Medical Prescriptions,

The New York Legislature has re-
Gently passed an act in reference TO the
compounding of Physicians prescrip-
tions. By the terms of the law no
apothecary is to permit any person in
his employ to put.up prescription un-
less said person is a medical graduate,
or has served an apprenticeship of two
years in drug store. Violations of the
provisions OF the act are deemed TO be
misdemeanors, and punishment by a
fine of 500, or imprisonment for six
months in the county Jail. If death
ensues, the offence is deemed to be fell
ony, and punished by fine not less
than 81 900 nor more than 5000, and
imprisonment in the State Prison for
net less than two nor more thRn foul
years, or by both fine and Imprisonment
in the discretion of the Court.

EDUCATIONAL,

For the Chronicle:
Last winter at our institute one of
our lecturers recommended promiscuous
seating in onr schools; have no boys
side" and ''girls' side'' in the school
room. Acting on his suggestion / in
treduced it and find it very good plan.
The classes being seated near together
as possible, thus saves time and avoids
the confusion which unavoidably ensues
in calling class out to a recitation seat.
The school is much more orderly, for in
this way mischievous beys land every
school has them) may be separated
more than in any other. was very
much surprised TO meet objections 10
this mode, yet nevertheless had to en-
counter some; but as they came princi-
pally from an ''sncient bachelor" con-
cluded he was sincere in his objections.
am very glad our examiners have
shown themselves sensible enough to
so strongly recommend u county super
intendant. Our country schools need
| il; our teachers need it, and We want it.
When districts will elect directors who
confess themselves that they have no
'larnini" and know nothing about

complain vi every change from the cid
beaten track and OF ever, regulation
which they do not exactly see the nee1
of, it is time-in our humble opinion,-
that something was did" This is an
age of progress, and real live teacher

know nothing about teaching school

The Prcsbterian Union.

The New York Tribune of the 21st
says: The general temper of the Presby-
terian Assemblies seems to be favorable
to the speedicst possible reunion, and
the organization of the two bodies is at
least not unfavorable. The New Mod
orator of the New School body has been
a member of this Joint Committee on
Reunion, and his course there warrants
the belief thEt his whole influence will
be cast for an abandonment of all tech
nical objections and delays. The Mod
orator of the Old School Assembly has
been less outspoken, and he belongs TO a
Theological Seminary. at least one of
the professors of which was "a hostile to
the present tendencies rs to abandon his
position and seek a more congenial one
among the South Carolinians; but DIR.
Jacobus himself is believed to be-in
the church sense-a Union man. Beth
Moderators are divines acknowledged
ability and prominence. DR.. Jacobus
ranks among the foremost Professors of
the Allegheny Seminary, and is the au-
thor OF several volumes of commentaries
that are highly xslaed. DIR. Fowler is
Pastor of the First Church in Utica, and
has long been favorite with his dsnom-
ination in Central and Western New
York.
1t affords a suggestive and cheering
hint at the real significance OF these AS
semblies, to find the Presbyterian
churches in the lately rebellious State
rapidly rssuming their old relations. In
the Old School body we find one whole
new Synod and six Presbyteries re-
turned from tha South; in the New
School, four Presbyteries. We hail their
presence as we do every other evidence
of the rapid Obliteration- of the sectional
lines, and growth of the feeling that we
are all one people.

uorr.n Raid Claims.

State Auditor Goldman has prepared

..The acts of the General Assembly,
passed April 80, and May 5, 1863, recog,
nizing the Morgan raid claims, and
making appropriations fer their pay
ment, require the Governor TO certify
the claims to this Office. The work is
now in progress, and when completed
which will be early in June, | shall be
,,rana rad to receive claims made in con-
fornity to the laws. Meanwhile the
Attorney General is preparing an opln.
Jon upon the constitutionality OF the
acts referred to, which, if averse, will
compel me to decline their payment. Il
favorable, 1 shall issue such forms and
instructions as win enable claimants tc
prosecute their claims under the laws,
with as few impedients as possible and
consistent with the public security and
the interests of the sufferers"
