s.Some Pnlnn kin-n

Farmer Jinkins, living over In the
mountain district, brings us the
following pumpkin story,-as Mr..
Jinkins is a man of undoubted
veracity, we are bound to believe it.
AS Mr.. Jenkins was engaged in
gathering some late corn off a
piece of new ground, which he had
not visited since laying-by time,
he, much TO his establishment, found
apumpkin of such mammoth pro
portions as to make him rub his
ewes and stare in amazement. AT
ter viewing the monster a while he
went TO his neighbors and invited
them to SEE the sight; they came
and measured the pumpkin and
found it to be six feet in circum-
ference, and three and a half feet
in height. One proposed weigh
ing it, and for that purpose rolled
it over, but found a hole in the
bottom, out of which sprang a pair
of ground hogs which ran INTO the
bushes, upon examining the inside
theS found q half bushel of corn.
slowed away for winter use, be-
sides grass, leaves, &C., enough to
fill a common-sized barrel.
We are sorry Mr.. Jinkins did
not find this vegetable in tine for
the fairs, but perhaps he can pre-
serve it for the Centennial.

ton All the schools in this dis
trict are in session. The schools
will average three months or more.
The school houses are very poor
ones. In fact, there is not a good
school house in this district. Some
of the schools are being taught in
houses wor 5 than none. Our
houses are badly seated-most Of
them are seated with slabs or
p~uncheons. Soue of the school
houses have no boards,
water buckets, nor brooms. The
patrons should furnish such things
the teachers salary is too scanty
to buy such.
The directors should visit the
schools from time to time. The
law requires this. It Is seldom
that the law is complied with. In
many districts the directors never
visit the schools. They take no
interest in encouraging their
teachers.
We know of some men-we
should have said directors, who
are opposed to public schools.
Such men are not fit for the Office
of directOr-because they work
against the school cause, and not
for 1T.
We have known directors to live
within three hundred yards of the
school, and never visit it. We
cannot call such men directors
they are dO-nOthingS.
W. need better teachers and
better school houses.
We have but few good school
houses in the county. People will
build good barns for their horses,
good stables for their sheep, good
pens for their hogs, but any thing
for a school house. We do hope
the people will take this matter
into consideration.
If school houses are a recon
northumberland county is hard
ly commendable.

FRANK LESLIE, at his Mammoth
Publishing House, 537 Pearl Street,
New York, issues seventeen beau
tifully Illustrated newspapers and
magazines. Mr.. Leslie was the first
IN the United States to undertake
the publication of a weekly IL
Illustrated newspaper, and to him
belongs the honor of being the
publisher of "The Oldest Illustra.
ted Newspaper in America" The
person who secures the agency for
these publications for this vicinity,
and will give u citizens an OPP
p%ortunity of inspecting the several
issues and copies of the eight mag
niticent chromos the choice from
which is gwen with a subscription
to either of the illustrated week
lies, will have q handsome and
profitable business. These papers
are well know, and sell readily for
from 10 to 10 cents on news-stands
and are now offered through agents
to annual subscribers, with a val
liable chrome which, to all lovers
of art, is alone worth more than
the subscription price. An annual
subscriber to the Illustrated NerS-
paper receives during the year
over S32 newspaper pages. Folded
to the size of a large octave book,
the subscriber would have 3,22S
pages, equal to seven octave books
of ordinary size, say AGO pages
each, and one-half of these pages
would contain fine engravings and
for the centennial year will make
the most accurate and valuable il
Illustrated History of the National
Jubilee published. We advise our
readers, after they have subscribed
TO the UNION AND AMERICAN to Sc
cure one of Frank Leslie's illustra-
ted periodicals, and with it the
beautiful chrome.
