County Superintendent's Report.
The follow
ing report of our efficient County Superinten
dent to Hon. Tbos. H. Burrows, Superinten.
dent of the Common Schools of Pennsylva
nia, has been handed to us for publication.
It oontaip? many facts of interest to a great
majority of our readers and gives them an op
portunity of geeing what our Superintendent
has been doing during the last month. We
gladly give it a place in our columns, and
beg leave to suggest to the Suneriutendent
that be send ue a copy, each month, of hie re
port :
Hoic. THOMAS 11. BURROWS :
Sir i— ln accor
dance with your instructions, the following
report for the month of February, 1861, is
fespecfully submitted:
District Examinations None this month.
Examined since the commencement, 225 ; li
censed, 191; annulled, 3.
Number of Schools Visited—l have visited
48 schaols tuis month—32 once, and 16 the
econd time—devoting a half day to the for
mer, and about an hour to the latter; visit
ing 3 er 4 daily ; preferring such as are on
the eve of closing.
Number of Institutes &c. Attended. —I at
tended 2 Distrb t Institutes, and 1 school
exhibition, at which place 1 took occasion to
address large audiences.
Whole Number of Dags devoted to Official
Duties. — 1 have devoted the whole time, ex
cept Sundays, to official duties.
Whole Number of Official Letters Written.
I have written 10 official letters. Corre
spondents cannot be promptly attended to,
because 1 am seldom at home.
Chief Difficulties Encountered.—The great
est hindrances to progress are, a want of uni
frm text books, a lack of interest on the part
*f some parents and directors in school af
fairs ; the apathy of many teachers in atten
ding Institutes, and the Sa;urday teaching
■ til! insists! oo in a few of tne districts.
New Measures Adopted to Improve the
School.—l have endeavored to introduce mor
al instruction into every school, also compo
sition, book-keeping, and better npedes of
teaching than those hitherto in use.
Educational Meetings this Current Month.
None but the district Insii'utes and a few
school exhibitions whioh I will not fail to at
iend, I have made arrangements with Prof.
Thomas, of Pine Grove; Prof. White, of
Bellefonte, and Prof. Patterson of B -alsfcurg,
to take charge of Normal clashes this Sum
mer.
My visits, this month, have been princi
pally among the German District*,, and il I
mm permitted to judge by the marked respect
and hospitality everywhere given me, I have
every tea oo to believe that this class of cur
citizens is no less favorable to educiaioa ana
the Superinteadency than any other.
The D< parturient will be plessod to learn
that our female teachers (2'2 iu number) are
doing well —living ample evidence that they,
too, eaa teach adults as well a small pbil
dien.
From the statistics before uitj I am con
vince! that at no tiuaa since the creation of
the office of County Superintendent have the
people been mare reconciled with it than at
present, I have not tho vanity to a tribute
this tp any efforts I have made, It is Ice
in the main, to the energy, "kill and co-ope
ration of the majority of our Llistricts and
Teachers.

Boalsburg, March 2. 1861.
Tilt River, Rafting:, &c
Last Thursday the
water in the river commenced rising and the
next Hioinrng the freshet had reached a good
rnaning state. On Friday " rafting in" was
enmmencd. but tho work was not pushed as
vigorsu-ly us usual. Qa Sunday and Mon
day a number of rafts parsed down, but on
Monday night the atmosphere grew cold and
yosterday morning some snow fell, giving a
sudden check to running of rafts, ar.d caus
ing the water .BO fall rcpiq-y. Tnere is DO
telling at this time what prices will be ; but
there i no doubt that an effort is being made
by eastern speculators to control the market
and reduce the rates as much as possible.—
Titis has induced some of our lumbermen to
back their rafts, and unices thore is a
proßpeot of paying prices, it is quite proba
ble tfeat a .considerable quantity-of the tim
ber now eu the river banks will not be mov
ed at all. To-day it is storiniDg and freezing
hard. Raftsman's Journal, March &th.
The Oil Fever
The oil fever is raging fiercely
ia eli portions ef the State. Companies are
being formed in all quarters to engage in the
oil business in the Western portion of our
gsod old Commonwealth, and the people gen
erally speak of the oil regions as a vast field
of speculation where a fortune is made in a
day. There is, ef course, a great deal exag
geration in many of these oil stories which
we bear jepeated daily ; it beiDg such a
smooth subject that the stories slip out very
large, at times. There is a company in this
eeunty composed of some of cur most relia
ble men, but we have not heard what they
have realized from tieir endeavors, whether
they have " struck ile" or not. We wish
ibem abundant success in their enterprise.
Night School-
A night eeheol is in successful
eperation in our town at present, under di
rection of Miss Elizabeth Blakely, a well
known and experienced teacher. The branch
es taught are, Geography and Grammer.—
We think this night school a good institution
and if many parents yrould send their chil
dren to to this school at night instead of per
mitting them to spend their time on the
greets they would receive the thanks of these
children in after years, and have the pleas
ure of seeing tbem grow up useful and iatel*
igent citizens instead of rowdies and rascals.
Kicked by a Horse
On evening,
ft son of Solomon Derr, of Cheapside, was al
most killed by a horse. He was engaged in
doing something in the stable, when he was
kicked by the horse in such a manner as to
render him insensible. When found, he was
lying in close proximity to the horse's heels,
and all covered with b!,;o/J. His face is cut
in a frightful manner.
Change of Clothing—A Caution
A medical
journal giyes some timely advice which we '
commend to all our readers : " Don't be in j
haste to put off woolen garments in spring.— j
Many a ' bad cold,' (who ever saw a good
one?) rheumatism, lumbago, and other aches
and pains, are lurking in the first sunshiny
days, ready to pounce upon the incautious
viotircs who have laid aside their defensive
| armor of flannel. Any sudden changes in
; the system are attended wi;h more or less of
! danger, but the body can accommodate itaelf
; to almost any condition, provided it be as
; surned gradually. The use of flannel guards
against sudden change of temperature. In a
warm day, when perspiration flows freely, if
it be allowed to pass off rapidly, the quick
evaporation carries with it much heat from
the body, and a chill may be produced, fol
lowed by the derangement of some function,
as a cold in the head, or unnatural discharge
from the bowels. Flannel contains much air
in its meshes, and is therefore a slow con
ductor of cold or heat. Evaporation pro
ceeds from it more slowly than from 'cotton
or linen, bence its excellence as a fabric for
clothing. Many persons wear it next to the
; skin the year round, and find it a shield
against prevalent complaints in summer. No
general rule can be given as to this ; it must
depend upon the constitution and employ
; meat of the individual. In all cases, howev
er, flinnel should not be laid aside until the
weather is settled permanently, warm—in
j this latitude usually after the first of June.
! The change should be made in the morning,
never in the after part of the day, when tire
energies are partly abated, and the air is
is usually growing cooler. Many a consump
tion has beau contracted by undressing for
an evening party."
Gone to Conference
On last Monday, Rev.
Thos. Sherlock, Pustoi of the M. E. Church,
left our town ft r Chamberßburg, to attend
the annual sitting uf the Baltimore Confe
rence. During the last ye.'.r Mr. Saerloek
has labored faithfully in tbip community, and
has bpcn instrumental in gathering many
into the church.
On Sunday evening he gave his congrega
tion some items of information concerning
his labors, which will be of interest to our
readers :
During the year he aifended eleven funer
als ; baptized fifteen children and six adults;
lif eu three special ci llections— the collec
tion f r the Tract Soeiety, which anfl.untrd
to nine dollars; the Missionary collection,
which amounted to abeut eighty-five dol'urs ;
and the Conference collection, umouDting to
about twenty dollars.
Ha stated, also, that there were one 1 un
dred and forty six members, and fifty pro
bationers in the station. And that there
were in the Sabbath School connected with
the charge, twenty-fiye Officers and Teahers
and about one hundred and seventy scht lars,
and a Library composed of some three hun
dred vo'umes.
Who stole oar Shawl ?
About three weeks
*ga some scsundrel, whose presence would
disgrace the Eastern Penitentiary, did felo.
nioudy and burglariously enter the Centre
Democrat tffics, aud tako therefrom, without
leave, a certain large wnofon shawl generally
used to protect our body from the chilling
blasts of winter. Now, a man who would
steal from the church is a bad man ; a man
who would steal from a poor widow is a
wi r*e man ; but a mau who would steal from
a printer is a rascal of so deep a dye that
words fail to portray his character. He wo'ld
steal a pan of milk from a blind kittOD ; take
the copper coins from the closed eyes of a
deceased colored gentleman ; takp the last
crust from a starving child, and spank the
child because it was not a loaf; rau de'r his
grandmother fur the gold in her plugged
teeth ; steal the screws of his fathers cqffio,
afvi seta his bones for ivory,
And if you'd tnke a fine tooth comb,
Aud rake down all creation,
You co uld'dt fi,ad a meaner man
la all her mighty nations.
We did not notice this theft sooner, because
we thought the theit would see the error of
ids way and return the property to its right
ful owner ; but up to the present time we
have heard nothing of it. We will give a
liberal reward to any person who will inform
us where it may be found.
Godey for April
As regular as the month
itself, comes this excellent magazine. Each
numher appears batter and more beautiful
than it? predecessor. Tee most magnificent
Fashion Plates adorn it monthly—this fea
ture alone renders it of untold value to the
fttiy sex. It contains, also, a most euparb
Steel Engraving, and-the character of the
literature found iu it is a recommendation to
it in any community. It is worth, to any
lady, more than twenty dollars worth of the
impure and ridiculous noyels published and
read to such an alarming extent in our coun
try, and yet the subscription price is only
throe dollars, Address, L. A. Gudej, 323,
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia.
Wanted.
We want wood. While we write,
wintery winds whistle wrathfully without.
We wish we weie warm. Without wood we
won't work ; we would willingly work were
we warm. We wax warm when we woik
with wood; without wood we wax wrathy
when we work, while winds'whistle woefully
without. We wish we were wealthy ; we
would work, well warmed with wood. Why
who would work without wood? We
would'nt, well ws would'nt, would we? We
wonder wh would !
Opposition to Rarey.
Mr. Calvin Smith, a
colored man, from Wtlliamsport, is paying a
professional visit to our town in the capacity
of a horse tamer. We are told by those who
have seen some of his exhibitions of skill,
that he is quite efficient in bis management
of the horse. Let those who have yioitus
animals bring them along immediately, apd
not wait for the celebrated Barey.

Vocal Music-
PINE IIALL Cnußcn March 7th 1851
At the close of a brief though pleasant
term of instruction in vocal music under Mr.
Jpsoph G. Neff; the Swartzvillp Singing
School convened at the Pine llall Ltithern
and German Reformed church on Thursday
the 7th inst. After spending the day, and
the evening in singing and other musical ex
ercises, the following resolution were offered
and adopted by the school:
Resolved, that we heartily endorse the old
but nevertheless true adage. The tranquil
izing and refining inflence of vocal music has
c larms to soothe the savage breast.
Resolved, that we have undiminished con
fidence in the requisite qualifications of our
faithful and persevering teacher and congrat
ulate ourselves on having procured his ser
vice during the past winter.
Resolved, that we recommend Mr. Neff
as a teacher worthy the patronage of any re
spectable community ; and cordially solicit
his sorvises as teacher at the opening of the
next term of singing.
Resolved, that our thanks are duo to the
trustees and members of the Luthern and
German Reformed Church for the use of
their church building during the day.
Resolved, that we tender our thanks to
the committee of order for the services with
which they favored the school.
The Zouaves-
While :n Harrisburg on the
220 d of February, we saw among the hun
dreds of soldiers present, some two or three
compauies of Zbuaves, and we must confess
their manners arid appearance tickled our
fancy considerably. Their tight jacseta and
loose breeches, together with their low slip
pers, gave them at once the appearance of a
soldier and a elown, wlile their easy and
graceful movensects displayed much agility,
and betokened much practice. We sec in
many of our exchanges, published in differ
ent sections of our country, notices of the
fact that Zmavc companies arc being formed
in many places. Any person who knows
anything about the late war in Europe, must
; certainly acknowledge the fact that the Zuu
j ave is mush superior, in actual service, to the
j common soldier, for many reasons, and this
1 being the esse, it is certainly advisable that
such companies should be formed. Why
may we not, then, have a Zouave company
in Bellefonte? From what we saw of the
unitcrm, we judge that it is cheaper by far
j than the uniform in general use in this coun
! try. Who will make a move ia this (Elec
tion ?
Grand Reception.
Oo last Friday afternoon
.Mr. Win. Montgomery and his fair bride
| returned home from ti eir "Honey Moon vis-
I it," and in the evening they were visited by
I large numbers of their friends. The Band
9ereaaded them at 9 o'clock, and accepted
an invitation to "walk in" and congratulate
their brother musician aud partake of the re
freshments prepared for the occasion. The
ycuTg couple greeted their friends with
smiles, and happiness was written upon their
countenances. May it always be so.
The Eoalsburg Brass Band-
While in Boals
burg the other evening, we paid a visit to
j tho room of the Brass Band, composed of
; sumo twelve or fourteen ycung men of Boals
; burg. They peiform remarkably well fur
! the time they have been practicing. They
I intend to give a Concert in Boalsburg in a
| week or two, and we have no dt übt that the
I citizens of Harris will patronize, liberally,
this fine musical organization.
The Auditors Report.
List week we pub
lished the Auditors Report for the year 1860
for the last time. For three crfour weeks it
tilled up our paper so as to exclude the pub.
lieatio.u n,f our local matter. Now that we
are through with that, wo expect to ,b,e able
to give our readeis the usual ameunt of local
information.
| Falling of a Mill.
On last Monday a week
ago, a portion of Mr. Brockorhoff's mill at
Roopsburg, gave way and fell to the lower
floor, spilling out miscelaneousl.y, about
twelve hundred bushels of grain. The dam
age, however, was net very great, the loss
being only about filty dollars.
Desecrating the Sabbath.
On last Sunday
afternoon we saw some boys of our town en
gaged in playing half. This game is a Sue,
manly and pleasant exercise ; but should be
engaged in, on some other day than the Sab
bath. It looks badly, boys.
New Arrival.
Another large supply of cheap
clothing has just been received at the .Cloth*
ing Establishment of A. Sternberg $ Co.,
which is being disposed of at prices to suit
the tim.es.
Hand Crushed.
Y/e are informed that a
serious accident occurred at the Spring Creek
Axe Factory, one day this week. Mr. Da
vid Barlet was.engaged in doing something
about the machinery, when his hand, was
caught and badly crushed.
A Rare Brand.
We received a fine spec
imen of a lot of cigars just received and for
sale by John Iloffec. They are the finest ci
gars we have smoked for a long .time. Call
and try them. He will sell low for cash.
Convalescent.
Our fellow townsman Mr. Wan.
Gahagan, who has been very ill for a long
time, has became so much better as to be
able to appear on the street again.

J. C. ATKR & Co. Gents: J feel jt my duty to a<\

Having inherited a Scrofulous infection, I have suffered
from it in various ways for years. Sometimes it burst
out in Ulcers on my hands nud arms; sometimes it
turned inward and distressed me at the stomach. Two
years ago it broke out on my h.-iid and covered my scalp
and ears with one sore, which was painful and loathsome
beyond description, i tried many medicines and several
physiciaui*, but without much relief from any thing.' In
fart, the disorder grew woi>e. At length 1 was rejoiced
to icad in the Gospel Messenger that you'had"prepared
an alterative (Sfuivuparilla), for i knew front your reputa
tion that any tiling you made must be good. 1 sent to
Cincinnati and got it. aij.l Vised it till it cured me. I took
it, as you advise, ill small doses of a teaspoon fill over a
in nth. and used almost three bottles. IsV.v and healthy
skin soon began to form under the scab, wjiu:i after a
while fell off. My slcin is now clear, and 1 know by my
feelings that the disease lias gone from niy r.j'steui. You
can well believe that 1 feel what J am saying when 1 tell
you, that 1 Ifold yon to' be uuo of the auoatles of the age,

I have cured with it. in my practice, most of tlio com

effects truly wonderful in the cure of I'aiereal and Mer

In his throat, which were consuming his palate and thb
top of his mouth. Your Sarsnparilfn, steadily taken,
cured him in five weeks. Another was attacked by sec
ondary symptoms in his nose, gin) the ulceration Jiad j
eaten away a considerable part of it, so that I believe tho I
tiislnder would soon reach his brain and kill him. I>ioit
yielded to my administration Of'your Sarsaparilla; the i
vlccis healed, and ho is well ';igain, not of course without !
some disfiguration to hi- fiice. A woman who had boon

sifive to the weather that on a damp day she suffered ex
cruciating piiin in her joints and bones. Fhe, too. was 1
cured entirely by your Harsaparilla in a few weeks. T

CONSTIPATION QR COUTjVENESS.
No one of the " many ills flesh ii heir te"is so
prevalent, so little understood, ami so much ne
glected as Costivecess. Often originating incarc
les-ness, or sedentary habits ; it is regarded as a
slight disorder of too little consequence to excite'
anxiety, while in realitv it is tho precursor and
companion of many of tho most fatal ami danger
ous diseases, aud unless early eradicated it will
bring the sufferer to an untimely grav:. Among
the lighter ovils of which costivencsa is the usual
attendant aro Headache, Colic, Rheumatism/ Foul
Breath, Piles and pthcrs cf Jikp uaiiire, while a
long train of frightful diseases, such as Malignant
Fevers Ahcesses, Dysentery, Di irrhoea, Dyspep •
sia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hysteria,
Hypochondriasis, Melancholy and Insanity, first
indicate their presouce in system by this
alarming symptom, Not unfrequent'.y the dis
eases named originate in Constipation, but take' on
an independent existence unless the cykh fs 'erad
icated in an early stage. From all these consid
erations it follows that the disorder should reef ive
immediate attention whenever it occurs, and u

Twenty Millions of Dollars sayko.—MC.
Spalding has sold two millions of bottlos of his
celebrated Prepared Glue and it is estimated that
each bottle saves at least ten dollars' werth ot
broken furaitura, thus making an aggregate of
twenty millions of dollars reclaimed from total

Glue a hi uscbold word, he now proposes to do tho
world still greater sorvies by curi tig all the ach
iDg heads with his Cephalic Pills, and if they are
as good as his Glue, Headaches will soon vanish
