NIR. Enron.

MR. EDlroR.
In reply to the enquiry in
your paper as to the spelling of the word
''pan hoss" allow me to say that | have
looked for that word in the German lexi-
con and have not been able to find any
probable derivation of it, in that language.
think the word never crossed the ocean
but is native born, of Indian origin. There
is word among the Indians adopted in
our language sometimes spelled ''pone"
and sometimes ''paune" in Webster's
Dictionary signifying a cake made of corn
meal believe The name of the mush of
corn and buckwheat meal in the water in
which the liver and clippings of pork are
boiled is derived from the same word
''paune" and that its proper spelling and
pronunciation is accordingly ''paunous."
Yours &c.

LETTER FROM DIR. UiaBHE ON THE SUBJECT.
The following letter has been addressed
by the Superintendent of the Soldiers Or
phans Schools to the G.. A. r. committee
that waited upon him in reference to the de-
privation of children of the privileges of
these schools ''Your resolution, earnestly
urged upon the attention of the superinten-
dent of the public instruction, has been
most carefully considered. We feel with
you the painful fact that there are many
destitute children of disabled soldiers,
whose applications for admission to the
Soldiers Orphan Schools of the common
wealth have been received, examined and
approved, who cannot be ordered into said
schools because the funds appropriated to
this end by the Legislature have been ex-
hausted From earnest and charitable i'm
pulses, which we commend, you urge us
to order all such children into the schools
upon the pledge of Endorsement and sup
port upon the part of the large and widely
influential organization which you repre-
sent. Only one answer can be given to
this urgent request upon your part which
is this: While individually we would be
most glad to grant your request, yet rs repre-
senting department Of the Commonwealth
we have no power TO do 80, We cannot
contract debts, by going beyond specific
legislative appropriations, upon any author
ity other Than that of an act of the Legis
latuFe itself"
