Buckwalter was elected secre tary pre tern., the regular secretary b.-ing absent. reports as te cners. II. M. Engle reported the corn crop in his vicinity better than expecled. Twe farmers adjoining his property report a yield of 92 bushels te the acre en their Holds. Wheat is doing welt, inhere Is a little mere pleasant weather, wheat will go into, winter quarters in very geed condi tion. Gress is In first-class condition. Threshers report a geed yield of wheat. Casper Hllier also reported a fine corn crop. Wheat Is doing well, of early pota toes there was a geed crop. Late potatoes did net turn out se well. He has had no cab en his potatoes since be began using phosphates Instead of stable manure. M. D. Kendlg reported that there hed been some hog cholera In his vicinity, but it had lieen stamped out. Mr. Chandler said the corn yield was a geed one. Nearly all of the crop has been housed. J. R.. Buckwalter said that the wheat in his section was looking well. Mr. GreiT reported that the early fields of wneat joeKeu wen, Din tue late ones slant! thin, but he believed it would ceme out all right with geed weather. AK ESSAY OK GRASS. II. M. Engle read an essay en the cultiva tion of grass. Se far as its money value is concerned it is the largest of all our crops. The soiling of cattle was recotnmendod, as the grass would net be wasted. The great requisite for geed grass crops is well pre pared and fertile greund.lt en ibt te be made a special Instead of an accidental crop. He considered timothy and clever as the most in favor. "Dees it pay te keep the boys en the farm? ' was the subject of a paper by M. D. Kendlg. He said : The average boy Is by nature endewed with cerUIn qualities of mind and heart, the proper oxerclse of which leads te happiness and success. Te bring these Inte healthy play, there is perhaps no better place than en the farm. It Is a fact generally conceded that a rural home is the best place te bring up geed men and women. With all this there isaprevalllng tendency among the farmer's boys te leave the old home, which they think tee dull and uninteresting for one, in seme town or city, mero congenial te their tastes. New, this may be all right If agricultural llfe las no Interest or charm for him, and he has a special tact or aptitude for seme one of the industrial trades or the learncd professions. But befere making this change let him well consider whether It Is net only the glare nnd glttter of the social llfe in the city that Is alluring him. I am fully con vinced that in ninny cases it is tiie social dearth or leauness of the average farmer's life that is driving the bright, ambitious boy away. He is very carefully instructed in'themeais of trotting a living, but net hew te live. Ills life is tee often made en of unceasing toil ; tee little opportunity, for pleasure, recreation or mental Iinpiot'e Iinpiet'e u eit. With the education he reesives his tas'es an 1 capacities for pleasure enlarge, wnich must be gratified. New if the home is made beautiful and attractive by having books, papers, music, reading brought te play in the Indoor en tertainments, with a geueral air of order rfnd thrift harmonizing all without, the tastes thus created will find the highest gratification, and there will be fewer doser deser doser tlenSlfrain ihe old homeitead : the boys will net want te loave, nor will it pay them te de se. The paper was discussed by Messrs. Engle, Chandler, Buckwalter and ethers. C0MPKTIT10X WITH CHEAP LANDS. " Hew can the Pennsylvania farmer compete with the $15 and $20 land of the West 1 " This was the subject of a paper bv Calvin Cooper, of Blrd-iu-Hand. lie said : The solution of this qtisstien lias been a perplexing query te our Lan caster county fanners for years. With land here at from 8150 te $200 per acre, an unequal taxation and a disci iiulnatien of rates of freight against us, the preb'em has been a serious one and will ere long, If the present state of the market con tinues, bring its resulting ccn equence of financial disaster te many or our over taxed producers. Let us leek at the relative positions of the districts. The propeunder of the question does net say whether comparison Is te be taken from the Miss issippi valley or the cheap lands of our own commonwealth. If the former. I might at ence assert that It is impossible terus te compete with them. They have two of the greatest markets, Chicago and St. Leuis, en the continent and with the ereat trunk lines of railroad are enabled ttr for .vard the product of their faiuu te the eastern pelncs of shipment for expert or conaujnprieu at rates but little above that charged 'from' Lancaster te Philadelphia. Numerous instances have been reported where a less rate has been charged for 1,000 miles than we pay for 100. We there there thore fero under such circumstances could net be successful committers, with labor and production equal. These discriminating freight rates are and have lieen the great bane te profitable agricul ture throughout the eastern part of Pennsylvania. I belleve our soil as fertile and productive as the average of the noted valleys of. the West, and would with a fair and lust comparison and with an equal taxation with ether commercial Interests and the same freight rate per mile be Abundantly able te compete with any fanning district In this great common wealth and maintain the present value of our land. But such does net seem te be the happy clrcumstance at the present time, let we liejxi the time is net far distant wheit the oppressed tillers of the soil of Eastern Pennsylvania will rcjoice in a mere equal taxation, and be able te ship our products te the Eastern markets at the bame rate per inlle as that charged ter longer distances. In the lnterval let us endeavor te devise some plan te bridge ever the great chasm of bankruptcy. With corn at 30 te 40 cents, wheat at C5 te 70 cents, hay at $10 te $13 jer ten, potatoes 40 te DO cents a bushel and ether products at equally low prices the problem does net seem an easy one. There are, however, circumstance? that are and have been Impediments te financial success. Extravagance in dress and eutllt for the sake of appearance is ene of the chief leaks In the bank account. Tills county is noted for its flne horses and carriages. I venture the assertion there is no county in the cemm6nvcUlth that can produce as many fine turnouts. City and county seem te vie with each ether In the otl'ert te excel. Anether source of extravagance Is our fencing. The cost of fencing a 100 aero arm, as It la usually done In this vicinity .during au ordinary business life, say 40 years, would maintain an ordinary family during their remaining years. This doubt Jess may seem a very wild expression. But Z mutt respectfully assert tkat the figures trill Mteuad any one. The person who 58. will make the calculation and charge the amounts expended for material and labor te expense account and compound the Interest as It would accrue if invested, will be convinced of the extravagant outlay. Why net aban don this great leech upon our resources T The act of the last Legislature repealed the old fence laws. Are we net at liberty te abandenall fence-making if we se desire, except ter en r convenience? Let us see for one mement the enennity of the out lay en a hundred acre farm. If It lay In a square piece there would be required 500 reds of fencing te enclose it, or te divide It Inte 5 fields of equal size, with the least possible fencing, would require 330 reds, In all equal te ijsgp panels of pest and rail lence. Te this should be added the extra lane and yard fences which would increase the number at the lowest estimate 100 panels mere. Te this should be added the less of the use of ground occupied and In terest of the cost of land, and you will readily realize the enormity of the exponse. But doubtless many will say they cannot dispense with them. This Is only true In their imagination. We have been accustomed and schooled te them as a necessity because It was compulsory te fence against a neighbor's animals. If I have been correctly Informed such is new the case, and a fence or no fence is the pioasure of every owner of real estate. Having referred te some of the paia paia alies that draw upon the Income of the husbandman, let us leek for ether re sources than the crops usually grown. Wheu wheat becomes an unremuneratlve crop, why net grew rye T It will en an average produce mero bushels and tbe straw always commands a ready market in Philadelphia nnd ether Eastern cities. Seil mero hay and grew fodder corn for feed. These who have net tried the ex periment will be gratifled nnd surprised te sce the quantity that could be grown upon an acre of ground; Instead of grow ing 100 bushels or less of potatoes grew 200 or 300 bushels ; plant less acreage of com, every hill fllled. and with geed cultivation ?:row 121 bushels per aero (like our friend llller) Instead of 50 or less than the usual average, Loek at your market and grew the best that can be produced te supply It, no matter what the crop. A friend of mine realized $50 from a two-herso lead or celery, grown upon a small fraction of an aero. With mere te sell of any crop the market demands and that put up in the best pessible condition wilt always com mand a ready sale, at remunerative prices, while the low grades are a glut and go begging for buyers. Make every acre pro duce something that will command a ready sale and there will be no need te fear the cheap lands of the West. An interesting discussion followed, which was participated in by a number of the members. p. c. mr.Lmt'n prize ache. Casper Hlllcr read a paper en the prire acre of corn, rcferred te in the Intklm OKNCErt several days age. He said that after preper immuring, the main thing in raising a geed crop of corn is the right kind of plowing. The use of the new Tangled Jointer te the plow is an abomination. It turns the sod from 0 te 8 inches under. This puts it be yond the influence of nir. light and heat, and It will net be changed into nltrle acid or plant feed. Sed should net be buried deeper than three or four Inches, In a dty season, this might be hard en corn, and it might be advisable te fellow with a subsoil Slew and root down four or five Inches eeper. The average of the corn crop in Pennsyl vania is said te be only 40 bushels. New, when 80 or 120 bushels can raised may we net ask why 40 or less are raised 7 Artificial fertilizers, that contain the same elements of stable manure, can be applied, i I have known of $10 worth of fertilizers put en an acre of peer land that ' would net have produced ever.. fiftceuii'buhjq of , corn which produced ever nfty "bushels. This $10 worth of fortillzer was net at all taken up by the corn crop, but it mede a feed crop of wheat and clever. In theory can raise 150 busbels of corn per aero all the time. But laying theory and castle building aside, I have this year seen three tracts that produced as fellows : 120 bush els per aero, 118 bushels per aero, 80 bush els per aero, and saw where improvements could be made in each. The most netable was the aero that made 80 bushels. This by acciilent was tee thin en the ground by actual count I found that it averaged less than ene stalk a yard in the row rows being 3 feet 4 inches apart. I feel vorycenfldonttliat when all con ditions are complied with 150 bushels muy be grown en an acre. The subject for discussion at the nest meeting will be, Wiiat can we de te keep our reads in proper repair?" All the supervisors and ox-Hiipervlsors of the canity will be Invited te the meeting te take part in the discussion. S. It. Downing, of West Chester, who read a paper en this subject at the meeting of the State Heard of Agriculture, will be invited te be present at that meeting. a farmer's institute. It was declded te held a favmer's insti tute In this city en the 8th and 0th of Janu ary, and Jeseph F. Wltmur, II. M. Mayer and Dr. J. P. Wickersham Were appointed te arrange u program me, in consultation with Calvin Cooper, local member of the State Beard of Agriculture. LOST HIS LEO UNDER A CAIt. A Conshohocken Muii Injured 'While Trying te Steal a Itlde Near Columbia. A man who gave his name us Ishmael Heald, and says that his home is in Con shohocken, Montgomery county, was brought te this city late last night minus a great part of ene leg, which he lest in a railroad aci-ldtnt. About 8 o'clock last evening Christian Snyder, of Columbia, a track walker in the employ of the Penn sylvania railroad, was walking along Just east of St. Charles furnace, 'which ' Is west of Columbia, when he discovered a man lying along the south track of the railroad. He examined hlin and found that he had been badly injured, ene leg having been crushed. The man was taken te Columbia, where the ll'iib was amputa ted, Just below the knee, by Dr. Craig. Afterwards the man was brought te Lan caster en u freight train, which arrived here at exactly 12 o'cle.-k, and he was taken te the county hospital, w here he Is doing very well le-Jay. The accident happened when the min was trying te beard a freight train ler the fiurpose of Mealing a ride, and it was argely owing te the fact that he was intox icated. He was very drunk when found by Snyder, and remained in that condition for a long time afterwards, although he was pretty well sobered up by the time he reached Lancaster. When questioned by the persons having him In charge ufier the accident he was very feaucy, and net only rafuscd te tell what his name was or whera he hailed from but cursed everybody ateut him. Te-day he has ninth mero sense, as he realizes hew badly he is hurt and what a narrow escape from death he had. He is about 20 years of age. " The injured man was brought te this city in the caboeso of a freight train, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he was taken out and placed en the old stretcher that has been in use at the station for many years, lie was uuaiiy put into me wagon which Is used for carrying the mails from the station te the postelllce, which rattled eir ever the rough streets te the hospital. Among the people who saw the man leaded upon the waeu were a nuinber of strangers wheat once Inquired whether there was no ambulance in the city and whether that wastlie way all unfortunates wero taken te the hospital. When told the true state of (acts they were astonished. The Lancaster people were also disgusted and very much ashamed of their city and many of them remarked that it was little wonder that the Intejxiekxcxu advocated the purchase of an ambulance. The ambulance fund new stands nt $li!.19, the lateet subscription having lieen ene cent formally contributed by au e'gliteeii-lnch scholar or the infant school of the Presbyterian Memerial church.

The New Yerk World has the following letter from Queenstown dated October 20th: The Servia cast anchor in this harbor early this beautiful Sunday forenoon. Your correspondent engaged " Jerry, " the famous Jaunting-car driver, and drove at once te the Queen's hotel te see ene of the sights of the place, Its pretty barmaid, " Tettio " Fitzgerald. Every one who has ever been In Queenstown knew " Tettle " " Tettio of the Queen's hotel. Net te knew her was te be a rank outsider. What "Tettio" said, what " Tettle" thought and her last 6ei met were things that everybody had te hear and were glad te remember. Te the visitor's surprise he found " Tottle's " place tilted by a tall and excessively muscular Irish girl. The first question asked, naturally, was, " Where laJTottleT'" . " Oh, Tettlb ' is married. " " Married ? I am very glad of It. Ship mates, here's te Tettle M By the way, who did she msrry T " " An American millionaire. " " But tell us his name T " " Maurlce Da Pent, of Wilmington, Del."

Fitzgerald, Iiichlmere, Bresna, Miss Fitzgerald belng a Reman Catholic and Mr. Dtt Pent a Protestant, a dispensa tion was obtained in order that she might wed the rich American. She was bem at Bresna, In County Kerry, twenty-twe years age, the daughter of a fanner work ing his own land, assisted by two sons and three daughters. She left her home, and after a year passed In Cerk as a barmaid removed te Queenstown, where she seen secured the position in the Queen's hotel from which she has emerged in a blaze of glory. On June 1, theCunard steamship Etrurla lauded young Maurlce Du Pent at Queens Queons Queens tewn, his brether, L. C. Du Pent, and his aunt, with several of her children. They stepped at the Queen's hotel. "Tettio" at once attracted the attention of the two brothers. Maurice was clearly smitten at iirsi sigiit, ier, auer iwe weexs' sojourn, the family left for England, but Maurlce coutrlved te separate himself from the rest ei me company ana returned te practlse befre"Tettle's" bar. He explained his return thus: " I have seen alt that Is worth looking at In Europe, and prefer te stay here and fish and sketch, rather than te travel further. " Te make geed his words, fishing, driving aud photo graphing parties, in company with a local celebrity, Christopher Beatty. were there after frequently organized "Tettio" was twitted by the froquentnrs of the bar about her lever, but Bhe always replied that he was only a friend. As days passed Mr. Du Pent seemed te become attached te the restaurant-bar. After die nor, he often alpped his cup of ceflsi outside the bar, where he could converts jvith the pretty maid behind it ; and, it Is said, in the hotel, that during a rush of business, the handsome young millionaire had been known te assist "Tettle" behind t'ie counter in serving drinks. On 'Tettle'B," afternoon out, Maurlce would take her for drives In the country en a Jaunting-car. He drove her te Blarney Castle te kiss the Blarney stone. They also went te Ballycotton, the favorite seaslde resort, and sat for hours en the great rocks facing the bread Atlantic. On another occasion hodrevo her te Morleguo Weed, where the stately beech trees grew. After that, the pcoplebegau te say that "Tettio" had captured the American millionaire. This made a profound sensation. The middle of July had new arrived. The weathern as charming in evcry res pect, and during the warm summer ovenlngs Maurlce Du Pent could be seen lounging in an eaHy chair In front of the barroom of the Queen's hotel, with ene eye cast out ever the sea and the ether intently fixed en the busy little barmaid within the house. He was new well known te all the Queens town people. They regarded him with the greatest Interest. They studied his attlre, from his natty neckwear te his russet shoes, with the utmost respect and care. He had no confidant and no companion save "Tettio." He was a great reader, and was among the very first te sccure an early copy of the New Yerk papers when the Atlantic liners arrived. The Queenstown regatta was held en the 15th of August, Mr. Du Pent appeared en the promeuade dressed In a white flunnel suit In the com pany of Miss Fitzgerald's aunt. Nine days afterwards the young American sailed from Queenstown for New Yerk en the Arizona, premising te return en the Teutonic, which would leave New Yerk en the 18th of September. When his departure was known the town gossips declared that "Tettio" had been Jilted. Within a week after Mr. Du Pent had sailed "Tettio" left the Queen's hotel and proceeded te Cerk, where she took up her abode with her aunt. The young man was as geed as his word. The Teutonic touched at Queenstown before daylight en the morning of September 25, and, strangely enough, your correspondent, who te-dav detected "Tettle"' at the Queen's hotel, was a passenger. Se was Maurlce Du Pent, He landed In the mists of the morning. He had evidently been apprised of "Tottle's" departure from Queenstewn, for he toele the mall train te Cerk and was seen In stalled at the Imperial hotel. He told the happy girl that he had brought the cousent of his relatives te their marriage He made her several very haudsome presents, and, tegether, they went te shops In Cerk where they purchased ever 81,600 worth of wed ding trousseau. The bans wero published. As seen as her dresses could be made they went te the church, and" se they were married." Mr. and Mrs. Du Pent left at on?e for Dublin en route for Switzerland, whero they will spend soveral mentl befere re turning te New Yerk. It Is said that "Tot "Tet tie's" education will be Improved during her stay in Switzerland befere she is pre sented te American society. Every man, woman and child in Queenstown speaks kindly and respectfully of her of her vir tue, youth and beauty. She received a great many piesents. A dispatch te the ll'erc( from Wilming ton, Delaware, says: The extensive Du Pent family seem te have been familiar with the intention of the young man te cheese hlmself a wife of foreign birth, a princess perhaps, when he sailed for Eng land a little ever a month age. He told them he was going te marry "au Irish lady." Henry It. Du Pent, uttemey-ut-law, soeined te have very little interest in the actions or whereabouts of his relative. He told the World correspondent that he thought Maurice was new In Cerk and that he was going te be married. Win. Saulsbury, who succeeded te the law practice of ene of the Du Fonts, w he died a short while age, said that Maurice had Just married " an Irish lady " and was in some part of Great Britain. The young man, he said, was twenty-two years of age and of ample fortune. He would seen teturn te this country, and the bride would be Installed in one of the mansions en the Brandywlne. Maurlce is n direct descendant of Eleuthere Irenee Du Pent, who had a narrow escape from the gtiillotlue during the red days of Itebesplerre's reign of ter ror in Paris. His father and himself w era both marked for the headsman, and their time w as close at baud w hen HebOHpIerre's tan cuangeu tue orueroi tilings anu opened their prison doers. They came te America in the latter part of IVM. The Du Fonts have an International fame. Their sporting powder is used all ever the world. During the second war with Great Britain the Du Pouts' works, with a capacity of only 2,000 pounds a day, were the sole source of xupply for gunpowder for the American armies. In the Mexican war tbe government again get Its supplies from the Du Feets, and later they furnished one-half the powder used in tbe Crimean PA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1889. war. These facts are mentioned te show the importance of the family and the re- fiute which lias all along attached te heir enterprise. They are stilt the dominant power In the powder markets of the world. There factories are net only flourishing along the Brandy wine, but nine of them exist In Pet nsylvanla and several in Ohie. .They manufacture 40,000 pounds a day themselves and are sold te control nearly all that is manufactured by ethers. Necessarily they are wealthy. And then the Huguenot stock te which they trace thelrancestry gives them social distinction. Maurice Du Pent has no interest In the works; ha never had any; but he has a large fortune Inte iiilch he came about a year age, derived from his father's estate. The exact value of his possession and their character cannot be ascertained, as the Du Fonts are both exoluslve and secretive and resent any meddling In their affairs. Maurice Du Pent Is about 23 years of age and waa regarded as the most unllkeTy ene of the en tire family te contract a mar riage with a barmaid. He was a hard student and bad Just finished au advauced course In electrical engineering at the Jehns Hepkins University. He has much of the family pride of his house, Is rather a handsome young man, quiet and digni fied in his manner. Whan last at home In conversing with a young lady about Miss Fitzgerald, he stated she lived with her widowed mother near Cerk, and that she waa descended from Lord Fitzgerald, an Irish peer, who was prominent lit-the sixteenth century. The young lady's family were In limited elrcumstances, but highly renpoctable; but there was no reference made te her having any connection with a tavern. Before she consented te marry Mr. Du Pent she took the precaution of writing te a Cutholle priest here, asking concerning him, and the dlvine wrete back eulogizing the young man and his family. When In this country he secured lotters and pass ports as n further mark of his Identity. This safeguard in establishing the werlh and standing of her husband, nnd his own talk lead the family te hone that there may be some mlstake by the World correspon dent and an erroneous confusion of names. CALLS IIATUUSONA. TBAITOn. A Prominent If oeslor Says the President Turns Ills Bsek te Old Frlends. Washington Bpeclul tePHUburg Dispatch. There is In Washington te-day an In diana Bepublican who six months age was the most onthusiastle and irrepressi ble Harrison man in all Hoestordom. To day he has nothing but sneers and hatred for the president, who he says, has be trayed the Republican party. This man is the Hen. David V. Baker, one of the most widely known and ctToctlve stump speakers in the state. There are just two things. In Mr. Baker's opinion, that are responsible for the flat failure of Harrison as president. First, he turned his en tire policy In tbe direction of fileaslng the Mugwumps Instead of the tepubllcans who made hlin, and secend. he lias allowed his actions te be controlled by the Indianapollsgangef politicians who could net carry their own county for him, while he has utterly forgetton the men who made him what he Is. Mr. Baker claims te be ene. of the men mainly responsible for the advancement of Benjamin Harrison. In 1600 he helped te nominate him for the first ofllce he ever held, that uf reporter of the supreme court of Indiana. Iu 1881, Mr. Baker was a member of the Indiana Legislature, and was the first man te vete for Benjamln Harrison for the position of United States senator, and en May 30, 18S8, in a speech in Pertiaud, Ind., he nominated him for president. New Baker is a candidate for appoint ment te a consulship, and he gets the cold shoulder at the Wnlte Heuse because he is neither n Mugwump, nor a member of the Indianapolis gang. There were no bounds te the eloquenco of the Hoeslor orator when speaking of the man whom he new distrusts and clislikes. Fer Instance, he said in the Portland speech: "The tengue of slander will be slleiiced when the pcople knew tbe ability and purity of our man that the old bleed still flews that the old stock still lives, and in the person of Qoneral Harrison, of Indiana, lias net degenerated, but Is noble, pure and geed as in the days that tried men's souls." New all is changed, and In the opinion of his former ouleglst, no man livoserovor did live, who was sucli a traitor te his party as Ben Harrison lias been te his. Baker says that Harrison sounded his death-knell wheu he wrete that o'ause in his message announcing that he would fellow out the civil servlce policy laid down bv O rover Cloveland, and which cost thai disappointed man the doctoral vote of New Yerk. "I told Prosldeut Har rison theso things te his face. In the New Deulsen heuse, of Indianapolis, I told him frankly that the people of the West, and particularly'tbe poeplo of Indl ana,are opposed te the C'hlnose civil service law, that they demanded tbe fruits of thelr hard-earned victory, and they will bury deepand fuiuver the man who was se false te his past frlends and his party as te ac cept the presidency as the result of the Re publican support, and then will seli out te Mugwumps. If we cannot have the Bo Be publicans of the immortal Lincoln, tlien we of the West would much prefer the heroic doctrine of Jacksen." As proof of his charge that the gang of Indianapolis politicians ere running the administration, Mr. Baker points te the appointment of Private Secretary Halford, Censul General New, Marshal Bansdeil, Minister Perter, Attorney General Miller and ethers. "They have all the ofllccs,"he says, "and all the influcnce, and yet what did they de in the campaign 7 Why, thev lest Marlen county for the first time that any Bepublican candidate for president failed te carry It." Mr. Baker says that It is the honest opin ion of a large majority or the Itepubllcuns of Indiana that the man closest te the president is Atterney General Miller, u man who knows less of law than of poll ties, and precious little of cither. The Mugwumps and the Indianapolis gang, he says, have mero influence ever Harrison's acts than the combined Republicanism of the country, and he gives it us his opinion, which he thinks is heartily concurred In by the rank and fila of the party through out the state, that were there au election in Indiana te-morrow the Republican ticket would be burled out of sight. What Lecal Educators Itepert. The following reports are taken from the Pennsylvnnttx Scheel Jeurnal: Superintendent Brecht: Our M-hoelsaro all in operation and premise a measurnble linpnnenient In spirit and activity. The health of the county has never been belter, popular sentiment for better schools never stronger, and the enthusiasm of teachers never mero premising. These flattering conditions glve us a large enrollment, a regular attendance, and a full degree of Interest In the branches taught. Kupt. Hnirman, of Celumbia: Our term openod with an onrelliuout of 1,700. We have no entirely Inexperienced teuchers. We hope, by a careful study of our work, and by oarnest endeavor, te In crease the elUcieucy and usefulness ofeur schools. Celebrated Ills Twenty-first Ulrllulay. Harry J.
