Authority Of teachers.

In reference TO the authority Of teachers
over scholars out of school hours, the late de-
cision of the State Superintendent will not
only prove judicious but is necessary.
Some years ago Prot. Stowe of Ohio was
sent 10 visit the best schools of Europe, and
10 report The opinion OF the best teachers as
to discipline, method and study in schools
On the subject of discipline Mr.. Wood of
The Seasonal school in Edinburg said-''The
laws of the school are never TO be violated,
even out of schoo hours"
On the same point Mr.. Kunze of the Fred
erick Orphan House in Berlin, Prussia, says:
-''The teacher has the control, SO far as he
can get it. The government ~suslains him in
it.n
Professor Schwartz of the University Of
Heidelberg in Baden says-'tI In all that re-
lates 10 the school, the teacher must have
tae control out of school hours"
These concurrent opinions from most EN-.
inent teachers are all that Professor Stowe
reports.

TINE OF ExANINATioN.-As the County Su.
perintendent cannot atoays be al home, he
would have all teachers who desire certif-
Gates TO call upon him on the second or last
Saturday of any month, which days he will
set apart for The examination and instruction
of teachers.
Before the winter terms Of the schools open
he will visit the d%ifferen. towns IN The county
10 9 teachers near their home foy exami-
nation. The times and places will be here
after ann onnced. Teachers will be much
more benefited when a whole class is ex.
amined, for the requisite time can then be
given to each subject.

MASSACHUSETTS PHILANTHRoPY.-Mary Will
liams and her infant daughter, the latter born
in Massachusetts, was sent 10 Europe OH
Monday, from the town of Monson, Mass,
for the crime of being too poor TO live in that
Commonwealth. The woman had come
away from Ireland because she was TOO poor
10 live there. According 10 these two facts,
the poor creature has no right 10 live al all.
Massachusetts, about a year ago, was 10 a
terrible ferment, because the law sent Burns
back TO Virginia. The Boston Adrertiser says:
"The treasury Of the United STATES bore The
expense OF the rendition Of Anthony Burns.
The treasury Of Massachusetts paid for the
rendition of Mary Williams. But then he
was a negro, & nan and a brother; > while
she was only a white woman ; a woman and
a mother.n

THE LIQUOR LAW IN N. Y. Ciry.-The New
York Mirror announces, by authority, that
the liquor dealers in New York will continue
10 sell as usual after the 4ih of July. If an
officer Of the law seizes and destroys liquor.
The aggrieved PARTY will call on some two or
three OF his most respectable neighbors, and
make them sworn appraisers of his wasted
property. He Then will Instantly commence
a suit for damages against the State. The
Mirror adds that several of the old and ablest
lawyers are willing 10 risk their legal reputa-
tons upon the recovery Of damages, 10 the

An ATTEMPT has just been made 10 extolt
$4,000 from Barnum, by a bill-siicker con-
nected with his Museum. He charged Bar
mum with taking improper liberties with his
wife, and offered 10 hush ii up for money
The case was so transparent an attempt al
exlortion, however, that it was dismissed
from Court. Barnum addressed the repor-
tiers al the end of the hearing, stating that,
though he might have kept this charge Sc
cret by conserving TO ihe mans terms, yet he
considered ii was properin him 10 resist the
attempted extoriion, and in this he conceived,
he for once did his duty 10 The public.

BID FoR VOTES.

Ths Philadelphia Bulletin bids for temper
snce voies as auxiliarie les 10 the Know-Noih
ing cause, ard tries 10 lie The two together.
No doubt the late Philadelphia election has
warned the secret conspirators thai they
need help, and bad better truckle 10 some
ally like temperance. But will the true
Temperance men Of Pennsylvania suffer this?
Will they be tied hand and foot TO this body
of dying and corrupting bigoiry known as
Know-N othingism! Will they suffer The
cause of morality and virtue 10 become iden-
tilted with the party which has such men
as the notorious Hiss for its high priests, and
such women as Mrs. Patterson for it's divin.
iliesa
Tie following is the bid of the Bulletin for
temperance votes.
"Lager and Liberty % "The Pope and
PoleenW arc to be inscribed on the banners oil
the Rummies, and with such inspiring watch
words, Pennsylvania is 10 be revolutionized
There will be but Two great parties in the
Slaie--the "Know.N lettings" and Inc "Take
Something's" People OF Pennsylvania de-
fine your position in time for the next cleo
ton"
This comes from that political temperance
parry In Philadelphia which last fall nominal
ted Samuel G. Hamilton as It's candidate
for Stale Senator, and opposed Mr.. Browne,
who made the most discreet and honest
temperance member Of the Senate. II m
from the men who always have and always
will oppose temperance whenever it does
notoppose Democracy and help Cameron

LICENSE QUEsTIoN.-Judse Galbraith has
refused 10 grant licenses 10 inns and taverns
in Erie County. He also decided that there
was no law in existence at this time which
regulated the sale of liquors; that all laws
relating thereto, purishments, 60, have been
repealed and no law can be effective until
October the LIST; at which Time the new law
goes into effect. BY this decision it appears,
that every body can sell just as much liquor,
until October LIST, as they please, withop1fear
Of low, as no law Furnishing the same is in
existence.

no offence. The complaints were dischar.
