School.
The graded school at this place
opened on tlie twenty-fifth of Au-'
gust, uniler very promising auspices.'
and is giving signs of :t flourishing
growth and happy influence. The
school hoard have been very fortu-1
liate in securing as principal one emi
nently qualified to raise the school
to a high degree of usefulness ami
prosperity. Miss Stock well has been
so long and so favorably known here,
that her name alone will be a power
in the school. Mrs. Gridley who has
become almost identified with the
Second department, and is an admir
able teacher, continues in her place;
and the Primary department is in
good hands.
An effort is making to have the
school more united than it has been
heretofore, which will be a great im
provement and increase the influence
of each teacher and the interest of
every scholar. The three depart
ment?- are all well filled and look
bright and earnest.
Indeed we congratulate ourselves
ami the comunity on our school and
its prospects. There is a fine set of
students, too; eager and intelligent.
It is hope! that our citizens will feel
and show increased interest in and
sympathy with the school. Here are
our future teachers; those who will
tram the next generation; the little
ones we now hold in our arms and
for whose good we would make any
exertion ami sacrifice. Let us see
that these now in the schools shall
have our heartiest sympathy and as
sistance from the highest to the low
est of them, and that the school shall
maintain its high position and have
every possible facility for advance
ment and success.
Coudersport Library Association.
At the opening of the school, which
we hope will make free use of all fa
cilities for obtaining information, we
should give some attention to the.'
Library. It stands next to the
school in importance to the educa
tion and improvement of our people,
and the directors should not full be
hind the school directors in their;
ixni 1 and attention to its care and im
provement. Let there be everything
done that can be to improve our
Library. Let it be kept equal in its
department to the school and all be
done that can be to render it acces
sible and useful to the scholars.
LIMITATIONS.
There is hardly anything more
; hard to learn, more difficult to recon
cile one's self to, than the bounds
that hedge us in on every side, the
impossibility of doing even what we
see clearly we ought to do. Apart
from those that we owe to physical
weakness or mental imperfection, the
circumstances of our life, or tlic ob
tuse perception to which too many of
us are subject, there is such a terrible
i lack of power to do, when we do see,
such an impossibility to get others to
: help in the labors that need many, or
to find out how to work with others
according to their vision.
In this country, where the will of
the people is sovereign, and that will
lies prone before great abuses, the
few, perhaps the many who seek re
form, labor, and struggle, and lift—
| by the sweat of their brows, by the
careful watching and the ceaseless
energy—until it seems as though
something was about to be accoin
! plished, when some weak one gives
way, and the "sovereign B ill" is idle
; and inert.
Perhaps a reform is needed in our
laws. It is plain and simple, and
most people see it, but you cannot
get them to take the needful steps to
ward a change, or if some do so many
stand in the way of any progress that
it is only by a long, weary process
that anj- reform is effected. Still
worse is it with the administration
of laws when made. We suffer abuses
at our very doors because we do not
execute vigorously the good laws that
we have. We see incalculable mis
chief done to the young people, on
' whom rests the hope of the country,
because so many lie supine when need
is of active, strong, determined resis
tance.
There are those willing and anxious
to work, fettered, not so much by the
will to be overcome as by the want
!of effective help. And this effective
help is lacking most from want of
power to see plainly how and what
to do—a limitation of perception,
i i. ■
; Each one's great defect bej'>_, r . the
limit, not only of Ins own usefulness ,
but of that of others.
In view of all these difficulties, of
so many abortive efforts and misuc-1
cessful struggles, it sometimes be
comes a question how the world can
move on at all, how any progress can
be made. Yet we do make progress,
some; little by little, the laws are i
improved and the power given us to 1
hope for further amendment—but so '
1 , !
slow, so wearily, does the good time
come.
Like the march of a great army
which has to bring on all its strag
glers and all its baggage, provisions,
its cannon, tents, and all else that it
needs, very slowly, even with its per
fect discipline and despotic command,
so march we, fettered in every limb,
almost in every thought, by all the
circumstances of our lives; limited,!
each one of us, by all our relations!,
to each other, yet, perhaps, aided in
mass by these same ties that bind us
all together.
Wo think most of these limits to
all our power to help the world; to
benefit one another when the lawless
liquor traffic flaunts itself before our
eyes; when following evil examples,
one after another, violates the law
and the honest sense of the communi
ty and escapes thai punishment that
should stop him and deter others
from tin shameful business. For it
seems so strange that all the chris
tian people, all the moral and legal •
force should lie torpid in presence of
this dreadful wrong. Oh, how long?
An Interesting Experiment. 1
We suppose the most zealous ad
vocate ot the emancipation, and of
equal political rights to all men,
without regard to previous condi
tion, had some anxieties as to the
effect of such a revolution on the I
colored people ot the South and on
the nation itself. It is too soon to sav
that all cause for anxiety lias passed
away, but the general character of
the emancipated people has dissipa
ted many fears. Fhe following from
the Philadelphia Press gives a de
scription of one of many movements
oi the people of great interest:
In Colleton county (the facts arc
derived from a South Carolina paper
of Democratic sympathies) colored
men now own and successfully eon
duct, in communities, some of the
largest plantations. A number of
families, often as many as fifty, or
ganize themselves into a society,
electing the proper officers and adopt
ing suitable laws, and then for sever
-1 months, at regular meeting-, pay a
| certain sum into a common treasury,
i When a sufficient fund has accumu
lated, a large plantation is purchased,
'> payments being made annually for
two or three years. The land thus
acquired is divided equally among
the members, each being free to la
bor as much and as often as lie wish
i es, and to sell his crops at his own
| prices. A system of dues is. main
tained to provide for the care and
cure of the sick. A board of arbitra-
I tion is also appointed to settle dis
i putes.
Nearly all of these experiments,
we are assured by the Waterboro
i News, have proved successful. In
instances where the officers have been
i found incompetent or dishonest, they
j have been removed. When any
j member desires to retire, he is re-
I turned all the moneys he has paid in
to the treasury, with a fair compen
sation for the improvements he has
! made. The News further says: "We
ido not say that only the colored
people who have formed themselves
into these societies show thrift and
' the accumulation of property, for a
number who, six or seven years ago,
were not worth a dollar, now carry
on successfully large rice and cotton
plantations and are becoming heavy
taxpayers. But in the particular
section in which these societies are
formed, more property exists among
those who are now lighting the battle
of life and death on their own ac
• count, while from the formation ol
these societies they are enabled to
i purchase more valuable property and
1 secure greater privileges." Every
| friend of the colored people and true
patriot will watch these experiments
with anxiety. Their eifect upon the
interests of South Carolina and the
future well-being of the new citizens,
if they continue to be successful,
must be very great. It is a rule ol
| political economy that with the sub
division of labor the distribution ol
wealth is wider and prosperity more
general, and it will work in South
Carolina as well as elsewhere.
IT IS an interesting fact to know
that the hornet is a deadly enemy ol
the locust, upon which it and its
young feed.

WE AGAIN call the attention of our
readers to the proposed new Consti
tution. We publish on the outside
j of this paper two of the articles pro
posed by the Constitutional Conven
tion—that on the Legislature makes
very radical changes and ought to
i Y
receive careful attention. We can
not say that it commands itsetf to
our mind as an on the
present Const'AiCion, except in one
two particulars. We arc in favor
of an increase in the number of
which each House shall be composed,
but we are opposed to bi-ennial elec
tions and sessions, and we think the
article entirely too long and too
cumbersome. But our readers are
asked to read and ju Ige for them
selves.
THE Modocs were captured months
ago, and now Captain Jack and sev
eral others are condemned to die for
the murder of General Can by; but
the Indian difficulties seem to be as
exciting as ever. A dispatch was
recently brought into Fort Berton
by two hunters from the Yellow
Stone Expedition, dated Muscle
Shell River, August 19, which gives
the particulars of two lights with the
Indians, who in both instances at
tacked in large numbers but were
finally routed by charges of the cav
alry. The savages were said to be
well armed with heavy rifles and had
plenty of ammunition. These articles
are alleged to have been furnished
them at Fort Beck, a trading port on
the Missouri River, which was made
a Military Post by Congress last
winter and to which large shipments
of hardware were made by traders
in the spring.
It seems to be impossible to deal
with this Indian question successful
ly. Unprincipled speculators and;
traders cheat and exasperate the sav
ages, then sell them arms and am
munition, while the government
sends its Canbys to treat with them
or its Custars and Stanleys to fight :
them—the result in either ease being
almost always disastrous.
The fights on the Yellow Stone !
resulted in the death of three soldiers
and the wounding of twenty others.
General Custarand Adjutant Ketch- j
am both had horses shot under them.
The Indians had about forty killed
and wounded.
SOMETHING is the matter with this j
year. Several of our exchanges say
the days are growing shorter.
OUK agricultural standing and im- j
provement is now well assured. Not
only are we to have a fair, but al
ready quite a number of gentlemen
farmers have "taken stock" in the'
soil and all the appurtenances and
hereditaments thereunto belonging.
We congratulate them and the Coun
ty. No better way of spending mon- j
ev or recruiting over-strung energies, i
No going to the sen-shore, UA travel-'
I " ' j
ing up and down dusty highways,
not even, if we may dare to say so,
is railioading, either present or pro
| spective, so good and nourishing as
j a little easy farming. Of course
i those who take it hard and in earn
-1 est have some over-strung energies
that need recruiting other ways.
But just ride up past Lymansville
, and see how nice farming may be.

! itant of that country who had "sailed

CHEER.
The limit that bound us, the weak
j ness of body and the narrowness of
mind, the moral incapacity to per
ceive and act on great truths would
i . .
•j l>e far more discouraging and disas
trous than we find them were it not
that the little word at the top of this
'article mixes in with almost all the
affairs of life, as sunshine does with
every landscape, and soothes, bright
ens and harmonizes until we almost
j find our troubles chhrrning, as beet
. ling rocks and frightful chasms or
| decaying stumps grow beautiful,
'j A confirmed invalid, with sunken
; cheeks and pain-wearied eyes, will as
t often excite our admiration as com
j passion by the sunny cheerfulness
j that spreads, not only over his own
countenance and sounds through his
' words, but shines on all around him.
And who so weak of thought or pur
pose but that cheeriuess can make
I him a desirable, a welcome compan
ion.
Even those who cannot always set
; nor choose the right path are some
times so cordial and cheery in tht
wrong one that we have only pleas
ant words with which to answer
them.
Onlv those itufV
lOrruuate whose good spirits have
left them, who sink under affliction,
} who cannot gather hope amid their
maladies, nor faith t<> brighten their
< sorrows, nor charity to turn them
i right where they are wrong.
Ski'Temuer has come, and with it
the fullness of the year. We had the
seed-time, and now the harvest is far
advanced, and we have certainly rea
son for gratitude that the season has
yielded so plenteouslv. The spring
was cold and backward and the sum
mer has been more than ordinarily
cool, but the crops already harvested
have been fair and the fall promises
to (ill our barns and granaries ami
cellars with a plentiful supply of
mother Earth's good things. l"l>
here among these hills seed-time and
harvest have never failed, and though
we have heavier yields of grass and
grain some years than others we have
often noticed that 110 year failed to
supply the needs of the people, or to
produce enough to prevent suffering
and want until the succeeding har
vest. The present year we have
some other things to congratulate
ourselves on as well as the supply of
food for man and heast. Our cool
climate and pure air have rendered
us entirely exempt from the fear of
those diseases that prove so terrible
to other localities. We have fre
quently been almost amused to hear
strangers talk of precaution against
cholera during the last month or two.
Physicians say it cannot reach up
here. At all events we will be thank
ful for our past safety from such
scourges and enjoy our exemption
as long as it lasts, while we grow
more and more attached to our home
among the hills.
-
From the Washington ]{<>i>nbfic
we cut the following notice of the
work of one of the heroic spirits
who, equally with any soldier or
statesman, spent life and energv in
behalf of the country and humanity.
If we are not mistaken this Myrtilla
Miner was a native, or at least a resi
dent in her early years, of Friend
ship, Allegany county, X. Y., a place
that has reason to be proud of her.
A Leaf from History A few
years before the war Miss Myrtilla
Miner began a school in Washington
for the education of colored youth.
She met with fierce opposition. Iler
school was assailed and her life and
property endangered. She was
threatened with mob violence unless
she desisted from her nefraeious and
ridiculous project of educating col
ored girls, for she had so far confined
her efforts to female scholars; and
strange as it may serm in this day.
he Mayor of Washington counseled
ler to close the school, saying he
hould be unable to protect her lrom
i mob which seemed then inevitable.
Tins mayor was, as the world then
an in the capital of our " Free Ile
mblic," a most worthy, public-spirit
■d and benevolent man. But lew
esidents of Washington, of course,
•ared or dared to sustain Miss Mi
icr. Amid all the opposition she,
levertheless, carried on her school
vith varied fortunes and frequent in
errnptions. Her great aim was to
it girls to become teachers. The
mblie schools of Washington to-dav
ittest the success of her labors in
this diiection.
Her ideas of education expanded
with experience. The work before
her enlarged. She appealed to friends
in the North to assist her. Liberal
people responded and some four thou
sand dollars were contributed to hei
cause. This sum she invested, in
trust, by the purchase of a square ol
ground near Twentieth and I' street*,
on which was a small frame building
in which she kept her school. Until
within a year or two past this loca
tion was in a distant and seeludc!
part of the city.
The war caine on, her health brokt
down and her school was suspended
She visited California in the vail
hoi >e of . improving her condition
Her great desire was to regaii
strength to pursue her vocatioi
again as an educator of colored youtl
in Washington. During her absenc*
Congress incorporated the "instiiu
tion for the Education of Colore*
Youth," of which Miss Miner wai
made one of the corporators. This
was in ISO.'k She was not success
ful in her visit to the Pacific eoasi
and returned to Washington, to die
in 1805. The institution created bj
Congress succeeded to her trust
I he little property she had endowei
it with had increasd in value. Othei
schools had been opened for colore*
children and emancipation had beei
effected in the District of Columbia
The remaining corporators deter
mined to devote the income of tin
property to the education of e.lore<
teachers. The piece of ground bough
by Miss Miner doubled,trebled, quad
rupltd iu value, until the-corporator:
sold it for ten times the price sin
paid for it. This placed a fund o
over forty thousand dollars in tin
possession of the institution. Vari
oils plans were discu sed for uliiiziiu
tiie income of this fund so that tin
object of its founder might best b<
attained—the education of colore*
3011 th for teachers. At present tin
income is devoted to the payment o
tiie salaries of two professors iu tin
normal department of Howard Uni
rersity. This arrangement is ex
pected to furnish a large number of
competent teachers and supply the
increasing demand among the schools
springing up in the recent land of
slavery. The trustees of Howard
University have named one of their
largest buildings "Miner Hall," and
the professors in the normal depart
ment are called "the Miner profes
sors." Thus the work of a single
woman, begun amid trials and pov
erty, has come to be a benifieent and
success!ui institution, ID the heroic
efforts of Miss Miner we may also,
to some extent, ascribe the prosper
ous and meritorious character of the
public colored schools of Washing
ton. The same people who a few
years ago scouted the idea of educa
ting a negro, now see thousands of
colored youth in this city acquiring
the same education that the children
r>f the most favored whites receive.
K SEE the following item in some
of our exchanges: "The Virginia
Educational Association has "voted
against teaching girls algebia." We
are not informed 011 what ground
that august body concluded to cast
such a vote. It 111 ay have been the
members thought the feminine mind
was incapable of understanding the
abstruse principles of the science,
and feared to assume the responsi
bility of taxing it with the mysteries
of minus and plus quantities; may be
they thought girls did not need such
discipline as that study gives, that,
as one of Dickens' characters says.
"There is but one phenomenon and
she's a girl," and there was no need
of making her more phenomenal;
but the lirst reason that suggested
itself to us 011 reading the item was.
that the Association being probably
composed to a large extent of teach
ers the}' voted as"tliej* did because
their own acquirements did not ex
tend much beyond Robinson's Higher
Arithmetic,and if they could exclude
the girls from venturing farther in
the mathematical field, by the terri
ble interdict of an Assoeiational vote,
they could get along with the bovs
in almost any way. And why not?
For what scion of Virginia's chivalry
would study algebra in a school
where the girls were excluded from
the same privilege?
'1 HE Republic, Washington, D. C'.,
in commenting on General Butler's
plea in favor of the action of Con
gress in increasing the salary of
members; has the following which
has peculiar pertinency, it is get
ting so common for public servants
to measure themselves only with the
exceptional wealthy few, to the neg- i
leet, apparently, of the mass of their I
constituents that tliev need to le con-'
I
tiuually reminded of who the real
people are.
A gain, when we are told ot the
stupendous private fort unes of a very
few rich nun in the country who, by
their tact, talent, perseverance and a
series of favoring circumstances, have
amassed immense fortunes, and that
Congressmen are to be pampered by
funds from the public Treasury to
enable them to approximate or to
ape the style and manners of this
plutocracy, while the vast body of
the people are left in the background
and far down in the scale of life, the
proposition is simply astounding.
One fact of prodigious import must
be noted here. The late income re
turns show that not one man in a
hundred out of the whole population
had an income of SSOOO a year!
Where one man luxuriated in a sum
more than this ninety-nine others fell
below it.
Why does not General Butler—
who would wish to make it appear
that he is par excellence a tribune of
the people; a man to be trusted in
every emergency; a man who always
stands up for the weak against the
strong, for the poor against the rich
. •—argue the question from the stand
point of the ninety-nine out of the
hundred of his fellow-citizens rather
than from the standpoint of the few
, monopolists in the country, to rank
! with whom he would enrich Con-
L gressmeu by wringing from the mass
, of the population a further measure
of taxation? He will surely find that
I this argument from the splendid pri
. vate fortunes of a few individuals
; will not conduce to the populariza
tion of tiie action of the last Congress
011 the salary question. In this his
usual sagacity has been strangely at
• fault, for he has forgotten the ninety
nine men whose income per year is
[ not equal to the salary of a Congress
. man at SSOOO, and lie has remom-
I bered only the one man, the annual
, increase of whose private fortune far
exceeding this, is set up as the model
of imitation for the lawmakers of the
. country. But how will it be when
I the voles came to be counted ? Be
fore the ballot-box all are equal; the
vote oi the poor man weighs as much
. as that ot tiie rich, and ninety-nine
. votes of the common people will out
f weigh so many times Use one vote ot
. the millionaire. Men wdl say, we
prefer to be represented in Congress
r l>y men ol' our own cla-s and condi
, tion—men of frugal habits, of econ
. oniy and moderate living rather than
i by those of greater extravagance and
. larger wealth. Tims the jealousy ot
[■ caste creeps in, and immeasurable
, evils How from me struggle.
