To All Connecticut People.

July Sd, IT'S, occurred the celebrated Massacre at Wyoming, Pennsylvania, when 300 whigs mistakenly but courage ously attacked an invdaing force of 300 Indians, Tories and British. Two-thirds of the whigs fell in battle or were butch cred in hot blood, and the fair Valley became blackened wilderness. On the Sd of July next 8 proper observance of the catastrophe is arranged. The old fort is rebuilt for the occasion. It will be a fit time for the hundreds of families in Connecticut, Rhode Island, etc, who had friends there, or who held rights " in the Susquehanna or Delaware Com panies to make visit to q locality so full of personal and historical interest Have any of the public or private li- braries copy of the pamphlet issued by one (name unknoWn) who escaped from the first massacre (1763)? Or of James Rosencrans. who was captured by the Indians and escaped ITS? Or of Luke Swetland who had similar his tory? All were printed, but only per ton is now known. The works are de- sired to complete our local history.
 Captain Isaac Tracy and Daniel Gosh settled on the Delaware in 1761, and in Wyoming 1869. Tracy was born in Pres ton, 1716, but he is not learned of after the Sd of July 1778. Gosh survived the massacre, and died in 1789 Information is desired of the fate of MT. Tray, anC of the origin of Mr. Gosh.
 Will all who have had, or now have any interest in Wyoming, give notice ot the coming observances, to fill the frs week in July? Any information respect ing the general celebration may be asked of Wesley Johnson, Wilkesbarre, Penn. Secretary of the General Committee
 Either, of the above-named pamphlets, O
 facts respecting Captain Tracy Qr D Gosh, will be very gratefully received b!

Brief School Notes.

Children having the nervous tempera- ment-light hair, eyes, skin, sharp chin, and general fairness and delicacy--are the special victims of ambitious parents and teachers. They are intellectually inclined, and are just the materials for an exhibition, the ones selected for a '' show-off," the ones easily induced to make unusual mental effort, and the ones to fill an early grave. They never need any urging, but always need to be re- strained or urged, to develop the body correspondlingly, fed carefully, built up physically, that the mind may have an abiding basis, regulating support. But these are ordinarily selected for special occasions q speak as an ex-teacher), the parents and teachers often combining in the scheme intended for a display of preeocious talent. And for this reason such receive undue attention, unneces- sary excitement and encouragement hot house treatment while the heavy, the indolent, with more stomach than brain, those not easily crowded too much, re- main dull and stupid, though they are often the ones who, in consequence of their superior endurance and good di- gestion, are capable of making fine scholars, though mora from their super for physical organism and power of en- duranee than from brilliancy of mind, since such can endure long and contin- ued effort, learning slowly but retain ing what is obtained by hard labor.

An Awkward Pause.

A young gentleman undertook to relate 8 circumstance one Sunday evening in the presence of some young ladies' and he commenced as follows:
 "A lady friend and myself, last even- ing, went to Bed"
 With a sudden spring the old lady bounced him out of the house. The next day the old gentleman met him on the street and asked for an apology.
 Il was about to say" commenced the young man, that 6 ledy friend and my self went TO Bed
 Just then thrust from the old mans cane started him back several feet, upon which he exclaimed at the top of his voice:

tai employments, and an unwillingness to engage in the usual sports of the young. have small and fabby muscles. The body is not nourished, the brain is not sustained, the physical system droops, the mind crushes the body--in- stead of acting in harmony, each sus- taining the other--and disease is the le- gitimate result.
 As a necessary consequence of all this, the too large and too active brain, by in- creased activity, becomes more and more excited by an Over-supply of blood, is ir. ritated by both the unnatural activity and the undue supply of blood, almost or quite, congestion, while this increased activity robs the stomach of it's blood stimulus, as it does also the limbs, of course cutting off the supply of nourish- ment and the power of the stomach to use what it has, while the diminished activity of the body inst to that extent weakens digestion-a two-edged sword cutting in both directions. By such course the body is constantly weakened, the mind-already too activc-is e. cited to precocious development, the source of power--the digestion of food-rendered less and less perfect, the mind crushing the body, destroying the whole organ- ism.
 Itmust be evident that to excite, en, courage and force mental development, when such are too much inclined to men. tai pursuits is cruel in the extreme. whether done by thoughtless and am bilious parents, or by teachers. The lives of such is crushed out ordinarily before reaching twelve years of age, and the death is attributed to mysterious dispensation of Providence mo more mysterious than other violent deaths, The brain levers, congestion of the brain with stomach and bowel difficulties thus caused are no more mysterious than dis eases of the brain caused by ardent spirits.

Man and Wife.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the following excellent advice. There is much human nature and good sense init:
 Harmony in the human state is the very first to be aimed at Nothing eans preserve affections uninterrupted but a firm resolution never to differ in will and a determination in each to consider the love of others of more value than any object whatever on which a wish ha been fixed. How light, in fact, is the sacrifice of any other wish when weigh ed against the affections of one. with whom we are to pass our whole lifei

The Dancer.

He met her at the picnic
He melted a. her glance,
And he murmured sadly in her ear.
Dear heart, cannot dance"
Now the green sbadowed woods re5Ound
with airs Of sunny France;
In many figures Ger the ground
The youths and Inaidens prance-
But who is he. FAR down the glen
Who eyes this scene askancer ?
Who shuns the eyes of maids and meuE
-Tls he WhO cannot dance.
Not dance2 Yet see behold him there,
Observe him leap and prance;
High climbs he in the empty air
wild, weird, fiendish dance.
He leaps. he kicks, he slaps his legs;
Ha, ha His wide, wide pants
Are full Of fifteen Thousand times
Ten thousand thousand ants.

Steals beauty year By year.

Who sheds, save she, & tear

While Tine. the cunning. mars
Surely all lOyeliness-
Yet though by breath and breath
Fades all the fairest prime.
Men shrink from cruel Death,
But honor crafty Time.

LOOK OUT FOR HIM.-The Red Bluff
Cause cautions people OF the North to
beware of one Thomas L Coyle, Agent
for the American Sewing Machine. He
was $3.50 behind with the Company for
which he acted and failing TO make a
satisfactory settlement was arrested. Two
Red Buffers went his bail and he ske-
da1dled. The Cause says: "Our ST ster
towns north and west of this place would
do well to look out for him should
he put in an appearance in their midst
take good care of him at the county's
expense until the proper authorities are
notified and some one will be Dispatch
ed after him. He is wanted here, and
any one giving information to proper au-
thorties and having him arrested will be
suitably rewarded. He is young man
of about 25 years ofage, about six feet
tall, of slim build, scar or cut between
the lips and chin; had on box-toed shoes.

RUMoRED CABINET CHANGES. - A
recent New York Herald Washington
special says: There are renewed through
vague rumors here of possible changes in
the Cabinet, but the names mentioned do
not include those OF Evarts, Schurz or
Key, against whom attacks have so far
been made. The rumor Gays that the
President is getting tired of the pressure
which has been brought upon him from
certain quarters to dismiss his Secretary of
the Interior and his Postmaster General,
and that if this continues he is not unlike
ly to ask for the designations of some
other members, retaining those above
mentioned. If tie Cabinet is to be
changed he means to make it more homo
gsneous, and in the direction of his own
policy. So say some of his friends; and
while he does not wish to make any break
at this time, if the pressure of the politl-
clans inconveniences him he may take the
matter 10 hand.

BEEcHER's LAsT.-A New York dis
patch Of January 2lst, says that Beech
er preached somewhat remarkable
sermon yesterday, which will attract
much attention and probably call forth
as lively discussion as his discourse on
He'll some weeks since. He bewailed
with his usual eloquence, the inefficency
of education to save the race, and took
the ground that some influence is neces-
sary to bring into the world beings supe-
rior intellectually and physically to those
who irhabit it. and who will be disposed
to good instead of evil. Beecher, in al
ludng TO our present unhappy condition
shed tears and his congregation was Of
course visibly and deeply affected. What
is the influence which BeeclIer thinks is
necessary to save US 4? This question he
did not answer, and unit! he has answer
ed it there will be a good deal of curiosity
as TO what he means.

THE WAY TO Do IT.-The Bland Sill
yer Bill passed the United States Senate
on the 3lst proriDlo, without dissenting
voice, and the way it was done is ascribed
to the ingenuity of our ex-Sheriff John
p. Jones, who stood God father for the
measure in the Senate. Recognizing the
great amount of valuable time which
would be wasted by editors and clergy
men in counting a million or so in silver
dollars, when making collections or dis
bursements, larger coin was decided
upon. The silver men had a number of
specimen silver $50 pieces struck-suita-
bic alike for pin money and dinner plates.
These we're distributed among the anti
silver Senators, who were earnestly re-
quested TO test the fineness OF the metal
by biting. While the innocent "anti )"
was thus engaged, u silver infationist
would gently rap the outer edge of the
mammoth coin, driving it into his mouth
and thereby effectually depriving sfiG
"anti" " of the Free Speech guaranteed
by the Constitution. When the entire
opposition to the Bill Rad thus been Sc
cured, the measure was called up out Of
its regular order. The silver men voted
AYE !" enthusiastically but not sound
was heard when the mays" were called.
The proceedings throughout were charac-
terized by the utmost good humor on the
part OF the silver men, the grave and rev.
erend Senators wearing a smile that was
" child-like and bland" Even some of
the opposition had their mouths stretched
from ear TO ear.
The mail has arrived since the above
was written. and while we are slightly in
error regarding the particulars of the
case, the main facts are correct. The Sen
ate simply passed the Billion the file.
