| PRAYER IN PUBLIC SCHooLs.-The following
| letter from the State Superintendent of Public
Instruction in Wisconsin is in reply to the ques-
ton: els it a part of the duty of the Teacher
in conducting the Public Schools to open it
mornings with prayers ?"
OFFICE STATE SUPERINTENDENT Fl
Madison, Wis Sept 10, 1854. I
DEAR SIR Yours of yesterday has just come
to hand, and hasten to reply that it is no part
of the duties of the teacher in our public schools
to open or close his school with prayer, nor
can he require any scholar under his charge to
listen to that exercise. Neither can q school
committee or town superintendent, whose duty
it may be to examine applicants for teaching
and grant certificates Of qualifications, require
that such applicants shall conduct such exercise
in schools or acknowledge belief in any religious
tenets before they will grant certificate. Such
a proceeding would be in direct violation of the
Constitution and laws of the State, and would
be an assumption on the part of school officers
to have that done in schools which the law says
shall not be done; else, why should such test
be imposed?
Our present free school SYSTEM endowed by
public funds and adopted by the people, was
founded for the purpose of securing to all classes
of persons, without reference to their religious,
political, other opinions, a common English
educaton-distinctly regulating the idea of
aiding, even in the most indirect manner, the
propagation Of the doctrines of any religious
sect.
This is wide departure from the school sys-
TENS in other countries; but is regarded by the
great body of our people as the wisest principle
Of our government. In our schools no sectarian
instruction can be allowed; and, as there is no
medium between sectarian instruction and the
broadcast liberation, in our schools, the scholars
should not be compelled to listen to an exercise
which their consciences tell them is repugnant
to the doctrines of their church; for prayer, as
well as other religious exercise, may be and
often is sectarian Neither should the time of
the teacher be thus occupied which should be
devoted to giving instruction in the brances re-
quired to be taught in our public schools. It
may be matter of regret to some that our laws
have banished from the school room religious
instruction; but in my view, such instruction
is properly consigned to the family circle, the
Sabbath School of the church leaving the school
house neutral ground, where instruction should
be limited to that ordinarily included under the
head OF intellectual culture, and to intoxicating
those principles Of morality and virtue, in which
all sects, and good men belonging to no sect, can
equally agree. Yours, respectfully,
Il. A. WRIGHT, State Superintendent.

foolish fellows, having a lot Of knotty saw logs,
butts Of trees, &C., which they could not chop,
saw, nor split apart, got them together in pile,

and blew up the whole lot with an explosion
which caused the splinters to fly in all directions.
One chunk went through wagon on Main
street, killing two men who were standing on
the sidewalk, one Of whom was much bruised
and his clothes nearly torn off him. The same
splinter also knocked hole in the door of a
house, and another fragment demolished win

gsgp The New York correspondent of the
Charleston Courier tells the following curious
story:
Some wicked wags at the Clarendon Hotel
have been playing scurvy trick upon Sir Will
liam Boyd. The English Baronet was stopping
at the Clarendon, and was so unfortunate as to
have had his watch and some other valuables
stolen from his room. Forgetting he was not in
England, Sir William insisted upon the pro-
prietor Of the Clarendon's remunerating him
for his losses. This was bluntly refused
Thereupon, a little dispute ensued. Sir William
said some foolish things, and went to the Metro
politan. Yesterday morning an advertisement
appeared in the personal column Of the Herald,
stating that 'sWm. Boyd, D. F., had left the
Clarendon The titles thus given the Baronet
are supposed to belong to one of ''Doesticks"
friends, and an intimate acquaintance of Bull
Dogge." Sir VIM. replies this morning in a
card Of some pretention, speaking Of himself as
an English gentleman of Distinction

OBSERVATIONS OF THE MooN.-Professo Phil
lips, Of England, in the course Of some remarks
lately on the mountains Of the moon, observed
that daily experience showed that the more
their telescope power was increased, the less
circular appeared the lunar craters, and the
less smooth the surface Of the moon All was
sharp and ;rritated-a perfect representation Of
its past history. On the much mooted question
as to there being traces Of water on the surface
Of the moon as now presented to us, the profess
sor said that one time he believed there was no
trace Of water to be seen; but he confessed that
more recent observations, particularly those
made with Lord Roses telescope, shook his
belief in that opinion.
