'flush:4 few day* of my time at home, before
leaving on latour of echool visitations, were busily
spent in answering letters to the number of fifteen
or twenty, from different parts of the county, in ex
aminitg, correcting, copying, and mailing to the
State . Department the Annual Reports an, four
mouths' Certificates recently received by me from the
townships which had not previously reported, and in
various other tketiestery preparations. I, had delayed
my departure a few days' in the hope that all the An
ntud Reports and four - months' Certificates would be
received: But in this I was disappointed, and those
that were not received will,' of course, be compelled
to accept the 'altermitive of awaiting my return,
which will be,scnewitat hastened on their account
After closing the eiaminations of teachers, (Thom
son, May 25,) I visited some of the schools' in Har
mony township, and paid "Hying calls" to others. I
learned - that all of the schools of the District were in
tmceessfni operation but one, and that one might' be;

and took my course down the Starrucca Creek, in k
northeast direction. The road; for the first two miles,
is quite good, much better than formerly, although it
passes through the woods for nearly the whole dis
tance. Large quantities of hemlock bark paw over
this road every season to Nile tannery at Starrucca
Village: Bark is a great source of income to the
piople of this region, many of them making yearly
their whole dependence on that alone. The land in
this region is verv. stony, at least most of it, and
heavily timbered with Iletulock,Maple,, and Beech—
mainly Hemlock.

On issuing from the woods, I found myself in
Wayne county; and, leaving the &armee& a short
distance to the left, I soon came to the residence of
JudgeMundord, (one of the "mot :bite judges of that
county, formerly,) which it very finely situated on the
berth of a irild t rapid strew°, which makes into the
-Starrucca valley from the southeast. After crossing
a bridge over ibis aiream, I turned to the left, and'
was fairly into Elie valley of Staruccs, at the lower
end of which 'is situated a village of the same name.
The valley is from a quarter to half a mile in width,
and upwards of 'mile long. The road. down this
valley is generally wide, but very badly, marred by
ruts cut by the wheels of wagons laden heavily with
!Umber and bark. The soil here is extremely fertile,
beini a rith, sandy loam.
The most of the dwellings in the upper part of the
valley, above the main village, look forsaken and
woe-begone, indeed. There is not. a respectable res.
idenee after passing Judge Mumford'it till you reach
the village, a distance of nearly a mile. There is
one building formerly used as a tavern which' looks
decidedly Ilabylonic. After doh a fruitful imagine
don could easily people It With evil divinities. Stand
ing on the left is a rickety old grist-mill, whose era
'Mg, groaning chorus falls most dolefully upon the
ear. A little farther along, on the right, is the pub
liesehoulliouse, planted in an excavation, and he

'The teacher bad just closed her school, and the " lit

high glee. I asked them. how they liked theft teach

that led me to think they made no " mental reserve

in her one of die most successful teachers of Susque

our county for Wayne. And she it not the only one
that bas dones°, and probably not.the only one that
will do so in future for Aguilar reasons. And our
people stand 'coolly by and see this process, of ruin
ous depletion go on, without applying the proper
remedy. They seemingly choose to be obliged to
complain continually because they cannot obtain
good,'welTqwdifted teachers to fill their schools.
Young, inexperienced, and " stsyEt" teachers are
employed in the schools, and then the people coin
plain berause the pupils do not learn, and the schools
do mit imprbve. Bur/ mane one asks why are such
tesChers employed? Because they will work cheap
mot work, crazily, but will stay in the school
house ftir the fewest coppeim. The educating of'the
children is struck of to the lowest bidder. If good
teachers could be employed as ithesplyu poor ones,
no pour ones would be'employed. It is not the choice
of our people to have poor imagers, but they fix a
money standard according to their ippieriallon of
the seine of education; and all who teach must suit
themselves to this standard. But some wordy fiat

Some l oi . our best female teachers hare 'left our comi
ty timing the put Spring, some to obtain It2oo a year,
and others $lO a month, and in all cum a steady
boarding-place. Now, the question is, why cannot
there teacheri earn as much for as as for anybody
else or why, when they have proven theins.eivea
good teacher., arc they not retained to work, for us
at some rate! Because we cannot afford it, of
course,:
But do not misunderstand me. Do s not ray at once
that tam in favor of in indiscriminate increase of
teachers' wages. I sin not. The trouble lira hero—
we de not discriminate between good and poor
teachers. We pay the poor pace about as much,and
in Beale cases more, than we do the rod ones.—
dfany-of those engaged in "keeping" school, if they
had their just compensation, would starve lu tied
business. So it as and ever, has been. The poor
workeM are very much over paid, and the good ones
are not half paid. What I wish' is to have good
teachers paid good wages, and poor ones, it we are
'Wig; to employ them, (as we are many of them
now older to imply the schools with somebody,
that - can go thecogli with the etremorty,) paid accord

prollfiel of good resifts, in this particular. There is
hardly I luny possibilitybf securing this state of things
unless the directors employ the teachers. The pro.

fret the individual, but the directors, who are reapon.

teachers of their district. The directors of nearly

" Enierfuni looks like a refined farmer;
meditative and quiet. Longfellow like a
good-mitured beef eater. Holnles like a
ready-tu•laugh little body, wishingionly ty be
l' as funny as he can.' Everett seems only
the graceful gentleman, who has been hand
some. I Beecher a ruddy, rollicking boy.—
Bancroft a plain, negative looking man.—
Whittier the moat retiring Qhaker. Bryant
a plain,lserene looking man, dressed in gray.
And thils I might name others. Not one of
theselentlemen can be called handsome, un
less we!except Beecher, who might be a deal
handsomer. In this respect they can bear no
- palm aWay from very intellectual women,
who haye, always become very homely.—
There is nothing in a dominant intellect, in
continuous, far reaching, wearing thought, to
favor the curves of beauty ;—it co acmes a
greater lquantity of tissue and fluids Shan it
supplier. It dilates the eye, but deepens the
lines, sharpens the bones, and ' often wears the
nerve's to a/torturing quickness. So this is
one rearon ehy intellectual women should
carry their quantum of Ugliness.
Let t look at them as they pass. Mrs.
Sigourit ,y, the grandmother •of American
" femalg",literature, in her prime (if we way
believe - 1t4 7 portrait) was quite, handsome.—
Catherine Beecher is homely. Mrs. Beecher

Solis inquiry having been lately Made in
to the settlement of the Moravian Indians
formerly settled in Wyalusing, and then
known by the name of Friedenshulten,' Or
"tents of peace;"•l shall attempt to give a
short history- of that settlement. 4The Ind
inns were settled in this- county long before
the whites became acquai4e4 with it—how
long we know not. lu 1742, tho celebrated
Count Zinzenitorf visited the Wyoming Val.
ley, and .made applieatibn to the Indian
Chiefs to visit the Indian villages, and in
struct the natives in the doctrines of repent
ance and selvatien, through the merits orth — e
Savior. lie was received with the kindness
and politeness of refined society. Their an.
ewer- to him was: "'Brother, you have made
a long journey over the seas,. to preach the
Gospel to the wltitepeople and the Indians;
you did not know that we were here, and we
knewWoliting'of pie_ This proceeds from
allele 1 Come thee-fore to us , both you and
you brethren. We bid you welcome
among us." The Moravian., of whom the
Copt was a leader, had made a settlement
at Bethlehem on the Lehigh, and from that
place were sending . out their missionaries for
the conversion of the Indiana; and from
i
thence the Rev. - David Ziesbuger came to
Wyalusing in 1763—n0w nearly a centu r y
ago. The Indians, seemingly prepared by a
kind Providence, were ready and anxious to
receive him. Bet his stay was not long—
troubles arose from inimical Indians, and he
tied to save his life, to Bethlehem, and on
the return of more peaceful times in 1765, he
returned to Wyllasing, accompanied by oth.
er Christian Indians from near Bethlehem,
and after enduring 'hardships and sufferings
untold, reached their new home in May, .
1765.- Here they went to work and built
them up a village s , on -the lands formerly
owned by Joseph StalfOrd, and now owned
by Levi P.,Stalford, Esq., grandson of the
former owner, and Benj. Brown. The /dim' l
is a verrplessant, one, on a- second rise
from the river, just abOve high water mark,
and about two miles from the mouth of th 4
Wyalusing creek. The village contained
some forty or fifty well built houses after the
English fashion, with chimneys and windows,
and a street about eighty feet in width; their
church was in the centre of the village, with
a bell—the first eft placed in a meeting
house this tide of theilltie -Mountains. .
There they lived in peace some seven
years, enjoying the blessing of the gosper.—
The remains or nlllls are nearly obliterated;
the place where the old well was Is - still to
be seen. The burying,ground was situated
below, or down the river from the village.
There was a more ancient place of interment
higher up the river on 'a lower fist, where the
river has washed away the blinks, exposing
'the bones of those that were bUried there.—
The writer of this, between thirty and
_forty
years ago, in company with otherh, saw ma
ny of those bones where the bank bad been
washed away. In 1828, Mr. John Stalford,
the present owner of the land, found, In one
place, three ,keletone lying parallel and close
by each other; one a very- large skeleton,
and some of the bones in a good State of
preservation: The bone from- the shoulder
to the elbow, when measured by a very tall
man'over six feet high, was four filches long
er than his. If this hone J 1 .43 any guide, this
person when, tieing' must have been More
than eight feet high.
'At the head of these skeletons was placed
a brass kettle, with quite Ai - Jumbo' of small
bones partly decayed, supposed to be of
some animal, perhaps a raccoon or wood
chuck, for food for the des man to eat on
his journey, and a spoon partly decayed.—
About the same time Levi P. Stalford, Esq.,
found other skeleton% with an earthen crock
placed at the bead of the bOnes, filled in part
with the same kind of bony., and prepared in
the same manner as the• - other, This grave .

reminded them of many great avers and , ,

and then offering up piaise and thanksgiving
to Him, with fervent supplication for his
peace and protection on their journey. The
company consisted of 241 persons; brother

and brother Rothe by water. The land par.

How the Indians Made Stone Arrow-heads.
The beads of Indian arrows, spears. jtive
lins, &c., often founa in many parts of our
continent, have' been admired, , but , the pro.
cess of forming them conjectured. The
Caleb Lyon, on a recent visit to California,
met with a-party of-Shasta, Indians, and, as
certained that they_ still used those weapons;
which in.,must tribes have been superseded,
by rifles or at least bfiron pointed-arrows
and spears.: Ile found 'a man who could
manuficre them, and 'sale him i tuat"wOrk
all parts of the prncess. The. description
which Lyon wrote and communicated to the
American Ethnological §ociety, through Dr.
E. li. Davis, we - copy below: The Shasta;
Indian seated himself upon the floor, and lay

of compact taloose slate, with one blow of his

of continuous blows, every, one'. of which

bim,prominently-beftwe-the'publie, and the
following sketch of his life, from the N. lc'
Courier, will not be without interest at this
time:
A native of Piedmont, Garibaldi, like his
i father and grandfather, early in life became
sailor, and performed numerous voyage/Lip
the Mediterranean and LeVarit, until, having
joined the Secret Society of Reliant Patriots,
he was condemned , to death, and, escaped
from Genoa to Marseilles in.disguise. In
one of his early voyhgcs he had visited Rome.
Having subsequently spent a few months
at Rio Janeiro, and learned the -condition of
the Republic of Rio Grande, which had re
honed against the tyranny of• the Brazilian
Empire, he enibarked with General ROsetti
in a email vessel to go ki their assistance,
and captured a few Coasting vessels on ,his
way, under die authority of the flag of the
new State. He was soon after attacked, in
the Parana, by.,a Brazilian '
vessel of much
superior force, and laid - senseless on his deck
by a shot in the neck, which rendered him
unconscious till after the repulse Of , the one:
My.
Here commenced his military life, which
continued fourteen yeaYs in South 'America,
and through the revolutions of 1848.-9 in It
aly, and afforded a varieti , of scenes, of al
ternate trial,- success, and disaster,
seldom
paralleled. 'A chief object at which he con-
stantly aimed; in hilsromantic South Ameri;
can military career, was to traip to arms Ital.
lens who were iu exile in those regions, and
to prepare them to fig,ht,for their own coun
try. Such was his success, that, although he
commenced under - manf adverse circ u wstaac
es, "The Italian Legion soon began to reap ,
laurels, and at length took the front rank in
the armies for disdpline, 'daring, 'constancy,
and success. • In his services in Italy during
the last revolution, he bad many of his old
soldiers in his 'files; and-doubtles.s some: of
the survivors must be with hips ,• now, to
