Terre Haute, State Normal School, Etc.,

Editob Union : Among the cariosities of Terre Haute, the fourth city in importance and population in Indiana, is the artesian. well. The waters flow from a depth of 1,800. They are not pure. The next most interesting to me are the rolling mills, nail works and fire departments, nil of which are skill, fully managed. The Normal School building is a commodious edifice—the grandest of the kind I ever saw. There are about 150 students in attendance. The present term will close Deccrnbcr;2lst, winter term will begin January Ist, 1878. -AHwho have the time, end or purpose in view will findit profitable to attend this institution, but if they expect to learn everything in one term, this is pot the place to come; for the object of this school is to thoroughly prepare students for teaching in district and graded schools. If thorough drills are desired, and one is willing to spend two /ears at this institutiob, I think all such will Bed as they never saw before— The faculty are courteous too pH. yet very exact in recitations and their dealings with students. The course ot drill and study now requires at least two years to complete it. Jasper county has five representatives in the school this

term..
