provement, its numerous temples of worship,
its lately-built, and contemplated, new and
comfortable school rooms, well regulated
farms and imfroved buildings, portray that
degree of civilization betokening still nobler
attainments, the more thorough educational

music and musical instruments, thereby intro

comfort. Even so endeth my first JOURNAL
istic epistle. Ont.nca DICTUM.
Too MUCH STUDY FOR THE LITTLE
FoLxs.—The following we clipped from the
New York Tribune, of a recent date, which
meets with an unqualified approval:
"An irate Philadelphian father does'nt ap
prove of the present system of school teaching.
lie declares that it is far below that in vogue
thirty years ago, and that it is making caudi•
dates for the insane asylum, and piling up a
heap of misery in many forms. He desires
that there should be reasonable flogging in
schools—beginning with the teachers. One
thing which espechdly rouses his wrath is the
way in which' tired parents are forced to teach
their sleepy children, during the evening. the
lessons which they go to school the next day
merely to recite. He demurs, and with rca
son, at doingithe mental drudgery for which
he liberally pays others who are purposely
fitted for it. It is not alone from Philadelphia
that this remonstrance comes. In all our ci
ties, parents are complaining bitterly of the
studying at home to which their children are
forced on pain of falling below their classes.
No father wants to teach school during all his
leisure hours, and no child should be compel'
ed to spend so much of the day in brain-work.
Fewer studies and strict discipli, in the
schools would make sufficient time for the
memorizing of lessons at the desk. It is the
great. fault of our school system that it de
vriands that children should occupy themselves
with more studies at one time than they are
able intelligently to master."
STILL FURTHER. REDUCTION.—Next
week being Court week, and W.J. March,
Brother & Co., being desirous of cleaning out
their immense stock before Spring, they have
resolved to sell goods during the approaching-
terms of Conrt at almost cost. Farmers and
their wives should not fail to call and price
goods, as they will find them the cheapest in
town, and the best. The cheapness of their
goods can be seen by the following prices of a
few artic:es
Prints 9 cents, upwards.
Bleached and Brown Mashies, 9 cts upwards
Alpacas, all colors, 30 cents upwards.
Detainee, all colors, 20 cents, upwards.
lot of Blankets, Coverlids, spreads, quilts,
very cheap.
Hamburg edging, and all kinds of trimmings,
very low.
Ribbons, ail colors, from 8 cents, upwards,
also, a large lot of Clothing, Boots, Shoes,
Hats and Caps, will be °flared at city prices.
The cheapness of the other goods can be
learned by calling at the store. 8 2t.
GROWING COTTON.—Mrs. Elizabeth
Clark, of this place, has now in possession a
genuine specimen of the cotton plant, fully
matured, which was raised by her own hand.
It was planted some time in June last, and is
now about eighteen inches high bearing a
very well matured ball, which has burst, and
exhibits a specimen of very fine cotton. It
was on exhibition at the late County Agri
cultural Fair but was not yet in bloom at that
time. Any person wishing to see a genuine
specimen of the hot blooded child of the South,
raised in this latitude, can do so by calling on
Sirs. Clark.
CHANGE OF FlR:4l.—The Messrs. March
I, liro. desire to inform the public, that on the
first inst., they changed the style and mem
bership of their firm, and that the business
will hereafter be conducted in the name of
Wm. March, Brother & Co. The new firm will
be glad to see the friends of the old firm and ,
the public generally, and would assure them
that their facilities for giving good goods at
low prices are as heretofore unexcelled. All
persons knowing themselves indebted to the
old firm will please come and settle with cash
or by note, on which reasonable time will be
given, - 8- t.
Ma Enrant:—Shall the enterprising
town of Huntingdon be without Lectures this
winter? WU hundreds, or perhaps thous
ands of dollars be spent for fantastic, magic
or light "Dixie" amusements, and nothing be
gives for interesting and instructive Lectures?
No course has been provided for; but I hear
talk of one Lecture to be delivered this month
by the Rev. James A. Reed, formerly of this
county, now pastor of one of the largest
churches in Springfiel I , Illinois. His ability
and practical eloquence are known to many
in this community, and I bespeak for him a
crowded house. The set proceeds are far
benevolent purposes in our town.

LITERARY NOTTefg=l - Tarper'S Maga

claims of that periodical to hold rank as the
foremost of the Monthlies. It contains nearly
one hundred engravings, and is rich with every
variety of entertaining, instructive, and sea

throws into the foreground, but reveal them
selves as a kind of suprise in the very middle
of the reader's journey through the bewilder
ing "embarrassment of riches" that distinguish
es this Number. Mr. 0. M. Spencsr's exhaus
tive and brilliantly illustrated paper, entitled
"Christmas throughout Christendom," gives a
very novel and interestingreview of Christmas
customs in all Christian countries. Aid the
reader will follow, with irresis table fascination.
Mrs. Zandel R. Buddingtonls "Dreamer"
through the series of thrilling dramatic situ
ations by which this poetess of a new are an
savers the question. "Where is the Child ?"
Christmas is the children's festival ; and Mrs.
Buddington has very fitly chose as her th m
for a Christmas piece the .vinnication. of the
divine worth and beauty of childhood, ana the
scathing, exposure of cruel desecration. The
author's beautiful work has been very worthi
ly supplemented by ti tract ristic and effec
tive illustrations. This peice is preceded by
au old Christmas carol, translated - from the
German by S. r 4. Conant, and elegantly framed
in an illustrated border. We cannot dismiss
the Christmas matter in this Number without
drawing the reader's attention to "The Christ
mas Gilt," a sweet and clever bit of poetry, by
Mrs. M. D. Brine.
Apart from the specially seasonable matter,
there i 4 the usual variety of miscellaneous it
lustrated articles,poems, and stories.
The Number opens wi Ii an entertainingand
profusely illustrated paper, by S. S. Conant,
on "Locomotion—Past and Present." In an
undertaking as difficult as it is novel—that of
gathering together in a single panoramic view
all the various modes of travel, ancient and
modern, the author has been shsnally success
ful, and the twenty-sixth il:ustration which
embellish his work bring vividly before the
eye every variety of locomotion in use.
Mr. Benson T. Lousing concludes ~T he Old
Romans at Home" in a second paper ( with
twenty-one illustrations), describing the jew
elry, head-dresses, and costume of the old
Roman ladies; old Roman fops; old Roman
weddings, funerals and amusements; and the
way the old Romans trested their babies.
'•The Sailor's Snug Harbor," another illus
trated paper, by Louis Bagger, gives us some
very graphic views of that very beneficent in-.
siltation on Staten Island—the home for old
and decrepit sailors.
Last month's harper contained an illustrat
ed article on our Congressional L brary. In
this Number there fitly follows a very exhaus
live and, at the same time, very spicy illustrat
ed contribution, describingthe British Museum
and it, Reading Rooms from the pen of George
M Towle. . .
Besides the three memorable serials by
Cherie , Reade, Wilkie Collins, and Miss'lliack
eray. this Number contains two excellent
short stories—" No. 289:1 Vision," by Mrs
Frank ilPtlarthy, and "The Walking Boy." by
Clara F. Guernsey.
Paul 11. Hapne contributes an xryuisite son
net, and Mi-s :jelly R. Hutchinson a poem, en
titled “Priscilla"—a bright, quaint, and dainty
little picture of a "Presbyterian beauty."
"Outcast" is ,sadder picture, in verse, by the
late Mr. Lewis Kingsley.
The Editoral Departments are all of unusn
al interest. The Easy Chair discusses the
Boston fire ; gives us a glimpse of the Sassa
fras Club, and its views on Indian summer,
apropos of Mr. Flagg's recent work, Woods a,cl
By-Ways of New England; and reviews the
situation on the Irish, Question of Mr. Fronde
and Fater Burke. The Literary Record pays
particluar attention to the recent hmiday liter
attire. The Scientific Record is full of novel
scientific and information.
THE LOST BABE.—We have just re
ceived from the publishers of the American
Land and Law Advises, Pittsburgh, Pa., a copy
of their magnificent premium chromo The Lost
Babe. The chromo is an elegant one, and the
design beautiful, as it appeals at once to the
sympathies of all who Idve children. It repre
tents a little babe boy just begin ing to toddle,
who has wandered away in the early morning
before being wholly dressed, from his mam
ma's village doorstep, to gather the bright
posies io an sc:jacent field of tall rye,and who,
when the flowers no longer attracted him,
wishingto return, realized the fact that lie was
lost,—the tall rye completely hiding home and
village from his sight,—and after wandering
around until weary from crying and walking,
he laid his little self do wn, resting his head on
.a green sod, and went fast asleep. The scene
represents the mother, baby's favorite dog,
old Carlo, and baby's . elder brother, finding
him, with a bunch of flowers in his hand
sleeping beautifully. Who cannot imagine a
mother's joy at thus discovering her darling
unharmed.
With this magnificent premium, and the
rare combination of the contents of Advi
sor, we are not supriscd at the reputation it is
making for itself all over the country. Its
weekly visits to this office are always looked
forward to with pleasure, and we never fail
while reading it to find in its well conducted
departments information not obtained from
any other journal in the country.

ness, and the knowing of the law on which at
the proper moment may save you hundreds of
dollars. _ _

A well prepared and highly instructive essay
—su6joet—"The power of influence" its read by
T. C. Peterson.
Discussion—Subject—"Huw can wo as teachers,
be most benelitted by this Institute?" Opened by
M. It. Ilvans, who ably and earnestly enjoine d
upon members the importance of punctuality and
close attention so that no instruction may be lost,
and to manifest by example that the means of im
provement in the great works of educational pro
gress are desired.
B. F. Brown thought that teachers should earn
estly engage iu the work of the. Institute and
should feel at liberty to ask for information in
regard to all points not fully comprehended.
P. I'. Tussey suggested that members of the
Institute secure small blank books for the pur
pose of noting down all important ideas tbal may
be advanced.
Prof. - A. L. Guss regarded teaching as not a
mere trade like tailoring or shoemaking but
progressive profession deserving in its present
state and under exhdlin: circum,tanees public
encouragement.
The 4oject was further discussed by James G.
Corbin, David Dunn. A. 11. Kauffman and others.
Prof. A. N. Raul, Superintendent of the public
schools of Lock Haven, was now introduced and
111:1,1*3 appreciativo remarks upon the subject
under consideration.
The time allotted to lecturers and speakers was
announced as follows: Lecturers - who open upon
the ditierent brunches of study will he allowed
tO inintlte., those following 5 minutes. Those
who open discussions shall have 10 minutes and
Close following 5, and no speaker shall speak
twice on the noise subject except in exp!anation
or to a point of order, until all have spoken who
desire to spent;.
The exercises were opened with prayer by B. F
Brown.
Diseussinn: Subject—" How can teachers secure
to themselves a more general feeling of approba
tion?"
T. C. Peterson regarded it the duty ofthe teach
er to prepare himself more thoroughly for his work,
both in regard to the subsect, master f education
and methods of imparting instruction.
0. 11. Huston. There but one way to secure
this desirable olkieet. The teacher must be effi
cient, active, enthusiastic and progressive. Suc
cess is attainable by inducing is the pupil, correct
habits of study, pure moral principles and a lore
of order and study.
11. L. Atkinmu. Teachers- most be properly
qualified, and convince their pupils that they are
in earin.st. Patrons must be made to realize that
they receive the worth of their money.
B. F. Brown regarded it imp ssible to please all.

Ist. A fresh and thorough knowledge of the
branches taught. •
2a. Skill in teaching. As means of acquiring
this, visiting the schools of other teachers, reading
works on teaching, attending Normal Schools,

most important and effective.
3d. Love the pupil, manifested most to those
who heed it the most.
4th. Will. power. Men frequently fail because
they lack the moral courage and energy to Elle
ceed.
sth. A knowledge of human nature. Teachers

Discussion—Subjaet :—"How can the present
feeling of opposition to the public schoolsystem be
removed?" Opened by H. M'Kibbin who regarded
short terms, low salaries of teachers, and the prac
tice on the part of Directors of discriminating in
favor of unqualified . and inexperienced teachers
by paying such the same salaries as those more
competent and skillful, also the frequent change
of teachers, as the chief oases of the inefficiency
and consequent unpopularity of the system.

teachers and an effective administration of the
system. D. M. Giles and others followed with re
marks opodthe mine subject.

impulse of the voice.

adjourned.
The teacher should be properly qualified, Loth
in regard to scholarship ant :norm qualities. A
want of self control or other bad qualities in the
teacher is contagious and is in a. greater or less
degree imparted to the settee!. Cases may some
times arise when brute force should he met by
brute force. Deputy Supt. Hooch believed the
must skillful teachers resorted the least to corporal
punishment. Some of the most depraved pupils
can be best reached by kindness. He would re
gard it injudicious fur teachers or school officers
to absolutely abolish the use of the roil. A better
way would ho for teachers to report to School
Boards the number ~ f eases of its infliction at
stated periods of time. The question was further
discussed by Mr. Peterton'and others.
Prof. Raub resumed the subject of Orthography,
dwelling mainly upon spelling off the book and
methods of conducting the exercises. Teachers
using the !cm] method should not always commence
the exercise at any particular place in the lesson ;
should pronounce all the words of the lesson pre
vious to its preparation by the class; pronounce a
word but once, and permit a pupil but one trial.
As a menus of learning the - caning and use of
words, teachers should require pupils to incorpor
ate the words of the lesson into sentences of their
own construction. The names of fsaniliar objects
and words in general use in the affairs of daily
life, should constitute the lesson at stated times.

The minutes of the morning session were read

afternoon session was mainly spent in the dizenss
ion of the following questions:
. .
Ist. "Should the i;ublic schools be supported
entirely by generaltasatlour
- .
2nd. "How can the children of proper School
age, that are not in school, be brought in?" Dis
cussion on the first question was opened by James
Norris. Director df Three Springs, who contended
that the original intention of the school law was
to afford to every child in the Commonwealth the
means of a liberal English Education; that the
State pays the ~.nperintendents, thus practically
carrying out a part of the original intention of the
system, and that the schools should be maintained
everywhere in the State by equal and uniform
taxation. On motion the speaker was permitted
to speak a second time ten minutes. Mr. Goshorii,
Director of Tell tap., followed, stating the difficul
ties of sectoring efficient schools in many of the
rural districts under the present system of taxation.
David Dunn, a Director of Huntingdon, follow
ed on the same side. D. F. Tussey cool.: not see
that if the wealthier districts were required to
educatwthe youths of the less favored, the :awe
principle might not be as appropriately. nod
equitably applied to public roads, &c. T. H. Cre
me, Esq., did not regard the system in all re
speeta perfect,.yet would oat advocate a change.
but call attention to some of the difficulties in the
way. Deputy Superintendent Ilouek referred
briefly to the many difficulties in the way of sup
porting the system by State taxation, but hoped
some of the defects of the system would be reme
died by the State Constitutional Convention, and
that the State appropriation would. at a not far
distant day, be increased in amount and be dis
tributed upon a mere equitable basis.
Discussion of the second question opened by
D. F. Tussey. Proper sehool-Houses, a. better
class of teachers, and a healthy public sentiment
in regard to the subject of education nould have o
tendency to pt oteri aI iy iooreaseuttendanint. Dav id
Dunn would regard these means us hardly ade

now throng the streets of towns and cities and
inclined to the opinion that a law, oompelling
