But, alas! my hopes, like many others, have been blasted and crushed. ; I do not wish to .bring any fc; proach upon Mr. D. E. Schcedlcr, far from it . The gentleman certainly deserves a great de-tl of credit for the enterprise, but. in my opinion, Mr. Schcedlcr has made two grand mistakes. First he has attempted to estab lish a (7frwm;i-cnglish school in our midst lliink not, that I am opposed to the Ger mans or their mother tongue.. .For their language is rich, full, swept and harmonious, It you should place before a hard laboring man, for his dinner, nothing but dessert, - be it ever so good, it would not' satisfy the re quirements of his nature. Ho would demand something more substantial. Thus'it is with the people of our country ; ' they arc an eng- lish speaking community. The german lan guage is good enough in itself, but it does not and never will satisfy our demands. It may be asked, would I ' throw the german language overboard? I answer ho, but make it a secondary .study, on equal footing with greek, latin and mathematics, ., and. make english the vehicle ;to convey ; the ideas. Second, he has endeavored to establish it in a section of country difficult of access. An institution of learning, in order to be success full, requires a prominent Situation, easy of access and surroundings pleasant and health ful. There is no question about the expedi ency of establishing a Normal School in our county,- and Stroudsburg, we believe, is the proper place, aud the sooner 'one is located here the better it will be, not only for the benefit of the people, but also for the reputa tiou of the county. It must b? acknowledged that our facilities for acquiring an education are extremely poor. , I do not wish to be understood that I think the people of Monroe so ignorant that they cannot appreciate cdu Cation. They educate their fc-ons and daugh ters, - but in a far different way:' than they should. The colleges, universities, semina ries and boarding-schools of other places receive them, educate them and draiu our county of its resources. The money which we 4 lavish upon other institutions should be kept at home aud appropriated to an institu tion of our, own. It may be. -.well to gve a few statistics of our expenditures as I am' al most positive that the majority of our peo plo are ignorant of the amount that wc send away annually for school purposes I know of fifteen young gentlemen at the present time, to say nothing of the ladie who are attending different institutions : o learning. ' Their annual' expenses are from three to five hundred . dollars, ' which wil average about four hundred dollars,' iiiaking a to til of six thousand dollars., I have reliable .authority for : stating that not less than ten thousand dollars are sent out yearly to support other schools. Is this as itshoiild be ?. Are the people of Monroe discharging their duty properly. to their children? Have they any reason to say, because their advan tages were no greater, their children should be satisfied ? llemember to-day we are fifty years behind the age with our schools. Par ents when you leave the stage of action and your children take your places they will have just causes to bring grave accusations again you for neglecting so ignominiously their sacred right". " You have no reason to de prive them of this blessing. Reflect for one moment, what an acquisition such a: school would be for us. In less than five years it would be almost indispensable. .What would the people, of our county do to-day if they were deprived of their two i: weekly papers? Why they would think it -Utterly,-impossible to do without thent, because vow they know their value ; they are no longer a luxury but an iudisieu.sible article. " Thus it would be with a flourehing institution of learning in our midst It would be, not only a resort for the people of Monroe, but also for adjacent counties. A town, so beautifully located, with pleasant surroundings, healthful atmos phere and, easy of access should not be left go unimproved. Piiilas.

Great Britain by the publication of the Ameri can "case," as prepared for presentation to the Geneva arbitrators, has in some degree subsided, but John Bull is yet in a very irritable mood. The 77Ws,.whioh represents the average British idea, still declares that if the claim for constructive damages by the Alabama piracies - is urged by the .United States it will be sufficient. cause for the abrogation of the Yasbiogton treaty. This of course is an absurd position from our poaat of view. No matter what claim our Government may present to .the arbitrators, it is the duty of the latter to pronounce, 'upon its justness and validity. If the demand for consequential damages cannot be sustain ed, then the arbitrators will do perfectly right ia throwing it overboard. Whether the demand is a just one is'i question about which there . may well .be two opinions. "'But it is ridiculous for English statesmen to bluster and threaten merely because this item is included; in the America "case." Xobody ou' this 'side of the water cares very much whether the claim is allowed or not, and certainly no one wants ' to fight about it.

The Wheat Crop. ; From prcscut indications wc should not be surprised if we should hate a rather short wheat crop in this section next liar vest. Tfte fall 'was so very dry that wheat got very little start, and much of it did uot get above the surface before the win tcr set in. Since then we have had an unusual amount of hard freezing, uutil wuhin the'past few daj thongh " very little of that kind or weather that .'.'throws wheat up" and we have no snow worth speaking of to protect and warm the ten der plaut From . these facts we would uot be surprised if thinking aud provident farmers should be a little siow iu parting with their old wheat at least until, they may be better enabled to judgoof the damage done to the crop in the ground. Some six or seven years since nearly all the wheat in this c unty was killed by hard freezing from the 20th to the 25th of March, and most of our farmers wtire compelled to obtain their next year's bread from abroad. This has acted as - a cau tionary lesson ever since with many of them inducing them - to retain enousrli of their. last year's crop to i bread tlicui, if necessary, for a year to come ; and the present prospects arc not. very likely to work a change in their accustomed - cau tion in this respect.
