County Supt.
Shakesperian Readings.
Mr. Wm. F. Mason, will read Thc
Drunkard, on Saturday evening, at the
Court House. Our townsmen should not
miss the opportunity of hearing this mor
nl Domestic Drama read by this son of
Melpomene. We have attended Mr. Ma
son's reading?, and we coincide, with oth
crs, in saying he is the "proper organ of
Sbakcspcar's genius."
The Stroudsburg string band will en
liven the entertainment with some of their
favorite airs.
The following extract, from the author's
preface, will give the reader a slight idea of
tho favor with which it was received in
Boston.
0, star of strength ! I sec thee stand
And smile upon ny pain ;
Thou beckoncst with thy mailed hand,
And I am strong again.' Lo.NGPELOW.
1 There is a tide in the affairs of menf tj-c.
Right! worthy Willie Shakspeare, per
fectly right flu-re is a tide not on)y in
the affairs of men, but in the casualitie?
of the Drama al.o, that bears the fortu
nate object to success, provided the op
portunity 19 not neglected. There could
not have been a better time ohosen for
the production of this most successful and
Domestic Drama, than the sea-on it was
first performed at the Bo-ton Museum.
No unprejudiced person will attempt to
deny that it was the cause of ,mueh good
and materially aided the Temperance
movement it was meant to advocate. I
the representation it was a powerful and
living picture, and all that saw it, felt it
for it WAS TRUE. No one who had not
pccn it would feel inclined, from the more
reading, to believe the very powerful ef
fect produced.
The action of the play locat-d in our
own city and vicinity the scenery most
ly local views, excellent the nrran
mcnts admirable, while the acting in some
instances was net to be surpassed, and
throughout each character-above medioc
rity, all served to aid in the triumphant
success that was awarded it on its first
representation. Mr. Smith's personation
of Edward, evidently the result of accu
rate and laborious study, and deepknowl
edge of human frailty, was at times ter
ribly real, particulary the scene of 'deliri
um tremens, which though far shoit of
the horrors of that dreadful malady, and
appearing, to those unacquainted with the
disease to be overstepping the bounds oi
nature, was true to the letter, and univer
sally acknowledged to be the most natu
ral, effective acting ever Ecen in this city.
In this scene, and those depicting the dis
tress of the family, it was no uncommon
thing to see scores of men and women in
the auditory weeping like children, while
at the next moment their faces would ra-j
diate with smiles at the quaint humor of
Bill Dowton, or the pompous peculiarities
of Miss Spindle. "
The piece was produced under direc
tion of Mr. Smith, in the winter of 1844,
and performed that season for upwards
of one hundred and forty times, and is
by oil acknowledged to be the most suc
cessful play ever acted in Bostou."

The Pennsylvania Common Schools.
It is now nearly twenty-seven years
since the prcscut Common bchoql bystein
of Pennsylvania was founded by the cs
tablishment of the "School fund" in A
pril, 1831. The original plan wascsseu
tially modiGcd in its practical details by
tho Consolidation School act of 13th June
1S3G and the supplement of 1 2th April
183d. Still tho acceptance or rejection
of the Sohool System was left to the pop
ular voto of each township, so that the
most benighted regions, where parents-
would not givo their children an educa
tion at private schools, and where, there
fore, the public schools were most uceded
where just the ones in which the latter
were never established. 1 bus while in
such counties a3 Chester, Lancaster
Northumberland, &.C., this plan accom
plished immeasurable good, in others, as
Berks, Montgomery and Monroe, it was
! very inefficient. A long step in advance
was taken in April, 1849, when tho great
"Act for the Regulation aud Continuauce
of a System of Eduoation by Common
Schools" was passed. This act provided
that the Common Sohool System "be and
is hereby deemed, held and taken to be
adopted" by the people in all the districts
any vote of a "wrong headed, stupid ma
jority to the contrary notwithstanding.
And finally by the Act of May 8th, 1854,
the several laws on this subiect were a-
gain codified, and various improvement
introduced. The chief of these was the
institution of tho office of County Super
intendent; a visiting officer whose duties
are to raise every school in his county to
its proper standard, and to establish uni
formity in the course of study among the
several schools of equal grade.
Thus the Legislature of Pennsylvania
has kept watch from year to year over
the system, and has introduced changes
whenever practical utility seemcJ to re
quire them; but ever keeping tho great
object in view ; to confer ttjwn ever? child
in the btate a good English Education at
the public charge. Every year we have
been drawing nearer aud still nearer to
this result. The law is indeed excellent;
perhaps as nearly perfect as any human
sj'stein; yet there is great want of inter
est in its workings among our people.

mounted into the carnage. As they roue
along, chatting agreeably together, the

which be accepted. J be first was deli

aud Mr. Smith was faiu to eject it from
his mouth. Beyond this second fig he
remembered nothing until he found him-

his horse had come up to the house and
stopped. The family came aud found

though he had always been known as

he had been robbed of four hundred and
fifty dollars, while under the effect o
some drug in which the figs were undoubt

suffered ill health, and has partially lost
the use of his lower limbs. Opium fre

Another mode was to strip thc child ua-
ked, lay her upon thc floor, and then
draw thc heated poker over different parts
of her person, burning her in a fright
ful manner. At another time she put a
ag in thc little girl's mouth, and made
her keep it there for 31 hours, without
food or drink. A string was attached to
each end of the gag and tied to the back
of the girl's head. The sufferer was ask
ed why she did not untie tho string and
the answer was that it was tied in a hard
not, so firmly that it sank into the flesh
and she could not untie it. At another
time the woman cut the hair of the child's'
head, and upon tho top of her head is a
burn, caused by coming in contact with a
hot stove-pipe on an occasion of being
puuished. The excuse given for cutting
off the child's hair wjs that it was so long
that her neck was continually dirty, and
it was the ouly way she could reined-the
matter. The child is very pretty, a Por
tuguese by birth, and about twelve or
