efficiency The branches taught will be the same as

cred the most important pursuit of the pupils; and
while it will be the constant business of the nstruc-
Tor to impart knowledge, il will also be his aim 10
lead his pupils 10 make practical application of
their acquisitions. To load the mind with nnumer-
able formulas, without causing it Them would
be like placing bow in chIld's hand, without

object, as it has been, TO lead the pupil to

We invite the attention Of ons young men TO
the advertisement of our valued friend WM NJ
HAIL, Esq, which will be found in another
column. MIR. H. proposes 10 teach a class in
Surveying, and we feel well assured that those
who place themselves under his instruction will
never regret having done so. Possessing full
knowledge of this business himself, he knows
we'll how to Nnpart it TO others This favorable
opportunity TO learn Surveying shouldinduce our

it Immediately, and We have no doubt they will
do SO.
1--WE unintentionalIy neglected 10 state,
last week, in noticing the Poor House appoint
ments, that VS.. F. MooREHEAD and EMANUEL
OsTER, Esqs. had been re-appointed as steward
and miller to said establishment. Both these
gentlemen have discharged their duties well,
and to The entire satisfaction OF the people,
We consider Mr.. Moorehead as well calcula-
ted for Steward as any man that could have
been Seiected-in fact, we look upon him as the
very man to do ample justice to the uniortu-
nate poor, and sick, placed under his control
and, as for MIR. Oster, he is we'll known to be

GFREFORM.-We have heard some boast
ing in few quarters, of certain reforms at the
Poor House, which consist, we believe, in cur
failing the salaries heretofore allowed TO the
Physician, Clerk, and Treasurer, and abolishng
the office Of Attorney. If the County Commits
SionerS would reduce the salaries Of certain
other TreaSurers and CLERKS, and other officials
about the Court House, and cut off their Attor-
ney, which is just as useless as the one at the
Poor House, would this parade be made in COM
mendation OF their conduct? No reasonable
man viii say that the salaries ofthe Poor House
were too large. Ifa Physician dors his duty
in attending faithfully 10 the loatdsOme cases

ROSTERS vs.. POLLOCK.


Pollock, attempted to address an exhibition of
'SAanghois' in Philadelphia, but they declined
to hear him. A II was quiet when the Governor
entered the spacious building, but no sooner had
he opened his mouth to speak, than all the
Roosters commenced to crow, and continued to
do so until they had 'Ecrowed him down."
The Governor acknowledged the corn, and
took his seat. Some say he afterwards retired
TO another room to take drink!
Gov POLLOCK has pardoned DR.. BEALE,
about whom so much has been said in the pub
lie prints. It was reported by the K. n. pa
pers that thirty thousand dollars had been raised
TO procure his pardon by Gov. BIGLER-bnt
Gov. B. didn't pardon him! If he had, all
these Journals stood ready to charge the Execu-
tive with CORRUPTION-now they applaud
a Governor of their ''own sort' for opening the
priSion doors and trampling upon the verdict Of
Court and Jury. Pollock established as rule,
that persons applying for pardon, should have a
notice of the fact published in newspaper of
the proper County. In this case, however, the
Governor required no such notice If Gov.
Pollock would turn out every criminal in all
the Penitentaries his conduct would receive the
applause Of every k. n. paper in the State-

We must plead ignorance in reply to the
questions of our friend GO" in another
column ION the outside) Mr.. Comstock is
no =" friend" or acquaintance even of ours,
and we know nothing personally of his
claimed discoveries 1t seems, however, that
the committee of the n. Y. State Agricultural
Society considered them 'important In them
selves" Tue Country Gentleman reveals
what it says is " the whole secret" in u re-
cent number, as follows
We have heard Mr. Comstock " disclose
the disclosures " For six long weary hours
We listened, expecting every minute to hear
the profound secret revealed. After the Pro-
icssor concluded, we had to ask him. in good
faith, what, in all the array of incohercnt
words we had been listening to, he considered
his secret. BY much questioning we got ut
it. 1t appears to be this. The point of
union between the roots and stem of the
plant, and which in trees is usually called
the collar, the Professor has discovered to be
the "scat Of Wc." If the tree be planted too
deep, the seat Of hle changes its location,
coming up to the surface while the part OF
the stem between the old seat of life and the
new, HrO,CS ont roots, and the original roots
and all the wood formed from them, decay
This is the whole secret. The Professor says
some good things against planting too deep
that may be worth 81, but which will be
found in any treatise ON fruit culture. The
rrctenson that the potato disease. the wheat
wceyii, the ycllOws and curl in the peach
&c., are due to violation of Mr.. Com5tock :
law, is the shocrcst humbug, In fact there
is no such universal law us he rrctcnds tC
have discovered.
