As our School system has recently un--liigone
some impoilant revisions and al

This scries consists of six books, with
Iosfohs arranged in regular graduation
L'ach book seems to be well adapted lo
the class of scholars for which it is dc-M-nod.
The lessons arc neither too dif
ticult nor too easy. The first four book?

Interesting to Parents.
The following paragraph from a Lou
don publication should arrest the atten
tion of parents :
Poisonous Colored Confectionary.
The ."Lancet'' Commissioners, in re
porting the result of their investigation."
respecting colored confectionary, express
their surprise at the extent to which dead
ly and virulent poisons are daily made
use of by the manufacturers of these ar
ticles. One hundred and one samples
were analoxd; and of the yellows, seven
ty contained chromatc of lead and color
ed anibroge; soveniy-wne of the reds
contained cochineal, red lead, and bi-sul-phuret
of mercury; eiht of the browns
contained ferruginous earth-?, cither
Vandyke, brown, umber, or sienna; two
of the purples contained Prussian blue
and cochineal; thirty-eight of the blue
contained indigo, Prussian blue, Antwerp
blue, aud a. sulphuret of sodium or alum
ium; nineteen of the greens contained
Brunswick green, consisting of a mixture
of chromatc of lead and Prussian bluo,
vcrditer or carbouatcbf copper, SeheulV
green or arsenite of copper. The above
colors were variously combined in differ-
.ent cases, three and even four-poisons oc
curring in the same parcel of confection
ary. In four of the samples the colors
were painted on with white lead or car
bonate of lead; thirteen of the sample
were adulterated with hydrated sulphate
of lime; seventeen samples were adulter
ated with wheat flour, three with potato
flour, and one with arrow root.
The Haiti-Shell Democrats ofltfew York.
The ''Hard-Shell" Democratic Conven
tion of Xew York, which met at Syracuse
on Wednesday, concluded its buriness
and adjourned the same night. The
iron. Greene C. Bkonson was nomiuatod
for Governor by acclamation, notwith
standing there was in possession of t he
Convention a letter from that gentleman
declining the honor conferred upon him.
A number of resolutions were adopted,
of which the following is a summary :
They re-affirm adherence to the Plat
forms of the Baltimore Conventions of
134S and 1352; endorse the doctrine of
non-intervention by Congress as to the
right of the people of the Territories to
frame their own laws; approve the recent
act of Congress in regard to Nebraska
nd Kansas, so far as it establishes the
principle that the people of the Territo
ries may legislate for their own welfare;
strongly denounce the Administration lor
interference iu the local politics of Xew
York, its palpable and alarming invasion
of State right?, and its unjustifiable and
undisguised use of its patronage to con
trol the State elections. The resolutions?
also denounce any coalition with other
partie?, and pledge their authors to rely
upon the merits of their own party for
success.
The old Swamp 2iser.
One of our Southern exchanges stales
that there is now living in the swamp of
the Little Pec Dec Jlivcr, South Carolina,
and old man of the mOit singular charac
ter. Jle never owned but one pair o!
hoes in his life, and he says they were
so hot that he never wore them but once
He never cultivated the soil, but never
inc less lie nas accumulated a lar-je sum
,ii it i t
of money, which he deposits in hollow
trccj?, iu the moil unfiequeuted swamp?
lie effects extreme poverty, and when ap
plied to for a loan of money he declare
he has none; but if the security pleases
him, and promises to pay in specie, he
will appoint a day when he wil try to got
a'ltttle, which he never fails to do. lie
has made his fortune by the sale of fifb
the Guest of. which he knows exactly where
to catch, and honey, which he raises in
immense quantities, having his bee hive:
in the swamps for miles around. Xo mu
sic is eo charming to his ear as the bull
frogs, and the bellowing of the alligator
for these sung hU lullaby when in his era
die, and have been harbingers of his bra
vest days from his boyhood to the pres
ent day. lie never uses any other wea
pon to kill snakes with than his heel, and
there was never but one kuown to attempt
to bite him, and that one broke his teeth

years of age. Strange as it may seem
that such a character should find a mate
of uimilar tastes aud fancies, yet such is
the case, only thatshc is a little more lik
him than he is like himself.
A Pretty Little Croud. Mr. Frederick
ivcmbcll, from the neighborhood of Bum-
ue', Harrison county, Ohio, arrived in
Steubenvillc, last Wednesday, by railway,
with his wife and nineteen children
twenty-one in all. It is said that he
owns enough land in that State to give
each of his family one hundre'd and sixty
acres, and retain a "slice" for himself.
P. T. Barnum resigued the Office of

Inventive Skill.
It appcrrs by the first part of the re
port of the Commissioner of Patents, that
a patent was, in Scpte.mbcr last, issued to
David Freed, of Huntingdon, Pennsylva
nia, for an improvement in toilet furni
ture." The invention consists iu attach
ing to a piece of furniture au apparatus,
by means ot which, pantaloons may be
drawn off without stooping or sitting
down! This is what may be called a la
zy man's luxury. Wash. Seitcnel.

Sickness in New-Orleans.
A correspondent writing to the Tri
bune from Xew Orleans, under date of
July 3d, says:
Our city is very sickly. The first two
weeks m June there were over 50 deaths
a week of Asiatic cholera, and the mor
tality was 30 -per cent, larger than same
time la: t year.
Lr..-t week there were over 320 deaths
equal 2,500 a week inX. York city. O
ver 100 died of sunstroke. The Yellow
fever has made its appearance, and the
reports from the cemeteries show two
deatiis of yellow and one of black vomit.
There were also a large number of deaths
from other fevers, as alo of bowcll com
plaints aud cholera. Of course our pa
pers will keep dark about everything.

Ravages of cholera in Barbadoes.
From the Bermuda Advertiser of July 4.
On Thursday last the schooner Phoe
nix, Capt. Xathanicl Dunscomb, arrived
from Barbadoes in fifteen days, at which
place the cholera was fearfully raging,
Up to the 13th ultimo the mortality
deaths was one hundred and fifty to two
hundred per day in Bridgetown alone
and the malady was .still on the increase

tirely confined to the lower classes and to

prompt applications were used, the dis

It is a curious circumstance, but we be
lieve that no notice was taken duriuj: tlm
debates of Congress on the Douglas bill
of the fact that not only are both th
new territories north of the compromise
line, but that another territory remains
soutu ol lianas which is yet to be organ
ized.
Thus if the slave power fail to secure
Xebraska, lvansa.3 may be more easily
won, and a both these chances are lost
there is still another territory farther
south about which there may be less un
certainty.
A more ingenious plan founded on the
doctrine of chances could not have been
i i i ...
uoviseu. iy opening two territories at
the same time to settlers, one at least,
there was reason lo believe, might bo so
cured. J his would be clear gain to the
slave power for it is nortlrof the compro
msse line, and by making Kansas a slave
territory the unorganized territory lying
oetwecn ivansas and Texas would cer
tainly bo a slave territory also. If bot!
shall become free territory, then by colo
mzing tne remaining district lrom the
south, the slave power will have lost noth
ing aud tho compromise line will have
been removed northward half a degree
from 3G de. 30 min. to 37 degrees.
The towu council of Marion, Ala.,
ixed the license for retailing liquor at
lo00 per annum, thinking that this
would prevent all applications. An eu-
erprisiug individual was, however, about
to open a shop, even at tins high iiguro,
when the council met again and raised the
ieeuse to 3000.
The Crops. Letters from Wisconsin
state that the Wheat crop will bo of an
uimeard of abundance. Letters from
Michigan also state that it will be very
arge tiiere. Jn JNew York it will turn
out an average crop, at least, it 13 said,
notwithstanding the croaking about the
bugs.
The Morris and Essex Railroad Company,
Complainants vs. John I. Blair and Oth
ers, and the "vVarrsii Railroad Company,
Defendants.
This cause was called up on Monday
of last week, and the argument closed on
Friday.
Messrs. Whelpey and Whitehead ap
peared for complainants, and Messrs.
Kreliughuyseu and J. P. Bradley for de
fendants. The conflict between the Com
panies originated iu tho location of their
respective roads over part of the same
ground under their charters.
The Warren Railroad Company ob
tained their charter on the 12th Februa
ry, 1651, to construct a Railroad from
near Xew Hampton, a point on tho Cen
tral Railroad of N. J., to the Delaware
Water Gap, a distance of 18 miles. Tho
Morris aad Essex Railroad Company ob
tained a supplement to their charter on
the 19th February, 1851, to extend their
road from Dover to tho Delaware Water
Gap. It appears from the bill and an
swer, that Blair and his associates arc
deeply interested iu the construction of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad; a road leading from the Dela
waro Water Gap to the Great Bend, on
tho Susquehanna River, and their connec
ting with tho Xew York and Eric Rail
road and other roads, that the Northern
Division of their road, leading from
Scrantou, in th Lackawanna Yalley to
the Great Bend, was by them constructed
in 1851, and has since been in succccsful
operation. Immediately thcreupon,Blair
and his associates determined to construct
tho Southern division of their road, from
Seranlon to the Delaware Water Gap;
having obtained, in 1S52 and .1853, the
necessary legislation of the state of Penn
sylvania for that purpose and a law
authorizing the connection with the War
ren Railroad, and the bridging of the
of the River Delaware. Eaply in the
winter of 1S53, Blair was engaged with
several corps of engineers in the location
of the Southern division of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Warren Railroad ot
Pa., and procuring the right of way for
that road, all of which the answer alleges
was well known to the Morris and Essex
Kailroad Company. Blair had endeav
ored to induce that Company, in the fall
of 1852, and early in the winter of 1853,
to extend their road and connect with
the Pennsylvania road, on fair and equit
able terms, j)ro rata on passengers and
freight, for coal the same as any other
company charged, which was declined
on the part of the Morris aud Essex Rail
road Company, they demanding a monop
oly, of all the business and a pledge that
the Warren Railroad should not be con
structed to the Central Railroad of New
Jersey. There ended the conference
Blair immediately thereupon directed a
practical engineer with his corps to locate
the Warren Railroad, which route the en-
ginecr had
ou several occassions rccou-
noitered and
had selected the ground
that the road must necessarily occupy.
The Morris and Essex Railroad Company,
knowing the inteutions of Blair, placed
thnr nn'tncPH work to Innntn Hmir rv-
teuton, the engineers of Each Company
passed each other on the lino, one party
nnct n,i ft, -nCf MM,
of the two roads crossed each other at
two points one point at the Vass Gap,
near the Delaware, the other at tho an-
ness Gap, eight miles east of the Dela
ware. As soon as the Warren route was
surveyed, books were opened, the stock
ubsenbed, the Company at once duly
, . r j ... j I
and properly organized, the route adopted,
a committee appointed to purcha.se the
right of way, and the President, Blair,
ordered to file the survey in the office oi
the. Secretary of State; this was all done
on the 4th March, m conformity to thc-
chartcr. On the 8th March thereafter,
at 11 o'clock A. M., Blair filed the sur
vey of the Warren Railroad in the office
of Secretary of State at 12 o'clock same
day, the Morris aud Essex Railroad
Company filed their survey, they having
adontod the samo for their road. At
early breakfast that morning, on arriving
at Trenton, it was ascertained that Blair
was ahead.
Blair returned to Warren and comnle-
ted the purchase by written contract of
the land, iu thos-e conflicting passes, for
the Warren R:nlrn;id. T!.n n nnt nf Mir.
Morris and Essex Railroad Company ar-
riviug iust afterwards, found thev were a-

a larger sum and indemnifying them al-
so. Ulair immediately, for his eomnanv.
took posession of the disputed territory,
' 1 m l
put it under contract and commenced the
construction of the Warren Railroad.
The Morris and Essex Railroad Compa
ny, being again defeated, determined uot
to give up yet; they then filed a bill, and
without notice to Jilair, or the Warren
Railroad Company, somehow obtained an
injunction, very unjairly, as is believed,
irom an injunction master, and suspend
ed further work on tho road. The chan
ocllor referred tho cause to Abm. Brown
ing, Esq., as master who heard the par
tics, and decided the cause in every par
ticular m tavor ot the Warren Railroad
Company. Tho complainauts not yet sat

been ready to give an outlet. The injustice
done that company by the Morris & Essex
Railroad Company is very great; near
three million of dollars the cost of the
Southern division of that road is useless,
until the Warren Railroad is completed
the Morris and Essex Railroad Compa
ny have not only done a great moral wrong
to the companies, but a great public
wrong to the community, by delaying
great work which is to be one of the main
trunk lines from the East and West,
North and South, not only for passengers
nnd merchandize, but, for the Anthracite
Coal of the Lackawanna Valley, which is
now so much wanted, it is hoped that
hereafter no injunction master will be
found to grant an injunction for so slight
a cause without full notice to the ad verso
party, notwithstanding the application
may bo asked for by some great corpor
ation whose acts when investigated may
entitle them to very little consideration.
TRENTON.
Astounding; Frauds.
The New York financial circles were
last week thrown into the greatest excite
ment by the discovery of the most extcn
sivo fraud ever brought to light iu this
country. The announcement is no less
serious than this, than an over issuo of
stock in the X'. York and Xew-llavcn
Railroad Company has been made to the
amount of two millions of dollars. The
President Mr. Robert Schuyler, was
Transfer agent, and this over issue has
been discovered by a committee of the
Board of Director.5 appointed to look into
the affairs of the Company. The fraud
ulent issues were made, first in a single
lot of Certificates for 10,000 shares; aud
the remaiuder in smaller amounts and
through a considerable period of time.
The event is correctly characterized as a
most astounding one in the magnitude of
the sum involved, and the deliberate,
wicked purpose with which the fraud was
put upon the public, to the direct loss of
millious to the stockholders, and the in
direct loss of tens of millions in the in
jury to the credit and reputation of other
American railroad corporations and the
market value of the property of their
shareholders.
From the Evening Post we learn that
Robert Schuyler left home for Canada
on Tuesday morning. The day before
he left, on the 3d of July, he and his brother
executed an assignment of all the proper
ty belonging to the firm, as well as his
individual property, to Messrs. Bowdoin
& Barlow, attorneys, Xo. G5 Merchant's
Exchange.
Following upon the heels of the above
fraud was discovered that Mr. Kyle, the
Secretary of the X'ew York and Harlem
Railroad Company, has overdrawn his
account to the extent of four thousand
shares of Harlem stock, amounting to
200,000. Schuyler is understood to be
at the bottom of this fraud, and is prob
ably more guilty than Mr. Kyle.
There is another over issue of stock ad-
fled to the list of Robert Schuyler's mis-
d,oinSs- Acting as Transfer Agent of
tllu xuuuu.ui umpauy, au o-
ver issue 20,000 of its stock has been
traced and the investigation has not been
completed. This man, in whom the pub
lie and his associates place unlimited
confidence, held the following offices :

Good im (N. C.,) July 1. The wheat
crop is secured: it is said to be the heav
iest and beat grain in ten years. Oats
also heavy. Corn in places suffering from
drouth, but the prospect good for a heavy
crop. Madison, (Wis.,) June 30. I find tho
crops in this State full of proraiso of a
bountiful harvest. Whoat will be ready
to cut in two weeks; the heads are long
and heavy. Corn is small, but looks
healthy. Somo farmers have commenced
haying: tho Grass is heavy. This is a
lively looking town.
Warsaw, (N. Y.) July 4. Wheat is
above a medium average of years.
Grccnsburg, (Ind.,) June 30. We arc
getting a pretty fair crop of wheat in this
country. It will be cut next week. Oats
very good, and corn coming on well.
St. Josejdi County, (Mich.,) June 27.
Harvest will commence after the Fourth

Noblcsvillc, (Ind.,) June 26. I have.
in the last seven days, passed over a largo
)ortion ot Hamilton and Madison coun
ties, and been delighted with tho beauti
ful and promising looks of tho wheat Geld3
everywhere. In traveling on foot, in car.-,
and in carriage, over, 100 miles, scarcely
a single field did I bcc of wheat that does
not promise an everage crop, while tho
great majority of wheat fields promise tho
most abundant yield; indeed, I never saw
finer looking wheat. In other and adja
cent counties, it is said that tho rust baa
injured the wheat; this is not the case in
the counties named above.
The corn, too, is fine, and promises a
full crop. But fruit, in tho shape of ap
ples, peachos and cherries, &c., is an al
most total failure We shall havo few
apples, and fewer peaches, in the two
counties. I givo you the facts in regard
to these two counties in Indianna,
Read the Adveutisments. The ad-.
vertising columns of a newspaper contain
by no means tho least important part of
its contents. Thoy shauld be constantly
referred to by the reader, especially if ho
would be advisod of tho kinds and quali
ties of articlos of merchandise in tho mar
ket, and where they can be purchased on
