witnessed one Of those murders, became a
raving maniac, the Pro- Slavery, Journals

Gov. WfiEhs,s pnrchase or the Hum

The Philadelphia LedgerSays: II seems
to be pretty well understood that all the
collections of books, papers and specimens.
of every kind, made by Humboldt, and be-
longing 10 him at the time Of his death, are
likely to pass into the hand OF the Amcri-
can can Minister, Mr.. Wright, and lie brought
by him to this country. They were left by
the philosopher TO his valet, who has been
his personal attendant for years $50 il is
said) and Mr. Wright has offered sucir
price, that no one else about itseeins, has
an equal amount Of money TO spare, even TO
preserve to Prussia one of the most valuable
collections ever made in a scientific point oil
view.
TESTS not the FIRST thing of the kind at
tempted and carried through. A few years
ago Rochester University made a similar
purchase of the Acardar library. Ihe King
of Prussia looked at the library, and-lcas
desirous Of purchasing il for one ofthe p,ib-
lie collections of the State, 10 enable the
student OF ecclesiastical history in after
years, to trace out the sources of Neandera
assertions and opinions. But the price offer
ed by the American agent 10 ready money
was more than the King conla afford %
give anu
so the library now stands in the State Of New
York, in the University of Rochester. That
was soon after the revolutions Of fs45 had
impoverished 40 completely the governments
and kings Of the continent of Europe. Now
still more dangerous foe to their thrones
appears, and the treasures Of art and Science,
of nature and of literature, that formed the
most wonderful mind for its grasp on uni
versal knowledge, that the world has produc-
ed, abont TO be transferred from Europe to
this country, while Prussia Is using the
money to mobilize her army, - n
The sum offered is said to be about thirty
five thousand dollars. Whether Mr. Wright
offers this from himself, OF, as is more prob
able, from some body OF. gentlemen or pub
lie institution in this country, we can not
say but it is supposed that nerr, SO poor
are MI the public and priyatn institutions OF
Tearing in the Old World, they will hardly
be able to TO compete, aud the ready money
will purchase the collection to this country.

school Trustee

At the meeting of the Council on Satur-
day evening, Mr.. II. Q. Wheeler rendered to
that body his resignation as School Trustee.
A committee was appointed to request Mr..
Wheeler TO reconsider the matter and to
continue his Invaluable services to the city.
The voice of the citizens is unanimous with
that of the Council, in its wish that he
shall neutrality-suspicious. the schools that
he has been 60 active in establishing and
bringing to their present state Of eff
cheney. There is no othec person in the
community so peculiarly qualified for the
trust "a Mr.. Wheeler, and his withdrawal
will be a serious injury 70 the Gauge of pub
lie education here. Onward--progress-
further improvement in the schools, is now
the demand of the public; retrogradation,
even temporarily, would seriously impair
the public spirit that now sustains them
Wehope Mr.. Wheeler will disregard all per-
sonal considerations and yield to the public
solicitation to prolong his superintendent Of
public education. Mr.. W. has served the
public faithfully and gratuitously for six
years. The Office 10 one Of perpetually re-
curing annoyances; every case of disei-
pine in every department of the schools is
reviewed by him. He is umpire between
teachers and the over indulgent parents; and
the chief reason for relinquishing his post,
is the ve1stious and injadicious interference
of friends with the rules and discipline Of
the schools, and the little aid and sympathy
which both teachers and superintendent re-
ceive from parents and citizens in maintain
ing an efficient government of the schools.
The strongest inducements which those who
have the prosperity of the schools at heart,
can give to the superintendent TO re-assume
his duties, is TO assure him of their hearty
cooperation in maintaining his authority
by giving him their moral support We
have heard of citizens, who, instead of sus-
tanning the authority of teachers and super.
intendcnt nave tried TO stimulate ignorant
and excited parents, to bring suits against
both for inficting proper punishment upon
unruly children, whose evil habits were the
result Of improper management at home
Instances Of this kind have occurred viii
men whose duty was the reverse of Their
acts. ........

Tux FIRST TEMPERANCE SocHTY.--lt has
been question of interest among writers on
temperance as to when, where, and by whom
the hrSt temperance society was organized.
twas pretty generally agreed that it MAS at
Moreau, New York, in 1903, by DR.. Clark
and the Rev. Mr.. Armstrong. IL is SO stated
in Appleten's new encyclopedias, in an article
on Total Abstinence written by Mr.. Gree

established three years earlier, lS05) at Al

The above Is mistake. The first ten.
