The Family Circle.

The Baltimore Sun alluding to the prev
alcnce of crime among boys, very proper
ly asserts that one of the main causes of
the decline of morality is the decay of pa
rental discipline. The family circle, the
domestic hearth, is the true fountain of
purity or corruption to public morals
Most people become what they are made at
home. They go forth into the world. to
act ont the character they have formed in
the first fourteen years of their lives. 1t
is alleged, in excuse, that children have
become more unmanageable than they
used to be? We reply. that human
nature and human relations are unchang-
ed.
Children are Just as amenable to author
ity as they ever were This is the main
purpose for which Providence has made
them helpless and dependent, that they
may be trained to obedience, to order, to
industry, to virtue. 1t is not true that
parents hare not as absolute control over
their children as they ever had. When
there is dependence obedience may he en-
forced. The real fact is, that pAfsnfs are
too indolent. too negligent. too indifferent
to train up their children in the way they
should go. 1t requires self-control to
exercise a proper authority over others
Self-conquest is the greatest victory Of
all. There can be no Just parental dis
cipline when there is no character to back

when they went there, and, consequently
the assertion Of the Times cannot be true.
1t knows it is not, but resorts to the sub

the Free State party in Kansas, by the ad-

party, they never denied the right of the

{ 1t does not follow that because slavery
is excepted, that the Republicans fear the
people have not sufficient virtue and intel

the u S. Constitution require the organic
law of any State applying for admission

they regarded as the greatest of all ques-

The Terrible Catastrophe at Sea.

Another terrible tale of disase at sea and
loss of life comes to US from Halifax. The
steamship which it was announced few days
ago as having been seen burning at sea, proves
TO be, as feared, the steamship Austria, which
left Hamburg on the lst instant for New York,
with 420 passengers. The crew consisted of
abou, 100 persons, besides which she may have
taken at Southampton, on the 4th. some 80 or
GU steerage passengers, making in all about
$50 souls. Twe.ve of the survivors of the dis
aster have arrived at Halifax, and report that.
out Of six hundred persons on board, oaly sixty
seven were saved. The vessel caught fire be-
low, on the afternoon of the 18th. Flames
then burst through the decks amdships, and
travelled aft with fearful rapidity. The first
boat let down was instantly crushed, and the
second swamped by the numbers rushing into
II. A metallic boat saved some twenty seven
persons. Only six women were saved, three OF
them shockingly burnt, as were many Of the
male passengers. The calamity appears to
have been as sudden as it was terrible. An ex-
pIOsion of the magazine added to the catastro-
phe, and spread the fire quickly from one end
OF the fated ship to the other. Some appear to
have been smothed in the cabin by the smoke
many others were dreadfully burnt; Others
leaped into the sea, preferring the less fearful
death by water than the terrible one of fire.
In half an hour one the decks was cleared o
the individuals who had taken refuge there. SC
rapid was the progress Of destruction.

ANREsTED.-A difficulty occurred at LeipsiC
Station, on the Delaware Railroad, on Sunday
week, when man named Henry Strobe, and
an lrshman called Jim, beat Risdon Bishop, in
such shocking and cruel manner, that his life
is despaired of. Strobe came to this city on
Tuesday evening with load of peaches, and af-
ter disposing Of them on Wednesday morning,
started for his home in AppoQunimink Hun.
dred. The tathe: of Mr.. Bishop arrived in our
city a short time afterwards and engaged Con-
stable Wingate to go in pursuit of The fugitive.
He did so, and coming up with him at ST.
Georges, he arrested him and brought him back
to our city, where he had hearing before Esq.
Silver who committed him to prison. He was
taken to New Castle and will be removed from
there to Dover. The Irshman has not been
heard of, and he may be an imaginary person, as
the story in regard TO him was given by Strobe

The Kent County Agricultural Fair.

The announcement has at last been made fol
the next Exhibition, by the Secretary, in the
following words:
"The next Annual Fair of the Agricultural
Society of Kent county, Delaware, will be held
at Dover, on Wednesday and Thursday, the 9th
aad 7ih of October"
Heretofore, we have had for weeks previous,

hand Owing, doubtless, to the press of more
engrossng matters), we have the simple an
nouncemcnt in four lines that such an Exhibi-
ton OW take place. We hope, however, that
the officers of the Society have not lost their
usual interest in these Exhibitions, that tend SO
much to the advancement of Agriculture, which,
ia Kent county, we believe is ra pidly advanc-
iag,-and the time is at hand when our Agri-
cultural Fairs-if the farmers will keep up an
interest commensurate with the subject-wil
fully equal those of other localities which are
SO loudly commended far and near. Let the
farmers not allow their interest in what is their
chief Neutrality-suspicious., be absorbed bv
other and far less important things, but let
each and every friend and promoter of improve.
ment in agriculture, horticulture, manufactures,
arts, &C., attend and contribute some pro-
duct of his or her industry, and skill to aug |
ment the variety and interest of this exhibition.
The Rural NeW Yorker we'll says that it re-
CARDS the county fairs as the most useful and |
important. There is no doubt that they are,
promoting as they do a commendabe rivalry
and consequent effort for and accomplishment
of Improvement in each local section. They
are therefore worthy of the first consideration.
These exhibitions should not be neglected by
those who conveniently attend as competi- +
tors. or even as spectators only, for much can be
seen and learned that will prove beneficial to
practical and progressive men. All our fairs
should be more largely attended, not only by
those who exhibit, but by people who need re-
creation and entertainment as well as instruc-
ten. Our people, as the Bait. Sun Justly sa, s.
have too few holidays Gall work and no play"
il not best for either health or prosperity, and
we therefore favor The idea Of combining limo
cent amusement with the useful and instructive
features of our shows thus rendering them en-
phatcally rural holidays-days of celebration
and rejoicing as we'll as Of exhibits of the best
products OF the skill and industry of the people.
The practical and useful should have the pre-
ference, but the attractive and even amusing
may properly be included in every programme.

A LOTTERY GRANr.-It has been apparent
for sometime, that deep scheme has been laid
TO so control the political machinery that ano-
ther Lottery Grant may be obtained from the
next Legislature. The following, from the
Peninsusr NeUs, will give soFse idea Of what
is wanted, minus the means that are being
used to obtain it:
Six hundred thousand dollars will be the very
lowest sum offered the State of Delaware at
the approaching session of the Legislature, fer
aa exclusive lottery grant for twenty years,
aud a mlliea! can be obtained for 1t just as
easily. THIS may sound strange but IT is true.
Just at this time five millions OF dollars is a low
estimate of what shrewd lottery spectators can
Realize from an exclusive grant of this charac-
ter for twenty years by the Delaware legisla-
ture. Such are the facts, the arguments Pre-
and cen are yet TO come.

Public Schools.

At the late School Convention of New Cns
tie county, held in Wilmington, and parlicipa-
ted in by Judge Hall, Rev. Messrs. Newlin and
Wiswel, Drs. Askew, Grimshaw, Johns and
Others the following resolutions were passed:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con.
venion, too little attention has heretofore been
paid to the cultivation of correct manner of
speech, in our common schools and that Eng.
lIsh Grammar should be taught in every school,
to eUery child attending the school.
Resolved, That common schools can deserve
the support of communities, such IS ours, grow-
ing in intelligence aud enterprise, only SO long
as the former manifest life and progress by
steady and real improvement, viz: improve
ment in every point of school efficiency, by bet
ter tuition, better discipline and regimen, and
by wider and wider advances in the domain of
useful learning.
Resolved That the provision in the school
law which gives power to Commissioners, gives
them full power to provide out of the tax COL
lected for school purposes, necessary books,
maps, black boards, &c.
On motion of President Newlin, the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That as citizens of the State of
Delaware, we are now, as we long have been,
prepared for Legislative action on the subject
Of education and we shall hail with pleasure
any advance movement which may be made by
the Legislature during the coming winter.
The Republican says, a growing interest is
being manifested in these nurseries of liberty

evinced in the large County Picnic held in
Folly Woods, near Newport, on Thursday last.
The Editor says -" Never have we behsd SO
many happy faces. and but seldom SO large an

zens with their happy families were there from

ance to tho object thus laudabIy sought to be
