Wheat we hauled for other parties paid
us Zoe per ton, or about $1,000 per

The low price of grain does not
seem to effect the value of land.
Stock, however, which Las been very

Hogs, in sympathy with beef, bring a
good price. Beef cattle have steadily
advanced in price for the last two years.
Beef is the principal meat used here,

Flour was steady, with good ship

will now give you the exact lan>
guage of two paragraphs found in one of
our reading books used in some of our
schools.
''Take wax taper about an inch
long and place it upright in the middle
of saucer; and then, after lighting it,
cover it over with clean glass tum-
bier and wait the result. You will see
thaethe taper will, in a minute Or two,
burn very dull, flicker, and then go
quite out. Lift the saucer with the
tumbler on it from the table, aud then,
without allowing any air to get into
the tumbler, reverse it so that the sau~
Ger will be on the top. Now place the
tumbler on the table, and take another
piece of taper, fix it on the end of a
crooked wire, Then light the wick,
and lifting aside of the saucer thrust
in the taper and it will go out"
In several schools that / have taught
Il
have furnished the little boys and
girls with the saucer, the taper, or two
pieces of star candle, the glass tum
bier and the bent wire, and with every
thing necessary to perform the experi>
ment; and have never found single
little boy, and but one little girl who
could take the articles furnished and
perform the experiment. This is be.
cause they do not "think." They read
the book without thinking about the
meaning of the language.
One of the great reasons why our
Sabbath>schools do not flourish, and
why they are so undressing to so
many little boys and girls is, because
these same little boys and girls do not
"think." Little children, if you would
study your Sabbath>school lesson with
care, get all the subjects we'll arranged,
and carefully fixed in your mind, you
would become deeply interested and
scarcely any kind of weather or roads
would keep you away from Sabbath
school.
| have written this article to "set
you to thinking" Next week l will
publish in this paper an Arithmetical
example; and the boy or girl in any
school in Warren county that will give
me the most lucid analytical solution Of
it, shall have his or her solution and
name published in the STANDARD. Nc
solution that does not give a correct
answer, or that is not strictly analyti,

To The Standard.
Having been a teacher for a long
time, and having lately visited several
of our schools, | find there is too much
inclination on the part Of pupils to
make the teacher do all the thinking.
Many pupils seem to think that they
only have to learn what is taught them,
and they only must sit on their seats
and "drink in" their teachers thoughts.
AS pupils, you should learn that edu>
cation means drawing out" and not
drinking in" The lawyer who has
an important case thinks closely how
he may gain his case. The physician
who is called to see very sick patient
thinks in order that he may administer
the proper remedies. Our farmers
think how they may cultivate their
land in order to raise the best crops.
Our mechanics think how they may
make the best wagons, plows, etc., in
order that their wares may be saleable;
so yOu must think if you expect to i'm,
prove the talents with which you are
endowed.
Let me give you few items con,
corning which you may think.
1t is generally supposed that our
first frost in Tennessee comes 100 days
after the first katydids are heard. The
first katydids were heard this year on
the night Of the fourteenth of July
now count 100 days from July 14th,
and see when we shall have our first
frost. If there is any truth in thi;
theory, our first frost will come on the
22d of October.

and lost most of it. When the news
reached the depositors there was a
frightful excitement in Newark. The
New York World describes the scene !:
"Weeping women, wringing their hands
and gesticulating wildly, besieged the
doors Of the defunct Newark savings in
stitution all day yesterday from dawn until
night, and the widest excitement prevailed.

It's all in the world 1 have. My husband
is sick and we have five children at home
crying for something to eat. Our landlord
has threatened to put us out. and came to
draw enough money to pay him and buy
i0od.''
Such stories and such scenes were too
common. Sometimes over one hundred
tear-stained faces were seen, but tears were
nothing. Some strong working men were
there, and they sat or stood about in si-
lence, their faces stamped in despair. and
others shouted and cursed and were for
storming the building and dragging the
robbers out into the street and giving them
to the crowd.
Late in the day many Of the crowd were
induced to SO home, but rs they turned
away they wept, for they had been told
that at the best they would lose half their
hard savings for years.
