Tide of Emigration from Europe.

No less than 30O,992 emigrants landed at the
port of New York alone, during the year of 1852.
Almost one thousand per day. Over three hun
dred thousand stout, active emigrants-European
by birth, but Americans by choice. Their chill
dren will be natives of American soil, their prop
erty, their sympathies, their energy and their all,
entirely American. They bring strong arms and
warm hearts to the country of their adoption
Shall we not extend to them the welcome they
deserve? To those who would spurn the broth
erhood of such people, we would say, remember
that Lafayette, De Calb, Pulaski, and thousand
others, too, were foreigners. The soil of every
revolutionary battle field was stained by foreign
Blood shed in defence of freedom and America.
The Pilgrim Fathers, to whose devoted zeal, and
intrepid exertion, we owe all that we are, or ever
may be, whose memory we so fondly cherish and
devoutly reverence, were but emigrants. How
many are there among who can boast of pure
and unadulterated Yankee origina Not one. The
blood of the foreigner in the veins of every
member of Uncle SANS great family. Let us
then treat our "kindred' with proper courtesy.
At the present rate of emigration, and the ordi-
nary natural increase of population, the Union in
1862 will contain at least s5,ooO,oOO; aside from
the annexation of Cuba, Honduras, the Sandwich
Islands, and all Canada. Well, ''vot of it."

Scarcity of Food i'm England and
France.

According to the Washington Union, it will re-
qure 2O,OOO,OOO quarters of grain more than its
own crop, to supply the wants of Great Britain
during the coming year. France is little better
off; in fact most of the countries in Europe, will
have little or no surplus grain during the year
The Sultan has forbidden the export of grain from
Turkey, and in short time none will be obtained
from Egypt. Owing to the overfowing of the
Nile at an earlier period than usual, the harvest
was in measure destroyed. The Russian war
will doubtless in a measure put stop to the ex-
ports from the Battle.
Thus it will be seen that almost the whole OF
this demand will be supplied from this country
What France and England would do for bread
stuffs, were it not for this country, we unable
to conjecture. And yet these are the Govern
ments that make protests when this nation sees fit
to negotiate with Cuba, the Sandwich Islands, or
Honduras, and presumes to "set bounds to the
limits of our Republic, and suppress the Demo
cratic instincts of the American people,"

Sandwich Islands.

These Islands, twelve in number, embrace a
superficial area of about two thousand and one
hundred square miles. Four of the number are
rocky and uninhabtable
Iti probable that before many weeks roll round
these islands will comprise one of the "United
States of America"
Hon Luther Severance, U. S. Commissioner to
the Hawaiian Government is vested with full
powers to bring about the negotiation. change
in the Cabinet of this Government is supposed as
being favorable exhibition of the people on the
subject.
1t is predicted that Mr.. Allen, the new Hawaiian
Minister will be one of the U. S. Senators, and
the Rev. DR.. Judd, his predecessor, will most
probably be the other. The salary of the present
King is $4,000 per annum-not very extrava-
giant amount for the support of royalty, surely.

Arctic Caves.

KArE-the Arctic Voyager-in describing some
Of his adventures in Bafin's bay, in 1851, has an
account of the ice caves and their echoes, which
is quite interesting:
'Some of the bergs were worn in deep, vault
like chasms, through which way was practicable
to broader caverns within. In these crystal soli-
tudes the echoes were startling.
ga whistle-your own whistle-you could
hardly recognize for the length and clearness of
the ring; the clang of ramrod was heard rum
ming down the ranks of whole army in review
and when you spoke, your words were repeated
through the motionless and elastic atmosphere in
syllables almost as long your breath could hold
out to make them. I tried hexameter we used
to quote at home, and it came back to me in slow
and distinct utterance, word for word. There is
a certain cousin of mine, whom remember an
noying in our school days, for the dispatch with
which he could say his prayers of frosty night
before Jumping in bed. My Cousins entire ra-
tions of winter prayer, I thought, would have
been repeated to him by single effort of these
echoes"

The State SCHOOL Superintendent

Mr.. Barney, the new Superintendent, has late-
y been giving the people at Dayton, specimen
Of his manner and ability as lecturer. The
Journal pays him the following neat com pliment:
"He demonstrated the advantage as well as the
necessity of system of "grades"-showing that
much valuable time was saved to the pupit--his
progress in study greatly promoted, and the whole
system of educational machinery kept in motion
at saving of more than hundred Thousand
dollars year. .-. l--sJ sSf 7'al
'There are other features of the new School
Law in regard to which many inquiries have been
made, but Mr.. Barney said he had been prevent
ed by the pressure Of other engagements from
pr repairing answers in such form as he desired.
''Mr. Barney took strong ground in favor Of. tho
new School Law-and expressed the ardent hope
that it would not be amended until it had been
fairly tested. The tax which was authorized he
held to be one which the people should pay with
all cheerlulness, if it were necessary to sustain
the truly American system OF education which the
law now in force in Ohio, intended to estab-
lish.
awe were much pleased with the lecture and
lecturer. Mr.. Barney is gentleman of enlarged
experience, as a teacher; is highly educated,
talented and graceful speaker, indeed his bearing
and manner impress his auditors strongly in favor
of the man and his mission. He will do honor to
to the position which he occupies as State Super
intendent.' L--

488, 1923; foreign, 1871. A fact which does not
speak so well for us of the keystone State, as

600 persons lesa than we oave, over twenty years

The War.

There is no doubt as to the fact that war is al
ready commenced in Europe. The Turks have
crossed the Danube, and gained at least one i'm
portant victory. There is no probability of peace
being brought about by diplomacy, as long as the
stigma of defeat is attached to the Russian stand
ard. The Turks have taken great encouragement
from the success of their first batte-new strength
is impaired, activity increased, and new confidence
instilled.
England and France are morally pledged to
maintain the integrity of the Turkish Empire
his soldiers are promptly paid, and the unbounded
wealth of the church voluntarily bestowed for the
purpose of carrying on the war.

Dedication Of the Town Hall.

The PEAK Family, Swiss Bell Ringers and Vo-
calists, will be in our village on Thursday and
Friday evenings next. They come well recon-
mended by the press, and will doubtless give sat

ance with the bells, is novel and interesting, dis
playing an expertness in the performers that is
truly astonishing. They perform at the Town
Hall.
The Cleveland Plain Dealdr thus speaks of
their first entertainment in that city:
"Their Concert was attended last evening by
fair sized audience, who seemed to bd we'll pleas

entertainment. The song of "Did you sign the
