He traveled for a considerable length of time in Palestine and his lectures mid writings on the Holy land have been ex tensively published. He had quite a large number of friends and acquaintances in Bed ford, who, with us will mourn the loss of a good friend and faithful Christian minister. We call the special attention of our readers, and especially of School Directors and Teachers, to the communication of the county Superintendent in another column. Bedford county is at least half a century be hind the age, in her schools. The few town ships, that had made a commendable degree of progress, previous to the war, have been lagging since. Let all good citizens, laying aside political differences, exert themselves for their improvement. They can be mads efficient only by the co -operation of citizens, directors and teachers. Let it not be wanting.

The new cemetery has been commenced under favorable auspices, and may be made with a little energy very attractive.

For the Bedford Inquirer. SCHOOL REFORM No. 1. MESSRS. EDITORS: Our Schools have made but little progress during the past four years. The public mind has been too much occupied with drafts, bat tles and invasions to care much for their wel fare and improvement. Now however, the smoke of battle has cleared away. We have bright prospects ahead, and it is high time that school reforms claim some attention from the people and especially from School Direc tors. There is much to be done, and to be done quickly, or the schools will not meet the demands of the public. The school system itself is seldom to blame for the opposition it meets. On the contrary nearly all complaint grows out of a wrong administration of the system. Many reforms indispensable to its proper working have been earned out years ago in other parts of the State but here they have been entirely neg lected. Among the most important of these is that of UNIFORMITY OF TEXT BOOKS. The law requires Directors to establish uni formity of Text Books, just as imperatively as it requires them to lay tax and keep the schools open four months each year. If the law were strictly enforce 1 their neglect to do this would forfeit their appropriation, as sure ly as their neglect to keep the schools open four months ; and yet, in only three districts have we anything approaching uniformity. The evils growing out of this general neglect are incalculable. Among the most serious are the following: 1. The schools cannot be properly classified and an hour is often required to teach as much Geography, Grammar or Arithmetic as could be better taught in fifteen minutes if all had the same books and could be put in the same classes. In many schools half the teacher's labor is wasted in this way and yet parents seem not to understand why so little is done. In any ungraded school, thorough classifica tion is indispensable to success, but this is impossible without uniformity of books; and if parents send their children to school with all kinds of books and Directors permit them to do so, they should neither complain nor be surprised if very little progress is made. 2. Without uniformity, the expense to pa rents is much greater. Every new teacher when he finds that no uniform series is insist ed upon, naturally induces as many of his pupils as he can to get the books that he pre fers. This is done from year to year. The coming of a new Teacher is the signal to buy new books and throw others still unsoiled aside. It is not strange then that citizens complain of this annual drain upon their purse. If uniformity were established and insisted upon a book once bought, would be used until mastered or worn out, and in my judgement the aggregate expense to the peo ple of the county would be less than half what it is at present. 3. Whea all kinds of books are used iu a district, store keepers cannot tell what kind to buy to suit their customers. They some times buy aone at all and sometimes buy the wrong ones. In many schools pupils have been compelled to drag through the whole winter without proper books, because they could not be had in the neighborhood. If uniformity were established, dealers would know what to buy and customers could al ways be accommodated. It is high time that these evils be remedied. The reform will cause grumbling; but what reform does not? Nothing can be gained by delay; it must come at some time and why not now? Besides the complaint will be only temporary. The reform is always popular, as soon as it has been instituted long enough | to be understood. Teachers generally teach best from the books, that they are best acquainted with. Hence in selecting, such should be preferred, provided they possess equal merit. The books ased in the County Normal School are Os good's Readers, Mitchells new Primary and Intermediate Geographies. Brown's Gram mars, Brook's arithmetic and Ellsworth's system of Penmanship. Three-fourths of the Teachers of the county are best acquainted with these and prefer them. W. DICKEKSOX, County riiqierintendent. Bedford, Oct, 17, 1865. Ot K MrruAi. FRIEND. —T. B. Peterson and Brothers, Philadelphia, will publish from ad vance sheets on November 11th, "OURMI TI:AI.

In an address to the First District of Co lumbia Colored Regiment, which passed in review before him on the 10th, President Johnson said that the problem was yet to be solved whether the colored race could be in corporated harmoniously with the white pop ulation of the country, and iit case it could not he favored colonization. The population of lowa is 749,904, an in crease in two years of 48,000. Snow fell in Philadelphia on the 4th inst.

St. George Greniel guilty ot attempt ing the release of Rebel prisoners at Camp Douglass, 111., and conspiring to lay waste Chicago, and have sentenced him to be hung ; but the President has commuted the sentence to imprisonment for life at Dry Tortugas. It has been decided that commercial bro kers, under decision of August 18, are requi red to take out license from August 1, instead of May 1, at a charge of sl6 for the partial year. In Springfield, 111., a barber was lately fined SSO for shaving a gentleman in his private room on Sunday.

A collision took place lately between a ne" gro regiment and two white regiments at Pa ducah, Ky., in which seven of the former were killed and the balance driven into Fort Anderson. The banks and sand-bars of the Missouri Itiver, from Wyandotte to Leavenworth, are lined with the dead bodies of mules which have died in the Government corrals, at the latter place. Minnesota had 4,000 inhabitants in 1849; in 1859, 6077, and in 1800 170,000. The library of the Hon. Peter Force of Washington, the most valuable collection of antiquarian literature in the I. nited States, has been purchased by the New-York Histo rical Society. W. S. McCormick, inventor of the famous reaping-machine, died lately in the Illinois State Lunatic Asylum. In the diplomatic correspondence recently published iu reference to the Mexican ques tion, Mr. Seward, in a dispatch to Minister Dayton, at the French Court, says that "the destinies of the American continent are not to be permanently controlled by arrangements made in European capitals. A man who has been engaged cultivating the tea plant for several yc-ars in Georgia says tbat his plants gTow and do as well in that State as they do in their native country.
