Published by Ticknor k Fields, Boston, SAI.AR\- OF THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.— It is strange that citizens or directors should grudge their county Superintendent a liberal salary. His duties are laborious and im portant, and it is idle to expect any one to discharge them faithfully unless he is paid for it. Some of the candidates who will be l>efore the convention on next Tuesday, in their inordinate greed for the office, have oflered to take it at half the present salary. We trust that such quackery will not be per mitted to influence the minds of directors. Such an offer is prima facia evidence that he who makes it is either incompetent or means to neglect his duties. If the duties of the office are faithfully discharged such a salary will not pay indispensable expenses by nearly a hundred dollars; and it wilt be hard we think, to find anyone who is fool enough to suppose that these gentlemen propose to do the work and pay a hundred dollars besides for the luxury ol being County Superintendent He who takes the the office at such a price must either neglect his duties or lose money. It is not difficult to foresee which he will do. It will be seen by reference to the School laws (Old Edition Page 81, New Edition Page 127) that the salary of rhe County Superin tendent is not paid by the county nor out of moneys belonging to the county. It is paid by the State. It is a mere trifle to the couu -1 ty, hardly worth noticing at all. If the pres ent salary were reduced five hundred dollars, that sum would not be added to the State ap propriation coming to this county. It would simply remain in the general school fund and be distributed throughout the State in pro portion to the number of taxables. There are 642,29 1 taxables in the State. Dividing SSOO dollers among them gives each taxable. 00077. There are G. 037 taxables iu this conuty. Hence out of SSOO this county would get but $4.65. Thus it is, that to increase the salary of the county Superintendent of this county SSOO would only diminish the State appro priation belonging to the county $4.65. To diminish the salary SSOO would add only 4.65 to the appropriation belonging to the county Why then should we grudge a liberal salary? Our richer and more liberal neigbors will on next Tuesday vote their Superintendents fat salaries, just as they have always done before. These salaries we must help to pay even if we did not pay our own superintendent a single dollar. Under such circumstances it we should reduce our salary to a mere pittance, we should simply be laughed at for our stu pidity. But we have no fears of this, we feel confident that a man will be elected who is thoroughly competent, and who will devote all his time to the discharge of his duties, and that he will be well paid for his services. We print below the law with regard to the qualifications county superintendents elect must possess before they can be commis sioned: 479. Irreproachable moral character is es sential, and will not be dispensed with. This is as much a professional qualification of the teacher and of the officer who presides over teachers, as it is in any other profession. Habitual or frequent intemperance, gambling dishonesty, or any other immorality, that would degrade a minister of the gospel from his position, will prevent the issue of the commission of county superintendents. Suf ficient health and vigor of the body to hear the labors of the office are also indispensa ble. 480. The "literary and scientific acquir ments" acquired by the law , will be held, in all hereafter to mean sufficient scholar shipjto enable the applicant to give sound and thorough instruction in all the studies taught in every common school of the county, from the lowest to the to the highest? and conse quenty to examine teachers in any and all branches. 481. The "skill in the art of teaching," specified, will be held to embrace a sound knowledge of the theory of teaching, as set forth in the usually read works on the subject and "the methods thereof," (No. CLIV,) as practiced in good schools. 482. The "experience in the art of teach ing," demanded by the law, will hereafter be taken to mean actual epperience in teaching a common or other school, within the pre ceding six years, as a professional and not as an occasional employment, and for a suffi cient length of time to have imparted the req uisite degree of practical knowledge. 483. The evidence of literary acquirement will be the production of a full professional certificate, either from a county superinten dent in good standing, or a State Normal school—showing, however, the amount and kind of knowledge required by the best schools in the county, and obtained, not for the occasion, but iu the regular exercise of the profession: or, in the absence of a certifi cate, a special examination of the State .Su perintendent. 484. These qualifications will be required hereafter, whether* the applicant lias been selected by a county convention of directors, or is to be appointed by the State Superinten dent. "We published last week an Act which passed the House of Representatives during the session now closed, l'or the adjudication of military claims, which reads as follows: "That the provisions of the Act for the adju dication and payment of certain military claims, approved April 16, 1802, and the sup plements thereunto, be extended so as cover all species of claims enumerated by said Act and its supplements, that may have arisen subsequent to the passage thereof.' It now appears, that by some unaccountable oversight the Act was lost sight of and was not acted on by the Senate. This probably occurred during the confusion of adjournment and the consequence is the bill fails to be come a law for the present. It will no doubt be adopted by the Senate early in the next session.— Huntingdon Journal k American. For the purpose of getting our Huntingdon cotemporary and many of the friends of the bill in this county "out of tbe woods" in re gard to the failure of the bill above alluded to we would inform them that the Senator from the county of Indiana, chairman of the committee on Military affairs, or claims, (oue or the other, we dont know which, nor does it make any material difference as it was suf ficient for his purpose that the bill was re ferred to a committee of which he was chair man,) defeated it by virtue of his position. He pocketed the bill, and kept it securely refusing to produce it until within two or three daysof the adjournment of the Senate when he reported it with a negative recom endation. It was then entirely too late to secure its passage over the negative recom mendation. We are informed that Gen. Whte is solely responsible for its failure. The General is au aspirant if we are not mistaken and the good people who had scores of horses and other property taken over in this district will remember him when the time comes. TflEAt'T FOB THE PREVENTION OF S S.I NINO AND THE DBSTBVCTION OF BASS.— Tb J Legislature at its last session passed the followingact pro hibiting Seining and the destruction of Bass fish in the waters of the Raystown branch of the Juniata and its tributaries We would exhort all real sportsmen to see that the law is rigidly enforced: AN ACT To prevent fishing with seines and to protect Boss fish in the llaystown Branch? of the Juniata river audits tributaries. Stt 'fiox 1. Ik it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same: That from and after the passage of this act, it shall not be lawtul for any per son, or persons, to fish with seines in the waters of the Raystown Branch of the Juniata river and its tributaries, under such penalties as are hereafter provided. SECTION 2. That it shall not be lawful for any person,or persons, to cause the destruction of any Bass fish. in said waters, by reason of the erection of any dams or fish baskets or by the setting of any dip or set nets, or by spearing or angling for said Bass fish for the period of five years from the passage this act. SECTION 3. That any person wilfully viola ting any of the provisions of this act, .shall forfeit and pay the sum of ten dollars, for each and every offence, the same to be recov ered before a justice of the peace, by an ac tion of debt in the name of the Common wealth, with costs of suit, and to be appropri ated to the school fund of the districtin wkich the offence shall have been committed, and the prosecutor thereof is hereby made acoua petant witness upon the trial of said case. THE PRINCESS ALEXANDRA'S CHRISTMAS GIST. —An English paper tells us a little sto ry of the Princess Alexandra, which admira bly illustrates her domestic habits, her amia ble disposition, and kindness of heart. Cross ing the hall of Marlborough House late one afternoon, a few days before Christmas, Her Royal Highness observed a young girl of sin gularly delicate and refined appearance, wait ing, and also standing, though evidently fa • tigued and faint. The Princess kindly told her to sit down, asked her errand, and discovered that she had brought some little garment which had been ordered for the children, and which the Princess, who is much interested in Sewing Machines, and understands their merits, had desired should be made on the Grover k Ba ker Machine- Interested in the modest intel ligent appearance, and gentle maimer of the girl. Her Highness desired her to follpw her to her room, which she did, without the re motest idea who the beautiful condescending lady was. After an examination of the articles, the Princess asked who it was had executed the work ? The girl modestly confessed that she herself had done the most of it. Ihe 1 rin ccss said it was done very nicely, and finally drew from her protege the simple facts of her condition ; how she had an invalid mother, whom she was obliged to leave all alone, while she went to the shop to work ; how the fash ionable rage for the Grover k Baker Sewing had suggested to her to become a finished op erator on the Grover k Baker Machine, with the hope ; oh! very, very far distant, that some time she might own a machine oi her own, and be able to work at home, and earn something more than bread for her poor sick mother. The Princes* rang the boil, ordered a bot tle of v. ine, some biscuit aud oranges to be packed and brought to her. Meantime she had asked the wondering, bewildered child, for she was little more, where she lived, and took down the address upon her tablets with her own hand. She then gave her the deli cacies which had been put into a neat little basket, and told her to take them to her mother. On Christmas morning, into the clean apartment of the invalid mother and her as tonished aud delighted daughter, was borne a bandaome Sewing Machine, with a slip of paper, on which were the words: "J Christ mas Gift, from Alexandra.'' —Boudoir. THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY VOR MAT.— The contents of the May number of the Atlantic Monthly are of varied interest. "The Harmonists." by the author of "Life in the Iron Mills." is a sketch ot the village of Economy ; founded by the followers of Rapp, on the Ohio, early in this century. A slight thread of fiction connects the different facts of history and description. "Abraham Davenport" is a poem by Whit tier. Miss Field's recollections ol "The last days of Walter S avn g e Landor" ate continued, and this instalment is full of desultorv anecdote of t he old poet, whose opinions of Shelley, Mil ton, and Dante. are given as he expressed them in conversation. "To-morrow" is a sonnet by Longfellow. Five chapters of "Doctor Johns" follow , and tbe story draws near its conclusion. The "Passages from Hawthorne's Note Book" are of special interest on account of the glimpses given of the life of Hawthorne at Brook Farm, and the reader will find in them the original sketch of one of the most beautiful scenes of the Blithcdale Romance. Tn "The Fenian Idea." Miss Frances Pow er Cobbe touches upon the grievances real, and imagined, ot Ireland, and shows that the Fenian Idea is based altogether upon the lat- Mrs. Stowe, in the fifth "Chimney-Corner' paper, discourses of "The Sources of Beau ty in Dress." "Edwin Booth" i 3 a close and critical study by Edmund C. Stedman, of the great actor's genius. Mrs. Akers contributes a poem entitled "Among the Laurels." An instalment of Mr. Reade's "Griffith Gaunt" follows ; and then we have a plea for return to specie payments, by E. 11. Derby in the article entitled "\\ hat will it cost us . This is a very careful paper, andbases its rea soning upon the facts and figures ef the L ni ted States Revenue Commission. '•Mephistophelean" is a brieflittle satiric al paper by Chas. J. Hprague. "Mr. Hosea Kiglow's Speech in March Meeting," is the title of a pungent Biglow Paper, by James Russel Lowell.

B I,ACKWOODS' MAGAZINE for March -is on our table. To American readers the most in teresting portion of its contents are "The Po sition of the Government and their Party," and "Reform of the Bank of England." The former, as showing the spirit in which the Tories discuss the conduct of the Govern ment under the management of the Liberals; the latter as showing the defects of the present English Banking system and propo sing reforms, is interesting to all concerned or interested in monetary mattersasour mon netary system is more nearly allied to the English than any other ; both articles are well worthy a perusal. In the field of fiction Miss "Majoribanks" and "Sir Brook Foss broke" afford amusing and interesting read ing, to which we might perhaps without im propriety add "Memoirs of the Confederate War for Independence," "A Religious Nov el" and "Part XVII of the inimitable "0,- Dowd," papers make up the number.

Tbe Grotcr and Baker Elastic-Stitch sewing Machines are superior to all others for the follow ing reasons: 1. They tew direct from t ie spools, and require no rewinding of thread. 2. They tire more easily understood and used, and less lit.ble to derangement than other ma chines. 3. They are capable of executing perfectly, without change of adjustment, a much greater variety of work than other machines. 4. The stitch made by these machines is much more firm, clastic," and durable, especially npon articles which require to b-s washed and ironed, than any other stitch. 5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which ftie under thread is inwrought, is much the most plump and beautiful in us-, and retains this plumpness and beauty even upon articles frequent iy washed and ironed until they are worn out. 0. The structure of the seam is such that, though it be cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitches, it will neither open, run, or ravel, but remains firm and durable. 7. Unlike other machines, these fasteu both ends of the scam by their own operation. 8. With these machines, while silk is used upon the right or face side of the seam, cotton may be used upon tbe other side without lessening the strength or durability of the seam. This can be done on other machine, and is a great saving upon all articles stitched or made up with silk. These machines, in addition to their superior merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of adjustment, easily learned and practiced, execute the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and ornamental work.
