Irregularity of Attendance.

The School Registers or the several Schools in
.ss melancholy fact that a very large number OF
children, who have been permanent residents IN the
county, have been exceedingly Irregular IN tnef
ATTENDANCE, Some have been absent threc-iourths,
many one-halL. and a large number one-qgarter o. the
time. Had the Schools been In q crowded condition
Alarge number Of pupils would have forfeited their
seats. The present school year the Board Will be
more rigid than heretofore In enforcing It's rules on
this subject. The high order Of scholarship ofthose
whose attendance have been constant, In contrast
with the opposite class, demonstrate the immense
Injury that parents lnnict upon their Children oy
retaining them from school, or who do not insist
upon regular attendance. The modification, the
encouragement and sometimes even the disgust for
school that this pernIcious custom almost necesSa-
ray produces should caution parents 10 set their
faces against the continuance OF this disastrous
habit. Children not eornpreheuding the evil results
that follow Irregular attendance, are generally too
ready 10 fall In with any suggestions that viii insure
them a vacation for 4 few weeks, or a few days
even. Onen without a thought Of the pernicious
influence that would be likely TO follow, parents re-

PAINFUL SCANDAL AT ST. LoUIs.-The
present gossip of St. Louis is the separation
of a recently married couple. Less than two
months ago they were married in the grand
est style. The wedding presents were regal
in their magnifcence, the reception one of
the most brilliant, and the prospects of the
new couple bright indeed. The bride was
the daughter of wealthy citizen, and the
bridegroom late Rebel officer, the son of
well-known physician. he immediate cause
of the separation was cruelty on the part of
the husband, and there seems to be no reason
to doubt that he struck her often. At last,
the father caught the infuriated husband in
act and then scene approaching mob vio-
hence ensued An angry crowd got an ink
ling of the affair. aad surrounded the honse,
but the Police interfered The whole trou-
hieis that the husband imagined his wife had
an immense fortune in her own name and
right, but after marriage he was undeceiv-
ed, and, consequently. disappointed. From
this to cruelty was but a short step. The
story has passed from mouth to mouth like
widfre and the lady's misfortunes excite
much sympathy.

A SIMPLE REMEDY.-A sea Captain has
sent to the New York Board of Health a
receipt for cholera, which certainly has the
advantage of simplicity.
Capt. Peabody says:
In January last, in the packet ship Isaac
Wright, | sailed from Liverpool with two
hundred and fifty passengers.
Within fortv-eight hours after sailing,
cases Of cholera appeared on board. which
treated for some time according to the book
with such success, that within ten DAYS
had thrown overheard twenty seven of the
passengers dead with the cholera. | then
recolected a method of treatment suggested
to me by my predecessor Capt. Alexander
Marshall, viz:
To give tablespoonful of salt and a tea
spoonful of pepper, half pint of hot water,
the entire quantity to be taken at once when
decided symptoms of cholera make their ap-
pearance. Should relief not be obtained in
few minutes by vomiting. (which is usually
the effect produced) a similar quantity of
salt and water, without pepper. must be
given.
tried this remedy with such success that

sage nor since. was seized violently myself
with cholera-had cramps'and so on-and

fact She selected a nice sound ear of corn,
and planted few kernels of it every year for
thirty years Every year for twenty nine
years the corn grew and fourished, but the
thirtieth year it failed to come up or sprout.
