-LaRpkEeRN. Mayla. 1852
McSsrs. Editors:-In my last | promised
to give an abstract of the different schools
in the town. We have seven schools be-
side the High School, at the centre of the
town. Pupils, four hundred and fifteen,
averaging sixty to the district. OF these
there were about three hundred and eigh-
ty enrolled. Average daily attendance,
throughout the town, two hundred and
seventy. Teachers employed, fourteen.
Average wages per month during the year,
sol, 90, including board at SC per month.
The money paid teachers, amounts to but
81 per month, TO each teacher employed.
Thus it is seen that of AIS children.
but go are really profted by the present
systemo of schools-scareely above one-half.
Our town has been favored with some of
the best teachers in the county-but one
teacher has been dismissed from his school
for incompetency during four years, and
that was the common cause of failures
want in governmental ability.
IN my next, l shall speak of the branch
es taught, &c, &c.
1 would just say that the looked-for-cx-
hibition is coming off on the evenings of
the 23d and 9th. Exercises commence
precisely at u P. N. The programmes
for the two evenings are entirely different.
VIZ cordially invite all to the exercises
We have sufficient and pleasant accom-
modations for over 500. Come one, come

quite a trade already. We hope our peo-
pie will by all means come and see the

The recent uniform successes of the I'm
ion Armies have had a bracing effect on
Government stocks and securities. US.
skies have advanced within a fortnight, S

The present abundance and cheapness
of money is well illustrated by the follow
ing extracts taken from tie New York
papers:
From the Tribune:
The deposits with Mr.. Cisco to-day for
) r ct. certificate reached the unprece-
dented sum of 81, 100000. If this influx
continues, the Secretary will find it his
policy to put the rate of interest down to
four 2 cent, at which, after a few DAYS.
he would get as large deposits as he now
does.
From the Herald:
The Secretary of the Treasury has di-
rected the different Sub-Treasuries and
Depositaries to receive no more tempora-
~ deposits at rates of interest exceeding
four per cent.
The World of the 18th says:
Money continues in excess Of the de-
'mand al three to five per cent, as the ex-
IRENE rates for call loans; the bulk of
transactions is at four per cent. Prime
endorsed notes are wanted at four TO five
per cent, and exceptional negotiations
have been made at three and a half per
cent.
Gold is inactive at 81 to 81 premium,
and the bear interest are sellers on time
at % premium.
Foreign exchange is inactive at 1l32 to
to ia for bankers sixty day sterling bills.
The met deposits" in the banks are
over Sl2l, 600, 900, showing an increase
since April Z, of $4,000 GOO, while the
commercial loans are increased only about
$1,000, 600. The specie is over $500 600.

pounds of powder in a handkerchief, nm

doing so, the miners lamp attached to his

explosion, burning the face and hands of
Taylor in a shocking manner, and severe

Another Steamboat.

Another steamboat built by Mr. Nor
gan GaskiI. for Mr.. Simon /. Abel, of
Rowland, made its appearance on the
Mahoning yesterday. steaming up and
down the river in fine style, with the
stars and stripes floating over it, and a
small cannon as chief spokesman. The
engine was built by E. G. Miller, of Nee
ca, and has one popularity, viz, it dispen-
ses with the eccentrise as ordinarily used.
Like its predecessor, built last winter,
this steamboat is to run on the Allegheny
river, between the Oil region and Pitts
