A good Tiling' In Place Profes
sor Schcr ller's address before the Teachers'
Ootiniy Institute, last Tuesday evening, en
tided '-Veal." The attendance was very
rood, but it w as just the place where all the
calves in town and County ought to have
bcrn, an l we regret that they were not all
there. Had they been, we trust they would
have grown a few inches out of calfJomas
did tho.e who were so fortunate as to be on
hand. For such lectures are just what we
all need. Show us our follies and wc will fiee
from them.
Congue-ss assembled at Washington
o'.i Monday last. The lion. John B. Storm,
the Representative from this district left
home on Friday evening last, aud was doubt
less on hand iu due season. John being
somewhat of a sensationist, will doubtless do
some thins tremendous in that line before
the Session, which will probably extend fur
into the Dose days, is over. John, last ses
sion and finee, laid us under repeated obliga
tions for Public Documents, and as he is the
only Democratic Representative who has done
that thing by in, of late years, we give him
crellt for the deed.
Iihfoiu: the Season. The Hon. John
. Storm's Miners Union, anti-Tariff, anti-
Natio'.nl Bank, anti-Capitalist, and anti
Comuration sneech, interjected on last
Thursday evening, into the Teachers' Coun
ty Institute, composed two-thirds of "School
Mamas,' ' boys and girls. A part of said
speech explains itself, for wc were told
that the proportion of laborers to Capilatists
was ai 100 to one and hence the votes in
Muie proportion. But tha denunciation of
Hon. Asa Packer, alone: wit-h Parrish and
S.Tinton. as a grasping thieving monopolist
struck us as quite rich and rerresfting, com
ing as it did, from a Democratic member of
Congress But who cares for that? The
Hon J. B. may be sur-charged with politi
cal speeches, but v. e shall indulge the hope
that hereafter, he will have a more decent
regard LoLh for time and place ; for under
the circumstances, the speech in question
vus a pe; feet bore, it being no more appro
priate to the occasion than it could be t.
jioribrm the Rogers March on a 4th of July
tension, instead of Hail Columbia. It was
1 30 much like the gentleman's introduction

TA&vy Orson Pratt, at Salt Lake
City, on Sunday week, preached with great
(MriKtncss in favor of Polygamy. He said
polygamy was one of the chief tenets of the
Mormon religion, and if that were taken
away the riigion would be destroyed, and the
proposal to give up polygamy for the sake
of a State organization or fur any other pur
pose would never receive the consent of the
Mormon people. In fact the Mormons
would not surrender polygamy or any part
of their religien for any government.

in hi efforts to make it so.
Ill-solved, That we feel ourselves favored by
the presence of Prof. Sanders, and that we
tender our thank to him for his indefatigable
efforts to enlighten, encourage and stimulate
us in the arduous task, before us, as Teachers.
Jlesolved, That we feel ourselves much bene
Cted by the efforts of Rev. D. E. Scecedeek, to
elevate the standard of Education in Monroe
Countv.
Jlesolved, That the Citizens of Monroe Coun
ty, and especially the rising generation, are to
be congratulated upon the dawning of a great
reformation in the cause of Education, which
we see in the efforts of most of our Citizens and
School-Directors, of the several Townshii,
Iietolved, That wc see a clear manifestation

vancemcnt of Education, bv encouraging and
paying their Teachers for their time during the
Countv Institute.
J2esolvel, That wc greatly lament the loss of
Lev. S. 1 aterson, our Brother and co-worker

ken its flight and left us to do the work that he
so warmly and zealously advocated while liv
ing.
Jlesolved, That we greatly feel the want of a
uniform system of Teaching and regular series
of Text Books throughout the entire County,
and therefore hope the School Dfrectors, with
the assistance of the County Superintendent,
will soon bring about this much desired object
The Institute then adjourned in peace and
harmonv.
Mn. Editor . If we should attempt to ren
der ac:iticism, through your columns, upon
the proceedings of the Monroe County Teach
er'a Institute, which was held last week in
Stroudsburg, we would fail.
We can fay with candor, that the exercises
which were conducted by Prof. Sanders, Itev
D. E. Schocdler, B. F. Morcy, and others, in
the various branches of learning, were listened
to by us, with pleasure and profit.
The exertions of our Superintendent, Mr.
Frutchev, to make the Institute a success, are
commendable. The essays, which were read
gratified all who were present.
Much interest was manifested in the lecture
on Tuesday evening upon "Veal." Ministers
doctors, and lawyers, in short, the first caste
of the county, filled the Court House, to hear
the lecture.
We, as well as many others, were somewhat
puzzled to know why such a subject was cho
sen for such an oscasion. We were still more
puzzled to know how the lecturer was going
to masticate veal. But after he had powerful
ly stewed a great number of subjects in his
'mind's pot' of tremendous capacity, we saw
why "veal" was chosen. The lecture was de
livered with energy. The ascent from the calf
to the ox was, in our opinion, logically made.
except that wc could not sec the analogy be
tween the old bachelor, the old maid, aiid the
calf. On the whole, it was a production of a
master mind. We think it will be remember
ed by all who heard it. Milk and mutton are
subjects correlative with " veal," and will ad
mit of similar treatment.
Indeed, last week was a season of an Intel
lectual feast to the teachers of Monroe.

Internal Administration of Vaccine
Virus.
Dr. Taylor, of Kittanniug, in referring
to an article published in the American
Journal of Medical Science, advocating
the internal administration of vaccine
virus in the treatment of small pox, says:
Being impressed with the idea that tne
treatment was rational, I determined to
give it a trial the first opportunity. Ob
the leih o! December, 18o'J I was call
ed on ;to visit a child near two years of
age, laboring uuder small pox, the pustules
beiug first observed by her parents on the
16th, two days previous to my first visit.
I first gave a dose of calomel aud rhubarb
sufficient to operate moderately on her
bowels ; then, after obtainging the sane
tion of her parents, I put one quarter ol
a good-sized crust of vaccine virus iuto
sixteen teaspoonfuls of water, and direct
ed one teaspoonl'ul to be given every three
hours. Ou the 21st, three days alter
commencing the remedy, the pustules had
a Bhrivelcd appearance, and on the 24th,
six days from my first visit, the postules
were so completely abated that 1 consid
ercd my patient out of danger, and quite
visiting her. All the medicine this child
took in addition to the above was some
mild laxative every second day, when uc
ccssary. From the number of pustules
on this child (not protected by vaccina
tion) I have no doubt she would have
been a serious, if not a fatal case, under
any other treatment. Two years after
treating the above case I had an oppor
tunity of examining her, and conld not
find a pit or a mark on her person.
Since the foregoing case, similar treat
mcnt, on three different occasions, has
becu attendwd with like satisfactory re
suits. I do not suppose any injurious ef
fect would follow much larger doses, and
by observing the difference between large
and small doses in the rapidity of recovery,
would soon determine the quantity best
adapted to ordinary cases. I think the
remedy should be resorted to as soon as
possible in the disease. Ooe person ad
ministering the vaccine virus by my di
rections, assured me that where the iru?
was given in the fever before the postules
appeared they never developed.
The only precaution necessary in ad
ministering the vaccine virus is to a good
article, to mix only so much at once as
will last one or two days, and keep it iu
a cool place, to prevcut it from becoming
putrid and offensive.
The Department Reports. .
The Postmaster General very briefly
but emphatically renews his former re
commendations for a repeal of the frank
iug privilege, declaring its existence to be
utteily incompatible with an economical
and vigorous administration of postal af.
fairs. He further refers to flagrant fraud?
being perpetrated under it durimg the
past year, and says ihey will continue to
be practiced until the frankling privilege
is abolished.
In reference to the new line of steam
ships to ply between Philadelphia and
Liverpool iIr. Crkswelt recommends
that they shall carry a weekly mail, and
that Congress shall great them reasonable
incidental aid therefore in excess of the
receipts of postage. ' He places great cm
phasis upon the distinguished character
of our merchants interested in the steam
ship lioc, and refers with pride and satis
faction to the fact that those fiuc vessels
are to be built wholly of American ma
tcrial by Americans.
The report of the Secretary of War
shows that the reorganization of the army,
as required by the act of July 15, 1370.
has already been effected ; in accordance
with this act, the number of enlisted mcu
was reduced to thirty thousand, inditler
soldiers were discharged, the standard ol
recruits raised, aud the staff of general
ofScers reduced. The expenditures o!
the department for the year coding June
ol), 171, were $PJ,0DJ,0a0, including
S'ijDIS.'J'JO for harbor and river improve
ments, showing a reduction over the pre
vious year's expenditures of $17,055,075.
40. For the next fiscal year of 1S71-2
there is appropriated 830,530,776. Ur
io mis time uunng tne current nscal Aear
. . .
there nave been paid into the Treasury
821,706,431,07.
The Secretary refers to the Indian wars
only to saggest to Congress their expen
sivenes and the necessity of voting men
and money carry them on. It was to be
hoped that he would have something to
say in connection with the Indian peace
policy of the Presidcut, but to it he makes
no reference whatever.
Desertions have largely increased dur
ing the year, owing, the Secretary be
lieves, to the reduction of the soldiers
pay, which is now but thirteen dollars'
per month.
Twenty-sevcn of the Southern railroad
which purchased United States rolling
stock have paid io full, while twenty four
others still owe the department $4,724,
350 53. It seems to us that these latter
have six years' indulgence have had quite
enough, and that they should now be com
plied to pay their debts by a summary
process. .
The signal Service is referred to by the
Secretary in connection with the admira
ble work it has performed in giving the
meteorological returns daily to the coun
try, aand the system is highly commend

CAPTAIN JAMES CiALLAUHEK
Steamboat Captain, of Pittsburg, Pa., write:
"The inventor of Misni.Kit's Hkkb Bitteks'i
a benefactor to the human race. I w:t a vic
tim to the w orst form of Dyspepsia ; my Iicah'i
failed to such an citcnt that my Pliysimm
pronounced me incurable. I had used 'all forts
of remedies and even took a voyage to Cali
fornia ; but nothing relieved me. " When Mish
ler'a llerb Litters was recommended I refiin-d
to use it ; bul my friends insi-tinp:, I at lat
yielded. I am tlvaukful that I did so, for it
cured me, and I am now as well, hale and
strong as I was fifteen year ago."
