ton Monday evening and left for home
Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Dibrell looks very much i'm
proved by her stay in Washington,

eral shows that he enjoyed the session,

in doing all he can for the country gen.

lar. He has, this session, as usual,
made q faithful and and successful re-
cord, having succeeded in having passed
every local measure to which he put
his hand.
The appropriation of 1857, 900 to the
Improvement Of Tennessee river at the
Muscle Shoals, $4,000 to the Caney
Fork and 81 500 to the Hiwassee, is
mainly due to his untiring efforts in
that behalf. Out Of 200 war claims
for Tennessee, 70 were allowed through
his efforts, and among these the Gil
bert claim Of $4,000 due parties in
Warren aud Van Buren, counties.

Emma White Murdered.

Ananias of old met sudden death
for withholding part of the price of
his land and lying TO conceal it.
Last week colored man named
Ananias White, in the city of Nash
vile, gave out that his wife had disap.
pesed aud he knew not how nor
whittier. But Ananias was arrested
on suspicion Of numbering his wife, and
on trial before the magistrate he was
acquitted. But before he had been re-
leased one hour, he was rearrested by
warrant on a true bill found by the
grand jury charging him with the muir
der Of his wife, Emma. He prevailed
on the officer to accompany him to get
some bedclothes to take with him to Jail
and while on the way he made his es-
cape, crossed the river below Nashville,
and was pursued by about sixty colored
men, three of whom, in crossing in a
canoe, were upset by high waves, and
one was drowned. Ananias made good
his escape, but was arrested that night
by man, ten miles out on the Grany
White pike, who had heard of his es.
cape that day, and was lodged in Jail
The whereabouts of Emma White, il
living, or the place of concealment Of
the body. if dead, remained profound
mystery till Sunday, when the dead
body was found near the river in NORTH
Nashville buried two and one-half fee
deep. The verdict of the Coroner
jury recites that Emma White came tt
her death by violence at the hands o
her husband. Fears were entertaine,
that the excited cnlored population
would mob White, but so far no al
tempt has been made. o.

THE CONTEST SETTLED.
Review OF Books.

II has been long and bitter contest
among teachers and authors as to
whether arithmetic can be taught bet
ter by oral or written exercises. The
advocates of both these methods have
been Jealous and abundantly soccessful
in presenting reasons in support of
their peculiar views, but their mistake
has been in separating the two methods
and endeavoring to establish one as the
method independently of the other.
This mistake has been pointed out
and the remedy offered in the propara-
ton Of the New American Arithmetics,
a series consisting of only two books in
stead of three or four as is common in
other series. The method, as already
indicated, is a combination Of the Oral
and Written Exercises on alternate
pages throughout the books, first the
oral, then the written. The Primary
work is devoted to the first principles
of arithmetic in simple and practical
manner the second book wisely COM
bines what in other series is separated
into two books, usually denominated
Mental and Practical Arithmetic, as il
there were middle wall of partition
between the two which neither can
scale. This book teaches that all arith.
metic is practical, and hence its name
is Practical Arithmetic" On the
one page it presents oral exercises
to be learned and practieed; on
the other it presents written exercises
to be learned and practiced.
An expert teacher can get along
with any arithmetic published, but the
question is, what is best for the pupil
We answer, that arithmetic is best
which, in one book, and on pages fac
ing each other, presents the student
with the only methods of acquiring {
knowledge of the science. We do no
say that the New American Practica
Arithmetic is the only one that doe
this, but it is the only one that we hav,
crossed in an experience of twenty ode
years that does.
If the oral is one method, and tn,
written another, and both applied t.
the same subject, they certainly vii
help each other to illucidate that sub
ject, or else they do not tend to tn
same end which is knowledge of tina
subject. If these methods are help
to each other, they should be so ar
ranged and so presented as to mutual,
assist each other. This object has bee'
successfully accomplished by the serie
now under review.
Combining these two methods, whic'
have heretofore been unwisely and III
} naturally separated, this series adopt
analysis as the plan of solving all ez
t amples, and makes this announcement
every example in arithmetic can b
performed by analysis"
There are many excellent text book
now published on the subject of aritl
metic, but for method, arrangement
consciseness of its treatment, and con
prehensiveness of subjects, We are col
strained to give preference to the Ne
American series of arithmetics as be
adapted to common schools, academi,
and colleges for instruction in practic'
arithmetic. For farther advance
. classes, and for test work, another booI
known as Graded Problems in Art
+ metic and Mensuration, has been a
g ded to the series, which is also an a
mirable work for that purpose.
These books can be had at DR.. ].
