Show THE DISPUTE ON EDUCATION. The subject of Education is of the greatest importance to any community. We are pleased to see the interest which it excites in Utah, and particularly in this city. But the controversy which has arisen and obtained expression through the columns of Junction, has degenerated to mere personalities and technical criticism, from which the cause of education will derive but little benefit. We have inserted enough communications of this nature, aud must decline admitting any more. The letter signed "Aluanta," naturally aroused the anger of former tichool teachers, but the ample apology to be found in another column, renders further reply unnecessary. Wo have this to say in reference to the educational labors of Prof. Monch: That his systjm of teaching has engaged the attention of pupils whose interest was extremely difficult to excite under the methods. That his school discipline is admirable, and his manner of imold-fashion- pressing ideas as pleasing, as it is forcible, and that the Ogden Seminary, of which he is the principal, has been, and promises to be, of incalculable benefit to the whole community. We have supported it from the beginning, and desire to see it achieve continued success. We shall be pleased to receive communications ou educational topics, provided that the subjects arc treated on their merits, without personal allusions or disputes, and that the writers forward their real names, which will be withheld from the public if so desired. . We repeat our assurance of yt6tir-dathat we have taken no hand in this dispute, but merely published the views of others, and now hope that all who desire educational progress will unite"heart and hand" to forward the gobd work. y, A SOCIAL I ancmalous condition of a society which is afflicted with an element distinguished for its depravity and wicked influence.

The train was immediately stopped and backed up. The man was found lying upon the ground, about tlftcen feet from the track, still alive, but insensible, and with the back part of his head badly crushed in. He was picked up and taken to Fremont and ther left in charge of a doctor, who pronounced his injuries fatal.

I beg to state, that I did not intend to offend any person, thaH feel sorry that this has occurred, and hope that they will forgive my inadvertence, as the offeuce was not intended. I desire to be on good terms with all the teachers of this County, and be united with them in the good cause of education. I wish also to state that the article referred to was written in haste after when I was weary and irri midnight tated, therefore inaccuracies might hare occurred under those conditions.

The "Hoodlum problem" is cn- gaging the earnest attention of the legislature and municipal authorities of California, Perhaps no subject has yet been agitated, in the iuterests of reform, more embarrassing, aud more difficult of approach, than the Last Night's plications, and threatens to be the 6c casion of almost insuperable difficulties in the way of a judicious settlement. It is suggested as a remedy for the evil of "Hoodlumism," that enterprises be inaugurated, for the establishment and operation of factories for the manufacture of gunny bags, and as the cotton culture of California increases, factories should be started on the same basis. Opportunities would consequently be offered to those who desire employment, and a certain step toward the amelioration of the condition of a degmded class who may yet be rescued from a future of irretrievable ruin. The subject is one of paramount interest, aud the action of the State aud municipal authorities of California in grappling with the monster which menaces the safety and interests of society, will awaken the zeal of all who are animated by a feeling of benevolence in elevating the moral tone of the nation's youth. s, to investigate the vised.

We went fur the purposa of getting surgical treatment upon two little girls. Perhaps it will not beainiss to state for the benefit of the public with what success we met.

Cittj and we met them there at the appointed time My daughter is thirteen years olJ, and had a clump foot. The cord in her foot were so contracted that when she would stand up her heel would lack four inches of reaching the floor, and what little walking she did, had to be done on her toes. This deformity had existed ever since she was a year old and caused by sickness. Well, to make a long story short, the surgeons operated upon the foot on the 6th inst., and she walks with her heel dawn on the floor, and her foot is: apparently as straight as the other, although it will take time for it to gain strength. 1 speak of this knowing the prejudice that exists against those surgeons. 'I look upon them us being gentlemen and capable of doing all they say they can do, and all unfortunate cripples should strive to avail themselves of tbe opportunity of being treated, on their return o. to-da- y next Spring. We left S. L. City on the 8th of this month on our return to Bear Lake, and on arriving in Cache Valley, we concluded to go via Black Smiths Fork, and thereby save two or three days travel by coming into the south end of this valley. We found a good road up Blacksmiths Fork, eighteen miles to Curtis' Ranch. Here the snow was not over four inches deep, and stock was living out and doing well. Tl i t encouridea that we could get aged the this way. the mountains through Mr. Curtis very generously turned out with his team to assist us to the summit, As we traveled up the distance of eight miles, we found that the snow had increased to the depth of two feet, and where it was drifted there seemed to be no bottom. So we considered "discretion the better part of valor," in this case, and accordingly beat not a very hasty retreat and arrive'! back to Mr. Curtis' in the evening. We then changed our course via. Soda Springs. We found the snow ranging from eight to sixteen inches in the north part of Cache Valley. We found the road very passable all the way, there having been several tesms over the road. At Soda five was snow the inches deep, Springs anil in this valley about er$ht, but there has fouft inches fell since then. We arrived home on the lCth inst. This is something that, has never been done by men and teams at this season of the year since this valley has been settled. Respectfully, David OsiJORJf. Challenge to Ogden Shots.
