The scenery is pcrfoct, tendering one on cither hand cf the beauty Hpois" depicted by Turner's landacapcs, while sickness as a result of climatic inlluence is unknown. The Lockhnrl b'hoals railroad, about six teen miles long, now in contemplation, ami upon which grading will begin in the noxi Ihiity days, will afford ample transports!iot facilities, connecting wi It the Uichmond Danville system of Joncsville, u town nim miles north ol' Union courthouse. It is i very low estironte to say that litis road will carry >()() tons of freight per month will the erection of tlie first mill, without rcgan to other millalhut will follow.

Is there Anything New Under the San. Some tiinc ago, while visiting a well known raining school lor teachers, I was much iitertiined by the lesson in Arithmetic for ho lowest grade in the Primary Department. In the centre of the pleasant room stood a ong hcnch-likc tabic on which were placed n li'tlc groups of fire, a great variety of rticles. There were fivo tiny dolls, five marbles, ivc pencils, five peach stones, live pebbles, itc grains of corn, five shoe-pegs, five little ups, five lit - lc thimbles, mid some other ives that I have forgotten. A t<righl-faccd teacher sa' before the able and about it clusterod a dozen little neu hn I women. "Now children," said the tenchcr, "who an count the thimbles ?" Instantly a 'iVftfHrk.4 given to a timid-looking girl. Then , unto t>oy counted the marbles, and a tiny ill. whose itching fingers clung to the edge I" the table near the dollies, counted them, nd so it went on until each little one had minted a five, when the thimble-counter note the result upon the hoard thus? 1111?5. "Now, ' said the tencher, "Mamie has a ttle Bister at home; how many dollies will he gi*c to her?" Very slowly the chubby hand pushed out ne baby from the group she was guarding rilli jealous eye, then another, and paused. "Well," said the teacher, "you cannot pare another?" Maiuie's prompt "N'o'm" was followed ty le <|iiestiou?"How many dollios does lamte give her sister?" and answered in jneert, "Two." "Kverybody give two away from their vesj' said the teacher. fsh little hand pushed otf the twos, and e announced?"Three are left," Then ie wro'e on the board?6?2?3. ^W^MTlflflf'tlrRrplainly said, "That's he nicest." "W'liat a delight fill way to teach!" exaimed niy companion : and after the whole ilf hour hud been consumed in breaking up id putting together tliut little number five, estopped the teacher to ask, "What number do you begin with ?" "The smallest number that is unknown to ly of the class," the teacher asswered. \ "And how long do you remain upon one imher?" was the next question. "Until all kuow it thoroughly," came ck through the open door, ns the teacher irried on to overtake her class. On the way home my companion had jch to say about the "new method" of tching Arithmetic, but 1 was busily "lookg backward" and remarked dreamily, 1 "It reminds me of something that Implied a long time ago.
