We have recently sent out a number of bills, and we hope all these persons will make it convenient to bring the amounts or send tbem to ns. To others to whom we have failed to enclose their accounts, we hope they also may come for ward and settle. The sums generally owed us are small, from $1 to $2O, and nearly every one ci-n make it convenient to pay. vVe have recently purchased a property to which we expect to remove in the spring, and we have a payment of neatly $l,OOO to make. Onr friends will thus see that we are in earnest and actually need our money. We do not wish to bring suit against any one, yet we are afraid if this request is not complied with we will have to do so. Please call and see us at any rate. OUR NEW SCHOOL HOUSE. A few days siuce we visited the new Sohool House, recently erected by the school direct ors of this borough, for the accommodation of the common schools of our town. It is a fine building, both in appearanee and fiuish, and in a most beautiful lot of about two acres, in the southern border of the town. For many years past the children of our goodly borough have been 6toreda*ay in damp basements of church es, and rickety excuses for school bouses, and the schools themselves were conducted upon such an old fogy and ineffectual plan, or rath er want of plan, that the whole common school system was beginning to be considered by ma ny of our citizens, as a nuisance. All saw that something must be done; but there was much difference of opinion as to what it shonld be. All agreed that better accommodations in the way of new school houses, must be pro vided, but great diversity of views existed as to the proper plans. Somo were in favor of erecting several new small houses in different parts of the towo, whilst others advocated one large new building to accommodate all the children of the towo, and permit of convenient grading and classification of all the scholars. After much agitation, and several public meet ings and disenssiona on the subject, the latter plan was adopted, by a pretty decided majority of the voterj, and Directors elected on two different oocasions, with direct reference to carrying out these views. Our new house is now completed, and whatever difference of opinion there may have been, or may yet be, about the propriety of the plan, we think there is little, if any, room for exception to the manner in which the directors have carried it into execution. The contracts were let to the lowest bidders, and the work allotted to our own mechanics. Messrs. Lessig and Lynch found the materials for and pnt up the brick and 6tone work, and Mr. John R. Jordan had the coDtr&ct for all the remaining parts of the building. The plan is very neat, and the building substantial, and by odds the best looking building in town. We understand that the building alone cost about eight thous and dollars, the lot five hundred, and that the furniture, grading and paving will cost not less than another thousand. This is a large sum of money for so small a town as ours, and some three thousand dollars had to bo borrow ed; but wc understand that the direotors ex- j pect to be entirely clear of debt in three years. ; Some of our citizens think our direotors might ! have prepared the necessary accommodations at less cost, and perhaps they might; and yet ' wo are not sure that they have not acted wise- ! iy, aud for the bent interests of our children j sod the cause of education. We have now a building eighty feet front, (including two wings for ennanet-c of ten feet each,) fifty-four feet Jeep, auii two stories high, each story fourteen feet high. There arc four rooms on the lower floor, each tw&ntf-fiva by thirty feet, and on the second £tofj lucre are two rooms of the ratne size, aud cue large elegant room, twenty ave by sixty feet. Thesa rooms are all fitted up with hirge aud first class blackboards, and means of ventilation, and the furniture is be ing placed in tbem. The school opened on last Monday, under the superintendency of Mr. J. W. Pickersen, a graduate of tbe Lan caster County Normal School, assisted by Misses Ford, Montgomery and Bollinger, of our place. The attendance on the first day was two hundred and eleven, which will prob- ; ably be increased to two hundred and fifty.— j Tho building is not only large enough to oc- i commodate all the scholars, but by judicious arrangements, will afford sufficient room for at least half as many more, and enough for our borough for many years to came. Whatever diversity of opinion may have heretofore - ex isted, we hope all will now unite in sustaining tbe school, and thereby make it what it was designed to be, a blessing to our ohildren, not only for the present, hut for generations yet to come. As a citizen of Bedford, we feel proud of cur new School House, and doubt wheibcr there is another town in the State anything near our size, which can show as fine school accommodations. The Superintendent comes highly recommended, and we hope he and his associate.^ may be able to demonstrate the su periority of the associated and graded schools, on the new plan, and fondly trust that the ex pectations cf the most sanguine friends of this liberal and patriotic undertaking uiay be fully realized, and that the resulting blessings of a liberal education may be enjoyed and experi enced by our children now, and for generations yet to come. The last Gazette bas an article io which it places black lines around the names of four Penn sylvania members of the People's party in the House ot Representatives at Washington, who had voted for Smith, and changed their votes to others. The whole Locofoco party in the House did the same thiDg. They voted for Millson and other Loeofooos for Speaker, and changed to Smith! If one partf had a right to do so, so had the other. Mr. Smith failed to answer these questions "In the event of the election of a Republican, this year, would you consider it a sufficient cause for the disso lution of the Union?" "Do you believe in the Southern democratic interpretation of the opin ion expressed by a majority of the Judges of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case?"— "Are you in favor of re-opening the African Slave Trade?" Mr. Smith would not answer theee questions, and Morris, Junkin, Wood, and Soranton, did right in deserting the Locofoco party's, and the Gazette's Southern Old Line Whig Know j\othmg candidate! But we have no doubt they would feel awful bad , if they would see our britfl-ss friend's paper of last week, and especially since they have elected such a good Tariff People's party man, as ex- Gov. Pennington, as Speaker. 1 lie Tariff Resolutions. We stated last week that the Tariff Resolu tions which we published, passed the Legisla ture, and that Mr. Schell voted against them. This is an error. We were led into this mis take, by seeing it stated in a number of papers that they had so passed, and that all the Loco focos voted against them. The facts are these. The Resolutions have paused the House, and every American and Republican , iu that body voted foi them,and every Locofoco voted against them ! They have not yet been acted upon in the Senate. But we doubt not Mr. Sohell and all his Locofoco colleagues will vote agaiost them, as did the Locofocos in the House, UD less our article shail have the desired effect upon Mr. Bchell, and cause him to vote for them. Locofoooism in Pennsylvania always prolesses to be in favor of a Tariff, yet when the opportunity occurs, they vote against it.— It was a Pennsylvanian, Geo. M. Dallas, who by bis easting vote struok down the Tariff of 1842, and adopted the British Free Trade act of 184G, from which has sprung the present har d times. ff2r*"Just as we were going to press, we received .the news that Mr. Pennington, Old Line Whig, of New Jersey, was elected Speaker. Tu.s is a killing blow to Black Re publicanism."—Gazette. Mr. Pennington voted for Sherman, all the time he was a candidate. Pennington was one of the faithful, who coil.'d not bo swayed to the right or to the left. Certainly, this is a "killing blow" to the uiggerits disunion Loco focos.

THE ELECTION OF SPEAKER. The long agony is over. When the House met, it was evident the disposition the of Demo cratic side was filibuster, notwithstanding the agreement yetterday that a vote should be had j without unnecessary delay. Mr. Burnett, who bad made the proposition, interposed, and tem porarily arrested this spirit, and a ballot pro ceeded. Various members explained their votes, and others changed for the purpose of speaking. Mr. Barksdalo made a desperate effort to rally a union on Mr. MoOlernand, but Messrs. Mollory and Gilmer demonstrated that a cooibiaed Democratic and American vote oould not elect. After tedious and dilatory \ progress, the roll was finished, and Mr. Briggs, ! who bad voted for Mr. McClernand, changed ' to Mr. Pennington, thus consummating an electioa. Mr. Kiggs, who promised to change, did Dot. \Y hen the result was announced, the galleries rang with cheers, but uo demonstra tion was made ou the Republican side of the floor, lbey bore the triumph becomingly ' At this moment, Mr. Hiudaian of Arkausas rose to speak, and was restrained with much : difficulty, to allow the Speaker to be sworn in. * Even alter their defeat, the Democracy were unwilling to submit, and oonfueion prevailed in the bali for several -ninnies, until Messrs. Bo- • BEDFORD mdUIRER. cook and Sherman escorted Mr. Pennington to j the chair. The Speaker said : Gentlemen of the House of Representatives ; 1 return to you my grateful aokuewlodgmcnts for the distinguished honor you have been I pleased to confer upon me in electing ine the j Speaker of this House. Oomiug here for the i first time at the present session to be associated with you as a member, no event could have been more unlooked for than that I should be oalled upon to preside over your deliberations. Aud uiy friends will do mo the justice to say that I have not sought the position, as I cer tainly never desired it. I am nevertheless as conscious of the dignity and importance of this high office as any gentlemau can be : but should have been better pleased bad its duties been entrusted to other and more experienced i bands. Afier witnessing the utmost insurmountable obstacles in tho way of the organization of this House, i came to the conclusion tbst any I gentleman of any party who could command a majority of votes for Speaker were bound, in deference to the public exigencies, to accept the responsibility as an act of patriotic duty, whether agreeable to his present feelings or not. As that choice has unexpectedly fallen upon me, I have not hesitated to accept it. In the execuiion of this high trust my object will be to do my duty with impartiality aud justice to all. 1 shall have great necessity, gentlemen, for your indulgence in the new position in which I am placed, and 1 feel entite confidence 1 shall receive it at y our bands, j A representative froui the State of New Jer j sey, on whose soil so iuaßy brilliant achieve ments were accomplished in the revolutionary war, and whose people have ever been distin guished for their devotion to the constitution and the Union, I pray the Great Arbiter of our destinies that I may do no act to impair the integrity of either, but that by a wise and prudent oouusel peace and order may yet reign in our midst, and our tree institution*be perpetuated to our desweudants. 1 feel I have a national heart, embracing all parts of our blessed Uuion. *—■ Again thanking you for your kindness, I now enter upon the discharge of the arduous aud complicated duties of my station. [Applause.] The House then adjourned till Friday. ELECTION OF CLERK AND SERGEANT AT-ARMS. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3, 1860. Mr. Sherman moved to proceed to the ejec tion of a Clerk, previous to whioh there was a call of the House. Mr. Schwartz (A. L., Pa.) nominated Mr. Forney. Mr. Smith (Dem. Va.) nominated J. C. Allen the late Clerk. Mr. Nelson (S. A. TeDn.| nomiuated Sam'l Taylor of Tennessee. Mr. Cobb (Dem. Ala.) nominated David E. L. Dawson of Alabama. The Speaker appointed Messrs.

Mr. Bocock (Dem. Va.) nominated the pres ent incumbent, Mr. Gloasbreuner, saying be was one of the best officers who had ever filled that place, and agaiost whom not a word of couipluiut bad beau made iu any quarter. Mr. Harris (S. A., Md.) nominated H. A. Hoffuiao of Maryland. Mr. Garnett (Dom. Va.) Dominated J as. C. Allen, who, he said, had been a steady and consistent Democrat, and had never voted for the exclusion of naturalized foreigners from the privileges to which they are entitled under the Constitution aud laws. He believed Mr, Hoffman was elected to a former Cougress by Koow Nothings, and supported all the pros oriptivc principles aod policy of the Know Noth ing party. [Cries of 'Order' from the Repub lican side.] He commended to the admiration of the couutry the fact that the party wbose ohief desire for organization was as their Mr. Sherman had asserted that they might expose tbo corruptions of the Administration, had in augurated their proceedings by electing as Clerk a man whom a Committee of this House has found guilty of malfeasance. [Cries from the Republican side, "Order."] Mr. Houston inquired whether Mr. Ilofftian was not nomiuated or recommended, as runor said, by the Black Republican caucus yester day? Mr. Grarnett thanked God that he was u*< a member of that caucus, hut he understood ;be fact to be as Mr. Houston had stated. He withdrew the nomination of Mr. Alien. Messrs. Bocock, Harris (Md.)

FIXITY OP TH6 P&OUD AND HAUGHTY DEMO CRATS AND DISCNI'ONISTS DOWN UPON THIJR MARROW BONES TO THE TWENTY-THRFE SOUTH AMERICANS O! R KNOW-NOTHINGS. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. 1860. The events in the House, yesterday, on the vote for Speaker, were fraught with instruction and surrounded with the most intense excitemsit uproar and confusion. The great scene can never be forgotten by the immense concourse of anxious lookers-on wlo had the fortune to witness it. Just at a time when the onoe powerful Ku'W Nothing party was on its last legs, and abrut to draw its last breath aad give up the ghoit, with but tweoty-three on tto floor of the House, the dictatorial, anogait, braggart, disuuion, fire-eating Democracy, k mous and furious in its tertible denunciation of the Know Nothing party and its principle, everywhere, in all sections of the Union, went down upon its marrow bones, in the persons of ninety of its representatives, and supplicated the Amerioau or Know Nothing party, with all its dark-lantern reflection, to suffer the oice boastful Democracy to yiaJJ up its own canlU (jutes and unite with the Know Nothings in vo tog for and helping them to elect, if possible, cne of their own party —one of the faction of twenty three— to the Speakership! Oh, it was i telhnir sight. What a falling off wis there, ny countrymen, when the ninety unwavering, inswerviug Know Nothing haters, dinuutouints, ire-eaters, Northern dough-faces, iuolnding John Cochran, Vallaudigham. Cox, English, ind Latrabce, all fell down upon their knees to he Know Nothing party, and begged the priv lege of voting for one of their men , and doiug their best to make hi to Speaker! When the vote for Speaker had been gone through with, but not declared, and about forty democrats had voted with the twenty-two Arnsr iuuua for Smith, Mr. Mallory, who had put bis friend Mr. Smith in nomination, arose und sug gested that if those Democrats who had voted against Mr. Smith, would change their votes and vote for biui, he would probably be elect ed. Now the great scene commouced—Democrats who bad voted for Booock snJ other Democrats rising oue after another, almost every one de fiuiug his position and endeavoring to give a reason for changing his vote, and looking, as if he felt conscious that be was stub yiug himself, and giving a vote which his constituents might not aud ought n"t to sanction. The disuuion ir.ts and fire-eaters were the first to make the plunge, aud they seemed to du it as if ihey Jelt sure that Smith would go for a Guugressioual taw to protect Slavery iu the Territories. After a while, John Cochrane, wLo had escaped from the fuli-dyed Anti-Slavery garments he was covered ail over with at the making of the Buffalo platform, addressed the House iu one of his rhetorical and persuasive efforts in praise of his faithful foreigu constituents, who would not conseut that he should vote for Smith, whose party proscribes foreigners. Ohors, ho vever, were not deterred by John's effort, and went ou defiuing tboir positions aud ehangiug their votes t.o Smith. Mr. Morris of Illinois, said bo could no* change his vote for Smith if the latter was a Know Nothing or au American, or if he was iu favor of the enactment of a law by Congress for the protection of Slavery in the Territories. He wished to put questions, directly to Mr. Smith ou the subject. Mr Clemens and Mr. Buructt earnestly objected to toe putting of auy questiunb to Mr. Smith. Several members de clared that Mr. Smith bad assured them tnat lie was uot auu never had been a Know Noth ing. About this most interesting and excited period, Smith was observed to leave the hail and repair to the cloak room, where he remain ed, s<> us not to he forced to answer until all the changes were ell got through with, and the result of the vote finally announced. But pre vious to this, John Cochrane made mother speech—figuratively got down upon his Laces and voted for Smish. Mr. Barr, his colleague, made two brief speeches about his foreign con stituents (for Buncombe,) iu the first of which he could not yet vote for Smith, in the last of which, he decided, as Mr. Cochrane and Mr. Sickles had done, he could—and so he did. THE SPEAKER. The Republicans have at length triumphed, and elected a Speaker. Mr. i > enuingtoa of New-Jersey, u well-tried Republican, who has voted unwaveringly for Mr. Shermau from the start, was elected yesterday on the first baliot by a clear majority. This iu just as perfect and complete a triumph tor the R< publicans as the election of any one of their number could have been. Mr. Shetojin was originally nominated aud sustained by them ou the ground that he was the best and strongest candidate, on the whule, that could be presented ; and he has been faithfully adhered to on that ground alone. But Mr. Sheimau himself, and the en tire Republican party with him, have always held themselves in readiness to unite ou suy other Repuhitcan, whenever one could be named, who stood a better chanoe of *D elec tion than the origiual nominee. During the progress of the long-pro,ranted ballotings, several conferences h ve been held to consider whether the emergency had come; but it never seemed to have arrived until within the lust few days. The last of the Republican conferences, hold on Saturday Jan. 28, deter mined that the time had at length arrived wheu more votes culd probably be polled for Mr. Penuiogtou than tor Mr. Sherman. When this conclusion was reached, theentiro body of the Republicans, without a break aud without hesitation, wheeled in solid column to his sup port, displaying the same unanimous and un changeable purpose that has actuated them from the beginning. We congratulate the country aud the Re publican party upon this most satisfactory re- MJII. It ends tue disorder that the Disunion Democracy have been creating and perpetuat ing, aud wiiich they have often declared tliey would make "eternal." The faciionists and the disuniouists are rebuked und defeated.— The House is organized, and public affairs may now receive the utteutiou so long withheld by this audacious spirit of evil, that has so perse venngly baffled all efforts to elect a presiding officer. Having done their worst, the factiouisis could do no more. That their nuehiuatious have at last been thoroughly defeated, and their traaoious purposes, avowed iu written contracts to prevent au organization, tiually quelled, is a subject for sincere puhlic rejoic ing. .Mr. Peunington wis elected to Congress by the People's party of New-Jersey, lits ante cedents are Whig. He he is a warm trieud of protection tn American industry, and holds with tenacity to the old fashioned doctrines cf Jefferson, Marshall, Tompkins, and Webster, upou the power and duty of Congress to inhibit Slavery in the Territories. Though he has held high public positions, haviDg been Chancellor and Governor of New-Jersey for six years, yet, doubtless, be has had less ex perience iu legislative bodies than auy man ever chosen to the Speaker's chair. Many years ago he was a member, for a single year, of the Lower House of the New-Jersey Legis lature ; and, as Governor, be was ex officio President of the Senate. Excepting, of course, Mr. Muhleuberg, the Speaker of the Firt Congress, and also Mr. Clay, ho is the first gentleman of the tweuty-six that have occupied the chair, who has been called to it on his first appearance in that body. Though Mr. Clay was ohosen Speaker of the XII Cougresa with out having previously held a seat iu the House, yet he had ofteu been a member of tbo General Assembly of Kentucky, had been its presiding offioer, and had served three sessions in the United States Senate. Mr. Pennington brings to the responsible position ho now oocupies a commanding pre- scnco, equanimity of temper, a genial spirit, undoubted integrity, fidelity to friends, liber ality to opponents, a clear and capacious mind, and extensive legal attainment*. 3y bis urbanity, impartiality, and weight of character, be will challenge the respect of the body oyer which be is called to preside. Nevertheless, he will need lbs support, not only of his fulit ical friends, but of all jhc conservative and order-loviDg members of tbe House, to enable tiiui to keep to its appropriate work one of the most stormy and wayward deliberative assem bles in tbe world. Of Mr. Sherman, who voluntarily yielded to Mr. Pennington, we have often spoken during the eight weeks of this protracted struggle Suffice it now to say, that throughout this long aud irritatiug contest he has borne himsell nobly sud well. 'lhe object of iucessaut abuse aud vituperation—ohirged with being tbe ac complice and abettor of thieves, inceudtaries, murderers and tiaitors—his election declared, in advauce, to be such a disgrace and outrage upon one seotiou of tho Union, that its repre sentatives would uever allow biin to occupy the Chair—he, all the while compelled, from the delioaoy of its position, to sit with closed lips, though well kuowing that be had the puw ei to repel those charges, and burl this abuse back imo the faces ol his traducei*—this wa oo enviable position to be occupied for two mouths by a gentleman of keen sensibilities, uuspotfed public aud private character, huo loreusio powtrs, and undoubted courage. Rut the eoutest ts at an cud. Mr. tSbeniisn will doubtless be placed at the head of the Committee of Way* and Means, a post for which he is uduiiiutly fitted, and will become the leader of the body over wbieh bo was so well qualified io preside. JV. Y. Tribune. For Me Inquirer. THE COMMON SCHOOLS. THE COUNTY INSTITUTE.—THE late rneet iug of this association was a very pleasant one, and also profitable to those who regularly at tended its sessions. It is to be regretted very inuoh, that so few teachers take an active in terest in these meetings. About one half of <>ur teachers appear to have no ambition to learn to teach, but to teach to learn, aud to make the schoolhou.se their schooluias'cr; and they seem to act as it the institute were only for the teachers who are perfect in their pro fession, and those who are a little behind had better stay away, lest they be called upon to participate; aud consequently tbey übsent themselves. Every te.cher who is ashamed to improve himself in his profession, had better absent himself from the sehoulbouse too. as teacher, but attend in the capacity of a scholar, for as teacher he will "kill up" a school; but as a scholar be may fill up a school; and though he may not be able to communicate, jet be may receive something, even should the receptacle be lower than the bead. All who turn a cold side to the means of their own improvement cannot be ruled out of the teachers' ranks anj r too soon. Ibe Institute was gotten op for mutual im pioveujout, and all certainly embrace the most favorable opportuuity of meetiug with their fellow teachers in conference, where each one eau add to his knowledge ftom the rich expe rience of the others; especially the younger portion, wiio have little or no experience of their own, and who, perhaps, have never read a single book ou the subject of teaching. In our neighboring counties every teacher feels bound to attend the Institute, but in our own, every teacher feels at liberty not to attend.— Should it be my good fortuoe to serve as Couu ty Superintendent auother term, I will issue a certificate to no teacher who is uuwilliag to spend a day or two in consulting with bis fel low teachers, how to advauce the best inter ests of the schools. Both the county aud dis trict Institutes have already done much in this respect, and should be properly kept up. i Lose twenty-fise or thirty teachers in at tendance at the last meeting, certainly deserve credit for their interest and energy, aud it may be, a few others also, whose heai ts are in the woik, but who were providentially prevented from attending; but certainly, tbe resolution respecting "live teachers," appended to an ab stract of the minutes of the association, which were published in the last week's paper, re flected discredit upon the "not live teachers." SUPERINTENDENT. For the Inquirer. A SENATORIAL SUGGESTION. Mr. OVER: —The coming campaign will prove one of the most important periods io the political history of the United States, and not only of tho Uuiied States, but of every indi vidual State, and as Pounsyl vanians, occupy ing the positiou ihat we do, we should be alive to every real interest, and advocate every tru ly advantageous principle, both in measure* and men. Political excitemeut will run high and hot; calm, sober men will Ice their wont ed calmness, aud dash into the arena of poliii cal quixotism; ibis wo all auticipate, aud this, Mr. Editor, is the cause that iuduces me, at this comparatively early day, to approach the subject that has suggested the present note. — 1 wish the citizens ot this Senatorial District to calmly and soberly weigh the claims of J. E. SATTEBFIJTLD, of South Woodbury Town ship. Mr. SatterfielJ is a man of undoubted abiii it V and integrity. He bas long been known iu this seosion of the District as a leader of the I Opposition, ever battling tbe sham Democracy, under whatever chameleon form it has been found sinoe the days of Jackson. True, Mr. bas never filled any important of fice within the gift of tbe people, simply be cause hi* virtuous modesty has ever forbidden bim to push himself into the arena as a politi cal aspirant. Through the auxioua solicita tions of his numerous friends, he allowed him self to be brought before tbe representative conference and nominated in '5l or '52, when there was no possibility of electing bim, county was ibeu unnueutud with Cambria) but simply to strengthen the local ticket; the par ty has it now in its power to repay Mr. Satter field for his magnanimous self-sacrifice, which I hope it will, by giving him the Senatorial nomination in the oooiing campaign, as no name can lend greater strength to our ticket io this county, than tbe name of J. E. Satter tield. You will confer a great favor upon a large □umber of your subscribers, by giviDg publicity to tbis suggestion. Your 9, D. E. D. WOODBURY, Feb 2. for the Inquirer.

Suddenly, in Rainsburg, Bedford County, Pa., ou the 30th ulf., Mrs. ELIZABETH, wife of Prof. E. 1. Osborne, and daughter of Jo seph and Sarah Mann, in the 30tb year of hec age. ihrough the divine blessiojj accompanying the instructions and example of pious parents, she was in early lifo made a subject of con verting giace. In her eleventh year she gave her heart to God, and her name to the Metho dist Episcopal (Jhuijh, from which time until the hour she was called to pass through the •'gloomy VH le," her profession was adorned by the brightest christian experience, and a lite of entire devotednes* to the cause of her Sa viour. From a child, her parents designed her for the profession of teaching, aod to pre pare her for this position, gavo her the best education,! advantages bcr native town could afford, until the year 1852, when she lett her father's home, and entered, as pupil and as sistant teacher, the Seminary at Cassville, (then under the superintendence of the Rev. R. Pierce, now missionary in Chins,) where she remained until she graduated. While there, her eminent piety and amiable qualities wou for her the love and esteem of all with whom she was acquainted. In the year 1857, she entered the Seminary at Kaioshurg, as Preceptress, which position she graced with honor and dignity until her death, seeuriug by her labors as teacher, and mild yet strict discipline as governess of the female department, the confidence and easur auco of both students and patrons. It may be truly said that by her death sci ence has lost a devoted follower, and the world the influence of a christian. She was married a little more than one year before her death, and leaves a kind and affeo rionite husband to oiourn his loss, but he is not fue only mourner; a very large circle of friends and acquaintances also felt the shock, and their hearts were made to bleed at hearing the sad intelligence. But we mourn not as those who mouru without hope. Though dead, yet she iives in the memory, and her pious christian example will continue to live in tho hearts of many. She died as she lived, full of faith and the Holy Ghost, and has gODe to join those bright spirits above, and unite with them in 9ongs of praise to the Saviour whom she loved. B. F. S.
