WIG STATE TICKET
To Teachers and others,

As our School system has recently IN
dlrsonc some important revislons and al
torations, we beg leave to direct the at
tention of Teachers and others Interested,
70 Towers Series of School Books.
TLis series consists Of six books, with
lessons arranged in regular graduation
Each book seems to be well adapted t.
the class of scholars for which it is de
signed The lessons are neither too diff
hcult nor too easy The first four books
contain exercises designed to give thor
ough practice upon The elementary sounds,
and their combinations. Pupils who are
faithfully drilled in these, can not fail iu
one essential requisite of good reading
distinct utterance. These books, in this
respect. are certainly superior to any
with Which VIC are acquainted. The last
tvo give the principles Of clocution, and
IN manner well adapted to school wants.
The selections for reading are made with
much taste. As a whole, we consider
this ain excellent series Of reading books.
They have evidently been prepared with
great care, and by those who were per
f,,tly competent fog the work they under
took.

BILE track and would have been in opera
ton this fall, had the Warren Railroad
been ready to give an outlet. The injustice
done that company by the Morris 4 Essex
Railroad Company, is very great; near
three million of dollars the cost of the
Southern division of that road is useless,
until the Warren Railroad is completed
the Morris and Essex Railroad Compa-
ny have not only done great moral wrong
to the companies, but great public
wrong to the community, by delaying a
great work which is to be one of the main
trunk lines from the East and West,
North and South, not only for passengers
and merchandise, but, for the Anthracite
Coal Of the Lackawanna Valley, which is
now so much wanted, it is hoped that
hereafter no injunction master vii! be
found to grant an injunction for so slight
a cause without full notice to the adverse
party, Notwithstanding the application
may be asked for by some great corpor-
alton whose acts when Investigated may
entitle them to very little consideration.

Sickness IL NeW-Orlears.

\ correspondent writing to the Tri
bune from New Orleans, under date of
July 81, says
Our city IS very sickly. The Grst two
weeks in June there were over 50 deaths
week of Asiatic cholera, and the NOR.
tality was 80 per cent. larger tLan same
time last year.
Last week there were over 500 deaths
equal $500 a week in n York city. O.
Yer 100 died Of sunstroke. The Yellow
fever has made its appearance, and the
reports from the cemeteries show two
deaths of yellow and one of black vomit
There were also large number of deaths
from other fevers, as also Of bowcll com
plants and cholera. Of course our pa
pcrs will keep dark about everything.

1t Is curious circumstance, but we be
llcVe that no notice was taken during the
debates of Congress Oh the Douglas bill.
Of the fact that not only are both the
new territories north Of the compromise
line, but that another territory remains
south Of Kanas Which is yet to be organ,
izcd.
Thus if the slave power fail to secure
Nebraska, Kansas may be more easily
won, and if both these chances are lost
there is still another territory farther
south about which there may be less un-
certainty.
A more ingenious plan founded on the
doctrine of chances could not have been
devised. BY opening two territories at
the same time to settlers, one at least,
there was reason to believe, might be Sc
cured. This would be clear gain to the
slave power for it is north of the compro
mise line, and by making Kansas slave
territory the unorganized territory lying
between Kansas and Texas would GER
tainly be slave territory also. If both
shall become free territory, then by colo
uizing the remaining district from the
south, the slave power will have lost moth
ing and the compromise line will have
been removed uorthward half a degree
from 80 deg. 30 min. to 81 degrees.

The Hard Shell Democrats Of New York.
The "Hard-Shcll" Democratic Conven-
ton Of New York, which met at Syracuse
OH Wednesday, concluded its business
ana adjourned the same night. The
Hon. GREENE c. BRoysoN was nominated
for Governor by acclamation, notwith-
standing there was in possession of the
Convention q letter from that gentleman
declining the honor conferred upon him
\ number OF resolutions were adopted,
Of which the following is a summary;
They re-afirm adherence to the Plat
forms of the Baltimore Conventions o.
iS4S and 1852; endorse the doctrine Of
non-intervcntion by Congress as to the
right Of the people Of the Territories to
frame their own laws; approve the recent
act Of Congress in regard to Nebraska
and Kansas, so far as it establishes the
principle that the people Of the Terrific
rios may lcgialate for their own welfare;
strongly dcnounce the Administration for
interference in the local politics of New
York, its PalpabIc and alarming invasion
Of State rights, and its u9justidable and
undisguised use Of its patronage to con-
troll the State elections The resolutions
also denounce any coalition with other
parties, aud pledge their authors to rely
upon the merits Of their own party fyr
success.

Awful neutrality-suspicious. of Fifty Nor
wegianS on a Propeller.

On the last up trip Of the propeller
Oriental, large number Of Norwegian
cmigrants were on board, among whom
the ship fever suddenly broke out, and,
before the trip was end,d, carried off a
bout fifty of them. They had endured a
long and tedious journey from their faith
crland and the confnementof of closely y pack
ed cars overland, and were fully prepared
for the incursions Of a disease which is
never satisfied with few. Every atten-
uon was paid to their wants by Captain
oqulres and bis crew, but for which many
more must have perishcd. The deaths
occurred principally on Lake Michigan
and Lake Huron.-Bu6alo Elprcss.
