THE WRETCE.-A few days ago, at Scranton,
this State. John Carroll went home, barred the
doors and windows and commenced an assault
on his wife, whose pitiful cries attracted the at
tenton OF the police. and having succeeded in
breaking into the house, they put stop to Car
roIS murderouS work by arreStinS and walking
him or Ia prison, where, il is 10 be hoped, he
Will spend the bIlmy days OF many summers.
When they entered the house, the policemen
found Mrs. Carroll, bleeding and unconscious,
on the floor, her head and body being covered
with sears and bruises. Her three-monthS-old
babe that she held in her arms when her brutal
husband began the attack had q scar on the
head, the result OF 4 blow and the chairs and
tables were smashed into kindlng-wood. Car
roll refused to say why he did the bloody work,
but he should be made 10 suffer the penalty OF
his dastardly crime, notwithstanding.-PhH

But what "pcnalty" do you mean,
brother Blair? We propose that the
Delaware whipping post be intro
duced for the benefit Of such wretch
es.
Mr.. E. o. Wilson last week com.
pleted the delivery of the History Of
Centre and Clinton Count ties, in this Sec
ton. Mr.. Wilson is very agreeable,
social and entertaining gentleman,
sharp as whip, and very old boss in
this speciality, which he has followed
for some years. With the History it
self we are much pleased as far as we
have been able to examine it. 1t is all
and more than was promised and re-
fleets much credi both on the author,
our fellow citizen, Hon. John B. Linn,
and on the enterprising publisher, L.
II. Everts, Esq, of Philadelphia. Tie
''pict,ueS" are good especially are the
steel portraits Of DR.. p. T. Musser, DR..
D. J. IIillbisb, j. G. Motz, Esq, Ex
Gov. Curtin, Gen. Beaver and brother
Meek, fine works Of art aud most ex.
cellent Iikemesses. The wood cuts are
$50 so." They will answer for
pinch.
The local Teachers Institute
which met here last week was a success.
The attendance was good, not only of
teachers and professors" but of di.
rectors and citizens also. The essays
and Iecitations were fair, the discus
sions of practical subjects lively and
pointed, and the only regrets We heard
from any source was that the whole af-

rightly conducted will spread informa-
tion on the important subject of schools
and education generally.
Our people are more than ever cons
vinced that Supt. Wolf is eGactIy the
right man in the right place. He seems
to be deeply impressed with the imper-
ative necessity Of educating the moral
natures of our school youth; as well
as the intellectual, an labors faithfully
on that line. May be be well supported
in his important work by all who have
the general welfare at heart.
Next Tuesday the Spring elections
for township and borough officers will
take place and it is the duty as well as
the privilege of citizens to see to it that
the right men be pot in the right places.
Local taxes in the aggregate much ex-
ceed the taxes levied for the state and
county purposes, hence the relative I'M
po1tance Of local elections. Generally
speaking men who manage their own
affairs well, who are industrious, thrifty.
and possess good business tact, will
make good and safe public officers :; and
yet it happen that particular man
may be we'll cal culated for one position
but not for another. For instance one
