GREENE-VALE Farm (Broad Top), Fob. 9thi1.857 Editorof the Globe: This dreary, drizzling weather, drives one's thoughts indoor to busy themselves with occupations that cause us to I forget the dim day, without. Such rainy spells were the most comfortable of our school boy time. When there was no bright side to creation to be seen from the schoolhouse windows, the interior , wore a cosy look by contrast, and books and slates were mentally voted not such bad things after all. So we of old Morris township used to feel, in' that " Lang sync" when Dudley Burnham swayed the imperial rod. That was before Thad. Stevens had carved out the Free School epoch, while the three r's (reading, 'riting and 'rith metic) were taught us by 'subscription. With'the new system, many a new school house has grown out of the ground, and there are now few children of ten, within the bor ders of old Huntingdon, who have not learn ed at least to read. The young Dudleys, too, are better drilled in their profession; and in the vicinity from which this is written, Cass link Seminary is sending out graduatesyearly, well prepared for their arduous, honorable Yet in all the hundred schools of interior Pennsylvania which I have bad the honor of visiting during the past season, there is man ifest room for improvement before they reach the New England standard. It may be hu miliating to acknowledge this, but to know it is the first essential toward bringing about changes for the better. Pew of our teachers are qualified to give instructions in vocal mu sic, map-drawing is seldom taught, and in no school were cards distributed for drawing to charm away the restless hours of younger pupils. In. some districts, too, I came upon vestiges of ancient barbarism that might well have astonished an older traveler. The big boys of a certain village school in Blair county, that I wot of, still keep up the Christmas cus tom of " barring out"—and all for the sweet reward of a stick of candy. As might be in ferred, they are blessed with a pedagogue to match the population. Duringthe Christmas holidays of 1855, this said school being as sembled inside of the house, while the master was detained by force of circumstances on the outside, said pedagogue, not being able to " hold himself," threw a stone as big as his head, at the aforementioned house, which went crashing through the window-sash, and grazing the heads of -two little children, roll ed on the floor amid the group of dismayed rebels. The same individual since, getting into a wrangle with his preacher in church meeting, upon being accused of peculation, flung a book (the bible) in the preacher's face. Yet, notwithstanding these and many similar displays of violent temper, this person is re tained in his place as an instructor—and that without acquirements which fit him properly to take charge of a primary school. It is well known to the community in which he lives, that he commenced the study of English Grammar but little more than a year ago.— He had previously considered that branch a " toploftical" accomplishment. He is, how ever, paid high wages as "Principal," and a competent " - Assistant" or two are employed, who hear all the higher classes recite. When itssistauce cannot be had, the " University" suspends—and, for obvious reasons, it has been found difficult to procure aids of the right kind. The chief employment of this worthy Principal is to whip, which he fre quently does by classes, and he has been known to put more than a hundred pupils through the flint-mill in one day. The reason assigned to me by one of the I:nrectors , for keeping such a fellow employed was, that he and the schoolmaster were members of the same church, and therefore he felt bound to aid him. That Director deserves to be placed on a par with another, whom I discovered in Huntingdon county, who seriously inquired, whether William Penn was a Quaker ? These cases are mentioned without name or place, leaving those to wear the shoe whom it fits. Such directors and schoolmasters are to any community like self-righteousness— the more they have of them the worse, off they are. - As a. "silver lining to the cloud," Catharine township in Blair county deserves honorable mention. Two of the Board of Directors, alternately, visit each of their six schools once every week. The buildings are well lighted, ventilated, and entirely comfortable —one in particular which I remember is beau tifully frescoed. And there is an association of parents and other friends of education, who meet at short intervals, to discuss the different modes of teaching, and to consider what measures may yet be taken to inspire the children with stronger love of knowledge. Thus nobly, like the "wise Bereans," do they reason together. That neighborhood, Imu proud to add, is my native home. May the sunlight of yet brighter and broader intelli gence rest upon the old valley in all coming years I These few plain facts have been stated, Mr. Editor, in the hope of doing good. It .is pleasant to point out objects worthy of praise. It is also painful to call public attention to shameful abuses of the school system which can yet be corrected in no other way. We should regard the Common School as the very palladium of our country's hope—for it is that. And the hiss of merited scorn should follow those official gentlemen who, in some places, are contributing to its downfall. With respect, yours, MAX. GREENE: P. - S.—Those who reason from cause to effect may he interested to learn that a dele gation of upwards of eighty persons were in attendance at the late session of-the Blair county Court, from the single school district in which they keep the savage master. M. ' N. B.—A larger number attended the No vember court. " M. G. [From the Picayune of Feb. 4th.) " Shocking Tragedy In New Orleans. Last evening, a female with a .quick step and a flushed face, might be seen moving hurriedly along Calliope street, and when near . Tehoupitoulas, she turned into a house, which, in a moment after, was the scene of a Most fearful tragedy. The woman was Mrs. Mary Cull, and the house 'she entered was the temporary abode of her husband and her husband's alleged paramour, one Margaret Kelly. As Mrs. Cull entered the house, and attempted to pass into a rear room, in quest of fier husband, Margaret Kelly sprang before her, and grasped her by the throat, and as she did so, Mrs. Cull drew a knife, and plunged it into her heart, thereby kill ing her on the spot. Thereupon a. citizen, Who was attracted to the spot by the noise ;If the occurrence, entered, and seeing Mrs. Cull standing over the prostrate body of her victim, took her into custody, and conveyed her to the First District Lockup. Subse quently, a woman named Margaret Clark was arrested as an accessory to the murder, but in what manner she was accessory we have not heard. Wo may perhaps obtain further facts when the Coroner's inquest is completed. According to Mrs. Cull's statement, she and her husband resided at St. Louis, and he, being a brick-layer, came to this city about three or four months ago in search of employment, While here, he became ac quainted with Margaret Kelly, and at length it was rumored that an improper intimacy existed between them. Mrs. C. then pursued her husband to the city, and finding him re pentant, she forgave him for his past trans gressions, and they went to live in a house on Durades street. Recently the husband made a trip on a boat, and on his return he went to his wife's residence, and stopped with her one night. The next day he left her, and she learned that he had renewed his intimacy with Mar garet Kelly. After waiting two days for his return, the enraged wife v , ent in pursuit of her husband, and the bloc, ly issue thereof we have already stated. The prisoner does not appear in the least to regi:.t the bloody business in which she has been eeP.:aged. QUARREL BETWEEN THE KANSAS An. COM -IHTTEES.—There is a highly interesting qut.,r rel going on between the National and State Central Kansas Aid Committee, concerning the management of the funds contributed for the relief of Kansas. Irregularity, bad faith, incompetency and private corruption form the staple of the charges on both sides, and if we are to believe half that is said, the greatest service that can be done for 'Kansas, is to relieve her from further intermeddling by these self-constituted committees. Dar The Mormon country _and the Mor mon manners do not seem to please all who emigrate to. that territory. An Englishman publishes in the London papers, his six years' experience among the Saints.

Books upon almost every other subject have been circu lated among the people, except those relating to the very interesting and important one of Natural History. The books which have heretofore been published on this sub ject, have been adapted to mere children, or to those who made it athorough study. Hence, very few of the millions of readers in this country have, within their reach, any thing satisfactory _upon this subject. This indicates a great and an obvious Nrant, as no subject is more intensely interesting, and none more improving, than that of the living beings that people the globe.

By S. G. GOODRICH, author of several worksofllis tory, 'Peter Parley's Tales,' &c. It is believed that the iove work win' lie very accepta ble to the American public. It is the result of years of toil and labor, assisted in his researches by several scholars of known ability, and has been got up at a great expense by the proprietors. No pains have been spared in the ex ecution of the Illustrations and naps, which arc prepared expressly for this work. Indeed, all the other historical writing of Nl. Goodrich, sink into insignificance, when compared. to - this, the result of his riper andmaturer years. It is admitted that one hundred dollars could not purchase the same matter in any other shape, awl the publishers confidently expect, in consideration of the great literary value of the work, the large suns expended in preparing it for the press, and the exceedingly moderate price at which it is offered, that it will be favorably received by every lover of good books. Iklany of our first scholars, di vines and gentlemen, who have examined the work, havei given it their unqualified approbation and commendation, which it richly deserves. uxironn umtn, riucEs In one volume, Turkey Morocco, Marble Edge, Gilt tack and Sides $6,00 In one volume, Turkey Morocco, Marble Edge, Full Gilt 8,00 In two volumes, Turkey Morocco, Marble Edge 7,00 In two volumes, Turkey Morocco, Gilt Edge and Full Gilt Sides- 10,00 Iu two volumes, Full, Ileavy Stamped Cloth, Sprink led :Edge ' 0,00 Many of our Agents having been told when soliciting subscribers, that this work would soon be sold in Book stores, and at a reduced price, we hereby give notice, as Sole Publishers of it, it will not he sold in Bookstores at any price, and will ho offered by our canvassing Agents only, who have the sole right of sale in their respective districts, except that where we have not appointed an agent, will send copies by mail, postage pre-paid, to any pastor the 'United States, 'upon receipt of the retail price.
