten-
dent, informs us that he wrote to
State Superintendent Pendleton,
making inquiry whether institutes
could, under the law, be held on Sat
urdays or not; and if not whether
they should be held in one session of
eight days or in shorter sessions.
The State Superintendent answer
ed as follows:
institutes cannot be held on Sat
urdays. They can, and / think
ought to be held in one session of
eight days, or at most in two sessions
Of four days each. This must be at
the discretion of the County Superin-
tendent."
Mr.. Wade informs us that he de-
sires the teachers of each district to
arrange for district institute, to be
held in each district before the schools
of the district open; that he will, if
possible, be present at the opening of
each institute, unless two commence
on the same day; that the teachers of
each district will nominate q compe-
tent teacher, whom he will appoint to
act as conductor in the absence of
the County Superintendent. Mr..
Wade further states that he desires
the teachers Of each district to decide
at their first institute whether they
desire county institute, or whether
they wish the entire work to be done
in district institutes. He suggests
that the opening institute continue
not less than two days, and that the
residue Of the work be done, if it suit
the convenience Of the teachers, du-
ing holidays.

Col. JAMES EVANS and lady are
now in Uniontown, having reached
that place recently from Colorado
where they sojourned during the past
summer. Last weeks Genius gave the
following paragraph relating to their
stay in the West: "Col. James
Evans and lady Of Morgantown,
West Virginia returned fortnight
ago, from trip to Colorado, where
they had been sojourning since last
July. Their location whilst in that
State was some miles south of Denver
City, the capital Of the State. He
thinks Colorado is one Of the health
lest states in the Union and the rich
est in minerals; that the soil is natu-
rally productive but in consequence
Of but little rain during the growing
season, grain connot be raised with
out irrigation. He says some of the
richest farming lands lie near the
foot Of the Rocky Mountains, and
strong streams of water issue from
the mountains and the farmers living
near dig trenches similar to the race
running through Uniontown, and
lead the water on their fields. They
make headgate at the head Of the
race to let in sufficient water to suit
their purpose and at intervals they
turn small portions Of water on the
fields they wish to irrigate and by so
doing they raise the finest wheat, rye
and grass he has ever seen grown in
the United States. Whilst Mr.. Ev-
ans was in Colorado he visited Pixies
Peak, which is regarded by all tray
elers as one of the most wonderful
places on the continent. Going on
horseback and intending to stay ov-
er night he carried with him his pro
visions and horsefeed. Although it
is government post, there is one
building ON the Peak which contains
four rooms. Here young man, a
former resident Of Baltimore, is en-
gagged by the Government as tele-
graph operator; has no company ex-
cept persons visiting the place; does
his own cooking and carries ON gan
orally for himself, A person arriving
there by chance would suppose he
had happened on q destitute habita-
tion instead of building belonging
to the Government. Mr.. Evans Wis
tied the mines and observed the mo-
dus operoadi, where gold, silver, cop
per and lead were taken ont of the
same mine"

WE learn from the Foirmoat Vest
Firgiaida that the store of r. +.
Pickett, in Rivesville, was recently
broken into and robbed of moAey and
goods to the amount of thirty-iive or
forty dollars. The thieves gained adj
mittanee by MASKING in the rear win
dows of the building with a rock. 1t
is supposed that one of the robbers
was badly cut by the broken glass,
as a quantity of blood was discovered
about the premises next morning.

AN idea for the school room comes
from Pennsylvania, where it is said
to have been introduced by young
school teacher. 1t consists of devot-
ing half hour each day to a mutual
discussion of the current news. The
leading items of intelligence being
stated, either orally or by being writ
ten on the black board, a general con
versation follows, in which the teach
err and pupils participate, upon each
separate item. Such practice
would not fail to result in great adj
vantage to the pupils in increasing
their store Of general, practical
knowledge Of passing events, and
their relations to each other.
