CHARGE OF MURDER AND THEFT.

Two men were arrested last night, and COM
mitted to prison by Justice Thompson, on the
above charge, and were brought out for exami-
nation this morning at eleven o'clock; but an
important witness being absent, they were re-
manded for further examination. The offence
is said to have been committed upon the Orange
railroad, in Virginia. The names Of these men
are unknown. r
The manner Of their arrest was in this wise.
One Of them was sent from tavern near the
railroad depot to change ten-dollar bill but
as he stayed rather long, the owner of the bill
had him pursued and arrested by an officer
When brought before the Justice he was re-
tanned, with his sympathizing friend, to answer
to the more serious charge. $3.50

the afflicted ones laughed very heartily at find
ing nothing within the envelopes but caricatures
Of themselves and other quizzical pictures.
A handsome young friend of ours received,
by the same messenger, q negative from his
sweetheart, and the assurance that his uncle,
from whom he had important expectations, had
failed. He would have been very miserable
had his quizzing correspondent not made some
little plumbers of facts, one of which he assures
us was the taking for granted that he had popped
the question. If he had done SO, he says,
and if the lady had said 'syes," then he would
have been fooled. But we do not think he is
candid on this last-named subject,

CARPENTERS, STRIKE.

We understand that the Journeymen Carpen-
tiers of our City have to-day g struck" for higher
wages. Heretofore they have received from one
dollar and twenty-five cents to one dollar seventy
five per day. They now demand two dollars.
We hope their demands are made after due de-
liberation, with wisdom and policy, and the de-
termination and ability to avoid all backward
steps in future. Labor is the only true capital
with which to enrich a country, and laborers
are the only men on whom to depend for ma
tional prosperity and greatness Two dollars a
day will not corrupt the carpenters of this CITY.

BOOKS AND THINGS.


In speech by DANIEL WEBSTER, within the
year past, at an Agricultural Fair in Massachu-
sets, he remarked that " the knowledge we OBJ
tanned from books was very little, and that little
not worth much. From objects around us, and
from intercourse with, each other, we obtain
nearly the whole, and by far the most useful,
knowledge we possess. This sentiment is be-
coming exceedingly common in special relation
to schools, as wen it may be. Mere "BooK
SCHOOLS" never do, and never can, make any
thing like adequate returns for the time and
money expended upon them. Very often the
expense bestowed upon them is entirely lost, or
much worse than lost, as children get distaste
for every thing connected with schools, and are
not unfrequently injured in their morals. sa.;
A single glance at the subject must convince
amy one that knowledge gained from objects Of
nature and art must be more appropriate for
young minds than any that is or can be obtained
from books. Words are nothing more than the
arbitrary signs Of ideas; especially as found in
books. The knowledge obtained through them
is hence always indirect, and, to young minds,
difficult, uncertain, or erroneous, and frequent
ly irksome. Things--works Of nature and art
speak for themselves. They convey knowledge
at a glance--real, substantial knowledge, leav-
ing no uncertainty Of its character. tits hence
source Of the highest possible qualification 70
children. This important fact explains the re-
mark OF Lord Brougham, that eff we should be
deprived Of what We learn before three years
old, we should be the most ignorant people on
the face Of the globe" 1t must be n source Of
great qualification to parents to know that. with
these sentiments now pervadng the communists.

parts Of the country to introduce into schools.
