We are pleased to Bee that Mont An tf ia Female Seminary will em brace in its conrse of instruction a department especially deeignel for the benefit of those wishing to ter.ch. This is unquestionably a most commendable feature of the school. It is a demonstrated fact that practical work at tbe teacher's desk depends leas upon a higher educa tion than upon skillful operations in the course tiu.ght in the school. Very le irntd teachers toajetiniea fail iu th: common schools and it is thought by some that tbey are too highly educated for the common school teaching. This, of course, is an error. It is only a lack of train ing in the sphere in which they are attemp'ing to operate. WbUe there is room for impracti cul, theoretical hobbies in abund ance in our schools for teachers, there is alto tbe opportunity for immeasurable benefits to be im parted to those wbo go out, largely as a matter of cecestity, to teach in our common schools that are un questionably the most d.fncult of all schools to teach.

A ITf-Brrn Rrnte Meet Jlorrflile llrnlli 1 no Mm Killed and Ten Wounded by the Military CJuard Tlf'tlm in Critical rouilltlon. At 2:30 Friday morning, a mob met at the jail at Urbana, Ohio, de termined to aver go the purity of a helpless widow by executing one Charles Mitchell for the terrible crime of assault one week ago. The sheriff had a military com pany with him and fired on the mob, killing two and wounding ten, all of whom it seems were spectators not actual?) engaged in the act. The feeling was wrought uptoj such degree that the mob would not down, but persevered till they got Mitchell and swung him to a limb in tbe jail yard till he was dead. The tbe case was one of extreme provocation. Mrs. Gaumer was alone, the wretoh haying chosen his opportunity, and was overcome by tbe brute befouled with loathsome disease. Shrinking from the terri ble disgrace, she led ber son to be lieve the assalt was for robbery, and be was arrosted for that crime, but her critical condition disclosed the fact and he was tried for the real crime and sentecced to 20 years im prisonment, tbe limit for criminal asBault. Tho law of the land must be the will of the people and the spirit that leads men to face death to pro tect feminine helplossuess and vir tue could uot brook the puniuhmcnt so iuadrquate. The sheriff aud captaij of the military company have fled the vengeance too of those whose friends were slain. Bfolea I'rom the Organ.
