South Western Normal College--Cal
ifornia, Washington Co. Pa.
We have just received a circular of this
Institution and feel gratetul that the plan is
so complete and the work so well pi ogress
ed. It is no small undertaking to found a
school of such dimentions, especially in times
suffering from the commotions of war, and
it speaks n•ell for the enterprise of that lo
cality.
An act, incorporating the Trustees and
Stockholders, has just passed the Legisla
ture, and full collegiate powers have been
conferred. The circular informs us that the
Faculty consists of J. C. Gilchrist, Principal
and Professor of Didactics (C-c.; W. N. Null,
Professor of Languages, &c.; G. S. Osborne
Professor of Mathematics; Mrs. 11. C. Gil
christ, Teacher of Literature, and
Miss Caroline Know, Teacher of Music!, with
others of the Model Sehool. We think the
course of study admirably adapted to the
proposed aim—the preparation of the teach
er. This circular also contains the recom
mendation of the County Soperindendents,
and therefore settles the queqion as to
where their influence will be given.
We understand that the former pupils of
the school whou it was at Hillsboro, will re
sume their studies ander the new organiza
tion with their old instructors, a truly judi
cious course. May the work speed, and may
we soon hear of the recognition of the
school by the proper authorities of the State.
See advertisement in this paper and scud to
the Principal for a circular.
Another Warning
We cautioned our readers a day or since,
says the Harrisburg / - 4/0/), against the too
common practice of burning oil - Kick low in
the socket for the purpose of either saving
consumption of the fluid or moderating the
light, stating the evil consequences that
might result. We now have a late instance
to relate—out of many that have fallen un
der our notice—which we hope will convince
the most skeptical that not only health, but
life iseiven endangered by burning the lamp
wick low in the socket. The Lansing Jour
nal mentions the fact that a woman in that
neighborhood was found dead in her bed,
baring died in consequence of the poisonous
gas arising from a burning kerosene lamp,
with the wick turned down, in her chamber.
With the lamp properly trimemd, the wick
at a proper height s the gas is consumed,
; and there is no danger. But when the
.wick is turned down too low the gas escapes
,and poisons the air.
,A Mother and Child Drowned in a
Cistern.
A week ago last Saturday, a Mrs Lucre
tia Ashburn and child, residing in Tremont
;township, Tazewell county, met their death
in the following manner: Her youngest
,child, an intant 18 months old, while playing
iin:the yard fell in the cistern. Mrs. A tied
; a rope around her waist, and went down to
,get It out, but was unable to return. Her
two children, aged 4 and 6 years, at her re
quest threw down a chair, churn and a plank
lit were two young to go for assistance, and
the unfortunate woman and child both were
'drowned. The mother had placed the body
of the babe in the churn, thinking probably
that it would be safe, and then worn out
with her efforts, sank beneath the surface.
When her husband came borne, the two chil
dren told him that the Why was in the cis
tern. On going to see, and drawing up the
'rope he found the dead bodiesl4s wife

Interesting Questions and Answers
relative to the 7-30 U. S Loan.
MR. JAY COOKE, of Philadelphia, who for
so long a time had the mmagement of the
popular 500 million 5.20 Loan, has just been
appointed by Sec'y Fessenden, the Gener
lal agent to dispose of the only popular Loan
!now offered tor sale by the Government,
viz: the "Seven-thirty."
In entering upon his duties he desires to
:answer plainly the large number of ques
-1 tions daily imul hourly propounded to him,
so that his fellow countrymen can all un-
Iderstand what this "Seven-Thirty Loan" is
—what are its peculiar merits,—hot they
can subscribe for or obtain the notes, &c.
I.st Question. Why is this Loan called the
{ "Seven-Thirty Loan?
Answer. It bears interest, in currency,
l et the rate of Seven Dollars and thirty cents
each
. year, on every hundred dollars; mak
ing the interest as follows:
1 1 - One cent per day on each $5O note.
Two cents " " 100 "
ITen cents •• 44 500 "
1,000 "
T O N n v e e" d ty ollar " 5,000 "
2nd Question. When and how can they
; be obtained?
( _fewer. They are for sale at pay, and ac
crued interest, by all Sub Treasuries, Nation
al and other Banks, and all Bankers and
Brokers.
3rd Question. When is the interest pay
able and how can ;t be collected?
Answer. The Coupons or interest tickets
I I are due 15th ut February and 15th of Au
gust in each year, and can be cut off trom
{ the note, and will be cashed by any S ub-
Treasurer, U. S. Depository, National or
other Bank or Banker.
4th Qcestiun. When must the Govern
rnent pay of these 7.505?
Answer. They are due in two years and a
trom the 15th ot February, 1865; viz.:
lon the 15th ot August, 1867.
1 sth Question. Must I receive back my
money so soon as .1867?
Answer. No: nut unless you yourself pre
ter to do so—the law gives you the right to
demand from the Government, at that time
either your money or an equal amount at
par, of the famous and popular 5 20. Gold
Bearing G per cent roan.
Oth Question. how much do you consider
this privilege of conversion, into 5.20 Loan
to be worth? •
Answer. 5.20 s bearing Gold interest from
Ist of November, are to-day worth 8 per
cent. premium. If they are worth no more
at the end of the two years and a half, when
you have a right to them, than they now
I are, this premium added to the interest you
receive, will give you at least 10 per cent.
per annum fur your money—but the opinion
is that they will be worth more than 9 per
cent. premium at that time.
7th, Question. What other advantage is
there in investing in the 7.30 Loan?
Answer. It cannot be taxed by States,
,Coanties or Cities, and this adds from one to
three per cent. per annum to the net in
come of the holder, according to the rate of
taxation in various localities. All bonds and
stocks, except those of the United States,
and all morgages, &c., are taxed, not only
by the Goverumeut, but by States, Counties
and Cities.
Bth Question. How does the Government
raise the money to pay the interest, and is
it safe and sure?
Answer. The Goverment collects, by
taxes, internal revenue, and duties on im
ts, fully three hundred millions each year.
This is nearly three times as much as is need
ed to pay the interest on all the debt, and as
soon as the war is ended, the amount not
needed to pay the interest will be used in
paying off the debt. Our Government has
twice paid off all its debt, and can easily do
so again. The interest is sure to be paid
promptly, and . the debt itself is the very
safest investment in the world. It is as safe
as a nwrgage on a good farm, and pays a
better interest. It is, in tact, a first mor
gage on all lands, all incomes, all railroad
and canal bonds, and bank or other stocks,
mortgages, &c
Nothing can be safer, fur we are all bound
for it, and all that we have is firmly held
' fur the payment of principal and interest.—
How foolish those people are, who keep
their gold and greenbacks idle and lucked
up, or purchase mortgages or railroad stocks
and bonds, which pay only 5 or 6 per cent
interest, when these Seven-Thirties (cnunt
iug the premium on Five-Twenties,) over
ten per cent., and are so much safer and
surer.
9th Question. How many Seven-Thirties
are there, and how intuit remains unsold?
_ tines: a
Ansi"( r. There are only about
dred and twenty five millions authorized by
law, and only about one hundred and ninety
millions remain unsold.
10th Question. How long will it take you
to sell the ballance?
Answer. There are about 800 National
Banks all engaged in selling them; also a
large number of the old banks, and at least.
three thousand private bankers and brokers
and special agents will be engaged in all
parts of the country in disposing of them to
the people.
11th Question. How long will it take to
sell the whole?
Answer. In less than three months they
will be all sold, and will no doubt then sell
at a premium, as was the case with the old
Seven-Thirties, the first Twenty-Year Loan,
and the Five-Twenties.
The above questions and answers, it is be
lieved, will give full information to all. It
not, the General subscription Agent, or any
of the Banks or Bankers employed to sell
the loan, will be glad to answer all questions
and to furnish the Seven Thirties in small
or large sums (as the notes are issued in de
nominations of $5O, $lOO, $l,OOO & $5,000.)
and to render it easy for all to subscribe,
thus fulfilling the instructions of itr Fesseu
den, who earnestly desires that the people
of the whole land, (as well as the capitalists,)
shall have every opportunity afforded them
of obtaining a portion of this most desirg
ble investment.

Franklin Asking for Work
When a youth, Franklin is-ent into
London, entered a printing office, and
enquired if he could get employment.
t•Where are you from !" asked the
foreman.
"America," was the reply.
"Ali,' said the foreman, from Ameri
co, seeking employment as a printer.
Well do you really understand the art
of printing ? Can you set type .?"
Franklin stepped up to one of the
cases and in a very brief space of time
set up the following passage from the
first chapter of John :
"Nathaniel saith unto him, can any
thing good come out of Nazareth ?
Phillip &tali unto him, come and see.'
It was done so quickly, so accurate
ly, and contained a delicate reproof so
appropriate and powerful, that it at
once gave him character and standing
with all in the office.

/I§.-John Rock, of the United States Slt
preme court, made a speech at the negro la
bile° in Philadelphia last Friday. John said
that the cry df "You will want the white

compliment to the women. He "knew of
no prettier class of persons than the ebony
race, traced through various phases to the
the beautiful Monde with !ler delicate tint,
likened unto the interior of the sea shell."
What does John think of the "cha w-toback

Simple Mode of Computing Interest.
Multiply any given number of dollars by
the number of days of ilaterest required,
separate the right hand figure, and divide by
six, the result is the true interest for such
number of days at six per cent. This rule
is so simple and so true, according to all bu
siness usage, that every banker, broker, mer
chant and clerk should post it up for refer
ence.
