The Russian tiralleurs drove them
back, pursuing them to Soubalen till
nightfall. The Turks were utterly de-
morahzed and everywhere took fright.
Tomorrow (Friday) u great battle is

we expect to cut Muhktar's commune

evening number Of men who were
working on the might shift, were
started by unearthly sounds, which APP
peared TO come from the scaflolding
over their heads. Groans as of per
son in mortal agony, demoniacal yells,
whoops that would have done credit to
the widest member Of Chief Joseph's
band, and blood curdling shrieks,
seemed 10 issue from the solid timbers
of the scafiolding. A party Of the
most courageous among the workmen
was formed 10 investigate this startling
phenomenon. They procured ladders,
and sloTly and cautiously approached
the place from which the sounds app
peared to issue, but 10 their great aston.
ishmeDt nothing was found 70 which
the wild, unearthly cries could be at
tribuied. One OF the men began throw
ing sand and small piecesof iron at the
places from which the sounds issued,
when low wailing, sspulchral voice
said, Let me alone" and nothing WAS
thrown Il the ghost thereafter. What
ever other people may think OF the

that absolutely nothing could be seen,
the wind hOwled so that conversation
was almost inaudihle, while above all
was the incessant humping and sound
OF heavy pounding, which all knew

FEMALE EDUCATION

The subject of female education
receives far less attention than its
Importance demands. 1t seems to
be an acknowledged idea that women
do not require that perfection of
mental culture that men do and that
it is not expected that the same care
and preparation should be made to
enlighten and improve their minds
This idea has become so prevalent
that the majority Of school girls have
no higher aim than TO learn to read
and write, smatsering Of French
and to perform on musical instru
ments, all of which is good enough
as fal as it goes; but we believe
that they are capable of receiving
thorough knowledge of history, as
tronomy, geology, and natural phil
osophy and other branches of learn
ing, And in viewsof the fact that
the girls of to day are to give birth
to future generations from whom are
to emanate the rulers, divines, phil
osophers, &c, of their day, and the
great men of all ages are more in,
debted to the precepts and moral
learning of their mothers than any
other teacher that directs them in
the paths of learning, We insist that
girls should be encouraged to seek
both at home and in the school
room that character of knowledge
that will be useful through life, and
not to spend the golden hours of
youth in learning to lisp gay noth>
ings, and keeping up with the latest
fashions.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

In an article upon newspapers, the
New York Times uses the following
pointed and pertinent language in re :
gard to newspapers
"You might nearly as well forget
your church, your academies and
your school houses, as to forget your
local paper. 1t speeks to ten times
the audience that your local minister
does. 1t is read eagerly each day
and week from beginning to end. 1t
reaches you all, and if it mas lower
spirit and less wisdom than ser,
mon, it has thousand times better
chance at you Lying as it does, on
every table in almost every house,
you owe it to yourself to rally liber,
ally to its support, and exact from it
as able, high toned character as you
do from an educator in your midst.
1t is in no case beneath notice aud
care -unleSs you are yourself be-
reath notice and care FOR it is your
representative. Indeed, in its char
aeter4it is the communication of i'm
portance, interest and welfare of you
all 1t is the aggregate of your own
consequences, and you cannot ignore
it without miserably depreciating
yourselves.
