Tbe paper is published twice s month, has a large agricultural correspondence in the South. j It. was our pleasure to spend a j few pleasant hours at the home of | Mr, John Hill, Sr., last Sunday ev ; ening. Judge Hill, his wife and ; daughter, Mrs. Owen Chambers, i were present. Mr. Hill, Sr., and : his wife, though both ripeaing in year*, are enjoying exceedingly good health. A man cauio in the Journal of fice the other day. lie had not boon in the room a minute, until we knew that v.*e were in t.h-5 prest nee of ft rnan of ‘‘function.” His firs! inquiry was to know if the* Journal was ifiot making lobs of money.' The next thing was to point out a “bad typographical error” ita last j week’s paper, and to mildly sug- I gost that a competent proof reader I and local writer would improve the paper and secure many new sub scribers. This was admitted. lie was asked to write a local on spring gardening, and to see how quick ho could get it ready. In one hour by the office clock he came back in a sweat and laid down liio following item. Here it is verbatum: “It h with Profound and Someshus ple zieur that we Notisirish Infers and sweet’uns is being planted.

Here wears, enjoying a moder ate degree of prosperity, and in fact, doing well enough financially, with no school! Let us awake from the Rip Van Winkle sleep that seems to have overtaken us and ask ourselves a few honest questions. Ist. Are wo too poor to pay a teacher? N. We can have fine heuses, and fine clothes; we in duJge even ia 1 usuries. It is not poverty. 2nd. Is it because we have not children enough? Mo, the country is full of them, and they are multi plying with incredible rapidity. 3rd. Do our children know enough already? No, they are grow ing ia ignorance. There is hardly u boy under 10 years of ago in the community, th... can extract the square root of a given number off iiand. Is not this true? “’lds a pity” —a shame! 4th. Yfhat is the mut ter wilh us? Answer.—We do not appreciate education; we do not realize what an awful responsibili ty is upon us.—that of educating our children.
