South Kirkland. Mb. Editor : It has been some time since I wrote for your most valuable paper. I wish to state briefly a few facts. lam niuct interested in educational matters and trying to eduoate my children. Wo, as patrons and teachers and school officers ought to be more interested in the education of the youth than we are. The work is for us. Give to them the treasure that cannot be taken away. To educate truly is what we should aim at. To do this we must educate morally, physically and intellectually. Now, what stimulates me in part is that I learn that our Superintendent is doing many things that he ought not to do. lie should be our example. Do you know what the Bible says about the character that tries to take away your good name that never can be restored ? “Steal your purse they steal trash,' says one writer. I heard G. W. A. L. make a speech in Kirkland, and I thought he would do unto others as he would wish to be done by. But alas ! He wanted to be most too pious. He approached one of the teachers of this township in away that was very wrong indeed: “Have you got your license with you? Send it to me or bring it in. I want to see it. You have no record on the bcoks.” Giving him to understand that he was the Rabi, Alpha and Omega. Now, this was all talked over in the presence of all—speactators and members and members of the institute. Why did he not see him privately, and then he would not left the impression he did (the one of trying to teach school without a license). Now, Mr. G. W. A. knew just as well as he. did that he held a two years' license, as too many saw it. Now, the teacher alluded to is Mr. Mills. He passed an examination in AVells county and holds a license for 18 months, and I know it to be a fact that he is one of the teachers from Wells county that gave entire satisfaction ; and in this township he is efficient and industrious. He has done a great deal as a teacher is the reason why I don't think it right that Mr. Luckey should be so important. After he saw the different licenses he held he dropped the subject. Further, he told every one he met all about it before he told Mills. I suppose his intent was to make some one believe that Mr. Walters was so intimate with Mills that he would write him out a license without examining him. So he pounces upon him in public. Further, Mr. Mills passed an examination in February last, and behold! he received a blank. The first time in his life, he says, that he failed, and I have good reason to believe it, as he holds too many 21 and 18 months’ licenses. Alas! Mr. Luckey, 1 suppose, told that he failed long before he sent him the blank. All knew it before Mills did. Now, I appeal to this intelligent corps of teachers, is that right ? I know what the public thinks of this. Some say another electioneering scheme. Some think it is because Mills eame out against him in 1879, and some far worse opinions than that, I am sorry to say. Mr. Mills is not the only teacher that has been treated in this manner. 1 don't know who is injured the most, Mr. Mills or Mr. Luckey. 1 am inclined to think that all understand the intent.

Some one told G.SV. A. that Mills was going to try him another race in June, 1881. Mr. Mills said he never thought of that. I believe in ail candor that Mr. Mills will pass a better examination to-day than the all-wise and ever to be adorable G. W. A. lie has given as good success as a teacher us any we ever had in this township. He taught in District No. 5, waking up an interest and advancing the pupils just as fast, I think, as any man could. The grammar class got through, the class in Stoddard’s mental got through, White's arithmetic finished before school was out, and equally as well in other branches. He closed his school last Saturday a week. The entertainment was a good one, there being about 45 or 50 exercises; being assisted by school No. 4, of which were Mr. Brown, Mr. Pollin, Mr. McGlochland and others of whom arc scienced in what they undertake, especially in speaking, singing and soforth. These young men will certainly make good educators. I must say of school No. 5, as well of other schools in the township, will turn out some good scholars. Go on ; you will be rewarded; don't get discouraged. As Mr. Merryman said, “an education is not had in a single day nor a single term but by constant labor.’’ I will close for this time, although not done. Now I wish to hear from those young men and ladies who are trying tn educate themselves. I would like to have an answer to my few stammering remarks, which is a good way to improve ourselves. A Spectator. — * — t Badly Bitten.—Peter Kieffer, corClinton and Bennett Streetts, Buffalo, says : 1 was badly bitten by a horse a few days ago and was induced by a friend who witnessed the occurrence to try Dr. Thomas Eclectric Oil. It relieved

the pain almost immediately, and in four days the wound was completely healed Nothing can be better for fresh wounds. Sold by Dorwin A Ilolthouse. — Take -it-Easy and Live-Longare brothers, and all are related to Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has lengthened many a life.

The value of medicines compounded , by a thoroughly educated physician and . scientific chemist must be apparent to all. As such we recommend Dr. J. C. : Ayer s Cathartic Tills. Public confidence in them has steadily increased, . until now their use can be said to be universal. Great and permanent popularity does not come without great merit. Our experience convinces us that Ayer’s Pills are superior to any others in all the uses for which a cathartic medicine is employed. They are pleasant to take and are perfectly safe, sure and effectual. Ayer's Pills satisfy all the requirements of a reliable family physic and the timely use undoubtedly prolongs many lives and promotes the health and comfort of thousands.— Northern Ohio Democrat. Very DAXGEBors—F. Burrows, of the firm of Burrows & Winstanly, Sarnia and wilkesport, writes that he was cured of a very dangerous case of inflammation of the lungs solely by the use of five bottles of Eclectric Oil. Feels great pleasure in recommending it to the public, as he had proved it, for many of the diseases it mentions to cure, through his friends, and in nearly every instance it was effectual.

Good Reasons for ths Doctor's Faith. Mokkob, Ga., March 28, 1880. We have for twelve months been prescribing (“Swift's Syphilitic Specific”) in the treatment of Syphilis and many other diseases for which it is recommended, and the results have been most satisfactory, not having been disappointed in a single instance. We think, for all diseases it is recommended to cure it stands without a peer, and that all the medical provession will, sooner or later, be forced to ackowledge it in the treatment of Syphilis, ns a sine qua non. N. L. Galloway, M. D. J. T. Robinson, M. D. Atlanta, Ga., May 22, 18« 9.

In diseases of the pulmonary organs a safe and reliable remedy is invaluable. Aykr’s Cherry Pkctoral is such a remedy, aud no other soemiuently merits the confidence of the public. It is a scientific combination of the medicinal principles and curative virtues of the finest drugs, 1 chemically united, g£ such power as to ins nr® the greatest possible efficiency and uniformity of results.

In ordinary Coughs, Colds, Soi© i-Liroat, Bronchitis, Influenxa, Clergyman s Sore Throat, Asthma, Croup, and Catarrh, the effects of Ama’s Chebky Pectoral are magical, and multitudes are annually preserved from serious illness by its timely and faithful use. It should be kept at ha’ud in every household for the protection it affords in sudden attacks. In Whoopiiig - cough and Consumption there is 110 other remedy so efficacious, soothing, and helpful. Low prices are inducements to try some o! the many mixtures, or syrups, made of cheap and ineffective ingredients, now offered, which, as they contain no curative qualities, ran afford onlv temporary relief, and are sure to deceive and disappoint the patient. Diseases of the throat and lunge demand active and effective treatment; and it is dangerous experimenting with unknown and cheap medicines, from the great liability that these diseases may, while so trifled witn, | tecome deeply seated or incurable. Ise , Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and you may , confidently expect the best results. It is a standard medical preparation, of known and acknowledged curative power, and is as cheap as its careful preparation ana fine ingredients will allow. Eminent physicians, knowing its composition, prescribe it in their practice. The test of half a century La 3 proven its absolute certainty to cure all pulmonary complaints not already beyond the reach of human aid. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
