ScANDAL.-Our neighboring village of North

scandals which show the depravity of human

About three weeks ago we noticed the fact
that man named STUReEss had suddenly

tested against him as il Was suspected he had
been too ultimate with his own sister, a girl OF
thirteen or fourteen years of age. The sus-
picions have proven well founded, as a child
was born last week, whose father should be lis
uncle, and whose aunt Its own mother, rather
too complicated family relationship. We
understand that the fellow is connected by
marriage with u respectable family who of
course feel exceedingly mortified at the do,pgs
Of their unworthy relative.

PRoF. SPoRHBERGER is greeted with more
than one hundred scholars in German, upon
the start, which shows an approval OF the in
PRODUCTION of that branch, beyond what was
anticipated. He has also a class of some doz-
en- or more outside of the schoOls-cOmp0sed
of both ladies and gentlemen. The verdict
upon the question Of qualification and compe
tentcy, as teacher, is uniform and highly fa-
vorable.
Music has also been regularly introduced
into our public schools, and Prof HAMLIN has
charge of that department We contemplate
this step In connection with our schools, with
peculiar pleasure. It's direct influence upon
the children in the way of entertainment and

In itself sufficient for justifyiDg the arrange
ment and outlay But this is but minor and
subordinate view of the matter. The insensi-
bile, pervading aud transforming eject upon
the character-maklng the heart better, the
life happier and supplying lifelong source OF
pleasure, are considerations that are not TO be
estimated or measured by the standard of dol
lars and cenis-the mere cost of adding such
department TO common, juvenile education

and connection with other schools, 10, we pre-
sumo, every way qualified for the place that
has here been made for him, and we can only
hope that his success will more than meet his

SEMINARY GAS WELLs.-The drilling in the

grounds, was completed on Tuesday last at a
depth of about 700 feet. Several large veins
have been struck, the first at depth OF 800
feet, and the last and largest at about 700 feet.
The flow of gas is very heavy, but quite an
steady. A powerful pump is TO be put on o
test it. The first well, where immense veins
OF gas were struck, is also to be thoroughly
tested by the pump, and it is thought when
entirely freed from water, allowing the gas
veins which are now filled up to reopen, it
will furnish a flow of gas equal to the quantity
when the veins were first struck.
