MADELINE SMITH.-Miss Madeline Smith, of
Glasgow notoriety, was, at the last accounts,
residing with her parents. Great sympathy
was shown by the beople and tradesmen of
Scotland toward herself and her family. A
subscription was on foot in Glasgow for the pur-
pose of raising a $1,000 fund for the young
lady, and an address would be presented to her
father stating that, in the opinion of the per-
sons signing il, no dishonor should reflect on
him from the recent occurrences.

APPLES IN NEW HAMPsHIRE-The Manches-
ter American says: Last year apples were unu-
sually scarce, and we are sorry to find that so
far as New Hampshire orchards give evidence,
there is no better prospect for the apple crop of
1857. In the valley of the Merrimac, from
Nashua to Franconia, and in fact in every part
of the State, the fall product will not exceed
that of last year.

State considers him still to be slave. In other
words, the bred Scott case does not decide that
negro is a slave in free State because he was
slave in the State from which he brought; nor
that slave carried from slave to free State and
ed his freedom in the free State that he is nc
cessarily slave after his return; but leaves bis
freedom or slavery to be settled by the laws OF
the slave State to which he returned with his
master.'

GEORGIA PEACH CRop.-1he Central
Georgian informs us that the impression
abroad as to the injury Of the peach crop
in that State are unfounded in fact. The
editor says every tree in that region hangs
full of promises, and, unless some unfore.
seen event takes place, the harvest will
be rich and abundant. We observe else.
where that the famous Indian peach,
growing in great elegance in the south
eastern counties, promises also full and
luscious crop.

A NOBLE GIRL.-Mary Nugent, hired
girl of Piusburg, was horribly burned by
the explosion of camphene lamp \ few
nights ago. She attempted to exlinguish
the flames by throwing herself into a tub
of water, but failing in this, started to
reach the street. At the back gate, how.
ever, she fell exhausted, and when the
neighbors, attracted by the light, reached
her she had only strength to say. "Save
the children, for Gods sake don't let the
children burn" Such disinterested thought
tulness in the midst of death agonies more
merits a monument than all the deeds Of
Caesar.

ImE VICE PRESIDENT W1ruorn

noticing his customers hesitation h...'
to have suspicious that he was abom h..
shaved himself, but lorbore losing his ,,m'

there was some prospect of hi, heinz

OF mind, therefore, when Mr.. B. yerv M

awkward predicament that he had no, W,

al'er tne necessary meal and pay his bill.
Our tonsorial fellow-citizen muttered Ii.
assent to the arrangement, but could no,
help saying, as Mr.. B passed out Of ,ha

THE VOCATION OF THE TEACHER

THE VOCATION OF THE TEAeBER.-
Daniel Webster, in the following brief
paragraph, thus beautifully magnifies tho
vocation Of the teacher:
"It we work upon marble it will per.
ish if we work upon brass, time will ef.
face it. II we rear temples, they will
crumhle into dust il we work upon i'm.
mortal minds-if we Undue them with high
principles, with just fear of God, and OF
their fellow-men, we engrave on those
tablets something which no time can e.
face, but which will brighten to all eter-
nity."

COMBINATION OF PosrMAsTERs.-
There is an impression that the emolum'
ents of the postmasters in our large eites'
resulting from the hire Of boxes or other
wise, are enormous. This is = mistake.
The commissions Of postmasters are limit
ed by law to $4,000, and the receipts
from boxes to be retained by the post
masters are likewise limited to S2OOO, SO
that four thousand dollars is the mlx'om
annual salary for the postmasters oil 'o'
