them up at $4,000 year. The attend

persons each Sunday so that Protestant
worship in Elmira costs $50 per head.
Mr.. Beecher recommends, instead OF
these "marten-boxes, the erection Of a
large hall, capable Of accommodating
two thousand or more persons, and that
the house be built and decorated with
all modern improvements. He also pro-
poses that this hall shall be called the
Elmira church. He promises for it q
revival all the time.

The failure of many men Ia not bs.
cause they do not possess abilities. I'M,
because they do not know how TO use
them. The choice OF business In life in
nine cases In ten is left to chance, or ca.
price, or anything but what 1t should
be. As result, very many occupy
places which they never Ill, are loaded
with tasks they never accomplish, and
are In pursuit Of objects they never
reach. This explains the disjointed, ir.
regular state OF things seen In almost
every community. If we all knew our
guage, started right and never ran Off
the track, the working force of society
would be far greater than now, and its
results of far more consequence,
Not long ago, two friends were sit
ting together engaged 10 letter. writing.
One was young man from India. The
othera female friend, part of whose fam.
lily resides in that fsroff land. The
former was writing to his mother in
India. When his letter was finished, his
friend offered to enclose 1t in hers, to
save postage. "lf it can be sent sepa,
rately 1t will reach her sooner than Y
sent through friend, and perhaps 1t
will save her tear" His friend was
touched with his tender regard for his
mothers feelings, aud felt with him that
it was worth paying the postage to save
his mother tear.
Would that every boy and girl, every
! young woman were equally saving OF
| mothers tears.
POLICE Court On Tuesday last, John

stealing money from o. L. Slader's res
taurant In the depot.

On Thursday, John Mccormick.
Michael Mccormick and Patrick Nor

lives of persons residing in this part OF
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhahiting

THE LIFE BONUs of this COMPANY, at

THE LIFE BONUS of this Company, at
last valuation, August, 1863, averaged 46 per
cent. of the Premiums paid, in some cases
rising to IS, 10, and even rs per cent. Sub
stantial benefits have therefore been conferred
ON it's Assures, and as the Life Liabilities
are valued on the principle of net Premiums,
assuming only 3 per cent. interest-(Me outside
enpenses cAargeaMe to the Life Department
for the General Management Of the Company
being specially limited By the Deed Of Settlement
to 10 per cent. Of the net Life income)-there is
every reason to expect equally good Bonuses
in the future.

Letter from Gen. Mngruder.

We copy the following letter from
one of our Southern exchanges:
So many Misrepresentation have
been lately made regarding me, that
1 deem it right to say that I was not
at the New York Stock Exchange
with Gen. Beauregard or with any
one else; that do not know where
that institution is; that I did MY duty
in attempting to keep up the spirits
of the troops under my command,
until my commanding officer had de.
cided to surrender; that by the terms
of that surrender the comm issioned
officers of the Trans -Mississippi De-
partment were allowed to select their
residences within or without the
limits of the United States.
[ will further state that. upon the
surrender of the Trans Mississippi
Department., 1 published an order
probably the last of the war-con-
demning in the strongest terms the
formation of guerilla parties, and
urging all to support the laws and
obey the orders of the United States
authorities with an honest. zealons
and loyal spirit.
Further, L sent my staff and lug
gage openly by ship -of-war, cour-
teously placed at my service by the
United States naval commanding
officer at Galveston, and would pro-
badly have gone myself, but that all
communication between New Orleans
and Havana, where I desired to meet
my family, was cut off by quarantine.
l intended to embark at Matamoras.
but was turned aside from that route
by the robbers, both of Texas and
Mexico.
Reaching the City of Mexico. en-
route to Havana and Europe, L was
offered by the good and noble Maxi
milan the Office of chief of the land
office of colonization, which 1 accept
ed, 1T being a purely civil appoint
ment, and entirely unconnected with
politics, domestic or foreign. Pre-
viously to reaching the City of Mexi-
co, L advised the Confederates not to
make use of any asylum in foreign
country to plot against their own,
and this advice was strictly and
honestly followed. The Offices held
by Capt. Maury and myself having
been abolished through the financial
embarrassments of the empire, I re-
turned to this country to work like q
man for my personal independence,
which L am now doing, without seek
ing or avoiding my former friends.

The Irish Times believes the crop
of wheat md oats will be large and of
excellent quality, and says: "There is
every probability that the Irish farm
ers will have another prosperous
year. The high price obtained for
barley in the last two years led to
extensive sowings of that crop this
year. The crop is, if anything, too
thick and heavy, but if care be taken
to cut it at the proper moment, and
with its natural right color, it must
remunerate the farmer we'll. Barley
is favorite crop, not only because it
finds ready sale, but because it
comes SO early into the market. 1t
will certainly not disappoint the
grower this year. OF the potato
crop, it is impossible to speak too
favorably. There is not, as yet, the
slightest trace of blight. Among
other green crops, turnips and man
colds hold foremost places. Both
crops, where planted early and care
fully thinned, are excellent"

SUPPOSED ASSASSINATION OF A Spy.
The New York Ecening E.cpress, of
Saturday, gives the following account
of mysterious affair, which that
paper believes TO be true:
Some few months ago, n gentleman
employed in a fashionable Broadway
dry goods store, accidentally encoun-
tered on individual whom he had for
merly known in Dublin as member
OF the Metropolitan Police force of
that beautiful city. The ex-M. P, did
not seem particularly gratifed at
meeting with his quondam acquaint-
ance, and, as soon as he decently
could. took his leave. The dry goods
man heard or saw no more of him,
and was fast foreatting his existence.
when parng, me of the morn
ing papers. givl an account of the
finding of the b of dead man in
the river, with q bullet-hole through
his head, attracted his attention. The
description of the murdered man tai
lied SO exactly with the appearance of
his old and intimate friend, that he
thought it right to repair to the
Morgne, and the first glimpse of the
corpse convinced him that his worst
suspicious were but too we'll founded.
There, stretched on one of the mar
BILE slabs, unknown, with pallid brow
and staring visage, lay the body of
the man to whom, as subsequent de-
velopments went to prove, had been
meted out the dire penalty of death
for being, Is supposed, an informer.
In about five weeks after his visit to
the NJ orgue, the gentleman we have
spoken of received n letter, dated
Dublin, from the brother of the ex-
policeman. The writer stated that a.
rumor had reached him, which he
found impossible to trace to any relia-
BILE source, to the effect that his bro
ther had been shot in New York, and
thrown into the river, and that he
would feel obliged if his friend would
call at the British Consulate and make
inquiries about the matter. The men
ton of the British Consulate solved
the whole mystery of the tragic fate
of the ex-policeman, whom he now
felt certain had met his death whilst
following the vocation of spy in the
Empire City. He had an interview
subsequently with an official attached
to the British Consulate, which con-
vlnced him that his view of the case
was a correct one. In this connec-
ton, it may be mentioned that two
OF the Irish informers have died vio-
lent deaths, and that another barely
escaped with his life from the knife
of an sh-American.

The Baltimore San says: A petit
tion now before the Governor of the
State, from highly respectable old
gentleman, asking the pardon from
the Penitentiary of an unfortunate
gran d-son, states that he, the peti-
toner, is Marylander by birth; that
he served in the defence of Baltimore
IN the war of 1912; that he is now
IN hls o6th year, and can say what
few now living can assert, that he has
seen all the Presidents of the United
States, from George Washington to
Andrew johnson. He was present,
and witnessed the laying of the cor
ner-stone OF the capitol at Washing
ton, which ceremony was conductca
by General Washington. He has now

Schools and Teachers.

A report on school discipline, sub
mitted to the Virginia Educational
Convention last week, was prepared
by Gen. Robert E. Lee. He gives
his idea of what teachers should be.
as follows:
The selection of proper persons for
the office of teacher is matter of the
first Importance, and as its duties re-
quire long and comprehensive pre-.
paration, it should be regarded as
among the most honorable and i'm
portant professions. and be commit
ted to those whose beneficial infiu
ence and instruction shall embrace
morals and religion, rs we'll rs the
intellect. The teacher should be the
example of the pupil. He should
aim ut the highest attainable prof.
cheney, and not at a pleasing medic
Gritty. Unless he can teach those
conn tied to his care to think and to
work. and can impart to them vicor
with learning, there can be no real
advance. He must study the charac-
ter and disposition of his pupils, and
adopt his course of discipline to their
peculiarities.
Above oil, he must be uniform. con-
sistent, firm, kind in his conduct.
teach more by acts than words, and
show the children under his charge
that he has their true interest at
heart. He should look upon them
not only as the parents of new gen
Grafton, but also rs heirs of immor-
tality, and while preparing them for
usefulness in this fife, instil into
their impressible minds principles of
picty and religion; for, if it be true,
as taught by history, that greatness
depends upon virtue, it is equally
true that religion is til fountain and
support of virtue. Should the dalv
business of the school be conducted
on such principles, and the pupils be
trained in the habits of obedience.
reverence and truthfulness, and be
convinced that they are noble and
lovely In themselves, and their prac-
tlce manly and honorable, the main
object Of education will have been
attained. In addition to these moral
influences, teacher should be clothed
with all the authority of the parent
in the discharge of his duties, and be
sustained by him SO long MS he
may entrust his child =" his care.
That he may be kept C, stantly in
formed of the conduct O. his child,
weekly. quarterly and yearly reports
of his progress should be sent him
by the teacher, in wi :ch should be
stated his absences, late attendance
and misbehavior. Certificates of ad-
vancement should likewise be given
to those who excel in studies and con-
duct. The systems of punishments
ought to be as simple and mild as
they can be made effective, and when
coercion has to be resorted to, it
should be generally left to the parent.
Should admonition, restriction of re-
creation, &C., fail to produce the de-
sired effect, and the pupil obstinately
resist the patient expostulations of
the teacher, there will then be no
other resource than to return him to
his parents as one unworthy q place
in the school.

The famous Prussian cannon which,
for its immensity, has long been the
wonder of the Paris Exhibition, so
far at least as artillery specimens are
concerned, is now quite eclipsed by q
new monster piece, just installed on
the banks of the Seine, at the Champ
de Mars. This piece of ordnance,
destined for the defence of the coast
OF France, weighs 76, 400 pounds, and
is less clumsy and more powerful
than the Prussian gun. It comes di-
rectly from the foundry Of R,elle,
where other similar pieces are 1eing
fabricated. 1t is breech-loading, ac-
cording to the system of General
Frebault, and can fire FIVE shots per
ten minutes.
