I.HFLUENtid OF A NEWSPAI'EH .
A school teacher who has been engaged a
lone time in bis profession, and witnessed the
influence of a newspaper upon the minds of
a family of children, writes to the editor of
tbe Ogdeusborg Sentinel us follows:
"1 have found it to be a universal fuct with
out exception, that those tcholurs of bolb
sexes and oi u II uges, who have bad access to
newspapers at borne, when compared with
those who have not, are
1. Better reuders, excelling in pronuncia
tion and emphasis, and consequently read
mora understanding.
2. Tbey are butter spellers and defius
word with greater ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain a practical knowledge of
geography, in almost naif tbe time it requires
Others, as the newspaper has made them fu
milliar with the location of the important
places, nations, their Governments and do
ings on the globe.
4. They are belter grammarinns, for having
become so familiar with every style, in tbe
newspaper, from the comon place advert ise
tneut to tlio finished aud classic oration of the
statesmau, they more readily comprehend tbe
meauing of tbe text, and consequently aual
jze its construction with accuracy.
5. They wtite better compositions, using
better language, containing more thoughts,
ore clearly and connectedly expressed.
6. Those young men who have for years
been readers of tbe newspapers, are ulways
taking the lead in tbe debuting society, exhi
biting a more extensive knowledge upon a
greater variety of subjects, and expressing
their views with greater fluency clearness aud
correctness in their use of language.
THE DUTCHMAN A.D THE PAMC.
Everybody will remember the "money pan

since and the stcry "John Pbccnix" used to
leu oi its etlects individually illustrated.
Before the fright, a frugal old Dutchmau, by
dint of bard labor, bad accumulated soma
$500, which he cautiously deposited iu one of
iu. uauaiug uouses lor sale keeping. Uuuior
oon came to bis ears that they were not

Next moruiug, be tremblingly drew his bal
auce aud put tbe shining gold iu bis pocket.
He breathed decidedly freer, but here was a
dilemma. What should be do with it? lie
did not dare to keep it in bis shauty aud as
for carrying it about him, 'twas too precious
heavy. So, after a sleepless night or two
in constant apprehuusion of burglars be de
posited it in another "banking otlice." Ano

run ou bis bank he pushed iu drew bis
gold aud felt easier once more. Another
anxious duy aud night for his "uionish," and
gain it wus deposited in a safe bauk. Tbis
time be frll safer than ever before, and went
quietly to bis work. But tbe panic reached
that bank, and anxious depositors besieged

- BETTER TIMRt.
The editor of the Philadelphia North Am.
rican, ander the above title, writet it follows
on the better time coming. A crash or
crisis of tome kind was leng tiuce expected.
.Nothing; else would bring people to tbelr
tenses. Speculation and extravagance bad
run riot. After a general clearing up things
will move on mora orderly iv
Any man who has just views of financial
affaire, and who will calmly consider the
ventt of tbe present crisis the condition of
the banks, or tbe people and or the country
at large with respect to what all these were
in 1837, can bardly fail to see that gloomy
views of the future are not justified by any
tacit oi wuicn we nave a knowledge. All
thit hat before end repeatedly been nrged,
whilst the public mind wus agitated by the
threatened suspension of . specie payments ;
and perhaps now, that the worst ia known, It
may be pressed with grtater effect. ire
more than ever confident that circumstances
have not justified tbe wild panic that has pre
vailed and bat sent ordinarily reasonable men
on a stampede, like a picket of freightened
norset let loose, or liko tue headlong tramp
of a herd of hunted buffaloes. And we are
equally confident that any une who will im
purtially review the occurrences of the last
two mouths will be ol the same opinion. It
is generally conceded that it wot nothing but
tbe removal of the conbdence tbat bad uitn
erto propped np the extensive transactions
of the Country that precipitated the crash at
tbe precise time when it took place. Every
one taw that reverses of tome kind roust
come, and come suddenly, aud be severe, un
less greut judgment nnd caution were used in
the curtailment of business, and of enterprises
too extensive in character for our means.
And it was also foreseen that, let inch cur
tailment be at judiciout as it might, still there
was many a bubble that from its very nature
mutt explode, bringing disaster to tome.
But no one could by any possibility have fore
known that the pressure would be to sudden
and to heavy as to bring rum, and especlall
to bring it iu tbe fuce of the beat crops th
country has ever produced, and in pretence of
mo weuiio mat exists aniongBl us. in truth
pauic did it all punic which could not have
beeu foreseen or foretold, because it has no
reasonable or logical ground of existence, but
it me mere creature of impulse.
lial ronli: it bo but panic and a enure
lest alarm, that have rendered wholly una
vailabie the most valuable and undoubted
assets, compelling houses with abundant
means to suspend payment in order to realize
ou tbeir property? There was no drain ol
specie abroad to alarm people, and set them
10 runuing ou the banks ; there wus nothing
to call for a contraction of loans in three
weeks that required three or six months to
oe euected without distress to borrowers
yet the alarm came; the run on the banks
came ; the contraction came ; and at a matter
of course the distress followed. Bat we be.
lieve that with the suspension of the bauks
lue worst is over. Already so great a eon
traction of business has taken place that it
cannot remain in its low stale, even during
the present winter. An evidence of the
great fulling off in business is evinced by the
small transactions at the New Yoik clearing
bouse. But it does not seem probable that
this can exist much longer. So soon as tbe
crops begin to move there must be more
activity in trade. The arrival of a little gold
from England, it is tot unlikely would be the
signal, and give tue impetus to a renewed
business. Old scores would, to a considerable
extent, be wiped out, and buyers agaiu be
lounu lor ury pood?, groceries, and ull the
necessaries of lire. It is only doubtful enter
piises. or enterprises of great magnitude,
railroad construction and so on, that are
likely to remain suspended for some time to
come. In view of the wealth existing in tbe
country, and of the bunyanry and spirit of
our people, who are not discouraged by mis
fortunes and reverses, we feel sure that ordi
nary bnsiness transactions will be resumed
shortly. Those who know themselves solvent
had better make arrangements fur this, and
keep themselves prepared for it. In such
times as we have fulleu on, if money is easily
lost it is also easily earned, aud is the prize
of the sound judgment and the strong nerve.
The suspended banks will, doubtless, now
extend to their customers that assistance
which it was impossible for them to grant
whilst a steady drain was being made on
their vaults ; and the market cannot fail to
be relieved by tbe withdrawal from it and
suspension of many lnrge concerns, who were
constant borrowers, abstracting from the
regular trades. Of course, wo must yet look
lor some failures ol importance. We cannot
expect, either, to get over the crisis without
some of those exposures of fraud or misman
agement which always follow monetary revul
sions. But there is every iudication that the
worst is over, and the storm has spent its
greatest violence.

The Rev. O. Johnson, was a native oi

his nrnfeMionol brethern.
Sonn after being licensed to rironch he wai

Johnson bcleiving that duty called them to

on their arrival immediately commenced the
work of humanity and love. Highly educated
youthful, etrnest, nnd ardent their efforts
promised gratifying success, when alas ; the
insurrection oecnrred, and the meek and
humble missionaries fell beneath the bandt of
violence.
At the time of Lis death Mr. Johnson was
in his 23d year. He was highly talented,
profoundly versed in theology and entirely,
devoted to the great ennxe he had espoused.

AN ISCIDE.tT OF THE PANIC AT Jilt:
WtlT.
Caibo, Illinois, Oct. 8. Mr. I.jsle I.od-
wick, of the firm of Lodwick & Allen, import
ers of pnper-banginps, arrived bete this eve
ning Irom 1 uuucuu, kv, where his presence
created qnite a popular comiiibtinb.
Mr. Lodwick visited t'uilucah lor the pur
pose of drawing out of thn Commercial Bank
nf Kentucky, there located, ?12,000iu golJ,
in exchange tor bills ol that oank. lie is no
broker, and his object was mertly to save
himself from loss, through the high rates of
exchnnge. He was obliged to have conside
rable ol that, and by drawing tue specie, with
the notes in his possession, would save hi in a
loss of seme $4110 an object worth contend
ing for uow-a days, most ussuredly.
On arriving at Paducuh, he left his pack
age of notes at the Bank, iuti iulitig to call
again for his gold. .Going to his hotel, ho
was approached by some citizens, who in
quired the object of his visit to Paducuh. He
frankly told them. I hey told him lu would
not be allowed to take one cent of specie out
of the Bunk, and that he had better leave
town on the first boat. Mr. L. c.x postulated
wilh them for' half an hour, but nil to un pur
pose. He then returned to thu Hank, follow
ed by a crowd, which accumulated at every
step, and which became very clamorous.
Arriving ut the Bank, thu Cashier informed
Mr. Lodwick that liis specie was ready, aud
that the Bank was happy to accommodate
him. The crowd, however, told him he
should not touch a farthing of it. He was
entirely surrounded l.y a cljmorous crowd,
evidently disposed to commit personal vio
lence, though the merchant is a .nan filly fie
years of uge. and infirm at that. Indeed he
would have been struck down by a cane, but
for the prompt interference of Mr. Bowman,
one of the editor of that city. M r. Lodwick
endeavored to reason with the crowd; told
tbem he was no broker, that his business was
perfectly legitimate, Ac, but it was of no
use. He then made his way to the house of
Watts, Given & Co., and held a private in
terview wilh one of the firm. He asked hi
advice, and received in reply, "Take the first
boat if you want to escape a ducking."
Mr. Lodwick asked if the respectable peo
ple of Puducah upheld the movement, and
was told that they did. He inquired for city
officers, with whom he miiil.t consult, but
could tlml none. The crowd finally took pos
session of him, conducted him buck to the
Commercial Bank, and niadu him withdraw
