TEACHERS MEETING.

The teachers meeting at Grants
Corners was called to order by Vice
President Mooney at the usual time.
The first exercise was one in local
geography, conducted by Miss Jessie
Van VIE. Miss. Van Wie's class in
primary geography was present, and
she took as her subject the town of
Bristol. The members of the class
acquitted themselves with credit, and
the exercise showed careful attention
on the part of teacher and pupils. If
those teachers who complain that they
cannot make primary geography inter
esting were present they would be con-
WINGED that it may be made very inter
esting.
Miss Carrie Udell then conducted an
exercise in grammar, taking adjectives
as the subject. The teacher handled
the subject in an able manner, but as
is usually the case when a grammatical
points up for discussion, no two could
fully agree.
Federal Courts was the subject of
Miss Clara Upson's exercise, and several
good points were brought out.
A general talk was then held In re-
lation to the best manner of managing
a school. After few remarks from
the Superintendent on the grading of
schools, the meeting adjourned. The
following named teachers were pres
ent: Misses Jessie Van VIE, Carrie
Udell, Clara Epson, Jessie Petrie, Susie
and Louie Grant. Messrs. Mooney.

given, and assign a certain topic ,r

better, If the teacher amounts to ar

A ROMANCE IN RAILROADTNG
With the assistance of the city au-
thorities of Lyons, Ia, the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Company effected
a crossing of the track of the Chicago
q Northwestern Company, at Stock
wells Switch. in the place named.
When the tracklayers of the Milwaukee
Road reached the crossing they found
a switch engine and way car of the
rival road right across the line of the
new road. An extra session of the
Common Council of Lyons was called
to act in the matter. The Stockwell
switch, they declared, had been laid
without authority from the city and
in violation of law. The city marshal
was ordered to move the track from
the street at once to allow the Mil
waukee Company the right of way
granted them. Marshal Balm, accom-
panied by several hundred citizens,
started for the switch. The engineer
on the locomotive declining to move,
he was jerked out OF the caboose and
brakeman named Rawdon was also
forcibly hauled off his perch. Cooley.

then assumed charge of the engine and
moved it quite a distance from the
right of way, the citizens of Lyons
cheering loudly the while. --MtzaCQukee

PRACTICAL GRAMMAR.

No one, says a writer in the Toronto
Mail, who comes in contact frequently
with children who attend school, car
fail to be struck with the small effecG
the study of grammar produces upon
their speech out-of-doors. The rules
they have learned by heart are never
by any chance obeyed by the tongue.
In spite of the textbook and the teach
er, adjectives are used for adverbs, the
past participle for the past tense, and
plural nominatives with singular verbs.
Worse than that, those who speak with
tolerable correctness are entirely at sea
when they attempt % letter or an essay.
Failure in composition is crucial test
of the value of elementary education
and in too many cases we find it fata.
Teachers can do much to remedy thSe
defects if they will. A little judicUus
supervision on the play ground, a fsw
corrections, kind suggestions, and IN
unaffected interest in the progress of
the pupils, will eradicate many inc,r-
rect expressions. In the class recia-
tions, strive to secure correctness of
expression and accuracy of statement,
and as a general rule have the answers
expanded SO as to make complete sN-
fences.

Democratic candidate. The whole
controversy over this count, and In
part the blame Of it, must be laid to
the constitution. That admirable
document says: 1.-THE President of
" the Senate shall, in the presence of
" the Senate and House of Representa-
tiyes, open all the certificates, and
they shall then be counted" Counted
by whom? The constitution speaks
plainly as to who shall open the certi-
ficates, but gives no one the authority
to count them. Now this is what agi-
tates the Democratic mind. Ohio shall
reap the advantage that may accrue
to Whomsoever counts the votes in case
of disputed election. The Republi-
cans are not willing to vote upon a
bill giving the whole matter to the
control of the majority in Congress,
and the Democrats, with an eye to
future need, insist that no body has a
right to count the electoral vote and
decide disputes but Congress. do not
pretend to say which is right, but
think that the bill introduced by
Senator Edwards two or three years
ago, under which all disputed returns
shall be decided by the highest judicial
tribunal in, the disputed States, is far
better than the measure the Democrats
are now trying to force upon the coun-
try for purposes to which we are now
strangers.
Without the Democrats cease their
efforts to pass this resolution, there is
no present prospect for an end of the
debate.
Since it is probable that the. debate
upon the electoral bill will be pro-
longed for days, perhaps weeks, I hear
that many members are discussing the
propriety of giving up the usual
Christmas holidays. and remain here
at their posts. Such self-denial and
abrogation will be something without
precedent, and should the idea become
crystalized into reality, the forty
sixth Congress will stand as monu-
ment for future Congresses to emulate.
Those portions of the Presidents
message relating to the civil service,
the relations of members of Congress
to appointments, the assessment of
civil employees for political purposes,
have been referred in the Senate, to
the select committee to examine the
several branches of the Civil Service.
Senator Johnson, Chairman Of the
Senate committee on Agriculture, in
tends to introduce resolution calling
upon the public printer to explain why
he has not printed the agricultural re-
port for 1879. 1t is said there is great
complaint from agriculturists that they
have not received this report. I think
the Senator will find lack of money,
caused by the false economy of
Democratic House, the real cause of
the delay. SAXON.

THE FIRST DAY OF scHO0

The teachers work begins the 40
ment he has contracted for the schol.
He should endeayor at once to learn
something of the school he is about to
conduct. Valuable hints may be
obtained from parents. former teachrs,
and often from the pupils themselves.
If possible, see OF correspond with he
previous teacher of the school, and b.
tain from him programme of Ger-
cises; learn something of the wa, he
graded the classes, and gather slch
knowledge Of the school as he can gve.
Having found out what kind & a
school you are likely to have and wat
branches will be studied, it will be veil
for you to prepare programme befsre
entering the school. Of course itmay
be necessary to make changes in the
programme, but it is best to haze a
definite plan before you. The lro-
gramme will vary according to the
number and character of the branshes
taught, and somewhat according tothe
number of pupils in the school.
Spend as little time as possible in
registering names and getting ready
for active work. Determine as nearly
as possible the educational standing of
each pupil at the outset, that he nay
be placed at once in the proper cass.
Assign lessons for each class and get
the whole school at work as soon as
possible.
Don't make a mistake by considering
the first day Of your term of but little
Importance. TO you as the teacher
and manager it is of more Importance
than any other day in the term. You
are OH trial during that day, and before
your judges retire on that night the
verdict will be rendered, and to quite
an extent your reputation will be es-
tablished throughout the length and
breadth of your district. Let the hrst
days work, then, be done earnestly,
wisely, and with circumspection. BE
deliberate, but positive, and do not act
as if you expected to change your pol
icy in the future.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

Very recently neighboring COM
munity were terribly startled and
shocked by brutal murder in their
midst. The circumstances of the
tragedy as detailed in the TELEGRAPH
sufficiently answer the question why
Mr.. Hawthorn was murdered He
found Mr.. Pierce up town and the two
drank some together. They drank that
which infames the passions and steals
mems reason. They drank that which
fills our jails with criminals, that which
makes families paupers and causes
three-fourths of the burden of taxa
ton. Let us examine the details of
this tragedy. After they had treated
each other to the intoxicating cup they
return to the mill, and there an alter
cation arises. With infamed passion,
Mr.. Hawthorn strikes Mr.. Pierce and
fells him to the floor; then leaves and
gets into his wagon to drive off. Mr.
Pierce's passions are infamed with the
fiery beverage and his reason is numb
ed; the blow enrages him; brutal pas
sions oyerwhelm him, and he becomes
a very demon. Selling billet of wood,
he strikes his neighbor, his companion
at the cup, brushes his skull with the
blow, and human life goes out. How
terribly stricken are two families, and
how terribly shocked the feelings Of
all to whose ears comes the awful tale
How many mills and farms, if they
had them, would those two families
give if the strong hand of the law had
but prevented the traffic in this hellish
beverage. And the people, with the
power in their own hands, neglect to
use it to protect themselves and their
neighbors from the terrible effects of
the accused traffic IN Intoxicating
drinks. If the people have the right
to restrict the traffic by license, they
have a right to restrict it altogether.
Kansas, on the glorious November I'd,
by an amendment of her organic law,
prohibits its manufacture and sale
within her borders, and has thus in
sured greatly increased progress and
prosperity in all her material interests.
Nothing but good can grow out of
abolishing the traffic. Nothing but
evils, woes, sorrows and taxes come out
of the traffic in Intoxicating drinks.

WASHINGTON, ID. C. Dec. 10th, 1880.
The Democratic donkey has broke
loose in Congress. 1t is strange the
of the campaign taught
the Democrats no useful lesson. They
are now ready to repeat the follies
which have operated so disastrously
against them in the past two years.
Instead of. taking up some one Of the
measures awaiting Con-
gressional action, the Democrats on
the second day of the session called
up the Senate concurrent resolution to
regulate the counting of the electoral
vote, and have so far wasted four days
upon it. This resolution passed the
Senate last session and attracted wide
spread attention, as it was then thought

TAKE YOUR HOME PAPER.

Sometimes the question is asked
why cannot county paper be fur
nished as cheaply as the weekly papers
published in the large cities? The
answer is; because their circulation is
not as large. Let us present a few
figures. The cost of setting the type
and press work for one issue is say $25
the white paper for one thousand
copies cost say $l5. making the total
cost for 1000 copies $40, or 4 cents
per copy. The cost of 5000 additional
copies would be 1886, making the total
cost of 10000 copies SITS, or fraction
less than two cents per copy. There
are metropolitan papers which have a
circulation of $4,000 to 100000 and
upward which can make profit at one
dollar per year, while the county paper
at $500 per year has to draw on its
advertising receipts to cover expenses.
Then again the advertising receipts of
metropolitan weekly afford prince
ly income.
We are very glad these large city
papers can be had so cheaply and
spread so much intelligence and
thought of the world. But the county
paper is of more Importance to the
citizen and concerns more closely his
welfare. 1t brings you every week the
intelligence of your own town and
county. 1t speaks of and advocates
the public enterprises in your midst
that are calculated to promote your
prosperity. 1t warns you of dangers
that menace your peace and the public
morals. 1t is watchful of your inter
ests as taxpayers, and while it COM
mends the faithfulness of your officials
it is watchful and faithful in exposing
corruption, 1t affords a ready means
of communication between citizens on
questions of vital public concern. II
is always ready to promote your edu.
cational interests and affords your
teachers and superintendent a ready
means of communicating with the
public and arousing interest in school
matters.
The county paper is your spokes.
man; it is your banner, your repre-
sentative. 1t cannot be made your
worthy representative without your
support. 1t is part of yourself; it is
virtually yours. The metropolitan
paper pays no attention to your Local
interests; it says nothing, does nothing
to promote them. Every intelligent
person comedies the Importance of sus
tanning first your county paper and the
benefit accruing from it. The county
paper Is sold to you at much less
profit than the metropolitan paper
The proprietors of them, almost with.
out exception, get immensely rich
while the proprietors of county papers
with fewer exceptions keep poor. Nc
one can take county paper. and read
it, without being benefited by more
than its price. 1t presents to you
every week your local market prices
and it is important you should know
them even if you do not sell in them
Sometimes your local market is better
than that abroad. If you are posted
you can take advantage of it, and often
the gain is enough to pay for your
local paper as long as you live.
