The advance is made sole ly on the ground that the demand for the article over-runs the supply. The mills and foundries ' are running at the top of their speed,and the iron interest never was so prosperous as at present. There has been a decided advance in iron every where, and great hesitation is observed in making contracts. Buyers hope fir lower rates, and producers fear they cannot fill contracts at rates for which they can be placed. The advance in the price of coal in England, the increased wages of men employed in mining or in foundries, the enhanced cost of producing iron—all these causes have unsteadied the market and have brought about an advance in prices which is most encouraging to iron-masters. For the first time in many years, in f.Let in all the years of their enterprise, they find not only an unusual demand for their products. but prices which make the fur nace stocks fairly blaze with joy. There is no doubt. that the iron interest of the country is rapidly growing into most com mending proportions, and those familiar with it predict a prosperity such as the world has not seen. eflirA horrible murder was perpetrated in Baltimore,on Tuesday a week. Mrs. Am elia Wheat was a lady of eighty years re siding at 664 West Lombard street, a few ' doors above Mount street. She possessed considerable wealth, and her heir was un derstood to be her nephew, Jesse Upper cue, twenty-two years of age, a graduate of St. John's College, and a student of Law, who with his mother and sister re sided in the same house. About two o'- clock on Tuesday :morning the sharp re port of a pistol was heard in the room of Mrs. What. The cry of murder was raised by Uppercue, from the front door, and upon inspection, Mrs. Wheat's body was found lying on the bed, with a pistol shot through the temple. She had appar ently died without a struggle: The r,.om was in disorder. The only statementpur porting to give a clue is that of young Up percue himself. According to his declar ation he was iu his apartment, in the sec ond story, when she called him to come in her room, saying that she felt nervous. He complied, and fell asleep. He was a wakened by the report of a pistol ; per- , ccived a man retreating from the room, and followed him. firing two shots from his revolver at him, without apparent ef fect. From this statement the theory would be formed that robbers were the perpetrators of thb crime. .The testimony before the jury goes to discredit this sup position. An examination of the kitchen door through which the robbers are said to have enterq, resulted in a distinct o pinion from the officers who were on the premises, that the: door had been forced open from the inside. Suspicion has fallen upon young Uppercue, but the cor oner's jury thought the evidence insuffi cient' to hold him fin. trial.

SUMMER COMPLAINT.-A 8 this is the season when almost everybody suffers from this distressing malady, _we reprint the following recipe for its cure, from the Wenonah, Advance : "Take about one gill of rice and place it in a spider over she fire, stirring it con stantly until thoroughly brown, fill the spider with boiling water and let it boil till the mass is of the consistency of thin paste. If the rice is not cooked perfectly soft, add a little more water and' let it boil away again. Be careful at the last moment that it does not burn on the hot.; tom. When cooked soft, turn into a bowl, sweeten with loaf or crushtd sugar and salt to suit the taste. Eat in milk.— It is rarely necessary to repeat the dose." The remedy possesses the three-fold merit of being simple, harmless and ac cessible to every family. ne..Colonel William M.

We often hear it said that the stabili bility of a Republic depends upon the in telligence of the people. In a Monarchy the ignorance of the nlasses may-be the bliss of the monarch, but not so in a gov ernment like ours. Here the problem of universal education is one of the greatest problems that we are called upon to solve, and hence everything bearing on the sub ject merits more or less attention. Con nected with this problem are difficulties which can be ♦ removed only by the • • , of a "multitude of counselkirs." Hence, the need of such organiz' ation as that which held its 19th Annual Convention in the Academy , of Music, Phila., Aug. 20, 21 and 22, 1872. No pains were spar ed to make this Convention the largest and most successful one in the history of the Association. The programme of ex ercises was published in many of the news papers of the State and all who read it n6ed not be told that it was a good one. Of the many educational topics . discussed, space will permit me to allude to but a few, and I shall try to select those that I think will be of most interest to the rea der. In his inaugural address, the Pres., Hon. Henry Houck, Dept. State Superinten dent, after tracing the history of the As sociation (which, according to another speaker, was born in Phila. and is now being nursed by its mother) spoke of the educational advances made in late years, citing among other evidences of progress, the willingness of the people to be taxed for school purposes, the erection of better choal-houses and the increase_of Teach er' salaries.—Your enterprising Borough might be offered as a striking illustration of the two latter heads, and it is, it may be hoped, no exception to the first. "The school tax is the best tax," says the motto. It is true. The report of State Superintendent Wick ersham on the proposed monument to our distinguished educators was &o a part'of the firstll ay!,s-proceedings==This-interes ts= every pupil in our schools and every Teacher in the state, from the fact that all are expected to contribute something toward the erection of the munument.--4 - The plan is to ask every child-to--give 2 cents, every teacher 10 cents, and every Superintendent $l.OO. More may, of course, be given by the parties if they choose, and contributions from other sour ces will not be refused. Prof. Cattel, Pres. of Lafayette College, read a paper on the introduction of the ain and—Greek-writings-of-Christian authors in our colleges, strongly favoring e ea. eco 'tde .iege_studeßs_minfl lie argued, too much influeneed at present by heathen authors,—benco the sad re sults that so frequently follow a classical course of study. There should be an el— ementary course from Christian writers, and afterward the master pieces of the Greek and Latin language might be stu died with less detriment to the morals of the student. From an address on the compensation of Teachers, delivered by Edward Ship pen, Rm. one of the school officials of Philadelphia, it appears that the aver nge wages of Teachers in this state is a bout 59 -- eta. per day I Rather a sickly. sign of "progress," but no doubt Mr. Ship pen's arithmetic might be called in ques tion. tie made some statements in 're gard to the comparative daily earnings of Teachers and such intellectual beings as horses and oxen; and the inference' seemed to be that the party suffering most by the comparison was not the ox, much less the horse! The battle is to the strong, muscle bears away the palm. But it yill not always be thus—the stain will wipe out. Speed the day. The co-education of the sexes was dis cussed by some of the leading educator's if the State, but the sentiment was all— or very nearly all—on one side, the affir mative. Views have greatly changed on this question within the last twenty years. Eighteen years ago when the Teacher's Convention met at Pottsville, a vote was taken on the question, and the ;negative carried. At the late Meeting in Phila delphia Supt. Wickersham moved to re consider the vote of eighteen years aga, and this time the measure was sustained without a dissenting voice. The question as now discussed, does not have reference to putting boys and girls together in our common schools,—the propriety of doing this is admitted,—but it relates to the admission of women to our colleges on an equal footing with men. The idea of do ing this seems to have originated among the society of Friends, and has already gained strength enough to break open the doors of some of the leading_ educational Institutions in the land. The theoreti cal arguments heretofore urged against the measure seem to have been exploded by actual experiment. Japan seems to be taking a great inter est in the educational affairs of the New World. Mr. Mori, minister from that country, was present at the Association and made a report of the educational con dition and needs of that densely popula ted part of our globe. Besides sending some of their young people over here to be educated, they have secured the ser vices of Hon. B. G. Horthrop of Conn., who will go to Japan to show the inhabi tants thereof what a Yankee school-mas ter knows about education, language, re ligion, industrial, pursuits, &c. There were many pleasant features con nected with late Teachers' gathering in Phila. Perhaps no class of workers stand snore in need of a little recreation than do Teachers—especially those who are pent up in the school room for nine or ten months in the year. One advantage of the Association is that it enables the Teachers , to et joy this recreation, —to re new old friendships and form new acquain tances, to visit interesting rections of the country and see sights which would oth erwise remain unseen by them. Last year the northern part of the State, western New York and Niagara, Falls were visit ed ; this year Phila., the southwestern part of the State, central N. Jersey, Long Branch and "Old Ocean" ; next year the Association will convene at Erie, in the northwestern part of the State on Lake Erie. Near Mereersburg, Pa.

Something for the School Directors and citizens to think about. The people often ask the question wheth er the Directors have authority to employ teachers without a valid certificate. I have quite recently , heard it spoken of by the patrons of the township and borough schools, By a reference to the school law it will be seen that the employment of a teacher without a valid certificate is ille gal, for the law expressly says "no teacher shall be employed in teaching any branch if•.:l : • an-those—enumer: in his or bar' certificate," The very act of the Directors in employing a teacher with out a valid certificate is unlawful be he for principal or subordinate teacher, be cause the act of employing a teacher with. out a certificate is certainly contrary to the letter and spirit of. the school law; therefore the Directors cannot lawfully employ a teacher first and have him ex amined afterward, because the law posi tively forbids them to do so. The viola tion of the law consists in the act of em ploying teachers without a certificate and the law always looks on the intention of the Directors. By a strict construction of the law no teacher has any right to teach in any schuol recognized as a public school in this commonwealth without a certificate setting forth his or her qualification. Directors who think_that teachers who hold College Diplomas are exempt from egnination and can be employed to teach in our common schools without a valid certificate are surely mistaken in'the con- struction of the law. It is the duty of every citizen who pays school tax to see hat-the-Directors complylvith the very_let, ter and spirit of the law, if they neglect or refuse to comply with the requirement of the law let citizens remonstrate and report such proceedings to the school de partment. The citizens have a perfect right to de mand of the Directors that every teacher who is not exempt from an examination b , , •• . i'ectecLto-a ably=an - not a private examination by the County Superintendent. It is not complying with the Jaw to sub ject our teachers who teach the primary schools to the exciting ordeal of a public examination and - allow others to teach the higher branches - without being examined at all. Directors sometimes make a great mistake when they employ teachers on personal recommendation without ever thinking that a good certificate is the sa fest guide in selecting teachers hi regard to professional standing and skill 'in the art ofthathing. Whenever-Directorswish- IP=1). e some o •ac era -w om—t ey have employed-examined privateLy_th_ey_ pervert the meaning of the law and make a very bad impression on the patrons in stead of a favorable one.
