In our own county, we can observe great
changes in the short space of seven years.
In this Borough, College of superior
character, with an endowment not surpassed
in the State, has gone into operation, and
contains $50 pupils on an average Three
Female Schools have also arisen, with 100
or more attendants And the former
Academy, and four Public Schools, contain
probably 500 more pupils. There are
therefore enrolled in the seminaries of
learning of a town of $500 inhabitants,
$50 students-a proportion fer German
town of modern date away upon the Sus-
quehanna, not often excelled by any "down
east" village Of vastly superior years and
literary tendency.-Nine miles up the
Valley, we find at MIFFLINBURa an Acad-
emy of forty years standing, still sending
out Teachers for neighboring towns and
counties.-A Seminary of high order, sus-
tanned by the Evangelical Association Of
Methodists, is in process of construction at
New berlin, which will gather students
from distant sections of the State, and raise
the standard of education in its vicinity.
And FREEBURG Academy, on the south
side of the county, established within two
or three years, has corps Of four or FIVE
instructors, and has infused into the minds
of the youth Of that neighborhoOd strong
and laudable ambition to excel in mental
cultivation as we'll as in farming and other
mattersexclusively monetary. y.....1ndeed,; the
German characteristic, applied to education,
will make it thorough, an all-embracing,
and perfect, permanent work.
There are mprovements-advanccs-
indications of more elevated standard of
mental training-which speak well for our
county. There are also Deficiencies which
might be mentioned, and the antagonism
of two mother-tongues is formidable
barrier to the progress We might desire,
But there as progress-and when FRANKS
children take the tour of the Susquehanna,
they will find not only superior farms and
barns, but also as industrious, honest, sub
stantially educated, and newspaper-reading
people as those about Lowell or WaterviliO'
Thnso -.o our impressions-let twenty

RJTTH HALL: Domestic Tale of the pres
enttime. ByF.Nxr FEpS. Mason Brothers,
% Park Row, New York. Price, Sl.25.
This l2mo vol of 400 pages, is Fanny
Ferns latest and best production. Having
read it through aloud the other evening to
our better half, at single sitting-exten-
ding, it is true, into the 'wee small hours
we have been able to form some idea of
what lies between its lids. 1t purports to
be veritable history Of her own life-ex-
perience and as she is understood to be a
widowed sister of a certain New York ed
itor, equally noted for his graphic pen and
chronic dandyism, who, with other summer
friends, cruelty gave her the cold shoulder
in her days of adversely; and she had also
her own row to hoe with newspaper pub
fishers, as well as with the rest of mankind,
the volume is eminently piquant and racy.
1t possesses besides many sterling excel
lencies, and must prove immensely popu-
lar, particularly, with the ladies' while the
touching record Of her struggles to provide
for her two little children, will come home
to the hearts of moti,ers nth great iorce.
Ev.ry body who wants to laugh and to
cry, and be benefited into the bargain,
will of course buy the book. H..

For the Levisburg Chronic
A Man Indeed!

Not long since, General SAMUEL HoUs-
TON, the Hero of San Jacinto, now U. S.
Senator from Texas, was in one Of our At
lantic cities, and having an evening in
which he was not especially engaged, be
was invited to attend popular place Of
amusement. He politely declined. Upon
being pressed for the cause of his refusing
to accompany his friend, he replied, in
substance, as follows:
"You are doubtless aware, that a por-
ton of my life was clouded by an intense
devotion TO most of the customs and fash
ions of society, and that, in consequence, l
became degraded, and Stunned by the
wise and the good. My humiliation was
the greater, because | had formerly stood
well in the esteem of my fellow citizens.
My downfall was owing to the evil ways
of society, but still it was my own fault
In this condition, she who is now my
wife, awoke desire for reform she in
spired me, she guided me; she aided me,
and to her kind and unwearied efforts is
due my redemption from tie tbraldom Of
evil habits, and my restoration to the re-
spect of mankind. Yes, sir, humanity
speaking, owe to her all am, or that l
hope to be, in time and in eternity. She
is praying woman-a member ofa Chris
tian church. Some time ago l resolved,
by the help of God NEVER TO FERFoRM
AN ACT HAVING ANY MORAL BEARING
WHICH WOULD NOT BE APPROVED BY MY
GOOD WIFE. / hnOp she disoPprores this
species of amusement, and would wish me
not to attend, because its tendencies are
evil, and it is unnecessary; and agree
with her in opinion. You will therefore,
trust, allow that have reasons, which
should have weight with any true man,
for not accepting your invitation"
-Ncbly spoken, UNCLE SAM! but it
required more true heroism than to face
the balls at San ,Jacinto. There is CHI
valry in your honor of woman, no knight
ever felt. There is a three-fold cord of
love in your resolution, which if adopted
by all husbands would save thousands
from destruction-dry up myriads of tears
from the pallid cheeks Of lovely wives and
childrcn-and Danish from our
and the yawning bells which open to Sc,
luce the reckless or thoughtless dcvotees
3f sin and senseless pleasure.
Would to God every man would adopt
md carry out similar standard Of action!
hat every Christian at home, were Chris
ian abroad that all Temperance men at
nome, were Temperance men elsewhere
hat all opponents Of theaters, of gam
bling saloons, and dens Of pollution, would
larry out, at all times, aud among all peo-
pie, the principles they advocate at home.
and that all would remember, Thou God
seest me- and that the Eye Of our hnal
Judge is more to be feared than those OIL

p. .S.-The Fair did not "come off"

THE MoRMoNs.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Courier and Enquirer
says that the case of Brigham Young is
giving the administration much more trou.
bic than that of Mr.. Soule. The Cover
nor Of Utah is not only patriarch Of ma
ny wives, but be has squatted upon the
territory of the United States, and declares
his right to introduce and to manage such
"domestic institutions" as be thinks prop
er for his own advantage. The peculiar
institution Of polygamy is his favorite van
ity, the sin which most easily besets him.
He asserts his rights as free born Amer
lean citizen under the Douglas bill, and
scOrns to own the jurisdiction of the Uni
ted States any further than its authority
may accord with the free indulgence of bis
appetites and passions. He declines to
abdicate merely because the commission
which he held under the President Of the
United States has expired.
Another peculiar institution of Utah is
the amalgamation of Church and State, of
which Brigham Young is supreme head.
in short, the power and influence of Young
is as unlimited as the number of bis wives
or of his progeny. But the man is him
self an institution, existing by the unani-
nous approval Of the people.-N Y Obs.
rive see it stated that the President has
appointed Col. STEProE, who commands
some Artillery in the region of Utah, to
be GOVERNOR of that interesting tribe.
We hope he has enough of the Artillery
to make him bona fidc ruler over them,
but shall expect some sharp conflicts be-
tween the U. S. Governor and "squatter
sovereignty" relative to the peculiar in,
stitutions' of the squatter sovereigns.]
ANOTHER "ApALoNIcHoN. In one of
her suburban Letters" to the Worcester
Palladium, STELLA says:
"Thcre is in the State of Vermont, a
lady noted for her musical abilities, which
are often displayed for the qualification of
the people of Windsor aud the surrounding
place. This lady has two distinct throats;
and, it is supposed, two pair of lungs.
She is broad chested, but quite slender
round the waist, and says she can sing
three hours with more ease than abe can
talk with friend for one hour, and have
that friend do two-thirds of the talking
At the age Of twelve years she could sing
two distinct parts at once, but has since,
from want of cultivation or some other
cause lost that power. These facts may
be relied upon as strictly true and they
furnish remarkable field of investigation |
for the ph, ,siologist, and of wonderment
for those who are interested in the freaks
of nature, Of which this may be considered
one Of the most curious"

ra-In another column We copy letter,
sent by some wandering Yankee to an
Eastern paper, which came accidentally
under our notice. The prayer Of BURNS,
90 wad some power the gftie gle US,
To see ourselves ithers see us,
contains good sense, for an impartial criti-
cism, not designed for the eye of the sub
ject Of it, has generally more merit than
the common place compliments so often
bestowed upon persons or places by those
who are afraid to condemn, and who desire
to please, without regard to truth or justice.
How much FRANK errs in his opinions,
our readers will judge for themselves.
One thing is evident-his opportunities
did not allow him to learn of all the mea-
sures in operation for the improvement of
at least :he Central portion Of this State.
We doubt whether any one of the "Old
Thirteen" is making more laudable efforts
in developing her resources and opening
avenues for trade and travel, than the
"Keystone." The Tariff of '46 was no.
where so unjust as in our State; and the
present collapse in the money market has
injured many of her enterprises at most
critical period: still, the spirit of ,mproye-
ment is Strengthening apace; our advanta-
ges are becoming more appreciated, at
home and abroad and Pennsylvania is
destined, ere long, to be the first State in
the Union, in physical resources and money
power.
There is also a most healthy advance
ment in learning, in this State. That she
is still much behind some Of her sisters,
is not strange when We reflect that her
population, when she became /" of age"
was of two different languages-an evil
which existed in no other State to an ex-
tent worthy of notice. The difficulty of
making one people, using one tongue, of
English and Germans-so equally divided
as they were-was greater than can be i'm
agined by persons at a distance. But since
Common Schools have been by law estab-
llshed throughout the State, her compara-
tire progress We believe has not been ex-
|celled. The amalgamation of the races By
the generation which comes upon the stage
under the influence of universal common
School education, will be most beneficial
Pennsylvania will be noted for good school
houses and school teachers, as we'll as for
giant barns and fat horses and happy
BONES. Portions Of our State already,
here the people are homogeneous, arc not
|ehind any State in intelligence and enter
rlse, Tin proportion to age)
That We have provincialisms, is true;
New England is not destitute of those ne.
|euliarities Of language and utterancc but
when an impartial umpire decides that the
educated people of New England speak
|Purer English than those of Pennsylvania, |
there will be ample time for FRANK to |
draw unfavcrable comparisons. !
