Editor Chronicles:
On Sunday, the 26th instant, we
were favored with an address from
DR.. W. II. Deal, of Colfax, on the
subject of education. Owing to
other appointments at the same
hour, the assembly was not as large
as it would otherwise have been.
His address was very interesting
and his advice good. Now, the
question is, viii they take it? Will
the people unite upon it and use
their exertion and influence 70
build school houses and furnish
the necessary books to teach the
children Of the land with? 1t IS
to be hoped they will, and that we
will soon see the youths of our fair
land rising to distinction and emf
nence. We could see the doctor
felt an interest in the children, and
wished to see them become learned
and intelligent men and women.
Ii he can awaken the people, and
excite ali interest in education, We
will soon be.able to boast of fine
school in'this section. There is a
sixteenth section of land here, and
if we can get it appropriated to
the school at this place, we will
have foundation to go upon, and
may be able to draw in those who
are pulling off.

Great labor and ingenuity are ex-
pended on the production of the
Bank of England notes. They are
made from pure new white linen,
and for two hundred years have
been manufactured i'm the same
family. The printing is done by a
most curious process in the bank
building. There is an elaborate ar
rangement for insuring that no note
shall be like any other in existance;
consequently there never was a du-
