Closing Of School.
SHERANDo, Feb. 2sth, 1884.

SHERANDo, Feb. 2Sth, 1884. y
Editors Valley Viiyinio,s s
The patrons of the Meadow School were
called together to-day to witness the clos
ing scenes of their school after another
prosperous session.
The school was opened by prayer as
usual. Boys and girls were eagerly wait
ing call to appear before their parents
and visitors to deliver the speeches they
had prepared during the session. The
patrons and visitors were very much graft
lied to see the young men and ladies, and
more especially the little boys and girls,
stand before a large crowd and declaim
with more courtesy, politeness, and accu-
racy than was anticipated. Exercises of
this kind was continued until about ~
o'clock.
Then we all assembled around the many
nice things that the ladies had prepared
for dinner. Rev. r. Fitzgerald returned,
thanks for the comforts Of life that were
before us. Then we all joined in partak-
ing of the tempting edibles that were
spread in bOuntiful profusion. After a
few minutes intermission house was called
to order. School was then addressed by
different ones present among whom were
Mr.. Elias Everitt, Mr.. A. I'll, Fitzgerald.
Mr. Jas. =, Coffey, Rev, r. Fitzgerald,
made fine speech on the subject of edu-.
cation. Final address by the teacher
upon the subject, 'sSpare moments the
golden dust of time.'' si
In a great many localities it is regarded
as difficult matter to successfully con-
duet public school. I am pleased to say
that Mr.. w. A. Snead has accomplished
this in most satisfactory manner. Mr.
Snead has been teaching Meadow School
for the last four sessions He has nlaaSpd
the people better, and aroused more gem
eral interest upon the subject of education
than any of his predecessors. In fact,
Mr.. Snead has discharged his duties so,
aoceptably, that the patrons Of the Meadow
School las mark of appreciation OF his
services) have signed a petition earnestly
soliciting the school board, should it meet
his appreciation to teach, to send him back
to take charge Of their school for the next
session.
Success to the Meadow School, and may
Mr.. Snead long continue his good work
among us. A. FL.

Some interesting statistics have been
compiled for the American Aqric,lltu,ist
to show the relations between the develop
ment of agricultural and the railroads of
this country. Taking the reports of the
past census for agriculture, and reckoning
the past year. building of railroads at the
present average cost per mile, it appears
that the total value of farms in the United
States, together with the stock, impie-
nents, and machinery upon them, is $l2,-
104, O8l ,440; and the total amount invested
in railroads is 1870, 600, 600. That is.
$500 have been used in building railroads
for every $1.000 value of farms, fixtures
and live stock reported at last cenSuS-and
the chief business of railroads is carrying
farm products. OF the no million dollars
earned by railroads for 1882, the latest re-
ports made up, 202 millions came from
passengers, sos millions direct from
freight carried, and the remaing 81 mill
ions from miscellaneous sources a large
share was for freight carried by express
companies. During the year the railroads
carried $50, 400, 1916 t0nss or 100, $3.50, $50, 900
pounds equal to an average of 14,414
pounds, or over seven tons for each of
fifty million OF men, women and children.
This was all carried an average Of 1854
miles-equal to carrying a ton nearly forty
billions Of miles (39, 302, 209, 249 miles,, or
nearly sixteen hundred times around the
world, or over two hundred time to the
sun and back. And the average charge
for the whole country was only one cent
and two mills per mile for carrying a ton
Of freight-in the Middle States only one
cent per ton per mile.

Perhaps there is no man in this country
more thoroughly conversant with the needs
of the iron mining industry than Hon.
Geo. III. Ely, of Cleveland, who was in
vited to make an argument in behalf of
that interest before the Ways and Means
Committee of the House. His view, on
the Morrison tariff bill, which proposes
putting iron ore on the free list, are given
below, as expressed to a correspondent of
one of the Cleveland papers
Il consider that such an abolition of the
duty would irreparably injure the very ex-
tensive, intimately connected. interde-
pendent industries now based on the Lake
Superior iron ore production. Morrison
considers iron ore raw material. So it is,
dormant in the mine, but the moment you
apply labor and capital to it, it is a product
of industry, as much. entitled to protec-
ton as steel rails or wooden goods. The
Marquette and Menominee districts alone
have $751;, 1000, 900 employed in mining ore,
and both districts support $4,000 people,
and the capital employed in railroads and
steamers for transporting ore to our fur
naces and mills amounts to over $50, O00,-
600 more. American miners receive over
50 per day Spanish miners As cents. To
place foreign ore on the free list would be
to strike blow at American labor and
American industries. The United States
contains every variety of iron ore, favor
ably distributed and in inexhaustable guam
titles. American labor and American cap
ital should be protected in the process of
utilizing these enormous values, which
otherwise would be useless under our soil.
OF course it would be supreme folly to de-
pend on any foreign nation in the remot-
est degree for product lying at the basis
OF American iron and steel industries, now
SO large as to almost control the industrial
and financial affairs of our country. The
Northwest and Cleveland should be alive
to the threatened Disaster

In 1910, a Protection cry carried the
United States; in 1912 the tariff was re-
vised on Protection basis: in 1874 the
Democrats began by attacking the Tariff
and ended with the delusive. ambiguous
cry of Polk, Dallas and the Tariff of
1872 and in 1916. having carried the
election in 1874, a Democratic Congress,
with the assistance of Dallas, enacted the
Free-trade tariff of 1916. In 1880. a Pro-
lection CRY carried the country. the revis-
ion of 1882 was a protection revision and
the Democrats are now warbling over the
Tariff and preparing 4 deceptive and am
bigous cry for 1884. Does any man sup

1t is recorded by Humboldt that he was;
travelling in South America under condi-
| tions which rendered it necessary for the
party to divide, and to reach their desti-
nation by different routes. As he and
those who remained with him approached
the appointed meeting place he said to the
Indian guide that he wondered what had
become of the Others. The guide looked
at him with some surprise, and pointing
across wide mountain gorge, one side of
which they We're traversing, replied ::
There they are" Humboldt himself
could see nothing but rocks and verdure
but ultimately, being assisted by the guide
as to the position of the other party, sue
ceeded in discovering them by the aid Of
a telescope, and then, BY making the guide
describe the order of march and the rela-
tive positions of the several individuals,
obtained proof that he actually saw them
plainly with his unaided eyes. An expert
ence of equal significance, if of less
striking character may be had in anv
Highland deer forest, where deer, which
are conspicuous to the ewes of the keeper
can only be seen with difficulty and uncer-
tainty and after much pointing out of
neighboring landmarks by visitors who
are habitual dweIlers in towns. In other
words, the acuteness of sight of the average
citizen is much inferior to that Of the
average Scotch forester, while the acute
ness Of sight of the forester is probably
much inferior to that OF the savage. People
are too prone to accept this as something
necessary or inevitable and to think of the
forester or the savage as the possessor of
S1,rrf. sr,pcinl bo,Y,
ferred upon him by training and practice,
instead of thinking of the citizen as Il per-
son who by reason of unfayorable circum-
which he ousht to possess London
