EDUCATIONAL. .s.-.
The annual conyocation OF common
school teachers, took place in this town,
on Monday the Goth inst. There was a
good attendance, and for moral and in>
tellectual standing, the teacher OF Butler
county will compare very favorably with
any county in Western Kentucky The
proceedings were marked by an unusual
late hour. The discussions took a high
er and wider range ofthoughl than usual.
every face was radient with smiles, and
every eye sparkling from the inspiration
OF new IDEAS. Such conventions are a
blessing to any community that aPpreci>
ates, and takes an active interest in them
It is best to make a virtue Of necessity,
and 90 in to win. With those families in
which there was sickness, there was a
general expression OF sympathy among
the teachers, and many were the regrets
at the absence Of old Bro. c. Kelley,
whose benevolent face and placid smiles
had checred the young teachers on, to
deeds of greater daring" on many pre-
vious occasions Of the kind We know
he would have enjoyed it so very much,
but stern necessity had ordered other
wise. Alas, such lie life. NJ
