You. Why, sir. one of the gentlemen
who spoke at the Douglas meeting
here on Saturday night. in front Of
the Depaw Huuss. stated as his belief
that Lincoln would carry the State

bis-Decistom Of Hon. Jndgs Tayyor.
The complaint contained in the petition OF
O number of citizens of the Borough of Hun
tingdon. against the Board of School Directors
and praying for their removal on the ground
that a teacher had been employed TO take
charge of one of the public schools, who had
received certificate from the County Super.
intendent, was heard on Wednesday last, the
day fixed for that purpose by the Court. After
the hearing, one of the counsel of the Board
requested as early decision as possible, since
he said, the opening of the schools had been
deferred until the controversy had been set
tied. Judge Taylor, stating that the Judges
had no doubt or difficulty respecting any ques-
ton involved in this, proceeded to deliver the
opinion of the Court, substantially as follows
1t is the duty of the County Superntend-
eut, as the Common School system of PeDnsyl-
vana is now organized, to examine those who
desire to be employed as teachers, and to give
to each one found qualified, " certificate set
ting forth the branches Of learning be or she is
capable of teaching )" and the Act of Assem-
bly expressly declares that " no teacher shall
be employed in any school to teach other BRAN
ches than those set forth in such certificate" :"
No teacher can lawfully be employed at all,
who has not a certificate nor can any one be
,.,un;oveU to teach other branches than those
cet forth in such certificate. Subject to this
limit. however, aud within it, the School Dire.
ctors may exercise discretion with which no.
body has any right to interfere, and for which
they are only answerable to the people who
elect him. But if they exceed their limit, and
violate plain and express provision ofthe law
by employing incompetent Teachers" or in
other words, teachers who have not received
certificates from the County Superintendent, Oh
to teach branches which such certificates dc
not show them to be qualified to teach, it be
comes the duty of the State Superintendent
(Act of Assembly, Sec. 38.) to Withhold any
warrant for the quota of such district of the
annual State appropriation :" and such neglect
or refusal to employ competent teachers persis
ted in for a month, such district shall forfeit
absolutely its whole quota of the State appro
pration for that year." This is the GROUND
and reason of complaint against these directors
and upon which their removal and the appoint
ment of Others in their places, IS sought,
The 9th section of the Act of Assembly pro
Vides that if all the members of any Board
OF Directovt shall refuse or neglect to perform
their duties by levying the tax required by law

How TO ENJOY ToCTHACHE.-To enjoy this
deectable pain to its fullest extent, you should
have it in all its glory for about week. Let
the pain permeate and insinuate into every
portion of the body, racing, jumping and
spriDging around generally like rats in corn

the pain is in your mouth on the top of your
head, or in your cravat, but rather think it is
around there let it ache until you feel like it
would be great relief to hold up your head
by the ears and shake oHt every molar, incisor,
grinder, and acher in it let it ache until you
are doubtful whether you stand in the position
that nature assigned you, or with your heels
in the air let it ache until you seriously be-
lieve that every bone, nerve and muscle of
your body is full of teeth, and that every tooth
is aching on its own hook, and then, when you
have enough pain to fit out an hospital-when
you feel like kicking yourself down stairs
when you are exceedingly anxious to fall down
somewhere and break your neck-then, we re
peat you will begin to realize the toothache.
