facts, cr were influenced by other considera tions than the merits of the application. *' There are other matters urged by the re spondents which we pass without expression of opinion. We prefer to adjudge the case squarely upon its merits. Having done so, we are of opinion, that the petition be dis missed at the costs of the petitioners. The evidence taken iu the case made a part cf the record. OPINIO!? or TUE SUPREME COURT. The opiniou of the Court was delivered at Philadelphia, January 7th, 1801, by Chief Jnslice COWRIE, as follows : The school law does not leave the Directors without any discretion relative to sending chil dren to the schools of an adjoining district, and does not seriously impair the district di visions. Each Board has express discretion relative to the school i c it kin the district which each pupil shall attend ; and it would be quite absurd to leave them without it, when there is a nearer school in adjoining district to which the pupil wishes to go. There must be great distance and great diffi culty of access to the schools of the district, before there can be any right to ask to be sent to a more convenient school of an adjoin ing district, and it seems to us that there is nothing of the kind here. Whether the dis tance or difficulty of access is to be regarded as great or not, depends much upon circum stances, such as the age of children, the den sity of the population, and the customs of the locality ; and therefore must be left, in a great degree, to the discretion of the Direct ors ; and cf course, their abuse of this discre tion must be very clear, before they can be adjudged guilty of official misconduct. We must be liberal and generous towards this dis cretion, iu reviewing the exercise of it ; for a strict and jealous supervision would be fatal to the discretion itself. We must not inter pret the law so as to keep the Directors in perpetual fear of the courts, nor so as to set thein to guard against this law, bj so arrang ing their school houses around the district, that few or none can have a chance of claim ing that any school of an adjoining district is more convenient. We think that the dismissal of the plain stiff's petition is fully justified by the reasons assigned by the learned President of the Ses sions. It is well for the school system, for the peace of neighborhoods, and for the securing of discreet men for Directors, that he has so treated the case, as to warn men that they must be cautious in attempting to get the courts to interfere with the discretion of the School Directors. Honorable and trustworthy men will rot accept public positions, if they understand it to be the rule, that all their official acts are ■abject to a suspicious supervision by the peo ple, or by their official superiors. Real worth is generous in its judgment and treatment of and will always expect the same for itself, and will resent the contrary, by refus ing all public functions that arc subject to it. Wo must here add, that this case ought not to have been brought here without a special allocatur. Order affirmed at the costs of the petition ers, and record remitted. FACTS FOR TOOK FARMERS. —"Those farm ers who have most difficulty to make ends meet, always plough most and keep most stock. Now these men take the true plan to keep themselves always poor and bring little." So writes John Johoston, in a letter to the secre tary of our state society ; and he thus illus trates his statement : "Itis a good profit to raise three hundred bushels of wheat from ten acres, but when it takes thirty acres to raise that amount it is raised at a loss. So it is with cattle and sheep—you will see the thinking farmer making four year old steers worth from sixty to eighty dollars each, and his neighbor's at the same age not worth over twenty five to forty dollars." His advice to the latter is, "if his land is exhausted he should plough no more than he can thorough ly manure. Seed with clover and grass and let it rest, and that field will not only pay well for tillage, but it will furnish manure (i'f rightly managed) to make another field of the same size rich also." And then keep it rich, do not run it with grain until again exhausted or " the latter end of that land will be worse than the first."— Country Gentleman. NEXT THING TO AN ANGEL UPON EARTH —A gentleman walking through Knightsbridge o.i Sunday overheard the following conversation between a man and a woman, who appeared as if just come from some pleasure trip into the country: Woman. "Blow me, Bill, bow tired I do feci ! I'm as miserable, too, as a starved her ring. What a miserable world is this ! I wish I'd never been born, that I cio; and now that I am born, I wish myself dead again." Man. "Why, Bet, what's the matter with you now ? What arc you grumbling about ?" Woman. "Why dou't I tell ycr 1 am as mis erable as a rat ?" Man. " Miserable, indeed ! Why, what on earth would yer have? You was drunk Mon day. and you was drunk again Wednesday,and I'm blessed if you havu't had pretty near enough to-day. If that ain't enough pleasure for yer, I'll be blasted if I know what is. I suppose you wants to be a downright hangcl ere upon hearth."— English Payer. A QCEER MISTAKE. —One of the ridiculous mistakes which will sometimes befall soldiers, befell a whole file of the snugly attired mili tary of New Orleans on the day of the Twiggs reception. They were drawn up along the street in front of a building in course of con struction, and close in their rear was a long bed, two feet deep with that plastic composition, ready for the workmen. The space between the files, for the passage of the carriages, being rather narrow, the officer or dered his men to take a step back. They did so, and about twenty feet of " sogers " instan- ' taneously disappeared from sight backwards, the front file,in close order,preventing the rear rank from rcovering themseives when their heels stumbled against the mortar bed. They were submerged, and every soldier of them had his pretty uniform spoiled. They took caps, and absquatulated iustanter. WHAT IS THF. PALMETTO ?—The South Caro linians have udopted the palmetto as an em blem of their State. The palmetto is defined as a cabbage tree. It attaius the bight of forty or fifty feet, and is the tallest of our palms. The 6umnait is crowned with tuft a of leaves, varying in length aud breadth from ope to five feet which gives it a majestic appear ance. Flowers, small greenish, and disposed in long clusters. Fruit about as large as a pea, iuescolent. Wood of no value, except for the construction of wharves. Iu short, it is as nearly worthless as a tree can be. Slrto aujtocrtfsemfnts.
