Editor Register Please allow me a
small space in your paper to give a
condensed report Of the Teachers
Institute recently held in the Town
Hall, Arbuckle District.
This body commenced its work
December 2Sd ndcontinued through
the holidays. The attendance was
small, (only twelve teachers being
enrolled but the lack in numbers
was counterbalanced BY the untiring
energy and eager devotion by which
each member entered upon his duty
The Institute was conducted by
A. D. Scott, Esq, who acquitted him
self in a very creditable manner.
Rev. R. W. Davis was present du.
ring the. organization Of the Insti-
tute, and delivered an address on the
subject Of Teachers Work" His
discourse, though brief, was a sermon
within itself.
Ech day was devoted to class drills
in the various branches taught in
our common schools. The subject Of
theory and practice was ably dis
cnssed, especially by Messrs. Barnet,
Bechtle and Campbell. Mr.. Bech-
ties experience accords with the
scriptural injunction which says
'lf you spare the rod, you spoil the
childp 6
Several Of the young ladies and
gentlemen of the neighborhood at
tended the Institute and took part
in the exercises.
Miss Samantha Summers, (being
the only lady teacher present)
should not be forgotten. She is now
tecahing her first school, and judging
from her mode of teaching, will soon
be numbered among Mason county's
best teachers.
AT the close of the Institute a great
deal of miscellaneous business was
transacted, and several resolutions
were adopted. We will not consume
space by giving these in full, but
will append the following: M
RESOLVED, That the thanks of this
Institute are due, and are hereby
rendered TO the citizens of this neigh
borhood for the kind and hospitable
manner in which they have enter
tanned us during the session of this
body. SECRETARY.

GRIMM's LANDING ITEMs,--The
watch-meetingatthe ArbGckle School
House, on Arbuckle Creek, was quite
a success. AT 7 o'clock the hose
was full, and we are glad to say that
our community was represented so
well. Services commenced at half
past Z o'clock, in praying and sing
ing by Rev. OFT; after which the
class leader, L. Pretty, gave out the
word "watch," to be discussed, and
called on Rev. Dunfeld of Cross
Creek, to give his opinion, which he
did, and caused many tears to be
shed. Watch and pray that you may
not fall into temptation. Rev. Cash
spoke on the same subject, which
lasted about ten minutes, and was
very interesting, after which there
was singing; and we extend our
thanks to the young ladies and gen.
tlemen of 10 Mile Creek and sur.
rounding country, for the kindness
they showed, in helping us to sing.
After this speaking, meeting COM
menced, and the congregation be-
haved themselves well; after which
there was singing again, then pray.

until half past ten. We were glad to
see so many praying members in the
house. Then Rev. Dunfeld prcach-

The Legislature.


The Legislature meets in the city
of Wheeling to-day, and will contin.
ne in session for forty-fiye days
This body is said to be one of the
most intelligent ever elected in tie
State. Very many important quest.
ions will come before the Legislature
which will render the session an
unusually interesting and exciting
one, and probably cause an extra
session.
Among the important matters will
be an amendment to the State Con-
stitution giving authority to in
crease the number Of Circuit Courts,
and toabolish The County Court.
The County Court, as at present
managed, has failed to give satisfact.
ion, and besides it is entirely too ex-
pensive q piece of machinery to
transact county business.
The Free School Law needs a good
deal Of attention andamendment to
have it work smoothly, and to be
easily understood.
The road law will como in for u
good share Of attention. The pres.
ent system of road taxation is bur
densome, unequal and unjust. The
county roads are now kept up by a
District tax; and some of the Dis
tricts have to pay u road tax as high
us 25 cts. on the 500 valuation Of
property, some 5 cts, and others not
cent. The poor District have gen.
orally the most roads, and pay the
highest taxes. What we want is a
road law that will make the "road
tax" a county matter, thereby crea-
ing general. fund from which the
Districts can draw, as they may
need it. By this means the road
tax will be equal and uniform" and
the wealthy districts will help to
keep up the roads of the poorer dis
tricts. Reads are q county matter,
and should be kept up by county
taxation.
There is another matter that
ought to receive the earnest atten-
ton of every intelligent member of
the Legislature, and that is the
Publication Law" We have one
now, but it is very imperfect. Mat
tiers that should be published in a
newspaper, (and are in all the States
that surround us,) are now written
and posted at the Court House door.
All sales Of land, applications for
roads and ferries, administrator and
executor notices, justices attach.
ment notices, &C., ought to be pub
lished in some newspaper in tie
county; and the Legislature ought to
provide for such publications by
proper statute. Another thing the
Legislature should do, is, to regulate
the price of all legal advertising by
law, the same as they do in Ohio and
many other States. We hope the
Legislature will give this matter
their attention, and do something
towards getting our State out of the
"old fogy" ruts she is now in.

This, together with the unusual cold
