He rod, the other, hprse into Carthage and was. to, sell it at the time he was arrested. The Grand Jury of Barton County was in session at-the time the arxest was made, and Mr. Westmoreland was called beface it. to.answer certain questions, and a "true bill" for horsestealing was brought against the thief.

He was then conducted, to the court room by the District Attorney, who asked leave of tne Couit for a few minutes to try a criminal case, and the request was granted. The State's Attorney then read the indictment, and the thief plead guilty, whereupon, "his honor" sentenced him to the penitentiary for the term of three years. The arrest was unde in the forenoon, and before sundown the prisoner was-on his way to-the penitentiary. This is considered by all attorneys "the best time on record" in criminal pr-osacution. The thief claims that his home is at Bioomfield, and that he is a married man and has two or three children.

He also says- his name is G. W. Shayer. He is a cripple and was intending to go to Eureka Springs for his health. He denys being one of the escaped convicts from the Nebraska penitentiary, but says he was in company with them while in Kansas, and that they were the some persons who attempted to hire a team in this city for the purpose of buying stock, after he left, and finally succeeded in hiring, one at ChenoLee Geo.

Hill and Dolf Westmoreland returned from Missouri, where they have been hunting Shayer, the horse thief, last night They brought with them one of the stolen horses and the carriage. They have dons good work, and deserve much credit for the perseverance they have manifested in capturing and bringing the thief to justice.

Urbana, Neosho county, Kansas. The Short Creek Republican, which is publishing Mr. Talbott's lecture, makes the following comments: We devote our first pure to-day to extracts from the lecture of Ilev. It Tal-brtft. delivered aft St.

Peter's church, Osage Mission, we regret that our limited pace will not "llow us to give it in full, as the subjwt of prohibition is one in which we are all interested, aod han-tMel as it is by this prominent; minister of the gospel, whose Iteartfelt interest in the cause of tempcrande is unquestioned, we deem it worthy the earnest perusal of every reader of the RepHhlican, He they for or against prohibition. In addition to his effort to show that prohibition does not ami cannot prohibit, Mr. Talbott gives some good sound, sensible advice to parents that should be saeredlr treasured in their memories. The Neosho County Joukmal published the lecture in full, and from it we make our extracts. Itead it, ye temperance workers; read it, ye saloou men; read it ye thinkers, and you will irot regret having done H.

Quick, superintendent of schools of Crawford County, in his advice to teachers to "begin right," says that maay of them "xaake the mistake of being too independent, and running into needless difficulties just to show school boards that they are masters of the situation, but succeed only in making their own insufferable conceit apparant to everybody. The mere fact of holding a certificate does not prove that the owner cart successfully manage any school in a county. The truth is, not more than one fourth of the. teachers yearly licensed poesess the tact and executive ability to successfully handle even an ordinary school.

Barnhart and daughters of Osage Mission. After tne happy couple naa oeen maae one, and received the congratulations and-well wishes of their 'many friends, they were conducted to the dining room where a sumptuous supper was served, under the supervision 0f 1 "Aunt Becky," one of Neosho coun ty's lest cooks. After partaking of the good things of life they sallied forth for the purpose of drinking in the punti -s of the evening breeze On their return they were surprised as well as nleased to find the house well filled with their young friends from Erie and vicinity. They spent a pleasant evening one long to be re-rbembexed by all. The next dathe proceeded to the residence of the groom's parents in Erie township.

Tney were handsomely received, and enjoyed a dinner that could not be surpassed by a French cook. Soon-after dinner the happy, pair took their departure for Chanute, where they will spend several days in visiting fiiiends and relatives. Long may they live, and may their union prove a blessing to all parties concerned. A Guest. Good FVIncIpIei of Superintendent Luckey, of Pittsburg, says that how best to teach children the correct use of the English language is.

one of the unsolved prob lems of the age and adds that children in the primary departments should be required to talk much, and their errors should be carefully corrected by the teacher. He suggests that each pupil should be required to give a short description each day of something he has seen, on his way to or from school, or to repeal ia his, own words a short story previously read aloud by the teacher. Mr. Luckey thinks that the grammar department pupils should be obliged to write a great deal, especially letters. And with great good sense he suggests that in the upper grades the teaching of geography and history be conducted in connection with current events.

"For example," he says, "let the daily paper be judiciously culled by the teacher, and the principal items of local, national and foreign news placed on the b'ackboard and discussed by the teacher, while the pupils locate upon their maps the several places referred to. By this means the pupil is familiarized with the main events transpiring in the great world that lies outside and beyond all text books and play grounds. The pupil who has traced ut upon his map the proposed route of the Nicaraguan Canal finds an interest in geography which does not usually attach to a cape, an isthmus, or an archipelago and so on. This exercise brings into play all the mental faculties of the pupil; his powers of observation are trained; his thinking becomes accur ate; he begins to form opinions, and grasping generalities, he is not confined to details; his faculties for acquiring information are no longer circumscribed by the four walls of the school room, but he reaches out, and in his acquaintance with the world, becomes a cosmopolitan. The use of the daily paper as a text-book, in the of the teacher, cannot, in my opinion, be over estimated." Lawrence Journal.

We commend the above Sathe consideration of the teachers of Neosho County and elsewhere. Esachsrs Esaminatisn. Osage Mission, Kansas, September 8th, 1881. y. H.
