Tender-hearted Women.-Within the past
month or two, there have been repeated cases of
wile-whppiug in this city, in nearly all Of which
the husbands have been arrested, and either COM
mited TO prison TO await trial, or released on bail
for their appearance at court, should the legal au-
thories require them 10 be arragned for trial be-
fore the properly constituted tribunal
So far, however. is is said, the grand jury have
made no preSeniments. From our personal ac-
quaintance with those gentlemen, we are satisfied
hat they do not lack gallantry, nor are they in
disposed TO protect women from the brutal as
saults Of those who, in duty bound, should be
their defenders, Instead of their abusers; but
how can they resist the eloquent appeals of the
women themselves TO spare the guilty from the
consequences of violated law? women who, TO
paate The wrong Of their husbands, actually ad-
nit provocaton on their--he female s-own part.
They cannot endure the idea Of having them
selves and children publicly digraced, by trial
of the offenders before court of Justice. This
has heretofore been the case and we presume it
is now, not one of the recent wfe-whippers
has been indicted.
No matter how ililerate and humble the
woman, her kind nature prompts her 10 forgive.
Abused, assaulted by her husband, she intercedes
in his behalf and triumphs by her eloquen; APP
peals! Without an exception, spirtuous liquor is
the moving cause of the unknd treatment. So
bered by reflection, promises made of amend
ment, which the confdng wife al once believes.
And thus are domestic associations temporarily
interrupted. re-estabshed. How much soever
the wfe-whipper is deserving of severe punish
ment, il is the glory of the wife 10 rescue him
from the peril TO which he is exposed Such
magnanimity and aflectionate effort surely should
win the errng from the folly of his way>.

Swindiing.--For week past, colored man
has been carrying rather an extensive game OF
swindling, in this city, somewhat after the follow
ing described manner Entering a grocery store,
he would say, with an air Of apparent honesty,
that Mr. or General - had sent him 10 order
barrel Of -four, fty pounds of sugar, and
other articles, mentioning themO and that he
would take with him the hams or coffee, or what
ever was most portable, and be al the house 10 re-
ceiye The remainder Of the goods from the porter
In this way he managed TO deceive a number OF
our grocers, who found our their mistake in pac-
ing confidence in him when il was too late. OF
course, he was not al the house 10 receive the
portef being on his way home with the plumber
which he carried in his hands or on his back.
Yesterday morning, we police officers in pur-
suit of him. If he shall be captured, he will doubt
less be placed in certain institution lat labor
for a term OF years, where the inmates are saved
the trouble of procuring groceries.

Charles Dickens made speech at the last
meeting OF the London Reform Association, and
very characteristic speech it was-iull Of the
humor and SLY satire of the novelist There is
point and pungency in the following extract;
If the people were not already convinced that
a sufficient case had been made out for admins
trative reform, they never would be. There was
an old antiquated story, which, to point a moral
and 10 give lesson TO the representatives at st.
Stephens, he should refer TO- Long ago the
mode of keeping accounts Of the Court of Ex-
chequer was by notch-sticks In course of time
Cocker and other celebrated arithmeticians be-
came popular, but official routine still chung 10
the notch-sticks, as if they were the pillars of
the constitution. The Exchequer accounts con-
tinued to be kept by tallies. Late in the reign
of George Ill some revolutionary spirit thought
1t barbarous, in a country Astounding in pens and
pencils, that the custom OF notch-sticks should
be continued. All the red tape turned redder,
but it was not till 1926, that notch-sticks were
abolished. 1t was found in 1884, that there was
considerable accumulation OF them. The ques-
ton was what was to be done with them. They
were housed at Westminster. An order went forth
that they should be privately and conhdentially
burned. 1t came to pass that they were crammed
into a stove in the House of Lords. The stove
set fire to the pannelling-the Pannelling set fire
to the House of'Lords itself. The House of
Lords set fire to the House of Commons, and the
two Houses reduced to ashes. The moral was
plain. 1t was unnecessary to rest administrative
reform particular instances. The great broad
fact, clear the. existance Of the sun, was that
public progress was far behind private progress.
To set that right-to clear the way for merit,
Aristocratic well as Dcmocratc-only asking
whether it was honest and true--he took to be
the object of this association. He particularly
wished that the directors would devise some
means of permitting intelligent working men to
join the association on easier terms than the sub
scriptions paid by those of larger means.

INSTITUTES.

To the School Directors and School Teachers Of
Bradford County,:
THE recent Convention Of School Directors of this Coun
l. ty, adapted a resolution requesting the County Su
periniendent to hold, or cause to be held, Teachers InSti
t!teS in the different townships of the county. In com
plance with this resolution, l now give notice, that inc
necessary arrangements are in progress for holding a Sc
ries of these Teachers Schools. 1t is not deemed adVlsa-
bic to hold one in each township this fall. In many case,
not enough would attend to give them interest and utliltty.
j have accordingly, selected such points for hnidillS the
first series, as has appeared to me most sdllapie ioI tic
different divisions Of the county. The places named are
only suggestive. IF the School Directorsoi ehher OF these
divisions prefer another, | vii! ciieerfu.iy aeluteS'e Ill d
change. The list is given at the foot OF thus notice.
These Institutes are intended tor teachers OEly and
their leading object is to improve teachers in the AIT of
Teaching. 1t is expected that the Teachers and Directors
living near the place of holding these Schools, viii get
the School House which is to be used, in order, keep It
50, have fuel supplied and make provision for boarding
the Instructor.
The incidental expenses of these Institutes, such as the
board Of the Preceptor, fuel, light-for the evenings must
ln occupied with LectureS-Sc., the Teachers must bear.
The amount to each, will, of course, depend on the mum
Ter attending. Four dollars, will probably, be the out
side expenses of one of these Institutes. This to be equal
" borne among the Teachers, be their number twenty or
forty.
Timely notice will be given in the papers, of the com
Increment of each of these Institutes, accompanied by n
programme of the exercises. The first Will be held III To-
wanda, early in October, and will be under the direction
of Professor C. r. CoBURN. Iu the management of the
Others, the Superintendent will have the assistance ofable
teachers.
Themselves to the Secretaries OF the School Board OF the
township where held, before the 18th day OF September
This officers name and address is given in the list below.
| have to request these officers, to report to me the num-
Der as soon as practicable after the 18th.
School Directors are arnestly requested TO give TINS en-
terprise all the encouragement and aid they can. These
Institutes can he made useful. -
