The " Democratie burnt district " is blazing agam. If the signs of the times may be trusted, the "roastiug" the Aitaus prelicta tor Mr. Willits in thie vicinity will not be confined to that gentleman aloue. The whole Ohandler ticket trom Rayes to coronel' will be roasted in : so hot an oven of Democracy that it will shrivel into uothingness. The farmers are putting their shoulders to the wheel, and private citizeus, uuaided by postoffice money or other fuuds of that sort, are gettmg up meetings aud pole-raisings iu the interest of Iteforin. Mr. M. T. Prout informa us that he will raise a hickory pole on lus farm on Saturday of tlus week. Good speakers will be in attendance. Charles Vogel, of the Pleasant Lake House, Freedom, wili have a pole raising Mouduy, the 9th inst. Col. Burleigh, of Ann Arbor, E. B. Morris, Wm. (i. Doty aud A. T. Beuegal of Manchester will address the meeting. The speaking wiil be in Germau aud Euglish and a good atteudance of the substantial German farmers of Freedom is confidently expected. Mr. Vogel informa us that good music wil) be provided, and nothin nedactnrl bi make the' meeting pleasunt and proñtable for all. But while politics are absorbing so muoh attention, other matters must not be overlooked ' For matance, the schools of this Democratie comniunity. If Mr. Cutcheon's idea were the true oue, of course there would be no schools where there is a Democratie majority. But Mr. C, in his zeal for his party, distorts f acts with retreshiug simpheity, and we will not stop to apply the " ad hominem " line of argument to bis case. To be brief, theu, the outlook in educational mattere is very encouragiug here. Prof. Miller intorms us that the tuitiou fee of non-resideuts for the High School couKe already aggregates $125-and stül more to come. Thia speaks volumes for the excellence of our school and its good repute abroad. . ïhe District Schools of the township have not yet commeuced. Uood teachers eau ünd here an opportuuity to exert their talents for the benefit of the risiug generation. The regular exammation of teachers takes place Oct Hth. Eev. G. H. Field, of the M. E. Church, returned on Friday moruing last, irom au extended trip to the Centennial, Washington, and the cities of the East. The labors of Mr. ! Field have been most arduous since he carne to this charge, and we hope this relaxation will afford him all the good he and his irieuds ' pected irom it. ' The Centennial fever still continúes, but we ! have long since abandoned the idea of ' iciing the mimes of its vistims.
