eolicerHiiueour people, as connected with the Convention held at Jasper on the 27th. I lmv loiif? since learned that gome enmity, seems to exist in political and eouimcrcil circles, between the towns of Huntingbnrtf and Jasper; this is quite natural, timl is usually the result, wIh'ii mo little towns in the saints county, are o neur the same size, as tlio villus ju!t mentioned ; and, I have frequently noticed that it U generally better, in the end, for both places; for as the two sections aspire to excel they expti.o their lines, inorwse their buim induct
iimniirration, and by virtue of the premi
ses, the county builds up. and tins ttque,
tfives increased nnnetus to her towns, i s
no town can increase to auy consider bl decree without a prosperous prudent, energetic clas of farmers around it

the ballot in local matter, as all these
thinsfs between the two aspiring sections
will be voted for or against, as cfteeLs
the sections, rather than the matter at
istte. Your correspondent was told by
several, upon his arrival at Jasper, on
Saturday last, that the Huntiiigbursr delegation came oil the train and up
town, to be met with scowls and an un
welcome cold "how do you do!" which.
under tin) burn and bustle, incident to
such occasions was, most likely, not
noticed, but after the Convention con
veucd. aud had elected a permanent
Chairman, who, on motion, appointed a
part of the nccessarv committees am
delegates, then business (after dinner) began in earnest, when it at once became
apparent that some body was scared; the
t, . iitxud motions of a number of per hhm taking an active part in Convention
were nt such a character as to plain
snow that a previous caucus film care fully prepared a programme coveringal
the little immune to run the " inoclmu1
on the day of Convention, but they for

While the government of tin school Is what is wrong with ot.c, others rind no
fault with that, but censure tlm te.iPltci
for a dozen other things. One parent
does not like his nietliou of htrueii
eholar. ami ssvs the teacher im no
more wise than to try to teacn tin
hildreu to read before they n spell.
Two or thA do not believe ho begins
school earflP enough in tho morning nor
teaches late enough in the afternoon,
aud the recesses aro too long; or, per-: chance, they may fault him for the opposite and think their children are kept in
school entirely too long bull others
think he has the " big head and if he
should happen to hire a janitor to keep
the school-room ciemtctl ;iud bin id tires,
he is pronounced lazy. Those and a thousand other annoyances,! he offsprings of ignorance and sometimes malice, con
tinually harass the teachers ami hinder their success.
Hut, in addition to those external in
fluences above emimentted, that are
thorns strewn in the toucher s pathway.
there are others more iiniuetlinto which
also harass u. One of these is the irregular attendance of pupils, the evil
consequences of which wo have neither
the time nor space to notice. It isoucot
the most serious obstacles in the way of
our success in the countrv. It is the
cause of a large portion of the disadvan
tages under which we labor. Its direful
effects are severely felt iu a majority of
country schools. It is impossible to
grade or classify a school properly where
it exists. It imposes upon the teacher
much extra labor to interest the irregular
pupils, and to assist them to keep up
with their class. It causes an abate
tneut of interest in those who do attend regularly, aud demoralizes the affairs of
a school generally.
Another difficulty, with which we are compelled to contend, isj getting; parents
to supply their children with proper
text-nooks, bomo ennte to school am
bring books not iu uniformity with those
In use in the school ; or, perhaps, bring
no books at all, and their parents, of couree, expect them to learn just as fast as others who are supplied with proper hooks. If thoy find their children are
not improving as fast us others in their class, the teacher, of course, must bear the bluuie, regardless of the poor supplv

Trippet, aud against whom I know nothing; still. lf.ay the proceedings in the convention concerning these "two persons ware irregular aud unfair, and I learn was the result of an impression on the part of our Jasper friends, that the " Tluntingbtirgeis" were going into that Convention packed for llostettlcr and Taylor; and, your correspondent i.paks '.advisedly, when he tells you that thai was a false impression," for with the exception of a vkrv fkw, we .were for Cobb iu the full acceptation of the terms of the resolution introduced, upon
which me ueiegaies were msiructeu tor him, " first, last, and all the time." We were alo for Gray aud Willard. and the only difference between the feelings oi tour people and ouk people, wtm as to the candidates for Prosecuting Attorney. Yob were for Mr. Trippet, we as a delegation, had not decided, aud if an opportunity had offered, votes from our delegation for both gentlemen would have leen the result, as any one from here will bear me out, and by reason of a falpe impression as above indicated, some hard looks and feelings toward our
folks was the result, while Pike? ami Du
bois also, are not in a good fix to arrange
for compromises? between each other
as a joint legislative section. It is with a feeling of more than ordi
imrj- icj;rei ami sauness, mat we are
called upon to announce" the death of Proresor Mathias Kempf, formerly and for many years, of Ferdinand, but for
wveral months past, of Louisville, Kv where he died of pneumonia, at 11 o'clock p. in , on Saturday, the 27th ittst.,
after six days sickness. His class of!
students followed his remains to the

ed at 8 o'clock, a. m., on Tuesday, the 30th inst. The funeral services were

Ueuce the predominance ot the one over the other will depend upon the predominance of the respective causes which produce them If wdeire more flowers than thorns, we must obliterate the causes which give origin to the thorns, i. e, those thorns which originate iu ourselves and arc ubject to our control,

we find dotting our pathway like the
thorns, may be divided into two classes
from the nature of their origin. Some
have sprung from seeds scattered bv our
selves; others have been strewn by some other kind ami tender hands for which we should return our heartfelt thanks. The
number ol flowers of the llrst class will
depend altogether upon ourselves. Wo

thorns or flowers, for our reaping arid the reaping of others bv aud by. Let us

the pathway of the little ones placed iu our care, aud for which wc shall he held

I think thero is no flower bo rich, nor
one that snottlu more encourage us to
press on in our work, than that of seeing the precious little ones, who are just beginning to try the realities of life, de
veloping, at last, into true manhood and womanhood by our care and influence. This is a flower that requires time for its maturity, aud one that only the aged and experienced teacher hag realized; it is
a flower, the awect anticipation of
which buoys us young teachcra up, aud which, (if we perform our every duty), we shall pluck by and by. IT t. Oontlnitwl.l 03" Messrs. Gardner? MeNerncv and Lansford went to Gibson county this week to be inallendanceat the examination of the two men arrested a burglars in Jaeper lat week.
