animation, not only Of ripe scholarship, but
of possessing all those qualities Of the mind
and heart which so admirably adorn the
successful instructor. We hope this school
will be well supported. There is nothing
we admire more than good schools; and we
hope to see the day when teaching win be
regarded as profession, and some Of our
noblest and best minds enter upon it,
and practice it for life, with the same zeal
and pride which now characterizes members
Of the other 'learned professions"

BROKE JArL.--George Cox and Thomas
Ward, committed to await their trial at the
next term of Court--the former for passing
counterfeit money, and the latter for steal
ing wheat--escaped from the Pomeroy jail
last Saturday night 1t is supposed they
were furnished with the necessary tools by
the wife of the former, who visited the Jail
on Saturday. The inner door was unfas-
tened by means Of a strong wire, and the
bolt of the outer door was taken off, by
means Of wrench or screw-driver.
Another prisoner was confined at the
same time, who refused to leave. After the
others had fled, he walked out into the YARD
and aroused the jailor, telling him what haG
happened, and then returned to his cell
He is charged with pig-Gtealing.

fsFHa ygAld PAaq4 D.aD?-The return


1sEzswHie PAAfs DsAn?- -Ths returns
Of the recent elections do not indicate such
sn abgurdity. In New York, the Legisla-
tdres elected this month is pretty much all
Wing. An the State officers elected, except
two. Judges, are Wings. what's still more
strange. on the popular vote the Wings
ran nearly as high as both the other parties
combined. There are zoe, 900 Wing voters
alive yet in New York. The Hards beat
.Ahe Sots throughout the State, notwith.
standing the efforts Of the Administration
in behalf Of the latter.
In MASSACHUSETTS,, the Wing party is once
more in the ascendant The Legislature is
largely Wing. the Freesoil- Democratic Co.
alition.New-C Constitution party is knocked
into cooked hat. The Wing candidate
for Governor has large plurality, and lack.
but little of having majority over all Other
parties combined.
In Maryland, the Democratic majority
has been whitfield down nearly one-half, and
the Wings have majority in the Legisla
tare. Is the Wing party dead?

OUR RAILRoAD.----We understand that

order that our readers may act advisedly in
the matter, we copy the following article
from the jackson Standard, and ask for it q
careful and attentive perusal. Much more
might be said, without violation Of either
truth or justice; but if this is not sufficient
it is useless to add more:

SCHOOL ExAMINATIoN.-Last Friday, we
attended the examination of the Rev. Mr..
Wilkinson's pupils, at his school room, over
Mr.. Branch's store. We were highly graf
fled with the evidences of progress mani
tested BY the pupils; still more, with the
patience, kindness, and love exhibited by
the instructors, by which they have so de-
servedly won the respect and esteem of all
their pupils. There appeared to be very
strongly marked difference in the progress
Of scholars in some of the more advanced
classes. While some learn rapidly, and re-
tam what the learn, others appear ex-
tremely duh or forgetful 1t was pleasing
to see how tenderly this latter class was
dealt with. The heathenish doctrine Of
compulsion, we arc glad to see, is fast be-
coming obsoletein our school rooms. In our
childhood, it was the custom to substitute
Dhalsrs for instructors. 0urexperience has
taught US, however, that word of encour.
sgement. kindly given, is more effectual in
developing a dull, sluggish mind than forty
rods. A favorite author observes that the
real object of education is ''to give children
resources that will endure as long as life
endures---hsbite that time viii ameEorate,
not destroy occupations that will render
sickness tOlerable, solitude pleasant, age
venerable, life more dignifed and useful,
and death less terrible" We were pleased to
see evidences last Friday. that this object i,
kept steAdily in view by the Instructors Of
this school. It may not be strictly proper
in sOoeaelor editor TO be publicly compli-
menting young lady teachers; but justice
and csndor compel us TO say. that Mr.. VIII
kinson has been extremely fortunate in the

it impossible to get into the room, half an
