I.ons;eIlow in the Schools.


On last Friday afternoon the 73d birth
day of the poet Longfellow was celebrat-
ed in the Public Schools of jackson. The
pupils in each department voted for the
person whom they desired to make short
! address. The children in Miss Emma
Longs department voted that the senior
editor of THE STANDARD should address
| them. Two pretty, clean, intelligent little
girls came a week in advance, and invited
us. We promised them that we would
accept the invitation.
Promptly at one o'clock on Friday
we went to the School-house. When the
time arrived for the pupils to come in, a
drum was beaten up stairs, and the 800 to
900 children marched in with the preci-
sion and order of veteran soldiers. We
went into Miss Longs room, where there
were perhaps 40 children, averaging about
II years of age, They appeared to be un-
der the most thorough drill, and paid the
closest attention to their teacher. They
all took their seats at their desks, with
states before them, and pencil in hand,
and looked at their teacher. She would
pronounce a word, when all would lean
forward and write the word on their
states. Then they would straighten up
and look at the teacher. She would pro-
nounce another word, when forward again
would go the heads. and at once the WORD
would be recorded OH the states. After
a number of words had been thus writ
ten, the states were pushed aside, and a
word was pronounced. The first pupil
stood up with arms folded across her
breast, pronounced the word, spelled it,
and sat down. THE next pupil arose,with
folded arms, took the next word, and went
through it in the same way, and so on,
with all the pupils. They rarely mis-
spelled word:
There was singing, and other exercises.
Then the Longfellow part of the pro-
gramme was taken up They all answer
ed questions as to the place Of birth, time
of entering college, time of graduating.
number and names of children and many
other matters relating to the great poet.
They recited many verses from his poems,
and sang some of them.
We made a short address, and then Wis
tied other rooms.
The various rooms in the School-house
were neatly and tastefully decorated. A
large number of visitors were in attend
ance, and the people as well as the teach
ers and pupils, seemed to feel just pride
in the Public Schools of Jackson.

AT the Teachers Institute at this place
during the Holidays, the teachers very
kindly, and very generously, permitted
us to take part with them in the compet-
itory exercises, although we had not been
teaching for more than quarter of a
century. We only competed in spelling,
and took a five dollar prize. AS we had
all the books we wanted, we chose very
fine album, with spaces for more than a
hundred photographs. On accepting Git,
we asked all the teachers, and others
taking, part in the Institute, to send us
their photographs, to put in the album.
where they would be preserved and kept
until long after all of us shall have been
gone.
John T. Moore promised us his photo
graph, but as yet we have not received it.
On Saturday w. M. Johnson brought
us his ikeness-a very fine one. That is
the first received. VIII the other teachers
favor us with their pictures?

House, the Painter.

We have heretofore, somewhat in spi-
rit of jollity, alluded to specimens of the
work of John House, the sign-painter.
But now, seriously, we wish to say that
we regard Mr.. House as one of the fastest
and best painters we ever saw. We have
to acknowledge the receipt, as a present,
of the neat sign over the entrance of THE
STANDARD OFFICE. We understand that
Mr.. House, in company with Erwin ia
cobs, will rig out a fine wagon, in which
the two will travel from place to place,
filling orders for work in their line. If
this be true, we wish to say that we do
not know of two men who can do more
work, or stand more fun, than our young
friends House and Jacobs But of course
they will come back to Jackson. Every
body does that. If you want a sign, how
. ever, don't let House go away until he
has painted one for you.

Mrs. CARR was iii our Office on Friday
afternoon, and said that our brief notice
of her birthday party hardly did justice
to her friends, who SO kindly remembered
her. Mrs. Carr was "a years of age, and
she had heard that few of her friends
intended to take dinner with her, but she
was most agreeably surprised when quite
a number of them came, with valuable
presents, and baskets filled with provis-
ions. They had very pleasant time.
Mr.. Carr was absent, holding religious
meetings, and none of his gentlemen
friends attended the party, but the ladies
made it lively, and we do not know but
that it was as well the way that it was
conducted.
Mrs Carr is very estinnable Christian
woman, and has great many friends IN
this community.

ROBERT HENDERSON writes to us that
there were two or three errors in our ac-
count of his sons death. He went to get
his boots mended, and about II o'clock
next day he was found with his face in
the water, not a creek, but depression
where water collected in wet weather.
He was not subject to fits-only had fits
when a child, but for sixteen years had
been healthy, and had no occasion to take
medicine.

On Monday morning the Court Hous

Sheriff Jones was on hand promptly, as

John Reed as assistants.
William H. Horton, Clerk, and Frank

matter of course Andy Johnson, janitor
general, was W
making himself useful generally.
The Court Rroom was pretty well filled
with Jurors, witnesses, litigants, etc, and
all were orderly and quiet.
At 10 o'clock the train from Portsmouth
arrived, and r. II. Jones, attorney from
Oak Hill, and number of jurors and
others came ON the train. The names of
the Grand Jurors were called, and all an
swered except Peter McClain, of Frank
lin township. Samuel H. Swift, of Jack
son, was called in his place We pub
lished the names of the Grand
Jurors four weeks ago, and will
not repeat them now. James F. Rice was
appointed foreman, and the usual oath
administered, and the usual charge given
by the Court. In the charge, the Judge
remarked that there are IS transcripts
filed from justices of the peace, two of
which were for riot, one for affray, one
for carrying concealed weapons, six for
assault and battery, one for stabbing with
intent to kill, one for petit larceny; one
for resisting officer, one for uttering OBJ
scene and lacivious language. one for aid
ing and assisting prisoner to escape.
The Jurors were admonished that they
must never reveal the matters transpiring
in the jury room. Jurors often make the
mistake that they may reveal what took
place while they were in session, after
they have finally adjourned, but this is a
the injunction of secrecy re-
mains for all time.
Sixty-three witnesses were called to go
before the Grand Jury, and most of them
appeared, were sworn, and received GER
tifcates from the Clerk that they had
been sworn.
Nr. Bundy of Wellston, Judge Welch of
Athens, and Mr. Rannels of Macarthur,
arrived in the afternoon. No trial was
but several preliminary mat
5ers, in several cases, were attended to.
