/*Jr - FANNY Frior, speaking of matrimonial advertise
ments, and women generally who show an anxiety to
_change their situations, says :
"No—never lot women be the wooers, save as the flowers
woo, with their sweetness—save as the stars woo, with their
.-brightness—save as tho summer wind woos—silently un
folding the rose's heart."
Fanny is about right in her preaching, but we are a little
dubiouaabout her practice.
t 3 Toucan u. TUE Itaw—The Altoona Tribune finds it
hard to forgot the editorial recreations of the "Iron Dem
ocrat." Although the Tribune "crabbed down" whilst the
native author was in the chair, since ho has ceased to edit
any paper, it has pusillanimously heaped six columns of
.personal abuao upon that gentleman. hope they feel
easier.

4igrSUITINCI THE ACTION TO THE WORD.—Tilero is a contro
versy going on in the columns of the Hollidaysburg, Regis
ter respecting the merits of the Forgemen's Aid Society.—
Judging from the late articles of Messieurs A. W. Benedict
and Max. Greene, their antagonist is now literally, what
he never was before—" a run out man."
After all that is written and published about the CN
travagance of ladies in dress, for that only is chargeable,
there is more among men. with their late hours, fast horses,
flue cigars, liquors and fast women. The extravagance is
not alI on one side, and a precise balance of the account
would not bring the ladies in debt.
"Gabriel, Jr." is said to have met a boy the other day
upon the street: " Sonny," says he, " what is your opin

things in the world," was the significant reply. That boy
is bound for till rise!

WENT tn. BeesEr AND CAME DOWN SrrcE.—At the opening
of the, lecture season, the Register pompously announced
that a committee of the .Tlollidaysburg Lyceum was in ne
gotiation with Ralph Waldo Emerson, Dr. Chapin, George
Washington Curtis, Dr. Bethune, Joseph IL Chandler, Hor
ace Greeley, George Munday, and other eminent orators.—
In conclusion, that learned jurist, the editer,said that Hun
tingdon ought also to establish a lecturing association.—
But it would seem their own institution has not been beard
from since the departure of Lucy Stone. Is it true that
their negotiation with Bayard Taylor was broken off by
his having gone to Lapland to avoid our hard winter ?
Al6pTho advent of Mr- Exalt in our borough—the man
who plays two tunes on the piano at the same time—has
given's fresh impulse to the music movement, and the
Professor is iu great request, especially among the pupils
of Mrs. Ilamoan. These pupils, by the way, aro snaking

merous, jail birds that ought to he caged.
XiFrrTisi MUCCI' OP lis-rmucr.—Altoona has its lecture
association these times as well as Hollidaysburg. After
twice postponing it, on account of the weather, the prestige
of Dr. Sunkin's name brought together an audience to hear
the initial lecture—but so slim was the attendance, that
the Tribune fears the course will break down, after begin
ning In the middle of the winter. Of course it wnl, unless
the senior editor of that paper -consents to repeat his " cat
story."
.41Z-Longanecker, President of the Lancaster Bank in
1855, and Bachman, Cashier at the same time, have been
arrested and are held to bail in the sum of $4OOO on a
charge of embezzling the funds of the bank.

415 - It is said that Messrs. Tiffany & Co., of Now York,
sold, last week, a single diamond, to be worn in a ring, for
$0,500 cashl It was the central stone of a $14,000 neck
lace, which has been exhibited for some time past at their
establishment.
Oatly think of it! Six thousand jive hundred dollars for
u jewel, a bauble, to deck the finger of some rich man or
woman. What extravagant folly; what wickedness. How
many cheerless, downcast, sorrowing hearts would the cost
of that ring, at this dreary season, make leap with joy!—
It -would save many from want, perhaps destruction. The
!purchaser of that ring will have much to answer for when
the account is rendered of its owner's stewardifirtp.

Suasnix.E.--It is getting to be tbe fashion in some quar

sending them to tho printer. Tho an'stom is a good one,
and should prevail everywhere. The marriage foe to the

the printer:
"Six dollars to printer and priest,

Five dollars to render him blest,

CORRESPOZOIDENCE OV TIFE
Common School.
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

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.

This work embraces the prominent public events of the
last half century, both at home and abroad; a complete
autobiography of the author—his early days, education,
and literary career; and an amount of original, curious,
and valuable personal incident, anecdote and description,
seldom, if over, met with in a single work. It is the au
thor's life-long work, and nothing superior if equal to it
in blended amusement and instruction, has ever been pub
tidied. Mr. Goodrich is the author and editor of 170 vol
umes, of which seven millions of copies have been sold!
and this the great work of his life time, embodies the con
densed substance of his ample literary and practical expe
rience; the war with England in 181244, in which Mr.
Goodrich wave private soldier ; the Hartford Convention,
whose operations took place under his immediate observa
tion, and wills most of the members of which he was per

details respecting old Jeffersonian Democracy, Old Feder
alism, and Connecticut Blue Lights ; curious and marvel
lous events connected with tho rise and progress of reli
gious sects in the United States; with descriptions of the

Books upon almost every other subject have been circu

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. This want we are con

Prom the earliest period to the present time, the history
of every nation, ancient and modern, being separately
given. 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.
