Appleton's Journal in the last number runs
over hastily the census of the libraries in the
United States. There were In these-public
and private-four and half millions Of books
in 1850, thirteen millions in 1860, and forty
Ave millions in 1874 wonderfully rapid in
crease. There are eleven hundred free mu.
ncpal Libraries, and, it is a significant fact,
more than half Of them are in New England,
and more than third in Massachus sets alone.
The Middle States show sparse and scat.
tered number, and the South is an utter
blank-as far as municipal and free libraries
for the people are concerned, a literary des-
ert. OF the private Libraries there, however,
some have very fine and excellent reading
for the antiquarian. The Spectator will while
away a morning with Sir Roger de Coverley !;
Bacon will enliven hot, drowsy summer af-
ternoon very pleasantly, with the Novum Or
ganum; or Chaucer or Burke's Peerage will
give a judicious variety to the fatigued mind
This may be thought an overdrawn picture !;
nevertheless, "pity It's, it's true but too
often.

Prussia ii deely exercised over the emf
grafton TO this country. A discussion in
the House of Deputies called forth an
array of facts on the subject that is con-
sidered very alarming. How to stop the
tide that is carrying off an industrial pop
ulation is the problem presented. 1t is an
established fact that the exposure to mill
tary service is paralzying to the prosperity
of the laboring classes. Men want to 60
where they can be their own masters, and
build up their homes without having them
made desolate by the ravages Of war. If
Europe will accept arbitration as the key
to peaceful settlement Of International
difficulties, and settle the matter by an
International Congress, the tide of emigra-
ton will be in measure stayed. Still,
the cheap lands of this country will con-
tinue, in connection with the high wages
for labor. to operate as a strong induce
ment to its settlement by those who are
able to transport themselves.

"The court affirms the right of the legisls-
ture to prohibit unjust Determinations in rail-

constitution, and reverse the decision of the

Cable dispatches bring the intelligence OF
revolt in the Russian provinces of Volhynia
and Podalia. The insurgents are reported to
be committing frightful atrocities. They are
numbering their opponents, and plundering
and burning property in all directions. A
force of Russian troops which had been sent
to suppress the insurrection was defeated by
q body of the insurgents. A despatch from
St. Petersburg of the 26lh says: The revolt
in the provinces of Ukraine has assumed
alarming proportions, and the atrocities COM
mi,ted by the insubordinats peasantry are Of
the most revolving cruelty. The insurgents
have massed together in large numbers, and
are extending their depreda.isns through
the district, laying waste some of the princi-

The sad accident at the fire in Boston
was due wholly to the insecure manner
In which the brick walls were, erected.
No place could have been more carefully
designed for the occurrence Of such a ca
tastrophe. It IL hard that fremen who
are always in danger while in the per-
formsnce of their duty, should be delib-

DR.. g. W. Smith, of Hofiidsysburv.:-
A short distance from his residence a
saw-mill had been erected by his son
Samuel s. and son-in law, and it was
his habit to pay frequent visits to the
same. On Monday, November 18th,

the mill. While walking across plank
which partially covered tie pit into
which the sawdust fell, scautling which
he was holding in his hand was caught
BY the saw. The shock was so violent
aud unlocked for that Mr.. Smith WAS
thrown against the saw, the Iigh: side
of his head striking the sharp teeth
The result was that his head was sew
cred half through, and from the terri
BILE wound thus inflicted several ounces
of brain matter exuded. Notwith-
standing the fearful! nature of his in
juries the victim of this unhappy acci-
dent fingered until Sunday, Both ult.,
when death came to his relief and be
entered into his eternal rest. .Ir. Smith

one of the best citizens of Huntingdon

hear OF his tragic death with feelings of
profound regret, and whose warmest
sympathies will be extended to the be-
reaved friends.
1t is reported Tat the miners in the

that they are on strike, and there will
be three men to every striker to take
their places. There are too many men
out Of employ .nent to think of striking.

New School HoUsE.-The progress
and popularity of the common school
system of Pennsylvania are exhibited
in the great improvements which have
been made in school buildings and fur
niture. Neat, substantial, and even
elegant school houses are being built
every year One of these was erected
during the past summer near the Cuba
Mills, in Fermanagh township, and
new school for the accommodation of
the citizens of that neighborhood. 1t
will be known as the Cuba School. 1t
was long needed in that locality. The
house, 2Sx30 feet liz size, is of brick,
and was built after plan found in DR..
j. p. Wickerseam's School Economy.
The cost of the building, furniture and
outbuildings was about $500. 1t Is
pleasantly located, well constructed,
amply large, with a portico in front,
closets for baskets, clothing apparatus,
&c. The ceiling is II feet high. The
blackboard contains l3O square feet of
surface. 1t is furnished with the
nGothic Desk" a neat table, coal stove
of sufficient size, Camps outline maps
and Sanders primary charts. The
building does credit to the citizens OF
Fermanagh township. and especially to
the present board of directors. which is
composed of the following named gen
tlemen William Banks, John Balen-
tine, Isaac Ssylor, Joseph Roterock,
