We call J attention to the notice of the meeting of the Franklin county Education Society, and the proceedings of the Executive committee. The meeting takes place at Blooming Grove, on the 20 instant. We again appeal
to the teachers of common schools in this couuty, and ask them if this is not an enterprise in which they are interested? If it is not likely to elevate their profession? If it does not promi se through their instrumentality, a great deal of good to the public? And finally, if they will not eo-operate? At all events, the Society will be sustained, and the people stirred up to reflect upon the subject of education, and the competency of teachers; and when they find a man hanging back from such an association, they will very properly conclude, either that he is afraid to exhibit his qualifications in public, or that he has no public spirit or desire for improvement, and in either case,
A loco foco county convention, was held in the Court House on Saturday last, at which were present rather more than "seven men and one boy." We saw nothing remarkable in the proceedings, but the half unanimous resolution to support Tom Smith for Congress with
out a convention. This more than shows some of their fears. They dread a convention because they fear they have not the strength
in the district. In this county they can afford to hold conventions, 'because they are confi
dent of their majority. Again, Judge Johnston
is beyond doubt the choice of the locos of this county. Yet, they so fear their weakness that they will not press his claims, lest they drive Smith's friends from them, and ensure a de-
feat, which under any circumstances would be
more than probable. Our friend Shoup made a speech on the occasion. We are much mistaken if he could not conduct a Congressional canvass to better purpose than such an ill looking ignoramus as Tom Smith.

DISTRICT CONVENTION. Owing to some misunderstanding this body
did not meet on Wednesday last. In some of the counties our friends have no press, and for that reason could not prepare as early as was proposed. It will not be known when the convention meets until some action is had in the counties of Ripley, Decatur and Switzerland. We hope our friends there will attend to this matter, fix a day and give us notice, and we think we can venture to say that the delegates from Franklin will hold themselves in readiness t attend. Some of our townships have as yet had no meetings. This delay will af
ford therr time. We hope the good wings cf

names of men who will not fail to attend such men are already appointed from Posey,

the failure to meet on the 5th, but will resolve
to go whenever the time is settled, which will
probably be between the middle and last of

The Depth of Meanness. Some two weeks
ago a poor soul named Davis, to whom nature
had denied the faculties of hearing and speech
visited our town, and enlisted the sympathies of our citizens in his behalf, as he was not on
ly unfortunate, but extremely poor. Among
his other misfortunes, was that ofbeing a loco
foco; not that we think a man who can hea
and speak may not be fortunate as a democrat
for he may get some office, and perhaps if he
does not he msy be happy. Bvit one who has
not these gifts, is not only sure never to get an office, but is likely to be led into bad company, and to suffer therefrom, as the sequel
will show. While Davis was here he concluded to have a number of charts printed, giving some account of the method of educating deaf mutes, and showing the modern manual alphabet. For this purpose he visited a neighboring office, contracted for the priming, and furnished the most important part of the type himself. Now this poor wretch picked up a precarious living by selling these charts at a bit a piece. See how he was treated by these democratic, people loving editors and printers.
After they had printed the requisite num
ber of charts, they struck off the same mat
ter, with Davis' type, as the fourth rage of their paper; thus effectually cutting offhis sales 60 far as their paper was distributed. They received the stipulated price, and, as if to add insult to injury, sent their paper ont with a notice of what they had done, and requesting their subscribers to buy of poor Davis to buy

5S now prepared to offer to the citizens, and public generally, the best article of furni
ture in the way of Bedsteads ever offered in this part of the Country. This newly invented
Bedsteads possesses the following decided advantages over all others heretofore in use: They can be p:t up or taken down in one
fourth the time that is required to do the urns with others, and without the possibility of a
mistake. They are more firm and less apt to become loose and worthless; but on the con
trary, are always drawing tighter and without a single harbor for vermin. As soon as their superiority over the common kind becomes
known, and duly appreciated, they must ox
necessity take the place of those now in use, or at least to a very great extent.
Those w ishing to purchase Bedsteads are re
quested to call and examine them at S. & C. Coffin's Ware House at the Basin of the Canal
at Brookville, where they will be kept constantly for sale. They will be sold for cash or country produce at cash price.
He also keeps on hand at his ware rooms in
Lawrenceburgh, an excellent assortment of
Cabinet Furniture of all kinds, which will be delivered at Brookville, or any place along the
line of the canal, in good order.
