personal property OF the town was returned
at its proper value the town government

The Columbia Register, speaking of the
Department Of Agriculture and some Of its
operations, has the following item relative
to q discovery in this County which has
hitherto remained undcveloped: "Col. A. p.
Butler, Commissioner of Agriculture. has
at his office specimen of bituniinous coal,
found by Captain Laughlin in Anderson
County. Col Butler tested piece Of it in
his fireplace and found that it would burn.
Capt. Laushin says that the specimen vas

Our Townvillc correspondent estimates
the number of rabbits killed in the Fork
during the time the recent SHOWS were OH
the ground at two thousand. Allowing the
same number for each of the other fifteen
townships in the County, there were thirty
two thousand of these savory little animals
slain in this County, each Of which we pre-
sumo netned at least two pounds of meat.
This would amount to the nice little sum of
sixty-four thousand pounds, and allowing
FIVE cents pound for the flesh, We have az
clear gain to the County in actual cash of
| $500. Carrying this calculation little
further, and applying it to all the counties
| of the State upon the basis of the moderate
estimate Of our correspondent, i'll the thirty.

rabbits, which weighed 4.224 900 pounds,
| and worth to the State s2ll ,20O.00 equally
distributed among all the counties. Those
who question the probable correctness of

The School Commissioner aud Board of
Examiners for this County are determined
to have the public schools properly conduc-
ted, and during the ensuing year will scru-
| tinize tho general conduct and dcportm ent
of teachers more closely than ever before
and by the terms of q resolution adopted at
| the meeting of the Board OH the 9TH inst,
the Commissioner is authorized and direc-
| ted instantly to revoke the certificate of any
teacher who shall be found to be guilty of
profanity, drunkenness or other gross inn
morality during the public school term"
The Board has done well in giving such di-
rections to the Commissioner, who will be
sure to carry them out to letter. The To-
cal trustees Of the several school districts
should bring to his attention promptly any
cases of immoral conduct Of teachers, and III
this they would certainly be sustained by
the patrons of the schools. No one should
be allowed to remain in charge of public
school who is known to beguilty of immor-
al practices of any kind. 1t is just as i'm
portant tc teach children good morals and
good manners as it is reading and writing
and this cannot be done unless the teacher
Is thoroughly moral in every respect. The
Board has made O step in the right direc-
ton, and one that will be universally ap.
proved. If any mistake was made, it was
i'll limiting the time of good behavior to
the school term.
