uua ecuooL. livery person in
Kidgway has, or ought to have an n
much interest as quarterly examination
only two or three of tho citi
zens were present. This is not right,
-and while so little interest is manifested
in teachers and pupils, by the parents
and directors, so long the school will
lack one important requisite of success.
It was my privilege to be present at the
quarterly examination last Friday, and
I was amply repaid for the time spent
there in the schoolroom. The exami
nation was written, but from the earnest
vnarttliir in frLinll nanll rmnll tu.tit (n
"."w r-f" '
work to answer tbe various questions
propounded to them, left no room for
doubt, m to the thoroughness of the
work which has been done in our school
during the present school year. The
rapidity ot the work accomplished by
the scholars in tho lB" grade was as
tonishing, each one was all attention
when a question was asked, and almost
as quick as thought it was written out
and answered on the paper. There was
no hesitation, they thoroughly undrstood
their business, and if they continue to
work in the same thorough manner,
they will become thorough business men
and women. At the close of the ex
amination in the higher grades, the
lower schools were summoned to the
upper room and marched in
soldierly style to 'he musio of the
organ, and completely Cllod the seats of
(be Urge room, after siogiDg three or
four tunes from their new books, which
were creditably rendered, the schools
were dismissed.
It will amply repay any person to
imply look in at the many earnest faces
to be teen in a largo school like ours,
if noe peen will certainly be seen
again. Let us have greater iuterest

Uaohers aud pupils, and satisfy every

Writing on Wrappers. The post
ufiiee authorities have interpreted the
law in relation to writing on new-paper
nod book wrappers with literal exact
ness. This was tho ruling of the de
partment at Washington: A few days
since, the Young Men's Christian As
sociation of New York, sent a protest to
the Postmaster General because they
were required to pay letter postage on a
book forwarded by a United States Sen
ator who had thoughtlessly written bis
name upon the wrapper. The Post
master General thereupon revised his
decision, and sent word that the placing
of the sender's name and address upon
the wrapper would not subject the en
closure to letter postage. The rule also
applies to words descriptive of the con
tents of a package, as, for instance
''proof sheets," "pamphlets," &c. The
original law passed when postage was
expensive, and a letter was ofter surrep
titiously placed in tho pages of a book
or pamphlet.

CASSV1LLE fcCHOiL l.lVEbriUATlON.
The special committee appointed to
investigate the couduct-of A. L. Guss,
as Superintendent of the Sold icrs
Orphans' School at Cassville, flu nting
doo county, concluded taking testimony
at Iluutingdon last week, where it was
in session on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. Upwards ot ouo hundred
witnesses were examined, making in" all
between three and four hundred wit
nesses that have appeared before the
Committee. The testimony makes
about twelve hundred pages of mintt
script, but it will not be made publio
for obvious reasons. It is too indecent,
and would be a cruel wrong to the young
girls who narrated Guss' acts of debased
6coundrelism. Tho committe will meet
again at Harr'tsburg on Thursday of
next week, to hear the arguments of
counsel.
The testimony and case made out
against Guss, we understand, has not
been shaken in the least by the latter
testimony. If auything it baa been
made stronger by evidence of attempts
to subova witnesses on the part of the
defendant; either to get them to go on
the Bland and tell contradictory stories,
or absent themselves from the Commit
tee. New facts have come to light,
which tell with fearful force against the
lochcrous scoundrel, whose depravity the
Committee is investigating. They ars
not of a character for publication, but
they do raise the iuquiry, why was this
man Guss continued in charge of the
CasBville school after the State Super.
intendent had been informed of his io
famiesT This is a point the Investigat
Committee should not overlook, for it is
intimately connected with publio confi

Ex-President Millard Fillmore died
at his rasidenoe in Huffalo, Sands?
night, 8th inst., aged 74 years, 2 months
and 1 day.
Millerd Fillmore was born at Locke
now SiimnMrville, Cayuge county, N
Y.f January 7, 1800. His father, Na.
thanicl Fillmore, was of English de-
sccut, and followed the occupation of a
farmer. He removed to Erie county in
1819, and cultivated a small farm."' .
At au early age Millard was sent to
Livingston county to learn the clothier's
trade, aud passed four years in dressing
cloth. During this time he improved
every spare hour to supply the defects
of his early education.
In 1819, he tuade the acquaintance of
tho lute Jud!0 Wood, of Cayuga couatv,
and entered his office for the purpose of
studying law. In order to do this he
had to pay $30 for one year's time
whii h he owed his employers. To raise
this sum he devoted his spare tinio to
teaching; school.

desired result, paid his debt, and had
SO left for expenses for one wholo year.
His board cost him nothing.
In 1829 he was elected to represent
the county of Erie in the State Assem
bly. Being a member nf the old Whig
party, w hich was at that time in the mi.
noriiy, ho hod litllo opportunity of dis
tinguishing himself. His humanity and
love of justice, however, led him to take
an active part in the movement for
abolishing imprisonment for debt in this
Stato.
In 1832 he was elected on the anti
Jackson ticket to Congress, serving one
term. In 1830 he was again chosen as
a Whig, and also in 1838, and 1840.
He was again nominated in 1842, but
peremptorily declined. While io Con
gress he declared himself opposed to the
annexation ot Texas so long as slaves
were held therein, and in lavor of Con
gress exercising all constitutional powers
to abolish the slave trade between
States and tho slavo trade in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
In 1839, at the opening of the twenty
sixth Congress, he took part in tho eclo
brated "broad seal" contest on the right
to the seats of five ot the six members
from New Jersey, and was one of the
Committee on Elections making a mi
nority report on the subject. In 1843
he was elected Vice President of the
United States and became President
July 10, 1850, on the death of General
Taylor, and that year signed the Fugi
tive Slave law and the accompanying
bills known us the ''Compromise Meas
ures." In 1851 he put in fovco the
Neutrality laws against, the Lopez fili
busters, removing the Collector id' New
Orleans, by whoso connivance. the Pam
pero escaped from that port.
Iu 1852, his wite, formerly a Miss
Abigail Powers, daughter ol the Rev.
Lemuel Powers, died, leaving him two
children, a sou and daughter, the latter
of whom died in 1S54. In 1855 and
