NORMAL CLASSES.

During the past month l have held two
Normal Classes-one in each building. The
evident interest OF the teachers IN the de-
veIopment OF practical methods of work
those a least which have some psychologist
al adaptation-was most gratifying. But
one teacher, P. B. Northington, was absent
detained through sickness.
STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
By permission of the Board, 1 attended
two days at the session Of the State Associa-
ton, held at Paris, Tenn, the first week of
the past month. But few OF the schools of
the state were repYesented-East and West
Tennessee had no teachers present. An &C.
count Of the doings will appear in the South
West Journal OF Education. Our State Su-
perintendent, Capt. Thos. 81. Paine, has
promised me that he will favor us with an
address on the Educational work of Teunes-
see sometime during the coming winter.
NEEDS.
must call the attention OF the Board to
the great need which is felt every day, of
an instrument for moving the large classes
of the primary department in an orderly
manner. without an organ these move
ments are an isciimniate clatter. and
the one now on that floor Is not only entire
ly useless, but also beyond repair save at a
price which would equal the value of an
organ with a single set of vibrstors. A
stove ID needed for the first room to the left
on the third floor. Five Rotations are dali
ly heard in It. When cold weather comes
serious consequences may result from in
sufficient heating of the room.
Something should also he done to provide
q way for warming the superintendent
office. 1t Ia even now unsafe to sit there
long to do necessary writing, sending mott
ces. answering letters or making mp reports

There Was reward of 500, by tke
state, and $500 by the citizens Of
trenchman Bayou for Gleason's cap
ture.
Hon. w. II. Cafe, of Jonesboro,
received the appointment of Circuit
Judge to fll the vacancy caused by
the death of Judge Frserson. We
take the following notice Of Judge
Gates appointment from the Jones'
boro Democrat:
"Thc bar of Jonesboro have unan-
imously petitioned the Governor to
appoint the Hon, w. II. Cate to
this important position and petitions
in his favor are being circulated in
the adjoining counties. This move
mel.t is wholly voluntary and is
made without the knowledge Of the
gentleman in question, who is now
presiding as special Judge at uaiiis-
vile.
Col. Cate is one Of the most brilli-
ant and successful lawyers in the
state. He possesses fine judicial
mind, Is capable ofgrasping and dis
secting the most abstruse and intri-
cate legal questions and would make
a Judge that the district would be
proud of. He has frequently served
as special Judge and his rulings have
always given the most eminent sat
isfactIon. Governor Berry could not
make n better appointment in the
district. A strong petition will go
up for Cate, and his friends are quite
confident that he will be the appoint
tee.

In Tennessee, lately the Supreme
Court held that juror who had read
a full account of murder, formed
an opinion from what he had read,
was a competent juror to try the
party accused of the murder. This
decision will be very generally ap-
plauded by all who have the good of
society at heart. The Supreme
Court of Indiana has also decided
that the reading of an account of a
case in newspaper is not good
reason for excludinga man from the
jury. The courts are evidently on
the right track now. If they con-
tinue this liberal course, hangings
will not be so infrequent.-[Savan-

CLOSING PRICES OF PHILA DELPHI STOCKS
RsoortsIby J0GS Il. DAVIS < CD. II W1,-'t
MONDAY, May 19-P. NJ.


The stock market to-day wascOmpaTatiyely quiet
and the sales amounted only to 377,779 shares.
But there was a marked absence of the buOyant
tone that characterized Saturdays final transac-
lions. Prices opened lower instead of higher,
and with small fluctuations there was a
steady shrnkage in values till within a half hour
Of the closing. In the last thirty minutes of bust
ness there was an important rally in prices that
seemed 10 be entirely due to the taking of profits
by room operators who were early sellers Of what
they did not possess. The early quotations from
London were not responsive to our Saturdays last
figures, and dispeled the illusion of any
large European buying of stocks here for
export The air also was heavy with
m indefinite feeling of something i'm
pending. All that did occur at the Stock tx
change was the announcement Of Messrs w. B.
Scott & Co.'s failure the firm had few or no open
contracts at the Exchange and for that reason the
failure was regarded as Of little Importance.
We understand, however, that the embaTassments
of the firm involve large interests
and are of complicated nature few
