CoURT.-The several courts Of this
county are in session this week. The
weather is very disagreable and the at
tendance slim Proceedings next
week.
THE FAsHIoNs.-We publish from
the Y. y. Democrat the following ar
ticle on the fashions, it will prove in
teresting to our lady readers:
The greatest and most singular revo-
luton to be chronicied in the fall fash
ions is the down fall Of crinoline.-
Hoops were discarded in Paris some
months since and are rapidly being a
bandoned by New York fashi0nables.
Fifth avenue knows them no longer
forever, and Broadway each day sees
less of them. The ladies have h0WeV-
er substituted a goFed under-skirt,
made of hair cloth, or the old-fa5hion-
ed corded muslin, 50 much in vogue
some years since.
The skirts Of long dresses have alter
ed but little since last season. They
are still worn gored very much in front
and upon the sides, but are made very
full i'm the back, and the train is Of
more moderate dimensions. All long
dresses are made with pannicr, which
is a necessary adjunct to every toilet,
the pannier puff being the favorite style
for long dresses.
There have been many new materl-
ais imported for suits, the most eXpen-
sive being figured velvet-an elegant
fabric. not unlike gentiemen's vestings.
Beautiful shades Of claret, mulberry,
brown, and garnet cloths havealso been
imported. Among the latest novelties
is an overdress Of black gross grain silk,
with a velvet petticoat striped with
black and gold, or black and crimson,
though this material can be obtained in
all shades. Plaid suits seem to be gain
ing in favor, being made always OF the
blue and green tartan. They are espe-
cially appropriate for very young Ia
dies. and are made and trimmed IN va
rious ways. As toilets are always
made in suits, there is but little 10 be
said about cluaks. Velvet will, as al
ways, hold its place as the tavoriteand
most elegant mantle; Plush jackets are
still worn aud can be obtained in love
lv shades Of blue, garnet and French
gray. They are short ana jaunty.
When made with pointed hoods and
trimmed with with rassels they are
particularly pretty. Cloth cloaks are
cut as peIisses, or as basques with capes
or hood. In black they are especially
convenient, as they can be worn with
skirt of any color. Circulars mace OF
bright-colored plaids have been exceed
ingly popular during the fall, and are
so universally admired that they will
doubtless continue to be used as neg
Iige wraps during the winter.
SCHOOL DIRECTORS DUTIEs.-The
last number Of the Pennsylvania
School Journal, has the following SEN
siblearticle on the Importance ofschool
directors visiting schools:
Tile duty Of visiting the schools is
considered one Of the most impor-
tant duties that directors have to dis
charge in the administration Of thesys-
tenn. The law makes the duty impera-
tive.aud no person should accept the Of
ticeofsch0ol director unless he is willing
to perform it. When well done, its ef-
feet is always to make the schools more
efficient. 1t stimulates pupils in their
studies. IT enables directors to ascer-
tain the exact condition Of the schools,
school houses and schOol-grOunds. On
the whole, so high a value does the
Department set upon the local super
vision Of the schools that it always cN-
poets to find the school of districts
which are regularly and systemati-
cally visited by Boards Of Directors ac-
cording to the provisions of INV, other
things equal, fifty per cent. better than
those Of districts in which the schools
are entirely neglected in this respect
and this estimate is made from perso-
nal observation in handreds Of dis
tricts."
BUSINESS. Bright, clear, and beau
tiful weather-just bracing enough TO
make a man feel good, and in the hui
NOR for pushing business. The best
way to get the purchasing portion OF
the community in the humor for buy
ing is to advertise, and one Of the best
mediums for advertising is the BED
FORD GAZETTE, which goes every
where and is read by everybody. Send
in your advertisements, business men,
if you would prosper. Keep your
selves before the public, as the poll
ticians do. Let everybody know who
you are, where you are, and what you
are doing. Attention to these matters
rarely fails 10 achieve fortune.
