SCOTCH EDUCATION.

The Scotch National Education a ssociation for
combined secular and religious instruction has
issued statement Of it's views. The basis adopt
ed by the association is as follows: 1. That no
system of national education will be satisfactory
which authorizes the application of the public
money, either by Government grants OF by Local
rates, towards teaching the theological tenets of
any religious sect. 2. That, therefore the State
and the School Boards should make provision
only for the secular instruction which all children
may receive in common and that in the interest
of religious teaching itself, the care and respon-
Sibility OF theological INSTRUCTION should be
left to parents and church organizations, to be
provided by separate arrangements.

A SPELLING SCHOOL.

Patrons and friends of School Dist.
No. Two, Pleasant Prairie, met Thursday
Eve, Feb, twenty-third to enjoy spell
ing school. Exercises commenced by
singing Altogether after which Mr..
Eddie Carpenter and Miss Jennie King
man were elected to choose sides the
first round The spoilers being equally
divided, stood long and we'll the artillery
of words which were unfortunately
hurled at them but the time arrived as
such times must come when the orthog
faphy of language broke the rank on
one side thereby augmenting the other
soon the best spoilers were on q constant
march from side to side more TO the
amusement of spectators than the walk
lists. With true heroic courage when d
speIler was drawn from either side, it
only gave fresh determination to re-
claim with ''interest, (" Victory after
lowering alternately from side to side
suddenly retreated to the east, and one
by one were called by the leader, quite
contrary to his former magnanimous
spirit to young ladies, till Jennie was
left "alone in her glory against long
line opposite a naughty mind reader
reveals the following secret thoughts
of our seeming champion in this wise:
81 hope no hard feelings, like the girls,
but we boys come out head every time"
Then cunning to the other side behold
ing the impurturable GOODNESS, he as
plainly read, "Mr. G. don't be too posi-
tive even in PLAIN case, you will see
what a girl can do" While cheese
thoughts were being read the conflict
ragged, "a word corrected gave another to
help, also giving deeper tinge to the
glow of health on our fair combatant's
cheeks /; another and another were
claimed as words were corrected till the
sides stood again about even when an
intermiSslon of Is minutes was announced,
during which Mr.. John Reynolds mani
tested his interest and appreciation in
very pleasant manner till a stranger
would hardly realize he was not In
reality, again happy school boy /; fol-
lowing the dictation of his noble spirit
handed the teacher dollar IS prize
to the one who would spell the school
down. The second round Miss Charlotte
Reynolds and Mr.. George Carpenter were
unanimously elected to choose. After
displaying the dollar the teacher reques
ted Mr.. Fred Carpenter and Miss Annie
Dabbs to fill the honorable seat as I'm
pires although having no magic spec
tacles to magnify imaginary blunders,"
each was ready to detect errors. Slowly
but steadily the numbers decreased but
when the clock spoke the hour for re-
firing there stood 'sfrm and unyielding
as the rigid oak George and Eddie
Carpenter, G. Reynolds ard Jennie King
man smiling at eli, lie, ecus, ious, drop
ped and retained, but like the rest
Eddie and Jennie retired soon after
George, thinking more perhaps at this
late hour of the comfort than the 0rtbog-

his seat amidst cheers and Miss Char
lotte Reynolds modestly received the
prize. Y.

Governesses and teachers Of all kinds hold
much higher and more important place in Rus
distinct class in the State, and the men hold
brevet rank among State officials, and have a
good chance of rising in public life The female
teachers are important persons in families and in
society," and they often marry brilliantly. They
always make fortunes, for their salaries are en-
not uncommon.

RS" There is nothing appears to do our
distinguished neighbor over the way so much
good as to find in a Republican exchange
some staunch, free, outspoken condemnation
of some particular man or act done by men
connected with the Republican party. 1t is
just as gratifying to US to find that he comes
across many such, and to notice the gusto
with which he parades them in his columns
Hardly a week passes over his head but
what he enjoyes this pleasure. And the rea-
son is obvious. Republican editors are a
thinking, independent race Of beings and
never hesitate to speak their minds freely,
whether friends or foes are hurt by it.
They are neither automatons nor jumping
jacks to move as their wires are pulled by
the leaders, and hence are as often in antago-
nism to these as with them, and speak right
out in meeting whenever the occasion seems
to demand it. No one is spared from the
President down, and hence the number of
brilliant examples which falls in our distin-
guished neighbors way. We regret to be
compelled to say, however, that example has
no effect towards changing the mode of our
distinguished neighbor. He continues to go
Democracy blndly and right straight through
no matter whether good, bad or Indifferent.
Even to this day the little discovered pecca-
dillos Of several of the most distinguished of
Democracy's candidates have been unanswer-
ably exposed but our neighbor, because they
are Democrats, finds no word of condemna-
ton for either the men or their nefairous
deeds. Indeed it is question whether, be-
cause he was caught in raid upon the
treasury to the tune of $4,000, Amandus
O Democrat does not look upon George II.
Pendlcton as one of the worst abused saints
living.

Eleven suits against outside insurance
companies doing business in this State, which
had refused to pay the State taxes, were
pending in the courts of Dauphin county
when Mr.. Lear entered upon the duties OF
Attorney-General a few months ago. He
Immediately took charge of the cases him
self, and one of them, against the Germania
Life Insurance Company, was tried before
Judge Pearson last week On Thursday
the Court gave Judgment for the State for
the full amount of the claim This was
agreed upon as a test case, and the decision
holds against all of the eleven defendants
The amount involved, covering taxes for
two years, is nearly 100000. Mr.. Lear
has thus made very creditable record as
a public officer having charge of the inter
estS Of the State, and at the same time has
earned quite handsome fee for himself

BSg- The Hon. VIM. McClelland, Chair
man of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee has concluded not to risk life and
reputation among the Democratic bummers
Of Philadelphia. He has fixed his head
quarters at Harrisburg And William is
right, for more goddess set of scape graces
than comprise the leaders of Democracy in
Philadelphia can hardly be found. Mr..
Chairman Wright could make no more head
way against them last year than could a child
whistling againsta Norwester. They euchered
him at every point, and so bothered the
amiable Hendrick B., that half Of the time
he hardly knew whether, he stood on his head
or his feet Williams move will stop all
this, but it cannot secure success for Demo
cracy. The people will not consent to such
foolishness.

The Democratic House at Washington,
D. G.. has certainly been unfortunate in its
choice Of subordinate officers. Not long
ago it had to remove Hambleton, clerk of
the Committee of Ways and Means, who
had named his son after Wilkes Booth, the
assassin Of President Lincoln. The vener-
able John Nj. Barclay, journal clerk for 80
years past, was compelled to resign, and a
New Hampshire Democrat named Smith
was put in his place. This man Smith, ex-
pecting reduction of salaries, engaged in
the claim agent business, and sent out cir
culars inviting clients, in violation of the
law He must now resign or be expelled.
A pompous, burly dOor-keeper, who was
noted for his rudeness to members, and his
abuse of colored ones especially, was turned
out on Tuesday ; and two other prominent
officers are under investigation for misde-
meanor in their respective positions. This
is bad beginning for the boasted party of
reform. Republicans ask, If these things
are possible in the green tree, what will
they be in the dry? If in three months
the Democratic House finds that six of its
own officers have been concerned in such
transactions, what would be the result if
the party should control the patronage of
the nation

mense crowds have been drawn to the revi-

to gain admittancc. On Wednesday the
the services were of most affecting and
impressive character. No collections were
taken up at the final meeting, at the 4
o'clock meeting $4,000 were collected,
making the total received $143,000. Only
$4,000 Of this sum was cash, the balance
being subscriptions contingent on 100000

A RUNAWAY from in front of the Burnett
House on Monday morning last, caused some
little excitement A Mr. Vanvlet had hired
VIM. Henrys, prarie sorrels and buggy,
with which to go to Jackson Corners, and
had stopped and tied up in front of the Bur
nett House, and when he came to unite them
they shot off in an instant as soon as loose.
Mr.. Vanvliet just having time to seize the
bride rein, which he pulled off, but the horses
went on at the top of their speed, and were
not stopped until they got at Mr.. Goforth' S,
in Stroud township, about II miles from
town. The horses had freed themselves from
the wagon before they were stopped, but re-
markable to say neither the wagon, horses,
nor harness was injured except the latter
which was lightly broken. Mr.. Vanvliet
seemed to be strongly impressed with the
idea that the prarie sorrels were entirely too
fast for him.
