The International Exhibition OF 1876.

The Directors of this exhibition
have issued the following circular to
the teachers of the United States.
"Your earnest attention is invited
to the importance of enlisting the
schools of your county in the success
of the Centennial Celebration of our
Independence. TO the youth of the
country the Importance of giving their
tribute to the memory of the sages
and heroes of the revolution, for the
blessings of Free Government, re-
ligious liberty, and Universal Educa-
tion that we now enjoy, by reason of
their sagacity and struggles, must be
self-evident. 1t cannot be doubted
that our youth love and venerate the
virtues of their great forefathers.
Doubtless they will gladly testify
their interest in the coming celebra-
tion of the centenary anniversary by
aiding it to the extent of their ability.
Each school may be expected to sub
scribe for Centennial stock and pur-
chase medals. The shares of stock are
of the value of ten dollars each, and
the pupils, by small subscriptions
among themselves, may readily get
together the moderate sum that would
procure share for the school itself.
The beautiful emblematic certificate
now being engraved at the us. Treas
ury Department, Washington, d. G.,
should be suspended in the school ,and
the name of each subscriber appended,
thus forming a national roll OF
honor.n
State Superintendent Wickersham,
of Pennsylvania, gives the recon-
mendation his warm approval, and
promises to present the subject to the
schools of his State.
When the subject is properly pre-
sented to the teachers of California We
feel sure they will respond with their
accustomed liberality. AS our hon.
ored fellow citizen, Gov. Downey, is
one of the Directors for this Congress
sional District, we may expect he will
in due time take such measures as the
Importance of the trust committed to
him demands.

tied the "Centinela and Sausal Redondo"
Rancho, and driven over the land described in
your ad vertsement. With all my experience
in the southern part of California, have seen
nothing to surpass this tract in fertility of soil,
beauty of location, and advantage of easy ac-
cess and salubrity of climate. For purposes OF
colonization, know of no large body OF land
so near growing commercial centre, In call
fornia or elsewhere, to equal It, No part OF 1t
is unavailable for farms, orchards or home
steads 1t can be undivided into lots ranging
from five acres to several hundred acres and
every acre of it can be made productive. water
is abundant and convenient. Tue land Is
subject to easy irrigation; and l can youch Tor
the fact that ID will produce anything that
flourishes in Los Angeles or Santa Barbara
counties. 1t is my confident opinion that tne
value of shares In this magnificent tract VIII
be quadrupled within two years-such Is the
extraordinary influx of immigration 10 the
Vicinity of Los Angeles at the present TIME.
Wishing you success In your undertaking,
am, very truly yours, J. Ross BROWNE.

A Child Killed by n Dog,

A painful story from Homer, Courtland
county, is thus briefly told by the Ith-
aca Journal: "a little girl named Clark,
aged years was visiting, Friday after
noon, with her parents, east of the will
age. A daughter of the latter invited
her little visitor to go out to the coop
and see her chickens. They went to-
gether, and as they were passing through
the wood-house, were joined by a large
dog belonging to Mr.. Joselyn. Arriving
at the hen house, the daughter of Mr..
loselyn opened the door and passed in.
The little Clark girl, attempting to fol-
low, was set upon by the dog, which SO
frightened the Joselyn girl that she clos
ed the door of tho hen-house. The
screams Of the girl at length reached the
ears OF the inmates of the house, who
came running to her assistance. When
they reached the spot, the dog had his
teeth fastened in the childs right arm.
and was shaking her furionsly. She
was rescued but was horribly mangled
| One ear was bitten off. the right cheek
bitten out, and a portion of the scalp
torn off. Beside these wounds, both
arms lwerosteribly mutilated. Every thing
was done to relieve the excrucating sui.
terings Of the unfortunate child during
last night, and this morning, death mer.
cifully put an end to them.
