the labors Of the past, finds their best use

LANCASTER, Sept. 10, '55.
EDIrok MeELRof: / am informed that
our public schools have boon discontinued
to-day for the purpose of giving the pupils,
aid perhaps some of the teachers, an op-
portunity of patronizing circts. or shOO
of some kind. This is all wrong, and
ought not to be countenanced by the tax
payers of Lancaster. do not know who
are in fault; but perhaps the School Di-
rectory or Superintendent can onlighten
the public on the subject. / learn that
the daily expenses Of teaching amount to
about $50 per day; and this sum comes
out of the pocket Of the people. for the ig-
noble and unchristian purpose of support
ing miserable, thieving set of travelling
exhibitors of folly and wickedness. Our
public schools need reform. and that speed
lily. A TAXPAYER.

And way down the winding green valley,
And over the mcadow--snooth shurm,-
How the ew-drops lay flashing and glcamin.
On the pale rosy robes Of tht morn.
How the blusl-blossoms shook on the upland
Like red cloud of sunset aiar,
And the lilies CLEANED up from the marsh poIic
Like the pale silver rim Of a star;
How the brook chincd Il beautiful chorus,
With the birds that sung high in the trees
And how the bright shadows of sunset
Trailcd goldenly down On the breeze.

That sushcd in the shade of the oaks,
And how the white buds Of the mistictuc,
Fell Down at the Woodlands strokes,
On the morning when cruel Sir Spencer
Came down with his naughty train,
To uproot the old kings Of the greenwood
That Swallowed his golden grain.
For HE dwclt in lordly castle
That lowered halfway up the hill,
And we in u poor little cabin
In the shade of the wcathcr-brown mill,
Therefore the naughty Earl Spencer
Came down with his knigltlv train,
And uprooted our beautiful root-trccs
That Swallowed his golden grain.

When the mistletoe buuglIs lay shed;
But never the curse of the orphan

Had gladdened the earth once moro,
No branches of g,iarled cakes oldcn
Made shadows across the floor.

DESPERATE FIGlrr WITH INDIANS IN TEX
As.--Noblc conduct ofn dor. The following
account ola desperate fight with party Of
Indians Is copied from the San Antonio Lcdg-
CIR:
On Saturday evening, June 3Oth, some Ii
Indians surrounded the house of Mr.. West
fall, who is well known to the most of our
citizens, and who lives in the Icona, some
thiity-iive mios below Fort Ingc. The at
tack was made upon Mr. Wcstfall while he
was absent from the honsc, having at the
time no occupants in it but Frcnchman
named Louis, and large dog. 1t seems the
Indians had been lying in wait rfor some
Tune, and took this opportunity tc attack
MN. hr. esttall, however, succeeded in
getting back to his house. Wounded in a
dangerous manncr-the Jail striking him in
,iie l".t breast .',lgn up, and coming out of
M JACK under the opposite shoulder. lie
fastened the door, and the Indians then com
menccd an attack on the house. Louis and
"cstiall now exchanged shots with them in
rapid succession; but Westfall was fast fail
ing from loss Of blood. Louis approached an
aperture i'll the wall in order to make sure
aim, and was Shot through the heart, fell
and expired. The faithful dog on seeing
Louis fall, and the blood streaming from his
body, became frantic with rage, and rushing
out OF small aperture, sprang among the
Indians, seized one and tore every garment
from his body. and was on the eve Of killing
nm, when he was shot and overpowercd by
INC demons i'll human form that surrounded
nm HIM. Poor dog, he has nobly s,criic d
his life IN defence of his master.
Mestinll, oyerpowercd by the loss of blood,
could only support himself low by holding
10 the wall of the house; but nothing daunt-
Gu he tore large aperture i'll the wall and
stuck his gun ont, in order to keep up APP
pcaiances. The Indians, no doubt thinking
they would have long scige, and many Of
Them being severely wounded, left, taking
with them with them all the horses belonging
10 the raach. 1t was now night, and Wcslfal
remembers crawling to his bed, which was
the last Consciousness he had until last
Sunday evening, when he found himseflying
on his bed covered with blood that had come
from the wound and kept his bod until Mon.
| day, when from the stencil of the dead body
in the room he found something must b,
| done. With great effort he succeeded III
dragging the body about twenty feet, but
could get it no farther. AT sunset on Mon
day evening he Started towards Fort lnge fcl
assistance; but succeeded that night in get
ting only four miles and OH Wednesday, ev
ening he arrived at a house in the vicinity o
Fort lnge, where he procured assistance ant
IS still alive and his physician has strong
hopes of his recovery. ..t,. ..tr
Mr.. Westlall is man oc strong frame ant

jury just as they were on the point Of scizng

and putting him i'll their place. One of the

OPERATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES Mint.
The operations Of the Mint at Philadelphia
for the month Of July was quite small. The
dcposites of gold were SOD $50 and of silver
bullion S456, 600. making the entire dcpos-
ties OF the month S6jI $50. The gold coin :
age, whole in double eagles and gold dollars,
amounted to only $2SO,3S0; the silver coin
age, wholly in quarter dollars, was only
Si.o, 600. The total number of pieces com,
GU during the month was 599.7SS, of the
value of S435,3sO. This is an unusually
light business. 1t is proper to remark, how
ever that the coinage operations were sus-
pended ON the DIST utmo, preparatory to
the commencement of the alterations ncccs-
Sary to make the mint Luildng fire proof.
