Trouble in the State Prison.

What might have resulted in seri-
GUS outbreak in the upper shop at the
state prison at Windsor, the 9th, was
instantly checked by the firmness of the
keepers. Soon after the men had gone
to work one of the convicts disobeyed
Keeper A. H. Woods order and struck
him blow across the wrist with large
file he had in his hand. After breaking
the file over the keeper the convict
clutched him by the throat just as an
other keeper and overseer came to the
rescue, when the convict went back to
his bench, picked up hammar and was
in the act of dealing another blow when
both officers drew their reyOlvers, and
Keeper Wood fred directly at the pris-
oner's head, but the ball passed through
the uplifted hand of the convict, doing
but little damage. The disturbance
was finally quelled by Warden Perkins,
who conveyed the disobedient convict
to solitary confinement, and the men
resumed their work.

HAYDEN's Casa correspondent
reminds us that the counsel for Hayden,
the wife murderer, have petitioned for a
new trial, alleging that William Cham
berlin of Albany, one of the jury in the
late trial, had previously formed and
expressed an opinion that he (Hayden)
was guilty, and that the Derby people
ought to have hung him on the spot.
1t now turns out by the testimony OF
the jury, or a part of them, that Mr..
Chamberlin was really the only man on
the jury who insisted upon verdict OF
acquittal very strenuOusly, there being
only one other who voted for acquittal
at the first, and he soon turned and
voted the other way.

LETT us READ.


Teachers ought to read more than
they do, or reading no more they ought
to read better books. Nothing can com
pensate for the lack Of the culture that
inevitably follows lack Of reading OF
indifference as to its character.
The cultured man or woman mast
read, and read Understandings To
fail in this is to become narrow, sell
fish and egotistical.
The teacher, if he is to be the man
lie ought to be, must have good asso-
ciates, and these lie can find in good
books. He must know what has been
done in the past, who did it, and the
reason why. This he learns by read
ing History and Biography. He must
become acquainted with the great
minds, the master minds of the world.
This he does by studying their writ
ings. He must live with them and
listen to them He must walk and
talk and sup with them" He must
know their history and glory in their
achievements. He must know some
thing Of their fancies, must listen to
their songs, and their fctions, must be-
come acquainted with their truths and
Cyrn1t discoveries
The teacher must know what is 60
ing on TODAY. He cannot afford to be
ignorant of any great event in any part
of the world. He must know what
men are doing and what they arc
talking about. To do this he must
read lhe newspaper. In short he must
fit himself to be man among men.
Then let him read history, become
acquainted with standard literature.
and keep posted on the news, Let him
do all this thoughtfully and add to his
own from the treasures of the world.

The Jewish New Year.

This is the Jewish year 1898, and
ends on Friday, September q, 1873. II
is styled the sixth embolis1nic or leap
year, kind that occurs but twelve
times in a calendarial period of 247
years. This one happens to be the last
of its kind in the nineteenth century
It has 385 days, in which there are
fifty-fye Saturdays, or Jewish Sab
baths IS months, Of which eight have
30 days each, and only 20; the Jewish
lunar cycle IA, the golden number II;
and the Passover on Thursday, April
IS, 1878, which corresponds to the 18th
day Of Nissan, the seventh month of
the civil year, and takes place three
days before Easter Sunday in 1878.
Each of the twelve years Of this sixth
kind has Saturday for it's first day,
Friday FOR its last day, and Thursday
for it's Passover, throughout the 247
years; but, from the peculiar construc-
zion Of the Jewish calendar, the Gre
gorian dates from the beginning, ehd-
ing and Passover are much oftener
varied than repeated

Prof. Philbric1, superintendent Of
the Public Schools Of Boston, in his
.semi-annual report just issued, depre-
ciates very strongly the custom Of
bringing forward little children from
the primary schools to speak pieces
and sing at grammar school exhibitions.
He supposes theidea is borrowed from
the Sunday school anniversaries, and
claims that in both instances, in the
interest of religion, morals, and sound
education, the practice should be at
once suppressed.

in their close imitation Of our Trade

AYERS Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They. correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within. their range can rarely with

cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafied the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the. common purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed
They reach the vital fountains ofthe blood.
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates. containing neither calomel

sugar-coaring preserves them ever fresh.
ana makes them pleasant to take: while
pelng purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
