large and valuable Inmlly pa ExamlBStloB or Teachers. The following questions were submitted to the teachers at the examination, held in the city of Fort Scott, March 14th, 1874: I lJ i I t-4 s2 1 0 Improving the weather. The sun shone uninterruptedly all day yesterday. No one seemed disposed to complain of the unusual circumstance. .) A heary thunder storm, between 11 and 12 o'clock, last night, closed the festivities of St.

Patrick's Day In the morning." The streets wore quite a busy look yesterday. Considering the horrid state of the country roads, we have no reason to complain of dullness. The Police Court has done a light business for the past two days, owing, no doubt, to the wholesome moral influence exercised by the Methodist brethren. 8H ZTS-'S PrJ-v-v Ml 19 2 if lark, the cooing of the prairie chickens andffrogs holding concerts they have already-mastered the gamut, and are hard at work on the fuge pieces and anthems. New plows glisten before the merchants' doors, and old ones are forming in skirmish, lines in front of our blacksmith shops, and fancy, boxes on our merchants' counters are labeled "fresh garden seeds," and earthen crocks are piled high with fresh, aroma tic onion seeds.

Truly, judging from "signs," spring is here. The coal business bids fair to be active this summer. There are at present five pairs of coal scales doing business here and the prospect of more being erected. A gentleman, named erected scales and houses for the purpose of purchasing coal. He proposes to pay cash.

Do you hear that, boys II. B. Brown is also in the coal trade. I wish all parties success. G.

W. Laidlaw, we are informed, has sold his neat, little cottage to Mr. Hall, who has recently become a citizen of this place. Mr. Hall is a good citizen.

A German savan, Professor Herr Von Krautlieben, M. is at present stopping at the Pawnee House. He has been entertaining our citizens with the mysteries of Pgycho-mancy. He gave a private ce-ance of his skill a few nights since. I was not present.

It is said that he made some wonderful exhibitions of his skill. He appears to be a man of great erudition, chaste in his expressions and of much scholastic taste. His motto is Similia Si-milibus Curantur. He is quite a pet with our fair sex. I wish him success.

The minds of many of our savans are much exercised, to account for the peculiar phenomenon attending one of our citizens when a little more. than "half seas over," head erect, feet firm, knees straight, Quite an excited and interesting temperance meeting took place in the Baptist church, on Monday eve ning. It was largely attended and several speeches were made, followed by a general skirmish on the crusade question, in which eeyeral parties participated pro and con. The affirmative was maintained by Miss Way supported by a number of visiting Methodist ministers, and the negative was advocated by some of our own citizens. From those present we learn that the debate was warm and amusinr.

From what we cati learn of the view of the majority of our citizens, a majority including a large propor tion of our business and Influential citizens, we incline to the opinion that a "crusade" after the style of the Indiana and Ohio demonstra tions, would be generally deprecated; not because our people are not in fa vor of temperance reform, but be cause they question a beneficent result. The enforcement of our present law and the exercise of wholesome, restraining influences would give us as good a temperance status as could be accomplished by anything short of total prohibition and total prohibition not a few regard as impossible until the peo ple are educated to it. Persons of judgment deem it better to apply the legal remedies we have to the abatement of the traffic rather than resort to violent measures or ques tional efficacy. Getting tfelr Does. We learn from a United States detective, who has been engaged in looking up the parties that removed the rail from the track of the Gulf road, on the night of Dec.

31st, by wnicn a train was thrown from the track and the United States mail interrupted, that they have a clue to the guilty parties. If so, they will be arrested, under and by vlr tue of a process from the United States Court.taken to Fort LeaVen worth and tried in the United States Court, where they will not have the advantage of local sympathy and be let out on insufficient bail, as was the case with Foster, who was arrested by the local offi cers, in view or tne reward ottered by the railroad company. Kansas vtty jceporter. Similar proceedings are in prog ress In the United States Court be fore Judge Krekel, where they are having a hard time, in the case of the Gunn City there is every prospect that the justice will be meted out to them which it was impossible to obtain in the State courts. In the local courts it has been found impossible to reach these offenders, but the Federal Courts have a firmer grip of justice.

Conviction for delaying the mails will bring its punishment and Inci dentally confirm the proof as to who were the murderers. No pun Ishment is too severe for lawless men who interfere with railroad trains and endanger the lives of passengers, and we trust the fiends who were engaged in the La Cygne outrage will be arrested and brought to justice. Police Court. Since our last report there have been but few offenders before the Police Court for trial and sentence. Mary Keeler, a colored courtesan, whose physical and intellectual de velopment at once suggest thoughts of Darwin's theory, was fined $15, the usual monthly penalty assessed against the keepers of houses of de fective moral ventilation, and Beck Williams, a "boarder" with Mary, paid the usual fine of $8.

Thos. W. Trescott, a perverse sort of individual, has been arrested three times in as many days. His first and second offence was drunk enness. As he was 'from the rural precincts and only indulging in a bit of a spree," the Judge was disposed to be lenient with him, fining him but $6 for the first of fence and $7 for the second.

Yester day, however, it was found ry to take him into custody again, on account or unseemly behavior upon the streets, aggravated by his former offence. His trial was con tinued until to-day, and it is quite likely the Judge will not temper the justice meted out to him with a great deal of mercy. The Monitor. The Leavenworth Commercial, in noticing the recent purchase by Mr. Douthett of Judge Water's interest In the Monitor, is pleased to pay the paper the following hand some compliment: under Judge Waters manage ment the Monitor has been AM 1 newspaper.

We trust it will lose nothing by its change of owners. Fort Scott and Southern Kansas should give It a good support. DISTRICT COURT. March Term, 1874. PROCEEDINGS, TUESDAY, MARCH 17.

Speelal Correspondence of the Monitor. Oar Pawaee Letter. Pawnee, Kansas, March 16th, 1874. Dear Monttob: During the past week there has been some activity in the coal business at this point, though the weather still continues unfavorable. We have had snow and rain, and plenty of mud.

The Gathrtsht Case. We learn from Frank Danford, that the trial of Gathright for the murder of Morrison, just con cluded in the District Court, at Os wego, resulted in a verdict of man slaughter in the eecond degree. Uatnrigut's counsel moved for a new trial. The sentence was de ferred until the motion for a new trial was disposed of. The unfortunate rencontre result ing in the death of Morrison, oc curred in Crawford county, a few miles from Girard, some three or four months since.

Morrinon, who was at the time in liquor, was at tending a sale of stock and farming implements upon the premises of Gathright. At the close of the sale the two men had a dispute about an old which Morrison made an assault upon Gathright, when the latter, in the heat of pas- sion.drew a revolver and fired upon Morrison, inflicting a mortal wound. Both were men of good standing in the the affair caused general regret.

Great Eastern Circus. The popularity of this institution seems to be steadily on tne increase. At yesterday afternoon's entertain ment the pavilions were well filled, and last night thousands were again turned away, the doors being closed and the ticket wagons shut before 8 o'clock. All evidence of the painful accident seemed to have vanlsned, and all present enjoyed themselves, to all appearances, to their heart's content.

The Great Eastern is among the best of the exhibitions of its kind which have visited us for years. Its collection of wild animals and animate curi osities embraces some of the rarest specimens from the wild beast kingdom. Tne jungles or Africa, the sand deserts of the East, the caves of South America, and our own far Western wilds have been made to give up their attractions to add to the magnitude of the me nagerie, aviary, museum and aqua rium.

The display of tropic birds is especially brilliant and elaborate, and should receive the at tention of all who love the beauties of animate creation.
