GopEY's LADY's BooK.-The June number
of this excellent monthly reached us in time,
but the notice forgotten in the excite
ment OF the times. We presume, the ''Book"
has lost none of its interest by this delay, as it
is still the great favorite of the ladies through
out the land, and is increasing in popularity
every day.
A RUS Orion last Saturday, four horses
attached to a wagon belonging to Mr.. Hugh
Gallaher of Indiana county, became frighten
ed whilst standing in the street in this place,
and ran away. After running around several
squares at the top of their speed, they were
brought to halt by coming in contact with a
tree, having during their perambulations sue
oeeded in breaking the hind axle of the wagon
and tearing the gears considerable.
IMPORTANT TO TEAcHERs.-It is officially an
nounced by the head of the School Depart
ment that 'sCounty Superintendents are in
s.ructed to grant no certificates after the first
Monday in June, 1861, without an eXanina-
tion into the theory as we'll as the practice of
teaching and to mark the proficiency in both
in the certificate, according to the same scale
(from one to five) with other branches" Por-
fciency in the theory is to be tested by exami-
nation and skill in the practice by observa-
iion in the school room.

appended thereto. This company was form
ed in Curwensyille, on the first call far volan-
teers, and at once proceeded to Camp Curtin.
Last week they received into the regu-
lar service on the years requisition, aud will
probably be sent to the camp at Cham bersburg.
At meeting of the Raftsmen Rangers, held
May S0th 1861, the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted without dissenting
voice Whereas, deem it but justice to
those having authority over us, as we'll as to
