Senator, and thereby electing bim to the offia3 for li years (roin the 4th of March next, and aiding, in the defeat of Jobn W. rorney,, one of the most ri;id pro-slavery men and most dishonest politicians in the State. The prospect of a harmonious and united Democracy here, in Schuylkill coun ty, in support of Mr. Buchananse Administra tion, is any thing but flattering, M the present time. There appears ,to be a regular divi sion in the Democratic ranks of Schuylkill County. Many prominent democrats of the county uphold and. justify the .course that Messri.

During-the coldest weather in December, we visited the schools of Ararat and Thom son, and found the teachers doing the best they conld,probably, under the circutnatatica. We found only one house, of all we visited, that was comfortable for the scholars. That, was situated in the eastern part of Ararat, in what is known as the Kay district... It i neat, whits house, standing in the edge of the forest, which protects it from the cold winds of winter and the heat of surr.mer. The teacher manifested a commendable interest in her work: She had to contend-against that intolerable evil,soprevalent in all our schools —non-uniformity of books. It stares every leacher in the face at every turn- , --it is the gail of all his happiness pedagogical "—and unless some active measures are instituted at once to banish it forever, theimprovement of our schools must be . tallied.forward at a great disadvantage. In many parts of the State the Directors purchase the first supply .uf boOks at wholesale rates and put them in to the schools, and then provide one or more places in the town where the same kind of hook;s may be bad by the parents when , any are. needed, either to take the place of those worn out or lost, or to form new classes: 7 Something shank] be-irkule, at least The evil, viewed in the light or profress, is really in supportable.

MICRISRi EDI:1'010 :v--111 a communication on Visiting Schools, published in your paper some weeks Mace, oar County Superintend ent Was chargeO With being derelict in duty, in not having fUlfilled the requirements of the law in this important particular; but, from representations; made and assurances given by himself and others since, it seems that the ac cusation was shade without a full knowledge of the facts existing at the time; therefore, while adhering lo the truth of the statements set forth in that article, justice to Mr. Tewks bury requires ;an acknowledgment for liar. ing judged huri thus prematurely, which cheerfully tender, with an explanation of some of tbecauses th4t led to the production of the article alluded to. It. is a trite saying that what has been 4one once can, under like cir cumstances, be iiime again : hence conclusions were drawn that if the Superintendent of Lan miter County has, besides holding several teachers institutes and a Normal School of 3 mentheclumtlim, visited 405 schools once and some twice all in the space of one year, as he assures us be has done, certainly, inas much as the schciuls in this county number but 260, we cm reasonably expect that each school should at ieist receive one visit fro - m our Superintendeht. Another fact (pit' . haps not generally known) is that in considelittion of the present increas ed salary, a pledge was given that each and every ach.;ol shcihld be visited throughout the County ; hence we were led to believe that this feature of the law would be carried out in letter-and a`p irit, which lam happy to state-from present indications I trust will be done. I amt well aware that the duties devolving upon . aSuperinteadent are both arduous and disagre.eabla; therefore, being a believer in the maxim that "the laborer is worthy of his hire," I would not, wish to add thereto. Nev ertheless, when the direCtors in addition to this; are called upon by the State Superin wildest to pay chit hundreds of, dollars fur visiting schools in;,eitch county (as under their instructions they becoming); will have to do) farbearance !ugly ceases to be a virtue, and it behooves the tax•payeze oft he Common wealth to pause 4d reflect whit worse un der tie cireannsta*s is best to pursue.

The interest that it awakens, in both teacher and -scholars can he known on ly to those who-witness it. Almost the first information communicated by the teacher to the scholars on their first day's meeting in ,School is that the county Superintendent will visit them and compare their school with others of the town. ." By this means scholars nre Stimulated to -, labor that they' 'may excel. Each teacher endeavors to present the heSt drilled classes and the inquiry is frequent, how does my school compare with the adjoining ones ? ThiS :opens the way for suggestions upon the_ dilyrrent methods of teaching at a time when the teacher is best ready to receive it.. These visitations produce a degree of un tbrtnity in teaching that could by no other means be at tained." . • EQrITY.' Mysterious Murder in Few York. One-of the most atrocious murders on rec ord came. to light on Saturday, in New York city. Dr. Harvey Bureell, an eminent Dent ist and Surgeon, residing -in Bond street, was found, about - eight - :o'clock in the mornimr; lying dead con the floor of his office, in the sekond story of his house. He was last seen alive late on Friday afternoon. - When the death was first ascertatioal, it was announced in the afternoon papers that he had died sud denly from thb bursting of a blood vessel.— But a Coroner's inquest has revealed i shock ing state 'itf ailitirs. It .seems from the evi. dettee,lhat . Dr. Burden wits very -wealthy, ! being worth nhout $lOO,OOO. Ho Was a Link -director,: and an active man among the medical fraternity. - Ile; owned the house he lived in, which was, - a large and handsome . !bur storied brick building,with marble steps, doorway, window frames, etc. Theinterior was superbly furniShed. flu was a baChelor. The basement was occupied as :1 kitchen and dining room. The first floor had two reepp r.tion rooms, and the aecond floor had the doe .tor's office and bed room. The house was keptnstenSibly as a boarding house by - a Mrs. Cunningham; with whom - boarded the Doctor, her two daughters, and two single igentlemen. The'Doctor only slept and breakfasted there, taking his Meals at the Metronolitan Hotel. ,It bein , r" proved in the evidence that the Doctor and Mrs._ Cunning haM maintained a suspicions connection, and that they had quarrelled and, talked about parting, ' Mrs. C.. produced before the junv a certificate of marriime - with Dr. Burdell, which-was attested to by the officiating cler gyman. - When, the. body of . the Doctor was • found it was perfectly .saturated with blood, as was also the carpart of the room, the doors. walls, chairs, etc .; being covered ' with b1a.,13 , . showing evidently - that a desperate struggle had- occurred., -'The body contained fifteen sleep wounds, made with a kniteeight inches long in the. blade ; one of these wounds sev ered the carotid artery, and Must have corn pleted the murder. The others - were stabs in various parts of the body -and cuts upon the hands, face, etc., as though the murder - ers had cut him as he warded off the blows or seized the door knob.:_ Around his throat was the mark of a cord, which must have been drawn tightly, and the lungs were found to be Lull of air; so -that it is clear that the attempt was.first made to strangle him with a rope thrown over his head -from behind. after the manner oldie street garOtte. From the appearance of the room, he seems to have b ee n sitting in hi: chair,wlrdsome one came from belind, evidently from the closet door. The design probably was origirtally to stran gle him, and then carry out- the body, and .leave it somewhere in the street,. as though done by the garotte :banditti.: From the room, the marks of blood were traced up along the entry and stairs into the fourth sto ry, into a store room where lay a man's ,bltody, shirt and night Shirt, and a bloody sheet... From there the biped was traced into the front room .of the same story, 'where, up on the floor, the stains hid :been carefully, Covered with spermaceti. .A: grate in that room had contained a fire -.during the night, Which had evidently been, extinguished sud denly by pouring water upon it, as the coal was only partially consumed, and the mantle etc., were covered with ashes.. In this story the murderers must haVe cleansed themselves. It appeared in evidence that the Doctor was jealous of one of the- male boarders, -a Mr. John Eekel.whom he seernsitoliave detected in secret with Mrs. Cunningham. 'On Tiles day . night Mrs Cunningham went with this pan down into the basement, and told the servant girl to go to bed. • She went. The next morning Mr. Eckel did not appear at breakfast, though he usually did so. The knife found in the room where the murder was committed, is mid to have- belonged to him. Mrs. Cunningham confessed in . her ev idence, the sending :the :hervant tObed,. and also admitted: that Eckel was with her. The minister W married her could ..not identify It L turdell as e man to wm . ho she was married and said th t he ,supposed at the time that .the person wore false whiskers.
