PIrTsBURG, Jan 30.-Frank Lynch,
would be suicide, was arrested on the
Fort Wayne railroad bridge over the
Allegheny river, on Monday night, an
officer coming upon him while he was
preparing to jump. On being taken to
the station house Lynch confessed to
having murdered his little boy, two
and half years old, by throwing him
into the r.ver on the night of the 18th
of December. At that time Mrs.
Lynch was living at Glenfeld, few
miles down the river, having separated
from her husband and retaining the
child. She came to this city, bringing
the child with her, was met at the sta
tion by her husband, and on the way
over the river they quarreled. Lynch
knocked his wife down, and seizing the
child, fed. He secreted himself until
dark, and then started over the river.
On his way over the thought struck
him that now was the time to end the
little ones troubles, and lifting him in
his arms, dropped him into the stream
He got work on steamboat next day
and went down the river, but his cou-
science troubled HIM and he came home
a few days ago. He went to his wife
and confessed the deed, and while she
was overcome with the tidings he again
made his escape. An Information for
murder was made against him, and the
officer following him to this city was
just in time to prevent self murder.
Lynch has been committed for trial

Compulsory Education Bill.

There is a compulsory education
bill in the Legislature. 1t should
not be passed. Free education Is
guaranteed to all now. To engraft
a compulsory clause in the School
Law, is to depart from free system
to a system of despotism. Add
compulsory educational clauses to
the Common School laws, and the
germ for the rost thoroughly organ
lied despotism is laid throughout
the length and breadth of the land
1t may take century to develope Its
strong, despotie, anti-Republican or
Democratic principles, but develope
it viii. If you desire despotic power
slowly to destroy the Republic, help
to bring about a compulsory educa-
ton law.
The next step will be to establish
National Bureau of Education, and
then the regular steps from the fam
ily to the National Bureau, or head,
VIII be complete, and constitute the
most thorough organization in the
world, which need only to be manip
ulated to engraft on it the civil and
political management of the country.
The keen, shrewd, intellectually dc
veloped man is the BEAU IDEAL OF
man, in the minds of people of
this day and generation. They be
heve that all that is necessary to
create such a man is to pass HIM
through the schools in the days of
youth. The idea is that the cultiva-
ton of the intellect is all that is ne
cessary TO fit man for the highest
duties of good citizenship. While
it is true that the intellectual part of
man is of great Importance, the moral
or religious is of still greater impor
tance. Satan himself is all intellect,
without morality. If it is true that
the moral or religious quality of man is
the highest quality, that quality
should receive the greater attention,
and yet no man in this day and gen
Grafton, in this country, will advocate
the passage of laws to compel people
to attend moral schools, or places Of re-
ligious rOorshiP, which would be called
union of Church and State. a
burned child always breads the fire"
The people of the world in past days
have been burned, so to speak, by
the union of Church and State, and
that is why no legislation can be had
in matters of religion, further than
TO guarantee to all the right to wor-
ship as conscience dictates. The
proposition to establish a compul-
sorry religion or code of morals would
be scoffed out of existence so should
the proposal to enact a Compulsory
Education law. Education should be
free The despotisms that have
grown out of the union of Church
and State in the past, are written on
many pages of history, and people
are thereby cautioned against it, but
such a system as that of Education
and State has yet to be founded
Once it has been Completely founded
it Will, in its own good time, work
itself into as great despotism as
ever the union of Church and State
wrought over men. Compulsory ed
ucational laws viii become the pre-
lude to the destruction of Free
Schools, Free Religion, and the over
throw Of the Republic.

A young English governess engaged
some months ago by lady in Paris, de-
scribed as the Baroness &c T., carried of
her infant daughter, and search by the
police proved useless. The Baroness, while
walking lately in public garden, perceived
her child with lady and covered its face
with kisses. Il am much fiattered, mad
ame," said the lady, "by the attraction you
feel for my daughter" Your daugh-
ter? She is mine" renlied the agitated
Baroness. you are deceived by resem-
blance, madame, am the Countess de L.,
and this child is mine" "If she is yours -
said the Baroness, folding the child in her
arms, 'come and claim her before
the Commissary of Police" When
before the Magistrate the Countess,
upon oath, was compelled to acknowledge
that she had bought the child from a young
woman who stalled that it had neither
father, mother nor known relatives. A few
days afterwards she married, and in order
to legitimatize the child caused her to be
registered on the government books as the
daughter of herself and her new husband
She therefore claimed her. On the other
hand, the baroness demanded the child as
being her own, and as having been also
registered as hers. The Magistrate was
puzzled, and referred the case to the Tri-
bunal of the Seine, in the meantime order
ing that the child should remain in the Gus
tody of the countess.

At the meeting of the Fire Commission
ers yesterday afternoon the monthly pay
roll, amounting to $10,7 100 35, bills amount
ing to $500 70, and the wants of The De-
partment, amounting to $50, were allowed.
A committee representing the citizens of
Lick Run were given hearing, and request
ed that a fire company be provided for hat
locality. The matter was referred to
Messrs Dunn, Sargent and Chief Bunker.
The Committee on Lamps asked for more
time. The Gas Company is still charging
the Department 81 25 for gas, whereas tine
Company had promised to furnish it for
81 80.
Chief Bunker and Assistant Wisby were
appointed committee on the insufficient
supply of water on the level south of the
Plum-street depot.
The following resolution was adopted:
"Resolved, That The Secretary be directed
to notify the several Captains of the COM
panies, the watchers of which are delin-
quent, as now reported, in responding to
the night calls by the Chief, that repeti-
ton of the same by such delinquent watch
man will subject him to a suspension, if
necessitated within three months from the
time of the last dereliction."

sion to consider the charges against w. w.

case the prisoner should escape. The sher-
if handed the money to the city treasury
and determined to proceed with his duty.
Had he obeyed the request he would have
been undoubtedly removed from an office
worth $4,000 year, and the prisoners
fate would only have been delayed a short
time. Sam. Colt, after the invention of his
pistol, became very successful, but in point
of morals he showed very bad example
He was in fact, for several years one of the
claimed to become reformed, and it is to be
hoped that such was the case. He died
about sixteen years ago. The father has
also been dead many years, and now that
the third son is borne to the grave the fam
lily, however, will long be remembered for
its union ofgenius and crime.-[ Hermit" p"

AN ARMY OF FRoGs.-As J. B. Wall was
returning from Paicnes on Tuesday, a
short distance this side of Tres Pnos he
met vertable army of frogs They were
diminutive specimens of the genus reptile,
measuring about three-quarters of an inch
in length but their numbers made up for
deficiency in size. They were agile little
fellows of brown color, marked with
small green stripes, and seemed to be buck
ling down to business, moving along at four
or five inches to the hop. Mr.. Wall has no
idea of the extent of the frog belt. but they
were met with in countless myriads on the
road for a distance of half mile, and he
could see them thckly on each side of the
road, hopping through the grass, appar-
emily bent on the same destination as those
encountered on the highway. Here is a
phenomenon for some of our frog sharps
and scientists to explain. How did those
frogs get there anyhow, and whittier bound !?
We think they were the product of one of
those frog showers occasionally reported
from different portions of the country and
they were probably going to Lompoc.-
