THE SCHOOLS OF THE STATE.
From the report of Mr. J. P. \Viet-
EIISHAM. State Superintendent, we.
learn that there are now 1,971 school
districts in the State, and 13,936
schools, of which number 2,545 are
graded. There are 17,142 teachers,
and the average salaries, per month
are—males,-$39 00; females, $3O 52.
The average length of school term is
six months. Whole number of pu-,
pils 815,753. Average number of pu
pils 548 075. The percentage of at
tendance upon the whole number
registered is 67. Average cost of tu
ition for each pupil $97: Cost of tui
tion for the year, $3,500,704 26. Cost
of bailding, renting and purchasing
school houses, $2,455,847 71. Cost
of contingencies, $936,559 70—mak
ing a total cost, including expendi
tures of all kinds, of $6,986,148 95.
The estimated value of school prop
erty is $14,055,632 00.

of uj standing the school la*
was 'Ode general in 1848, at the be
gin' fug
. of 1867 twenty-four districts
if welve different counties, had stub
, ornly refused to put schools in oper
ation, thus losing their State appro
priations and in a measure depriving
6,000 children of the - advantages of
education. Under the operation's of
the laws of 1867, fifteen of these dig
tricts have adopted the system and
recei - ved their eppropriations, and
.
four others have opened their schools
and .will in due time receive their
portion:l'of the- fund. The five re
maining districts —Harmony. Beaver
canuty; Little Mahony, Northumber
land county; Conneaugh, Somerset
county; and Overfield and Washing
ton, Wyoming county—have not yet
opened their schools, but all of them
are expected to do so except Harmo
ny district, Beaver county, under the
control of the 'Economite Society,'
which will probably not adopt the
system so long as the lintitty exists
. under its presebt control. The Soci
ety, however; it must be ouderstood,
supports a good school.
tte. The case of Dr. Taut Schteppe
who is in 'prison in Pennsylvania, is
attracting much interest and some
sympathy in certain quarters. He
had a patient, a Wealthy spinster,
Miss Steinekle. A year ago, she sud
',denly died. So far, the circumstances
are nut singular, for such things will
happen to maiden ladies as well as to
Doctors. But when the Doctor pro-
duced A N%lll. of his patient making
him tlie heir to her large property, it
was naturally supposed that Nature
was not entirely to blame for the
death of the lady. ' The Doctor was
arrested, tried and convicted on the
charge of poisoning her. For some
reason ,or other efforts have been
made for his pardon or a commutation
of his sentence. One of the Doctor's
friends wrote to Berlin in regard to
the matter, and now, it appears that
a person of the same name was, six or
seven years ago sentenced to the pen
itentiary there for grand larceny and
forgery. If this fact is frilly establish
ed, the efforts for pardon or conunu
tation will very likely not be success
ful, for e‘en if the medical testimony
upon which he was convicted was
erroneous, his former reputation, will
Operate against him in arguments
made in his favor.

new protestant church in New York
has just been dedicated, and hundreds
are flocking to gaze at its gorgeous
gewgaws. The .expenditure of sacred
money on this infirm of. cut stone,
stained glass, and damask amounted
to $320,000! On some of the pew
doors we saw the label, " rent $4OO a

widow who has only two mites, to
hear one of the excellent and evangel
ical sermons of the rector of that
church? And what right had that
church to smother their , really able
and-admirable minister under that

Verily it is time that " judgement be.,

*IP A ate has just been decided
by the Supreme ktourt of Alabama,
which is regarded as settling, in prin
ciple, that all this: marriages which
took phial in that State during the
war are null and void ) and that the
issue of such marriages are illegiti
mate. The law requires that licenses
to marry shall be obtained from the
Judge of Probate ; and as the persohs
who undertook discharge that of
fice by rebel authority were no Judges
at all, their licenses, it is said, are of
no value. It is probable ) , however,
that the piihstipie wilt not be carried
to its full extent, but that the doctrine
of the courts of this State, that the
living together of a man and woman
as husband and wife constitnes t a
sufficient marriage vri.ll be adopted
instead.
Mr- A bill for the admission of
Virginia has been prepared by a meta
her of the Reconstruction Committee )
which it is expected will meet the
views of the majority of the. Commit
tee, as it is a compromise between the
two extremes. It provides that the
Legislature shall meet and the mem
bers take the test oath—or affirmation
—of the XlVtb Amendment, not the
" iron clad oath." Then the Legiala,
tare shall, by solenin enactment, de
clare that the present constitution
shall not be changed-so as to deprive
the colored people Of the right to vote,
hold office, sit on juries, and have
their share in the school .fund. On
these fundamental conditions she
shall be admitted to representation in
Congress.
Some years ago a homestead
bill was - passed by congress, after a
twenty years fight, on the part of its

about. li i' Sunday schools. His
argument, however, forms a 'weapon
that cats both ways and on all sides
against Itimsllf; and, since 4 has put
the hatchet into niy hand, I propose
to make'use of it; but only - just-a lit-,
tle:
1. Only last Sabbath, within :four
miles of his residence, I visited two
Union Sunday schools, one of them,
the Keystone. in Burlington TINT.,
has been sustained the past nine
years. almost without intennisiiion..
2. About three Miles further oril.is
another Union Sunday school
in a few
.Sabbaths, will' observe its
fourth anniversarv. Within five
miles of this school; there are three
Churches of his own denomination,
with on ,S`Onday yeltoor of :Inv sort,
"aline; these winter Sabbaths."
"The Sunday school's a fail
ure 1" The now obsolete church
schools • are 'successes! Of course
they are. But some one says„"l
don't see it!" Then loOk in the
Hire, •
3. In_ a straight line, 'across the
river from his residence, another
Union . Sunday school has just voted
not to stop, but to go on through the
winter. Within a radius of-five miles
'froni that point, there are, at least;
three, more churches of his own or
der againothat now hove no - Sunday
school of any sort. "Union Smithy
schools are failures,". Those church
schools aro successes ! To be -sure
they are. You will find them in the
Hip ides. •
The world and hosts of - good peo
ple look on, ih utter amazement, at
the statistical columns of collossal
successes ! That is , eurerves in the
figurP. , : (Interruption here.)
4. At my &Itit-7 who? Brother
Jewell, Superintendent of the Sylva
nia Union Snail:ly school. In Sylva
nia, there is a sprinkling . ofsix differ
ent denominationS, no one of which
is sufficiently strong to keep up a Bi
ble sChnol o itg own a singlo moLth.
Four yedfs nsp, that snhool received
a donation in books tliretigh the
Bradford County ,qunday School Aszo
elation. Now, its Superintendent, in
mid-winter, comes back to us 'with
thirty dollars in pocket for a new
library. Another failure, a heavy
one! fled grant that Ire may hare
many'more :Writ falinres
NoW take back that old -hatchet;
there is no honor about it. Put it
up and away. Bury it deep . in the
earth where it belongs.
HI. LN CONCLUSION.
There is iti all parts of Bradford
county no small "elinutof witnesses"
who will cheerfully testify that, (hi
ring the paSt - six years, the County
Sunday School Associat on has gone
forth bearing precious seed, and that
by' the signal blessing of our Heaven
ly Father, it has, again and again,
returned with rejoicing over the
sheaves gathered for the garner of
the Lord. Within the first nine
months of the year 1866,' welled- re
'ported toms more than eight hundred '
not. converts iu figures, but e:glit
hundred living souls in the Sabb e h
Schooli of-the C..miuty who had, (lu
ring that "dine publicly professed
their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Noiv, if these writers for the BEsonr-,
Whilhave thus publiebr cspreised
their repugnance to traiort Sunday
schools, have not even molts of, en--
couingeniefit to . glee us in a work like,
this Which has f or its object the spir
itual care and nfirturo of the children,
may I not recuiiitiabli ask:. them . item
and forever to hold their peace.
