Mr.. Andrews and his Pre-eminent
d.. Ability. .. .r... .

The Ohio Journal of Education, paper
that took ground in favor of Mr.. ANDREWS
for School Commissioner before the law was
passed or the office created, and that too,
while Andrews was the controlling editor,
in Q late number speaks of its choice as pos
sessins pre-emipent ability. Let us test this
high praise. rs. r~s ...,s .a
Some years since, Mr.. Andrews drew up
a school law, which was reported in the
House of Representatives, by Mr.. FAIRcHTLn,
of Greene, which divided the State into five
districts and appointing a State Superintend-
ent for each-four of whom, if our recollec,
tion serves us, Were to pass round their res
pective districts and examine school teach
ers at $1 per head, while the fifth was to re-
maine in Columbus and edit school Jour-
nal This notable scheme, after its passage,
remained, and until repealed by the law of
last winter, continued to remain, dead let
ter on our statute books. lis crudities and
absurdities were standing joke, and no
member who vote! for, ever dared defend
1T. So heartily were the members ashamed
oft, that quorum could not be got togeth-
er to elect the School Commissioner during
the session which gave it birth, and by the
next session it was the laughing-stock of the
whole country. If this be sample Of the
pre-enine,8 ability of Mr.. Lorn Andrews,
the Ohio Journal of Education can make
the most OF it. .. s a..t'

Sharon Springs.

SHARON SPRINGS, July 5, 1858.
Before leave this place, propose to give You
q slight sketch Of the impressions which few
days soourn have made upon my mind. Taking
the one o'clock P. NJ Hudson River railroad train from
New York last Saturday, we arrived in Albany at IS
P. NJ and were Immediately transferred to the Cen
trail Road, which landed US, after most delightful
ride through highly cultivated, and rather pictu
rescue country, at Palatine Bridge, at about s. p
NJ. at which place we took stage and arrived here
about III O'clock which was much later than the
usual hour of arrival, but which was owing to the
large number of persons who had arrived in previous
trains, and who were sent over In the best stages
thus leaving us an inferior team. The Pavilion to
which we bent wsy, is large, spacious, and re-
markably clearly house capable OF accommodating
about three hundred people. 1t is built facing the
southeast position that would be perfectly unpar-
donabe did not the view which bursts upon the
sight on that side of the house rresistby tempt the
architect to teviate from any and every rule OF post
tinn rather than sacrifice such charming prospect
Situated on very high summit. but one OF gradual
ascent, in the heart of boldly rolling country,
where the luxufiant valley and the verdant hill top
blend in harmonious scene, where the road,
at ore moment visible, is ct another lost IN the
growing crops Of some well cutivate6 field, or be-
hind some quiet and comfortable farm house which
rises unpreendingy at the bottom of the slope, the
Pavilion presents point Of observation from which
the eye may wander over most beautiful landscape,
bounded only by range Of hills skirtng the hori-
zon, whose misty tops are lost in the clouds they
GEEK to penetrate. But one thing is wanting to per-
feet the scene, and that is some limpid stream or
crystal lake, which might reflect back the beauties
by which it would be surrounded. Even with this
deficiency however Sharon is beautiful; and the de-
lightful mountain air does quite as much, we doubt
not, to restore nvaids, as the sulphur springs for
which this place is celebrated. The house is we'll

siderable damage in the course of the season. There

UNITED STATES HOTEL,

DAhAIptA bfhlNOS, July l50Jt1
For some time past have been luxuriating among
tie quiet shades OF this beautiful Saratoga. Such is
the astonishing rapidly with which, in these days Of
iron and team, we transferred from one spot to
another that had scarcely taken seat in the cars,

fore was shaking hands with Mr.. Marvin the pro-
prietor Of the United States Hotel in this place.
truly pity those who, from press Of business or other
causes, are compelled to endure the sufocaton and
heat OF the city. What blessing it would be if all
in their turn, could for short time exchange the
hot pavements and scorching sun for the cool, and
balmy breezes that delight to lnger around this old
and time-honored watering place. What magic there
is in the very of Saratoga. II conjures no from
the misty past thousand sweet and inspiring me
mories. How many, upon whom the cares Of life
have pressed heavily, have here found few days or
weeks respite from anxiety and toll How many
weary and responding invalids have here regained
the exulting throb," and slipped health and happi-
ness from the life-giving fountain And how many
fascinating bellies whose charms, alas, have long
since fed, have here won their proudest trumphs.
