The Middleburg Post says a survey is now in progress for a new railroad from up through Freeburg to terminate somewhere on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. We copy the following report of a trial in Juniata county from the Mif flin town I ode pendent. Thar# was nothing whatever to show that this young asaa was connected with the misdeeds af his brother : Com. of Pa. vs. Adolphus F. A Inl ander. Charge— Forgery. I edict ment—True Bill. Plea—not guilty. A. F. Alexander, tb* defendant, in the summer of 1870 drew a note for five hundred dollars, payabieS month* after date, to the order of Cvrus AI exander aad Jamea Davis, which was discounted by Doty, Parker A Co This note was praaeatad by Jamea B. Alexander and tb* money received by him. This note was presented twice afterward* with the same names en dorsed but whea it came after protect in April 1871, for the renewal a third time, th* cashier, E. S. Parker, refua fused to renew wilkout additional an dorter*. Additional endorsements of William McMaaigml and Jamas B. Alexander were ftirniahcd, and *a these were gentlemen whoee financial standing waaaound, the note was re newed. The defendant aad tboee whoee names were endorsed were ail residents of Milroy and vicinity, in Mifflin county. Jamas B. Alexander was carrying note* in the same bank at the aame time tor largo amounts, which were eventually proteetod and on notice to endorsers were repudiated by them as forgeries. James B. Alex ander, aftar eluding the officers for a long lime was finally arreatod, tried, convicted and sentenced; but after sentence and before transportation, broke jail and escaped. The endorse ments oo this five hundred dollar note of A. F. Alexander were proved on this (rial also to be furgeriee. It was also proved that A. F. Alexander was employed in the store of Alexander A ('., at J/ilroy, but in what capacity it did not appear clearly whether as clerk or partner. At any rate he was selling goods. But it was shown that James B. Alexander did the eutside work ofthe firm, such as raising money Ac., end defendant alleged that the forgeries were executed by hie broth er James nod that be u innocent ot the same. The jury found a verdict of not guilty and that the county pay the coet of proeecutioo. ♦ ♦ For the Reporter. EDUCATION. Another error, and perhaps, a graver an* ia to consider the cultivation of the facul ties ef the mind subordinate to the acqui sition of knowledga The erronoousness of this idea is not so evident at first view, and this fact account* for it* almost uni versal acceptance arm ng our teacher* as well as the people in geaeral. The meth od of instructiee pursued ia moat of our achoola shows that it is ths teacher's chief aim to fill the minds of the pupila with an amount of facta, apparently regarding the minds* a mare receptacle, a kind of ftore heuaa for knowledge, instead of a living, inteligant agant whose facultiaa are te be draws out and developed by exercise. Pupila are required to take up eight to ten branchee of study simultaneously, and wt often observe little boys and girls slowly wending their way to tcboel burdened down by u huge pile of taxt-books, and if we would follow them to the school-room, we would, almost invariably, find the teacher assiduously engaged in pouring ir to their mind* a vast amount of dry facta in History or Geography, or requiring them to commit innumerable and in com preheneibla definitions in Grammar and Mathematics, without any particular ref erases as to method in study and instruc tion. This is a mistakes idea on the part of these teacher* a* to the object of educa tion. Its true end is not to make men "Walking Dictionarias," or "Reference Libraries," but to devalope tba faculties ef their minds so that they will become inde pendent thinker*. Knowledge is only a meant to tho training ofthe mind, it ia tba scaffold which ia used in building it up, and is valuable only in proportion as it is conducive towards that end. Neither ia a vast amount of knowledga and a high de gree of mental culture always ia ths same proportion. True, it is by a search after knowledge that we cultivate our faculties, yet this result does not alwnys follow a* a necessary consequanca. There are persons whose minds nre stored with n large accu mulation of fitcts, and still are not endow ed with any great intellectual energy, in our studies then, it is not so much tbo facte we want a* the training—the mental disci pliae which we have to undergo in sooking them. It is for this reason that pupil* should never bo told any thing which they can find out for themselves. They should be taught to rely upon themselves ia thair investigations of complaz problems. It ia thi* lava of overcoming difficulties that binds the mind oftha trua studant to ab struse principles of tcionco for days and weeks and causas him to rofusa all assist anca in analyzing thorn There ara a thousand things which wo might know by maraly inquiring of thosa around us or by refer in gto books, but wa would ratbor spend days, months, and oven years in dis covering for ourselves the few of them simply because it is more the exercise we need than the result itself and because of the satisfaction derived from conquering difficulties. Numerous quotations from eminent authors might be given to show, that in their opinion the superior end ia nut the acquisition of Truth, but the exer cise required in obtaining truth. Aristo tle says, 'the intellect is perfected, net by knowledge but by activity." Seotus of the school-men asserts that a man's knowl edge is measured by the amount of his mental activity." "Truth," says Von Muller, "is the property of Uod, the pur suit of truth is what belongs to man." "Did the Almighty," says Lessing, "holding in his right hand Truth, and in his left Starch after Truth , deign to offer me the one 1 might prefer-in all humility, but without , hesitation, I should prefer Search after Truth." And, says Malebrancbe, "If I ' held truth captive I would let it fly , in order that 1 might again pursue and capture it." Considering, therefore, men tal exercise the superior object in our edu ' cation, it is evident that such a plan of study should be followed, and such scion* , ces should be taken up as will call forth I the greatest amounj of mental activity. '• As to the method to be pursued in study, . volumes have been written, and in this f place only a few general bints will be giv " en. Illustrating these suggestions by ap , plying them to teachers and pupils, the >1 former should not be too anxious to assist f the latter at every little obstacle that may j * present Itself in their lessens, mental ef fort Is the object ef thair study, and diffi t unifies fbrwteh fog it $e ddegatetu. Ijfcn teachers chief tim mutt be lo eieite th tha interest* of hit pupils in thalr studies, and if successful in this, hit objtci it ac complished. Hooks, which profes* |to make study eaty. should be banished from tha schoolroom, for their authors wara la mentably ignorant as to the true object of education, They tee seamed to regard the mind as being a passive agent—a sheet of paper upon which tha instructor is'etpect •<l te make copious impressions of knowl edge with as little esertion on tha part of the pupil as possible It mighs be remark ed in this connection that it Is not tha targe number of branches pursued at the same time that secures the highest degree ol mental culture. It the mind attempts to prosecute 100 many different studio at ones, it becomes distracted, Mud that de gree ef } rotracied attention necessary to the succeaalul Investigation of complex subjects, can not be secured Were it not for the shortness of the school term so that some branches might be discontinued and aew ores taheu up, the policy of having pupils of our common schools study eight or ten different one* during a term, should be abolished. However, until school* are more properly graded aad term extended no improvement in this respect, perhaps, eais. be made Per under existing circum stances it it impotible to finish teveral, it any. branches of study, and it is highly important that a knowledge ef the rudi ment* at least of each mentioned on the teacher'* certificate thoulJ be acquired And, in conclusion, those sciences, a* before stated, should claim our attention mare particularly which demand the great est amount of mental activity. Taking this principle as aur criterion—remember ing also, that at different stage* of develop ment the mind has adapted to it different kinds of studies—it does not matter *<- muck after all whether we roan, with the Botanist the blooming Held* of Nature and examine rooU of vegetable* or, with the Linguist, pour over the musty volumes of ancient classic writers and trace the roots of verbs of Latin and Ureek , wheth er, with the Geologist, we descend into the profound**! caverns ofthe earth and there read in unmistakable characters the histo ry of her creation, or on the airy pinions ot Astronomy extend our flight athwart the blue vaults of heaven, reek out new plai-ets and compute their swift evolutions through the immensity ol space. I But the noblest subject for the investi gation of the human mind is the mind it 'self. There sre phenomena of human con sciousness which are but faintly under stood, and the speculations concerning their canse* and nature—ths hypotheses which are devised to account for them, ev •r have taxed the ingenuity ef the pio foundeet thicker* of both ancient and mod- I ent time*, and to the meditative Philoto pher. it shell ever remain an ineahautla bie field of labor and discoveries. For, in the World of Mind there are mountain* el truth that have never been scaled— depth* of mystery that have never been net ra ted. and ocean* to be explored where tail* never have been unfurled and bounded bj insurmountable barrier* ofthe Deity be yond which frail humanity must not ven ture.
