IAE daughter of Judge Kelley writes
90 the Philadelphia Times that the Prus-
sian volksschulen are overcrowded and
the teachers underpaid. Pepils to the
number eighty to 500 arc placed in charge
of single teacher, often a boy not more
than fifteen or eighteen years of age. The
pay OF the teachers is wretchedly made.
quste, Most of them are forced to seek
outside employment in order to get enough
70 live on. So unattractive is this profes
sion that there is a want of teachers to fill
the schools. In 1869 there were in Prussis
595 teachers and 474 assistant teachers
positions vacant. There were school dis
tricts where there had been no teachers
for generation. 1t is worth while to add
that in the year in question go teachers
and S22 assistants employed in the volks-
schuleD were boys.

ing 3 96 per cent of the amount

shown by him, was chiefly in salaries and
expenses of collect jrs, agents and subor-

History of the Grimes.

The following are the histories of the
crimes for which j. o. Howard, Thomas
Gee and Thomas McSeill were hanged
here to-day: One night last summer the
wife of p. 6: Bla6ktnSu fatmsr li'ing
Oh the east side of Cape Fear river, found
her husband in his barn dead with his
throat cut. j. o. Howard, a shiftless
fellow, had sold to Blackburn piece Of
land, on which the latter still owed a
small balance. On the day Of the homi-
eide Blaekman Went to H3wafd's house,
paid ,the note apd tile Two men went
away together. They were in company
a greater part Of the day at Blackman's s
house. The two made freqnent visits to
the barr. and drank freely IF ,Blaekmaii's S
wine. Later In the evening persons
passing along the. road heard the men
quarreling in the road at bedtime.
Blackmans wife becoming uneasy at
his prolonged absence, went to the Iparn
and found him murdered. Howard was
arrested the next morning. He was con-
victed of murder at the November term
of the Superior Court and sentenced to
be hanged on the 18th of last January.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court, which affirmed tho verdict of the
lower tribunal, and at the May term re-
sentenced Howard.
Thomas Gee, an aged negro with
stunted body and distorted limbs, lived
in a wretched hut here with poor old
white woman. She was found one morn
ing with her head beaten to pieces, ap-
parently with an ak, and circumstantial
evidence pointed to Gee as the murderer.
He was convicted at the same time as
Howard, and the same appeal taken and
resentence made. 1t is a remarkable
fact that this abandoned specimen of hui
manity had two white wives, and that
jealousy was one Of the motives of the
murder.

Every day brings its harvest of killing; some of our citizens are laid low by the c1uel hand of the Apaches, justice de- fed and humanity outraged and trampled beneath the cruel feet of the Apaches.
