continued, but all Ann Arbor was plunged in
deepest grief 1t WIS said by an 1u.natursd
stranger stopping there, that the place was
threatened BY famine unless speedily relieved
He WAS not scientific man, however, and

ton Of the route. The academy was plunged
into meditation. Its wives aud sisters we're

nIlR COMMON SCHOOLS.

The UNION ScHooL-HoUsE OF BEDFoRD.-
The school is now open for the short term OF
two months. This is by permission of special
act of Assembly. The house itself IS model
one. In its construction and adaptation, there
appears to be union of several ofthe latest and
more approved plans, which are admirably a.
dapted 10 the purposes at graded school.
Both N ITS external and internal structure, these
plans appear 10 be so happily united as to pro-
duce pleasing effect upon the eye, and be sat
isfying to the taste of the stranger. No pains
have been spared by The Directors, to have every
thing in and about the house, adapted 10 the
health, convenience, comfort and Improvement
of the pupils. The school opened on the 9th
of last month, under the superlntendendency Of
gentleman lately from Lancaster county, a
graduate of the Mllerstown Normal school,
who came we'll recommended as teacher of the
first class. He is assisted by three young ladies
of our town known as teachers in our schools
for several years past. 1t may be possible that
the Directors will be obliged TO add one or two
more teachers TO the number already employed,
in order TO give the proper time and attention
to the large number of classes that will neces-
sarIly be formed. A formal opening OF the
school was held on Friday eVening'the 18th ut.
large audience was present on the occasion,
entirely filling up the capacious hall IN the bull
ding. Mr.. Dickerson, the principal of the
school, first made some very appropriate re-
marks TO the parents, on the relation in which
he stands to them and their children, and the
duties they and their children owe to him and
the school. The Hon. II. C. Hickok, State
Superintendent, who was invited TO be present
| on the occasion, then delightfully."- entertained
the audience for two hours, with an appropri-
ate and instructive address, delivered IN bis u
sual happy and pleasing manner.
The school is now open under hattering cir
cumstances, and the prospects bid fair to meet
even the most sanguine expectations of is war
NEST friends. Bedford borough is no longer to
stand IN the rear of the educational interests
of our county, and allow Bedford township,
Middle and South Woodberry, East Providence,
st. Clair and some other townships to lead.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVEN-
TI0N.

Want Of space precludes US from referring at
length TO the proceedings of the Democratic
State Convention, which assembled at Reading
on the 29th ultimo. We can only say to our
readers that it was the largest, as it was the
most harmonious, Convention ever held in
Pennsylvania, and that the platform adopted
and the nomination made, will be endorsed by
an overwhelming majority of the voters of the
state in October next. We are now, thank
God united Democracy, and the "cloUds that
lowered upon our house are in the deep bosom
of the ocean buried" Under the leadership of
HENRY D. FOSTER, the ''Star of the West,''
the Democratic column will march forward to
certain victory. For full report of the pro-
ceedings of the Convention, we refer our rea-
ders to another column.

tortures OF It's own cbastisement, and the germ
OF speedy destruction in the fearful retribution
of loss Of memory, bankrupt constitution, swift
