EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT

Peamanihip. * m fa■ ** muelx. ... : One of lli« erroneous itloan that prevail in regard to thin art in that, it* value is small .compared with other branches*, that h is of lass importance oanslderiH] as an art or ns a science. There are several reason* why this Is not true. One «of these Is that ns a branch of pri- ■ in ary education it contains wilhin Hs<‘l! the elements of art culture, and is of itself art culture. As a foundation for tiiis 1 efitiiit" a»ui cit- \ infilling cuTturclt demands our re\rt*ect ami attention; hut in this ago ifhe bread and butter consideration reems to outweigh any and every ether in the minds ol the people—that is, the majority ot the people. Hence, we must ho able to show that penmanship as a |H-actical implement for see tiring Wealth ami position is of value. We need only to look around to see the proof that this is true. It is safe to say that |o a lady or gentleman seeking employment there is no other one accomplishment that will so greatly til* so readily aid as a good handwriting. It is an accomplishment that always speaks promptly and •well for its possessor, opening auany ways for a beginning, ami, wheu aided by other valuable atlainitidits and united with industry and Integrity, will carry the jv>htesaor onward to places ot protit sind distinction. Many of our most prominent and succo.suful nun owe their first position and its success to a good handwriting. And how many applicants for the position of book keeper, clerk, or accountant, have been rejected on account ot up awkward, illegible handwriting it would be impossible to tell. When applications for a-position are sent by mail only those well and legibly wrillcp are considered. A good band or a bad one turns the scale, aud while it opens up the, way to success to one it effectually bars it to tl»e other. To the acute yyc of the employer it not only shows thccultuie of the applicant, but is really an index to that applicant’s character fer precision, ,care and completeness in his work. „W e may thus see how a thing may be artistic and yet practical; how it may be an art and yet be a valuable auxiliary in the matter-of-faot affairs of life. In this series of short articles it is impossible to state how far we may gel in one of them. The- fact seems to he tbat the objections to the growth and encouragement of this art arc so lgany that it .is neecssary pMicfc dii.g with tjis original intenJnon, viz: to give the best methods of teaching it, that we answer one by one the various objections urged against it. .Until wo have fully answered these, we feel that not much ot importance can he accomplished by giving modes ot teaching an art that is neglected and abused.

Institute.

The County Institute i* close at hand, even at the doors. Teacher*, let us all hear this in mind and arrange to attend. The law wisely provides that all schools shall be closed during its session, so we will have n$ pretext or excuse for not attending. Besides, it will greatly benelitus. From the nervetaxing work of the school room, or llte restless loneliness of vacation, or the heat of the harvest Held or kitchen, will we come to exchange our cherry how-do-you dos, and grasp each offer’s hands in a cordial, hearty, welcome? A long year has passed since wc met —a year full of aching, weary hours, and, may be, failures, and of bright sunny days and many well-earned victories, and rich with experience. Come, let us talk them over. Don't you think we are too careless concerning ihesc-instinues o* associations? Is it a loss of time to attend them, or will we no*, feel encouraged, strengthened and cheered i»v contact and intercourse with our fellow workers? Won’t we become inspired with higher, nobler motives, enthused with an iolenscr earnestness, ami return to our schtiol rooms with lightened hearts and broader views, the sunshine with us even into the hearts of the little, cl ildren? Teachers, as a class, isolate thenirelves too much—too randy come together and exchange ideas, dis--e.fltw theories and catiipsre experieiiccs; this is why wc become so ruijjjFy foslfized. Again, then, let me say come. Wit who aro acquainted Will be delighted to meet, and it will delight those who are not, to become acquainted with us, 1 know. A Tkach ua. Every teacher iu the county should attend,, the institute next week- Be prefsmit the first day and remain till the last. It is your duty to come.

It will seem something like putting on airs to people ol neighbor? ing towns, no doubt, but it is the truth that Reusselaer will have an opera house before the amusement season begins. Thu foundations aro laid and the brick walls arc being rapidly builded tiiat are to support and enclose the place ot public amusement Mr.J.H. Willey, of Willey and Sigler, merchants, who are now erecting a fine storeroom on Washington street, sailed into The Union office this morning and said that they had decided to alter the entire plan ot the second story ot their new building, and make an opera house of it. The story will be twenty feet, in height, forty feet wide by eighty feet deep. It will be arranged in form of an oval amphitheatre, with stage, galleries, orchestra, etc., etc. It will have entrance and exit both front | and rear. There is probably not | another town of one thousand inhabitants in the state with as good hall for the purposes as Rensselaer will have when this is eomple ed. Friday night last Joseph Doolittle broke into Ilufty’e store, l*ilot Grove, Newton county, ten miles west of Rensselaer, ami stoic SSO. Then he stole a horse from Mr. Crisler and rode to tow n. lie was cornered, confessed to taking the money and made restitution of nearly all of it. A warrant was then procured for his arrest, hut w hile it was being read to him by a slow constable Doolittle dodged into a cornfield. After hiding about frrrtycight hours-, —during which time lie had nothing IS eat, he surrendered to justice Miller, Who duly hound him over to the circuit court. Doolittle is a bad egg. It seems almost like supereroga lion to direct the notice of the readers of this paper to the lumber yard advertisement of B. F, Furguson which appears elsewhere. Mr, Furguson’s lumber yard at Kensselaer is at the westernmost extension -of the railroad track. The proprietor has had extensive experience in the business,has intimate knowledge of the markets, and commands unusual facilities for purchase and trade. The public will find him a fair and liberal and pleasant man to deal with. James 7, Zimmerman, Franklin Zimmerman, John Zimmerman and George Zimmerman, father and three sons living in Barkley township, had . a preliminary hearing before Justice McColly last Friitay. 'oh a charge of grand laicenv, and were recognized to answer in the circuit court. * Gilbert Hurley testifies* tbai lhey_ and he feloniouslykilled a heifer the property of Simeon Dowell and Louis fCern, which they appropriated to their own use.

WJUiain F. lloes, of J'nlley it Hoes, wholesale manufacturer* of boot* and shoes, Lafayette, was in town, yesterday and this morning. The advertisement of their goods will be seen elsewhere in this papi*}. Their hoots and .shoes are so well known in this region That little is left to be said iu their praise. It is oi.ly truth to say they arc the best. On Monday of the present week Willis J. lines, the popular druggist, was married to Miss Louisa M. Paris, daughter of Berry Paris, Esq. The happy couple immediately boarded the train tor Niagara Falls. The best wishes of scores of friends arc breathed for these two most excellent people who are IrEhcefortliTo"lie as one. A Winamac man was over into Jaspor county this week to sell a clover-bullcr, but found too little clover grown for a market. Jasper county farmers will give more- attention to this industry in the future than they have done in p.vt years. There cannot be a well ordered farm in our latitude without its clover field. On Monday a daughter was burn to Simon P. Thompson, Esq., and the father is doing comfortably well. It is anticipated that he will be able to attend to business again iu a few days. Sympathetic friends are profuse in congratulation. Charley Harley of Delphi was in town last Friday and established an agency for -the sale of Delphi lime. F. \V. Bedford is agent and can supply it in any quantity desired—by the barrel or bulk. Jay Williams of Ker.tland and Mr. Stockton of LaFayette were in town Saturday. The last named gentleman intimated that he might move to Rensselaer and engage iu the grocery and provision trade. Married Ang. 7th, at the residence of S. E. Bassick, Bosita, Colo., Mr. S. 11. Chase and- Miss M. A. Walters, daughter of Mrs. E. C. Bassiek. Miss Mollie was a Rensselaer lass.

Schuyler Colfax Thornton arrived home from Ft. Scott, Kansas, “yesterday evening, having been recalled by the prolonged sickness of his father, C. C. Thornton, Esq. Silas L. Swain relumed home one day last week after an extended visit in New Mexico. Think lie will not move out to that region of aridity and barren hillsides. Isaac Lowman, one of the best fellqflws living between the green earth and empyrean blue, is in town this afternoon enjoying the society of friends. Mrs. Geo. Akley, of Barkley township, rocciitly from Ohio eounty, died of puerperal insanity,Tuesday evening, after ten days’ suffering. Th ree members of George Bensey’s family, in Barkley township, are A daughter is lv ill of typhoid pneumonia. On Tuesday last David Wyatt of Union township was thrown from a wagon and sustained dislocation of the shoulder. Grandmother Harrington of Union township is very sick with a disease of the heart. A new school house is being built in the Harrington district, Union township. Justice L. E. Barnethy, North Judson,Starke county, was in town yesterday. Delphi lime is best. Bedford sells it m bulk or by the barrel. Michael Shull/., Union township, buried a child last Tuesday. IX B. Mtl’er is in Valparaiso attending law business.

Miller, Pres’t. Noble J. York, Sec. A correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal writing from Kinsley, Kan., says that out of the 2GO persons who were traveling with the so-called editorial excursion from Indiana, only ten were editors in fact. The Union last week guessed the editors at one in twenty. But from tills statement it seems there were twenty-five impostors to one member of the profession. And this, too, after the sifting out at Kansas City of those who were too proud to pay a cent for masquerading. They were considered a fraud by ttie correspondent, and designated ‘‘locusts” by the Journal.
