FROM ELDORADO.

The writer having an opportunity of at
tending the very instructive "Teacher's As
ISOLATION" held at Lewisburg, on Saturday
last, ~renorts as follows:
The forenoon exercises consisted of a gen.
eral discussion of the subject-"The present
needs of our Public Schools" which was very
interesting. Those from a distance were
sumptuously entertained by the the good peo-
pie of the town and vicinity.
At half past one O'Clock the meeting con-
vened and was opened by a paper on "EarIy
American Literature" by Mr.. Shearer. Mu-
sic, followed by an exercise on the "War of the
States" by Mr.. Vaughn, of West Alexandria.
This exercise was presented in such a manner
that it brought forth quite a spirited discus
sion. Music. After which the closing exer-
else was by Examiner Alley, of New Paris, on
the subject, "Moral Training in our Schools ,
and was presented in the form of a paper
Which was filled with many practical thoughts.
Music. The meeting adjourned and the au-
dience dispersed much improved.
The "Hamburg Literary" has changed its
regular time of meeting from Friday evening
to Saturday evening. Each meeting is grow
ing more and more in interest.
The spring election will soon be on hands. ]
trust that old Monroe will put in office an ex-
cellent corps of teachers to transact the bust
ness of the Township. Men wha.will be as ju-
dicious in the expenditures of the public means
as their own. Let the Democrats all turn oui
TO the election. LEoNA.

The foltouine GOOD advice from Che

The following good advice from the
Shelby County Democrat will apply to
the people of PEBBLE county: There are
indications that with the arrival OF spring
a greater number than usual OF Shelby
county people will move to new homes
some going South, others West. 1t is not
commended that for every purpose Shelby
county it is the best to live in it. 1t does,
however, hold its own in the general aver
age. The attractions set forth in the
gorgeous posters relating to homes else
where very frequently in more respects
than one, have no existence, and are put
out to catch the traveller. Too often has
it been demonstrated that the alleged
superior condition over Shelby county
are vastly below the general comforts
and convenience here. Before n moves
to Florida with the expectation of rising
to opulence, he should think more than
twice. There is a delusion connected
with orange growing, and a company OF
swindlers have profted by it. Kansas is
q SICdG OtdtC, OuI CilCAC niO PoAeo
fit for a Buckeye to live in. AS a State
for fires, grasshoppers, tornadoes and
billiards., it is one of the first. Dakota
will attract many. It is a great Terri
tory and will be a great State some day.
There is a chance there for enormous
crops of wheat, butt ii a farmer ever at the
mercy of railway corporation it is the
farmer of Dakota. Whatever is a WON
derful advantage in a State, there is GER
tain to be, also, a wonderful disadvant-
age. One expecting to emigrate should
make a careful study of the situation, for
be his surroundings in Ohio ever so n
desirable, he can make them much worse
in almost any State without a great eff
fort.

DEATHS.

SLAMMON-In Eaton. on Tuesday evening,
March 23d, 1886, Margaret, wife of Patrick
Shannon, in the 55th year of her age.
Faded and gone is our mother,
Many a tear have we shed;
Dark is the home that was once SO bright,
For our dear mother is dead.
We loved our precious mother;
We loved her far too well,
And the grief we feel at parting
No mortal tongue can tell.
Darling mother, how we miss you;
2,e Your sweet face we see no more;
How we long once more to kiss you,
But you have flown forever more.
How you struggled to stay with us,
But death conquered you at last,
And we hope that we will meet you
In that heavenly home of rest.

Every mistress of a household should
cultivate grapes. Of the heathful fruit
and the graceful vine of California
grapes, Joaquin Miller writes:
Cuttings are now planted about as
wide apart aS-one in each hill-as corn
in the great corn fields of the west, And
it is at once cut down almost to the
ground. AS | said before, you mnst
abandon all your oldpicture ideas found
ed on Bible tales or traditions from pro-
fame history. For the grape in Califor-
MIA is permitted to be only a stump.
Every yearit is shorn down almost to
the ground. Out yonder in the almost
shoreless sea of green grapeyines you
can find Stumps of grape tress almost as
thick as your body. But the vines are
only of this years growth, A we'll
trimmed vineyard in California, after
the last crop is gathered, looks exactly
like field OF stumps in clearing.
Not much romance or beauty about
that But there is plenty Of money and
this is the way that pays best, and poetry
must yield to utility.
How much will one acre yield Well?,
in Napa valley they show you a field
that yields fourteen tons OF grapes to
the acre. But this is an extraordinary
yield. From eight to ten tons is the
average crop. These grapes are sold
by the ton. They are sometimes sold as
they stand; sometimes they are sold on
delivery at some wine press. They
bring from $40 to $50 per ton, according
to the yield as a rule.
The prettieSt and cleanest emplov-
ment ever saw is that of gathering
grapes. But it is hard on the back.
andln the end is not easy work. Of
course the ugly stumps are entirely hid
den by the vines long before harvest
time Indeed, the thousand vines and
tendrllS and blossoms that branch out
from the little black stump in the earli-
est days OF spring have long before har-
vest time completely covered every inch
OF ground with vines and leaves and ten
drllS that reach almost to your waist.
And the stump is almost one solid mass
OF luscious grapes. They are all there
c,iEngng to the stump, not scattered
ABOUT over the ground on the long vines
mat are to be shorn away. But you be-
gin to feel down in the dense mass Of
leaves and tendrils for your stump, and
at every stump you find little CARLOAD
OF grapes.
