Every school teacher who is q resi-
dent of Nez Perez county is requested
to send his or her name to the com
mittee on education that their address
may bt. known, so that matters e1
pected soon to come before the board
of education may be sent to all teach
ers in Nez Perce county. The com
mittee are about devising means by
which to bring about a teachers SEES
sion soon to be held in this city. 1t
is generally outlined in the minds of
the committee that vacation OF one
week might he given in all the public
schools of this county, and the teach
ers repair to this city. where hall
would be secured for the session an
accommodations be had either at one
of our hotels or in private boarding
house at rates SO reasonable that it
might come within the means Of all toat-
tend the session. 1t is thought that q
certain programme might be effected
by which the whole expenses, both
general and individual, Of the attend
ing teachers could be liquidated, be-
sides providing q fund of knowledge
presented i'll q new method which
would be Il lasting gain, The teach
ers might open or close the session by
giving dramatic entertainment, be-
sides lectures, sociables, concerts or
ball, through which means a current
expense fund could be obtained. Tie
purpose of the session will be to har-
monte the different views now held
by teachers in regard to the manner of
cu!tivatin. the mind Of the pupils.
The world is at the present time agi-
tating the question, "How can the
child be taught in the most natural
way" and well is it worthy of consid-
Grafton. Tho Quincy system tramples
down those old time barriers bY which
teachers were obligated to conform to
a set of rules framed by lawmakers
who were wholly incompetent to the
task. BY this system the teacher has
a latitude in which to develop the art
of teaching, based on principles and
reasons engendered in his own mind
This system, you will observe, must Of
necessity bring into demand high
grade of intellect on the part of tho
teacher, the proof of which will al
ways rest upon the advancement th'
scholar has made in given time. Tn,

ANONYMOUS Postal Cards.

Mr.. EDIToR.-Some lady with more
zeal than wisdom, is sending postal
cards to our young men or to their
friends, directing their attention to
their spiritual interests. AS they are
sent anonymously this public way
seems the only possible II of inform
ing the writer that instead of the good
we have no doubt she hoped for, much
harm is being done. The young mer
are enragcd at the publicity of appeal
and ready TO suspect every christian
worker of being the author, conse-
qucntly the good that others are trying
to do is hindcred. d.
We have known of one or two cases
Of the kind our correspondent refers 10
and can truly affirm that the spiritual
welfare of the victims was sorcly en-
dangcrcd thereby. Whether ssome
lady with more zeal than WISDOM" or
some sensclcss joker is The author, the
effect upon the recipient is the same.
Probably if the devil wanted a secure
and permanent berth in the fiery heart
of youth, he would begin by sending
an anonymous postal card expressing
concern at his spiritual condition. Ii
these cards are from the well-intention-
ed source which II correspondent
surmiscs, the suggestion of the harm
which may be done will probably put q
stop to them.

Sometime ago Cyrus McEerson and
James McFerson, both lately of Gosh
en-, and Alonzo Derby made an assault
upon one Horace Farris near M. ii.
Hamilton's, but he escaping from their
hands, managed to make a sanctuary of
Mr.. Hamilton's domicile, which they
concluded they would not attempt to
violate, for which performance due
complaint was made by Grand Juror
Boynton, but the chaps most interested
kept out of the way until last Sunday
night, when Cyrus McEerson was found
at A. Piper's and was arrested by Con-
stable Ripley. On Monday he was
brought before Justice Newton, and
upon examination was ordered TO find
bail in $500 TO answer for his fun be-
fore our chief justice, failing to do
which he at present is boarding with
Cobb. Pending proceedings with
McFerson, Derby came out of his con
cealment and was captured by special
officer Baker, assisted by. Chas. Bick-
ford, who drove his quarry 10 and
across the river but not until quite a
Int was secured. Upon being
ought before Esquire Newton, he in
his kindness and impartiality allowed
hin to keep company with his coDfrere
on the same terms. We understand
that the government proved assault
with intent to kill. A. G. Chandler
conducted the case on behalf of the
state. James McFerson is still at large
but is liable to be secured at any time.
Connected with the above there is
quite a laugbable incident. Somehow
before the arrest of McFerson, w.
Whitaker of Bethel and z, Padic had
occasion to pass the house where he
was stopping, and they being seen,
created quite a oommotion in his mind,
and breaking from the house made
plendid time down the hill through
C briers to the river, which he speedi-
ly forded though the water was both
rapid, deep and cold, and plunged in
to the woods beyond at a pace that
would have done Weston no discrcdit.
We hope that friend Whitaker will do
something to improve his LOOKS 10 he
will not frighten the natives so badly
again.

I'LL.

Mr.. EDIToR.-The correspondent of.
the journal seems to lay a blame upon
some of u townsmen, who favored
TIE building of the new town hall, and
accuses Il en- of having a disease called
soften'ng o. the brain. Our own people
we'll urde. stand the cause, but outsid-
ers mey wonder. The fact Is, Mr..
Editor, the town of Cornwall, proud
and independent as she is, and as much
as she is known abroad, we are ashamed
to say II, never has possessed q house in
which to meet to do the necessary bust
ness of the town. The rooms in which
meetings have been held belong TO the
several religious denominations ard are
small, low, and unfit for TIE purpose,
and could not be made to n Get the re-
quirements of the town without q COM
plete remodeling and then would be
but a poor apology .or what a town
hall ought TO be. These facts were
taken into consideration by the COM
mittee in their report. For q small
town to possess two halls is supcrfluous.
One was sufficient, and IL seemed TO be
the minds of the majority of the princi-
pal taxpayers to erect a building that
should atone for the past neglect and in
future be an honor TO the town. 1t is
well understood that the enterprise of a
place is marked by its public buildings,
and in view of these facts the majority
favored the building of the hall. Then
came the tug of war over its location.
The West claimed it foc their slightly
position, dry, loamy soil, little village,
and above all, the time honored custom,
while the Center was the nost central
point and would accommodate best the
greater portion of the town. And to
prove this, a two-thirds VOC favored
the Center. So enragcd was the West
at what they called robbing them of
their rights, that they set at work to
overthrow the proceedings of the FORM
er meetings and prevent the town from
honoring itself, employing every
means, whether fair or foul, making as
a plea, the enormous expense and high
taxation, and inducing ifpossible every
poor man, who supported merely a poll,
to join them. Bnt Notwithstanding the
effort, the town hall is to be built. So
the West may heap upon us all the
abuse they can, and the journal cores
pond publicly remind us of past favors,
of non-se,f-reliancc and forgetfuln' IS,
and charge us with removing the stove
pipe to make the chapel look dingy
and dark, which by the way was UNI
necessary. But in our opinion, Mr..
Editor, had that fair correspondent
been present at the last meeting, crowd
ed into the gloomy seven-by-nine room
as it was, we think she too would have
been affected with the same softening
of the brain, and like the majority, cast
a vote in favor of the town hall.

Z The sudden death of Mrs. Dempsey,
has cast a sudden gloom over this en-

urday evening apparently well, when
in the night she was taken suddenly
i'll with the heart disease, and died the
next morning. Her husband and two
SONS, the only children, were absent.
She was y very active worker in the
building up of Christ's kingdom; one
eve willing 10 do Ills biding, in fact
she seldom met a person but that she
introduced the subject of religion,
hence the very large circle of friends
that mourn her loss.
The services held at the funeral were
memorial services, conducted by the
Rev. j. G.. Hall, of Chittenden, VT,
assisted by Rev. M. Sisco, of Forest
dale, VT, and the evangelist Mrs. Ham,
mond.
The attendance was very large, and
not a relative there but the three
mourncrs, husband and sons. Her
bible lay open on the coffin at a ~favorite
chapter of hers. She was forty-onc
years old. "In the midst of life there
is DEATH" and while we mourn her
death we can but utter, earth has one
