Something About Schools.

ny We invite the attention of our cit
liens to the following article, which We
COPY from a late number Of the american
Agricuhmia, and would suggest that the
inquiry be made whether it suits any OF
them. Our winter schools are now open,
and it is the privilege and duty Of every one
to visit them. 1t will show your children
that you take some INTEREST," in their school
and make both teacher and scholar more
careful, in order that they may be able
to bear inspection.
We know a man who last summer
hired four colts pastured on a farm some
five miles distant. At least once in two
weeks he drove over to see how his juveu-
lie horses fared He made rinute in
quiries Of the keeper as to their health,
their feed, and the like; he examined the
condition of the pasture; and when a dry
season came on, made special arrange
ments to have daily allowance of meal,
and was very careful to know that it was
regularly supplied.
This man had four children attending
district school kept 10 small building
erected at the cross roads. Around this
building on three sides is a space of land
six feet wide, the fourth side is on line
with the street. There is not an out
house or shade tree in sight of the build
ing. OF the interior of the schoolhouse,
we need not speak. The single room is
like to many others, with all its apparatus
arranged upon the most approved plan
for producing curved spine, compressed
lungs, i'll health, and premature death.
We wish to state one fact only. The
owner of those colts, the father of those
children, has never been into that school
house to inquire after the health, com
fort, or mental food daily dealt out to his
offspring. The latter part of the summer
We chanced to ask "who teaches your
school" and bis reply was, he did not
know, he believed her name was Parker,
0aa he h@t no time to Gook aficr Scjt00i mat

California Edibles.

The A3ta Caliwnia says there is no
country in the world which is better sup
piled with game and fish than California
Among the varieties of game which may
always be procured in the San Francisco
market, are bear, yenison, hares, rabbits,
squeirrels, quails, doves, pigeons, snipe,
curlew, plover, moor fowl, and geese and
ducks in every variety and in the greatest
profusion. The game laws in California,
for new country, are very strictly COM
piled with; it will therefore be, in all prob
ability, many years before the supply di-
minishes.
The variety of fish is very large, and
their quality unsurpassed The salmon
of the Sacramento sometimes range as
high as sixty or seventy pounds in weight.
Sturgeon and skate are abundant in eve
ry bay and creek, and tautog are caught
upon the shores of the southern part of
the State, Goldfish, rock fish, mackerel,
founders, smelts, sardines, soles, herrings
together with craw- fish, Holsters, shrimps,
crabs, &C., in large quantities, may at any
time be procured in the immediate vicin-
ity of San Francisco. Oysters are al
most the only fish which do not flourish
well, and are always to be found in the
markets. Those which are brought in
are small, and their flavor is inferior.
Poultry is very expensive in San Fran
cisco, but from present appearance it will
be abundant in the course of year or
two. Domestic meats are generally Of
inferior quality to those of the Atlantic
states. Vegetables and fruit of nearly
every imaginable variety suited to the
climate grow luxuriantly in California,
and may always be found in the market.
The fresh butter of California is said to
be of quality which would reflect credit
upon the skill of Vermont dairy maid
and the character of the cheese is such
that large quantities of it find a ready
sale at high prices. Eggs are abundant
They are mostly those of sea birds, and
brought from the Farralones Islands,
They are large, of grcenish color thickly
covered with dark spots, and are consid-
dered very nutritious.

More of them.

JouN LUTZ and Henry GREGORY
were arrested in Easton Oh Tuesday last
on suspicion of being burglars. They
had been staying at Mr.. Keller's Hotel
and upon search made, pistols, bowie
knives, letters, and various matters con-
frming the suspicion were found upon
them. They were taken to Reading on
Thursday by the police Of that Borough
on similar charge.
It appears that these worthless are part
Of band quartered at New York. We
were informed that one of the letters di-
rected these fellows to journey to Strouds-
burg, where the chief Of this band would
meet them. As these two gents have
been taken to Reading, we will not, in
all probability, be favored with Acir
presence very soon.

Rich Scene at a Political Meeting.


Gen. Cass delivered political speech
to about I5,0GO persons at Chicago, Oh
the Goth ult. lie was listened to with
great attention, but after he sat down
some one called for three groans for
Judge Douglas, who was also on the
stand. The call was hisscd down, but
cheers were given for Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and Indiana. The Chicago Tribune
says
At this juncture considerable confu-
sion prevailed, when some one called for
a speech from Frederick Douglas, (black
man) who was in the room. 1t was caught
up and responded to, apparently, by FIVE
hundred persons. The effect was as ex-
citing as if bomb-shell had been thrown
into the room. Colonel Snowhook rush
ed upon the stand and brandished his fist
at the crowd, while Colonel Hamilton de-
clared, in the most emphatic manner, that
if Douglas came to the stand he would
have him sent to the watch-house. Such
an uproar that followed we have seldom
witnessed. 1t seemed as if pandemonium
had broken loose, and the threats of the
Nebraskaitcs had only made the matter
worse. Frederick Douglas had the good
sense to retire, during the confusion, but
the crowd did not know it. The meeting
was dispersed by some one turning the
rasn

Imrortant Convictions at Montreal.

We learn by telegraph from Montreal
of the conviction of two most notorious
criminals, Hurd and Evertree, arrested
in the eastern townships, for counterfeit
ing. The former is celebrated inmate
of Sing Sing prison, who, on his last exit
from that place, was offered $4,000 year
by one of the leading firms of engravers
in New York, but refused honest employ
mcnt, so certain was he of making more
money By counterfeiting. The effect of
this conviction has been that two other
scoundrels of the same gang awaiting trial
for forgery, have pleaded guilty. Their
names are Gleason and Wellingtoh; :hc

An Exciting Bear Hunt.

The good citizens of Patterns Mills, in
this county, had rather an exciting time
in capturing a bear, who, on the 18th
inst, ruthlessly invaded their quiet neigh
borhood. The announcement of the un-
summoned guest was signal for gen
eral muster, and it was not long before
the troop appeared, some armed with guns,
some with clubs, and others with pitch
forks. The stranger not liking his re-
ception, made for the forest, hotly pur-
sued by all hands. He received four balls,
to which be paid little attention. A grey
hound next threw down the glove to his
bearship, when rough-and-tumble i'm
mediately ensued, from which the hound
escaped with second drubbing. A
large bulldog next claimed the honor of
an encounter with bruiD, but soon left
the field minus portion of his underjaw.
At this stage of the aifray, Mr. Cornelius
Bentley stepped into the ring with a pitch
fork, the prongs of which he unceremo-
niously thrust into the side of the hi:her.
to successful combatant, but in an instant
the fork was shiyered to pieces, and Dir.
Bentley in turn became the pursued, and
barely escaped with his life by the timely
arrival of the rest of the party, who i'm
surrounded the infuriated ami
NAL, and after desperate fight, in which
all kinds of weapons were employed, his
bearship was finally captured and borne

Great Excitement at Woroester--Arrest OF
Kidnaprer.

Great Excitement at Worcester Arrest OF
Kidnaprer.
WORCESTER, Oct 30.-Asa @. But
man, the notorious kidnarper of Thomas
Sims and Anthony Burns, was discovered
'tbookedn at the American House, in this
city yesterday, and was Immediately
posted throughout the city. In the even
ing a vigilance Committee of citizens sur
rounded the Hotel aud watched Butman' S
movements.
He Hourishcd a pistol at them and
threatened to use it, whereupon warrant
was issued, and he was Immediately ar
rested, and this forenoon brought before
the Police Court charged with carrying
concealed weapons. The case was post
poned two weeks, and he was required to
give bonds for his appearance.
A large and excited crowd gathered
around the court room, and it becoming
evident that Butman's life was in danger
Mr.. George T. Hoar, Free Soiler, and
son of the venerable Samuel Hoar, who
was driven out of South Carolina, ap.
pealed to the crowd to let the kidnappel
go in safety out of the city. The crowt
gave way, and Butman, accompanied By ;
strong guard, went to the depot, followed
by the populace, where the colored mel
fell upon him, and would und oubtedly
have taken his lie but for the interfer
ence of Martin Stowell, James A. How
land, Mr.. Hoar, Rev. w. Higginson, ant
Stephen S. Foster, all Abolitionists.
Butman was hustled into a carriage, ac
companied by Mr. Eigginson, and thu
escaped with his life. Mr.. Higginson wa'
considerably cut by the missiles thrown
at the carriage, and Butman was peltet
with rotten eggs and stones, and was kick
ed and beaten almost to death He prom
ised never to visit Worcester again, anG
probably will net. He is now out Of harm
way.
