Evidences of pre-historic man have been, and are being - found in almost eve ry parifolthe United States, as well as in I.lle'countries of the Old World.. We read of tko "Stone Age," k‘BrOnze Age, "-and " Iron Age" of Europe and the British Isl e ands ;:eif the lake-dwellings of Switzer land, of the cave-dwellers of France, Bel glunt, and the British Islands ; of the "mound-builders," "cave-dwellers," and " cliff-dwellers" of .the various parts .of the United States; Many relic's have been foimd, iu the Southern and Western t;tatcs, especially in' Tennessee, Colorado, Ohio, 3lichigan, -. 3lissouri . and omc relics have been found in • the , Southern and Western part of Pennsylva nia, but not until recently have we been led t belie a that there was any evidence of 'vre:histuric than in Bradford County. • It has been the i opinion of some that the t skeletons!exlinnied in Burlington t on the McKean farm,. in w ,vre preddstuiticorigin. .A 1 few years : Mee some images were found ou 'Sugar t:reek by.sonte children, and were picked tr,t as " , funny stones.'? Upon ex i amina. tiou we are sitistied that they are relics of :t race In ioi• to' the Indian. •The images are -composed of Stone and indurated clay, ;URI were molded by hand., One i nf the images reritesents a tu i rkey gobbler. The tail, tuft of fuatitets ott; the breast, and n.‘ e k, are o f stone, v. - filch have been set in the cl.ty that haS been*...so molded as to fonn , tile boily. One ibf the images is ~Itilssed wholly of indurated clay. We I,,cte seven of them, no tno of which are ..hke._ Perhaps the historian aml the arch :, ,ivgist from the eastern part of the :,,aitty will ri , e up rout explain.

The timber is (orn 11,000 to 12,liOttfeet above the sea. 11 THERE are nut enough reading charts in use in our _schools. The attention of small pupils can he better secured by the use of charts than by any other method known to use. They save time and labor~. Be :,ure and get the best, then there will be tth nec4l44, for returning goods that ate over-eistinated by certain agents. TO govern well, talk but little, but do what you say:you will, Tun schools of the county are now nearly all in session, and it is hoped that among the many teachers there are a few at least who will send communications for the Educational Column. The column is for the UFO of the teachers, and we trust they will use it. AT a meeting of the - .editors of tlie Bradford County School journal, at Smithfield. it was agreed that there should be no flings on the book question, inserted in the Journal, but some oae has "e'en n most" slipped. TnE teachers of Canton township re ceive $25 per month and board them selves, those of Leßoy $24. Experience, qualification, size and grade of the school has nothing to do with fixing the salary of teachers. WE hear of an ingenious teacher who ought to apply for a patent for her meth od of stopping communication between pupils in the school•room. She ties news papers over their means for communicat ing. TIIERE are.forty peaks in Colorado that ar..e , upward of 14,000 feet in height. Blanco Peak, the highest, is 14,464 feet above the level of the sea.
