Herald: According to your issue of March 4th, I find that justice to one of Fayette's most respected citizens requires that I should apologize for an article written a few weeks subsequent, under the caption of "Whose was the Fault?." It certainly is not a leading characteristic of my nature to knowingly cause, or give anyone, unnecessary trouble or pain ; and yet I find, by reading "School Director's" article, I have caused him both. When I contemplate the amount of excessiye labor it would require an "almost uneducated man" to prepare such an elaborate article, I heave a long drawn sigh. It surely took days of toil and nights of thought to hunt np the geography of it. Then there was the grammar to bo considered, and the rhetoric; and yet to his honor yon must understand, that while his mental naturo was so heavily taxed, his physical structure was enduring the most excruciating wuu; iur no mucins in nis article that it was "painful," and I know him to he a brave man, and one who does not com plain of trifles. And now, with your permis sion, l win auu a snort sinxeineni as explaining the mysteries of " Whose was tne faulty" I am an educated aian, consequently won't ask for more than twcolumns of your widely circulated paper.

The teacher of Sub-joinfe District Ao. 1, Paint and ifcrson township, dnrinirthe fall whipped a couple of unruly boys. In a day or two there was a meeting of djwetors at the school house.

The teacher and the director who sent the wod, The teacher talked of correcting a son of a director even threateaed to whip him. He was notitied if he did be would oe prosecuted, aim, auueu a second director, "I will not sustain you; you must govern and punish some tlicr way." Who is your authority for this? Th.ex-toaeher. At the fast meeting of the director and teacher, the night before school closed, one director said: Gentlemen. I am opposed to allowing this school to close; our teacher has not had justice done bim, and I, for one, will stand by hint, nud allow htm to govern the school."- But on lead ing mind In that board said: "So: it won't do; the children are doing no good."

U., a Committee-was-ap-pointed to devise alaw for the introduc tion of the Juvenile Temperance Man uel, by Julia Colman, the Temperence Lesson Book by Dr. Richardson, and "Story en Alcohol," into our public schools as text books; hoping by their use to educate our children against the use of all intoxicating liquor as a bev erage, and make them what the State so much needs, inteligent, total abstinence men and women. 1st. Because Intemperance has al ready become so widespread and alarm ing that the health, morals and the very life of the nation are jeopardized, and only a systematic and continual struggle against it can turn the flood tide which threatens its destruction. 2. Because these principles are based' upon the sciences taught in our sohools and recognized as necessary bv best educators; and because the nature and effect of alcohol upon the human sys tem could he successfully taughtin con nection witn chemistry and physiology. 3. To omit this consideration is to omit a very important branch of po litical economy, a knowledge of which the State has a right to demand-of-every one educated at the public expense. We thereiore desire the introduction. of the Juvenile Temperance Manuel by J ulia Colman, into the Primary sohools and for the Intermediate grades would recommend Dr. Richardson's -temper ance lesson books, and the Story, of Al cohol for Grammar and High Schools. Will you examine these worbe, and if you agree with us that their teachings will tend to iortliy the vouth of thfc State against the temptation of the, saloon, you use your influence to place- them in the course of study used in. your schools.
