Every young man who has more than one girl
IL taxed five cents.
For counting in the kitchen, twenty-five cents
Counting in the parlor, one dollar
Counting in a romantic place, five dollars, and
fifty cents for each offense thereafter.

For the Spectator.
Schools for Freedmen.

Mr.. EDITOR Permit me to answer few
questions through your columns. While have
no desire to crafty the curiosity of the busy
body yet, as / am in no way connected with
the military, and therefore not obliged to follow
their customs of secresy in regard to business
l have no objection to answering the civil ques-
tons of ladies or gentlemen, who are naturally
interested in what is being done among that
class of persons with which they themselves,
questions which I am asked is-''How are the
schools supported PIT being a common i'm
preston that the Government sustains them
This is an error. The American Missionary
Association at New York receives contributions
from Northern Churches, and with this fund
carries on the work.
'Can they learn?" An experience of ten
years in teaching white children conyinces me
that the colored learn as rapidly as the white.
The adults of course learn slowly
''Do you whip them?" Sometimes we d.
But we feel that their freedom makes them
more responsible than ever before, and they
must now learn to act from a sense of honor and
right if they would become fit for society, or
worthy Of freedom. Therefore we try to teach
them to act from these motives rather than fear.
We intend to teach them the necessity of la
Dor and respect to the white people on all occa-
sions SO far as we are able to influence them
through the school.
Allow me to thank the good people of Staun-
ton for their kindness and courtesy thus far, to
all the teachers and to invite any who may feel
interested in the cause of humanity and the
welfare Of these poor dependent creatures, to
call from time to time as may be convenient and
witness the school, Very Respectfully,
JOHN SCOTT, Sup't. of School.

conduct general foundry and machine business
at their newly fitted up establishment the
EAGLE MACHINE Works,
Corner Ninth and Canal Streets, (South side Of

Are now prepared to manufacture Stationary and
Portable Steam Engines of any REQUIRED power
Also, Saw and Grist Mills
Mill Gearings Steam Boilers
Brass and Iron Castings
Forgngs, and Machinery of every description
Having obtained most of the patterns of the late
MIR. Philip KAHN, we can build new and repair
old machinery with great facility, and being sup
piled with the most labor-saving tools, we can ia
vorably compete with any establishment in any
kind OF work, both as to quality and price. The
senior partner, Frank Kahl, mechanical engi-
neer, was, for number of years, superintendent
and partner in the late P Rahms Eagle Machine
Works. Adolphus j. Rahm, son of the late p.
Kahn aided by +. Kahl, has conducted the bus
mess of his father since his death in JAM 1862
until the fire in April, 1866, when the Works were
destroyed. We assure the public that any work
entrusted to us will be carried out on the most
scientific and practical plan combining simplicity
with efficiency, and economy with durability
As successors to the late Mr.. P. Rahm of the Ea-
gle Machine Works, on Cary Street, Richmond,
Va, we solicit a continuance of the liberal pat
ronage heretofore enjoyed by that establishment,
