The furnaces generally are to be erected by Eastern cspi ' D?nBo?loiinlo irt\n man. who in 113. a DUU * regard the ore la the counties named ol a very superior character, In Mississippi last year the average daily attendance ol pupils in the public ctioola waa 165,1)11, oi whom 72,881 were white and 88,830 colored; 3,266 white and 2,311 colored teachera were employed, Over *.">00,1)00 were paid out lor public education, aud lawa have been enacted to provide lor an increaae ol the fund lor public school purposes, W? received yesterday from Mr, Sam Busby, on Hhurt Creole, a number ol specimen twigs Irorn apple, peach, plum, cberry aud apricot trees, all showing up well In the way ol Iruit prospects. The buds are ejpscially numerous and well developed ou the apple and cherry treea. There ia an excellent prospect all round. The wheat out there la looking well, and tbe farmers aro getting In their corn in good shape. The ground la In excellent order. Tai Uity Council ol Chicago has passed an ordinance lorhidding the erection ol overhead telegraph lines, and requiring all wires now sustained above ground to be put under ground by the 1st ol May, 1883.

Only one bouao in live In Brooke county is insured, and there is talk of starting a home company at Wellaburg to do a local bnalneaa iu lirooko and Hancock countlee. It la estimated that the county ol IJrooke la now paying about $1100 per month for inaurance, which amount ii monopolised by a home cumpany of solidity and character would give It a handaome bualneea. Tho Herald expreesea the opinion, that only 10 per cent of a respectable capital would require to be paid up in order lo do a aale and profitable bualneae. This may he, .but it the company is to command popular conlldence frem the a tart 100 cents on the dollar will be more likely to do il than 10 cents. The Hnrni t'Mlet EianlMllon at Bell, aire. At the recent competitive examination at Dellalre for a cadet appointment to the Wist l'oint Military Academy, fifteen boya competed for the prise. They were examined (1) aa lo their physical condition, and Iu this particular they rated aa low aa >10 and aa high as 90 out of a possible 100. There was only ene who rated aa high aa DO, and he was the boy that carried off the prise. He scored a clear 5 points on his physique over suy of bis competitors, only,three others rating as high aa 86, A aound body ia au indispensable requisite for admission Into Weat Point. The boya were examined In seven branches ol study, vis: spelling, reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, grammar and history. The possible mailmumin these examinations was, aa in the physical examination, 100. This figure repreeented perfection in any of these branchee. Seventy was filed aa "qnaatlonable," and anything below that waa regarded aa Indifferent, fiO representing failure. Strange as It may seam the average for Spelling waa only 68, a very low avenge Indeed for the most fundamental study In the Hat. Tho bov who acored the liliheet onlr reached 79, and the aucceeeful boy only reached 77. That* were live boya who fell below fiO-the line ol complete lallnre-ono of them hating almplr ' two nongbta affiled to bta name. Thlg la a ead commentary on common achool education. In reading the average was m low u "0?only o abora the qneetlontble line, the loweat biylailing 1? 00, and the higheat (the winning boy) reaching 91. In writing tho arerage wm only M, only one boy teaching aa high m 76, *od the winning boy only 68, In arithmetic the Mange waa only 0.1, the loweetboy tailing to aero (two nongbta) tvo rating only at 40, ud tbree only at W. Two only reaebed M -tie winning boy asd the nest beat boy on tbe general average. In ge.giaphy the average m 72, tbe loweat boy etanding at <ero,1l>e next lowMt at SO, three at tO, one at 76, and 6 at tO-tbe bigbeat notch reached?one of whom waa the winning boy. In grammar the average waa only ill, tbe loweet being 8, Ihe next loweat 10, the next 41, while only 2 acored 86. In hiatory the average waa only .61, the loweat being 6, tbe next 36, and the higheat HO. It ia only fair to lay that the rather low average on the whole examination ia attributable In part to tbe almoit absolute failure ol one boy throughout the list. Thl? unfortunate boy's general average waa only 14 J. The next loweat average waa 45j. The fond parenti who sent these two boys to the examination muat have been ssdly defective in themaelvee not to have foreseen about how they>ould rate. The winning boy averaged B5J throughout the list. In one atudy, reading, he howed aa high aa 96, which waa the only 96 accorded In the examination. Take the average rating of all the toy: in ipelling, reading, writing and arithmetic, and it certainly waa not creditable to the common ichoola where they had been taught. It only goea to show what we have ao often remarked that the common achoola in the matter of thorough primary inetructlon are aadly defective. The examination aystem for the appointment of cadeta to West Point, aud also to the Naval Academy at .Annapolis, Is an excellent one, and is a most salutary change from the old method of appointment by mere political preference, as was once tbe case, and as Isatlll the case in some parts of the country. Under this old system the boy who received a medium average at Bellalre might have succeeded against tbe boy who received the highest sverage, simply because his father had mora money, or more political influence, or more favors of some kind at his ais possl. An examination brings all tbe boys of a Congressional district on to a common level of opportunity, and in addition secures to the governmentservice a far better average of cadets. No bo; who Is not vigorous in mind sod body ought to be fastened on (be public service In tbe army or navy, snd under the system of competitive exsminations be cannot be. Tbls Is a great gain to the country in every way?In the money saved trying U> graduate dull boys, and also in securing bright men as cfflcers in two important arms of the government service. IHtHmfoll of Perianal k'roprrtj?fc?tiir relljr Inilou, A study of the returns made by the assessors of the various counties to the Auditor last year, and printed in tbe biennial report of that official, reveals some sugvestlve facts, and a comparison of the figures for the seversl counties is very significant. There are some lurprislog differences In valuations In different counties, and itome inexplicable facta are eetabllshed by tbe returns?that Is, If the returns sre to be relied upon as eetabllshing any facts at all. For instsnce, if the returns are reliable, there are in Ohio county 2,025 watched and docks, valued, in the sggregale, at $45,816 Now, Ohle county has, by the censUB ol 1880, a population of 37,467, wblcb, a simple calculation will show, is aboat eighteen persons to every watch and clock In the county. This certsinly seems a large average when we remember how generally our ma,e citiiens are eupplled with watches in these daysof cheapaud reliable time pieces, and bow few houses, even amoogtbe rural population, are without from one to three clocks. Supposing, for tbe purposes of Illustration, that there was not a time-piece In Ohio county outside of Wheeling, our population of 31,000 odd in the city would give about 15 persons to every time piece in the connty. Thla ia certainly a remarkable statement, and nothing bnt the returns of the assessors would convince us oi its truth, in the face of appearance! to the contrary. The average value of the clocka and watches, Indiscriminately, la about 122 CO, which does not seem, at firat alght, eo out oi keeping with the facta as the other figures. But a declaration Is made whioh la of a nature to provoke astonishment, and that la that while In 1870 there were 2,135 watches and clooka in the county, last year the number had decreased to 2,025, a falling off of 110. Our numerous dealera in watches and clocka must have a large trade from outalde the city and county. In Kanawha connty, with a population of 32,400, there are said to be 2,202 timepieces of various kinds, which is on an average one to every fourteen or fifteen peraons, about our average 11 wo estimate all the time-pieces in the county to be within the city limits. Kanawha's clocks and watches, moreover, .are returned aa worth on an average something like $9 50, from which it would seem that while more Kanawhane than Ohioana are tupi piled with time-pieces, they atand them at considerably less than half as much money as ours, on an average. They are progressive In this matter down there, however, and had in 1880 327 more watches and clocks than In 1&79. Probably a portion of our jswelera' trade ia from Kanawha county. This wonld not seem Incredible were the figures which we are considering taken In a year In which a eeaslon of the Leglalature occurred, but this not having been the caae, we must look elsewhere for an explanation. Berkeley county has 1091 walcbes and clocks, about the same average to her 17,380 population aa Kanawha's, The number decreased sli In the year, and the valuation fell Off from 19,871 to fd,22V-a deorsass of 1843, or 1107 and some cents per watch,?this nolwlthstsndlng the average aasessment In 1880 was not quite $9. That Is, while the general run of clocks and watchss were worth but $9, those which ID BomowBy oiwppwreu iroul mo nssraon' llata were worth up#ardaol $100each. Brooke county U> payera list year were the poaseeeora o( 1,106 watches, ol in alleged average value ol about $7, the Dumber having luereaatd over lf>70 by 1(13, ol an average valuation ol not qnlte $4 eacb. They are not to badly fixed up there, one peraon In every tire and a hall having aoine aort ol a time-piece. In the year Intervening between the Hating of personal property lor taiatlon In 18711 and 1880, the number ol tlme-plecee In the State increased Irom 47,000 to 48,280, and the value Irom $376,183 to $382,841, The average value In 1880 waa about $8, and In 1179 not qrtlte $7, while the average return ol the Increased number waa about the latter figure. While Ohio county returned bnt 2,026 watchea and cloeka, Marion county; with about hall the popt lation, reported 2,4M. But there an soma still mora surprisin ditcrepanciea. Ohio county, with hi hone can, coal and mill wagons, mai chants' delivery wagons and all the var oua uaaa lot horaea, ia laid to have be 2,584 boreea, aaaea and mulea. while 111 nongalia county haa 4,101. Yet llonoi galia'a various draft animate are liated i $43 each, on an average, and ours at 141 Twenty counties In the Slate, namely Barbour, Berkeley, Braxton, Graenbriai Hampshire, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferaoi Kanawha, Lewis, Usrion, Marshall, Mi son, Monongalia, Monroe, Preston, Roani Wayne, Wood, and even Welsel, hav< according to the.raturna, more horses tha Ohio county. Thiadoaa not seem improbi ble when all the clrcumstsncee are take; into consideration, mil it la not 10 humili a ting when we railed that Baibour'a 2,88 animaia are rated at only (33 a head Berkeley'* 3,863 at $41, Braxton'a at $4< and several of the otheraatalmllarly loi figure*. In the State at large the average valui tion ol" horses, mules, Ac.," is $30 eacb ao tbat Onio county ia somewhat abov the average. The highest average lor an one county ia in Greenbrier, where tb animaia are taxed at $48 eacb, and tb lowest ia in Webater, where the averag assessment ia $30. Now, that there la reall; so wide a dleorepaucy,U would be bard t convince any one. No doubt there ar alight differences In the market value c horaea, aa well aa in their condition, ii different parta ol the State, but tbat th average in one county ia really one am three tilths timea aa great a* In anothe county, seems incredible. There ate eqoi or greater differences In the returna froc the different counilee aa to hogs, cattle and other subjects ol taxation. For in stance, Jefferson county returna 2,832 hog aa worth a fraction over $4 each, and Ohi county haa hut 174, valued at $5 eacb; bu Wayne county'a 2,387 are listed at $2 71 Tho general average in tbe State ia bu $2 80. In pianofortes, organs and melodeoni our people seem to have been fortunate ii securing a great many inatrumenta for very small aum of money, The average I not quite $00 eacb, aa reported to theai aesiors. What kind of inatrumenta ar represented by tbeee returna It would b bard to guess, aa a very ordinary plan would, after several yeara wear and teai oat up the average of a good many sue inBirnuieniB, ana any numuer 01 tnem a anything butt rediculons figure, would re quire the minor instrument* to be Hate at io low a sum as to open the eyes of tb cheap ergan cablaet-makers themselves. We do nut call attention to the dii parity between these returns ol peraoni propel ty for taxation, and the real valu ol such property, in the hopes that th wrong mty be righted. There lsprobsbl no State that Is much Ireer than our ow from the complaint that personal proper! escapes taxation. Securities, aro sent on ol the State; articles lose a large peroeni age ol their value the day tha assessc calls and regain It Ihe day after; nomlni conveyances are made, and In many It atancea property is simply not returned I all. Much of the difference between on county and anothor Is due to the gresti caro ol the assessors in the one than i the other; much again can be traced bya examination 01 trio tigurea to the nigni rotes of taxation In soma counties thin 1 othera. This plan works evil both wayi the higher the rateol levy, the lower wl be the returns, and the lowor the retort the higher as a consequence must be th levy. The worst feature el all this is lis let ilency to Induce capital to seek oth< venues cf investment than real eetati which must bear its burden of taxatlor and cannot be hid or misrepresented That there is any remedy that will reac all the faults of the system we are not pn pared to say, but much can be done b more careful and conscientious researc by tho assessors, and br creating a pttbll noiitiment In favor of tho same honor an honesty In this respeet that Is domandei of a man in other respccls by the com inanity in which he livai. "Brandy, brandy, ban* of life, Hp lug of torment, Murcec-f itrlfe, If I coul I half thy tIch toll, Tho wUe would with you safe In h?1" Such Is the refrain from the lips of tb poor deceaBed toper, who would fly frot his enemr 11 possible.
