SCHOOLS. The schools in our boroughs and in seve ral rural districts are, for the most part, well graded.and arc under the direct supervision of the principal of the high school. Most of them are in comjietent hands and are do ing excellent work. The pupils of many of our high schools leave school before they reach tbe age of 15 or lfl, in consequence af which, in many cases, tho number of pupils in tho high scnooi is very smau, wnusi uouen nappenr, mat, at ine same time, mo lower graues are over-crowded. In several instances It has been found necessary to transfer pupils from the lower grades to the high school, without rd to proficiency, simply to make room in the schools below and to give the high school a fair number of pupi a. This, al though in some cases necessary, alwaya has lemoralizing ellect on the schools. If pu pi's for once discover that they can get into the higher grades witnout regard to their fitness for promotion, a great stimulus to faithful study and regular attendance is tnk en n way. The number of pupils in our high rchools houhl be kept up not by transferring pupils front the lower grades into the higher before they are ready to bo promoted, (except in' caiei in which It caunot be avoided), but by mincing the older pupils of the high school lo remain a few years longer than is ut prca ent the case and to continue their studies at Imo when their minds are sufficiently mature to study with advantage. To uc cmplish this cud, the County Superintend ent culled a meeting, in April, of all the principals of the high schools, and with heir a'sietnnce prepared a cburso of studies for the high schools of the County, With a iew of issuing diplomas to the pupils that ass a satisfactory examination in the course. t Is believed that this will be a sufficient ndui-cment fur many of the pupils of the high schools Ut remain longer iu attendance ml will tend to ru ise the standard and character of these schools. A number of school boards have already adopted the ciurse. There is a general impression that good teachers ought to be employed In the higher trales but that young and inexperienced etchers can be employed at low salaries for he primary schools. This is a great mis. i ke. Tho work of the primary schools re- nuircs tact of the very highest kind, a thor ou;h knowledge of shik-nature and the iv s of mental growth in its early stagesand wide experience. The best teachers ought be employed in the highest and iu the west grades, and these ought to receive the bl-hest salaries. It inexperienced or in Ier ior teachers mutt be employed, they should be put into the grades between the grammar and primary schools, at a lower salary than Is paid tbe primary teachers. We suggest- el this plan to several school boards a year ago. It was adopted in several ot our bor oughs and the results are very satisfactory. The school board at Weatherly, who took tbe lead in tbe matter, at present pay thei primary teacher 111 per month more than some of the teachers iu the intermediate grades. Some other boards purpose making tbe change this coming year. Ttsnucag. In the districts that pay fair salaries we have good teachers. Our beat schools are in the hands of teachers of superior education and culture. But in several districts salaries are so low that it is Impossible to secure good talent. Some of our best teachcra have resigned their positions within tbo last year to accept more remunerative situations. institutes.

Herman 8chmoyer, aged nineteen, was arrested at Allentowu, Monday afternoon for maliciously shooting and dangerously wounding an old man nained Samuel Zim merman, early last Friday morning. Sch moyer had a hearing in the evening, and, iu default of two thousand dollars bail, was committed to jail. The shooting took place at East Texas. It is claimed bv Zimmer man's friends that begot lost on tbe Way to the house of a Irieuil, and that, while stopping ut the Schmnyer house to inquire tlio wayi tho young man, without provoca tion or warning, shot four times ut Zimmer man. The first shot lodged In the old man's back, inflicting a wound from which he is now dangerously sick ami confined 'n the Poorhouse. Schmnyer and his family al lege that Zimmerman walked around the house and refused to answer when asked what he wanted and that supposing him to be a thief the young man shot at him, not so much to hit him as to scare him off. The uffiiir causes a great deal ol excitement. An other account says that Zimmerman stop ped at Schinoyer't house, and soeiitg a light in tbe lower story aroused one of the Isdy members of the family, who asked him what ha wanted. He was about telling her that he was lost, when an upper window was raised and several shots were quickly fired. Zimmerman reeled and staggered back, crying out that he was shot. Recover ing, he walked away and was followed by Schmnyer's son, who kept up the firing. thinking the man was a robber. Zimmer man was badly wounded in tbe bsck. Dr. M. J.

Dank atreet, Lehlghton, Pa. ii. Ii. Pctiu, Ag't, The Anthracite Coal Trade. Philadelphia Lcdtjtr 3 1 at ult.: There was little, if any, variation In tho anthracite coal trade during the past week from what has beeu reported for several weeks. The demand continues brisk for almost all sites of coal, and especially for stove and the smaller sites. Almost the only complaint that colors to the market front the consum ers of coal is that the demand Is abend of the supply of coal for prompt delivery. We have repeatedly called attention to the In creasing demand for anthracite Westward, This new market all the time making In the West causes an Immense consumptive demaud for coal, growing larger as people ' learn the ronvcni-tiecs for Using il econn mically. The amount of anthracite cojl that will be required to meet the demand for it West Is almost Incalcttable The Al pine hunter, who starts n small ball of snow at the lop f the mountain, sees it grow In weight and site at every turn ns It rolls on, gaining such Immense proHirtious that by the time it reaches the foot il over whelms the hamlet In utter ruin. Similar to the surprise at the growth of this little ball of snow, in a very few years henco will be the surprise uf the present coal trade al what It will bi then. The margin at the West for the consumption uf anthracite coal, all of whlah must bo sent from the Eastern mines, is scarcely within the limits of reas onable estimate. The outlook for anthra cite coal in the next four or five years Is ot the most encouraging charncter, and those engaged in the trade, either In its produc tion or transportation, are most sanguine of results. The only complaint in the trade all this time is that there ought to be more coal and prompter delivery. Prices are steady and consumption large, and a gen erally healthy tono prevadesthe trade in all Its several departments. At New Yoik and the Eastward contract deliveries have thus far absorbed tbe output, and the same is true Uf the Coal market here, that is at some points difficult to make purchases of coal With anything like prompt delivery, even at tbe prices generally quoted tor the moie deslrablo qualities and sizes. One of the very natural consequences of this Condition of the trade is that the circular prices for shipments from tide make an advance of 15 cents per ton on all sizes except pea after August 1st. The trade is somewhat em barrassed by a scarcity of vessels, as the class required for this branch of service is employed carrying other Ireights that pay better. Production continues this Week without interruption.and it is now betieted that there will be no further restriction in the hear future. There are contradictory reports in the coal market. It will be found as above stated that the circular prices of anthracite coal will be advanced 15 cents per ton after tbe 1st inst. We now have the following, which we haye no reason to doubt Is trite, though seeming a little in consistent with the circular! The Lehigh and Schuylkill Coal Exchange at Philadel phia met on Friday and decided not to raise prices. The line prices of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company at Mauch Chunk are $3.15 for lump, $3 for broken, cggi stove and small stove, $2.85 for chestnut, ahd $1 75 for chestnut No. 2. Tbe city prices at the same points are 25 cents lower than these figures, except lump, which is $3. The lino and city prices of the Philadelphia and Heading Coal ond Iron Company for white ash coal at Schuylkill HaVeh are $2 75 for lump, steamboat, broken, egg and small store, $2 (10 for chestnut and $1.51 lor pea. The harbor prices for coal delivered on board vessel, at Port Richmond arc $4 30 for lump, steamboat broken, egg and stove) $4 15 for chestnut, end $3 for ea There is some disposition to advance East ern prices, but no decision to tbis point has yet beef) reached. The total tonnage uf anthracite coal from all the regions for the week ending July 21, as reported by the several carrying compan ies) amounted to 884,030 tons, against 046,- 007 tons in the corresponding week last year, an Increase of 38,023 tons.
