TI,c TrnIning OF Girls.

The Rev. W. GLADDEN., Of Springfield,
Mass, recently sent out circulars to moth.
ers in that city asking, l. What arc the
most common defects in the training OF
our girls? 2. What principles Of conduct
are most important, and what habits are
essential to the development OF noble and
useful womanhood? At a public meeting
the results OF his inquiries have been
given. Female habits Of dress were re-.
ierred to as more injurious than male hab.
its. Most women, too, take much less out
door exercise than is good for them. Tho
lack OF exercise is largely caused by foolish
dress, which makes active exercise i'm
possible. 1t is generally Of improper ma.
ture and unsuitably adjusted, and creates
many OF the nervous diseases OF women.
Another mistake on the part OF many
girls is in passingt heir time out OF school
hours in idleueSs and frivolous amuse.
ments, doing and learning nothing. The
speaker said that more is done In wealthy
families to teach the daughters habits OF
industry than in those Of moderate cir
cumstances. A correspondent referred to
one woman who says she Is proud that her
daughter never did any sweeping; anoth.
or would not let her child do any kitchen
work. Another Is to make dress the main
business OF life. One letter referred to q
woman who said ever her young infant,
II am SO glad it's a girl, l can dress her
so much finer than could boy" and
Mr.. GLADDEN. added, 10, woman, to what
depths OF degradation have you fallen
when you can look in the face Of baby
and have such a thought as that find lodG.
ment for an instant in your mind! What
can such woman do, but destroy the
soul OF her children. Still, he thought
the woman not wholly to blame,
because their vanity Is stimulated by
the foolish admiration OF men; the
girl who catches husband only by fine
dress too often finds that the prize she has
won is broken heart. The next mistake
is in deyoting too much time to novel
reading, which excites morbid and unreal
ideas Of life and craving that eau never
be gratiied. 1t Is mental dissipation OF q
dangerous character scarcely less SO than
that OF drink. Another mistake Is loo

MR, J. D. WI7uAN, Of Valley Grove,
this county, tells us that the wheat is look

injured by late freezing there is the pros

gound, while, taking into consideration
the increased acreage, the yield will be
greatly enhanced. He also tells us that
there has been quite an advance in the
price Of sheep as compared with last fall,
equal to SO per cent, on account both o.
the present and prospective price OF WOOL

The Imporlance OF FISH Culture.

Nearly all the States Of the Union, Wes'
Virginia among the number, are taking q
growing interest in flsh-culture, and year by
wear the different varieties Of the best fish
for food purposes, found in all parts OF the
world, are propagated by artificial methods
in immense numbers, and transported to
different waters. As great economic
question the propagation OF fish in inland
waters Is one OF vast importance. II is
in one sense Of the word new provision
OF cheap food for the masses, especially
for those who would otherwise be unsup-
piled with this healthful and nutritious
diet. The inland waters OF the country,
tributary to the principal rivers, have
really been drained OF their natural stock
ofiish, and at one time it seemed likely
that OF an early day in our history-these
streams would be known no more as fish
grounds. But happily science has, as in
SO many other instances, come to the aid oil
mans necessities, and opened up a way
whereby the supply of this cheap food can
be indefinitely extended in all parts OF
the country. There is at this time
widespread interest in the establishment
OF what are known as fish farms, where,
in large artificial pools, fed by fresh
streams Of water, and stocked with the
best varieties OF fish, myriads OF the fnny
tribe are easily fed and raised to greater
size than in their natural state, their fla
yor far exceeding that OF other fish, and
capable OF being sold at profit at a
very low rate to the people of the sur
rounding country, and to the inhabitants
Of cities and towns close by. In country
like West Virginia, where streams OF fresh
water are so abundant these fish farms
could be made, we doubt not, very profit.
able. Rough pieces Of land could be con.
yerted into large pools, several acres in
extent, into which the best varieties OF
iresL water fish could be introduced to an
almost infinite extent, and the product
sold at rates that would increase the con-
sumption of fish to an extent never
thought possible in times past.
We suggest to those who have an in
clination in this direction that expert
ments in the matter Of pools, on small
scale II need be, could be made in our
immediate vicinity, and that from the
Lotcbo.v M Romnay thrnuoh the agency
Of Mr.. H. B. Miller, Of this city, such va
rites as are bestadapted appropriation in
this region could be easily secured. Such
experiments are going on in other parts Of
thecountry with decided success. Good fish
always command ready market, and II
better flsh than those usually obtained
could be furnished at the rates said to be
possible, under the new methods deyel.
oped, they would certainly be in great
popular demand.

UxcLr JouS TuRpIN, Of Clinton, this
county, left with US yesterday four very
choice ears Of corn, weighing altogether
four pounds and Eve ounces, which were
raised on ground that had been planted
in corn for twenty consecutive years, and
from seed raised right along on the ground.
His method is to shell of the corn at the
two ends of the car and use only the mid
die kernels. Hethus starts in always with
good seed, and generally gets a good re-
turn. Uncle John, although living on a
modest farm Of ten acres, has studied to
advantage the best processes Of making
his labor tell to good advantage on his
ground. We are under obligations to him
for couple of interesting English publ
cations bearing on agriculture, stock rails

 He was 8 mere child when given into the hands of private teacher in this city, and in three years he passed through the primaries of an English education, and qualified to enter the class of the second year at the Free Academy He has passed through that in- stitution in a little over three years, having acquired in a little over six years an educa- tion which takes the average American youth twelve years to attain.
