PHTLknE1ruIA, February 10, 1888.
ENOR twenty years | was severely afflicted with
TErrEu on tho Face and Head: the disease

the eruption, frequently attended with violent itch.

CoNMos SonooL RETuRSs.-lt will be seen by
reference to our prper Of last week, that an mpor
tapt alteration was made al the last session OF the
Legislature in regard 10 the returns to be made an
nually to the Town Clerk, by the Clerks of School
Districts. 1t becomes their duty to make return
of the names of children between the age Of and
Ia years as well as the names OF their parents or
heads of families Also to certify the number of
weeks a school shall have been taught by male
and female teacher, and the amount of wages
given &c each Also the number Of scholars that
have attended school, and the amount Of public
money received by the district the preceding year.
The form in which the return is to be made is pre-
scrbed, as may be seen by reference 10 our paper.
II is also made the duty of each Town Clerk to
transmi, the information thus obtained to the Gov
ernor, on or before the second Thursday in Octo-
Der, annually, according to prescribed form
The information thus obtained may, if rightly
used, be made TO subserve the cause of public edu-
cation Yet it seems to us that the information
thus obtained will, after all, be very mesgrc and
unsatisfactory. In addition to this, it seems to us
important to ascertain the number of private
schools and academies there are in the State; how
many children attend them, and what is paid for
their support We want also to know what is the
course of studies pursued in schools, and what
books are studied in the various branches One
great cause of the ineficency of our schools is
the want of order, system, in the studies attended
to- 1t is TO be feared that in many of our schools
the studies pursued and the books used, are eii
pretty much TO chance, TO the whims of children
or the parilalities of teachers who being frequent
ly changed, corresponding changes will take place
in systems OF study and discipline, and in the
books used However, we are glad that our Legs
latures have done any thing, and what they have
done we trust will prepare the way for more 10 be
accomplished soon.

FRIDAY, DEC. J, is43.

We publish once more "THE CALL" for Rail
Road Convention, TO be held in this village next
Tuesday the 9th inst. We have frequently call
ed the attention of readers to this Convention,
that we trust il is deeply impressed on their minds.
The occasion is one of such deep interest and im-
portance, both 10 individuals and 10 the public,
that we anticipate large concourse. We hope
to see the friends of this enterprise, who live at
distance, as well as those who dwell near, present
on that day The extension Of the Fitchburg Rail
Road 10 Vermont wi u mark an in the business
and prosperity of this part Of the country II will
give stimulus TO business Of every kind, which
nothing else can give. And now is the time to
urge the project forward. Every thing is favorable.
The time is propitous. The public are awake TO
its Importance. Money is abundant. Labor is
cheap The price Of materials is low. Farmers,
Mechanics, Merchants, fellow citizens, whatever
be your occupation, you interested, deeply inter-
estcd in this enterprise.
Do not tail then TO be here on the 9Th Come
yourselves and bring your neighbors TO this great,
and important meeting. This is not the time for
sloth or inaction Every man must do his duty
Resolution and perseverance will accomplish this
road in very short tune; and shall then be in
the very precincts of Boston. Travel and trans
porta,on will be greatly facilitated and the ex-
pensc of both materially lessencd. The resources OF
velopcd in a wonderful manner; their riches will
be carried to distant lands, and the wealth OF the
ocean will be laid at our doors

ON WITNESSING A BAPTISM.
ny N. P. WILLIS.

She stood up IN the meekncss OF heart
Resting on God, and held her fair young child
Upon her bosom, with its gentle eyes
Folded in sleep, as if its soul had gone
TO whisper the boptismnl vow in heaven
The prayer went up devoutly and the lips
OF the good man glowed (ervenily with faith
That il would be, even as he had prayd,
And the sweet child be gather'd TO the fold
OF Jesus. As the holy words went on,
Her lips move silently, and tears, fast tears,
Stole from beneath her lashes, and upon
The forehead of the beautiful child lay soft
With the baptsmal water. Then thought
That, TO the eye of God, that mothers tears
Would be deeper covenant-wbch sin,
And the temptations Of the world, and death,
Would leave unbroken--and that she would know
In the clear light of heaven, how very strong
The prayer which press them from her heart ha'
been
In leading its young spirit up 10 GOd.Ne,o Mirror

MOUNT HOLLY.

We thank our Mount Holly friend for his COM
muncation on the Rail Road and Slavery. We
are glad that an interest is felt the subject of
Rail Road at that place. We are strong in the
faith that the day is not distant when the good
people Of Mount Holly and the region round about,
will see the steam cars flying along between their
mountains, afiording facilities for travelling and
transportation which will be of immense service
10 them. And we hope many of our friends from
Mount Holly and the neighborhood will be present
at the Convention in this village next Tuesday.
We can assure our correspondent that our whole
soul rises up in rebellion against the accused IN
stitution of slavery. And it is our determination
in future, as in past days, to utter our deep CON
domination of that stain on our beloved country
We shall contend for the great principles of the
Declaration of Independence, until they are fully
enjoyed by all our brethren of the human race OF
whatever color cline.

TEACHERS ATTEND.


Mrs. Sigourney in her "Pleasant Memories, of
Pleasant Lands" writes concerning Victoria,
Queen Of England, Ss follows -" Her voice is
clear and melodious, and her enunciation so cor
rect that every word of her speech was distinctly
audible TO the farlhest extremity Of the House Of
Lords She possesses in an eminent degree the ac-
complishment of fine reading. could not help
wishing that the fair daughters OF my own land,
who wear no crown save that of loveiness and vir-
tue, would more fully estimate the worth OF this
accomplishment, and more faithfully endeavor TO
acquire it. For remembered how often, in our
own semnares of education, had listened almost
breathlessly to sentiments, which knew from the
lips that uttered them must be true and beautiful
but only stHed sounds, or few uncertain murmur-
ings repaid the toll And wish all who conduct the
education Of young Ladies would insist on at least
an audible uiterance, and not consider their own
Office to be faithfully filed, unless correct and
graceful eocution is attained" The same remarks
might be Justly made in regard to our schools for
the education Of boys and young men, as well as
those in which females are taught. For il is al
most universal fault in our schools, that the
reading is indistinct and inaudble. And perhaps
there is nothing in which our teachers are more apt
to fail than in training their pupils to deliberate
clear, articulate, graceful elocu,on. And we
would impress on the minds of the teachers Of onl
schools, the importance OF greater and more esPe-
cial attention to this subject.

A meeting was held at New York Saturday
afternoon the subject of Post Office Reform A
memorial to Congress was adopted representing to
that body
That the Rates of Postage now imposed by the
Government cxhorbltant, oppressive TO the
People, and calculated To defeat their avowed object
of making the P. o. Department pay its own ex-
penses;
That the Frankng Privilege ought to be utterly
abolished, except as it may be expedent to allow it
to the strictly official correspondence Of the
p o. Department ITSELF
That uniform rate of Postage Of one.half cent
on every Newspaper, Periodical, OF Printed Sheet,
conveyed in the Mail when the Postage is paid in
advance, and double that sum each sheet which
may be conveyed, when it is not so paid in ad-
vance
That the reduction of our Rates of Postage to
sums computed, and payable in the Federal Cur
rency of this Union, is demanded by just regard
TO National character, no less than to the obvious
convenience of the People;
That penal enactments to compel the People to
support the 2. o. ought to be abolished,
