COLERAN TEACHERS.

The Colerain Township Teachers As
sociation met at Colerain, Saturday,
March 1st. At o'clock, the time for
the opening of the session, a large crowd,
consisting of patrons of the school and
friends of education throughout the
township had assembled, thus evincing
the salutary effect of the Association in
arousing the people in general to a con-
sideration of their home educational af-
fairs.
After few preliminary performances
tue audience was entertained by Mr.. j.
&. Taggart upon the subject of Fractions.
Although this Is subject which would
be considered very dry one with which
to entertain mixed audience, as this was,
yet Mr.. Taggart presented it in such a
way as to rob it of its prosiness without
detracting from thoroughness. He GER
tainly accomplished his purpose, !. e. "to
set the teachers to thinking upon certain
points which he made prominent during
his discourse"
He was followed by Mr.. E. W. Dun
gan with carefully prepared paper upon
"The use of McGuffey's Speller in the
country schools" Although he confess
ed that he had not dispensed with it al
together in his school, yet the tenor of
his paper seemed to say that he believed
in few years its only use would be to
lie upon the shelf as a relic of bygone
days"
This was followed by an unique paper
in the hands of Miss Emma Fletcher.
She and her paper were profusely COM
-plimented by the people of Colerain.
After delightful session of several
hours the Association adjourned to meet
at Barton, at 1 o'clock on Saturday,
March 30.

Mrs. JAMES c. HAMILTON, of Bell

apparently successfully performed, but
owing to the malignant character of the
affection she died about two days after
ward, and her remains were brought back

AN exchange has the following: A
young lady while entertaining young
gentleman asked him if he could trans
pose the letters in enough so as to frame
two words that meant not enough. He
took a pencil and paper and struggled
over the problem for some time, when
suddenly his face was illuminated with a
look of holy joy. Tie characters stood
out before him in this form: zone hug"
1t is needless to say that energetic, sue
cessive constructions proved his ability
to read moral, and that he is regular
evening caller.

I THE troubles in the NJ. E. Church and
Sabbath-school at Centreville, were aired
in the Common Pleas Court on Tuesday
in the trial of James Weekley and Wilson
McCloud, charged by Mary Jackson with
assault and battery, in that she was for
cibly and violently elected from church
during session of the school. The jury
found Weekley guilty and acquitted Nc
Cloud, and now it is said the prosecuting
witness will bring civil suit against the
parties for damages. The trouble out of
which the prosecution grew has worked
material injury to the congregation at
Centerville, which might have been aver
ted had wise measures been adopted in
time by those having charge of the spir-
itual affairs of the church.
BENEDICT NEIMAN, German employ
ed at Belmont Mill, in Wheeling, was
ground into shapeless mass by a Balti-
more and Ohio yard engine, while he was
passing through the yards in that place
on Tuesday morning. Pieces of flesh
and bones were scattered along the track
for distance of hundred yards, and
the only means of identifying him was
by pieces of clothing. The scene of the
accident presented very sickening sight.

Town and County.

OK Wednesday night of last week
while the family of Samuel Jackson, the
well known colored janitor at the Court
House, were absent from home some per-
son entered the house and stole S43.5O
from a drawer where it was concealed.
The thieves also took couple of toy
banks belonging to the children which
contained small sums of money. From
the manner of the work, itindicated that
the perpetrator had some knowledge Of
the whereabouts of the money and want
ed money alone as other valuable property
was left untouched. The loss falls heavily
on Mr.. Jackson at this time.

MANY SINS TO BE PARDoNED.

Catholics Who Ate Meat Yesterday
Reprimanded by the Clergy.
The feast of the assumption Of the Virgin
Mary was celebrated with special services
in all Of the Catholic churches in the city
Yesterday. Services we're held at the Ca
thedral at $50, $50 and 10 o'clock in the
morning. There were two services each at
St Patrick's and at the Sacred Heart
church.
Bishop Becker preached a powerful ser
mon at high mass at the cathedral upon the
observance of the day. The bishop took
occasion to severely reprimand all the men,
bers Of the church who had partaken of
meat on the mistaken idea that there had
been dispensation from the pope He told
them that they were to receive their
religious ordinances from the clergy and not
from the press He said he had received no
official notice Of the letter of dispensation,
and consequently could not dispense with
the fast
Many members, believing that the dis
pensation had been granted, exercised the
unusual privilege of eating meat on Friday
yesterday morning, and were considerably
taken aback when they discovered that
they had transgressed. How it Is that the
dispensation was 50 fully published in the
papers without the clergy being informed
is not explained.

CADETS IN sKIRMIsH LINE.

Witnessed by Crowds OF People.

The Compsny's Drill by the Bugle
Witnessed by Crowds OF People.
Company ( Of the First Regiment-the
Cadets-gave a skirmikh drill In field uni
form and with the commands by the bugle.
in the park extension yesterday afternoon.
Three thousand people were out 70 see the
drill, which was the first by the bugle call
ever seen in Savannah, and the park and
north end of the extension were
crowded with ladies. The Cadets
on the skirmish line commanded by Capt.
Brooks, with Lieut.. Nell, three sergeants and
a bugler. The reserve squad, com
manded by Lieut. Lowell, consisted Of
eight men and a sergeant. The men wore
blue flannel shirts, gray pantal2ons, I'M
tanned leggings, forage caps and prairie
belts Each man was supplied with forty
rounds Of ammunition.
The company marched from the Regimen
tai armory and entered the park at $50
o'clock. AS il wheeled into the parade
ground it presented an appearance
not often seen in company drills The men,
uniformed for action, with loaded cartridge
belts, marched in perfect step, and after
deploying, at the blast OF the bugle, they
formed in skirmish line 1t was the work
of moment, and before the spectators
knew what was going to take place, the firing
began. The line extended on the east side of
the parade ground from the park proper
to the south of the confederate monument.
At the bugle command to fire lying down
the men dropped to the ground and, hidden
by the tall grass, nothing could be seen at a
dista ce except the muzzles of their guns
and the flash and smoke as the firing began
along tae line.
At the command to cease firing the COM
pany assembled in double time and de-
ployed again, firing upon the halt and
moving to the front aud rear. by the tanks
and by volleys and by tours The reserve
force, while not on the diminishing line,
rallied and assembled with the company at
the command.
The crowd, eager to see the drill, pressed
into the parade ground and interfered to a
great extent with the skirmish movements
and firing, but as it was, the commands
were executed with remarkable readiness
and precision. The only commands given
orally were such as are not provided for by
bugle call The principal movements were
the formation of the skirmish line
on the center four to the front in
quick and double time, wheeling
of the right and left skirmishers in double
time to turn the opposing party's TANKS,
and the same movement to repulse similar
attempt on the part of the enemy, and
assemblies in double and quick ii ne.
Ne uFllI occupied nearly an nour ana a
half, and was watched with the keenest in
terest by military men and by the crowd Of
spectators. 1t was the first drill by the
bugle ever seen south, and that it
was successfully given, the compliments of
those who saw it, will show. Private G. w.
Strobhar was the company bugler, and he
gave the commands with care and exact
ness. At the end of the skirmish drill the
company formed in line and fired three vol
leys. The firing was one Of the features Of
the drill

The Morning News Trade Review

The Morning News Trade Review.
Never in the business history of Savannah
has there been greater necessity for the
coming trade review of the MORNING News
illustrating Savannah and her enterprises
than at present
Savannah is the great seaport city of the
state. 1t is the gateway to the sea. The
products Of a vast territory empty them
selves here. Here are the headquarters of
the vast Central railroad system, per-
meating every nook and corner of Georgia,
Alabama and South Carolina. Here is the
terminus of the Savannah, Florida and
Southern Georgia to our very doors, and
now extending itself to the heart of Ala
bama, drawing tribute for the city from
that prosperous state.
Savannah has now a new outlet 20 the
timber lands and cotton fields lying along
the Savannah, Americas and Montgomery
and Savannah and Western roads. Along
all these roads are cities and towns and
villages. The trade of these should be Sc
to trade with Savannah. Advertise our
city and ourselves, and let them know what
Savannah merchants can do.
The Trade Review, going everywhere,
finding every village, seeking every bust
ness man, at once introduces the city and
her business men. 1t aids the drummer on
his rounds. 1t tells our new acquaintance
in the recently opened territory where we
are and what we are. Such trade issue is
a directory, guide.
This is an age of reading People look in
the newspapers to find what they want.
Cannot our business men, arising to the
| hight of Savannah's bright future, aid in
making this trade review a great mirror,
rejecting to the business world our beautiful
city in all her gloryl
This is Savannah's golden opportunity to
turn the tide Of travel and trade to her own
doors, and thus secure the advantages which
nature and the sagacity of business men
have given her.
Every merchant in Savannah should be
represented in the columns of this issue.
The cost is small; the returns great. Full
information will be furnished on applica-
ton to the BUSINESS OFFICE telephone, 1874.

The RESIDUE on maporation contains II per
cent. silicic acid (S1O9, hardly any organic
matter and effervesces with acids, showing the
presence OF carbonates. As far as the chem ii
composition of this water is concerned it can be
considered TO be a very good one for drinking
purposes. microscopic meteorological inves

form part of our work.
