Franc, if us'.i store, Election of County Superintendent The School I/irectors of this county will strain be called on to elect a County Si per iutendent on the first Monday of 31ay next, (.orj-.'ricrafch diversity of ©pirnon exists as to the necessity or usefulness of this offi cer. and also as to his compensation. It is not our purpose at this time to enter into a discussion of the subject, but as some communications in other papers are c-alcu- j lated to mislead the public, a few facts in ' relation thereto may be of interest to those i most concerned. In the first place a .Su perintendent must be elected, for if the Directors do not perforin this duty the .State Superintendent will do it for them. In ' the next place, in arranging the salary the general principle to be kept in view is, ; that of making it large enough to com- ; inand the very best professional talent with- j in the reach of the Convention. No other l should be thought of. " The man, then, • whom Law, Experience and the wants of the system demand for County Super!nice- j dent, is : — A practical Teacher, who is al- j "J an accomplished scholar, and a ready public speaker; Kith sujjficu at l,i< Jar it to ! undertake, and to perform, the great icorl: ' before htm ; and the salary should be svifi- ! cient to compensate him, as far as money , can, fur the efficient discharge of so great n labor.'' In the third place, the salary is not paid, as many suppose, out of the county appro priation, but, as will be seeu by the follow ing paragraph from the School Journal, out of the State Treasury. It would there fore not make a difference of five cents to any taxpayer in the county whether the salary is fixed at 8100 or GOO. Department of Common School*, IIARKIHIURG, March, 18GO. Salaries of Comity Superintendent*: The salaries of tlie County Superintendents have atwavH been paid out of the genera) fund, and not out of the school appropiation to the par ticular county. The last two lines of the 30th section of the act of 18.04, were con-id ered by Mr. Black, then State Superinten dent, as incompatible with the general pur pose of the act, ami were accordingly admin lbtered practically as above stated. This practice has repeatedly been confirmed and sanctioned by law, as will be seen by refer ence to the appropriation Tills of "several years past. New Hampshire. The Granite State has nobly opened the State elections of 1800. In 1800, the vote cast for the tivo Opposition candi dates for Governor exceeded that of their Democratic rival by barely 2,448, while the Opposition carried but 3 of the 5 Coun cilors, 8 of the 12 Senators, and 168 against 140 Representatives. Now, with a heavier aggregate vote, the Republican majority for Governor is nearly .j,OOO. while 4 of the 5 Councilors, 0 or 10 of the Senators, and nearly 100 majority of the Representatives, are Republican. The Opposition majority in the Spring of'o6 was more than doubled in the heavier vote cast for President in the Fall. In other words, the Republican vote at the State Election was increased sonic 4,000 at the Presidential, while the Democratic vote was inc>cased less than 1,000. At this rate the Republican majority for President in No vember must approach 10,000. I laving too many accounts already with educational institutions iu neighbor ing counties, we decline the insertion of all notices of that kind unless accompanied with the cash. Dgy- The Free Banking Bill has passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 51 to 33. It remains to be seen whether there is sens© enough in the Senate to pass it. Harrisburg has elected a majority of councilman of the Peoplo's Party. WARLIKE KEWS FROM MEXICO. By telegraph from New Orleans we have .raportant intelligence from Mexico, though as usual with news from that quarter, in complete arid needing confirmation. The steamer General M : ratnon had arrived be low New Orleans in charge of Lieutenant Minor, as a T'nited States prize. The steamer is no doubt part of the naval ex pedition organized at Havana by lienor Idon Tom a- Marin, ex Commodore ot the Mex ican Navy, U> assist Minimon in the attack, on Vera Crux. The Juarez Government had declared the expedition piratical. Mira tnou commenced the attack on Vera Cruz on the uth. but it is reported was easily re pulsed by the Liberal forces. The Mexican war-steamer Marquez an other ot the Havana expedition also ar rived at New Orleans on the 19th, aLni ted States prize, in charge of Lieutenant Chapman, of the sloop-of-fcir Saratoga. The Saratoga also captured the steamer Miramon, which arrived at noon. Both vessels were captured off Anton Lizardo, on the morning of the dth inst, after a brief action, and with only u slight loss. The steamer Marquez lias a portion, of the prisoners aboard. TL_- L nited.States sloop of-war i'reble is to LrLi g the rest. Altjr ado is reported to be in possession of Mira mon. It is reported that the exequatur of the American consul at Vera Cruz had been revoked. The eity of Mexico is sur rounded by the Liberals. Great excite ment existed at Vera Cruz at the action of the American squadron. The French and Spanish residents were bitter in de nouncing the affair. Lieutenant Chapman is bearer of despatches to Washington. Pennsylvania Legislature. Koth Houses have agreed to adjourn on the dd of April. A bill relating to elections in this coun ty is before the Legislature. We do not know what its provisions arc. The bill incorporating the Mifflin coun ty llank is in the hands of the Governor. Mr. Dates reported s.s committed, an Act authorizing the Auditor Genera! and .State Treasurer, to examine the claim for dama ges (f John Kennedy, Senior, of Mifflin county. The Governor La- nominated the Hon. Thomas if. Durrowes of Lancaster, Super intendent of Common Schools of this State from and after the first of Juiv. f'o con- Srming the nomination, seven patent dem ocrats voted against it —Dr. Crawford being of the number. fcgC'The ConimUsioner of Indian affairs lias resolved to adopt efficient measures to remove white settlers from the Indian Res ervations at the wc.-t, each and all of which have been extensively settled upon by tres passers, who have entered upon them in violation of the law. Ife gives notice that he shall, if necessary, employ the United States troops to enforce the law, and remove trespassers. A Scv: Idea. —An enterprising individ ual has established au agency in Detroit, for the purpose of aiding fugitive slaves in Canada to return to their owners, when they desire to do f.o. With an underground railroad to carry them North, and an agen cy to help them back again when they get tired of (he Canadas, it is probable that it will shortly become fashionable with the colored gentry to spend the Summer in Queen Victoria's dominions, and the Win ter in the sunny South.

CHARLESTOWN, March 10. —The third act in | the great \ irginia tragedy was performed to i day in the presence of a vast assemblage of j spectators, who flocked in from the surround | ing country in vast numbers, there being no ; military law to prevent their free ingress and egress. The scaffold was erected on the same spot where Capt. Brown and his associates were . previously suspended, and the throng of , spectators was larger than at either of the j ! preceding executions. At noon the prisoners were brought out of the jail, where a large military escort, com panies of Jefferson c the Berk ey and Clark | Guards and the Winchester companies, were drawn up in a line around the jail. Hazlett and Stevens both advanced with firm step and j took their seats on their respective coffins, ; and the military procession and guard form- I ing around them, they proceeded to the place of execution. ; At eight minutes past twelve o'clock, after bidding adieu to their jailor and friends on 1 i the gallows, the ropes were attached to their necks aud they were swung off. Hazlett seemed to die very easy ; but Stevens, who , was a powerful and elegant formed man, with i strong muscular development, struggled for a j considerable time and appeared to suffer very j much. ' j S Both Hazlett and Stevens exhibited great firmness at.d resignation, fully equal to that j displayed by Capt. Brown and thir other companions in the Harper's Ferrv Insurrec tion. There was no religious exercises on the gallows, as they persisted in refusing all the kindly offers of the ministry to comfort them j in their. last moments. Both of them were spiritualists, and had a peculiar religion of their own, which enabled them to meet their ! fate with cheerfulness and resignation. Both their bodies have been forwarded to Marcus Spring South Arnboy, New Jersey. Married. i r! I .rL- M^\r- v ! ow "' ou thf ' r ' th installt. by Rev. D. P. i to " ARGA ~, Died. i M ' nehiirt '* GP.

The committee having taken a tur:i at sitting hatch.. ! ou: a ticket, several of whom met with our decided approbation, and lor whom under other circumstances we would have cheerfully voted. The Democrat al so came to its aid by the following mag n Scent endorsement of the one and dispar agement of the other. £3 said, in publish ing the People's Ticket— •• We ask the voters of Lewistowa to exam ine this ticket care Sully, and- then compare it with the Democratic ticket.

Loss OF A FINGER. —We regret to learn that James B. Stackpolc, a hand on the lo cal freight train, met with an accident at McVeytown on Thursday last, by which he lost the first finger of his right hand. To facilitate the departure of the train he atteiuped to couple a car as the locomotive backed to it, and there being no brakes man on it his hand was caught between the wood work, smashing his finger down to the second joint and Bomewhat injuring his thumb. It was amputated at 2d joint, and hopes are entertained that the stump can be preserved. Should this accident interfere with his preseut duties, we hope the Railroad Company will provide him with a better situation, for if willingness to labor, undoubted honesty, and faithful ness in all situations, are passports to fav or, we know of no young man in Mifflin oounty more deserving. llocsEs OF 111 FAME —Oar remarks a few weeks ago respecting these baants ot vice and dissipation, attracted public atten tion to the matter, and became a subject of earnest discussion auieng all classes, all of whom admit the evil, though iuiy differ as to the proper method to be pursued- tn abate it. Were the testimony given at the trial of Mrs. Gloss at January court spread before our readers, abundant evidence would be iaid before the public to show that this house was in the habit of harbor ing a brae number of half-grown boy that fighting, blackguardism and profanity run riot—that indecent behaviour was its chief characteristic —and still half of the truth would not be toll. A number of others it is sail are not so had as this. Perhaps they are not: bat is it not a noto rious fact that all this class of unfortunate women are constantly treading a downward path, never an upward one; that every year but adds to their callousness of heart, and is searing their consciences untii every feel ing that adorns woman is lost ? Are not young men ea&iced to their haunts, and arc not married men, with families who need ail their earnings, nightly harbored t Such questions need no answers —they are known too well. Those who allege that married men have no business at such pla ces, make but a poor apology for human nature —the temptation-, the unguarded moment, being ever present unci r this log ic, and unless imbued with a lygb tone of morality and refined feeling, or genuine re iigious sentiment i. too often mislead those who, wkhout sic:7i r cmp!atih;ts h>jor> th>m, would never think of seeking or visiting a place of the kind, tiu far as unmarried meu are concerned, we will but repeat the remark once made by a gentleman to us : •' No young man," said he. "who is in the habit of associating with lewd women, is fit fur a husband to a decent and virtuous girl." We know full well that it is difficult to rid our community of the evil we speak of, but ail can at least unite to bring to punish ment those who have harbored toys and thus inculcated into their minds those springs of evil which will perhaps abide with them through life; and secondly, all can lend their aid to punish those whose brazen-faced impudence on our streets, and profaneness, intemperance and vulgarity at their residences have rendered their neigh borhoods a reproach to the town—in short all good citizens can exert their influence to the extent that if prostitutes MUST be kept here, they shall at hast be as <hcmt as thy <an. Let the law take its course for the present —when that fails, other means may be resorted to. PROCEEDINGS OF TOWN COUNCIL. At a meeting of the Town Council on Monday evening, the following preamble and resolution* we.se uutniuiously adopted: WHEREAS, Certain prosecutions have been instituted against a number of women in this borough for keeping disorderly houses and following practices at variance with morality with religion, and with tin? good of the com in unity. AND WHEREAS, this evil has increas ed to such an extent as riot only to endanger the peace of families, and the uprightness of young and middle aged, but leading to the perversion of the youth of Loth sexes to the basest passions— Therefore, Be it Resolved by the Burgess and Tou n Couueil of the Borough of Lewis tomn, '1 bat the High Constable be and is here by instructed, in case the said prosecutions are settled by the parties, imediately to re indict them, and use his uttermost exertions to have them convicted ; and in all other cases that may come to his knowledge, he is direct ed to give said parties notice within ten days to leave the county, or on failure thereof to enter complaint before a Justice of the Peace, have them arrested, arid committed to jail or bound over to appear at court. llcsolvtd, That the Borough Attorney be and is hereby instructed to render all the aid in his power to have said parties convicted. Resolved, That we call upon the Judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions to mete out to ail such notorious harlots THAT JUSTICE all know they so well merit, by giving them the utmost sentence the law will inflict. Resolved, That the Borough Constable be and is hereby requested to act in conjunction with the High Constable in prosecuting such parties, in arresting them if found strolling about the streets at night, and summarily committing them to jail as vagrants. FIRE. —An alarm of fire was sounded on Friday morning about three o'clock, the back building at the residence of R. P. Smith in West Market street, having been discovered wrapped in flames by a daughter of Abraham Jilyrnyer, the owner of the property. The surrounding buildings be ing all of brick, and the night calm, the Henderson Hose succeeded in obtaining control of the flames just as the roof at the junction of Mr. Blymyer's and Ficli thoru's property caught. A few minutes later in obtaining water would have caused a conflagration perhaps as serious as that which occurred in the same square eight or nine years ago. The Juniata was also on the grouud and aided in quenching the devouring element. Mr. Smith's family had been washing and cleaning up the day before preparatoiy to removing, aud in ad dition to a supply of flour, meat and all the kitchen furniture had placed many ar ticles packed and bunu.ed together in the burnt building. All these were consumed. No insurance either on the building or other property.

Mr. Editor, — I think I am not mistaken in supposing that the people- of Mifflin coun ty would like to hear something of the con dition of their schools. lam entirely unwil ling to bdieve that they have no interest in a cause that ao nearly concerns tbe futute prospects and standing of their children. I have some means of knowing the present state of education in the county, and the gen eral sentiment of the community, having been throughout the county twice ; having visited every school once, and all but nine twice. Of those nine, three had not begun when I made my first visit, one had closed before the last visit, and the other live were not in session the day I intended visiting them, owing to illness of the- teacher, or a temporary su-pen siun of the school. As a general fact, two things impressed me, \iz: the imperfect condition and compara tively low standard of scholarship in theschool*, and the manifest improvements that are be ing introduced. Generally speaking, the at tainments of the children in the schools of this county, are not equal to those of the chil dren of the same age in the schools of New England and New York, while I suppose thev are fully equal, if not superior, to the attain ments of scholars in the great maj< 1 ity of schools of Pennsylvania. While this is true now, I cannot think it will remain true long; there is a new order of things, gradually ta king the place of the oid order. Not a few of the teachers of this county have had admirable schools, so orderly, so studious, 60 full of life. They have been infusing some of their own en thusiasm into the spirits of their scholars, and an intelligent zeal in acquiring knowl edge, and a laudable desire for excellence in all that belongs to a scholar, are the happy result. They have taught their pupils to be thorough, accurate, and persevering. They have instructed their scholars in the first prin ciples of all the branches pursued in the schools, with great caro and fine success. I have been much gratified with the correctness and promptness of the replies that have been given to iny questions, in many of the schools. Were it not out of the bounds of propriety, I should be very glad to name those teachers who have so faithfully, intelligently, and suc cessfully labored. It cannot be necessary; you, whose children have had one of them, cannot need to be told of the fact; you are grateful ly conscious of it; and those teachers who should be named, need no such testimonial from me. A good majority of the schools hare been quite prosperous, some almost perfectly so; a few schools might have bf-er. spared with out any serious injury It nmy not be mis appropriate to state "that, as a general fact, those teachers have succeeded far better who have been in tbe habit of attending Normal Schools, and Institutes, and who read educa tional periodicals and books. With the present prcgr's-ire -nf ' —*¥, so many of the teacher*, it is imp jstibViejß-, the standard of scholarship sir old noiL raised.

I cannot elu-e this eororcuniciti n without ackn ,wiedging the kind c< crtesy, the friend ly welcome, the open hearted hospitality. I have everywhere met. I know net another community in which a stranger would ho snore generously and thoughtfully cared for. The many hemes, whose warmth and cheer I have shared, the man? kind faces, whose friendly esj-ressiv>n has been so grateful, arc must thankfully remembered.
