E1-" Leaves from the Diary of School
Teacher" is the heading to an original produc-
ton before US. 1t is not pleasant to reject
fAvors Of this description, especially when as
well written as this one. The writer has abil-
ity, but the subject selected REQUIRES pecu-
liar treatment for general readers. The
style is too prolix. Our space is precious,
and lengthy articles must possess rare attrac-
tions to insure insertion. The FIRST thing for
writer's to do is to 5e certain they have an
idea ; next, select the form in which it will
make the best appearance; then say what is
to the point and stop. One article well writ
ten is worth more to the writer and reader
than volume Of immature thoughts careless
ly thrown together. Everybody thinks, But
most people do not mature and preserve their
thoughts. We want ripe thoughts, upon in
teresting subjects, fashionsbly clad.

STRANGE Something strange
is reported to have occurred at Pea Ridge, in
Lincoln County, Tenn, a few weeks ago. A
horse and plow-so goes the story-which a
farmer was using in his field, sunk and disap-
psared in the earth, leaving a hole to which
no bottom has yet been found, and into which
the farmer himself came near falling. His
neighbors were called to the place, who, by
means of ropes, let him down in search of the
horse and plow to tile depth Of thirty or forty
feet but the further he went the larger the
hole appeared, and he called to his friends to
pull him up, which they did. Several unsuc-
oessful attemps were afterwards made to faith
ON the hole. The horse and plow have
"gone the way of all the earthly Y.

talents, and he made practical use of the
means at his command, so that his books are
always readable. His style is plain, and though
his volumes are quoted as authorities by the
learned, they are popular with the people of
all classes who read. His statements respect

Whereas, whilst hostilties exist with various
Indian tribes on the remote frontiers of the
United States, and whilst in other respects the
public peace is seriously threatened, Congress
has adjourned without granting necessary sup
plies for the army, depriving the Executive of
the power to perform his duty in relation to the
common defence and security, and an extraor.
binary occasion has thus arisen for assembling
the two Houses Of Congress: do, therefore,
by this my Proclamation, convene the said
Houses to meet at the Capitol, in the city of
Washington, on Thursday, the 2lst day of Au-
gust, inst; hereby requiring the respective Sen
stors and Representatives then and there to as

of the United States to be hereunto affixed, and
