MARRIAGE. Married Persons or Young Men contemplating marriage, nwnre of Physical Weakuess, (Lous of Proercnllve Power Itnpoteney), Nervous Ex citability, Palpitation, Orgnnic Weakness, Ner vous Debility, or auy other Disqualification, speedily relieved. lie who places himself under the care of Dr. J, may religiously conllde In his honor as a gentle man, and confidently rely unon bis skill as a Pbv slclnu. ORGANIC WEAKNESS, Impotcucy, Lots of Power, Immediately Cured and full Vigor Restored. This Distressing Adectlon which renders Life miserable and marriage impossible lsthe penalty paid by the victim of improper Indulgences". Young persons are too upt to commit excesses from not beiiignwnre of the dreadful conseqeuces that may ensue. Now, who that understands the subject will pretend to deny that the power of procreation Is lost sooner by those falling into improper habits than by tbe prudent f Besides bring deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring, the most serious und destructive symptoms to both body and mind arise. The system becomes da ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions Weakened, Loss of Procrentlve Power, Nervous Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart, Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay and Death. A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS. Persons ruined In health by unlearned preten ders who keep them trilling montb after month, taking poisonous and Injurious compounds), should apply Immediately. DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal Colltue f Surgeons, Lon don, Graduated from one of the most eminent Colleges in the United States, and the greater part of whose lfe has been spent in the hospitals of London, l'ris, Philadelphia and elsewhere, has etlectcd some of the inobt astonishing cures that were ever known ; inauy troubled withriug iug In the head und ears wheu asleep, great nervousuess, being alarmed at sudden sounds, bashfulucss, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes withdcraugeuicutof mind, were cured Inimediatelv. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have lnjurrd themselves by improper Indulgence and solitary habits, which ruiu both body aud nilud, unllltliig them fur cither business, ttud, society or mar riage. Thdi are some of the sad and rueUucholy effects produced by early habits of vouth, via: Weakness of the Back and Limbs, P"ulns In the Hack and Head, Diinuess ol bight, Loss of Mus cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy, Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Disruptive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con sumption, Ac. Mestaio-T The fearful effects ou the mind are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, ICvil Forcbodintrs, Aversion to Society, belf-DUtrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, Ac, are soma of the evils produced. TuouuANDS of persons of all aes can now judire what is the cause of their declining health, losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous and emaciated, having a singular appearance about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump tion YOUNG MEN Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac tice iuaulgcd in when alone, a habit frequently learned from evil compauious, or at school, the effects of which are nightly fell, even when asleep, and 11 not cured, rcuders marriage impos sible, aud destroys both mind and body, should apply immediately. Wbut a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, the darliug of his parents, bbould be snntcliea from all prospects and enjoyments of life, by the consequence of deviating from the path of nature and indulging in a certain secret habit. Buch persons ui tT, before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote conuubial happi ness. Indeed without these, the journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes shadowed witb rler-pair und filled with the melan choly reflection, thut tbe happiness of another becomes blighted with ourown. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds tbithehas imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it too oltrn happens that au j ml"ictl "hoc ui .iiuiiir, ui urcuu Ul uil'Urr, uricis 111111 iiuiii uppiwii lu luusa nun, iiuiii education and rwpcrtablliljr, can ulone befriend him, deluying till the comuilutiouul symptoms of this horrid disease make tbeir appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased note, noelural pains in the bead and limbs, diuiuoss of sight, dcafnebs, nodes on the ahin bones nud arms, blotches ou the bead, face and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at lut the palate or the inoutn or the b.un-s ot me uuse Inn in, aud the victim of this awful dioia.c becomes a horrid object of couimibcrntUiu, till death puts a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending j him to " tliat Undiscovered Country from whence uo truvellur returns." It Is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE victims to tbi. terrible disease, through fulling Into the builds of Iguoruut or uuskillful PRE TENDERS, w ho, by the use of that deadly Pol- son, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution, and incupiible of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer month lifter month tukini; their noxious or in jurious compounds, and Insiaad of b-.-iug restored to a renewal ot l.lle tgor and Happiness, In des pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over his galling disappointment. To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and from his extensive practice aud observations In the great Hospitals of Europe, aud tbe first in this country, via : Eugluud, France, Philadelphia aud elsewhere, Is enabled to offer the most cer tain, speedy and effectual remedy In the world for all d scuscs of imprudence.

AN OLD STORY NEW LI' TOED. BY OLIVER J. BUItKK. Robert, Earl of Kingston, wa born in 1704, and was married w lieu Lord Kings borutigh, at liflucn years uf age, to Cato line, sole daughter and heiress of Richard Fitz-Uvrald, of Mount Ophalv, in tho coun ty of Kildare, Irclnud. The lttdy was younger still, und was poRsessed ol great menial nnd personal attractions. She had n brother to whom she was greatly attach ed, who had died without any lawful issue, but who had left a naturul son, Henry Uerald Fitz-( iera'd. Pitying his forlorn condition, Lady Kiugsborotigh had him reared Willi as much cure as if he hud been her own sou. .She saw to his wants, which she invariably supplied, and did all in her power to make him forget the uuhappy situation in which he was placed. In a word, she brought him up witli her own children. M10 obtained a commission for him in the line, aud he soon attained, by reason not nlouo of his great interest, but his great talents, tho position of his regi ment. Among the children of Lord and Lady Kiugsborough, with whom he was, unfor tunately, vloo intimate, there was Mary, the third daughter, remarknble for her graceful figure, for the soft and pleasing expression of her countenance, and for the beauty of her hair, which grew iu such luxuriance, as to attract the natice of all who saw her. Happy would it have been for this thoughtless nnd innocent child if Henry Filz-Geiald, the illegitimate son of her uncle, had never been admitted under the shadow of her father's roof. He was then married ; he had wou the affections of a lovely and accomplished girl, but forget- ful alike of his marriage vows, and of every feeling of gratitude to his noble benefactors, he lixed his eyes on hir whom by the laws of God aud man he was bound to protect. At length he acquired such au influence over her that it wits impossible she could elude his grasp. Wherever she went Colo nel l'itz-fJerald was sure to be somewhere near at hand. At theatres, at concerts, aud nt balls, his attentions were unremit ting ; he danced with her, sat by her side, saw her to the carriage, aud did everything that man could do to subdue tho miud of her, little more than a child, to his own wicked purposes. Rumors wero soon set alloat that Colonel Fitz-trerald's attentions to the Honorable Miss Kingsborough were not those that might be expected from a married man to an unmarried nud inter esting young girl. Theso rumors were un heeded by Lord nud Indy Kingsborough. "It was impossible," they said, that a man so benefitted es the colonel had been should commit a crime which, detestable enough in any one, would in his particular case imply 11 degree 01 villtauy almost lieyoud example." Thus they reasoned with them selves, and would hear to uothiug that would throw a shadow on the honor of Colonel Fiu-Gernld, or on tho fair name of their darling child. In the summer, however, of 1707. the Hon. Mary Kingsborough disappeared from her home, to the horror of hor father aud mother, who then resided near J-011-don. A note, left on her dressing-table, had informed them that she hud Hod from home with tho intention of drowning her self iu the Thames. Tho river was drag ged for miles on both sides of where her bonnet and shawl were found on the bank, but the search proved unavailing. Her family were now impressed with the con viction that the unhappy young lady had committed suicide ; but as time wore on, his lordship began calmly to reflect on his daughter's disappearance. Ho could see no reason for committing self-destruction, and lie therefore resolved to double his ef- 1 forts to get back his lost child. A circum stance soon occurred which impressed him witn ine idea that his daughter still lived ; ho had met a post-boy, who had informed him that, some short time ago, while driv ing a geutleman, whom he never saw be fore, 011 the road to Loudon, from a town in his lordship's neighborhood, his atten tion was attracted by the appearnuce of a young lady who was walking alone. The gentleman ordered the carriage to stop, aud invited the lady to take a seat beside him, who at once, as if it were pre-arranged, accepted the invitation, and on their arrival in Loudon they parted from him in each other's company, but to what fart of tho city they directed their course 10 was entirely ignorant. Lord KiusuorougU now had tho clue, and he was determined to follow it up. Advertisements appeared in every paper in England, ottering great rewards for any information that would restore the unfor tunate young lady to her parents ; she was faithfully described in the publie priuts, especial altcntiou being directed to the pro fusion of her long aud flowing' hair. The friends of the family were assiduous in their attentions, and they failed not to state their convictions that the young lady had eloped with Colonel FiU-Gerald. In dignant at tho charse, the colonel joined iu tho search, aud wheu all proved fruit less, no one was louder iu lamentations than he was. ''He could uot rest,' he said, "till she was found, for in no other way could his iunovence of tbe deed be sufficiently established." The apparent iucerity of his protestations, hit ceaseless endeavors te) And her, his uumerous calls at the house, his unwearied attentions aud agonialsing protestations disarmed the most suspicious. He was admitted to the family councils, proposed plaus. and acted the part of a loving and grateful relative u admirably that noue could for one in stance suppose that the lady was at that rsry moraeut in nil own sjiKs keeping. Tho hour of rclributiou at length crime. A young girl waited one morning on Lady Kingsborough, and informed her ladyship that her attention was drawn, by the con tinued advertisements she had axon in the public newspapers, to the circumstances of a young lady having cloned with a gentle man from her father's house. Xow, sho was a servant at a lodgiug-house in Clay ton street, Kensiugton, to which place a gentleman had brought a young lady, an swering in every particular to the descrip tion given of hor in the public placards and newspaper advertisements. Her hair, sho said was the most lovely she had ever seen, and fell about her shoulders in great and rich profusiou. She was, how ever, astonished beyond measure to see her, a few mornings before that lime, cut ting away those locks with a pair of scis sors, her eyes being suffused with tears. She theu felt convinced that the strange visitor was no other than tho daughter of Lord Kingsborough. Having goue ou to describe, to the best of her ability, the an pcaraucc of the handsome gentlemnu who was in the habit of visiting her alone, the drawing room door wus thrown ojien, and In walked Coloucl lFitz-Gerald on his daiy mission. . 'Oh!'' tho girl liysteiically screamed, "that is he there is the very gentleman who visits the strange lady. 'lie it is who brought her to our house." Astounded at the unexpected exclama tion, Colonel Fitz-Gerald was so taken by surprise that he dashed from the room without uttering a siug!e word of contradic tion or explanation ; nnd no concession that he could make would or could expose his unexampled villany so nlainly as his rush from that house on that day. Lord JllllaUUMlUII O Ot V.I.HIU UUII, IVIJIUIICI AXIIIj, afterwards Lord Lorton,) tired with indig nation nt the idea that the man who might havo been a peasant but for his family that he, the heartless scoundrel, who owed thtm every thing that he was worth living for in life, should thus seduce his lowly and accomplished sister, and bring disgrace on the name and house of Kingsborough, re solved to havo instant satisfaction, lie sent him a hostile message. Colonel Fitz Gerald accepted the challenge, observing at the same time that his character was so blasted by the late aflnir that he had no chance of getting a second, but that he was sure to bo on the ground. It was on the 1st of October, 1797, that the duelists met Colonel Fitz-Gtrald was, as he stated, unable to find a second, and he fought without one. Four shots were exchanged, and then Fitz-Gerald made nn ellbrt to address Colonel Kingsborough; but this was cut short at once by him ex claiming "You are a damned villain; I wou't hear a word you have to offer." Colonel Kingsborough's ammunition was then exhausted ; but so deadly was the animosity ou both sides that they had ap pointed to meet on tho following morning, llefore, however, the appointed time, botli parlies were put undor arrest by tho police. The voting lady was now discovered bv her father from her seducer, aud conveyed to Mitehclstown Castle, iu the south of Ire land, for, as it was vainly supposed, from the inlluenee of Colonel Fitz-Gerald. Hut his plans were already laid ; he had bribed one of the maid-servanls who accompanied her to Ireland, und through her did ho ob tain information of the plnce of the lady's retreat. Disguising himself as best he could, ho hnd the unblushing effrountry to set up at the very inn tit Mitchelstowu. for the sole purpose of ngaiu carrying off his unhappy victim. The inn-kee)er, who was a follower of thn Kingsboroughs, lost no time in acquainting Ixrd Kingsborough of the stranger's presence, and of the dan ger his daughter was in. His lordship hastened to the hotel at Mitehelstown, and then discovered that on that morning the stranger had taken his departure for Kil worth after sunset, aud there learnt that a stranger had come there only a few hours before ; and ut onco sent tho waiter to his room, with a message that a gentleman wished to see him on urgent business. The door was locked, and he roughly re plied from within that he did uot wish to be disturlicd. What must havo Wen the in dignation of the father nnd brother on hearing tho well-known voice of Colonel Fitz-Gerald himself. They uevcr for one moment believed that he could havo the audacity to come to their own town ut Mitchelstowu, though they were inclined to believe that the stranger was sotuo emis sary connected with the colonel. In a moment the door was smashed open, smarting under liio wrongs his lamiiy had received from tins heartless vil lain, tho Hon. Colonel Kingsborough rush ed at him just as ho was seizing his pistols. A violent struggle ensued. ixrd Kings borough, who saw his son s danger, raised his pistol, took sure nud deadly aim. and shot Fitz-Gerald dead on the spot. There aro old men still living who remember the excitement caused by this well-merited murder. Not the ghastly horrors of the revolution, not even the expected French invasion, nor tho deeds of blood with which the minds of men were then familiar, drew away the public attention from tho Kings tion tragedy, as it was too truly called. Aud to nuswer for this murder Lord Kingsborough. then Karl of Kingston, was placed at thu liar of the Irish House of Peers.' Ou the 18th of May, 17.W, the trial took place. The Lords' chamber being too con iiuerl, tho Houso of Commons was selected as tho most fitting place for the trial. The procession to the llouso was miushalcd by tho Ulster King of Arms. First came tho Masters In Chaucery, then the twelve judg es, in their scarlet nnd ermine robes; then thu younger sons of the peers,uext the elder sous, then tho peers themselves, and last of all wiine Lord Clare, walking in solitary and stately dignity, as Ioid High Steward of the Houso of Lords. When the usual formalities wero gone through the noble prisoner was brought to the bar, and then, according to tho ancient usage, knelt before his judges. Ho was at once directed to rise by Lord Clare, who, in tones of majesty, thus addressed Litis from the woolsack : 'Robert, Karl of Kingston, you are brought hero to answer one of the most serious charges that call be tnado against the murder of a fellow-subject. Tlie so lemnity aud awful appearance of this judi cature must naturally discompose and em barrass your lordship. It may, therefore, not be improper for me to remind your lordship that you aro t.be tried by tbe laws of a freo country, framed for the pro Uction of iouoceuce, and the punishment of guilt alone ; and it must be arreat con solatiou to you to reflect that you are to receive a trial lie fore the supreme judica ture of the nation that you are to be tried by your peers, upon (titoae unbiased judg nieut and candor yon can have the firmest reliance, wore particularly as they aro to pass judgment upon you under the solemn and inviolable obligation of their honors. It will nisi be a consolation to you to kpo w that the benignity of our law distinguished the crime of homicide into different classes. If It arise from accident, from inevitable necessity, or without malice, it does not fall within the crime of murder ; and if these distinctions be warranted by eri donee, you will be at liberty to take advan tnge 01 them, itetore 1 conciudi;, lam commanded by the House to Inform rour lordship, and all others who may occasion to address the court during the trial, that tho nddriss must be to the lords in general, ! and not to any lord in particular. j Tho trial tlreti proceeded, and the unani- , raous verdict of the peers was, "Not guil- ty, upon their honors j" and nfter po:ne . farther cereniduials, Lord Clare declared I tho commission dissolvod.

Such, however, was not tho case. Her misfortunes were ended; a life of happiness waa before her at last.

I sy stem 01 puuuc bchuuib, itmi luoso irisuus especially, who are the heaviest tax pay- ers. take an active part in all measures calculated to promote our great cause. This is beginning to bo tho case in many parts of our Slate, and especially in our cities and largo towns. And 1 think a feeling of the same kind is beginning to make ife'.f felt nlso in the town of Sun bury. The property holders, those who are the heaviest tax layers, can readily understand that good schools nnd good schools buildingSwire some of the strong influences that ran be brought to bear on tho minds of strangers, to induce them to make their homes where such desirable privileges can be found as are furnished by a good system of public instruction. Hence they know liint a'l pro:ity improves and rises iu value witli every additional im provement in the schools. To increase this interest, and to encnurago this feeling, I propose to make a few suggestions to vou. and through vou to tho citizens of j Sunbury, in regard to the condition nnd wants of our schools. I have, of course, been too short a time among you, and know as yet too little of tho condition of your schools to be able to say much in regurd to them. Hut, even the hunted knowledge 1 have acquired of them. will. I hope, enable mo to make a few suggestions that may be of somu ser vice to you In your future deliberations nnd actions. Tlicro is ono deficiency in the scholars of your schools to which I desire to call par ticular attention. It is a dificiency that exists in many other schools. Indeed, I think it ctn be 'truly said that it prevails all over the laud. .1 have reference to reading. Vou havo very few good renders, scarcely any, in yur frehooK Such a de ficiency causes serious hindrances in all other studies. A pupil, who is not a good reader, can not study any subject with ad vantage. He will labor under insurmounta ble diltieul'..es, sj long as ho is a poor reader. For, he, who is a poor reader, can hardly understand thoroughly any. thing he studies. Hence, iu committing rules and definitions to memory, he learns words only, and not principles. Thtrtfort, hefonjet is pifl n ht learns. . One cause of this deficiency arisss from the fact that tha young learners hsvo put into their bauds reading books, the seuli ment8 and language of which aro entirely beyond their powers of mind to compre hend. Can it be expected thai young children, of the ago of l'J or 13 years, can understand the sentiments of the speeches of Daniel Webster or Henry Clay, deliver od on the most profound subjects of the statesmanship and to snch audiences as 7, . .. m . l.iey nau oeiore tnem in ine person. uuiicu owu;, un.i Aud yet such is the case in many schools as well as your own. Such a deficiency arises very often also from other causes, which arc found at work ; producing their bad effects In tho primary , and secondary schools. Disliuct and cloar . pronunciation of the vowel sounds is often too much neitloclod in the lower schools. When a habit of indistinct utterance has : L..M Cr. h . . , rl In AAl-tv lifn if la W0I-W ffilHMllt to break it 01 to change it for a better. Such a bad habu Is sometimes even strtngtheued nnd confirmed by a tuacher who has no distict utterance himself, in pronouncing his words in ordinary conversation. Chilr dren are creatures of imitation. If they will le led, though Insensibly, nevertheless surely, iuto the samo habit. A terfcher of 1 tho lower schools especially ouht to be s j person capable of using excellent language in ins conversation witn children, lie teaches as much ju this. way ns iu nny other. It Is true IhtiWa thorough knowledge of the syntactical rules of Grammar is very important, ilut a proper exemplification of these rules in ordinary cunversnliim is still more important, especially on the part of tho teacher iu tho lower schools. There nre persons, who, though they priilo them- selves on their knowledge of Grammar and tbeir tower of analysis, nevertheless tnako j Lnglish language, both in speaking aud iu 1 reading. j Vou are aware uf the fact, that another building, located in as central a part of the : town as possible, is needed for your ad i vsnced pupils. The room of the High j School nnd its location nre very unsuitable. ! Such a school building should have ampin play ground connected with it. The one 1 now used has none but the street, and that ' is about the muddiest one iu the town. I The studies and recitations in the school noni are not tnc only educational intlticn pes that devclon the. tiimil'a mind nnd Khiinn his future destiny. There are olheccuuses, ; operating irresistably on the feelings and habits of children while they go to"sehool a school room, whoso location, architecture nnd geuenil appearances are repulsive and gloomy, they will have littlo pleneurc in going to school. If the intellect is trained under suee influences, the finer feelings of a child's nature, nnd his taste for the beau tiful can not be improved. It is therefore a pleasing prospect, the pupils ha.e before them, that the time is uot far off when they shall enjoy the pleasure oi'sittiug nnd study ing in a building whose beauty and con veniencies will inspire them with a nobla ambition to grow in knowledge and to be come ornaments to society. And it is also a course of encouragement to you, that the citizens of Sunbury heartily approve of 1 your purpose to build a proper structure for the tiocoininodation of your advanced 1 pupils, and to mnke such arrangements in ' regard to the schools as wili meet tho wants ' of all classes. j The arrangements you made, some timo , since, in grading the schools, atul securing the services of efileient teachers has Iieen a wise mensiire. l'upils must now pass a : proper examination before they can enter l a higher school. It pave mo much pleasure to notice the interest the children felt in ; Iho examinations htely made, and the . 1 noxious solicitude they felt in regard to t tho results of these examinations. All ato I now moved by a new motive ; tbe honor , of being able to take a higher position at the end of each yenr. I trust the day is ; not far distant when tho people of Sunbury will bo able to say. what can bo said by tho citizens of manv other towns iu l'eiinsylva- nta that their I'tiblic bclioo! aro the most efficient they have.
