land owners in the county and had
large business capacity. He was one
of the early settlers of the county and
man of iron frame, capable OF endur-
ing any degree of hardship. OF gener-
a! impulses he never forgot favor
and never abandoned friend. He was
the father Of quite large family.

Fine, imposing school houses with
all modern equipments and complicat-
ed apparatus, are all admirable and to
be desired, but they do not in them
selves teach. You may pile all these
physical auxilaries high as Ossa upon
Pelion, and there will result no better
education than was given in the old
log school house unless behind this
completely and ailluence OF educational
machinery, are real teachers knowing &

Upon the educated, trained teacher,

The CROPS.-We have never seen
our farmers so jubilant over the pros
poets of their crops as they do at the
present time. Grass has never been so
forward at this time of year as it is
now; winter wheat is likewise luxuri-
ant; and the looks Of spring wheat, Bats
and other grain, are very encouraging
to the farmers of this portion of the
country. Appearances indicate very
abundant harvest.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

WoUNDED.-Wer regret to hear that
Sergeant-Major John M. Read, of the
l4th regiment, has been seriously
wounded near Vicksburg. He was
once foreman of the PILOT Office, and
no better boy ever entered the service
of his country. We hope that his
wounds will not prove SO severe as re-
ported.

AS we mentioned last week, the
large vessel being built here by the
Messrs Rand, the best ship-builders on
the lakes, is rapidly progressing to-
ward completion, and there is no doubt
that she will be adoat by the contract
time. We have suggestion to make
to Messrs Rand, which weN hope will
be received in all kindness by them, as
it is the wish of many of our people
that it should be expressed of
their men is in the habit of making a
very loud and disagreeable noise when
moving heavy timber, and his stentori-
an voice has many times alarmed our
dremen, causing them to leave their
business and run to their respective
engine houses, and his "wo-ho" some
times reaches the suburbs of the vii
lage, occasioning CONSIDERATION among
the timid females. We like the Joyous
"hoy-e-hove" of the gallant sailor as he
weighs anchor, destined for long voy-
age; but we do object to such horrid
believing as daily comes from Rands'
ship-yard. We trust that Greene will
intimate our objections to his mechan-
ic, and charge the trouble of doing SO
to our account.

LENT BEGINS TO-DAY.
Will Not Occur as EARLY Again Until
2OOS According to Computations
That Have Been Made.

Lent begins today and all devout
church communicates will be expect
ed to refrain from all unnecessary
frivolity until Easter, which falls this
year on March 80.
The Lenton fast and the feast of
Easter come the earliest this year
that they have since 1855, and viii
not accur again until zoos A. D., ac-
cording to computations that have
been made. The date for Easter is
fixed by the Gregorian calendar on
the first Sunday after the full moon
appearing upon or next after March
81. Easter this year will come one
day after the earliest date it could
possibly occur, 1t is said, since If the
full moon should appear on March 81
and that da.e happened to be on Sun
day. Easter would not come until the
next Sunday. Easter has not fallen
on March o.. the earliest possible
date, since 1913. when the full moon
appeared on Saturday. March 21, II
is said.
BY the Gregorian calendar the full
moon always occurs on the four
teenth of the lunar month, which has
twenty-eight days. While 1t is usual
ly the same as the astronomical full
moon, it Is not necessarily SO, it is
said. Following out this law, the la
test possible date for Easter to be OBJ
served is April 25, for If the full
moon should appear on March 20,
Easter could not be observed until
the next full moon, appearing April
IS, and II this happened to be Sun
day, Easter would fall one week later
or April 25.
