HERESY INAS SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

The Cambridge, Mass, Chronicle says
An honest hearted Catholic called upon
a member of the School Committee recent
ly, to prefer charges against the Cambridge
School syst EN-, as possessing heretical ten
dencies. The Committeeman, member of
the clerical profession by the way, blandly
desired his visitor to be seated, and place
his charge in due form. This process oc-
cupied about an hour, during which the
respective merits of the Douey and King
James version of the holy scriptures were
duly canvassed. The principal point of OBJ
lection brought forward by the parent was
this: that his boy was obliged to repeat
daily in school. '0n these two command
ments hang all the law and the prophets.
1t was deadly sin to say that all the holy
prophets were to be hung. All the logic
and acumen of the School Committeeman
were of no avail in changing the views of
the visitor, who finally left, agreeing to let
this boy remain in school, but each night
he should require him to pray that the
Holy Virgin would protect him from the
heresy of the Protestants.

They were living in Richmond street up

Ihey were living IN Richmond street up
to the time of the tragedy which has re-
vived the whole history of this signal per-
son. Harry Stokes appeared latterly to be
falling into decayed circumstances, and the
fear of poverty is believed to have induced
him to commit suicide. On Friday eve
ming the deceased went to the Swan public
house, PendletOn, and after drinking four
glasses of ale, he left for the purpose of
proceeding. as he stated, to Throstle Nest.
In the morning hat was found on the top
of the water in the sluice of the river Ir-
we'll, Mode Wheel, and on examination
the body of a man was found standing up
right in the water At the inquest before
Mr.. Coroner Rutter, on Saturday, the body
was identified as that of Harry Stokes,
the well-known master-bricksettcr of Sal
ford; and it would probably have been bur-
led in its clothes as it was, and the secret
of the poor, courageous, hard working Har-
riet Stokes would thus have been buried
with her, had not enc of the jury been ac-
quainted with a portion of his history
He mentioned his suspicion that the de-
ceased was woman and not man, and
two women who were sent by the Coroner
to solve the mystery returned tittering into
the Court with the information that, true
enough, the body in the mans clothes was
that of a perfect woman, and no man. She
was very full-breastcd. but the shape of
her wOmanly make was distorted by broad
strap which buckled round her body under
the arms.
There is something of grandeur after
all in the character of that strange woman.
She has left mementOes of her industry and
skill all over Manchester, and in many
places in Stafford. She was very clever in
the erection of tall chimneys, and some of
the highest in Manchester have been Who'll
ly or partially constructed under her su-
perintendence; she has built churches, chap
els, and extensive blocks of dwelling houses.
In the days of the Chartist riots she was
sworn as a special constable, and was made
captain of her company. Her industry and
skill at one time placed her in very COM
Portable circumstances, and there are per-
sons who are now esteemed among the fore
most men in Manchester, who have been
at the roaring suppers given by
Harry Stokes

THE CAPTIVE.
BY LIZZIE G. BErBE.

Loi an eagle is caught, they have Gagged, they
have bound him.
sweep of his wings;
But despite the strong chains, and the guards
that surround him,
His clear voice, like the blast of a trumpet,
still sings.
They may soil his dark plumage. but ne 'er can
imprison,
The pure soul that has battled for freedom
so long.
They will waken to find that the bird has
arisen,
They will tremble to hear the clear notes of
his song.
All his voice was but low in his nest on the
mountain,
Yet though now he is Gagged, it sings out
loud and clear,
1t sings out like the burst of an unfettered
fountain,
Like the soar of a tempest it strikes on the
ear.
And his song will be heard even down through
the ages;
They may pour out his blood, but twill cry
from the sod
And when history writes it, twill read from
her pages,
That resistance to tyrants, is obedience to
God"

THE CHESS BOARD.

1t is related of the inventor of the game
of chess that on being promised by the king
whom he first taught the game, that he
should have any reward he might ask for.
meekly replied that he would be content if
the king would give him one kernel of wheat
on the first square, two on the second, four
on the third, eight on the fourth, and so on
doubling up to the sixty-fourth square. The
king gladly acceded to this seemingly modest
request, and ordered his attendants to bring
in the wheat, which they began to dO-but
to the astoniShment of tn: monarch it was
found that there was not wheat enough, and
never had been enough, in his dominions, to
pay off the crafty inventor. A correspondent
who has been figuring on it, says that, to
fulfil the kings promise, it would take thirty
trillions, twenty-seven billions. ninety
seven millions. one hundred and eighty
four thousand, four hundred and eighty-fve
bushels of wheat-allowing 100000 kerrels
to the bushel This would cover the States
of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Delaware all owe with wheat to the of a
dept hmile and quarter Were the kernels
laid together, end to end, they would reach
two billions, three hundred and twenty
seven millions, eight hundred and ten thous-
and, three hundred and ninety-two times
around the earth. Here is the exact number
of kernels the chess inventor asked for
9,627 PCS, 7S6, ,934, ,775, ,16S!

WHY S0WS DESTROY THEIR
YOUNG.

A writer in the Homestead gives an ar
ticle on this subject, in which he argues
very cOnclusively that ''costiveness and its
accompanying evils are the main causes of
destroying their young-and proper food is
the preventative and cure" He says, and
the fact is patent to thousands of pig rails
ers, that sows never eat their pigs when
running at large, with plenty of green food
as in autumn, but with hardly any excep-
ton, sows ittering early in the spring are
troubled with costiveness, often very severe
ly. This causes extreme restlessness, Of
ten almost frenzy, and the pains of labor
increase it until they destroy their young
or any other living thing within their pow
er. ''Green food is the cure" If sows
are confined in pens at any season, and
especially in early spring, they should have
daily supply Of green food for some weeks
before littering. Potatoes. sugar beets,
carrots, parsnips, and such like, are excel
lent-and half peck per day is amply suf-
fcient. If no roots are to be had, sulphur
"a table spoonful two or three times a
week-may be given in their usual food,
and charcoal is beneficial. Sows should
not be moved about from pen to pen at this
time, as it disturbs and irritates them
they should be put by themselves at least
month before littering, and used at all
times with kindness and due attention to
their comfort. Corn cob meal, or corn un-
ground, is bad food alone for sows heavy
with young. Sour milk, kitchen slop and
vegetable food should be given with it, and
for all swine it is to be preferred. In
summer, with good clover pasture, pigs will
do well without grain, and every farmer
should provide a proper pasture for his
swine. We have before stated that sows
could be prevented from destroying their
young, by giving them rum sufficient to
make them tipsy after littering The pre-
ventive of green food would be far better
for the animal, as well as of permanent
benefit. Sometimes sows refuse to own
their young acting perfectly Indifferent to
their welfare. We have found this readily
overcome by holding the SOW, and allowing
the pigs to suck once-after which she gave
no further trouble.

WHIPPLE ON GRIT

'Heroism materialized,' is capital def
milton of grit, and with that commenced his
recent lecture on the subject. In brief
report in the Courier we read: 'Of the va
rious types of this grain of character he
gave the numerous illustrations, speaking
of that which, slashing through all propri-
ety. and telling only plain and honest
truth, was termed impOlite and ungenteel,
of that which became at once great social
power. As to the Importance of this quail
ity in the business relations of life, he af-
firmed that the perfection of the trait in
this field was to be found in the power of
saying no! under any and all circumstan-
ees. The iron-like tenacity of the man of
grit holds on to the successful end. Inre-
gard to public life and the Importance of
this quality in politics, it was well known
that backbone without brains was stronger
than brains without backbone, and the
motto of political life-instead of being
either measures. not men, or men, net
measures-should be measures IN men
in speaking of John C Calhoun. he ex-
pressed the belief that that eminent states
man had stamped his individual mind upon
the policy of our government more definite
ly than any man since Hamilton. He was
man whose audacity walked abreast with
bis genius. He was ever ready to meet
opponents in argument, and effected rev.
Olution in the mind of the South as remark
able as it was beneficial The speaker
thus proceeded at considerable length in
his high and eloquent estimate of grit, as
exhibited in all positions and conditions of
life, and throughout commanded the close
attention and interest of his auditors

BROTHER JONATHAN,

The origin of this term, asappiea to the
United States, IS as fellows. When Gen.
eral Washington, after being appointed
commander Of the army of the Revolution
ary war, fouEd great want of ammuni-
ton and sther means of defense, and on one
occasion it seemed that no means could be
devised for the necessary safety. Jonathan
Trumbull, the elder, was then Governor of
the State Of Connecticut; and the General.
placing the greatest reliance on his excel
lency' sjudgment, remarked, we must con-
suit Brother Jonathan on the subject. =
The General did so, and the Governor was
successful in supplying many of the wants
of the army; and thenceforward when diff
fculties arose, and the army was spread
over the country, it became by-phrase,
we must consult Brother Jonathan and
the name has now become adesignation for
the whole country, as John Bull has for
England.

kerchief around his throat His step was
unsteady, and was satisfied that the pop
ular author who has delighted 50 many

so many pleasant and useful books, cannot

WEBSTER AND CRocKEr-No two char
acters could be more dissimilar than those
of Webster and Crockett One had penne-
trated to the prOfoundest depths of law,
craftsmanship and diplomacy. The other
had penetrated the profoundest depths of
the forest, and was passionate lover of
its wild delights. Crockett paid Webster
compliment that both pleased and anus
cd him. 1t is related that when his cele-
brated speech on Foot's resolutions was
published, he sent copy of it to Davy
CrOcket. Shortly afterwards Davy called
upon him to make his acknowledgements
for the favOr-remarking that it was the
only speech that he had ever been able to
read without the aid Of the dictionary
Mr.. Webster, it is said, frequently remark
ed, that, althO', perhaps. a compliment
was not intended, none was ever bestowed
upon him that he valued so highly.

A WORD TO BoYs.-YOu were made to
be kind and generous If there is a boy at
school who has a club foot, don't let
him know you ever saw it. If there is
boy with ragged cloths, don't talk about
rags in his hearing. If there is lame boy
assign him to some part of the game which
does not require running. If there is a
hungry one, give him part of your dinner.
If there is dull one. help him to get his
lesson. If larger or stronger boy has in
jured you, forgive him, and request the
teacher not to punish him. All the school
will show by their countenances, how much
better it is to have great soul than a
great fist.

LARGEST CLASS ON RECORD.

The ". Y. Times says The examina-
ton of applicants for admission to the
Freshman Glass of Yale College has con-
cluded. The number of applicants has been
larger than ever before, about one hundred
and ninety having been examined. The
new Freshman class will therefore be the
largest ever admitted to Yale, which Col
lege has the largest number of students of
any in the United States. A large num-
Der has also been admitted to the other
classes, many of whom are from the South
ern and Western Colleges.
Last year, there were forty-four students
expelled from Yale College. for violating
the college laws and failing in their exami-
uationa. Candidates for admission to the
Freshman Class are examined in Geogra-
ply, English Grammar, the first two books
of Playfair's Euclid, ThompsOn's Higher
Arithmetic, Days Algebra, to Quadratic
Equations, Andrews Latin Grammar,
Eneid of Virgil, Latin Prosody. Sallust,
Ciccro's Select Orations, Arnold's Latin
Prose Composition, Crosby's Greek Gram
mar, Jacobs Greek Reader and Xenophon's
Anabisis.
Each Class in College has three daily
recitations, and the Freshmen class is di-
vided into divisions of twenty-five each, so
that each member of the class recites as of
ten as they generally desire. Besides the
recitatiOns Of each class, there are six dali
ly lectures delivered by the Professors, three
of which are to the Senior Class.
Yale has always large number of stu
dents from the Southern States; Calhoun.
Clayton, Badger, Thomas Marshall, Cas-
sius NJ. Clay were graduates of Yale, from
the South. And this fall the South is
largely represented at Yale. Considering
the scathing letter which Prof Silliman
wrote to President Buchanan, and the An
ti-slavery position which Professor Olmsted,
Dutton. Dana and other Professors, Of
Yale, have taken, we would think that the
South would Withhold her patronage from
Yale, but it appears not to he the result.
