in the merry group around The Christ

tripped it again in the May dance, or

THE SWISS DIFFICULTY.

The Swiss Republic is now threatened
by its neighbor Prussia, because it has
the frmness to maintain its political rights
Prussia lately instigated monarchial in
surrecton in Neufchatel, with the design
OF bringing that canton exclusively un-
der Prussia rtle. The Instruction was
unsuccessful and a number of the par
Elephants in it were made prisoners
Prussia demanded their release, setting
up the claim that she possesses the SOW
ereign authority in the Canton, The
Swiss Federal authority have refused the
demand, and maintain that Prussia's IT,
Tie is invalid, and hat it is their duty to
sustain the independence Of the Canton,
which has steadily refused to recognize
Prussia's pretensions while maintaining
It's political relations with the Swiss Fed
Grafton. gfs.t M
The Swiss Journals state that the Fed
eral Government is neglecting no mea-
sure that prudence could command for
the defence of the territory. The federal
military direction has just sent a circular
to all the cantons, directing their atten-
tion to the necessity of neglecting no
means for the proper organization of the
Landwehr. Hitherto but little impor-
lance has been attached TO that part of
the service, the two contingents of the
army and the reserve being considered
sufficient.
A letter from Berene says:
The Swiss government are preparing
for the worst. The following details of
the force which, in defence of the terri
tory, it could bring into action, are, I'M
der the present circumstances, interest
ing. The staff on the Helretic army
comprises 40 federal lieutenant colonels,
43 generals Of brigade, and a proportion
ate number of other officers. TIE title
of general is only given to the federal
colonel, the commander-in-chief of the
army. The effective strength of the
troops is thus composed.
Engineers, 1900 men Artillery,
1922 do. Cavalry, 3008 do. Rifle
men, 1906 do. Infantry, $50, 631 do;
Medical staff, or service de santa 637 do.
Total I62, 943 men and 700 guns.
The federal government, moreover,
can, in case of war, call out the ~cantonal
troops, consisting of upwards of 10000
men, and would probably recall the
2 1000 Swiss who form the army of the
King of Naples. In fact Switzerland
can put on foot a force of about 214, 900
men.

EgT 1t viii be seen from the commu-
nication of Mr.. Turner to the people of
this school district, which will be found
in another column, that he has concluded
to take upon himself the responsibility
of establishing in the school under his
charge, classes for the study of the high
or branches of English education. We
think that no reasonable objection can be
made TO such a course, and especially as
it entails upon the people no extra ex-
pense, and the usual attention TO the more
common branches is guaranteed. LISA
great mistake to consider these branches
mere accomplishments. Most OF them
are absolutely necessary to an intelligent
appreciation Of the ordinary avocations of
life. And especially is this SO IN refer
ence to Chemistry. There is not an op-
~eration-in the kitchen or the laboratory
ON the farm or in the wofkshop-in
which a knowledge Of Chemistry does
not become practical. We do not mean
to say that a farmer VINO never studied
Chemistry from books, cannot be success
full in cultivation--nor that the blacksmith
who never heard the word, cannot prop
erly perform his mechanical operations /;
yet the processes which take place in
both instances are chemical ones, and the
result of chemical knowledge. And 10
have an intelligent knowledge of the re-
suit produced it is evidently necessary
that they should understand the causes
which produced them-and with such
knowledge, they would be enabled to
simplify manyan operation which to them
is now extremely complex b
And again: How important to many
mechanics isTa knowledge Of Geometry.

knowledge finds practical application in
many other departments Of business.

utility, are the other studies which Mr..
