We are glad 3 to state that there is no foundation to the rumor, as the President is in excellent health. Esquire John Spalding deserves the thanks of all right thinking citisens for his prompt and sueocssful steps toward making the rowdies who created such disorder ip,our town, on Deooration Day, pay for the damage their mis-con-duct caused, and we believe he will receive them. Chicago has abolished corporeal punishment in her public schools. Chicago is to be congratulated for this humane act Her example is worthy of universal imitation.

A bottle was thrown off from the ship "Hesperia,** south of tho Azores, May 12, 1878, and was picked up at the entrance of Mobile Bay on the 22d of last month. It had, therefore, taken it & little over two years to traverse the Atlantic Equatorial current, the Carribean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, a distance of 5,500 miles, making its mean rate of travel eight miles per hour. t » 1 While Indiana has touched bottom in the divorce business, and is now improving, the New England stftes, it is said, are degenerating. Connecticut is already as bad as Indiana ever was, and the other states are fast becoming so. This shameful state of affairs has aroused publicjsen timent, and there is a determined movement to stop the downard tendency and put the states back upon the high ground thoy used to occupy. Up to the present writing not a stroke of work has been done upon tho road above the stono bridge, and we think the time hat arrived when it becomes the duty of the township committee to take the matter in hand. It is a gross outrage to the citizens of the Seashore Road that this road is so long neglected. Of one thing the people may rest assured, the Gasrttb will never lot tho matter rest until tho road is put in better condition for traveling. m to ^ t e ♦

The news that the National Democratic Convention at Cincinnati had thrown John Kelly and his followers out in the cold was received by all the right minded men of both parties with joy. If this Kelly pursues the same course that he did at the lu$t State election, the probability is that the Democrats will loose New York, but no matter what he does, or threatens to do. the convention did a wise thing in put ting him down, as a party can better afford to loose an election than it can claim the support of a decent people if it al lows such unprincipled scamps as Kelly to rule. The love of tho beautiful should" be studiously cultivated. Wherever it may be found, whether in nature or art, bow in adoration before Its pure, sweet shrine — sit at its unsandaled feet and learn the lesson it teaches. Beauty never debases, but always elevates the human mind; removes us further from evil, and nearer to God. As the fresh airs of the morning purify and make stronger the body, so does beauty develop the better qualities of the heart nnd clothe the soul in garments more dazzling and richer than diamonds. Beauty and morality are co-existent, and as Inseparable as are the waters of the two great oceans. It is ever leading us by the hand of the good tutor into paths of pleasantness and peace, and while it enlarges the understanding, gives u> larger conceptions of God and truth. The ideas of young children are largely taken from the conversation of their elders. Where true courtesy ex ists in a family, and the father and the mother are always as careful when in the presence of their children in all they dc and say as they are in company, there you will find children of refine meet, whoee young minds take in is with "hooks of steel" the beau <itol max

The wonderful growth of the independent press Indies tee the independence of thought and action that govern the masses. U is only a few years sinoe that independent journalism was thought of, and until within a short time have they in any sense been looked upon m factors in partisan battles, but now they are regarded by all leaders as the chief element of power in groat national struggles, while the one party powerful organs have become mere followers, or machines, and oro steadily loosing their power and strength. The independent voters are the balance wheel between the two great parties. To be a successful conductor a man must possoss the patience of Job, the shrewdness of a detective, and the honesty of a savings bank cashier. He it asked hundreds of questions daily, oftentimes the same one by the same person at least a dozen times, and of course he is expected to have a prompt answer and pleasant face each time. He must be continually on the lookout for tramps and beats, who, by a hundred different "rackets" seek to ride free. Then, perhaps, at some station a fine looking, ele-gantly-dressed young lady is put aboard by "papa," who asks th* h*-hf„i ---* * *\ ' • *ie can v wji a* - Vi o£ii . .fuUi Uiv twinkle in his eye, as he gives her a double seat, and crowds four men into another one, that he does noi enjoy his situation. He, however, submits, afid makes the best of it — with the young lady. These are some of the trials through which the avqr&ge conductor is obliged to pass, but there are others of which we have not the lime to speak. COMMUNICATiONS. AMUSEMENTS. C. H. June 24,* 1880. Ed. Gazbttc : The latest thing in the field is boat racing, but it will soon be banished unless a little care is exercised on the part of its friends. Some wise-ones are predicting a sure case of drowning — which mat come true —but why not look upon it ns the inevitable "his time had comet" If we always meet trouble half way what will be accomplished in our undertakings. We regard amusements as essential to health, and say to the boys 00 ah had, only beware of betting — that will end your pleasure sooner or later, unless you quit it, as all right minded people agree in their opposition to it. Don't give it too much of your time, be a little easy in your ambition, content with home competition, no more of this foreign influence ; we ore sure it tends to evil. We would not have such quietus put upon boat racing as has been put upon other harmless sports tried from time to time by our young folks. Dancing for instance, "Whew t — — - — — r — — • - — 1 .........

the unpardonable sin;" Minstrels— excommunication threatened ; Lyceum — condemned without an investigation. Many more I might mention. A shame it is that in a place like this the young are so stupid. Are they to be blamed for spending their time around the stores and bar room, when all amusements are denied them at home, and they are not allowed to meet in any public place? What tho next generation of this town will bo remains to be seen ; the present is bad enough at all hazards. Each one becomes more and more sedate and their grandmother's company preferable to that of a Lover of Fun. For Gaxbttb. A FIRST CLASS SNAKE STORY. For some two weeks past a Goshen lady has been missing eggs from her hen's nests without knowing the cause ; at last she discovered a large snake in or near one of the nosts, and at her approach he retreated. A search was at once instituted but failed to develop the whereabouts of his nnakeship. After the lapse of two or three days the writer accidentally discovered him near another nest where he was evidently waiting for a fresh supply of <*gg*. lie was at oncp killed and measured, proving to be five feet nnd six inches long. Ho was afterward out up into several pieces and found to contain four hen's eggs and a piece of red cedar, eight and three-quarter inches long, by one and three-eigth inches square at the large or square end, the other part being round having been turned in a lathe by the writer loat winter. In the top or round end waa a nail projecting from the end of the wood about one-half inch. This delicate moreel had been swallowed square end foremost, snd verily quantity rather than quality was the rule of jndg merit with this snske,

J., June 18, 1880. COLORADO LETfB*. Conejos, Col., June 14th, 1880. Dear Gaxbttb ; I have again reepbed civilized life, and in a town wbiob is about the size of the Court House, but a far different place indeed. In a previous letter I described a Mexican house but I did not then know the character of the people who inhabit them. Oar town of Conejos is oompoasd of What we call "daubee," or Mexico* mud houses and cheap wooden saloons, which are packed with men from all soption* of the world, engaged in drinking^ gambling, and other things which are generally in oompany with these view. We also have a Mexican church, a convent, photograph gallery, blacksmith shop, livery stable, and several lotels. About one and a half miles froxi the town is the railroad station, called 8a n Antonia. When we arrived about 10 weeks kgo there was nothing here but the station, and that had no platform; now there is the San Antonia Hotel kept by two enterprising gentlemen from Tennessee, and about 50 houses, and a spirit of enterprise, far exceeding that of certain Eastern towns T could name, pervades the whole village. About 30 car loads of freight arrive daily, and this being the last town on the line of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, a great deal of the freight that arrives for Rico, Animas City, and the I San Juan mining di*l ***"" <84/i t- w*seated upon the wheeler. Flour is quoted at $15 per cwt in Rico and other things in proportion. We had quite an excitement ibis week, caused by a despatch from Traes Peidras, which is 30 miles South from here, in New Mexico, saying that the Indians and Mexicans had joined and were on the war-path. Tie cutters were warned by the authorities to leave the timber ; one fhan was scalped, and today we hear that the Indians are surrounding that town in squads. I see by the papers that you are having very, hot weather in the East ; until recently we have had ice formed every night, and even now one will pull the blankets up over him about 2 A. M. We had asnow storm about two weeks ago which lasted until the enow was 8 or 10 inches deep. The highest mountain in the State is in sight, and on its peak we see the "beautiful enow" the year around. We have also been visited by forest fire out here ; one firm of railroad contractors in the mountains had the camp outfit and commissary swept away in 10 minutes, with a loss of at loAst $12,000. When first discovered the fire was about three-quarters of a mile off, but before the team could be unharnessed from a wagon load of powder, which stood in front of the commissary, the fire had reached them. It is so dry out here that the farmers have to irrigate their lands. In some instances the water is carried ten miles by narrow ditches. Even in the towns we have to jump ditchep in older to reach the Post Office.

While I have been writing, a despatch has been received from the front, saying that the Indians have killed many more men and It&xnpeded over 5000 head of thcep and cattle. Parties at the front are sending for arms, and the excitement is great, but no fears ore entertained here. Stille Eljlredge. To Young Men Seeking a Liberal and Scientific Eaucatton. These scholarships belong to tincounties. The expenses of them arc paid from the fund created by tho U. S. grant of lands for the establishment of Colleges for the benefit of Agriculture and the Mechanic Art*. In New Jersey the fund is held by the State, and Abe interest on it is applied to pay the tuition fees for forty students. The f>u ruber of Students from each of the different counties is in proj>ortion to its representation in the legislative nouse of Assembly. These scholarship* are eagerly sought after in the counties where their advantages have been experienced, while in other counties there does not appear to be any interest felt in them. There is a great deal of cnthuMawn amongst the students of the school and they are doing admirably well. The graduates are finding the benefits of their training in qualifying them for intelligent work, and the counties are receiving advantages from these young men, who are educated in soienoe and its application to industrial aria. The following tabular stateroom! show* (|) the number of scholarships belonging to each county, (2) the number of students from each county now on scholar ships, (3) the scholarships in aach county which now are filled.

The great advances which hose been made in agriculture and ail other industrial arts, in modem times, are due to the intelligent application of chemical and mechanical science to them. The leading branches of study in this institution ore of this kind. Chemistry is taught by lectures with experiments, and »n *h»-nioal analysis v- cherojc*1- . . . #- . — action oa - teacher. ^ . Natural Philosophy is taught by lectures and experiments. Mathematics is taught theoretically and practically. The student* go out into the field with instrument, practicing land surveying, leveling, running of straight and curved lines, and kindred operations in which mathematics is practically applied. Draughting and mapping are made prominent branches of work throughout the whole of the stpdent's course. Botany, zoology and physiology are also regular subjects of study. Mineralogy and geology are studied in the laboratory, the museum and the field. Agriculture is studied in books for its appliances of implements, soils and fertilizers, on the college farm for its practice, and in the bookkeeping and accounts of the farm for it* economy and profits. The various mechanical, manufacturing snd mining establishments within >hort distances of the institution offer the best examples for study that there are on the Western continent. The numerous engineering works and constructions arc also close at hand. Ail these are open to advanced and postgraduate students, who may be prepared to study them. The institution is, as it was designed to be, a college for the liberal education of those who expect to find their occupation in any industrial pursuits where j scientific and practical learning can j secure profitable employment. It is

not intended to take the place of the public or high schools, or to take charge of boys who should be under their parent's charge, but for young men who lavo acquired a good English education. ' such as the best of the schools in ever} county give ; and to such it offers un- j equaled advantages. The studies to be pursued are arranged in the following courses : 1. A four year's course in Civil Engineering and Mechanics. 2. A four year's oourse in Chemistry and Agriculture. 3. A special oourse of two years in Chemistry, 4. A special course of two years in Agriculture. The subjects of study in the first two j courses ore the same for the first and second years. Tho conditions of admission to the regular oourse® of study are, that Applicants must be sixteen years of age, and of good moral character. They are required to pass a satisfactory examination in English Grammar and Spelling, Descriptive Geography, Physical Geography, History of the United States, Arithmetic (including the Metric System), Algebra to Series, and Plane Geometry. The regular examinations for admission into the Freshman Class are held on the Saturday and Monday proceeding the annual Commencement, which . this year is June 23, and on Tuesday. Sept. 21, which is the dgy before the opening of the Fall term. Candidates for advanced standing are examined in the preparatory studies and those already pursued by the olass whioh they propose to enter. For the special courses the students must be qualified by previous study to pursue with advantage the sutyeoW they wish to learn. The students on country scholarships

It Is said by an eye witness to the boat race at the Court House recently, that he believed if the boots had all been honestly measured then, and there, that the result would have been vastly different, as it was known by one present that the "Mary Downs," was two feet longer than the given measurement. A prise dishonestly obtained, will give little satisfaction in its possession, snd honesty is the best policy every time. Great dissatisfaction is felt on the part of some with the law prohibiting the fishing with seines for so long a period, as being unwise And unjust to the inhabitants. Why cannot the law be so amended, if not repealed, as to make it lawful to fish say two days in a week at least? Let a petition be gotten up to that effect, and it is to be hoped and believed that our legislators are possessed of so much honesty and intregrity,— end have the best interests of their constituents at heart — as not to deprive us of , such a necessary article of food as our j fish are. Hook and line fishing is entirely inadequate to oupplv the people. E. pyRE Fish Guano, FOR SALE BY
