FRIDAY, April 10.
Our Democratic friends, fellow citizens,
and sojourners, in the Hon. the House Of
Reps. of this great and gel orious State Of
Penn'a, are in pickle. One Of its genus
Copperbead has been for two years trying
to pick quarrel with Bergner, the P. NJ.
here, charging various errors upon the
administration Of his Office. No p. NJ. is
obliged to put stamps upon unpaid matter;
that is the duty Of the person deposlt'ng
it; but, for the sake of the pref; on the
sales of the stamps, the p MS here have
always pu. the stamps upon letters and
documents, thus saving great labor to the
Houses. But SO annoying and serious
we're the charges of the Rex aforesaid, that
Bergner this week cup and" refused TO
pu, stamps upon mail matter from the
House Of Rex. The House thereupon
adopted bill allowing the clerk to buy
stamps for use the remainder Of the
session and during the recess. "The latter
clause" smelling SO strong of scattering
REASONABLE documents from now until the
election, the Senate refused to concur, but
limited the amount and time Of payi5g
for matter from the House ;he Democrat
ic Senators insisted upou that monstrous
grant of power between them, the bill
fell. For ten days, the House folks have
to pay their own postsge-which is hard
on the COpperheads, as they bad various
documents awaiting transmission at the
expense of Mother Penn. The prospect
now is, they must take them away col
porteur fashion-thanks to Rex.
Last Fall an interesting girl Of four or
five years, named Lizzie German, was
decoyed into the woods near Harrisburg,
and inbumauly murdered. The case
excited intense interest, among ali classes.
A man is on trial at Dayton, Ohio, for
the murder Of a man, who has as good as
confessed himself the destroyer Of the
darling child, and her father and others
have gone on to see the wretch and identi-
fly him if be is the man last seen with the
child.

Prof: Coburn's nomination will be
hailed with delight BY all who are &C.
quaiuted with him, aud especially in the
Northern part os our State. Born in the
wilderness and Injured to all hardships of
frontier life, with few advantages, yet Mr..
Coburn exhibited from his youth up an
ardent thirst for knowledge, and BY the
light of the fireside and Of the stolen can
die mastered the elementary books Of in-
struction within his reach. With advau-
cling years, be continued to improve in
mental atainments, and from early man
hood to the full! maturity Of all his powers
has been a teacher Of youth, with great
acceptance and usefulness, in either New

that be ever graduated at college, but
doubt whether any man has better prac'
tical Knowledge Of common sc'iools-as a
pupil, Teacher Of every grade, two terms

making popular education his speciality.
He is genial in bis disposition, irreproach-
.ble in character, loyal in every impulse,
md his elevation to yde executive charge
IF the public schools of the Commonwealth
will be particularly gratifying to those
Educators who have met Mr.. Coburn in
Iarious parts of the State.
