?Since there is to be no State Normal
Institute, our efficient School Commissioner,
assisted by .others interested, is

efforts that others were saved. The

Xew Telegraph Company.?The

States for the Eastern District of Virginia

property, franchises, etc., of the
Southern Telegraph Company to the
New York and Southern Telegraph
Company, all pay-rolls, vouchers, etc.,
for the month of March, instant, and
thereafter, will be taken in the name
of the New York and Southern Telegraph

will hereafter be made in
t.he new Company.
All monthly reports aud remittances,
and other communications pertaining
to the management of the lines, offices,

John S. Wise, of Richmond, is the
president of the new Company.
Worthless Sekd Oats.?We had
(he pleasure of meeting on Saturday
in our office, :i couple of successful
1'armers of our county. In the drift
of the conversation it turned upon the
prospects of the small grain crop,
when we learned the following facts. |
A well known Columbia grocery lirra
in tlie fall, employed a gentleman of
the northwestern section of the county j
to represent them in the sale of seed
oats. The farmers of that section, or
at least a great number of them, purchased
the seed, (one man taking
SSO.Oo worth of;seed,) and planted
their crop. To their regret none of
the seed came up, and complaint was
made to the firm, after it was learned
beyond a doubt that the seed were
worthless. The firm, we were tokl,
Informed the farmers that they would
take the seed back, which of course
was impossible, or they would make
a reduction to the price of"feed oats.
As a consequence of this the crop in
than section will be very short this
season. The difficulty with the seed j
it, seems was that they had been kiln
dried, supposed to be for manufacturing
oatmeal, and the vitality of the
seed destroyed. There has been considerable
complaint in fVie matter, and
we think it nothing but right and
proper that the facts be made known.

The Sphere of Goveresient.
"Herbert Spencerin one of his books
holds it to be the essential duty of
government to protect?to maintain
men's right to life, to personal liberty j
and to property; and the theory that
the government ought to undertake
other offices besides that of protection,
lie regards as untenable. Each man
has a right to the fullest exercise of i
" ' ' " IiL i.U? i
an ins racumes compauuiu witu uiv
same right in others. This is the j
fundamental law of equal freedom j
which it is the duty, and the only j
dntv of the State to enforce. If the !
State goes beyond this it becomes an
aggressor. Thus all regulation of J
commerce, all enactments for the relief j
of the poor, for the promotion of edu- j
cation, for the establishment of sani-!
tary lavt s, or of the postofiice, or of a J
national currency, or of a system of j
public highways, stand condemned, |
not only as ineffective for their re-1
spective purposes, but as being violaLions
of man's natural liberty."
Such is the nonsense that a so-called I
scientist promulgates. One might
think that Herbert Spencer supposed
[he millennium to be at hand, but not
;o, for there will be no need of any
government, as every man will be a
righteous law unto himself. *

C. Wade, our teacher, is not only a
gocd instructor of youth, but a lady of;
high-toned public spirit and untiring j
energy, and has the faculty of infusing |
her spirit into her pupils. An evi-j
denccof this was seen in the enthusi-.
asm with which performers entered
into the spiris of their pieces.
Mother Goose and family were beautifully

strange melodies happily rendered. 1

The "Hard Case'' was indeed a hard
one. It baffled the judge and got him j
into a towering passion. It wa* well j

Cinderella's case was beautiful and :
triumphant, but she left behind her
many a bleeding heart when she stood !
up so proudly beside the prince.
The Tea Party was an exquisite little i i
performance, and the music, vocal and ' <
instrumental, was fine. Either there !
are in Miss Wade's school natural per- j;

she has awakened early in them the j'
