EnUcATIGa III MISSISSIPPI.

Professor Iayes, of the State
University, is spending some
days IN Jackson. The object of
his visit is the further collection
of material for the History Of
Education IN Mississippi, which
he is compiling at the request
of the Bu:eau of Education at
Washington This Bureau has
undertaken the preparation and
publication Of a series of histo
ries on that subject. one for
each State IN the Union. and
Prof Mayes consented to do
the work for Mississippi.
II IS labor of great difficulty.
No records have been kept: the
schools were, Of course, sea.
tered over the whole State:
most of them were ola shcrt du-
ration; and of many that were in
their time praise worthy iHstitu.
tions, even their memories have
almost persisted.
1he Professor. two months
ago, sent out TO the various
schools in the State near two
hundred circulars, asking form
formation IN regard to their
present status; including faeul-
ties, currieuiums. Attendance
properties and equipments: but
only about twenty have re-
sp0nded as vet. We think il
the teachers of the State Under
stood what he "a doing they
would be more prompt ami full
IN their response. There has
been much money and great la
Dor expended in this State on
the work OF education, of which
we are jus. beginning to gather
the frGits. Many sacrafices have
been offered. and are daily of
fering. in that noble cause. Let
not their memories perish.
Prof. Sayes says there Is vet
time to give bin much valuable
aid; that any information of a
reliable character in reference
to schools. Old or new. and
whether that information be dis
joinTed or no, be can nse il. OH
catalogues, old addresses: old
newspaper notices, old reports
or trustees--aBy similar data
can easily be classified and ar.
ranged by him and put to good
service He has found many of
the most valuable documents
obtained by him in the hands
of ladies,
The Professor is doing this
work gratuitously. The com

Wooden Wed0InQ.


The editor being absent on a trip
to the western part of the state, his
substitute takes the liberty to give an
account of this event.
On Monday evening last, being the
fifth anniversary of the wedding of Mr.
and Mrs. H. l.. Snyder, a large number
of friends gathered at their residence to
extend their congratulations to the
young couple. The parlors were ex-
quisitely decorated with flowers and
ported plants, and when they were
filled with the bright costumes Of
those present, made scene of more
than usual attractiveness. After con-
graduating the host and hostess, the
guests enjoyed the society of friends;
made new and renewed acquaintan-
ces, and thus spent an exceedingly
pleasant evening. Later in the even
ing all were invited into the dining
room, where, upon tastefully trimmed
tables were to be found all kinds of
refreshments. The bride and groom
were the recipients of so large NUM-
Der of useful and valuable remem-
brances in wooden ware that it would
be folly to endeaver to enumerate.
Among those present were friends
from Philadelphia, Washington, Bal
timore, Sharpsburg and Charlestown,
and from all parts of this and adjoin-
ing counties, all of whom left hoping
to be present at the goldenwedding of
Mr.. and Mrs. Snyder.
