OBE of the most sad and shocking ad
dents that we have over. had occasion to
mention, occurred near Tunkhannock on
Thiwisday, the 4th instant,' at. about 10
o'clock A. at., while many of our citizens
were absent, attending the Centennial ccl;
ebration ceremonies at Wilkes-Barre. A
son of JACOB Bnusoms, How...nn by
name;'agel 12, was shooting at a mark
placed upon the - side of a• sniokb house in
their hack yard, with 'a smooth - rifle. • This
he - had been permitted to do by his fath
er; who, it is said, helped him to mould
the bullets. SOddenly, as the boy was
examining the mark after making a shot;
he hoard a faint sound in the adjoining
field, Where Mri Bnusoss was "cradling
wheat) Going to the place from whence
the noise came he found his father lying
on the ground insensible, with a bullet
hole:in - the back of his head, from which
blood was flowing pr4usely. It seems
that Mr. Btmosa happened to be stand
ing, at the 'very moment. the shot was.
made, in - an.exact line - with - the direction
• taken by the ball, Which, although it had
passel through a distance of , some two
himdred feet from - the muzzle of the gun,
and had pierced two boards, each over au
inch in thickness, - and grazed a peach tree
limb in its course, Still retained sufficient
impetus to predate a inoktal wound.. It
soon became arparent that nothing could
.be done to prevent the death of the
wounded man, which took place about
three hours after l ife accident.— Tunkhan

.. WINTON'S GEOGR APO TM. ' SERIES,-
he present generation has witnessed a
rent improvement in schotil text-books
if all kinds ; and in very few branche;; has
there been a more marked improvement
than in that of physical and political geog
raphy. The middle-aged men of business
who still retain anything like a definite
recollection of the geographical studieslof
their youth wil! remember that the books
from which they were expected to draw a
knowledge of the earth's surface were
mainly made tip of a mass of dry and. un
interesting details and abStract definitions
that Koved mainly useful in exercising
the memory in the school room.. All ac=
curate information is of more or less yal
ue ; but it is probable the knowledge ac
quired by the average pupil from the ge
ography of twenty-five or.thirty years ago
was of a very indefinite and tnistynature.
Certainly the young student of that day
had no such aid to the easy and clear com
prehension of the physical conformation,
the climate and the distribution of plant
'd animal life on this:" terraqueoushall "
tui•that furnished by the two books 'tam
prishig SwisToN's series of geographies.
The 'first book of the series is as inter

chapter on the " History ota River," is a
striking example of this ntodio' teaching.

thisltind, calculated to interest the dull
est pupil in the operations .of na
Well !is the leading industries and 1
of the variety; ;nations of the earth.
The larger Work, called " The Complete
GeOgraphy," is a more comprehensive
treatise for the use of more advanced
el:vises and for reference. The lmok has
several novel features that scent to be of
real value. Among
,these may be men
tioned the globular map, giving a better
idea of the shape of the earth and the re.
larive positions of the different countries
than the ordinary charts. This plate will
golas far as any map can to supply the
place of a pod globe. 'The Polar projee-
Was, showing the 'difference of time on
thP different meridians and the lei3gth of

aldo useful novelties., That'portioa of the
'mirk - relating to our own countri has a

following communication, which we
in the Elmira Advertiser, will endorse ov.
cry word of the complimentary notice
• At. the Theological Club Meeting on
tiesday,ln connection with other inter
esting exercises, the Rev. P. D: Hoskins
read an essay on "Pauperism and thO
Duty of the Church," which they Club re
luntiled for publication. This is the same
paper Mr. Hoskins prepared for the Die.:
cesium Convention, akthe command of his
Bishop, and to which his 00-preisbyters
listened with . attention and' - admiration.
If Mr.. Hoskins wishes to avoid such coin:
mands to write and mils to print, he had
better alter his style forthwith, and never
again write with the grace of Addison,
the sense of Johnson and the research of
Macaulay in the same essay. Ho cannot
well help it, perhaps; neither timed can his
modesty prevent this result aforesaid at
the hands of his clerical brethren. It was
agreed the best place for. that .paper
was in the pages ofthe Advertiser, and it is
earnestly hoped this influential, able and
widely circulated journal will show Mr.
Hoskins no favor such as his native re
serve would crave for him, but keep
promptly in view the favor to the public
which the publi c ation, of this document
will subservo. A CU:111318T.
Sosn ono who seems to know about the'
relation of a good newspaper to the fami

a few weeks becomes an insupportable
privation, 'and they hastea to take it' a gahi,
and pessibly apologize for having. it
