EDITORIAL .VOTES AKD NOTICES. Tho Nebraska Watchman says : "Dangerous counterfeit $5 treasury notes are in circulation. Look out for them." No one hereabouts has been hurt with them yet. Treasury notes are so scarce about here that eren a counterfeit wouhl be a relief. Thn Tirmnorat and Aavcrtiser 01 North Platte city have amalgamated, and the compound is christened the Enterprise. Yc hope the Enterprise. will be a success. In Plattsmouth when a man is pre sented with a new heir ho rushes through the street at midnight, cap less, coatless, pantless and shoeless, even if the mercury is below zero. So says tho Watchman. We are strang ers to the peculiarities of this peculiar city, but we think this is a" custom "more honored in the breach than the observance." The Right Honorable Sir Edward George Earle Lytton Buhver, died last Saturday. A disastrous fire occurred in Oma ha on Monday night. It wap bad enough, we suppose, but "what's the use of comparing it to. the Chicago or Boston fire, as some af the Omaha nfinprs have done, when the whole town would hardly make kindling enough to start a Chicago or Boston fire. The Omaha Herald has discovered that the "impiisonment of little ones for six hours a day in the schools is a barbarous system." Some mighty smart men have grown up under that system Dr. Miller for instance. But send them out "bird's nesting," Dr.; that's what we used to like to do. A new pnpor, the Howard Champi on, Clay county, comes to us this week. It is Republican in principles and bears a very presentable appear ance. When a twelve-year-old girl in Lin coln, Neb., gives birth to a healthy child, the people call it a "freak of nature." Ex. Funny name for a baby. Stokes celebrated tho anniversary of Fisk's murder by listening to an interesting speech from Judge Board man in which that gentleman pre dicted that it was the last anniversa ry which thesaid Stokes would cele brate. Frank P. Biair's successor in the Senate of the United States is Colonel Bogy, of St. Louis. The name is pro nounced "Bo-zhee," with the accent on the firsttsyllable. It is a trito saying that it takes "nine tailors to make a man," but the gentlemanly bearing and business success of R. W. Bennett and H. H. Dolen has rather rebutted the imputa tion that they are such "vulgar fract ions." They are certainly "gentlemen of cloth." But they have parted an accusation which never has been made of their seams. Mr. Bennett will retire, and Mr. Dolen will con tinue to "stitch, stitch, stitch" we dare not quote further. "Wedding suits a speciality," these gentlemen have said for some time. Now we would remind the survivor that "charity begins at home," and "a specialty of a wedding suit" might come nearer suiting him, if bis suit "gang not aglee." But success to Henry, the "knight of the shears." May ho never miss a suit, and even suit a Jliss. Small Pcx. Small pox seems to bo assuming an L epidemic form in Boston and viciuity. Three thousand cases were reported on Monday, and the number of deaths are said to exceed all other causes combined. The burials have nearly all been made at night. Considerable excitement prevails, and commercial interests seem to be effected. It is to be hoped that the dispatches are" ex aggerated, and that this dangerous disease may not become epidemical. The Sabbath School Concert held at the M. E. church on last Sabbath eve is pronounced one of the best ever held in our city. It was full of inter est to the little ones and no doubt was productive of much good. We have been told that some of our school offi cers have decided in favor of the dis continuance of these concerts, doubt ing the benefit derived from them. We should consider such action un wise, for if properly conducted they cannot fail to be powerful auxiliaries in the Sabbath School work. They must be made attractive for the chil dren as, indeed, the Sabbath School must be, to be successful. The great est effort is required to get the chil dren into the Sabbath School and to keep them there, and this can best be done by making the place attractive. The influence which is then brought to bear upon them cannot fail to as sist in moulding to a greater or less ex tent their future character. STATE XOIUIAL SCHOOL. Editor Omaha Republican : Your Lincoln correspondent makes the following statement regarding the State Normal School : "I am told that the catalogue of the school shows that four-fifths of the students are from Nemaha county, and the most of them from Peru precinct." The primary school connected with the institution is composed chiefly of scholars from Peru precinct. It is of course expected that in every Normal School the primary department will will be chiefly local. This -department numbets seventy, and a teach er is employed in it and paid by mon ey given by Peru precinct, or rather by a school district in that precinct. In the higher departments of the school there are now enrolled, and are, or have been, in actual attendance since the year began, September 5th, 1S72, one hundred and forty-nine stu dents, distributed as follows: Nemaha county Otoe Richardson...: Johuson........ .- SO ...30 . 6 .. 4 .- 4 . 3 3 .. 3 Cass ....... Sarpy.... Lancaster Pawnee-.. Saunders Washington.. '"t pi" uougmas miner Red Willow Adams....-..., Fifteen counties are represented. The remaining students are from other States. Of the one hundred and foity-nine students "Peru precinct" furnishes fifty-two. Yonrs respectfully, T. J. Morgan, Principal. Ptrronal. Mrs. J. B.

We didn't know that his soul was so full of mus ic, or that he could soar with such ease and grace the solar height of rhetorical imagery. We, of course, do not wish to flatter the editor, but we are only expressing what we be lieve to be the popular opinion insaj'- ing that this original effusion is a rich production. We shall await its prom ised continuation with interest, and hope that it will not be concluded without a compliment fo Brownville's lords as well as ladies. Farmers, when you come to town don't fail to call and see Stevenson & Cross, for you will save bushels of corn by trading with them. A CARD. Editor Nebraska Advertiser. Mr. Hubberd, Secretary of the Teachers' Institute, of Lafayette pre cinct, states the non-arrival of the mail at Grant P. O. for two weeks, but he magnanimously forgives this, and hopes the mqil will not get the Epizootic again. Now, when we con sider that during the past month, while the horses were struggling with the Epizootic, we have, by an almost supernatural effort on the part of both man and beast, succeeded in making two trips per week ; one via of Sher man to Table Rock ; the other via London, Glen Rock and Grant to Te cumseh : we say that in view of all this, such a statement as that of Mr. Hubberd is aggravating. If it was done maliciously we pronounce the author no gentleman ; but if it was .unintentional, as probably it was, we have nothing more to say, except per haps a word of advic6. We would say to Mr. Hubberd that the Adver tiser has a large circulation, and Usuch unconscious misrepresentations might produce magnified results. L. D. R.

In answer to the call of the County Superintendent the teachers and friends of education in the surround ing districts, assembled at the school house in District No. 71, commonly known as the Kimsey district, on Friday evening, Jan. 17th, 1873. The meeting having been called to order, P: Crother was appointed Sec retary of the Institute. Opening chorus by the Dye Broth ers. Prayer, by J. B. Pifer. Music by" the Dye Brothers ; after which the question, "Should whispering be abol ished in the school room?" was warm ly debated. LeRoy Mason opened the discussion, followed by Jas. Tuck er, J. B. Pifer, N. B. Catlin, G. S. McGrew, P. Crother and S. W. Mc Grew. The majority of the speakers were of the opinion that it would be more injurious than beneficial to abolish it. Four of the speakers thought it could not be done. The Superintendent believed that it could, and cited one or two instances where he knew tkat it had been accomplished, by what is term ed "moral suasion." He, the Super iutendent, favored the latter plan, and strenuously urged it upon the teachers present, earnestly to endeav or to abolish it; believing that it would conduce to the benefit both of pupils and teachers. In the intervals of the debate, the talented Dye Brothers discoursed most melodious music, wnicn secured a far more ab sorbing attention, apparently, than the debate. So far as it could be ob served, nota single case of whisper ing occurred during the performance. At this period the County Superin tendent brought to the notice of the meeting several points, concerning which the School Laws of the Sta.te might be made to meet the necessi ties of the times ; whereupon J. B. Pifer moved that a committee be ap pointed to draft a resolution, or a se ries of resolutions, embodying the changes and additions deemed nec essary by the present assemblage, in order to induce the officers of school districts to take a keener interest in, and3scharge their duties more faith fully. Acting on this motion the Chairman appointed a committee of five, consisting of J. B. Pifer, C. Tucker, T. Kimsey, Major Howe and L. Mason, to draft the resolutions. The chairman then Invited any of the people present to give an expres sion of their views upon the subject, of the duties of school district officers, and the best method of securing a faithful discharge of the same. E. Randal arose and made a few re marks; criticising the teachers rath er severely, declaring there waB too much levity in he remarks of some of those present. He expressed the opinion that he had but little faith in the abilities of the present Legisla ture to make any favorable changes in our present school laws, and advis ed waiting until we had seen speci mens of their law-making- abilities be fore we urged the matter upon them. J. Curtis then arose and said it was his opinion something should be done to act as a check upon the treasurers of school districts, in regard to the manner in which, and for what pur poses, the money coming within their control was expended. He then be came personal in his remarks, reflect ing upon the treasurer of his own district, upon which the aforesaid treasurer, V. Burke, interrupted him and in a Very vehement and forcible manner denied his (Mr. Curtis') state ment, which created a momentary confusion. Order being restored Mr. Curtis made a few remarks, more gen eral in their tendency, and then left the floor. Several other citizens were called upon, but declined expressing an opinion. The Messrs. Dye then favored the audience with a lively, rattling piece of music which had such a powerful effect upon a boy in the audience, that it was impossible to prevent him from dancing. An individual at tempted to hold him, but he acted as if entranced, and still continued his efforts, and upon being released he kept the most exact time with the music; his movements were natural aud graceful, aud it was evidently impossible for him to control himself. The chairman, Dr. McGrew, then read the programme for the following day, after which the meeting adjourn ed, to meet again in tho morning at 8i o'clock. SATURDAY MORNING. Sabbath School song, "Let me die in harness," by Miss Sadie McCand less and J. R. Dye, with organ ac companiment. Class drill in reading, conducted by G. S.

The majority of the teachers participating favored the system of giving one or two verses as a lesson, having it thor oughly studied, aud then drilling the pupils to perfection in it. Class drill in arithmetic, conducted by Leroy Mason, participated In by the friends of education present, oc cupied an hour of time, in a very in teresting and instructive manner. Mr. C. Tucker and Mr. W. Neely, par ticularly assisting in making it inter esting. Music, song "Shabby Genteel," by J. R. Dye. On motion the meeting adjourned for dinner. AFTERNOON.

Music by the Messrs. Dye. On motion a committee on general resolutions was appointed by tho chairman, consisting of Jas. Tucker, W. P. Frfes and J. O. Bedford. A discussion on the subject of "School Government" now ensued, f participated in by several of the teachers and friends present, which created quite a lively interest. The committee on resolutions as to what points in our school laws need revising now reported, but the chair man failing to hand over a copy of the resolution I am unable to give them in full. The substance is as follows: That directors and treasurers of school districts should receive a, remunera tion for their services; also that a penalty be attached to their neglect of duty. Ending by a resolution to send a copy of them to our State Senator, Hon. Gep.-JR. Shook, to take such ac tion upon as he should deem proper. The committee on general resolu tions now reported as follows : Jiesalved, That we tender our thanks to to the citizens of this vicin ity for the interest they have mani fested in this institute; and for their kind attention, and hospitality to teachers and others attending the in stitute. JResolvcd, That wo tender our thanks to the Messrs. Dye and Miss Sadie McCaudless for their kindness in furnishing music, both vocal aud instrumental.
