The Towlive Caribs are used for the pur
pose of stimulating pepilatoindustry in learn
ing their lessons, of inculcating the value of
time, and of commutlicating,daily,to parents,
the standing of their 'children.
. At every reoitatien,. the teacher gives to
each pupil,a card with "5 minutes," if he has
recited his lesson very good, or "2 minutes,"
if good, or no card V i lle failed. These cards
are taken home by the pupil and - kept with
neatness. AL the end of the week all are re
turned to the teacher, and the pupil's stands
ing, as indicated by the cards, is registered in
a book fur that purpeosel while he buys as
malty minutes preceding the hour for dismis
sing sehOol, as the sum of the minutes on his
cards. For instance ' the pupil haksix cards
of "5 rointites," and' twelve of "2 minutes,"
these be prisents to the teacher stsl minutes
before the hour of Closing school, and buys
his time for the remainder of the school day.
The last half day of each week should be
Ppent in reriwing the!lessons of that week, so
that those who failed in learning them
thoroughly, may hare an opportunity of
knowing them. while she industrious scholar,
who learned the leits.ms thoroughly each'
day, has not only the" satisfaction of knowing
them. but the pticilege of claiming the use of
the time thus gained.
Teachers should be :careful to give the
cards to those only who really deserve them,
as sueceqs in using them. will depend mufti'
upon their judicious;beMowal. The faithful
and studious scholar should be rewarded.
This system of esti', was designed by Piot

The Jefferson City Examiner learns from a
reliable source that the town of Fort Scutt
was, on the night of the ISth inst., attacked
by Montgomery ("free State" robber,) - at the
head of two hundred men, who captured the
town, and when the Examiner's-informant
escaped, Bye or six persons had been killed.
The object of the attack was presumed to be
to 'obtain the release of'one of Montgomery's
men confined there under the charge of mar
der,upon which an indictment had been found.
It WAS feared that the town would be entirely
destroyed.
A dispatch from Kansas city shys that the

The New Year.
January, our first mouth, (so called from
Janus, an ancient of Italy, who was deified
after his death), is derived from the Latin
word - Januarius. Janus was reputed to pre
side over, the gate of heaven ; the name oldie
month is indicative of its being at the 'open
ing of the New Year. Janus was represented
with two faces,looking in opposite directions;
one old,!the other youthful,representing the
old and new era. Ile held a key in his band,
on whichwere the number 365, the number
of days in a year which he unlocked and
presided over. The templeln Rome. erected
to his memory, was quadrangular, having one
door and three windows on each side. It
stood upon the Janiculurn Hilt, and was kept_
open in time of war. It was closed only three
times during the lapse of seven years. It was
closed at, the dine of the birth of Christ, for
then the whole world was at peace. Oar
Saloh ancestors called January "Wolf
mount," or Wolf-month, on account of the
famished wolves which invaded their vil
lagesi; they also styled it "Aeften Yale," or
afteeCbristmaa. ,

The Elmira 'Advertiser' of December :oth

Saturday noon there came to the Brainard

him out of Elmira.
After an immense hubbub the mob vide
allysubsided, and the negro waa put in the
Williamsport train for Baltimore. _
It is our opinion that Sam really desired to
go back, and we are therefore glad .that the
matter has been got along with without seri

the good , darkies go, and that he will tied his
wife and children with open arms ready to

Giant Strides in the Nineteenth
Century.
It is a world of wonders nobody can deny,
we take up tilt; periodical - of the day with the
expect 'acy of heading, some new theory or
discovery; as, well as seeing news in the. ab
stract. The trans-atiantic - electric cable, at
the 'time we write, is fast expanding from
its central point in mid ocean to its two
" termini" Mt land, to link the hemisphere's !
hut at the same time that we justly look upon
as a convincing proof of thereat " march
of intellect," we must not lose sight of
anojber and no less great palpable evidence
ofrahat a giant Intellect, tingle-handed,- can
accomplish. .Tirou.ss Iroti.o*Ay, whose
name (as' the great •metlical dictator of the
present age) need's no sub-marine telegraph
to herald from one clime to another, has, by
means of his two remedies, a Pill and an
Ointment long established• a chain of com
municating agencies around the globe, with
out -having recourse however to the abl,.of
electricity or a me - tal wire. As the poet has
designated man to be but "a link in the
'great chain of causation," somay HOLLOWAY
be said, though the itistrdrnentality of hii all
powerful remedia, to have organized a Erni-,
versa! Dispensary for the sitilt of all nations
without regard to,crsed or color, irhetherciv-
Hired or savage, simple in tfieir all stifficiencr,
and within the reach of all.
What has led tottliese remarks at the Pre''
eat lss-n 6.44 we paid' to Ur. Holloway,es
tablishment in Now York, and the inspection
with which we were then favored of some of
the innumerable proofs of his vast enterprize,
from which we deduce the almost iuconceir
able extent to which Lie labors have extended,
and the, consequent universal acceptation of
his twin-remedies is specifics for internal aid
external diseases—pages might be written in
adducing loilofs of this. but one will s, red' to
elucidate the fact in the prt sent instance suf
ficient to convince the mist sket tic. In pro
portion as countries are distinct and diversifi
ed, so are the means'of reaching all the hu
man family difficult to accomplish.- To do
tbis,it would be necess try to employ an al
most Pleat-Oster array of ditreient tongues.
Accordingly, in almost every lising holguag—,
has this enterprising man made known his
mission to suffelitig humanity; and in nodes.:
titan thirty different dialects have the wond
rous properties of his medicines been actually
printed, thus in their own tongue enabling
millions to apply to their own peculiar cases
these powerful curatives.
Such "Giant Strides" as these show the
possibility of one master miod successfully
competing with the dap:hairs of hundreds
backed by science itself.—Phita. "Press."
