A Low VOICE IN WoMEN.-Yes, we agree
with the old poet who said that low, soft voice
was an excellent thing in women" Indeed,
We feel inclined TO 60 much farther than be has
on the subject, and call it her crowning charm.
No matter what other attractions she may have;
she may be as fair as the Trojan Helen, and as
learned as the famous Hypatia of ancient times;
she may have all the Accomplishments consid,
cred requisite at the present day. and yet if she
lacks low, sweet voice she can never be really
fascinating. How often the spell of beauty is
rudey broken by coarse. loud talking. How
cften you are irresistibly drawn to plain, un-
assuming woman, whose soft. silVery tones,
render her POSITIVELY attractive. Besides, we
fancy we can judge of the character by the
voice; the bland, smooth, ,fawning tone seems to
US to betoken deceit and hypocracy, as inv ari.
able as the musical, subdued voice indicates
genuine refinement. In the social circle how
pleasant it is to hear the sex talk in that low
key, which always chsractelises the true lady
In the sanctuary of home, how such voice
soothes the fretlul child, and cheers the weary
husband. How sweetly its cadence floats O.
round the sick chamber: and the dying bed;
with what solemn melody do they breathe
prayer for the departing soul. All. yes, low

fE Alta meeting Of the Pittsburgh Board
Of Trade. gentleman submitted proposition
on the subject of improving The Ohio river,
oy converting it into slack water canal. The
suggestions we're unanimously approved by
the Board, and were earnestly recommended
10 public consideration. The distance from
PIttsburg to the mouth Of the Ohio is OH
miles, with an aggregate fall of 4a5 feet. II is
assumed that to convert the entire river into
slack water would require only fifty locks, Of
an average lift Of 81 feet, which would create
pools Of an aggregate length of I3e miles,
The average cost of the work is from seven to
ten thousand dollars per mile, which is suppos-
ed to be about half the expense of an ordina-
ry canal, OF about One-third the average cost

Instruction in the Mathematics.

L. i. SULIOT, a native of Paris, and q graduate
of the University of Glasgow, intends teaching
the elements of Mathematics, from Geometry to
the Diferential and Integral Calculus, with their
applications to Surveying, the Laws of Forces and
of Planetary Motion-Classics and French, in the
High School of Franklin, Portage Co, conducted
by the Principal, Mr.. PEcoUErT, and his sister, the
Superintendent of the Female Department, who
taught there last year, with great success, all the
branches of an English Education, Music, &c.
Wishing to give their pupils increased %facilitie;
and a wider range of subjects, they have proposed
to I. Z. SUMoT to join his labors with theirs.
Il. f. SULIoT does not include Algebra in his
list. 1t will still be taught by Miss PEGoUETT, q
superior teacher of that indispensable complement
of an arithmetical course.
These classes, open to young people of boil
sexes, white or colored, begin on the Goth of August
The terms will not exceed those of similar estab
lIshments. No pains will be spared to encourage
the efforts of the pupils after selfimprovcment
especially of those wishing to fit themselves fol
teachers.
Franklin is II miles from Earlville station, or
the Pittsburgh & Cleveland Railway. Board car

As to his competency, 7. f.. SULIoT has higf
testimonials, covering 80 years of his professional
life, and can confidently appeal to many of thu
best known citizens of Salem, or to any of hi
pupils. With regard to the school, he can only
say, that, for his own sake, he would not hav,
connected himself with it had he not been satisfied
of its superior merit.

THE FIRST OF JULY IN 1866 AND 1856.

On the LIST of July 1855, that is to say. three
hundred years ago last Sunday, John Bradford
and John Leaf were brought into the public thor
oughfare at Smith6eld, they were tied to a stake
and their bodies were burned with fire. Bradford
was a clergyman, and Leaf was a young lad
both were put to death by the fury of an offended
law, which said, you have no business to have
any conscience, and in matters Of religion you must
conform to the priests"
On the LIST of July, 1855 that is to say, three
hundred years after these Smithfeld martyrdoms,
q great number of decent and respectable people
were assailed by police power in Hyde park, and
some of them were t~rampled down and CARRIED
off to prison, because they had assembled together
to protest against a legal invasion of their religi
Gus feelings and liberties, for the law makers camC
forth and said to them, "you must submit to tina
kind of Sabbath which we choose TO appoint fol
you, and if you don't you shall be punished"
Therefore, the 1855 of England is not, after all
so great an improvement upon the England Of
1855 the punishment is diferent but the ofenc,
is the same, and the offence is resisting a dominan
sect.
Another point. In July OF this present year
