The Teacher in the School Room

1t is well for the teacher to remem-
Der that each of his pupils has, ordinari-
IL. an equal claim upon his time and at
tention. Generally speaking, probably,
there are not more than three hundred
minutes, in the school day, during which
the teacher can give instruction. In a
school of forty scholars, then, he can give
only seven and half minutes to each.-
From this, and other considerations, the
propriety of the following suggestions
will be easily seen: /. Classify, as far
as possible, all the pupils in the school,
and in every study. Not only in read
ing and spelling, but in arithmetic, geog-
raphy and grammar. Ten or fifteen pu-
pills may be profted By the same expla-
nation, or by an illustration on the black
board or otherwise, as well as one.
2. Have as few classes as possible, that
as much time as is practicable, may be
given to the recitation or exercise of each
class. In reading: spelling and some
other branches, it is desirable that al!
the members of class be furnished with
books of the same kind; bat this is not
Indispensable in all the studies. In
geography or arithmetic, for example, if
yon have several scholars of nearly the
same grade of advancement, and entire
uniformity of books can not be secured,
it is better still, to have them in one class,
to have the subject assigned to them, and
let them study from their different books
and recite and be instructed together,
rather than form two or three small
classes. This course may often be pur-
sued with good results, especially with
scholars somewhat advanced, as any in
telligent teacher can easily reconcile the
apparent discrepancies between the works
of different authors on the same subject;
and, in geography if the teacher uses the
outline maps, or in arithmetic, IT ne
makes free use of the black kboard, he
will find that different textbooks on the
same subject arc often an advantage,
rather than otherwise.
3. As far as possible, give your entire
attention to the class while reading or
recitng. No pupil should be allowed,
under any ordinary circumstances, to In
terrupt the teacher, while no is hearing
recitation or instructing class, by asking
permission to speak or leave his scat; and
any disturbance, made at such time,
should be regarded as much more seri-
Gus offence than if it occurred when the

Remains of Sir John Frankhn's Party.

The Montreal papers contain some addl'
,ional details in relation TO the discovery oi
the remains Of portion Of Sir John Frank
Inns party. Ii appeHls that in the spring oi
1850. a party OF about forty whites were seen
travelling southwark over the ice, and drag
ging their boats, by party of ESqnimauN In
diane, who we're killing seals on the north
shore Of King Williams Land. None of The
party could speak the native language intel
ligibly, but BY. signs the natives were made TO
understand that the ships to which the party
belorucd had hren crushed in the ice, and
they were then going where they expected to
be abb, 10 iinl deer FroD their appearance
the men were II! aud all Of them, except one
chief officer, lncked thin. Itls supposed they
were getting short of provisions, inasmuch
as they purchased seal from the natives.
Al later date the same season, and pre-
vious to the disruption of the ice, the bodies
of about thirty white persons were discovered
on the continent, and FIVE more on the island,
near about long days journey, say thirty
FIVE or forty miles, northwest ofa large stream,
which can be no other than Backs Great Fish
River. Some Of the bodies were found bu-
ried, some in tents, others under boat turned
bottom upwards, while several lay scattered
about in different directions. OF those fount
! on the Island, one is supposed 10 have beer
an officer, as he had a telescope strapped over
his shoulder, and double barrelled gun un'
derneath him.
From the mu;ilatei state of many of Tho
c0rpses and the contents Of the kettles found
it is evident The party had been driven 10 can

abundant stock of ammunition, and there mus

Destructive Fire at Toledo.

TOLEDO, Nov. Last evening fire
broke out il the Warehouse occupied by
Brown & King, at the foot of Cherry St,
which was entirely destroyed, together
with the adjoining Warehouse Of Cobb &
Co. Both buildings were filed with goods
and merchandise of all kinds, Of which
a portion was saved. 1000 bbls. of Flour
yere burned. But little of the merchan-
die was insured, and the insurance on
the buildings will not cover the losses
The steamers Golden Gate and Arrow
lying at the wharf had very narrow
escape, both being much scorched. The
total loss is about $4,000.

The Late Railroad Tragedy.

CURED on the Great Western Railroad on
Thursday night are full of horrors. From
the latest accounts received .tyty-eaGM OF
the hapless passengers on that haplesS
train were dead, and scores of others who
were still living were mangled and MAIN
ed. Gross and inexcusab!e carelessness
caused this wholesale slaughter. More
lives were lost by it and more people in-
jured than by any other railroad accident
that has ever occurred. In magnitude ii
stands alone The Norwalk and Chicago
tragedies are the only ones in our entire
record Of disasters oy railroad that will
compare with this in extent. The scene
! must have been terrible, an indescriba-
ble one. We can scarcely conceive Of a
sight more dreadful than that of the
mangled, crushed, bleeding, shapeless re-
mains OF scores Of human beings, picked
out from the ruins Of such wreck as
was made at Chatham. In the list pub

who was thrown into such violent tetanus
or rigidity of the muscles by a severe
mental shock that she was unable tc

P,su,t of the Election in New York

New YORK, Nov. 7.-l2 ?. M.-Tbe
returns of the election for Governor in
the city are, up to this late hour, still
very imperfect. Enough is known how
ever to show that Seymour, Soft Shell
Democrat. will leave the city by a major
;tv Of probably 100000 over Clark, Wbig.
Uilman, Know Nothing, polls very
heavy vote, and is thus far ahead of
CLARK. For Mayor of the city, the con-
test is between Wood, Democrat, and
Barker, Know Nothing, and the former
is probably elected.
In Albany County, Seymour for Coy,
has 1900 majority over Clark. and in
Buffalo Ulmann has 1000 over Seymour
while the vote for Clark is very small
The indication from the interior counties
are. that Ulmann'S vote will be large il
the State, and that Seymour is probably
e-elected though of this there is as yet
no certainty.
Thus far the Know Nothings have de
fcated several Wing Assemblymen.
