But contentious men, i:" I f ,nv particular UeneDt to me .it nol be foretold However f: nmnities may be agitated hHl,( ,: ...tr countv is perfectly men who would look upon every child, like the good school counseller Dinter, who looked upon the peasant children of Prussia, as a I eing, who could complain of him be fore God, if he did not provide for them best education as a man and a Chnstain, it was possible for mm to provide. These are the men that should be at the head of our school a flairs. Having secured a lard of good directors the next step would be to select good teachers. We have many in our schools who could be retained, and by an increase of salary, some who have left the profession might be induced to return. An increase of salary would also keep within our limits many who are yearly going to . other coun ties and states. Must we ever continue the suicidal practice of driving our best talent to sister counties and states to teach their children while ours suffer an intel lectual starvation? Hoard of director when asked about salary say, "Give us better teachers and we will pay better salaries." I his can never be. School boards must first carefully discriminate between good iind poor teachers and then reward the trood b' an advance in salary and cast out the poor entirely. So long as school boards hire poor teachers there will be such to hire. The first step in advance must be taken by them. It needs no argument to convince a candid observer that our people are not as mucii interested in popular education as those of many other places. A fact recently noticed by the local press that Dr. Car rows lect ures were poorly attended is in point here. Prof. LcTot t's tricks are appreciated more than Dr. Carrows able lectures. Something is wrong either in our intel lectual or moral education. Have we-not intellect to appreciate what is truly intel lectual ? or must we be content with trifling tricks. The question vet remains unanswered. How can an interest be created in our public schools ? Will not the pulpit and the press give an impulse to this question, that will continue to be felt? Will any one think it worth his while to speak on this subject ? Will any one seize his pen and write for the good of mankind ? Let some one "sound the key-note." A Humhle Teacher. A Nevada Rabbit Hunt. From t!ic Silver State, January 10. Another grand rabbit hunt the second of the season ciime off last week in Grass Valley. John Guthrie, proprietor of the Sonoma ranch, having determined to rid the vicinity uf the pests which destroyed acres of grain and vegetable f'r hitn last season, had provided ammunition and pro visions for the attack on the enemy. Ten guns were mustered into service, and the hunt continued four days, in which time eight hundred and fifty-six r-obits were slaughtered. One hundred pounds of shot were fired during the crusade, and Guthrie is satisfied with the result. According to the record kept by the boys at the ranch more than three thousand rabbits have been killed in its immediate neighborhood since last July. They are tolerably well thinned out now, and hopes are entertain ed that their depredations will be less ex tensive next summer than last, when they devoured about sixty acres of barley, be sides potatoes and other vegtables. They were as great a plague to farmers in many parts of the country last year as the grass hoppers in Kansas and Nebraska. Iteverdy Johnson, cf Maryland, one of the best known men in the United States, died suddenly at Annapolis on Thursday, in his SO year. He returned from a trip to Europe but a short time ago. He began his public life as Deputy Attorney-General of Maryland in 1817 ; then became in suc cession State Senator, United States Sena Attorney-General of the United States, .Senator again, and Minister to England. Mr. Johnson was an able lawyer, and stood near tlier the head of the b.ir iu this coun try. He was a Whig during most of his life, but enjoyed the confidence of all par tics. The circumstances of his death were peculiar, and there seems some reason to believe that he died by violence. He had been dining with the Governor, and com plaining of illness was left alone in a room. After dark he was found outside the door wa perfectly dead, and with cuts on his person and his skull fractured in two places. Warren Lee Goss, President of the Na tional Association of Andcrsonville survi vors, has written a letter replying to the assertion of Jefferson Davis that the mor tality of Kebel prisoners in Union hands was greater than that of Union men in Re bel prisons. Mr. Gross gives the official figures to bhow that 188,145 Union men were captured by the Confederates, of whom half were confined in prison. Of these 38 J per cent., or 30,401, died in Rebel prisons. The nmmber of Rebel soldiers confined in Union prisons was 227,570, of whom 13$ per cent, died while there. Thus the mor tality of Union men was about three times as great as that of their antagonists. 31r. Goss also asserts that when an effort was made to have the cruel Gen. "Winder re moved from the charge of the prisoners the only response of Jeff. Davis was to give him still greater power. The Machias (Me.) Union says that a lady member of a family in Machias, more than a year ago, while "stirring up" a straw bed lost a ring from her finger. Strict search was made, but the ring could not be found. The straw was emptied into the stable in the spring and used as bedding for horses, and thrown upon the manure heap ; the manure was hauled about three miles and used on a potato lot. The crop of potates were dug and cellared, and last Tuesday, as the man was cutting 6ome of them to feed his horses, his knife struck some hard substance, which, on investiga tion, proved to be the identical ring lost in the straw bed more than a year previously. A Hazleton clockmaker has constructed a fac simile of the great clock at Stras bourg, one-third its size, with all the auto matic figures. John Hamlin, a Luzerne county black smith, performed the big feat of sharpen ing and shoeing all around sixteen horses in" thirteen boars. He m tde every shoe 7- Special 3SToti.ce. !
