Mr.. Brest, surgeon of Whitehaven,
lately extracted a needle I l-2 inch
long, from the side of a female child,
about Is months old, which appears to
have got into the flesh when she was a
mere infant, and, through inattention,
had been suffered to remain there. The
child never could bear to be touched
on the side. This led TO a careful ex-
animation, and hard substance was
ascertained to be within the skin; hence
the operation. The needle had con-
slderably decreased in size by zorro
sion.

PURLIC SCHOOLS.
WEDNESDAY, july 6, 1926.

On our first page viii DC found a very inter-
esting extract from the charge Of Judge Howe
to the Grand Jury of this county, at the last
March term of the Court OF Common Pleas.
1t is ON the subject Of education, and OF Public
Schools, and is we'll worthy of the perusal and
consideration of every individual who feels an
interest in the general welfare.
The benefits OF public schools are probably
more generally and extensively enjoyed in
this state than in any other, and yet it is very
evident that their value TO the community
might be much enhanced without any increase
of expense. The benefits Of a systematic ar
rangement of schools, of classes, and of books,
and of other Improvements which may be made,
are not generally known and appreciated
The great change which has been wrought by
the new system adopted in this town, and par
ticulary referred to by Judge Howe, would
hardly be credited, and certainly could not be
realized, except by those who have been wit
nesses of it. The subject is an important one,
and we hope il will receive that share of at
tention to which it is entitled.
Before closing, we would advert to two
facts which have excited no little surprze in
our minds. Although, by law of the Com
monwealth, it is made imperative on every
town to support free schools at the expense
of the town. yet, unless we are misintorned,
there is one county in the State where the law
IS either totally disregarded, or carried into
effect on so limited scale that but small
proportion of the community derive any benefit
from it whatever. The other circumstance to
which we allude, shews the effect of different
customs on the moral feelings Of the commu-
nifty. Public Schools not being establishe d
by law in Rhode Island, the town Of New
port recently passed vote, assessing tax
for that purpose, about half as large as the
school tax paid in this town. The measure
met with violent opposition at the time,
and. at the late session of the General Assem-
bly,, areu,onstrance was presented against it.
and petition for redress, signed bv some OF
the most wealthy and respectable citizens of
the place, class, who, in this State, would
consider such an act disgraceful to them, and
who have generally been among the foremost
to cherish and support our literary institu-
tons.

DESTRUCTION BY LIGHTEING.-On the
morning of the 4th inst. between the hours OF
8 and 8, the new two-story dwelling house,
belonging to Moses Whipple of this village,
was struck with lightning and entirely con-
sumed, with part of its contents, consisting
of furniture and complete set Of carpenters
tools, by which the owner, who is one of orr
most industrious and worthy citizens, has lost
his all. The loss is estimated at from twelve
to fifteen hundred dollar, When the house
was struck there were nut two persons in it,
one a young man, an apprentice, who was at
work in room which was occupied as car
pentcrs' shop, was knocked down and stunned
BY the shock, but soon recovered and found
the room enveloped in flames the other a
young woman who resided in the family was
in another part Of the house and escaped I'M
hurt. The fire spread SO rapidly that the
first knowledge which some of the near neigh
bors had of it, was from seeing the flames
burst forth from the house. The inhabitants
of the village repaired to the spot with their
usual promptitude and alacrty, but their
efforts were OF no avail, except to save part
Of the furniture, &c.

Blessings Of SIauery.-A black woman
belonging to David Thorp, Esq. of Ham
over, Morris county, N J. has confess
sed the murder of two of Mr.. Thorp's
children, by drowning them in a cistern
near the door. One Of them, child of
only Two and half years, was found in
the cistern about the lst of March; the
other, 5 years old, was drowned on the
10th of the same month. The family
supposing they had accidentally fallen
in, suspected no one of the horrid deed !,
until last week, when Mrs. Thorp, on
hearing the account lately published, of
little girl who had been arrested on
suspicion of her having drowned two
children in a tan vat, was induced 10
mention the subject to her black wo-
man, and, as our informant states, OBJ
serving her countenance TO change,
charged her with the murder of her
children. The monster confessed she
had drowned the last, but denied that
she had amy hand in the death of the
other. She stated as her motive, that
she wished 10 know how she should feel
after the act was committed and she
said she was hurried on by the devil
She was Immediately arrested and sent
to the county prison, where we under
stand from one Of our informants, she
has confessed TO a person who visited
her, that she also drowned the youngest
child; her motive was TO revenge her
self ON her master. Ne7Oark Eagle.
.anothcr Marriage Of an Indian 1uith a
White Girj contempLated.-Our readers
will recollect, thai about year ago, a
marriage took place between an Indian
Chief, who had attended the Foreign
Missionary School at Cornwall, and a
white girl. Most of the papers spok
of it in terms OF decided disapprobation.
The Agents of the School, at the head
of whom is the Rev. DR.. Beecher, of
Litch6eld, have published report,
under date Of the 18th inst. in which
they state, that negotiation Tor mar
riage has been carried on for some time
past between Elias Boudiaot, young
Cherokee, and Rnrriet r. Gold, of the
village of Cornwall, and that there is
now . settled engagement between the
parties. The object of the publication
is to declare their unqualified disap-
probation of such connexions" Aud
they regard the conduct Of those who
aided or assisted in this negotiation as
highly criminal" They say that
additional restrictions have been adopt
ed, to protect the interests of the
School and of the community as con-
nected with it.

pretty much, of cold slices and warm scraps
We do not know how they will be rel
ished by Indifferent appetites, but such as
always bear keen edge. will, we have no
doubt, fell pretty well satisfied after one
course. We have taken some pains to sea-
son the dish with due proportion Of mur
ders, rob5erics, riots, &C., &c, which in our
opinion, (Which has been formed by criti-
cal observation of the whims and caprices
of some of our eccentric guests) may render
those parts of more insipid order, rath-
er palateable We hope the feast, upon
the whole, will be acceptable and apPreci-

for the edifcation and amusement Of our rea-

vain and unsatisfactory.
