NOTES ON SCHOOLS.

Mr.. Editor-For the benefit of teachers, I
send you the result of my observations on
schools, taken while travelling through the
State Of Ohio, which, if you think proper,
you can lay before your readers.
In some respects, the people of this State
are in advance of us, while in others they are
still far behind. One of their commendable
advancements is the large number of neat
and convenient school houses built within the
last few years. Every township has section
Of land granted to it, permanently for the
use of schools, which relieves the citizens
from the usual heavy tax for building pur-
poses. All the schools are supplied with
public libraries which are also donations from
the State.
As regards the literal qualifications of
teachers, they compare fayorably with those
of almost any other State. The examinations
are commonly pretty strict, no certificates be-
ing granted to any whe are not we'll versed
in the common English branches. This has
expelled most of the impostors among teaohi
ers. But as an Offset to this the art of
teaching, or impartng their knowledge to
their pupils, seems very imperfectly under
stood by many. When they have put in their
time they can draw their money, which ap-
pears to be the end of their object. Buttheir
indifference is less surprising when we con-
to superintend and examine schools to see
that they are rightly conducted. | am not to
be understood, however, that all are such, for
in towns where schools are under the direction
Of competent persons, they are generally
houriShing. | think | never saw much better
conducted schools than those in Urbana, under
the supervision of our jealous friend Of edu-
cation, Mr.. Deuel.. This only veri6es what
we have said before in regard to the utility of
County Superntendents.
Females are mostly employed during the
summer season for various reasons, one of
which is on account of the low salaries for
which they can be had and in some instances
we thought these were shamefully low.
Teachers Institutes are held in nearly ev-
cry county, which last from two to four weeks
and sometimes much longer, but | have not
heard that District Associations have ever
been held and venture te say that major
ity of teachers have never yet seen work On
education or teaching SIGMA.

Terrible Accideat-Weare panied to an
nounce the occurrence of sad catastrophe,
the result it is to be feared, of carelessness.
1t appears that about noon on Tuesday Of
last week, five men and two boys ascended
the shaft at the Thompsontown colliery, in
car resting on cage. When within
few inches Of the top, pin on which the
cage rests when it reaches the top, was
pulled out too soon, and the car was not on
a level with the platform sufficiently to per-
NIT it to be rolled off the cage. In this
position two of the wheels of the car were
rolled off the cage; but it was found i'm
possible to get the other wheels off. a
signal was given to the engineer, who
could not see the position of the cage, to
hoist a little. Unfortunately, it was hoist
ed too high; the car tilted, was freed en-
tirely from the cage, and the next instant,
with its freight of precious lives, consist
ing of four men and two boys, was dashed
darn the shaft, perpendicular depth Of
t,eo hundred and forty feet, The remains
of the unfortunate men and boys were, az
ter the occurrence, removed to the surface
in a shockingly mutilated condition. Two
of the men killed, named Sullivan and
Kenwich, leave families The other two,
one Of whom was named Brennan, were un-
married. The names of the two boys we
have not learned.
This is one of the most terrible mining
accidents which has ever happened in this
county, and we grieve to say that it is one
attributable alone to carelessness. If mi
ners themselves would only, as a body, be
as careful as their employers and bosses are
solicitous for their safety, we should not be
called on so often to note these distressing
casualties Miners Journal.

KILLING BIRDS, SQUIRRELS, &c.

KILLING BIRDS, SQUIRRELS, &c.
There are those who allow themselves to be
called men, and even members of church,
who, whenever they happen to see bird
hopping around merrily on a tree or fence
and warbling its delightful lays, or squirrel
frisking about tree, are destitute of all
humane feelings as to kill, wantonly, these
creatures that were created by an almighty
hand to Ire and fulfil their destiny. | have
seen boys, and even persons who were grown
up-I will not call them men, howeyer-shout-
ing, and throwing stones and clubs, and mta>
king noise enough, while in hot pursuit of 2.
defenceless little squirrel, to be heard about
a fourth of a mile, inducing some of their
more peaceable neighbors to believe that they
had become crazy or that "lhe man with the
poker" was after them.
But the poor innocent birds must also be-
ware of these wolves, for persons Of this cast
of mind think it is a small thing to pick up a
stone and kill them whenever they have an
opportunity to do so, and then perhaps leave
their lifeless bodies lying the ground to be
devoured by flies and worms. 1t might be
supposed that an Arab or a wild Hottentot
would perhaps behave thus, but it is sad
thought indeed that such uncalled for cruelty
should be practiced in a civilized country.
How sane person ever take delight in
thus killing the beautiful and useful birds and
squirrels? o, base cruelty thus to destroy
the birds that render our forests, our groves,
and our fields vocal by their ife-awakenipg
songs. o, base cruelty! to destroy, for sport,
the little squirrels that inhabit our woodlands
and our fields, and give rational beings lessons
of industry and peacefulness. Boys take a
warning never kill the birds or squirrels for
sport. How lonely would be the fields and
groves without the soft, sweet, and melodious
strains which you hear the birds sing, and
how pleasant it is to see the little squirrels
skipping around on the trees and fences.
Birds and squirrels, like everything else that
was created were created for some useful
purpose. Then let them lire.

What Encouragement does for
Children,

How many parents make sad mistake
in considering their duty done if they re-
prove or correct their children when in fault.
They go upon the principle that to do right
is no more than the child's duty, needing
no praise. \ word of approval for 4 good
act, often does more to encourage its repe-
tition than thousand reproofs for contra
ry course The distinguished painter,
Benjamin West, referring to the fact that
his mother kissed him eagerly when he
showed her a likeness he had sketched Of
his baby sister, remarked "That kiss
made me painter" We knew a little
farmer boy, whose impulses were good, but
he had only been accustomed to hear his
trivial faults spoken of, and he finally came
to consider that the only acts he could do
worthy Of notice were bad ones, and he
lost all ambition to try to do we'll But on
one occasion the boy overheard a conyersa-
ton in an adjoining room, between his
motherand the family physician. Thephy
scian, partly in fattery to the mother it is
true, remarked that " her boy was a bright
lad, with good sympathies, and would
doubtless make good and great man. or
words to that effect The expression sunk
deep into the child's heart The fact that
one, for whose opinion he had great re-
spect, thought it possible for him to accom-
plish anything worthy, stirred his ambition,
and he made a new resolve to be not only
great but also good. He has since filled
many stations Of usefulness in society and
in the church, and we have often heard
him attribute all efforts he had made to do
right, to those simple words of the physi-
clan.
Take another instance: A little lad re-
ceivcd from an uncle the gift Of two pen
MES. These were to him quite treasure,
| for pocket money was something he knew
nothing Of Some time after a missionary
agent called, and pictured in glowing terms
the visit of the Flat-head Indians who
came from beyond the Rocky Mountains in
search of the White mans book that told
about the Great Spirit. The little boy lis
tened to the narrative until his sympathies
became interested, and going to his moth
er he asked for one of his pennies which
she had kept laid away for him, and brought
it to the agent to help buy Bibles for the
poor Indians The agent, who was ven
cradle minister, took the lad upon his knee
and talked to him Of Zacheus who gave
half of his goods to the poor, and express
sed hope that he too would perhaps some
time teach the word of God to the heath
en-. The boy was previously of nervous,
desponding temperament, and had few lofty
aspirations, or rather hopes; but he was
changed from that hour. IF so good man

as he thought the minister to be, had ven
tured to hope that he could ever accom-
plish anything, he would certainly try A
few subsequent words that the best way to
be good is to seek an interest in the Sa-
viour's precious blood, and the aid of the
Holy Spirit in striving to follow the exam
pie of Christ's life ON earth, was the means
of leading that boy to seek, and ever after
strive to pursue an exalted christian course
Of conduct We have heard him attribute
all his future efforts for the good of others,
to the simple incident we have related in
his own words. Could we trace back to
their sources, the springs of human actions
how many thousands Of instances could be
found, where a single word has influenced
all future action. We have often compar-
ed these influences, trifing in themselves,
to the tongue q. e., the frog moved by
the switch upon the railroad track, which
one can move with his finger; yet it is the
point which keeps the ponderous engine up
on the straight track, or if wrongly placed,
starts it aside, when it is perhaps soon hurl-
ed down steep embankment to certain de-
struction.
Parents, watch these turning points in
your child's life; and while you reprimand
for errors, do not forget to mingle words of
encouragement-Americore Agriculturist.

MONKEYS AT MALACCA.

In the afternoon we used to paddle gen
tly up " Monkey Greek, to enjoy the cool
shade of the forest and amuse ourselves.
Passing clear of the belt of the Mangrove,
we soon fioated among the luxuriant vege-
tation of the Indian jungle, the underwood
here and there giving place to small patch
es Of grass or weed. Large alligators
which had been ashore on either bank,
launched themselves slowly into the creek,
or turned round and kept steady watch
with their cruel lookingyellow eyes. Bright
colored iguanas and strange shaped lizards
shu11ed along the banks, or lay on the
branches of trees, putting themselves up
SO as to look like nothing earthly the
shrill call of the pea hen, and the eternal
chattering of monkeys gave life and ami
nation to the scenes. Pushing our canoe
in amongst the overhanging wild vines
and creepers so as to hide her, we sat
quietly awaiting the monkeys, and ditwas not
long before they commenced their gambols
to attempt to frighten us; string of black
ones came breaking through the trees with
frantic cries, and threw themselves across
the creek and back again with amazing
energy; then hoarse sound made us turn
suddenly to meet the gaze of a fcealmost
human, with a long grey beard, which
was earnestly watching us through the
foliage of a withered tree bring gun TO
the shoulder, and the old mans head would
be seen to leap away upon the dispropor-
tionate body of some ape. But nothing
could equal in ludicrous interest, family
monkey scene taking place in some clear
spot at the base Of a tree. There, a respect
table papa might be seen seated against the
roots, overlooking the gambols of his child,
while with fond solicitude his better half,
graceful female monkey, was employed
turning aside the tufts Of grass, as if seek
ing for nuts or berries for the little one,
! then she would clutch the little rascal and
roll over with him in all the joyousness
of young mother, and he shrieked, pouted
and carcssed as any little boy might have
done the whole scene was a burlesque
upon human nature. Unable to con-
tain ourselves any longer, we burst into
roars of laughter The father leaped at
once on ncighboring branch, and shaking
it with rage, grinned at us through very
spiteful set of teeth the lady screamed ];
the baby squealed and jumped to her breast,
clapped its little arms round her neck, and
its legs around her chest, and then she was
off with bound, papa followed and cover
ing up her retreat with yenomous grins at
us, whom he evidently regarded as only a
superior breed of apes.-Quehah, by Capt.

A Hghwaynaan IhrdShed by Girl
As a peasant-girl named Melaine Robert,
daughter of a small farmer near Corbeil,
France, was proceeding to Essonnes, lately,
a man armed with a thick stick suddenly
presented himself and summoned her to
give up her money. Pretending to be
greatly alarmed, she hastily searched her
pocket, and collecting some small pieces
of coin, held them out to the man, who,
without distrust, approached to take them;
but the moment he took the money, Mel
aine made a sudden snatch at the stick,
and wrestling it from his hand, dealt him
so violent blow with it across the head
that she felled him to the ground. She
then gave him sound thrashing, and in
spite of his resistance, forced him to ac-
company her to the Commissary Police.
IF all the ladies would act as spiritedly
as Miss Melaine, they might safely walk
alone at night, and not compel ungallant
prumblers to escort them We don't know
however, that it is not better there are not
many Miss Melaines Husbands would
have hard time Of it; the wives who
now only use the tongue would use the
broomstick, and those who now flourish the
broomstick would get bolder and take to
the tongs.

THE COTTAGE HOME.

From John Bowers Couection-Air " Oh. susannah.'
dreamed dream the other night,
When all around was still;
thought my cottage white
Upon yon fiow'ry hill;
The grass-plat green before the door.
The porch with vines o'ergrown.
Were lovely as they were before,
When that cottage my own.
CHoRUs-0h, rumsellerl that home,
That home of thine,
That pleasant home, that happy home.
That cottage home was mine.
The gravel walks so white and straight,
With flower banks each side,
That led down the wicket gate,
Where Willie used to ride;
The IOcustS oer the path that grew.
The willow boughs that swayed,
Ali told me with tale most true,
That there my Mary played
The silver lake, SO calm and clear,
Along whose banks I've strayed,
So often with my Lucy dear,
To watch the sunlight fade
The pearly streams that sweety rum
The gardens foot along,
And murmuring fOunt as bright as they,
All sang the mournful song
The window toward the garden gate.
That looked out TO the west,
Where that loved being used to wait,
Who made my home so blest,
Was closed-the sombre curtain hung,
And loved form was there,
Nor voice the evening song that sung,
Or breathed the evening prayer.
Silence hung round that happy home,
Where once, 50 light and free
My laughing children used to come
And dance around my knee;
In SIN who was that homes delight.
In constant beauty shone
Around the cheerful hearthstone bright
Now all was still and lone.
Yes, that loved wife has gone to rest,
In death her heart is bound
Her babes are sleeping on her breast
Beneath yOn grassy mound;
And am wandering lone and strange,
No master of my will
Ny home, my happy home IS changed
TO a home behind the still
