pliuientary manner:—" The Harrisburg Telegraph of tin

Prof. C. R. COBUKN, the distinguished educator, as Su
prricteudent of Comrauu Schools of the.Stateof Pennsyl
vania. Prof. Cobuin has been zealously and successful
ly identified with the cause of education for tflirty yean
He formerly taught in this village, and is well and favor
ably known to the public. At the time of his new ap
pointnient he was Superintendent o! Common Schools i
Bradford County, Pa The high and responsible offici
now conlern-d upon him reflects honor on Gov. Curtii
and the appointee. The Governor has evinced an en
ligatened regard for the great and sacred cause ofeduca
tion in the appreciative selection of one who. by his ex
tensive experience, well tried abilities, high more l wortl
and zealous devotion, is eminently ti* ted lor the position
The cause of education in our sister State cannot fail I
be stimulated an 1 advanced by this judicious appoint
ffivnt ; and we congratulate the State and Prof. Cobun
on their interesting and important relatiens to each othci
The cause of education is greatly indebted to the aid
and efficient Chief Magistrate of Pennsylvania.
FTST We learn that Mr. J. X. DURAXD, O
Bates County, Mo., and formerly of Choconut, Susqui
banna County. Pa., was killed by the guerrillas on th
2-ird of April la<t. He wan in the Union army .and whili
passing from his home to the camp at Butler, he wa
surprized by one of the bands that have so much inlestet
that region, porsi ed and shot. The bold share lie ha
taken in the Union cause, and his activity against th
rebels in that vicinity, had marked hiin as a victem ol
their most violent enmity. Since his connection witl
the army he had been unable to visit his house without t
military escort, and his premises have often been visiter
by the guerrillas in search of him and his property cat
ied off.
Shortly sfter the breaking out of the rebellion in 1861
be IT as fired upon by a seceesionist, the ball passinj
through his arm near the shoulder. He came to Pa. fo
•afety, and after 3 months absence returned to Mo. and
joined the Union army. The Federal and Confederal
armies have alternately quartered on his farm, and bis im
provements—fences, Ac., have been destroyed. Very reck
lessly he had visited his home alone, and accompanied by
his boy, 11 years old, he set out on his return to camp
am! when ihe boy found him after the pursuit, life was
extinct and the rebels wers hurrying off with his empty
horse. Awful siglt for a boy to witness ! He was the old*
eetson of Mr. DANIEL DIRASN.of Derrick township, in
this county. This is only another item among those thai
*re now so sadly realized in thousands of homes all ovci
the land.

The Collegiate year is divided into three terms of 14
weeks each. The Anniversaiy exercises will be held at
the close of the Spring term.
No deduction will be made for absence, except in COM
of protracted illness of over two weeks.
Pupils boarding in the Hall will furnish their own tow
els, Ac., and the table silver a. their option. It is desira
ble that they also furnish their own bed and bedding
when it is convenient, but when otherwise, these will be
furnished at a slight charge.
It is strongly recommended that students from abroad
should board in the Institution, as better opportunities
for advancement in study are thereby secured.
Normal Department— Special exercises are arranged
without extra charge for those preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. C. R. COBURN, the
able and well known Superintendent of Common School®
in the county, has kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct the course to be pursued.
He will also be present to conduct its exercises as often
as practicable, and will deliver frequent lectures on the
Theory and Practiceof Teaching, as also on other subjects
connected with Normal training.
Those persons, therefore, intending to engage inteach
ing for the winter, will find it greatly to their advantage
to be present during the Fall term.
Prof. Coburn's connection with the institution is not
such as to in any way interfere with the discharge ol the
regular duties of his office.
No pains will be spared, on the part of the Faculty ai d
Trustees in sustaining the high repnlatation the institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, and in rendering it more wor
hy of future patronage and support
