Bravo, teachers of Highland county! The writer was present at Lynchburg Feb. 14, '85, and wishes to siy in your behalf that you have responded nobly to the call of the Executive Committee, and have lent a willing baud to mnko the Association of your county a success. In all the meet ings we have attended iu this and other counties, we never saw mterost more intense, duties more williugly performed, and a desire for advancement in educational work more earnestly expressed. The exer cises began in the morning with a nil house, and in tho afternoon it was crowded. Although the program was long, tho audiouce nevor wearied, but sat eagerly devouring the words of reproof, euconrage- meut, aud enthusiasm, that fell from the lips of the spoakerB.

We believe that not a teacher left the building without treasur ing up in his heart sonio remark by which to correct, advauoe, and euliveu his daily work. Miss Murphy, primary teacher iu the Lynchburg schools, gave a practical losson in reading, which was highly commended. Her manner was easy and dignified in directing the little ones, and is worthy of imitation by teachers of all grades. The report of "The Needs of Country Schools" was read by John B. Hoist, one of the committee appointed to ascertain the condition of these schools.

Notwithstanding the vastness of the subject, the report was a good one, aud reflected great credit upon the committee for the instructive aud interesting way it was laid before the teachers. Owing to want of time this report was not fully discussed, and will be brought before the next meeting. We understand that this report will be published for those teachers desiring make a thorough study of this matter. MiBS Huidee VanWiuklo, oue of Hi gh-land's most estimable young teachers, then read a selection from Longfellow and was highly complimented for the pleasing style in which it was given. The paper on "Methods of teaching Reading," given by Prof.

M. W. Smith, of Cincinnati, was well received, and it is to be hoped that many of his ideas of teaching this much neglected branch will find their way into every school room. Mr. H.

G. Williams gave a comprehensive paper on "How to make History Inter esting," which no doubt met the approval of the most criticising. His methods are excellent and we heartily recommoud their adoption. Especially the idea of patriotism, instilling the love of country iuto the hearts of the American youth, should receive the attention of every teacher. Foremost was the paper of Prof.

E. G. Smith, of Hillsboro. "A Teacher should Strive to advance His Position," was bis subject, aud he mode an earnest appeal iu behalf of the children placed nuder the care of teachers, that they, as concientious teachers, fit themselves in every respect to perform their duties, not for a day, but for eternity. In contending with the petty annoyances of everyday life in the school room, the high calling is lost sight of, and the professor's many frieuds were profuse in their thanks for the pleasure and soul snthusiusm received from bis paper, encouraging them to greater effort in the fu ure.

The teachers were hospitably entertained by the citziens of Lynchbuag, who were as load in their praises of the pleasure derived from the association as the teachers were in receiving such a warm weloome. The next meeting will be held at New Market AN OBSERVER. Old Winter relaxed bis grip a little last week, and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, were comparatively pleasant, but Sunday night brought another sudden change, and on Monday morning the mercury ranged from six to nine above zero.

DeHruin, who has been assigned as connsot for the accused, if be was ready to have the trial set for this term. He replied that he desired "a continuance on the ground that he had not had time since his appointment to prepare his defense.

He said that when he was Prosecuting Attorney it was not the practice to set so important a rase for trial at the same term iu which the indictment was found, if the defendant desired a continuance. The Court said that under the new rules of practice defendant's counsel must make au affidavit setting forth the grounds for continuance, and the Cuptniu replied that he would do so us soou as he could prepare an affidavit.
