school BOARD.


The board had its most important
meeting Of the year last Tuesday
that at which the teachers are elect
ed for the ensuing year. A large
number of applications were before
the boarl, some Of them backed by
the highest testimonials, and some
known to members Of the board as
teachers Of the highest qualifica-
tions. After a careful weighing of
all considerations it was concluded
that the success of the schools I'M
der its present corps of teachers had
been so great that it would be bet
ter to make no change. The appIi-
cations, however, are on file, and
should anything occur to occasion
vacancy before or during next ses-
sion, the board has its eye upon
teachers well qualified to fill it.
The acknowledgements of the
board were formally rendered to
Miss Brunson for her volunteered
services in the school during the
present session.
1t was ordered to be announced
that all applications ON the part of
public school pupils for scholarships
in the Southwestern Presbyterian
University be made TO the secretary
of the board before Monday, June
81. Members of the eighth and
ninth grades, who have passed the
examination at the end of the pres
ent session, are eligible. An exam
ination of applicants will take place
at the superintendent Office in the
Howell building, on Monday, the
2lRt inst, at9-a. m.
On the same day Prof. Carney,
county superintendent, will hold an
of applicants for schOl-
arships in the East Tennessee Uni
This examination will be
held at eleven a. m, and is open
to all applicants in Montgomery
county.

Commissioner Killebrew gives us
one OF. his best periodical reports on
the culture of the various breeds OF
sheep. The book is got up in his
usual completeness of style, and is
largely taken up with a description
of the various breeds of sheep, in
reference to their capacity for pro-
ducing fleece and mutton. AS an
average producer Of the two i'll
Quantity at an early age he assigns
high value to a strain derived by
Mr.. Bakewell from a cross between
the CotswOld and the Leicester; but
he Justly remarks that now the
expectation of stock for food has
assumed vast proportions, the quail
ity as well as the quantity Of meat
produced is very important point,
more so than formerly. John Bull
is particular about his mutton, and
has great Partially for the South

THE people of the south-side, at
Salem, had the privilege of hearing
an earnest and able discourse from
Rev. JnO. w. Hammer, sr., ON last
Sunday. The subject was the king
dom of Christ as eontrasted with
the kingdoms of this world. These,
dependent on physical force for sup
port, soon pass away; but the king
dom of Christ, founded ON truth,
and being in essence truth, is eter-
nal. The important practical lesson
deduced was "Be true" In most
interesting manner did he show
how Christ, who had at his COM
mand all physical force, and who
by the breath of his mouth could
have swept away all the kingdoms
of the world, yet in order to be true,
submitted to the agOnies of the cross
and to death. The people, were
very appreciative and were delight
ed as well as eomforted and edi-
fled. ,H -...- t-t Hi'

We have before us the annual
catalogue Of the S.-W. p. University,
very neatly printed at the office o.
this paper. From this catalogue il
appears that the university is under
the direction of the synods of Ala
bama, Arkansas. Memphis, Missis-
sippi, Nashville and Texas.
We noticed at considerable length
last week the commencement exer-
cises of the institution, but now de-
sire to state that the just praise we
then bestowed was very far short of
its real merits. What we noticed
then were merits that appear upon
the surface. palpable to all who at
tend the exercises, but we have
been cognizant of the fact that what
remained beneath the surface was
of far more value than what was
exhibited during commencement
week. We hive known of the un-
firing energy with which the work
of the session has been prosecuted !;
we are acquainted with the high
attachments and conscientious devo-
ton to their duty of the chancellor
and professors, and have intimately
studied the admirably digested
course Of study prescribed in the
various schools among which the
curriculum is distributed, and we
state with confidence that nowhere
can a sounder education be obtained,
intellectual, moral or religious, than
in the S.-W. p. University.
In our notice Of the exercises last
week we made one or two mistakes
for which we ask Indulgence on the.
score of our numerous pressing du-
ties during the week.
First we spoke of DIR. Palmer's
sermon on the Sunday night as the
commencement sermon, which it
was not; ii was addressed to the
Young Mems Christian Association.
The commencement sermon was
preached in the morning by the
Rev. DIR. VIM. X. Marshall, of Mar
shall county, Texas. We did not
hear it, having been engaged at the
Methodist church listening to DIR.
West, but are informed that it was
a very impressive discourse.
Our other mistake was less excus-
able. In Chancellor Waddel's in
auguraI discourse he had contrasted,
as the results of religious and inf
del education the characters of Sir
Isaac Newton and Auguste Compile.
BY some unaccountahle oversight
we wrote LIE Compile instead of
Compile. Of course we knew that
Auguste Compile, The author Of the
positive philosophy was spoken of,
but there the blunder is. 1t was
the more unfortunate as Chancellor
Waddel in pointing it out informed
US that he is acquainted with a
Professor LIE Compile in this coun-
try, who on reading the passage
might think that his name had
been invidiOusly mentioned.

THE Supreme court of Indiana
has decided that selling cigars at
a hotel stand on Sunday is a "wOrk
of necessity" and hence that the
seller cannot be indicted under the
statute. The court says, that smOk-
ing a cigar is as much a necessity to
those who have acquired the habit,
as drinking tea or coffee.
