FoOTPAD AND A "CLAIM JUMPER SUM- MARILY HANGED TO OTH- FER OFFENDERs-INTENsE EXCITEMENT AMONG THE MINERS.

Leadville is the scene of great excite ment, writes correspondent from the new town, the old mining days of Cali fornia being forcibly recalled to mind by an occurrence which took place this morning about one o'clock. At that hour 8 mob, numbering several hun dred, attacked the jail, and, in spite of all obstacles, forcibly removed two of the prisoners, footpad named Stewart and 8 "jumper of claims named Frod- scham. These men were taken to an ad- joining shed and hanged till dead. Frodscham had an evil name among the miners, with whom in Leadville, as in all other mining communities, the of- fense of dumping lots or claims is one of the most heinous.
 Frodscham had been recently con- cerned in several mining affairs growing out of lot '' jumping, and had been mo- tifed to leave town. He was arrested last night and lodged in jail for some petty ofense, and the Leadville miners, finding their warning to him disobeyed, took the summary action stated.
 Stewart was one of two footpads or highway robbers who, few nights since, meeting German barber, stopped him on the highway, and, in the language of the ''road," ordered him to hold up his hands. The barber did so, but as it happened, he had pistol in one hand and he fired, instantly killing Stewards com panion and wounding Stewart in the neck, so that he was unable to escape, and he was arrested and lodged in jail.
 An immense crowd surrounded the shed all day where the two men were hanged, as the bodies remained sus- pended till late in the afternoon. The policemen who are on duty permit each newcomer to take @ look at the bodies, and then compel him to leave after his curiosity has been satisfied. A placard of warning hangs around the neck Of Frodscham, on which is inscribed:- "Notice to all thieves, bunko thieves, footpads and chronic bondsmen for the same and sympathizers with the above classes of criminals ls-This is our con- mencement, and this shall be your fate. We mean business, and let this be your last warming"
 The event has produced the most profound excitement among all classes of people, some deprecating the action Of the mob and being unwilling to see punishment, however we'll deserved, meted out to evil doers without due compliance with all judicial forms, while others, mostly of the old school of miners, believe iu summary retribution n for offences like those of Stewart and Frodscham. The crimes of each of these men are such as appeal very strongly to the feelings of mining community, and it seems by the placard affixed to Frodscham's neck that the miners intend that the warning they gave to h1m to leave the neighborhood shall be made sufficiently public to act as terror to men of that class.

Teachers and ask-Masters.
The public have not held teachers

The public have not held teachers to their true responsibility. We send a young lad or 8 young girl to school, and find that, while we gre paying out a great deal of money for them, they are gaining nothing. We comp lain, and are informed that our child1en are not industrious, that they do not seem interested in their studies, that they are absorbed in play, etc etc. In ninety nine cases in a hundred, our disappoint- ment is entirely the fault of the teacher. He or she is simply incompetert for the duty they have undertaken. 4 first class teacher always has good pupils. Lack Of interest in study is always the result of poor teaching. Wo sand a boy to college, and find that he regards his studies as D gfind-that he is only interested in getting good marks, and that he is getting no scholarly tastes, and winning no scholarly delights. We inquire, and find him in the hands of a young tutor, without experience, who really pretends to be no more than 8 task-master, and who knows nothing, and seems to care nothing, about the office of teaching. The placing of large masses of young men in the hands of inexperienced persons, who do not pre- tend to do more than to set tasks and record the manner in which they are performed, without guidance or assist ance, is gross imposition of the college
 upon trusting public, and it is high time that an outcry so determined and persistent is raised against it that il shall procure reform. .-J c. Hogzand

A TEST CAsE.-An Iowa landlord bound his tenant with cast-iron leasing contract, which provided that the rents, "whether due or to become due, shall be perpetual lien on any crops and other personal property of the lessee, whether the same be exempt from exe- cution or not" The legal force of this clause was made the chief issue in 8 lawsuit. It was ordered that contract making subject to seizure property which the statute declared to be exempt from execution is contrary to puhlic policy. This is the first case of the kind which has been before the Iowa courts, and the Iowa Supreme Court recently decided to the effect that the contract was valid.

THIS HAS BEEN 8 bad year for most men connected with the hop interest in England. Some hop fields have not been thought worth picking. The scarcity has, however, quadrupled the prices, and farmer with a fair crop will do pretty we'll. English brewers were at one time prohibited from using hops, as they were supposed to spoil the flavor of ale, and beer was the name which gradually came to be applied to the beverage made with hops. England has about 60, 900 acres under hops, about half of it in Kent, heavily taxed.
