oHovaltv and enthusiasm.
The Kmperor decided not to receive any for-

adopted an address.
Piaiiozi was in close confinement, and will
be tried about the middle of May.

Earthquake in Simoda.
One of the Ixtrgrst Cities in the Empire De
it rotted — Extraordinary Experiences oj a
Hussion Frigate.
From the North China Herald Extraordinary
we take the subjoined interesting news from
la pa n :
We have been favored from a private source
with the following extracts of a letter from
an officer of the United States steamer Pow
hattan.
•• The island of Xiplion, in which Simoda is
situated, was visited, on the 23d of December,
bv a severe earthquake, which was most dis
astrous in its effects. The city of Ohosaea,
one of the largest in the empire was completely
laid waste. Jeddo itself suffered considerably,
hut has since suffered more seriously from the
effects of an extensive conflagration. The town
of Simoda, on our arrival, presented a complete
scene of desolation and ruin. After the shock
of the earthquake, the sea commenced bubbling
up a> it were along the shore, and then reced
ed with great rapidity, and as soon returned
with such increased volume as to flood the '
whole town to the depth of six or seven feet, 1
>,vn ping away houses, bridges, and temples, j
and piling them up in a mass of ruin.
•• Five times during the day did the sea j
advance and recede in this manner, spreading
desolation far and wide. The largest junks in
the harbor were driven from one to two miles
above high water mark, where we saw them
lying high an 1 dry. About 200 of the jioor in-'
inhabitants lost "their lives bv the overflow, the {
remainder saving themselves by fleeing to the
mountaius with which the town is surrounded.
" The Russian frigate Diana, having Yiee-
Admiral Pontiatine on board, was lying in the
harbor at the time, engaged in finishing up the
treaty they had made with the Japanese.—
Immediately after the shock was felt, the water
in the harbor became convulsed to such a
degree in eddies and whirlpools, that in the
spare of thirty minutes she swung entirely
round forty three times twisting her chains up
into knots: so rapid was the motion that the
people on board could not keep their feet and
all were made giddy. When the sea receded
it left the frigate in eight feet water on her
side, when her usual draft was over twenty one
feet, t>u its return, it is stated, the water rose
five fathoms above its ordinary level.
"On its again receding, four feet only of
water remained, so that they saw the stocks of
their anchor above the water. The heaving of
the bottom of the bay was then so violent that
the frigate—although, as I said, in only four
feet of water—was moved bodily past her
anchor. The officer momentarily expected that
the bay would become the outlet of the sub
terranean fires, and that they would lie engulph
ed in it. When the frigate again floated they
saw her keel and rudder, which had been
wrenched off, floating alongside, and the ship
filling with water. 15y getting sails under her,
they managed to get her afloat, and the next
day, things having keep quiet once more, they
hauled her into deejKir water. Occasional
shocks of earthquake still continued to befell,
hut none were atteuded with serious conse
quences.
" After repairing damages as well as they
could, and having rigged a temporary rudder,
and the weather becoming fiuo, they attempted
to take the ship around to another bay, where
the would be less exposed, and they would
complete repairs (Simoda being badly adapted
for .such a purpose ;) but when within seven
miles of their harbor a gale sprung up—the
hundred Japanese boat that were towing them
abandoned them (not, however, till they had
got out all of the officers and crew.) and
shortly after the gallant ship sunk in deep
water, the officers and men saving only the
clothes they stood in. Notwithstanding all
their misfortunes and the dangers through
wiiioh they passed, they only lost one man,
and lie was aecidently killed by being jammed
I'}' one of the guns which had gone adrift."
ESCAPE OK EIGHT CONVICTS. —Eight convicts
cn aj M |j from the Auburn State Prison between

their egress through, the south wall by a hole
which had evidently cost them time and labor
to make.
In order to make their escape, after getting
'hroogh the wall, they were compelled to swim

The following Resolutions, as unfinished business, will
be considered :
Resolved, That there ought to l>e in each township, a
I School Officer, whose duty it shall be to inspect Teachers
I and visit the Schools in his respective township, either in
I connection with the County Superintendent, or alone.
Resolved, That the study of Written Arithmetic should
j not he commenced by the child until he is of sufficient
age to fully appreciate and perfectly understand the prin
ciples of the science, and it should always be preceded by
I a thorough drilling in Intellectual Arithmetic.
Resolved, That every Teacher should be a subscriber
i for, and a constant reader of, some Educational l'eriodi-
I eal; and also it is his duty to attend, if practicable, edu
cational meetings, and in all other ways seek his own im
provement in the subjects to l>e taught, as well as the best
and most approved methods of teaching.
Resolved. That we respectfully and most earnestly so
licit the hearty co-operation of all the School Directors of
the County iu carryiug forward the great work of educa
ting the rising generation.
Resolved, That Teachers should lie sufficiently acquain
ted with Physiology, and the laws of health to lie able to
guard with care the health of those committed to their
charge.
Resolved, That it is the imperative duty of every teach
er to sustain good order in school, and adopt such means
as shall secure that important end, even if it become ne
cessary to resort to corporeal punishment.
Mr. COLT proposed the following amendment:—
That order is essential to the success of a School. In
maintaining this corporeal punishment, should he a last
resort, hut yet its infliction may be the imperative duty
of the teacher.
The Committee on Text Books will make a partial re
port.
An Essay will lie read by Miss FANNY O. ANIIRCS, of
Sniitlifield." Prof. JAMES M'WILLIAMS will deliver an Ad

V. J • TER, patented September 5,1854, costs ONLY
THREE DOLLARS, and is therefore within the means of
every man who plants half an acre of ground. It is sim
ple in its construction, and executes its work with accura
cy and despatch on various kinds of soil.
Unlike other planters, it has no gearing to get out of
repair, but is carried iu the hand like a cane, and can lie
worked np hill or down; as well as on level ground, plant
ing as much ground in a day as five men can with hoes. —
It may also be used to plant beans, as it can be guaged to
drop as few or as many kernels as desired. It is meeting
witn unprecedented success everywhere it is introduced,
having been presented at several Agricultural fairs, and
always without exception received the highest premium,
being the best and cheapest implement of the kind in use.
The undersigned. having purchased the right of selling
the said Planters iu Bradford county, will canvass the

wish, or dispose of Town Rights to any who wish to pur

DAVIS' PLATFORM BEE HIVE.
TMIE subscriber having ts-en appointed Agent for the
JL counties of Bradford. Sullivan and Lycoming, has the
pleasure of calling the attention of the public to this useful
invention. The liive is truly a great improvement on the
old square box ; and the facilities it aflords for taking out
the honey are as harmless to the bees, as they are profita
ble to the owner. No resort to droms and pans is needed
to hive the increase in the spring, and no resort to brim
stone, tire and fagot is required to conquer the l>ees and
procure their lionev in the fall. As the bees multiply,
new sections are added to the hive ; and when the honey
is wanted, they arc returned accordingly. The arrange
ments for feeding the bees, for changing them to different
parts of the old hive, or to a new one. for ventilation, are
unquestionqbly ahead of anything hitherto known.
A description of this Hive is impossible, without refer
ence to a model, but an examination will satisfy unv one
ol its advantages. For sale, Town and Individual Rights,
with books, bill of feed, Ac., giving full directions for ma
king the Hive, and managing the Bees.
