Tho ride in ono of our old-fashioned stage coaches, brought to mind days gone by. The crops throughout this region of country are abundant and fine. The corn, for height and strength of stalk, much of which is in tassel, if any thing, surpasses that grown in our much boasted ot Miami Valley. 1 have been delighted, as well as astonished, with tho whole country (rom Milwaukee Wisconsin, to St. Cloud, Minnesota. For the whole distance it is well sottled, and highly improved more so than mnnh nf ilm mint on tho lino of the roads between Cincinnati ana &anuusky, or Cleveland. The improvements in dwellings and barns far surpass those of Ohio generally. Indeed, tho Yankees; especially, seem to make a line finish of everything they commence. The trip up tho Mississippi rivor from Prairie du Chien to .St. Paul, is worth a rail rido of moro than a thousand miles to enjoy. Tho scenery is magnificent far away surpassing that of tho Hudson river, so much boasted of. Tho character of tho boats, their officers, and tho line faro, are fully eiiual to that found on either tho Oh in nr lnu-nr Mwlo. sippi livers. Tho hotels of St. Paul and St. juuuony are not behind the Astor, or our Burnet Houso.

Among tho most, if not the most interesting feature of tho Telegraph c celebration on Tuesday evening, was tho illu mination ol the ol-. .lohn Hancock mansion, on Bcaoon street. Tho old gentleman (neph ew of the Revolutionary patriot) who now owns and occupies the premises, gave direc tions that in honor or tho event even the lightning rods planted by Franklin hltnselfon his mansion, should nU'oi d soma indications of the joy universally felt on tho accomplishment ol this great undertaking. The mansion was illuminated from th lower floor to the attic, ar.d was 1 beautiful spectacle. - An Interesting circumstance connected with this illumination U related iu regard to the candlesticks which were used. They have been brought in requisition for a purpose similar to that of list night, on three provious memorable occasions: In 1785, when' peace Wis declared ; in 1315. when the difficulties crowing out of the last war were settled by Peace Declaration; and in 1818, on the occasion of the Cochituatj Water Celebration. Traveler, 13(4. Comrnuiiimtion. Fur tho Uepublkun. To Teachers ia Knox CounljY The time is now at hand when we will again rcsumo our occupation of teaching the young idoas. But first comes the ordeal; an examination by the Board of School Exsminors. And perhaps a word from ono who has been lieforo the Board would not bo amiss. You are aware, thoso of you tht have had to spond a day in the examination room, that theso days instead of being as they should, a pleasant past-time, aro tho days wo dread. Now it depends upon ourselves whether theso examinations are a pleasure to us, and also to the examiners, orothorwise; forit truly, must be tedious fur tho Board when the method of examination is orall as is the ease or has boon in our county. We go bofore tho Board without haviug made any special preparation for tho occasion; and to use our own thread bare phi use, are a little rusty. And aftor all the allowance made for that, some of us got but a six mouth certiGcato, and a few none at all. By the way, I have hoard it hinted that eur Board will make but little allowance for rust this fall, but tako us just as wo ait, not as we ikoM be. It is generally conceded that leaehors who got so rusty from one term until the next, en quarter is too little time to brighten them up; so that the districts which employ them get but a poor equivalent for tho money paid out, It is a matter that I could never fully nn-derstand, why certificates should be gi anted for the term of six mouths. Now an individual is qualified to teach, or he is not. And ono that is qualified to tako charge of a school for six months ought to b for one year, unless it is feared that the school will be in advance of him in six months tiino. The holders of those six month certificates go out in search of schools, and arc as suscess-ful in obtaining them as theso that are pronounced better qualified. Not ono time iu ten does the Board of school directors require tho applicant to produco his certificate; his assertion that ho has on is sufficient. 'Tis true they commonco and the majority get through the term and many of them to the satisfaction of their employers, because the patrons of tho schools do not take the timo or tho pains to inform themselves or what is going on in tho school room. As an example o( this class of persons, a young man taught a school in this county with a six month certificate, '.villi a class of throe or four in grammar. When tho tortu had nearly expired one of tho class, who was using Pinnoo's Analytical Grammar as a text book, came te me and asked my method of teaching grammar, saying that he was nearly through the book and had not yet parked ono word. In another case, in one of our first districts, a toachor wen t through tho entire term with out reading a single paragraph, aloud to tho school, a class, or a pupil; and that teacher gavo good satisfaction. I notico these examples, as proof, that though we may please the parents, we do not always do justice to the children. For there ar6 many parents, though I am sorry to say i t that are not capable of decid ing between a good school and a poor one. Many think that school of solitude, a stiil school, must r.ccos. sarily be a good one. A parent said to mo , a few days since, "Well, wo have hired a school teacher." Ah! who have ou employed this time? "Well, I forget the name, but he is a largo fellow, weighs over two hundred pounds, looks as though he was quick and withy, and he says ho whipped a scholar last winter larger than himself; and I know he will keep a good school." I am aware that many of you who spond your winters in teaching, like mysell, have labored under many disadvantages that school boys now-a-days know nothing-about. The old twelve by fourteen log school housos have given place to tho moro comfortable and commodious brick and framo. And our old toachors, though many fthein were good fellows, yet their faoilitios for ac quiring an education wore limited, nod of course, they could not communicate to others that which they did not possess themselves. I am also awaro that it is a disputed pjint, whether those that labor in the field or in the shop, eight or nino months in tho year should spend the remaining three or four as teachers. While learned men contend that teaching should be a profession, I would not distgree with them; yet, under existingcircumstaucos, I do not deem it practical to employ profes sional teachers in all our common schools. But when the lime comos that such can bo employed I, for one, will quit tho field. But fellow teachers, sinco it is impracticable, at proscnt, to employ professional touch ers, let us strive to be what professional teachers ought to bo. Though we cannot all bj CiemM, it doos not necessarily follow that the romaindcr should bonuiVu. Yes, strive; let your reading be of that character which tends to enlighten and give strength to tho mind. Banish from your libraries all books and papers, which havo for their object tho qualification ol tho more scu-su.tl appotlto. And remember that much miscellanejus reading is not always beneficial. Take your county paper, and this if con ducted as ills should bo, will furnish you lb alt the important newt. Always bear in mind the truth that knowledgs is not so much increased by a continual accession of new ideas, as by accurately comparing the relation of lho3e ideas which we have already receivod. Yes, fellow teachers, let us strive to improve; lot there bo no six months certificate granted in Knox County thin fall. Our Board of examiners are men of talent, honosty, and integrity, and none of us will bo put off with a certificato of a low grade unless wo deserve, it.

Th lloosier, as he rose puffing and blowing abovo . water, caught hold of tho tail of the colt, not having a doubt that the natural instinct of tho animal would carry him safe ashore. Tho eld mar took a "bee line" for the shore, but : the frightened colt swam lustily down th J current, with its owner still hanging fast. ; " Let go of the colt and hang on to the old mare !" ahouted some of his friends. "l'hrce. booh!" exclaimed the lloosier, spouting the water from his mouth, and sha-kinghis head like a Newfoundland dog. "It's, all mighty line, your telling me to let go the colt but to a man that can't swim, this aint exactly the right time for swapping horses !: OiT 1 h Madison (Wis.)
