Il
EDUCATION FOR THE MERCHANT. -
The necessity of good education is APP
parent to nearly all, as they come to
the age of maturity, and perhaps no
other business man realizes the benefit
of such an education more than the
merchant.
1t is evident that one of the principal
sources of failures, in the mercantile
line is owing to negligence in keeping
correct accounts; and this carelessness
is caused by ignorance of the successful
merchants foundation, 'sBook Keep
ing To be a successful merchant it
is essential that he be adapted to that
line of business. After that, a good
business education is absolutely neces-
sary, thus enabling him to keep his ac-
counts in such manner as to form a
tolerably correct estimate of the condi-
ton of his affairs at any time How
often do we see men from the different
walks IN life engaging in the mercantile
business, lured their BY the success of
Stewart a WORTH or Far
well. or some friend or acquaintance
| that has succeeded in that linei If they
would stop to investigate. they would
find in nearly every case that the
corner stone of their success was a
good business education; and If they
would profit by such investigation, they
would prepare themselves before ven
turing in such business. By their
doing SO, Messrs sBradstrect, 7 or Dunn
& Co.. would have decidedly fewer
financial wrecks to report than they
now have. In view of the whole mat
Ter, how important it is that all, and es-
pecially those who have an idea of eu-
gazing in business, should improve
| their opportunities. when they are
young, and have such great advantages,
and secure to themselves at least, a
good common school education

The people of Boseohel will be sorry
IN losing not only most efficient Post
master. but an esteemed and beloved
citizen as well, in the contemplated re-
moyal of VIM. f. DeLap and his es-
timabic wife and family. Mr.. DeI-sp
has already sent in his resignation as
postmaster, and expects TO depart for
Lacrosse about the last Of this week,
where he will engage in the mercantile
business. Three candidates, Messrs.
nj. McSpaden, j. Mclaughlin and Jno.
Pepper are aspiring to the postmaster
ship in this city. and three petitions are
being industriously circulated, each of
which has already secured many SIGN
ers. All three gentlemen are well and
.ay.orably known in this city and each
would, no doubt, make most efficient
officer.

Madison Democrat:-The acquittal OF
Geo. h. Ward, who was charged with
forgery some few weeks ago. and tried
yesterday for obtaining goods under
false pretenses, after lying some time in
| jail should be a lesson to some news
| papers who FASTENED to condemn and
even convict him as soon as he was
charged. When he was arrested eff
forts were made by some papers to
blacken his name, and prejudice his
case in popular opinion. His complete
acquittal shows that great injustice was
done him at the very time, when, most
OF all, man needs suspension of
harsh judgment. The papers that have
scattered broadcast the story of his ar
rest ought not to give equal publicity
to his complete vindication.

SAFE ARRIVAL. The friends of Mrs.
Alice Carter were glad to hear of a
dispatch received by her from her hus-
band telling Of his safe arrival in this
country. Mr.. Carter went to England
some three months ago to bring back
with him his aged father just before
the time set for starting his father died
quite suddenly, since which Mr.. Carter
has been detained in England on bust
ness matters relating to the estate which
was large one. He was expected
home on the Inflated Alaska and the
family was in great anxiety and sus-
pense until the fate of the vessel was
known and it was found that MIR. Carter
had been detained beyond the time OF
her sailing. All who have friends
crossing "the great water now are
anxiously scanning in the dailles the
steamship arrivals, in view of the re-
cent disastrous storms and accidents al
