The objection against the use of the

your correspondent " Acer," in his

Bible 5s read in school, or any religious
exercise is allowed, it will be used, Cl

tiaui'y certainly ought to have a place in
the education of youth. It is admitted
by all citizens of this country, with ex
ceptions too insignificant to notloo, that
the Bible was written by divine inspira
tion, aud is therefore to be considered
not as the word of man but as the word
of God. Not that tho Bible contains all

This being universally admitted, it

should object to the reading of this book

TO THE PEOPLE OF ELK

It is proposed to establish at some
point in this section of tho State a " Nor
mal School," not only for tho education
of those ititending to follow tho profes
sion of teaching, but of ull who may
choose to avail themselves of its advan-
tnges. Every citizen would bo directly
or indirectly benefited by its establish
ment iu our county, aud that end may
bo gained by a united and well directed
effort.
All or nearly all of our people liava
felt the want of greater educational priv
ileges than are afforded by tho present
system of common schools, and there
are many youth of both sexes who would
gladly pursue the different studies they
may have commenced farther than they
can in those schools, but who are pre
vented by circumstances, among which
arc often the great distance to go from
their homes and the want of sufficient

In the preceding; papers I have used
both theso versions, and cited texts from
one or the other iudiffurenlly, sometimes
giving prcfcrcnco to one as best cxpres
sing the evident meaning of the origi
nal. Now a bigot might object to the
translation, but an honest man would
not object to the Bible if read in either
of the versions above Darned, which
ever was most used in the district read
by the teacher, or by all the scholars
who are able.
Yet a fool might object that the
school is a secular institution, and the
Bible which is a religious book does not
belong there. So it U reliion and the
only true religion that is sought to be
removed from our schools under pica of
keeping them free from sectarianism
But, however it might be under a des
potism, a popular government depends
for its stability on the virtue not less
than the intelligence of the people ; and
there can be no enduring virtue apart
from religion, and, I may say, the chris'
tian religion. What would the hopes of
our youth be worth for time to say
nothing of eternity! if they aro to
grow up without religion t Will rulers
of people regard "' the oath of God," if
they arc taught to despise religion and

lament the lack of opportunity of ac
quiring a knowledge which can only be
derived from books, and which op
portunity may be, nay now is, ofleicd to
the people of our county.
It is a truth, the proof of which lies
in observation and experience, that the
higher the educational standard of a
people, by so much tho higher is the
moral and intellectual standard ot society.
I propose to say nothing of the phys
ical advantages to be gained by securing
the location of this school for they are
self evident. No person would attempt
to deny that the erection of buildings
sufficient for the accommodation and m-
and the influx of population consequent
thereon, would materially and greatly
enhance the valuo of property through,
out the county.
It will be necessary, in order to se
cure tho "JNormal bchool ' tor this
county to raise the sum of Thirty thou-'
sand dollars, to which the State would
add fifteen thousand making iu all for
ty-five thousand dollars.
I do not understand that the money
so contributed U to be absolutely dona
ted, but that certificates of stock are to
be issued therefor.
Will not some one move in this mut
ter. A few weeks or even a tew days
mav bo to late, as other counties are
, ,
pressing their claims, but as yet oui cen
tral location in in tho district gives us
the advantage.
Allow me to propose a plan.
Let each township appoint a commit
tee to solicit subscriptions within its
borders, aud when that committee have
visited each man iu their district, let
them report to some person, in Ridgway,
say Hon. Henry Souther or Jno. O.
Hall .hsq., cither of whom, I havo no
doubt, would willingly act as a central
committee, tho names and amounts sub
scribed. In this way an expression of
the feeling and desires of the people
oould be ascertained in a very short
itmo.
I make this suggestion, not perhaps
as being the best, but as ono method ;
will gentlemen move in the matter and
have their reports forwarded to this
place by the 20th inst.
Allow me to add that I have neither
children to educate nor property to be
increased in value, but have written this

The laying of the corucr-stono of the
monument to be erected in the Soldiers'
National Cemetery, situated on Hamp
ton Creek, and in the rear of the Chesa
peake Seminary, a vast hospital during
the war, whose wards materially con
tributed to swell the list of the Union
soldiers now interred within sight of its
historic walls, took place this afternoon
in the presence ot a large audienoe,
b(ought together from all parts of the

loooinotivcs and completely wrecking
the baggage cars. A colored lad from
this city who was enjoying a " free
ride " on the tank of one of the engines
was instantly killed, aud some of tbe
engine hands, a baggage mastei and
several passengers were more or less
injured. It is not likely that the col
lision was tho result of accident, but
who is to blame remains to be ascer
tained. The accident, delayed the train
coming south about two hours beyond
the regular time.
Yesterday a man, whose name we
did not learn, narrowly escaped being,
crushed :o death on the Lebanon Val.
lev railroad track, at the Market street
crossing. Whilo a number of cars were
uhiftfirt hn full from the icar
platform of one of them, and before he
had time to get off the track was struck
and knockod down by an approaching
car, which passed over his prostrate
body. The man was slightly bruised,
but sustained no other injury. Had ho
fallen under the wheels, instead ot ou
the centre of the track, he would havo
b.'.en Rotionslv crippled, if not instantly
killed.
