THE FOURTH AT WELLINGTON.
Little Girl Killed and taan Badly wounde,

Little Girl Killed and taan Badly Wounded
The Fourth was dshered in by the boys
firing anvils. The morning dawned before
they spent their powder. The wind rose
with the sun, and throughout the day fed
the populace with dust. Early the people
began to come from all points OF the COM
pass. Ere noon, the grove and its ap-
proaches WAS ismmed fun Of dusy patriots.
T. b. Wall, J. l.. Order, Col. J. w.Forney
and Col. A. c. ST. Clair addressed all who
could hear, and those who were so fortu-
nate reaoT. having been highly entertain
ed. Large numbers crowded toward the
platform dance where the ''rag tag and bob
tail'' OF both sexes kept time to few poor
ly played fiddles. Thin ice cream and weak
lemonade sold readily. The assembly wax
ed warm and weary.
In the afternoon about two thousand OF
the throng gathered near the old school
house and enjoyed the sports. At the same
time, on the veranda of the De Barnard
hotel, was enacted much sadder drama.
While in crazy drunken condition, Ed.
Minor shot a revolver and the ball entered
the heart Of nine-year-old daughter OF J.
ii. Perry, of Gueda Springs. DEATH came
so sudden and unexpectedly that
her mother thought she had tainted. BE.
fore the truth was known the guilty man
had passed on, firing promiscuously as he
went, and not until late at night was he
spprehenied in the Morgan bawdy house,
where he had halted after the days de.
bauch.
The little son OF VIM. Taylor, living near
Perth. fell from a tree and was carried
home badly hurt.
A barber at the DeBarnard hotel dropped
a revolver. aud as it struck the stone walk
It fired a ball through his leg.
Several smaller accidents, of little inter-
est to..your readers, closed the days doiugs
here.
The immense fireworks at night hardly
satisfied the crowd, who doubtless differ
from the purchasing committee in what
consists of good display.
Altogether the Fourth in this city was
big, and productive of mucn that tended
to the bad. our glorions natal day has
been debased into kind of annual festival
Of deoauchery--a day when the law-abid-
ing part Of the community assemble and let
the whisky vendors, pickpoeket like, sneak
in and skim the cream. aud ween this same
gang are protected in their internal traffic

Local Supervision.

State Superintendent b. NJ. Baker,
in his address explanatory of the new
school law, at San Antonio, before the
State Teachers Association, assembled
there June 1867 and &, 1884, Of whom
there were between two and three
hundred in convention, used the fol-
lowing language;
The greatest neod not provided
for Ia local supervision say with
out hesitation, that the efficiency of
our public schools can be increased so
per cent. by intelligent local super
vision alone, and that without such
supervision the system cannot attain
ultimate success. The experiments of
other States demonstrates this the
fine character of all our own city
schools proves it, and u eursory look
into private Institutions of learning
will attest the correctness OF the pro
position. We find one enjoying hue
success, another decaying and dying
each being Independent, depends for
success entirely upon tho character OF
the teacher.
BY reference to the files of the Texas
Journal of Education, any interested
in such matters will find that the wri.
ter, from the beginning of it's estab-
lishment, urged through its columns,

School closed yesterday, taught by
Prof. Wallace, assisted the last three
weeks by his efficient better half, who,
1t is safe to say, has no superior as
teacher, especially of calisthenics and
singing. There was general turn
out from all over the country, and all
were delighted with the exercises,
which consisted of examinations in
Reading, Writing Arithmetic, Geog
raphy, Map Drawing, Speaking and
Compositions by tho young people, in
which they acquitted themselves we'll,
and for which they were loudly ap-
plauded.
A part Of the afternoon was devoted
to hearing Apeeehes from some OF our
we'll known citizens, Mir. Dougheriy
and w. II. King, on the Importance Of
education, aud the necessity Of NOV

second of April last, and also present
at the closing exercises July 18th, we
are convinced they are educators of
