pared with the present. Wonderful
events did not crowd each other in such
rapid succession, as ut the present time.
Indeed every thing seems to be changing
with the passing years. Amusement is
quenched by experience. Mankind are
prepared to expect anything and every.
thing, and are even disappointed, if every
new day does not herald an unheard OF
wonder. If fractional part of the mar.
velous conquest in the arts and sciences
condensed in this century, had been pre-.
dcted at its commencement, it would
have been pronounced incredible, But
almost any prophecy for the future, no
matter how fabulous is readily endorsed
as possible, if not probable. To assert
that we may yet acquire an education by
machinery, would not be disputed, by
many, as doubtful. Fashions and styles
change with the seasons, and so sudden
is the transformation, that the leaders can
hardly keep pace Some are foolish
enough to find fault with the cxcentri-
cities and extravaganciees of the period,
especially in the costumes of the ladies.
Why not allow them to be governed by
their own tastes and dictate their own az.

gence and earnestness in study, and the obsery-
anca OF order on the part of pupils, shall be the
prominent characteristics of this School.

THE NELLOWSroNE.-A letter dated
on the Yellowstone, July 9th, says II
is singular that one of our largest and
most beautiful rivers nearly three hun
dred miles long, and navigable for two
hundred miles from its mouth, should
remain entirely UNEMPLOYED by large
steamers until 1873. From measure
ments now made by Gen. Rosscr, the
average width of the Yellowstone Is
ascertained to be twelve hundred feet,
and its rate about six miles an hour.
The average height of the banks is from
six to twelve feet. The wife of Lieut..
Thorn, who accompanies him on the
expedition, is the first white woman
who has sailed up the Yellowstone.

TERRIBLE Boy MURDER.-Thc commu-

the murder of Willie Carter, little boy,
by, as alleged, three other boys, at the
instigation Of his step.mothcr. who, it is
charged, gave them SO for committing

before the coroner was begun last week,
when David Martin, one OF the accused +,
made a confession. 1t seems that the
four boys arranged to 60 bathing togeth-
er at secluded place on Smiths Greek.
While on the way, one of them, Jimmy
Anderson, sharpened his knife on the rail-
road track, and also cut club from the
thicket. On reaching the desired place
the following sickeniug scene took place,
as narrated by Martin;
" Willie Carter and one of the boys
stripped off and plunged into the water.
Jimmie threw Willie's hat into the water,
which he (WIllie) swan after and secur.
ed. They next threw his clothes in,
which he also swan after,and in attempt

upon Willie and attempted to cut him,
Willie resisted and finally threw the boy
off ,remarking as he did 50, that he ddn't

In few minutes thereafter one of them
struck him with club on the forehead,
which stunned him, and he staggard tow
ards the bank Of the creek, and Jimmie
and Willie showed him in the water. They
then tied the leg of his pautaloons, which
they filled with rocks and threw over
his neck. The boys then sa. on the bank
of the creek with the exception of David
who lay on the hill out of sight and
watched the boy fifteen minutes, until the
last bubbles were seen to rise. The body
was then pulled up to the bank, and the
left leg wrapped around a sapling. While
in this position they cut off small por

ing that he promised to carry that to Mrs
