Laws of Divorce.

We have thirty-two States, and there
arc almost as many different laws of di,
vorcc as there arc States. The reader
may see some of these differences by the
following statement:
l. In the State of Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi, two thirds of the Legis-
lature must concur with decision BY the
Court to make divorce.
2. 10 Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
South Carolina, Louisiana and Missouri
no divorce can be granted, but by espec-
ial act of the Legislature, and South Car.
olina has never granted divorce.
3. In the State of Connecticut, Ohio
and Illinois, all divorces are total.
A. In Massachusetts,, New York and
North Carolina, nothing but adultery is
cause of divorce.
5. In Illinois. two years absence, on.
ly. is a cause of divorce.
6. In Indiana, we believe, anything is
q cause, in the discretion of the Court.

The average attendance has been for
the last few days very materially reduced
The cause of this We presume is indica-
ted partly by the hight at which the mer-
curry has stood of late. and partly by the
near approach of that annual jubilee of
American boys,-the Fourth of July
Those who attend regularly are making
laudable progress in their studies, and
notwithsts nding the veyy con1mendaJle and
highly appreciated efforts which have been
sde in a certain inteNigcmtC) quarter,
to the contrary, We are happy to state
that the school is in good state Of disci-
pline. This degree of dicipline, it is the
intention of the Principal, SO long as he
is CONNECTED with the institution, to main
tain; and he is confident that all citizens
whose opinions or whose respect are Of
any account, will countenance and sustain
him in the course be has taken. He new
er has, and never intends to punish a
child in manner disproportionate to the
offence, but when be is certain that a
child needs correction, he will not hesitate
to bestow it, even though exasperatcd
papas seek redress at the hands Of the
Constable. To those tender hearted pa
rents who consider their children too
good to be whipped, he would respectfully
recommend that they administer dose
of chloroform before chastisement, as it
may render them oblivious to the pain.
We regret that so few parents and
others, can fud time to visit us occasion.

is making. We are aware that to most
of our patrons this is perhaps an uDusu-
ally busy season of the year, but, it af
fords great encouragement to the children
to have their parents manifest interest in
their studies, aud to receive occasional
visits from them. Call frequently and in,

MEETING At THE COURT HOUSE.

a meeting convened at the Court House,
in this place, on Wednesday evening last.
10 take into consideration the propriety
of repudiating the Spanish Coin. MIR,
Samuel McIiek was appointed President,
and Charles NJ Price, Secretary. The
attendance was quito respectable, though
opinions we're divided. The first motion
in relation to business, was an adjourn
ment "Sine dSne," though some had come
there, evidently stuffed to the neck With
speeches and bile, which we're intended
to accelerate the passage of the dilapida-
ted coin to the shades of some other pla-
ces than those of our store keepers pock-
cts and tils. We should say, udging
from the voice of the meeting, that the
love for the "SiIer' had not yet died out
in our midst. After some remarks upon
the subject, the meeting finally adjourned
to meet again on Friday evening next,
the 23d inst.
All interested are respectfully invited
to attend.

Primary Department.

In company with the County Superin-
tendant | have visited the different Pri.
mary Schools once during the past month
The average attendance at the three
schools comprised in this department is
ll2, although the whole nun Der of nam es
registered amount to many more than
that. The same causes which affect the
attendance in the Upper Department,
lessen the average in this; although in
some eases slight inconsistency appears,
from the fact, that although it is too warm
for the children to go to school, it is not
to warm for them to play in the streets
If parents would but submit to tie
wishes Of Directors and allow their chill
dren to be properly graded, according to
the original design, it would be a very
great advantage. One of the primary
schools, should receive the phabet schol-
ars, who are sufficiently numerous to
form school by themselves; then let the
school of the second grade receive then
from the first, and put them through the
First Reader, and let the third take them
from the second, and take up the Second
Reader, together with Writing, Arithme
tic and Geography. There would be or
der and system in that, and each teacher
by having particular part assigned her,
could devote her exclusive attention to
that one subject, instead of having it dis.
tracted by dozen. One man by giving
undivided attention to the art of working
up leather, becomes good shoemaker,
another BY pursuing the same course with
ron, becomes good blacksmith, and an
other by long practice, becomes a tailor
but let one man undertake to dabble
little with leather, little with iron, lit.
lie with cloth, and be is an extraordinary
man if finally be becomes good for sny.
thing. It is somewhat so with school
'eachiug, and although we believe that
he schools are advancing as well as is
possible, andt the teachers are doing all that
luman nature can do under the present
tate OF things, yet a change in the very
doubtful policy Of sending children pro.
niscuou-ly to the nearest school, would
esult very advautageously to the chill,
Iren and very satisfactorily to every body

How to Detect Counterfeit Notes.

Peterson's Counterfeit Detector for Ju-
ly, gives the following rules. careful OBJ.
seryation of which, will prevent persons
from being imposed upon by counterfeit
notes, in nearly all cases.
l. If you have suspicious looking note
examine it we'll.
2. All genuine bank notes, excepting ol
few old fogy institutions, are engraved
by the best artists in the country, and
have bold and neat appearance, and
excepting in few cases, are printed upon
good paper.
3. The faces, if any, have lifelike ex-
preston; and the eyes and small object,
of the picture are perfect.
A. The drapery of the figures, the land
scapes, trees, horses, cattle, chips, steam.
boats and the various emblems of the al.
legorcal figures are always correct.
5. The medallion ruling on the scrolls
ovals. figures and ornaments, are regular
smooth and of uniform appearance on
every part of the note where used.
6. The principal lines of the large let.
ters in the name of the bank, are gener.
ally upright, and perfectly true and even
in every part.
Z. The round hand writing engraved
on the body of the bill, should be equal
in size and distance, and of uniform
character all over the note.
s. A counterfeit note has Invariably a
rough unfinished appearance. the paper
is generally of an inferior quality, the
sky, landscape, and general perspective
of the pictures have an incorrect and mis-
erabe appearance, the lettering has an
uneven aud careless finish, and the round
band engraving throughout the note is
rarely, if ever uniform.
9. One of the surest tests of counter.
felt note is the signature of the president
and cashier, which if even of bold char.
acter, still have tremulous appearance
CouDterfeiters seldom copy signature
without some inperfection that can be
detected by careful examination.
10. Counterfeters, unable to "sbove'
off counterfeit; or bogus banks as readily
as in days gone by, have turned their
attention to the altering of 81 notes to
s5s, los, 2Os, and lOos, and as the many
new discoveries in chemistry, have open
ed fresh avenues to means by which print
ing and writing ink can be extracted
they have within the past few months al
tered great many bills, and in such an
artistic manner that even bank officers
and brokers' have been deceived.
IL. The safest plan is to examine care
fully all notes Of large denomination,
and refuse them altogether if you have
any doubt as to their being genuine.

A Human Ratter.

In Cincinnati, last week, wager was
made by Scotchman that be could kill
twelve rats, in regular dog fashion, in less
time than Scotch terrier, famous for the
destruction of the noxious yermin. The
man and the dog were placed in the ring,
aud both went to work energetically and
brayely. The human creature would
snatch up the rats in his bands, and blt-
ing them across the neck and spine, pre-
cisely as the terrier, kill them at once
Both did well, but the man killed his
twelfth rat just as the dog had finished his
tenth. When the Scotcbman came ous
of the ring be was covered with blood,
and his hands were bitten in various pla-
ces, but be seemed to care nothing for his
wounds, after obtaining triumph over .
dog.
