The JecS.-Mr. Noah, in the Evening
Star OF Saturday, himselfa Jew, says
1t is true that all the civilized powers of
Europe have removed nearly ali the disa-
biIities under which the ancient people have
for centuries struggled; but something more
remaias to be done. A great, an impor-
tant act ot.justice remains yet to be consul
mated, and it can only be done by and with
the consent and eXortions of christendom:
namely-t0 restore TO the .jcws their rights
as q nation. If the ancient heritage of the
Jews was now in possession of the Chris
tians, not day would be lost in calling the
Jews together, aud re-eslabIishing the So
ycreignty Of the people, as promised to
them by their King and Lord of Heaven
and Earth, repeatedly in every page Of
Scripture. 1t would be the pride of good
Christians men who understood the rel-
gion they prolessed-to be the instrument
under Providence OF aiding in the fulfil
ment OF the divine promise, but powerful
people Of mixed religion, many ccntu-
ries behind the age, are in possession of
the Holy Land, and the great advent can
only be brought about through the influence
Of the Christians powers uniting in repre-
scnting to the Egyptian Sovereign their
anxious wishes and ardent hopes that he
viii consent to the restoration Of the Jew
iSh nation, under such stipuIations and
considerations as shall be mutually agreed
upon.

ALEssON TO TEACHERS.

In the last number ofthe Common School
journal, is an excellent article on the sub,
cct of " management of disObcdient chill
dren," a subject which few parents or in
structors appear to understand. From this
article we copy the following interesting
anecdotc:-
"At Common School Convention in
Iamden county, we heard the Rev. Dr.
Cooley relate an anecdotc strikingy illus
tratiyc of this principle. He said, that
many years ago, young man went into
district to keep school, and, before he
had been there week, many persons
came to see him, and kindly told him, that
there was one boy in the school whom it
would be necessary to whip every day lea
ding him TO infer, that such was the custom
Of the school, and that the Inference Of in
Justice towards the boy should be drawn,
whenever he should escape, not when he
should suffer. The teacher saw the affair
in a different light. He treated the boy with
signal kindness and attention. At first,
this novel course seemed TO bcwilder him.
He could not divine its meaning. But,
when the persevering Kindness OF the teach
or, Ecgat kindred sentiment Of kindness
in the pupil his whole nature seemed trans
formed. Old impulses died. A new Gre
alton Of motives supplied their place. Ne
yer was there a most dilgent, obedient,
and successful pupil, and moac, said the
reverend gentleman, in concluding his mar
rative, that boy is the Chief Justice Of a
neighboring State. The reIator of this sto-
ry, though he modesty kept back the fact
was himself the actor If the Roman Just
Iy bestowed civic crown upon a soldier
who had saved the life of a feIIow-soldier
in battle, what honors are too great for a
teacher who has thus rescued a child from
ruin"

Too Particular.-A gontlemanwho had
sat half minute to have his miniature ia
ken by the DaguerrcotyPe, was surprised
on looking at the picture, 10 see a spot on
his cheek which he was sure did not belong
to him. Daguerrc would have been set
down as q liar at once, but for his we'll es-
tablishcd reputation Of always speaking the
truth; yet there was plain contradiction
between the picture and the original, as
they both stood together. A microscope
was brought, and then the spot was seen
to be the well defined miniature of fly,
who had seized that occasion TO get his
own likeness taken, and so had stood upon
the gentleman's cheek unobserved

Steamboat Speed. recent trip Of
Tie Cleveland and Buffalo to Green Bay,
with Col. Worth's regiment, afforded a
pretty fair opportunity of testing the speed
Of our best lake boats on long pull. The
Cleveland made The trip from Buffalo to
Green Bay and back, Il distance Of nearly
5000 miles (incuding stopages) in the al
most incredible short period Of nine days,
having on board going upwards of three
hundred persons, and large amount of
freight. The Buffalo left Green Bay al a
quarter past four o'clock on Monday P, Nj
and the Cleveland at I o'clock the same
evening. The Cleveland arrived at Bufl1-
10 at o'clock Thursday morning, just one
hour ia advance Of the Buffalo, making
three hours and three quarters difference
in the passage Of these boats.
The Buffalo Commercial undertook to

HORRIBLE MURDER OF SIX PERSONS.

HORRIBLE MURDER OF SIX PERSONS.
The Philadelphia Spirit of the Times
states that few days since, within two
miles of Shirleysburgh,, Huntingdon coun-
~, series Of murders was committed,
which, for atrociousness, have scarcely
parallel on record. No less than six hui
man beings were hurried from time 10
eternity, by the hand of cold-booded
murderer, viz: Il Mrs. Brown. and her five
children, from tho age Of II TO 10 years.
The old lady was found with her throat
cut-the son, aged 81, and the daughter,
about Is, with rifle balls through their bod
les-the three younger cues with their
brains knocked out with stones, in a field
hard by the dwelling house-supposed 10
have fed on Witnessing the butchcrv Of
their mother, &c. Mr.. Brown was from
home, and on his return, Il snort time af-
ter his family were murdered, was fired at
twice from the barn, the last ball taking
effect, ranging along the lower jaw and
passing through the ear. He was stunned,
but did not fail. At the moment OF Iccci-
wing the second fire he saw Il man Jump
from the barn loft and make for the woods.
This man he believed to be his own som
in-Iaw, by name, Canaughy.
On this suspicion, or rather strong be-
lief, Canaughy was arrested, and the tes-
timony taken before the examining and
committing magistrate, went to fix guilt
strongly upon him.

Affecting Iacjdem.-The husband Of a
poor woman residing with her three infant
children III the western part OF the town,
had abstainct from the "crathur" for near
ly year, until last week when he bccam
sayagely drunk-aEd beat his wife us if
he had resolved to murder hcr-Was ar
rested, tried. and committed, and consigned
to the tender mcrcies of the "donjon keep"
The wife, forgetting the recent brutality
Of the father of her children, in the re-
membrance Of his former kindness, follow
ed BIN 10 ;he jail,and made strenuous and
perseyering application for his release, urg-
ing with touching eIoquencc that she was
ircndIcss woman, soon again to become
Il m,thcr, and her three little children were
alone, among strangers, without friends Of
protection, and without food or decent
clothing Those to whom she applied
either had not the power or were not sat-
isfed of the propricty of liberating HIM,
and she was cast upon the charity of our
citizens.
A day or two since, as last resoursc,
she appealed to the Judge Of our County
Court, and was successful. Fastening
with glad heart to the jail, with the order
for her husbands liberation, she found
him -dead.

Prescncc Of Mind.--A few days ago,
says the Trenton Gazette, as the afternoon
train of cars from Camden was approach
ing the three locks, near Lamberton, the
engineer discovered a boy lying between
the rails at short distance in advance,
and apparently fast asleep. He saw at
once that he could not stop the train entire
~, before reaching the place where the boy
was lying, and that if the boy should be
awakened, he would probably jump up just
in time 10 throw himself in the way of the
train. He therefore put the train at the
top Of its speed, and dashed over the body
as quickly as possible. He then stopped
the train and returned 10 sec whether any
Injury had been done to him. He could
not be seen at first, but was soon discove-
red among the bushes on the side Of the
road, running off as fast as he could. On
icing called back, it was found that he had
escaped almost all injury. One of his feet
happening TO lie near the rail, the fange
of the wheel had cut off a part of the flesh
of the heel but had not touched the bone.

E,lTRAvAGANcE Is TOO MUCH TUE ORDER


Formerly whom young man commcn-
ced business, it was with Il little capital
earned as journeyman or clerk. He
had learned not only the habits Of BUSH
ness, but the worth Of money by earning
it. lie began in Il small way, and by the
iudicious management Of his 'two talents"
gained others too. He hired small house
in a cheap part Of the town, bought plain
furniture, and spread his table with whole
some provisions. He was in his store or
shop early and la;e; nothing was too low
for him to inspect in person. He paid lit
he horse hire for pleasure rides; little for
expensive journeys. Travelling took him
from business, and was vastly expensive.
His wife had an excellent and providcnt
mother, who taught her how to make the
most of a haIf-worn garment, and Of Il
leisure hour; had taught her to blush when
she asked her husband to pay a seamstrcss
for doing what her own nimblc fingers
could accomplish The rains Of this were
slow but sure. His wants were small. aud
as he approached the evening of life he
found himself clear Of debt, and possessed
Of a liberal competence. His children
trained up TO sell-dcnyng business, were
prepared TO live by their own cXcrtions,
and hardly needed the potrimony of their
father, except as a token Of his affection.
This was the way our fathers lived. 1t
was this that laid the foundation of our m
toms prosperity.

F'%ALE or THE OREGON EXPEDITION.
a letter has recently been received by
Mr.. BuThans, OF TazcwelI county, from
Capt. Thomas J. Farnham, leader of the
party of fourteen Pcorians, who set out
year ago for Oregon, written at Oker, one
OF the Sandwich Islands, IN January last.
Our latest previous adyices from Capt
F.Iell him at Browns Hole, in the Rocky
Mountains, with only one Of his Peoria
companions, waiting to fall in with some
company bound to the Columbia River
Though in his letter ne does not mention
the fact, yet it is presumed he did fall in
with such company, and thai he prosccu-
ted his Journey with them. He now states
that in every respect the country has been
oycrratcd--lhat excepting the valley of the
Wiihamct--the seat of the Methodist ms
aioH--no portion Of the territory through
which he passed presents any thing at
tractive, or offers any inducements to far
mcrs or any class of immigrants. In a
word, all the uufavorabIc representations
that were made to HIM by returning travel
Icrs, whom he met on the Journey, and to
which he then lent an incrcdulous car,
were abundanl}y realized.
Mr.. BurhanS did rot bring IN Capt. F.'s
letter, but he authorizes us to say that the
foregoing expresses the substance Of it
Capt. +. had entirely recovered his health
and intended taking passage for the Mexi-
can coast by the tirst vessel, whence he
would proceed 10 Santa Fe and thence to
81. Louis with some one Of the trading
companies which are almost monthly Ieav-
ing that post; So that he may be expected
here in July or August.
We give entire credit TO these statements
of Capt Farnham. lie left here detcrmi-
ned to reach the mouth Of the Columbia
river or perish. and with the bona fidc IN
tention OF settling permanently in Oregon.
One by one he saw his companions be-
como diSheartened Mt the pcriIs before
them and return, until he was left at an
isolated spot in the wilderness with a soli-
tarv follower out Of the fourteen who en-
barked with him. These repeated delec-
tons increased instead Of subduing his adj
vcnturous spirit, and he finally succeeded,
against every obstacle, in accomplishing
! the leading object of his journey, perhaps
at greater hazards than ever before fell to
the lot OF any adyenturer in those regions.
He was observed to keep journal, in
WHICH he has doubtless faithfully recorded
all his observations. and we presume he
will publish it shortly after his return. Oh
ms capacity for such task, no traveller
who has yet visited that country possesses
a higher since he has added 10 collegiate
education in this country course of study
in the first universities of England. He
just the man TO make the very best book
that has yet been wri'tcnupo the Oregon
territory.
