An AFFLICTED FAHILY.-The family of Mr..
Joseph Seitz, living near Stewartstown, has
been sorely afflicted for several months. Near
ly all the members have had an attack of ty-
phoid fever which in several cases has proved
fatal. Miss Ella, a daughter, died some six
weeks since, then followed, Mrs. Lucy, wife of
Charles Seitz, son of Joseph, and on Sunday
night last, Joseph, the father of the bereaved
family, died. Mr.. Seitz had severe attack of
the disease, sometime in July last, which very
much Frustrated his system and short time
since he became afflicted with chronic diarrhea
which resulted in his death as above stated
He was farmer in quite favorable circum-

50 years of age His wife is nowquite i'll with

VISITING ScHooLs.-None but the teacher re-
Allies the benefcent effects of frequent visits
from parents and guardians to the school
They stimulate the teacher to greater effort and
encourage the pupils to more diligence. Moth
ing helps more to make children take an in
terest in themselves than to be fully parsua-
ded thatthei parents take deep interest in their
progress. Do not go TO school especially on
Friday, or the last day, but go on Monday or
Tuesday, or any day when you can spare an hour
or two and see the everyday workings of your
school. Teachers and school officers can do
much, but they cannot perform the duty you
individually owe your children and your neigh
bors. The value of friendly visit and an en-
couraging word from each patron of the school
once or twice during the term cannot be told.
Without it the record is incomplete and the
school is partially at least, failure.

''NEw DEPARTURE. DIR. E. B. S. Shoemaker,
formerly of this town, but who lately removed to
Dover, Delaware, where he is practcing his pro-
fession, is taking lively interest in the public
schools of that section. In speaking Of the -four
ishng condition of the District School OF Dover,
the Delacaredn of the 9Th inst, says
"Dr. Shoemaker, of Baltimore, recently settled
in Dover, is evncing his interest in popular edu-
cation and his public spirit, and adding to the
attractions of the grammar department by deliv-
ering a series of semi monthly lectures on physi-
ology and anatomy before large, newly organ
lied class in that science. The first lecture of the
series was delivered on Friday afternoon of last
week. 1t treated Of the frame work of the human
body, and was we'll and beautifully illustrated
| by the exhibition of bona fde human skeleton
The intense interest Of the listeners was fattering
to the lecturer who grew eloquent over his favor
lite theme, and gave assurance that this "new de-
parture" would be great success"

A SHOT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. correspond
ent OF the York Gazette, writing from Shrews-
bury, talks sraig ht the point 10 the following
paragraph Read it and profit by the warning
given. He saws:
The season for idlers and loafers in shops and
stores is at hand. We have beard several COM
PLAINS from some of our business men, that some
OF their customers who very valuable to them,
are nevertheless in the habit of lingering in their
establishments for hours at time, much to their
annoyance. They cannot treat them impoilely,
and have no inclination so TO do. But they
think hint Two 10 the policy OF short visits
on business, especially when others required fair
degree of attention, would not only prove service
able in their case tut in general sense. The
error is a serious one, and prevails TO a very great
extenl in this place. There are some people who
fancy that Others have little or nothing ~ do !;
they visit the stores and business places, and
lounge on the desks and counters; they repeat
silly stories that have been told dozen times
beforehand still worse, they pry into matters
with which they haze no concern, and thus not
only annoy and vex hut inflict absolute injury.
A friend, who keeps leading store at one of our
prominent corners, informs rs that be has lost
quite a number OF customers in consequence OF
the almost perpetual presence of idlers and loaf
ers who stare with rude impotence, ana who
will not take any gentlemanly hints that he has
given them. They do not like to turn them out,
but we are assured that they not only suffer in
their feelings but in their business also. Some
of them may mean no harm, but the effect is not
the less pernicious. A man Of common sense,
and gentleman, could readily imagine the del
icacy OF standing or sitting beside the coun ter of
store with lady making application for arti-
Giles either for herself or member of her family.
We know Of case where young man in busi-
ness was absolutely ruined in the manner de-
scribed. He lacked the moral courage to send
away the iders who infested his establishment,
and the consequence was all his customers left
him."
