CHRISTMAS PRESENT. —No more appropri ate present for Christmas can pass between friends, and none that would be more highly prized than a "Photograph Family Record."' A MAN FIRED IRON.— On last Monday night Mr. Deremer, of Cumberland Valley town ship, came into town at a rapid rate in search ®f a physician, while dashing along the street, several soldiers attempted to halt him, he, however, paid no attention to their efforts, when one of them drew a pistol and fired upon faint, the ball whistling by his head. Two of the offenders were arrested and lodg ed in jail to await trial. Those indebted to us will bear in mind that Court week is an excelleut oppor tunity to discharge their indebtedness.

Friends, give us a lift. We need money. GOLD IS BEDFORD COCXTY. —The citizens of East providence township, this county, have been considerably agitated for several weeks in regard to the discovery of quartz, in iarge quantities, impregnated with gold. A company was formed several weeks ago, and went immediately to work to develop the matter. Since then, a second company has been organized, and is about commencing op erations. The general impression is that gold is to be found there, hut the problem is whether it is in paying quantities. We have had specimens of Ahe quartz exhibited to as. but we confess that we are not mineralogist enough to determine the va'ue or the class of mineral coutained in it. It is said that lead has been found in the immediate neighbor hood. These discoveries have been made on the line of the Southern Pennsylvania rail road, and if there is anything in them it will soon be demonstrated. If Bedford county, in addition to the many other valuable re sources, should add that of gold, then our hills have not been thrown up in vain. Let these discoveries be fully tested and the re sult communicated to the world at large. PBTERSOX'S MAGAZINE. —We are in the receipt of this popular Lady's Magazine for Decembar.

Hedf.rd Gazette. THIS ORPHANS' HOMESTEAD.— We have re ceived a circular signed bj Ex-Gov. James Pollock and others proposing the purchaser ot' a Homestead for soldiers' orphans. We recommend it to the attentian of the benev olent everywhere. They say : "The late struggle for the life of the Ke public is succeedea by many new and onerous duties. Oi these, one of the most impera tive is our care for those over whose pros pects orphanage has brought desolation and gloom. We know that many thousands of tho children of our gallant dead are now looking to the humane people of the country for that support which their fallen fathers would have given them. In behalf f these orphaned lit tle ones thus left upon the country's care, an Association, represented by the undersigned, has been organized to raise a fund to found an Asylum in a central locality. The Insti tution is designed to be erected, as far as practicable, by the Sabbath-schools of the land—a national memorial of our perpetuated In ion. "As a means of interesting the schools therein, they are furnished with photographic copies of the historic picture found grasped in the hands of the dead soldier of Gettysburg (Sergeant Hum is ton), together with copies of the beautiful song composed upon the touch ing incident—"The Children of the Battle- Field.'' Schools taking "shares'' in tha Homestead will receive, if desired, the value of their contributions in copies of these af fecting relics of the war. "It is proposed that each Sabbath-school contributing to the fund twenty-fire dollars, shall be said to hold one share in the Home, and shall be entitled to name one orphan for admission into it; as also to have one vote in selecting the spot where the Institution shall Stand —whether on Cemetery Hill at Gettys burg, or near Valley Forge, of Revolutionary renown. •'Our .Sabbath-schools are nurseries of pa triotism, as well as of piety. It is earnestly hoped that superintendents will promptly sec ond his appeal in behalf of the soldier's or phan. and as early as practicable have their schools to co-operate in our interesting, pa triotic and humane enterprise. • "But we must appeal also to the general public to aid our undertaking. Having al ready an available fund of twenty-two thou sand dollars ($22,000), we propose at once to receive orphans under the care of the Asso ciation in a temporary way in the city, until the fund may warrant the choice of the country site and the permanent erection of the Home stead/' SCHOOL REFORM, No. 4. Cl-IgsmOATIOK.—A WORD TO TEACHERS. Nothing can be more important in our un graded schools, than thorough classification, and yet, nothing has been more neglected. Without this, they can never render their full measure of usefulness. Hitherto, the varie ty of books has effectually prevented any thing of the kind. Now. however, Osgood's Spellers and Readers, Ellsworth's Penman ship, Brook's Arithmetic, Mitchell's Geogra phies, and Brown's Grammars are adopted in nearly all our districts, and arrangements have been made to enforce their exclusive use as soon as the seh ools open. We shall thus, at last, remove the great obstacle in the way of classification, except in a few districts w here directors, in defiance of the law. still refuse to establish a uniform series of books. If teachers make good use of the present op portunity, most of our schools can now be thoroughly classified, and the present winter will begin a now era in their usefulness. Bad classification, however, is sometimes caused not by variety of books, but by the careless ness or incompetency of the teacher and it is of this we wish to speak. The classification of a school requires the best skill of the teacher. Many fail in this important particular. If the teacher lacks judgment or knowledge of human nature, we can say little, here, that will aid him. He must peruse standard works, and study the subject as it is presented in the practical de tail of the school-room. We know of no Other way by which he can supply his defi ciencies. But the failure often results more from carelessness, than from ignorance on the part of the teacher. He, naturally enough, wishes-to gratify parents and pupils that should be excluded. In this way books of too hisrh a grade have been introduced all over the county. Schools are thus injured by multiplying classes, and pupils waste time in studying what they are unable to compre hend. Half the pupils in the county use readers of too high a grade. Those who should have the Second, have the third; those who should have the Third, have the Fourth; and so on through the series. Nearly every school has a class in the Fifth reader, when in truth there should not be a dozen Fifth reader clas ses in the county. Such a class should rarely be formed unless there are too many in the Fourth reader for one class. The Fourth read er contains enough to make good readers, and far more than most pupils will ever learn in the common schools. It should be remem bered. too, that the formation of a new j class is no trivial matter. Half an hour of the teacher's time is thus taken from the whole school and given to a few, not for a month or a term, but for years. What we have said of Headers, is true of other books also. There seems to be a mania for advance works. Pupils begin mental arithmetic with the large book instead of the Primary. Hundreds who are studying"Green leafs national"' will never know half that is in his "common school," or in Rays third part. The series now adopted consists of four books : The Primary mental, the ad vance mental, the primary written and the advance written. The great majority of our pupils require only the primary works . yet judging from the past we shall not be surpris ed to see nearly all buying the advanced works. Mitchell's Geographies are used. Nearly all had his large Geography and Atlas, the iuoot advanced and expensive work used as a test book in this country. There should not be one used in this county. No pupil learns halt that it contains, ihe primary and in termediate are all that we need. They con tain more than our pupils will ever learn. They are also cheaper, and in a more eouve eitt form. in Grammar, too, they begin with the big gest hook they can buy. They overlook the fact that they save money and learn far more by beginning with a primary book. Of the series now adopted the primary should be most used. VetT few will need the advance. VVt? bali never again have seh an oppor tunity to correct the mistakes referred to above. If the wrong books are once bought and used they can not be got rid of. Now, however, a new series is being introduced, and pupils should get such as suit their age and advancement. If others are brought to the school, teachers should see that they are promptly exchanged for the right ones. If we are ever to dc away with the wretched classification that has so long ruined our schools we must do it now. J. W. DKKERSON, County Supt. Ax ESSAY. —The following composition was forwarded us by William C. Riffle, under date of St. Francis College, Loretta, Cam bria county, Penn'a., Nov. 11, 1865. We recommend it to his many associates and ac quaintances here. He fully demonstrated his love of country by three years' hard ser vice in the Southern States, endeavoring to crash the rebellion: "Love of country is one of the noblest feel ings that animates the heart of man. It is a feeling thou should be cherished by every one. And dead must be the soul of a man whose heart has never beat with pride when he reads the history of his country. With a feeling of pride the native of this country says, I am an American. Look at the present condition of America and see what love of country has done. A few years ago very little was known of America, bnt now she stands foremost in history. No country can show a nobler his tory than this: and what has done it, I an. swer, love of country—that love that anima ted the hearts of men like Washington, Ad ams, Jefferson, and a host of others, to do and dare w hat they did. What kept up the spirits of his noble sons at Valley Forge, and in fact throughout the whole of that dark period known as the Revolution. It was that love that helped them to battle for free dom and justice. If they had not felt that feeling, to day America would be groaning beneath the iron rule of England. But, thank God, we are to-day a free and independent nation, enjoying liberty as no other nation doe 3. But every rule has its exceptions, and this one is not exempt. We have men in our midst who have not one spark of patriotism: men who have never felt that noble senti ment. But dark and narrow is the soul of that man who is dead to all the noble impulses of the soul, i can compare him to nothing but the miser whose God is goM. Arnold, the traitor was a man of t-Nat class, and what did he gain by it? Nothing but the abhor rence of all men: friends and enemies desert ed him. History tells us that he died in a garret in Ixindon, despised by all. Judas and Arnold were alike: one sold his God, the other his countrr: and I am sorry to say that we have men of that class to-day, but they will g down to their graves unhonored and unwept. Love of country is not a momentary feel ing: an impulse of the moment; but, as last ing as life. If it was an impulse of the mo ment, what would be gained by it. Go to his tory and see the many examples of its lasting character. When we are a distance from home, in a foreign land, then we feel the force of the instinct by which we are attached to it. When a man is far away from home, no tender assiduities of friends, no well known voice, no wife, or sister, or mother to sooth his sorrows or close his eyes in death, and none but strangers surround him, then does the love of country prove itself. We are assed what ties bind us to our native land. We may have some difficulty to answer this at first, but finally your answer will come, — my love for iny country. No matter what circumstances you are placed in your thought will instinctively go back to the land in which you lived and loved. What sustained the Union cause during the late war? Ask the soldier or the sailor and he will answer—the love of country. But now the war is ended and peace reigns throughout the land. Yet that spirit which filled the hearts of the sou of freedom sail remains, and shall, while America remains. And may the same noble feeling he transmitted to generations yet un born and may they like their ancestors, strike *or God, their country and liberty. '•Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own my native bind? Whose heart has ne er within him burned, As his footsteps he hath turned, From wandering on a foreign strand? If such there breathe, mark him well For hirn no minstrel raptures swell." CITY NOTICES.
