Tomlixsos: Dear Sir : You wish to know the beneficial effect the Normal School and also the Graded School of Wilson seemed to have had upon the the teachers who attended dur ing the time they were in session. I visited sixteen schools taught by Normalites during the summer just past and in all of them, except one, fo marked a change in organi zation government and methods of instruction had been made, that I waa greatly pleased and encour aged. Those who had attended the Normal School seemed to have fully imbibed the scope of instruction given and were carrying it out with good effect- so far as there school equipments would admit. What has leen said will apply wtih equal propriety to the teachers from the Graded School (five of whom I found busily employed) who though young seemed so familiar with their work that one not re garding their appearance would have taken them for veterans in their calling, but uot old fogies. They evidently knew how to get get their schools in working order. .With the ojiening prospect be fore us there are good grounds for hope that we are on the march to success in education -which result will be brought about largely by t'.ie influence of Graded and Nor mal schools. They are already tell ing iqion our public schools w ith encouraging results. Very respectfully yours, Jas. Murray, Sup. PuhSchols, Wilson, N. O. Six Bailor Boxes. 1.

Sir Isaac, Newten, for example, Avas dunce, low in his class, and by no means fond, of study. Iudeed, if it is to belived, it was due to theun- miiable spirit of revenge; that he ever learnea at an. xne -snow bov" of the school kicked iiim and is a retaliation Issac deterinined to lieat iu lessons, and succeeded; but he owed his success both then and in later life rather to persever ance and iersisteuee than to inher ent capiu'ity. Oliver Goldsmith was pronounced a perfect-idiot by his schoolmates. They never tired of teasing him, and he was for years the butt of ridicule. A wonderful amount of patience wasVneiled by the old school dame, wiioi at last dinned the alphabet into his iut willing mind. Sir Walter Scott was nicknamed at school "the great blockhead." Hutton, the antiqua r ian, was slow to learn, and details his experience iu his own way: "My master," he writes, "took occasion to beat my head against the wall, holding it by the hair; but he never could beat any learning into it. Sheridan was introduced to school by his mother, with an apology for his dullness. Adam Clark's father called him a "miserable duitcV." Dr. Chalmers was put down by hi.' teacher as an incorrigible block- bead; and Chatterton, unfortifiiate- Iy, even in early life, was dissmis ed from school by his master as "too great a fol to learn.' . Stopping His Paper. ... - . . We have recently been reminded of a little incident in the life of Horace Greely, Editor of the New York Tribune : Passing down Newspajer Row, in New York City, oue morning he met one of his readers, wlio very excitedly exclaimed : "Mr. (Ireely, after the art icle you published this morning, I intend to stop your paper !'' ,1 "Oh no" said Greely, "don't do that." j "Yes, sir, my mind is made up ; I shall stop the paper." j "Well, now, I do hate that might- 1r lif iioiHiiiolk "ti i-kiif rf it But the angry subscrilier'was not to lie appeased, and they separated. Late in the afternoon the two met again, when Greeley remarked. "Mr Thompson, lam very glad yon did not carry out your threat this morning." "What do you mean ?" . "Why, you said yon were going stop my paier." "And so I did, I went to the of lice and had the paiier stopjied." "You are- surely mistaken. I have jnst come from there,1 and tlie press was running, the printers were at work and business was boom ing.".. j , "Sir," said Thomjison very pom pously, "I meant I intended to stop "my subscription to your paper." "Oh ! thunder !" rejoined Greely, "d u j our subscription ! I thought you were going to stop the running of my paper, and kuoek me out of a living. My friend !; let me tell you something : oue mau is just as one drop of water iu the ocean. You didn't 'set the machinery of this world in motion, and you can't stop it aud when you are underneath the ground things up ou the sur face will wag on just the same as ever." ..." ' - Tneir Wedding Hight. HmviT Was Spentby an Unsoph isticated Bridegroom. A bridal couple from one of our neigh j Hiring towns, recently married,weu t o the thriviugrity ot Springfield, O., jin their bridal tour. They arrived at the Lagouda House iii that place about Ito'clm-k iu tlie evening. The bride waited in. the ladies reeep ion rmnii while her leige lord went the ottice to register his name, hu for the first time to write with it 4and wife." The, clerk was notified qf the fact that he was a newly mar ried man, and the bridal chamber vi"vs accordingly assigned them. "The groom retired; from the office abeompanfed by a servant, .and with his Itonnie bride repaired to te bridal room. In atxut . half an hdur the aT.ible. clerk at the "Lag onda" was surprise.1 to -see the gioom walking Hi the office,' aud stall more surprised to notice that l4 deliberately walked to an easy clia'r in a dark corner and seated s - lifmself with a' disappointed bntde. tdrmined sort of air. The clerk waited fr some minutes, all the time woiiJ during if 'they could so soon have a fiimily row. He watched the young hflsband closely, endeavoring to discover by his actions the cause of his so suddenly and so soon retir ing from the chamber wliich con tained his fair young bride. Rut his watchiiig was in vain. There sat the groom in t he shallow of a piJ'ar, quiet and calm. Finally the clferk's curiosity became so great that lie determined to interview the young man about the matter. . Ap proaching hinf iu a resjH'ctful milli ner, he said: ' l"My friend, pardon ine, but 1 don" understand why you h.ive.so sqon left the bridal chamU'r. lias anything serious happened?". "Oh, no," said the young fellow, ',ennie is an awful modest girl, and she said she couldn' retire as long, as I W as in the room. I told her she w ould have to get used to it sooner oiilater, and she iniglit as well com mence the first night. Rut she said 'up," aud pleaded so hardr anil with such love looks that I couldn't re fuse her, and at her request I left the room and came dow n heie." ('Well, what are you going to dof said the curious clerk. "Yon don't propose to sit here : all night, do your' : ! . j'Nosiree! You bet I don't.

A11 right," said: the amused clerk, "when your liell rings I'll tell yop," and so saying he left the new- lv matle husoaiid. lime rolleil out and an hour paused. The yoiin fellow anxiously came, to the desk aud inquired over and again if "his bell hadn't rung, and when tin answer came, "No; sir!1' he looked troubled and anxious. Finally In settled hiuiselt in an easy chair, and soon the clerk 'heard his son onius snores.
