. Daniel Eckerman, an excellent instructor, whowrote a hand like copper plate; spelled correctly; whose pronunciation wasfaultless and distinct; a good arithmetician; understood grammar and geogra-phy, and wouldnt lick me, because I had spoken truthfully when I had got-ten into a little scrape. His kindly admonition is by no means forgotten,though it was given fifty-two years ago. The lesson was a valuable one. Next in order was Capt. Thomas Anderson, who was very particular, andsomewhat stern in his discipline. He quit teaching in 1836, and now residesin Knox County, Ohio.

He was well up in years at that Owens, a brilliant scholar and surveyor, flourished somewhat earlierthan my time, but was highly spoken of. Then I mention Capt. Isaac Miller,who taught, probably, over half a century, and died only a few years
