LVERT SATURDAY. —This Journal of choice

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.

THE DBSTBVCTION OF BASS.— Tb J Legislature

act.

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.

well worthy a perusal. In the field of fiction

QUWWWI DIE AND WANTED. OLD
Vl 'r ,UUU Merchants say: it is necessary to
quit business in order to settle up. That many
people ore so mcau. after you have credited them
that when you try to get your honest dues from
them, they will "shy off" and spend their money
or run up accounts at other stores, and you will
lose their custom.
I don't want to quit business, 1 must have mon
ey. I have been indulgent, I want every man and
woman who owes mo by book acct. or note to PAY
me now. I don't want them to act mean and
"shy off." Stand up to the counter like men, pay
if you can ;if you can't pay, settle someway. I
will sue only those who don't seem to want to" pay
and quit me because I dun them. Let all con
cerned call at once to settle. Thankful to a gen
erous public for their patronage. I hope they
will favor the new firm of HARTLEY A METZ
GAR, they will try to do right.
Respectfully

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.
