Clarendon, Sapt. of the public schools at Fremont, deliv ered a lecture at the Congregational i church Thnrsdav evening Last. The 1 keynote of his address was that the ' theory and modes of education must conform to the prevalent idea of citi- ' zenship. He made a strong plea for , the development of character as a I unit, and the progressive attainment of a constantly rising ideal of human t nature. Messrs. C C. Valentine and My- ' ron v..

Messrs.

It seems that the lessees have been running the business at a loss all the t aAllsnn mil warn mnt finanj?ll qKIa ' to do so anv longer.

There is no doubt that many of the stations oa the main line should be renewed, bat the diffi culty is that at present we have hard work to get sufficient money to pay onr .wages and other necessary ex penses. It will, therefore, be im peesible for as to nuke any improve ments until a revival in the business of the country eaables ns to increase our earnings. Yoors truly, S.E. Calxaway. A bridge meeting was held Satur day evening by a number of business men ef the city. The Platte bridge was under discussion. We do not uaderstaad that a project has been folly matnred yet The first fmt to a good market town is that the reads leading into it be kept in ftrts- clam ceaditioa, and we are jlad to see t na interest rrriTedia this matter. i Mr. Kibler is plastering his house. Beaker wet for stacking grain, bat it makes the grass grow. Mr. Oken steps mere carefully now than- he did before ae stepped on that sail. Mr. Kibler ha3 an Adams wind mill at his hoase, with piping running to his barn and hog lot. "We have plenty of. rain now-a-days, whica helps the corn to shoot. Corn is locking very well ; it bids fair to make from 40 to 50 bushels per acre. Miss Sampson's school closed Fri day last. Quite a number of the parents and others met at the school hoase to listen to the closing exer cises, which consisted of recitations, declamations and select readings, also a paper prepared by the scholars, in terspersed with vocal and instrumen tal mnsic, after which they all repaired to Wm. Van Owen's, where a boun tiful dinner was spread under the trees, served up with ice cold lemon ade There were over fifty present and all pronounced it a good time. Perhaps ; Mr. Moncnef thinks I did nim an mjusUce. I did not intend to. After I had mailed my letter to the Jocrxal I learned that he had been here; but then I can't take back anv thing I said. The winter-schools were not visited at all. Bat he says the law does not require him to visit the schools but once a year. Well, if he never does anything only what the law requires, the people will be thankful. Bat I think that in all cemties that are as thickly settled as Tlatte, the efllce of county super iaUadent should be done away with and each precinct, have a superinten dent of its own, a good practical teacher who should visit the school twice each term. The expence need not be much if any more, and the practical benefits that would result would more than over-balance the extra expense. Of course all those wjio are aspiring to the office of caunty superintendent will object. H. Meal Eatmte Xraauriers. Prepared specially for the Jocex al Y Gas. G. Becher & Co.

Moncner is to be congrat- ulated upon its success. Assisted by i frof. aientme and Miss Austin, the formei for five years a teacher at Ne braska City, the latter for seven years superintendent of schools at Wisner, also by Prof. Backus of this city, an educator of experience and good judgment, the institute was a success each day and hour, so far as the in structors were concerned. There seemed to observers on the outside more than the usual amount of ani mation, stir and interest. We have not space for the names of all the teachers present, but they deserve well of their constituency for the time and attention they give to perfecting themselves in a profession as honora- ois Mti Haexui as aay among men. All henor to sneh. The gliding years jrill bring them iacreased wisdom aad tfct rewards ef dsty done. WERMUTH & -DEALERS IX- Heavy and Shelf Hardware, Stoves and Tinware, Pomps, Guns and Ammunition.
