The Fostoria Foundling. —A few days ago
wc ptekea up a flollidaysburg paper, in which
it was stated that Miss Sarah Alcott, daughter
of a Methodist minister of Allegheny, was the
mother of the famous Fostoria foundling. We
published the statement as a sequel to what had
already found its way into the public prints, in
reference to this mysterious affair. The lady
alluded to (now Mrs.. Kearns) denies the state
ment in the following “pathetic” manner :
Editor Daily True Press-SirYou have done
me a desperate wrong, and haveeither ignorant
ly, or willfully lied about my fathejr. lam not
the mother of the Fostoria child, neither am I
the mother of more than one child, and that one
I did soy belonged to a doctor in Allegheny, I
never admitted that the one in Fostoria was
mine, for, according to Mr. Miller's statement
! it, was found on the third of February, when I
; was at home in my mother’s house, audio prove
this tact I can get twenty witnesses. This is
I more than 1 will bear, and 1 have seea misery
enough without ypu adding to my unhappiness.
Misery is only a word to some, but to nifi it has
been a terrible truth that I have had. to learn
day by day for the last three years ; it will not
make itself a places I cannot wear it as a gar
ment: 1 have mutinied against it wildly, desper
ately, with a passionate, fiery strength that you
could not realise. I have dashed myself against
my jrrisou walls—yes, and yet love tbe knife that
wounded me. Oh! why was I made strong
enough to live through it all, and give life to
one who must always bear the reproach of her
unfortunate mother ? Why shoulu I be tossed
upon a boiling seu till it stupefies into a calm
and leaves me a wrecked being upon the barren
desolate shore? Is there never any more sun
shine to fall upon my pathway? Am I still to
grope my way onward without one cheering
word of consolation, with no star to guide me
not even my daughter left me, but cruelly torn
from my arms and given to strangers, and whilst
my heart was bleeding from the wounds of that
cruelty, reproach and shame is pointed in ano
ther direction. 1 believe you to have a kind
heart, and that you have some sympathy for the
unfortunate, I then.solicit your favor in correct
ing this scandalous report, and save me the trou
ble of prosecuting you and others for using my
name in so scandalous a manner.
Allegheny City, Dec. 2
!’• S-—My father has his ordination paper or
certificate.
The Register of this week contains the
following item, which we commend to the care
ful perusal of all the boys into whose hands our
paper may fall:— - .
Bovs, po youixeae that !• — Andrew Carnegie
has been promoted to the honorable and respon
sible position of Superintendent of the Western
Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad I Only
a few years ago he wept into the service of the
Company in the capacity of an errand boy for
the Superintendent's office at Pittsburg. From
that humble .position to his present proud one,
lie has made his way with no other helps or in
fluences than a faithful and watchful regard to
the interests infers employers and a careful and
prompt disohargeof the duties of his place. He
has received thh rewordof‘ merit;—and his suc
cess issuch a striking incentive to dike conduct
on the part of all boys in all places that you
should never forget it. Be attentive, ;bc indus
trious. honest and faithful like Air. Carnegie,
and like him sooner or later you will get a rich
reward.
Kemembee the Pook.—“ The poor ye have
always with you,” was not loss an admonition
than a fact, when it dame from the lips of the!;
Saviour. It was intended for all tiinc, and cal
culated for to-day as well os two thousand years
ago. The poor we hare with us, and it is our
duty to provide for their wants and ;contributQ,
to their comfert. There is more dcstitutioiiAnd
suffering in our populous town than most people
dream of. '

The We a thee.— Very unpleasant, but never
theless quite seasonable, is the damp, muggy,
foggy weather which has been with os for Hie
last few days. Though just what we ought to
expect at this season ] of the year, it is uncom
monly hard to take, after the soft, hazy days .of
Indian Summer we have b££n enjoying. Satur
day, Sunday and Monday lost was all sorts.ex
cept s-unshine. Beginning with rain, then tur
ning to hail and sleet, and afterwards a fog
dense enough to hide the other side of town.—
How long this may continue we can’t tell, but
we hope soon to realize a sight of the clear skies,
and sharp, crisp atmosphere of December. -
j Arm Bbokex —On Thursday last, a young
man named George Eisenberg, in the employ of
Dr. Good & Gemmill, of this place, had his arm
severely fractured immediately above the wrist;
and his head somewhat bruised, by being thrown
from a horse and the horse afterwards falling
upon him, while riding through the farm of
Mr. Hutchison, a short distance below town.—
It appears that while riding past Mr. Hutchi
son’s house, a dog ran out at the horse and coni'
tinned in the .road before him until finally he
got detween his legs, throwing the horse down
and Eisenberg off and under him. *

JBST Wje copy the following article, (which
wo publish by request,) from the Democratic
Standard ot Nov. ; 9th. and would call the atten
tion of the School Directors to it. It is a fact
that school books are accumulating very fast,
and those who send children to school know how
expensive it is to supply them with the necessa
ry (?) school books. The Directors too, should
think of the teachers4-of how arduous their
task must be of classing their schools when
so many different kinds of books are introduced,
and. should tiy to; relievo them of this unneces
sary troiahlo: — i
? Money Expended for Schools.
Mb. Buiet — Sir:-— I desire to call your at
tention to* the faipt, (and 1 have po doubt but
■what you have already noticed it,) of the useless
expenditure of money annually for school books.
There is certainlyanreat deal of money unne
cessarily spent fi«bis purpose, and it should
not be so. It is a well known fact that the
country is flooded; with school books, and there
is no end to the i number of authors. Almost
every year a new series of spelling and reading
boohs, and Arithmetic, Grammar, or Geography
is published. Then it is the policy of the au
thor to have' them introduced into the schools.
It is a neui. book, And having “the advantage of
all the latp improvements of the day/' muat ne
cessarily supercede all others of the kind. In
order, therefore, to give a place to this aujteri
ot (?) arable, boohs that have been bought six
or eight mbnths agb must be laid on the shelf
No one will doubt, the propriety of renewing a
Geography Once lid five years ; because in this
fast age towns are. almost daily springing into
existence, .and in .our own country, new States
are being almost j annually admitted Into the
JJnion, W'W Tailrbads, &c., constructed, and
henco the' face oftho country changes. *|Jut
•Where the necessity of three or four different
kinds of Geographies in one school, as I know
to be the case in many schools in this County ?
F. U. Woelet, Principal. J
Ahead!
.Besides, it takes the time of the teacher—three
or four scholars In each class, whereas, if all
had the same kind Of books there need be but
one class. , . !
Bnt\hdw many different English Grammars
have we—and reading and spelling books ? I
fear this question ia hard to answer. lam glad
to say, however, that Grcenlcafs arithmetic is
rapidly gaining favor in the country, and is be
ing adopted every where by the School Direc
tors. I wish to see the day when as much can
be said of somebody’s Grammar. We have now
an English, grammar for almost every part of
and they all have their admirers. You,
"hear some who allege that Brown’s grammar is
the best ever written, and should be in every
school; others again will give all praise to Kirk
ham’s ; others to Bullion’s, Covell's, Smith's,
Murray’s, and a host of others. The Directors
should make a choice of one.of these and use it
exclusively for at least five -years—and a well
bound grammar will last a much Ipnger time,
with proper core. The same policy should be ;
pursued in regard to all the other books. By j
this means a great deal of money tnat. is now !
laid out for books can be saved and used in pay
ing taxes.
Again : if this method were adopted and
strictly adhered to, some books would answer
for several children, A for in
stance, when A. has finished it and ia about to
get one higher, wan-be laid aside for B. and C.,
tdnd so on. But where the books change every
year, ibis can not be done, for “the book A. had
at school will not do now—it is not the right
kind—the teacher says we must get Osgood’s
now, McOnffey’s are no longer in use.” Then,
if it .happens to be a new teacher, the old say
ing among parents, (and they are right too) is
applicable— =“a new teacher must have new
books!”
Directors should reflect upon this matter, ami
sooner they adopt a plan to stop this sys
tem ot new books being introduced annually iu
their schools, the sooner will the people cease to
grumble, and the common school system will re
ceive the praise instead of the curses of the peo
ple. Our colleges, and all the higher semina
ries of learning adopt their own books, and ev
ery. “Tom, Dick and Harry” is not permitted to
come with their new and improved books; the
Professors or those who have charge of the in
stitution will not countenance or encourage
