The Richmond Whig says : A few Sundays ago, a modest young gentleman of our acquain tance attended the morning service, in one of our fashionable churches. He was kindly shown into a luxu iously cushioned pew, and had hardly settled himself, and taken an ob servation of his neighbors, before a beautiful young lady entered, and with a graceful wave of the hand preventing our friend from rising to give her place, quietly sunk into a seat near the end. When a hymn was given out she skillfully found the page, and with a sweet smile that set his heart a thumping, handed her neighbor the book. The minister raised his hands in prayer, and the fair girl knelt, and this posture perplexed her friend to know which most to admire, her beauty or her de voutuess. Presently the prayer was conclud ed, and the congregation resumed their seats. Our fneixl respectfully raised his eyes from the fair fonn he had been so earnestly scan ning, lest wheu she looked up, she should de tect him staring at her. After a couple of seconds he darted a fugitive glance at his charmer and was astonished to see her still ou her kuces ; he looked closely and saw that he uas much affected, trembling in violeut agi tation, no doubt from the eloquent power of tbc preacher. Deeply sympathizing, he watch ed her closely. Her emotion became more violent ; reaching her hand behind her, she won.d convulsively grasp her clothing, and strain, as it were, to rend the brilliant fabric of her drc<s. The sight was exceedingly pain ful to behold, but he still gazed like one en tranced, with wonder and astonishment. Af ter a minute, the lady raised her face, hereto fore concealed in the cushion, and with her hand made an unmistakcablc beckon to her friend, lie quickly moved along the pew to wards Iter, and inclined his ear as she evident ly wished to say something. " Please help mo sir," she whispered, "iny dress has caught, and I can't get up." A brief examination revealed tbe difficulty ; the fair girl wore fashionable high-heeled shoes ; kneel on both knees, these heels of course stuck out at right angles ; and in this position the high est hoop of the new-fangled skirt caught over them, and thus rendered it impossible for her to raise herself or straighten her limbs. The more she struggled the tighter she was bound; she was constrained to call for help. This was immediately, if not scientifically rendered ; and when the next prayer was made, she mere ly inclined herself upon the back of the front pew—thinking, no doubt that she was not in praying costume. writer in the St Lours papers clearly proves—in his own mind—that the threatened comet is to come in collision with the earth, at twenty minutes after ten o'clock, on the lGth day of June. ilnrtifort importer.

Jte#"The majority of the Committee of the Senate, of this State on the I)red Scott case, have made a lengthy and able report, accom panied with resolutions declaring that the opin ion of the Supreme Court announces principles in palpable opposition to the judicial and legis lative history of the Union, and in violation of the plain provisions of the constitution of the United States. That the opinion, except on the question of jurisdiction, being delivered on a case over which the court admitted it hud no jurisdiction, may be justly regarded as obit a dicta coram nun judico , and inoperative as law. That the five judges who concurred in the same opinion made wanton attack on the sov ereignty of free states and an important at tempt to nullify the established laws of the country, and by extra judicial diction caused unnecessary excitement in the public mind in regard to the subject of slavery and ihereby forfeited the confidence and respect due to their exalted station. jJsdyThe V.

GENTLEMEN : Through the kindness of those of your number who assembled iu convention on the fourth inst., for the purpose of electing a Superintendent of Schools for the County of Bradford, the uftdersigued was placed iu that responsible positiow. Having no other means of ascertaining your views upon the important questions pertaining to the educational interests of the county, and of communicating, so far as may be proper for me to do so, before my term of office shall commence, my views and plans, I have thought it advisable to address you through the public press of the county. I am somewhat aware gentlemen, of the difficulties which cluster around the position to which your partiality has electd me, and I feel that I shall be able to do but little, if any good in the office, without your hearty co-ope ration. The schools in your several townships are emphatically your schools, in which yovr own children are to be educated, this of course must cause yon to feel a more lively interest in these schools than any other individual can, still I hope to be able to evince to the friends of the schools, that I feel a deep interest iu their welfare, and am laboring for their im provement, and through the schools for the well-being of the rising generation. I hope to be able, by devoting whatever of talent and experience I may have, to the faithful discharge of the duties conuected with the office, to se cure your confidence, and if I deserve it, I feel assured that I shall have it. I wish yon to feel that my business is to act in concert, with you, not alone, or without your counsel and assis tance, iu furthering the objects we all wish to promote. I am also aware, that the law imposes upon you onerous duties, and requires you to per form those duties without receiving any remu neration. It is my duty, as it shall he my pleasure, to lighten those burdens so far as may be done, by co-operating with you—by combining our efforts to awaken an interest in the cause of education, in the minds of those who have not properly viewed the important question, in all its bearings upon the future well-being of our country, and by giving to each other advice and encouragement. It is self-evident, thut the schools can be improved only by improving those who are to teach them. " Like teacher, like school," is as true now as when first uttered, our schools then, cannot be made good schools, if they are not so now, unless we can have good teachers, where we have not now good ones, to take charge of the schools, not simply to keep them, but teach them. Let us then encourage our teachers to qualify themselves as rapidly and as thoroughly as is in their power to do \ let us offer them every inducement possible, to stimulate them ; to gain such a knowledge of the sciences to be taught, and the best me thods of teaching them, as shall enable them to educate our children thoroughly, and pre pare them for usefulness. It is not expected that there will be a supply of well qualified teachers at the present time, and perhaps not for several years. Yet directors can do very much byway of encouraging those who desire to qualify themselves. I propose, if it meets the views of the directors of the several town ships, to hold, what I shall, for the sake of convenience call teachers 7 drills, in as many lo calities in the county as is practicable, during the latter part of August and the whole of September. " Isy teachers' drills," I mean temporary schools for drilling teachers in the several departments of study, to be pursued in the schools of the county. Commencing, if necessary, with the very rudiments, or ele ments, and proceeding thoroughly, as far as possible, giving instruction at the same time as to the most approved methods of communi cating information in the different branches. The plan will be, to gather so many of the teachers of three or four townships as can be induced to attend, at some convenient place, and give them instruction during a week or ten days,.and at the close of the time, grant certificates to as many of those who have been present, and any others that may see fit to at tend for tl>c puiqiose of being examined, as shall be entitled to receive them. After hold ing sueh a teachers' gathering in one portion of the county, say the North East, or South West, let there be a similar one in some other locality, thus affording these opportunities to as many of the teachers of the county as pos sible. It is true these short drills will not do for the teachers' all that is needed, but, it is to be hoped that they may do something to ward turning public attention to the" subject —something to show teachers what they need. Gentlemen, this plan cannot be carried out without your assistance. If it meet your views, will you labor with me to get up, and carry on successfully, as many temporary normal schools of this kind, during the coming fall, as time and circumstances seem to justify. I should be happy to learn the views of the seve ral boards of directors upon the subject, and as it will be impossible for me, after my term of office commences, to visit each township iu the county before August. I hope to re ceive letters from individual members of the several boards touching the matter. W ill the Secretaries of the boards send to me, at their earliest convenience, the names of the directors in their respective boards, and the names of the officers. I wish, as soon as possible, to become personally acquainted with each director in the eounty. C. R. CO BURN.
