The Ohio Journal of Education, for
November, is worth to any teacher the
niMPrt for nn vpnr. It contains several
practical article?, sonic of which wc intend
transferrins to our column's.
The Massachusetts Teacher is always
n welcome visitor. The article from the
Edinburg Review on Popular Education,
in the United States, should be read by
nil, but especially by those who grumble
:it paying their school tax.
(sodej's Lady's Book.
8- We copy the following from the
"I'ittston Gazelle," and adopt it as our
own.
The Lady's Book for December has
fllroridv been recoived at this office. The
j
lending engraving, "Christ Healing tin
Sick," is the best evidence of the perfee
lion of that art that ever came under
our eye, and wc believe it is the only cor-
ro.tit eonv of the original that was ever
i ' -
taken. The colored fashion plate in tli'n
jiuniber the ladies will find "Excelsior,'
"both as regards beauty and fashion; they
will also find forty other engravings ol
the most useful kind to them, some o
which arc patcrns of embroidery, laces
net-work,, edgings, kc. The reader';
taste has also been abundantly cared for
by the many interesting and entirely o
riginal articles which are to be found in
this issue. Godey will commence in the
.January number the best storj' ever writ
ten by T. S. Arthur, which is being pre
pared expressly for the Lady's Book.
Kow is the time for you to subscribe,
J in dies of Stroudsburg ! with the com
mencement of the volume. Our wife
would rather go without her Young Hy
son any time (and she is passionately
loud of it too) than miss the smiles of
iiode, or a new dress either, thau be
without his patcrns for making it.
Orders for the Book accompanied with

In the Martha AVashington case, on tri

whether an officer had a right, under any
circumstances, to break the seal of a let
ter addressed to another person. Judge
Mi-Lean saidthat, 'if auy person opened
si letter under any pretence whatever, he
was liable to be prosecuted under the
ost office laws. If suspicious letters
came it would be bectter for the postmas

The Constables iu Philadelphia,

doolared to be their duty. The penalty

they get a friend to make the information

decision of the Court, as delivered by one

of the Judges:

Bank stock subject to taxation for county
purposes? By the law of 1844, section
32, 'shares of stock in any Bank' are
made taxable for State and county pur
poses,' and section 33 prescribes the
measure of the State tax and mode of
collecting it. But all this was changed
by the law of 1S50 regulating Banks.
By its section 21, the tax on dividends is
considerably increased, and by section
20 a direct tax is added on the stock it
self, with a-proviso that the fctock shall
not be subject to taxation for any other
purpose; and tins provision remain? in
a, a-
the supplementary law of 1552, pamphlet
laws, page 443, which repeals this direct
tax; and the result is that the 21st sec
tiou oi tuc act or ioou is tne only run
for taxing Bank stock, and it is not taxa
ble for county purposes. We cannot ap
preciate the distinction that would make

other than State taxes. The State needs
this source of revenue for its own purposes
aud it may not suit to leave it open to
general taxation. Moreover, banks are
not allowed to deal with their money as
they please, and fix their own rate of dis
count, and with such restrictions on tbem
it might not be just to impose upon them
the same burdens that can well be borne
by the wealth that is unrestricted in the
mode of its employment. Resides this,
the burdengpf such taxation is very une
qual, most of it escaping taxation by fa
voritism, concealment, or carelessness.

Murder by a Madman in. Perry o
On Tuesday the 8th inst., our commu
nity was thrown into an excitement, by
the report that a madman, who is a pau
per in the Perry Co. (Penn.) Alms house
near this place, had perpetrated a most
horrid murder. On going to the spot
the terrible report proved only too true.
The following arc the circumstances con
nected with the dreadful scene: In the
afternoon the Steward of the Alms House,
Mr. Balthazer, sent three of the paupers
into the forest to cut wood, two Irishmen,
and a German who is not considered a lu
natic, though subject to fits of ungoverna
able irrasibility. This man had been
troublesome on former occasions, though
latterly had behaved pretty well; he was
a man of great strength. Soon after they
commenced work, without any provoca
tion whatever, indeed not a word was spo-

hurried it in the body of the unfortunate
Irishman, who stood just before him.
The axe entered the right shoulder bone,
pased through the ribs, divided the right
lobe of the lung and separated the aorta;
instant death of course ensued. After
the deed was done he took up his axe and
went home, where he was put in irons,
and will be tried. An inquest was held
over the body of the murdered man, and
the verdict rendered in accordance with
the facts stated. Yours, &c, 11. Wcisor.

The
Whole Story,
The Albany Knickerbocker under the
head
of
"Independence and Progress, '
tells the whole story of our nation's birth
and progress in a remarkably short par
agraph for a theme so comprehensive.-
The style is rather racy, but decidedly
"to the point. '
It is seventy-seven years ago to-day
since Uncle Sam was born, aud what an
eventlul seventy-seven years they nave
been. Seventy-seven year3 ago, the U-
nited States was a remote circumstance;
they now compose the second commercial
nation in the world. In three-quarter's
of a century they have revolutionized the
world, built up an empire, lieiced our
mother, and lenced in a continent, in
less than it took Methuselah to get out
si -lit . 1 1
ot swaddling clothes, wo have made more
canals, tamed more lightning, and bar-
nessed more steam, and at a greater
cost in money, than tho whole revenues
of the world could have paid for the day
he got out of his time. In seventy-five
years we not only changed the politics of
the earth, but its wearning apparel cot-
ton shirts being as much tho offspring of
the united states, as baiiot-uoxes and
democracy. Since tho fourth of July,
177G, the whole world has been to school,
ana wnatis nettor, nas learned more com-
mon sense than was taught in tho previ-
ous four thousand years. Tho problem
of sen-government has been solved, and
its truth made immortal as Washington'
or yellow corn. Its adaption to all the
wants of tho most aspiring nation has
been made most signally manifested Un-
dcr its harmonious working, a republic
has grown up m an ordinary lifetime that
'would have taken another system of gov-
eminent a thousand years to have bro't
about. Yes, in less time than it has
taken some green-house plants to arrive
at maturity, we nave bunt a nation that
has spread itself from Maine to Mexico,
from the Atlantic to the iJacihic a na-
tion that has . caught moro Mexicans,
planted more telegraph posts, and owns
more steamboats, than any nation that
ever lived or ever will live. For all this.
wo again say, thank God, aud praise
Thomas Jefferson."

You are Musslemen, and I doubt not
you are ready to sacrifice body and soul
or your religion and Government; but it
there be among you a single man afraid
of war, let him say so, for it is dangerous
to face the enemy with such men! Ho
who is under the feehug of fear should be"
employed in hospitals or other occupa
tions; but he who remains with us, and
turns his back on tho enemy, shall be
shot. Let courageous men, who long to
manifest their devotcdness to their re
ligion and throne, remain. Their hearts
arc united with God, and, if faithful to
their religion, ther will prove themselves
brave.
