They were three sisters, triplet born, and were in July, visiting in Honesdale, Pa:, after a reparation of several years. They were born i n Goshen, Litchfield County, Conn., in 1.788. Their psren s were Gidton Horlburt and Anna fluriburr, whose maiden name was Bead,. Their (miler was incidentally killed, by being drawn into a cog- - wheel of a grismill, when nine months old. Their mother is deceased: She was married three times.: Hurlburt was her fiat hut-band. Mrs. Grennel - has hid four children—two eons and two daughters: Mitt.'Busbnell nine children-_--fout sons and fivesdaughters; and Mrs. Luddington one child—a daughter. : Mrs.. Grennell lost ber husband, Michael Grennell gov. 30th, 1857; Mrs. Bushnell's husband, Pope Bushnell, is still living, and Mrs. Lud dington lost her husband, Theron Ludding-, ton, forty one years 'ago. - The_ three sisteri moved away from the place of their nativity when they were about eighteen years of age. Since then they : haye lived in different pasts of:the Country, mostly if not entirely upOn farms. None of them have been married but once. At one time, from fifteen to twenty years ago, they all lived within cannon-shot of each other, at Bethany, Wayne County, Pa. Mrs. Grennell is the largest, and Mrs. Luddington the smallest, of the three. Their personal resemblance is rely striking; Mrs. Grennell and. Mrs. Bush nell resemble each other so much, that even Mrs. Luddington has mistaken one for the, other. I cannot tell them apart, -and-bave . often taken .one for the other, though well acquainted with boll. Mrs. Greve& new resides at Rushville, Susquehanna - County, Pa.; Mrs. Bushnell in Dyberry; sod - Mrs. Luddington in Texas township, Wayne County, Pa., They all enjoy excellent health, which I suppose is owing to having good constitutions, and the fact that they are never idle. Though in comfortable circumstances, they are al ways busy about some profitable and healthy employment. They go about their - daily aro cat:ons cf household work "spry as crickets," if I way be allowed the homely comparison. Reit minds are perfectly sound, and I. am happy to say, they all bid fair for many more xesurs.Lif _ W._ H NM:ISLE, Pe.

The Supreme coutt of Pennsylvania not long since determined that the county of Alleghecy was liable fo her bonds, and' issued a mandamus directing the Commissioners to levy a tax for the -payment of the interest thereon. In that case the constitutionality of munoipal subscilp• tiona was re-affuned Judge _ Grier, in his charge to the jury, iaid that he was bound to submit to the decision of the Stipreme Court of this State to whOin alone is committed the high function of declaring the Constitutional powers of the Legislature.

Theis is no place where a perfect system is more needed than in schools. As Order the first:Jai Of, heaven; so should it be in the sidiOldenotn. Childien love order and system. Shit when once established, it is easily maintained. 'lle adult mind may be so educated that, it rosy study and , reflect a midst noise and conflation. but not -so with thrtnind of the child. • The attention is eas ily diverted; and • the mind filled with the thoughts which the .passing events suggest. Everything; therefure,whice Seri/es to awaken attention, or even attract the, notice of chil dren, should bb avoided: Every unusual . noise,dasplay, or parade, calls the mind of the scholar from his lessoii.

The mind, like 'the muscles of the body, ieluiresa change of action or rest. The younger the bbild; the store need of Order and system May even elist, though seeming disorder .and confusion reign. For - instance, the judicious teacher will have a regular tithe for the passing of elas.s4s, whisp. ering, leaving of beats, &c., and to the um practiced eye, all may seem confusion, yet to the 'teacher, who oversees the whole, system end law are maintained—and when the sig tral for -quiet is given, the careless observer may wonder from whence it came—this order, out of confusion. The distraction of itrind that arises frOin a sudden and unlooked for i'onfusion and noise, is entirely avoided by i s uniformity, childteri bacorne accustomed to it, and it disturbs them no more than the uniform noise in a saw-mill disturbs the sleeping sawyer. To bisinind, there is order in the noise,andle sleeps as soundly as though quiet reigned. "A time for etreiyibing," is the basis of the system. Teachers should have a 'programme' of -the daily exercises of the sebordroom. This shOuld be posted in a conspicuous place, where all may examine it. After the first week of school, no class should be called by its name: - Tha striking of the bell, or some other uniform signal, should be the only an nouncement given for this change of classev. The scholarswill soon learn the time for their classes. We have commonly adopted the' :click; occasioned by slightly striking a bell with A key, koilit or pencil, as the signal for this. Tittf first 'slick' was the signalfor Asp big into thu alleys; the second fur marching to'the recitation seat. Before the second is given, and while the class is standing in the alley; be sure that quiet exists. This should be initiated tipoti. SCholars, - should under stand that every - part of the work, if done at , all, should be veil done. Scholars should be taught to use signs id asking' any necessary, questions during the exercises of the school, (none bet- necessary questions should be al losied when classes s ere reciting.) and the Teacher- shOnld answer by sign•.
