0UR PUBLIC SCHOOLS VISITED WITH Wis.
IToRs SELDOM SEEN.-Ye esterday was rare
day among the childIen OF our public
schools, and indeed principals and teach
ers seemed to enjoy the special visitation
ton with Prof. John. q. Hervey, Superin.
tendent; 1t was arranged to have tho
Jubilee Singers visit our schools, see the
buildings and sing two songs in each
school, so that the children, who other.
wise might be deprived Of the opportu-
nifty, might in this way hear them. Ac-
cordingly an omnibus was secured and
every school building was visited, about
fifteen minutes being spent in each ward.
The reception was most cordial by princi.
pals, teachers and scholars, aud the
pleasure given was acknowledged by many
smiles and demonstrations OF approval.
An explanation OF the visit was made and
the scholars exhorted to improve their
opportunity ofgaining knowledge. Every
song, with one or two exceptions, was a
new one not yet sung in Wheeling. Dur
ing the singing OF "Mary Had Little
Lamb" in the chorus Of which the male
quartette initiated lambs and sheep, the
boys could not contain themselves and
boiled over with delight. The company
were on the go from 0 a. NJ. to nearly 5
r. NJ, and expressed themselves as "a little
tired" when they got through. Their
singing in every school brought out re-
quests for more, one more piece" &c,
but the two pieces for each ward was rig.
idly adhered to. The singers will spend
most OF to-day rehearsing for their great
concerts at Washington Hall tomorrow.

PARLIAMENT rn0cEEDINGs.

LONDON, February 12.-In the House Of
Commons, to-day, the Chancellor OF the
Exchequer denied the truth OF the dis.
patch published this morning stating that
a treaty had been signed by which Persia
would be permitted to occupy Herat in
return for an engagement to assist Eng
land in Afghanistan. He said he could
add nothing 10 his recent reply on the
subject, which was that communication
on the subject Of releasing Persia from her
treaty engagement not to take possession
OF Herat had been under consideration,
but that an understanding with Persia
had not been reached, and 1t was there
fore inconvenient to make any statement.
Mr.. Burke, under Secretary for the
Foreign Department, replying to Mr..
Gourley's question, as to the claim of the
Government OF the United States, for
damages alleged to have been done by the
Newfoundland fishermen in Flushing Bay,
10 the Massachusetts fishing fleet, said no
measure had been taken relative To prose-
cutting the claim, which is still under the
Governments consideration. That no
measure had been taken for the sbrogat-
ing or amending clause SO Of the Treaty Of
Washington, relative TO the Canadian and
Newfoundland fisheries, that It was not
thought necessary TO make any communi-
cation for ascertaining the purport OF the
proviso OF the Convention of 1878.

1t would appear certain that II the parties

In We've this language Germany, though

set by her neighbors in their Immense

Through your kindness l
would like to say few words,

atoms required to run a factory,
the yield per card, and the in

to notice a few other points and
l am through:
Ist, As to the skilled labor
requisite to run the factories,
which seem to be the cause of
the doubts, and fears Of the
majority of the people, having
been taught to believe that
great skill must be possessed by
all the operatives, to insure sue
cess in manufacturing cotton,
but which found on inveStiga-
ton is not the case, so far as
spinning is concerned. That it
is absolutely necessary that
some one, who is acquainted
with the MACHINERY and who
would be able to adjust, and
operate it, we readily admit,
and with this skill, a mill can be
started, and very soon run sue
ccssfully with raw hands, as we
saw done at Westminster, S.

factory except those that had
been obtained in the neighbour

vcrmin on Stock.


Unless the stock is kept IN
good condition and cieanly,
vermin are far more liable to ac-
cumulate in winter than in sum-
mer. This is not only the case
in reference to hen lice, which
swarm in dirty hen roosts, and
by their attacks on birds and
quadrupeds worry their victims
out of all growth and improve
ment; but certain other acari at
lacking the legs Of horses, cat
tie and sheep, often suspend ac-
tive operations, ascend upon
the hairs and give rise to no ir-
ritation during the warm season
and it is only on the return of
winter that they return to the
skin and produce the character
istic form ofmange. The closer
ard the flthier the barn, the
more troublesome will be these
pests; while cleanliness and a
wash with a weak solution of
tobacco viii usually put a period
to their ravages. So it is with
lice and ringworm, which in
crease in proportion to the
closeness and uncleanliness of
the buildings and poor condit-
ion of the animals. Animals
with the least vitality usually
harbor the greatest number OF
parasites, which speedily un-
demine what remaining vigor
of constitution is left.-Natio-
