TUESDAY, MORNING, MARCH "a, 1916.

The seconds and Mr.. Coleman Immediately
eft the ground. Doctor Mclean approached
the PROSTATE man, and made hasty examina-
ton of his wound. The ball had passed
through his liver and lungs.
Sir - said he, 81 am sorry to say that you
ale MORALLY wounded; and as a brave and
honorable man, | wish you to give me your
word that you will not divulge the names of
the parties in this unfortunate business"
"You have my promise, Sir, said Captain
Thompson.
The doctor placed the wounded man in his
gig, and carried him down to his lodgings, we
believe in Beekman street, saw him comfor,a-
bly, disposed of, and left him. Capt. Thomp-
son resolutely refused to name any one as con-
nected with the affair, said it was all fair and
proper, and on his death the coroners Jury
could not, after long session, obtain any clue
to the names Of the parties, and it was not for
some years that the whole particulars were
publicly known Of this extraordinary duel.

THE COLUMBIA BRIDGE ON FIRE. About
one halfof the roof of the west span of the Co.
lumbia and Philadelphia Rail Road Bridge, at
Peters Island, was destroyed by fire, on Satur-
day morning. The bridge took FIRE from the
sparks of the locomotive of the fast passen.
ger train to Harrisburg, which had just passed
over. The fire was speedily extinguished by
the men employed at the Inclined Plane. The
two locomotives Of the Reading cars being
handy, they were brought into requisition, and
bringing the water from the tanks, it was
thrown on with buckets. The men worked
very hard, at times fairly battling with the
flames. The women also turned out and as.
sisted. The wind was blowing a gale right
through the bridge at the time, and its escape
from total destruction is truly fortunate. The
men in cutting away part of the roof to
stop the progress of the flames, severed the
wires of the New York Telegraph which ran
on the top of the bridge, causing a temporary
interruption in the line ofmagnetic communi.
cation. There was no interruption in the
passage of the cars over the bridge. The re.
pairs can be made at an expense of probably
$1,000

ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM PRIsoN. A
Convict Shot! A desperate negro convict,
named Gibbs, who had already served 10 years
in the penitentiary for arson, and was under 9
years sentence again for burglary, made bold
effort to escape from prison at Harrisburg, Pa,
on Sunday, by knocking down the keeper, Mr.
Watson. The correspondent of the U. S. Ga
zette says
fortunately, Mr. Watson had one of Colts
revolving pistols, and after desperate scuffle
for possession of the weapon, in which MIR.
Watson's hand was severely lacerated, Mr..
w. shot Gibbs, first in the back, (reaching
round HIM and twice in the breast. The last
shot did the business.
Gibbs staggered into his cell, and in few
moments expired. This Gibbs was most
desperate villain, he attempted to bleed himself
to death shortly after he was sentenced, and
subsequently almost effected his escape through
the sky lights Of the Corridor, but fell. Mr..
Watson displayed great courage and presence
of mind, or he must himself have been killed
He had shut the iron grated door between the
/ front part OF the House and tile Prison Depart
ment, and therefore no one could come to his
assistance, although they heard the report of
/ the pistols and came as far as the door.
/ A Coroner's inquest was summoned, which
has not yet reported. Much excitement pre-
walls in the vicinity of the plison-Sunday is
our day OF greatest excitement Of late. Last
Sabbath all was uproar with the flood and
downfall of bridges.

AMERICAN MUSEUM. The proprietor has
rolled two Museums into one, having actually
added the whole of Peale's collection ofcurios-
tiles, to the American. The most valuable
part of these added attractions consists of the
vast collection of Portraits-25O in number,
and embracing original and faithful likenesses
OF The Great Men Of .4meriCa, by several of our
best native artists. This magnificent collection
now adorns the walls of the large lecture room,
which is without doubt the only place in the
country or in the world, where so many of our
distinguished men can be seen in portraiture-
together. There is scarcely an American who
is likely TO occupy place in the historic re-
cords OF the country, either as a civilian, or a.
meng her military or her naval heroes, whose
portrait is not here to be found, and the collec-
ton is rich too, in likenesses of those who have
been by any remarkable event of their lives or
by any circumstances calculated to give them
notoriety and distinction, "marked men among
their countiymen."
This museum is really, therefore, in this
feature of its attractions, the most interesting
spot which the visitor can find in the United
States, or elsewhere. Of the original .4meri-
can, we need not speak, for we have repeated
ly said Of it, what every one who visits its i'm
mense magazine Of cuIosites will find true
that there is no other institution of the kind in
the country, which has half its number Of OBJ
jects of curiosity, interest and instruction; nor
can there be found anywhere, an establishment
Of the kind under more efficient and satisfacto-
ry management. From the gentlemanly and
courteous manager down to the most subordi-
nate assistant, every thing is precisely as it
should be. There is besides all this, constant
succession of novelties in the shape of theatre
cal, musical, and other representations, the
principal attraction at present being the superb
set of Scripture VietUs represented in various
phases Of the respective localities, by those al
most magical Disabling pietcS, of which SO
much has been said Nothing can be more
beautiful or more instructive than these views.

EXTENSIVE TANNERY. At the establishment
of Pratt s. Watson, Prattsvile, Green county,

$3.50, 200, and the number of sides of lea Their
annually tanned, exceeds 10000. The tame
ry is conducted by Hon. Zadoc Pratt, and
John Watson, his partner, and is said to be the
most extensive in the United States There
are two other tanneres in the same town, en-
ploying about the same capital.

TO THE RIVER sUsoUEHANNA.

~ II IA M V In CDSNtOEH ANNA.
When late | stood upon thy shore
Ofsaads, that shine like sprinkled frost,
a CLEAN of visions came once more,
dee med forever, tveI lost.
No breezes on thy noiseess tide,
Bluc where the crystal waters flow,
And she whose eyes were by my side,
Revealed their blueness deep below.
The beautious stars shone faint and pale,
Aud o'er the blae cele stial stream
The moonlight hung a silvery veil,
Like twilight of a summer dream.
Afar and vague the fairy skiffs
Stole silently Within the maize,
To land their freight below the cliffs,
And vanished in the cleaning haze.
Upon thy banks on either side,
Tall mountains rising frem their source,
Like IN atied sentries, seem'd to guide
The waters in their onward course.
And sometimes o'er thy level face
Dark and long dipping arches span,
Where rocks have sought gathering place,
And clan makes clamor unto clan.
To thee, sweet river, then dcem'd
How like of life the winding stream,
As the mysterious moonlight cleaned,
So life is lit by ancy's CLEAN.
And in life's mirror two twin eyes,
Two fragment stars Of sanity light,
Are ouivering IN unclouded skies,
Ana shine to the ideal sight.
Upon its shores there awful stands
A monitor like misty air,
And warns from evils, ana commands
The erring 10 beware, beware!
And. vessels there forever run,
ETHEREAL, bubble-like, sublime,
Ard hear their burthen thought upon
The shifting, sandy shores time.
And sometimes DER its gliding waves
4 gloomy bridge disease extends,
WhEre load and wild deirum raves,
And pain with wild confusion blends.

those textbooks which have short notes, Illus
tratlve of construction and dioms, and the re-
lection of those banes of sound scholarship
works overloaded with peace-meal transa-
tons; which render at once into English the
difficult passages, instead of indicating the
course to be pursued and compelling the stu
dent TO labor for himself.
Ii, by the Investigations ofthe ripe scholars of
Germany, method has been discontinued by
which the learned languages may be taught
more readily and with more interest than form
erly, the lovers of sound scholarship are bound
to investigate the subject, and teachers are
bound to eXpend time and labor in mastering
the new system and adapting their instruction
to the advances made in this us III other branch
es.
True, those who estimate every thing by dol
lars and cents, may not properly regard these
unobtruslVe and, in their estimation, unprofita-
BILE lahors ofthe teacher. But such criterion
would soon bring the business of education to
very low standard, and would reduce our
calling to the art of teaching the ''three RS
reading, riting and rithmetic."
The teacher has higher object than merely
to bring out money-making faculties and train
the selfish propensities of his pupils. He has,
in the noblest sense, to educate, to train, to in
struct, to induce thought, to habituate to study
and self-reliance, and to arouse pure and lofty
aspirations He has to guide the young in the
formation of habit and of opinion. He must
educate them; not cheat them with the mere
phantom of education.
Let teachers, then, understand their calling;
labor to elevate its standard; unite to expel the
idle drones who fatten upon the gullblity Of
the publc and train themselves to maintain
standing that shall favorably compare with the
other learned professions. Teaching, in this
city, has too much the aspect Of trade. Each
teacher seems bent upon success in making mo-
ney; as though his responsibility as the moulder
Of the minds and hearts of the young; as though
the elevation of the standard of education were
OF no account in the comparison. 1t is the du-
ty Of the Institute to arrest this evil; to arouse
q better spirit; to bring the teacher into contact
with his fellow laborer; to excite discussion; to
encourage all engaged in the good work to in
termngle their sympathies; TO strengthen their
hopes; and to animate them to faithful and a
patient endurance of a laborious and self deny
ing life.
After few remarks from MIR. Strceter, the
further discussion of the subject was postponed
to The next meeting of the Institute.
