The INFIDEI's Dying DAUGHTER.-Col. Allen,
of Vermont, was an ayowed delst, and the au-
thor of several works against the Christian re-
ligion. But how little faith he possessed IN the
hour of danger and of death, is evinced by the
following fact: While reading some of his own
writings to a friend who was on a visit to his
house, he received information that his daugh-
ter was at the point of death. His wife was
pious woman, who had instructed the daughter
in the principals of Christianity. When the father
appeared at the bedside, his daughter said to
him. : | am about to die; shall believe IN the
principles you have taught me, or shall believe
IN what my mother has Taught me On near,
ing this question he became much agitated, and
after waiting few minutes, replied: Believe
What yonr mother has taught yon"

Springs combining together, form little rivu-

lgThe number of passens els that reached
San Francisco by sea, for the first nine months
of 1858, ending Sept. 30. was 27,793, OF whom
%. .S2l were males, 445I females, and 7l3 chill
dren The departures during the same time
amounted to %, ,S43; showing an excess OF arri-
walls by sea of 7152. For the last three months
the departures have exceeded the arrivals In
the month of September our population was
diminished seaward 1887. Probably 1000 I'M
migrants have. reached the State overland this
season; which would make the total addition
to our population this year not more than | 90
This number will be increased by the overland
Immigrants on the way, and those who may be
expected by sea, to about $4,000 by the end OF
the year. This shows lamentable falling OH III
the rate OF increase of our population, when
compared with former years. The low rates OF
passage charged to those leaving, and the high
rates to those arriving, have had not little IN,
huence in producing this result They should
in justice to the State be equalized, for as they
now stand they operate as a direct premium to

SCHOOLS IN SAN FRAAcIsco.-In the report OF
the late Grand Jury in San Francisco. the toi-
lowing strong language is used:
The condition Of our public schools has been
a matter of grave consideration with the Grand
Jury. Fifteen hundred children now attend
these schools. The teachersare we'll qualified
the Superintendent Mr. Nevins, most faithful
and energetic; but the shameful condition OF
the miserable buildings rented for school houses
must almost set at naught the efforts OF teachers
TO do their duty, and prevent the pupils from
profiting by their instructions. We cannot lind
words too strong to express our indignation at
the neglect of this vital department of our city
government. The pens in which the children
of our citizens are crowded together are dis
grace to Christian land, and make the system
Of free schools, SO proudly pre-cminent in other
cities mere mockery here. We found small
rooms, on rickety second floors, containing from
fifty to sixty children each, many OF them under
the age of six years, and other apartments
with from eighty to one hundred boys and girls
packed away as if for transportation With
hardly room to move between the long rows OF
scholars, many of whom are unprovided with
desks, the teachers still labor zealously in theil
vocation having not only this evil to combat
but each of them at lenst double the number o.
pupils W which should properly be placed under
| the charge OF one person.
