One of the Town Wardens remarked tt
rs the other day, as his opinion, that if tf'
personal property of the town was returned
at its proper value the Town goycrnmen
could be easily run on the proceeds OF tai
levy of five cents on the hundred dollars
He believes the publication of the amount
of the personal property returned for taxa
ton by each citizen will increase the aggre'
gate at least fifty or sixty per cent.

The Columbia Register, speaking of the
Department of Agriculture and some of its
operations, has the following item relative
to discovery in this County which has
hitherto remained undcveloped: "Col. A. P.
Butler, Commissioner of Agriculture, has
at his Office specimen of bituninous coal,
found by Captain LaugAlin in Anderson
County. Col. Butler tested piece of it in
his fireplace and found that it would burn.
Capt. Laughlin says that the specimen was
taken by him from vein in Anderson
County, about foot and half thick, into
which he dug about three feet. The COM
missioner is not authorized to take any
steps in regard to such matters, except to
have the specimens aualyzed. This he will
do"
Our Townville correspondent estimates
the number of rabbits killed in the Fork
during the time the recent SHOWS were on
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 as
a clear gain to the County in actual cash OF
$500. Carrying this calculation q little
further, and applying it to all the counties
of the State upon the basis of the moderate
estimate of our correspondent, in the thirty
three counties there were killed 2,112,00O
rabbits, which weighed 4,224,00O pounds,
and worth o the State sol1, 10000, equally
distributed lnong all the counties. Those
who questien the probable correctness OF
these figures are respectfully referred to
Quincy"
The School Commissioner and Board OF
Examiners for This County are determined
to have the public schools properly conduc-
ted, and during the ensuing year will scru-
tinize the general conduct and deportm ent
of teachers more closely than ever before
and by the terms of q resolution adopted at
the meeting of the Board on the 7th 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 im-
morality during the public school term"
The Board has done we'll in giving such di-
rections to the Commissioner, who will bs
sure to carry them out to a letter. The To-
cal trustees of the several school districts
should bring to his attention promptly any
cases of immoral conduct of teachers, and in
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 to 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
| l. 40 fI,o r;o1,f
ton, and one that will be universally ap'
proved. If any mistake was made, it wa:
in limiting the time of good behavior to
the schoo: term.
