The second department., in charge
of Mrs. Munson is pretty sight any
one witnessing the performances there
in, must be satisfied that the children
are in charge of no ordinary instruc
tors. The remarks above may vel
and deservedly be applied to this por
ton of the school SO far as the scholars
are advanced in science. The ordel
and arrangements are perfect.
But the juveniles SO in number, un
der the care of Miss Jones. How
agreeably surprised on entering the
room. Here is Young America .
Each child seated in its own comforta
BILE nice little chair, affords a sight not
to be forgotten. How the teacher car
command the attention of such mum
Der of mere children is inexplicable
yet such is the fact. Every counte
nance animated and cheerful and suf
fused with smiles, yet excellent order
prevails; not a dull eye among this
large number. The teacher merits the
confidence of the parents of every
child under her charge.
In their reading and spelling, and
many of them in easy lessons of mental
arithmetic and geography, all are ami
mated and spirited. One beholdine
such scene might wish himself child
that he too might participate in its de.
lights.
The services of such teachers ara
above all price. The opening exercises
in the morning when all the depart.
ments meet in the room of the principal
are truly pleasing and interesting.
Reading the Scriptures by the principal,
singing by the scholars, followed by a
brief prayer by the principal and closed
by singing; are the means used to call
home the thoughts and qualify them to
engage in the exercises of the day.
Each department preceded by its in.
structor than leave for their respective
rooms without confusion and the labors
of the day commences.

is of priceless value to your children.
The cost to you is trifing, while to
them it is the richest legacy you can
bestow upon them.
A few dollars expended in the pur-
chase of pair of globes and set OF
astronomical outline maps would
greatly facilitate the comprehension o.
the science of the Heavens and the
form, motions and divisions of oul
earth.
To the kindness and politeness of the
teachers return many thanks, and to
the scholars my best wish for their flu
ture honor and happiness.

The County Fair.

We publish in the present issue the
list of premiums to be awarded by our
County Agricultural Society this Fall,
together with the Rules and Regula-
tons that have been adopted by the
Society. We understand that the
members of the society are making am
pie arrangements for the exhibition,
determined that it shall surpass its pre-
decessors in merit and interest, and if
our farmers, and others, will contribute
their proportion TO the next Fair, by
being present, and bringing with them
their best specimens Of stock, agricul-
tural productions, and handicraft, it
may be rendered source of much
good to the County at large. There is
not a farmer in the county but what
can raise something, the presence of
which, would add to the utility and iu-
terest of the occasion. You may not
receive premium-that is immateri-
al-you will at least evince your in
terest in the society, and add to the
extent and variety of the display. If
there is not good Fair, of course the
fault lies to great extent, with those
who have articles suitable to place on
exhibition, but refuse to contribute,
with their influence, towards its sue
cess. 1t is the duty of every COM
munity, to interest itself in these an
nual festivals, both for the farmers
and mechanics interest. And we hope
that every town in the County will
place on exhibition this Fall some arti-
cles of it's thrift and industry. By such
a course this year, the Treasury of the
Society will be filled so that large pre-
miums can be offered, thereby increas-
ing the value of stock, and the public
interest, from year to year.

THUNDER SToRM.-There was very
severe thunder storm at New Y DIRK city
Thursday afternoon. 1t lasted nearly
two hours. Considerable damage was
done in various parts of the City, but
nothing of very serious nature. The
iagstaffs of the Bowery Theatre and
the st. Nicholas Hotel were shattered
into splinters by the lightning, one OF
the large trees in the Park was pros
trated, and the ailanthuses lost good
many of their limbs and good deal Of
their foliage. 1t had been one of the
hottest, sultriest, and most willing days
of the season. Two valuable horses
were killed by the lightning, one III
Broadway, and one standing near the
Everett house. sense : sgss

We have before this, suggested
to our readers that they may do much
towards assisting us in building up a
good paper in this place, of which every
citizen may be proud. Since We start
ed this paper, we have used all the
means in our power; have labored
hard have made pecuniary sacrifices,
for the sake of presenting our patrons
a paper worthy of their perusal and
entitled to their support. Some of our
friends have rendered us valuable aid
in different ways, for which we tender
our hearty thanks. But we ask for
more than we have received.
The time is drawing near when
every citizen is to be marshalled upon
one side or the other in contest of
national politics. Already are set in
operation influences that are to operate
in the decision Of this national struggle.
Every citizen, and especially every Re-
publican. should be prepared to act
intelligently. We wish to make our
paper complete medium of intelli-
gence to every Republican in this
County. We can do this. But in or
der to do it, we want, at least, 1000
subscribers. If we can secure this
number we can devote more space to
political matters, as well as to general
intelligence. And we have confidence
enough in our political friends to be-
lieve that what we desire will be &C
complished. Ask your neighbors to
subscribe. Tell them of the import
ance of supporting the County paper.
If you don't succeed at first, Try
again" And we pledge ourselves,
that we will expend every dollar we
may receive from any number of sub
scribers, above our actual expenses, in
improving the paper. Who sends US
the largest list?

How it Retrenches.

Ninety five heads tumbled from their
official pedestals into the offal basket
of the Administration, the other day,
at the New York Custom House. 1t
may be query whether there was pre-
viously any necessity for the employ
ment of all that force at an expense of
over 100000 per annum. That is q
large retrenchment for single Custom
House, and, if the work can be done
by ninety five hands less than have
been heretofore employed, for what
purpose were the supernumeraries
kept, unless to provide places for parti-
sans, or to reward partisan services !?
But there is another curious look
about this official retrench uent.
About one half the names of the per-
sons thus summarily cut off from Adj
ministration pap, betray foreign ex-
traction. Does any body know how
many of them are naturalized citizens,
or persons of foreign birth? How
does it happen that in this reform
movement" of the Administration, the
first and heaviest blows fall on the for
eign born "patriot ?" Is the Admin
istration about to ignore naturalized
citizenship at home as wall as abroad?

men who might otherwise die on their
carts on the highway for want of shell
ter. The hospital and churches of
Castiglione are reserved for the wound
ed officers and the men on whom sur
gical operations are to be performed,
especially the amputated.
The medical officers expressed sur
prise at the disproportion of men who
were brought from the field with
wounds of the arms and legs, and in
fact we observed this singularity among
the wounded. But then, it must be
recollected that it is only wounds of
the circumference that are not fatal,
and that those OF the chest and abdo-
men generally remain on the held.
The-mos horrible wounds to ..ook at,
however, were those of the face. Two
Zouaves of the first regiment had the
whole under jaw carried away, and
yet these brave fellows walked behind
the carts Of their comrades, more dan
gerously wounded than themselves.
Some bad their eyes closedfrom blows
with the but Of the muskets. Others
had their cheeks or mouth hanging in
ldns6eastr from the sword cuts, others
the cheeks swollen to enormous dimen
sions from balls that had pierced theil
faces through and through.

their am6uzance in the house Is which
we had placed our carriages far safety

were wounded near the Emperor, and

clean and well ventilated. The high
err department under the immediate
charge of Mr.. Munson is most admira-
bly, conducted. Such is the arrange
ment that iE all the classes, each schol-
ar performs his part in the exercises
and at the same time acts as mon
itor and check upon the performance
of his fellows; or that, the attention
of each scholar is alike fixed upon each
word in the lesson, whether read or
recited by himself or by any other one
in the class. The necessary corrections
being made by the scholars. This
principle runs through all the depart
ments and operates to the advantage OF
all alike. The classes in the higher
branches of arithmetic and Latin schol-
ars recites in the morning before the
school opens. The classes in Algebra
show an understanding of its principles
and in the solution of problems in the
first and second degree fair progress
and a readiness rarely equalled by
learners.
The classes in arithmetic both writ
ten and mental, sustained excellent ex-
aminations. Olso the classes In geog-
raphy acquitted themselves most credit
ably, reading the outline maps with
great precision and readiness. Classes
in other branches are equally deserving
praise. No scholar can be member
of this department and not learn. He
