ofseeing the Queens bed, and who are
accustomed to conclude that royalty must
repose on feather beds and downy pillows,
will be astonished to have pointed out to
them small campbell with "a hard mattress
and one small pillow, as the couch of roy

The following report. OF the Methodist

We are of opinion that most of our read

requested to give sn insertion &c.
REPORT:
The institution of Sabbath Schools, we
have reason to believe, is now quite uniVer-
sally acknowledged, as among the most
sure and powerful auxiliaries to the Chris
tian Religion; and is without doubt, des'
tined to become one of the chief Instru-
ments, under God of spreading scriptural
truth and holiness, throughout the nations
of the earth, and ushcring in that peaceful,
banny day. when call shall know the Lord, -
and when the s'heatben shall be given to
the Son for an Inheritance, and the utter
most parts of the earth for possession"
1t is gratifying, amid the multiplicity OF
benevolent and phanthropic operations OF
the age, that we have presented to our
view, as humble unaspirng christians,
field Of labor suited to our diversified ca
pacities, and affording us most abundant
opportunities of fulfilling the divine require
ments, and contributing beyond our feeble
comprehension, to the establishment OF
Zion's kingdom on the earth, and the IL
nal salvation Of immortal souls, in the man
sions Of peace, where the uninterrupted
presence of our Supreme Maker and benz
ficent Judge. shall continually add to our
happiness, and illuminate our minds, forev-
er and ever. Such field of opera
ton do we find, in the institution of Sab
bath Schools, the subject to which our
attention is directed in this Report.
But the duty assigned us on this occa-
sion, is to make report on the state Of the
Sabbath School connected with the Meth

SUNDAY Schools A FACT FOR Pa
RENTS. There is some difficulty in Cincin-
natl in deciding The question whether or not
the common school houses should be allow
ed to be used for Sunday Schools. On one
side it is held that the city ordinances for,
bid the use Of these buildings for any other
purpose than common schools; while the
other maintains that they are as common
as Monday or Saturday schools" In
the course Of this discussion it was natural
that the opinions Of the common school tea
cheers should be elected on the subject. 1t
appears that large proportion of the Sun
day school children att end the common sch
DOL, and it is given as the opinion ofthc tea
cheers of the latter, that the children who
attend the Sunday schools are the most or
derby and make the most rapid improvement.
We have not the leas; doubt, and the fact
should be pondered on by all who have the
care of children that should, but do not. at
tend Sunday schools.

IRON ORE FOR SMELLING, AND
QUARTZ STONE FOR GLASS.

We last week had the pleasure Of exam
ming quantity of Iron ore from the farm
of Capt. Matthews near Lights Corner
in the town of Liberty. 1t is of the bog
species and possesses every external ndica-
tons of being productive variety We are
informed tina, there is large deposit OF
it there, and that pond near by, also con-
tain large quantities on its bottom.
1t is the intention of Capt. Matthews
and others to erect d furnace as soon as
their convenience may warrant, for She pur.
pose of smelling the ore, and we hope that
the day is not distant when the contemplated
establishment will be in successful and
profitable operation.
Quartz STONE. Near by the same place
is the large deposit of peculiar quartz rock
that has been mentioned in one of DR..
Jackson's Geological Reports.
This is formation of Slick, so pure, that
it is admirably fitted by nature for the pur-
pose of manufacturing glass.
1t was thought sometime since that
Glass House would have been set in oper-
alton at that place, but il seems there has
been some small opposition made by some
of the glass manufacturers do,cn West OF
Us, which, has delayed the project mater''
ally. We trust however tina: this opposition
when il becomes fairly understood, will not
amount to much, aud that they will ere long
have the satisfaction of shipping glass and
iron in large quantities mnde from material
found in Maine. There is no doubt oft
and our Western friends will find us trea-
ding upon their manufacturing, heels every
year, till we step beyond them Me Farmer

MIcHIcAN.-The federal papers are ear,
nestly endeavoriug to mistify the return,
from Michigan, but from what we gather
there is bu, little doubt the State is ours.

mail, assures us the State is ours by the
concession ofthe wings there. The North
ern federal papers copy each others state
ments claiming the State for their side, but
they avoid bossting-there is a subdued
tone about their language that looks rather
for their prospec,s.-Ibid.

The alledged defalca,ions Of Mr.. Swart-
won't, late Collector at New York, are max.
ing good deal of noise in tho country.
The Globe says that so far as the inves-
iigation has proceeded, it appears that the
pecualions commenced as early as. 1880

Quoted and concealed his enormous depre-
dations, we have not heard. We under
stand that the deeply laid and widely extern
ded contrivances TO effect aud conceal the
frauds, have not yet been thoroughly pene-
trated by the officers engaged in exploring
them. Whether he made his accounts hal
ance by fictitious credits or merchants
bonds, we know not, but have some rea-
sons TO believe that this was the case"
On the other hand, Majr. Noah, of the
n. Y. Evening Star, who was formerly in
the Custom House, and who ought to
know something about the manner of con-
Quoting the business, says
"Any one familiar with the mode of
transacting public business at the Custom
House, the checks, and balances, and
monthly reports, must be aware that de-
falcatiou tn an amount SO enormous cannot
possibly be true.
1t rs known that every dollar received BY
the Collector. and every bond IN his pos
session is charged to his account, and when
the bond is paid and the money drawn for,
he is credited the amount. An immense
number of bonds in possession of the late
Collector yet unpaid is charged 10 him,
and we have understood, what is COM
mon occurrence, that he retains in his pos
sessinn n sum 10 meet the result of certain
U. s. suits now pending against him. We
are aware of the fact that Mr.. Swartwout
entered into large speculations Of real es-
tate, coal and copper mines, &c. &c. which,
by the arrangement of the currency and
exchanges, have not realized the anticipa-
ted profits. This property he has on hand,
and is now employed in England in efforts
to sell, besides other pecuniary operations.
On the final settlement of his accounts
we do not believe he will fall short S200, 900,
and he has property TO half a million TO
meet it. He is expected back in few days,
aud we are satisfied that the Government,
and his sureties will meet with no loss in
the sequal.
. We believe that large amounts, on ac-
count Of the Government Of Texas, were
sccep,ed and paid by Mr.. Swar,wout, every
dollar of which is safe, and we also know
the fac, that so far from considering him.

DELAWARE Is OURS.

Robinson, democratic, is elected by 43
majority over Milligan, the present federal
member of Congress, and there is no doubt
that we have n majority in both branches
of the legislature, although the hocos clnim
it according to custom-they want to let
themselves down, easy.
This is an important victory, ms it not
only makes a change Of two votes in our
favor in the House of Representatives and
secures the election of democrat to the
Senate in the place of Mr.. Bayard, IA cher.
ished leader in the federal ranks, but in
case the election of President should fall
upon the House of Representatives her
vote will tie that of New York, each State
having but one vote.

BY way of contrast to the infamous con-
duct of the whig Clerks of MddIesex and

facts in relation to the conduct of certain
democratic Clerks. In the township ot
Vernon, Sussex County, the Inspectors o.
mitted in their return, 33 votes given to Mr.
Randolph, one of the whig candidates fol
Congress, the Clerk discovered the omis
sion, sent forthwith to the Inspectors TO cor,
rect their return, and added the 33 votes to
the other votes Of Mr.. Randolph in the
county. la one Of the townships of Somer-
set, which gave larger whig majority than
the whole county, the returns were as i'm
perfect MS those of Millvile, and had the
clerk of Somerset withheld the votes of thnl
township as did tie Clerk of Cumberland
the votes of MIlville, Somerset would have
sent democratic members to the Legislature.
In only one township of Morris County was
the returns certified to under seal, and that
township gave a democratic majority; ol
course, had The Clerk of Morris acted like
the Clerk of Cumberland, Morris County
must have sent democratic members 10 the
Legislature, and given democratic major
ity in both branches of That body. In every
township Of Passaic excepting one, The re.
turns were also defective. Indeed had tn,
