Compliment to the New Assistant Ex-

Compliment to the New Assistant Ex-
aminer Gainesville Argus of last week
says "We learn with regret that our worthy fell
low citizen, esteemed friend and village pedigogue
for the past ten twelve years, has been elevated
to the position of Assistant Examiner for the
public schools of Baltimore county. We are truly
sorry to part with him. He is most excellent
school master, thorough in all the branches ap-
pertaining to liberal public school education
He knows just exactly how to read boys and teach
them, and has a natural talent and ability to in
part to the youth all they capable Of receiving
with ease, grace and genialty, qualities not always
found in school teachers. During the past ten
years our school has increased over one hundred
and fifty scholars under his careful and kind man
agement."

The Local Newspaper.-The Philadelphi

The Local Newspaper.--The Philadelphia
Times has the following good words to say for the
local newspaper: "The New Year is good time
to consider the generally overlooked claims of the
local newspaper. 1t is the most useful and the
least compensated and appreciated of all the
agencies which stamp the impress of progress
upon villages and inland cities. Without the local
newspaper local towns are, as rule, thriftless
and tend to decay. 1t is common for small great
men to speak with cortempt of the local newspa-
per. In that they initiate greater men in speak
ing of greater journals which offend by manly
criticism but the village newspaper makes more
great men out of less material-more bricks with
out straw-than any other factor in politics, and
it is the one ladder on which men climb to local
distinction the beginning of wider fame. Local
weeklies have now extended from the country
towns into most of the thrifty villages, and the
advent of the local newspaper has always dated
the increased thrift Of the community. The local
newspaper is the life of its locality and the
sure of its support as a rule, measures the ad
vancement of the people. Begin the new year
by not only subscribing, but paying for your local
newspapers. They are the friends and helpmates
of all seasons"

What Mr.. Cuttings Say

What Mr.. Cuttings Says.-John S. Cuttings.
ESQ.,, of this county, who was a candidate for the
State treasurership before the Democratic caucus
at Annapolis, upon being interviewed upon being
at his bank in the city by newspaper reporter,
said that he was hard at work catching up on the
work that had run behindhand while he was max
ing his fight at Annapolis. at is not the first
time have been beaten, and I can stand it as
we'll as most men. 1 had set my heart the
the place of Treasurer, believing there rep
utation to be gained in that position. But will
be around again two years from now for the place.
There is something to be proud of in the fact that
there were twenty men who stuck to me in a
Gus, knowing my battle was lost. / do not know
the exact cause of the sudden break down
Of those who wanted the caucus postponed, but
there may be considerable truth in the idea thrown
out that the constitution of of the committees
was involved. Now that the caucus has selected
its nominee, the delay in the election can do me
no good. But it will have some effect on the
atorial question. 1 believe Mr.. Lane offered his
order for delay for the simple purpose of prevent
ing haste in the matter"

ne The Massachusetts teachers recently held
a convention at which they came to the conclusion
that natural history should be taught in all the
public schools. One speaker said plenty of time
for teaching the study could be found "by throw
ing overheard some of the deadwood of geograph-
ical unessentials, mathematical conundrums and
nonsensical parsing." When we come to think
over the matter we are compelled to agree with
that fellow, and hope he will soon be heard of in
every school district in the land.
