THE following 'teal from the Montrose
Demaerat ought to be read and observed
by all Postmasters :
"Wit respectfully call the attention of
postmasters throughout the country to
the fact that the . sending of a paper which
is not taken from the office, back -to the
pnblication office, with the word "re
fused," or even the longer inscription,
"this man don't want the paper no lon
ger," written on the margin, is not the
notice to the publisher, which the law
contemplates, and which under his O.ith
of office. the Postmaster is compelled to
give. The Department furnishes a blank
especially designed for the notification of
publishers when papers are hot take
inom the office to which they are address
A. and it may interest small Potmatiters'

WE 11AD the pleasure one day last
week of 'visiting our excellent graded
school, in wmipany with County Superin
tendent KEENEI . c. Although many of the
more advanced scholars had beed excused
for the afternoon in order that they might
witness the exercises at the Institute,
those who remained were attentive to the
instruction uttered by the Superintendent,
displaying by their prompt and intelligent
answers, thorvugh drilling, and mire
than an ordinary degree of comprehen
sion. Prof. RYAN has just reason for
pride at his success as an instructor,and
good fortune in having such an exception
ally intellizent band f
KEENT- - ..y spent an hour -or more
in drilling the scholars iu reading and elo
cution.' We were most agreeably struck
with both his method and manner. Many
instructors have the best theory; without
understanding how properly to apply it
practically: but our Sulerintendentis not
of this class, awl we doubt not the ideas
awl instruction imparted to the scholars
on this ,N2casion will be productive of
much iz,o(l. The scholars fully compre
hended him, and therefore received the_
instruction with pleasure and profit.

would do it. The unsuspecting member
of the (.•lal, said he would undertake the
task for the sum named. charging no

was immediately consuanthated, - ; and the

Tsls County Commissioners ate Um,
engaged in bearing appeals from the're
cent triennial assessment. The valuation
of many of the townships has been mate
rially reduced. Some dissatisfaCtion is
manifested at the action of the( board in'
increasing the rate from four . to urea
mills. The low rate was fixed last year.
because the Conimlasionera saw that with
the surplus funds on band the amount
raised by a four mill tax would be sufil=
eient to meet the ordinary expenses of
the year. But during the curreqt year,
the itridge at Athens is to be paid for,
and there will be other extraordinary ex
penses to be provided far, so that the
Commissioners should, not be criticised
too severely. They have acted for the
best interests of the county. The econom
ical and judicious administration of the
officers during the first year of the new
board, has fully justified the expectations
of, their friends and "reflects the highest
credit upon them and their efficient and

HattrEn's for MAttert. T The March
number of this excellent magazine hits
been on our table for several (ins. It is
entirely worthy of its predecessors, and
full in its One hundred and ft:irty-four
pages of what is entertaining, interesting
and valuable. -The editorship of this pe
riodical is well placed. It its in the hands
of llEs RV M. ALDEN, a young man of ex
quisite taste and the most relh.ed and cud
lured jud;.l - ment.: lie should have the
ere lit of the conduct of the magazine. It
belongs to him. The number for March
opens with'an article which will be of -in
terest to many, "Con,iimisirary Art iu
Prance.•' It gives wood-cuts of a num
bs: of pieces of artists mentioned and
-portraits of the most famous ones. It Is
quite a pkasure Co know how one. like
MEssIoNEs, who can get $O,OOO for. a
small picture, looks in the face. Auc,CST
DORE' looks like anything but the man
with the reputation he has, if the cut b'
a correct one, more like a round-faced bar
tender, or the head-waiter in a French
restaurant.. The cuts of the paintings are
fine, wanting only the color to make them
quite perfect. An,account of the "Prus
sian Wends and their Home," strangers
probably to everliody, follows. It is nice
ly illustrated. There is an article on.
"Litchfield Hill." with likenesses of some
of its eminent men; a paper on "The Dis
tribution of Animals,' with illustrations
showingmome of tee strangest- birds and
beasts known to man: "A - Summer
Cruise among the 'Atlantic Islands," "8
Popular Exposition ol some Scientific Ex
periments,' and a short story. " About
Dolly," with those above make up the
illustration portion of the number. The
serials, "A Woman-Hater." " Erema "
and "Garth," are continued. There are
- three short stories, an article On "Webster '

which, with the editorial departments,
comprise a number which is tit to set be

about these female teachers that is really
exhilarating to one who is tired with
straight-laced conventionalisnis.- 'We wit
nessed in this cdueational collection some
variety. jest enough to !end an additional
charm. There was tlie;fall girl, who evi
dently regretted that she ~w as not of a

of her tall sister; there the blonde, ,as
rosy its a frosty winter's_ day and good
health could paint her—a 4 the lid' brit
nette. A latge number of them were
good-looking—tone .rer!) pret ty—none at
all ill-looking. The young male leaches
certainly did uot appear to advantage in
the society of their fair associates. The
conver-at ion of these girls bad a sparkle
about it like champagne,—their manners
were easy anti their depoitment genteel.
On the contrary, the young men showed
aWkwartiness of movenient, and
inful embarrassment. A little contact
with the world, however, will iemedy
these little defects.
looking ..iver the elle( ry faces of the

sweethearts, and for the older ones to get
wives, and we rather guess the boys - were
of the same mind, And we suspt et the
Misses held pretty much the same opin
