The Common School System.
The annual Report of the Superintendent
of Common Schools, furnishes us with a
very interesting statement of the condition
of this popular branch of our educational
system. The following table exhibits the
present condition of the Schools in Lehigh
county, contrasted with 1844, before the law
was made imperative : •
Whole number of Districts,
Whole number of Schools,
Number :•et reouired,
Average No. of months taught,
NUmber of Male Teachers,

The whole number of School districts in
'the State, is 1,531.
.Number of districts paid, 1,440.
Whole number of Schools, 0,507.
Time Schools were open, five months.
Whole number of teachers, 11,430.

State appropriation paid, $194,309.
Expenses of School houses, $147,510.
Expense of instruction, tot I and conting,en-
Ms, $815,001.
The Superintendent, while adverting in
terms of commendation to the many excellent
features of the existing system, says that it
is by no means perfect, and suggests various I
improvements. A !Hong these the following
may be specified :--
I. The employment of a superior class of
teachers.
2. The increase of the salaries of the
teachers.
3. The better location of the School Hou
ses.
4. A more enlightened mode of construe
thn.
5. An improvement in the discipline of the
;Schools.
EL The abolition of Sub-Districts.
7. The appointment of a Superintendent
in each county.
8. The establishment of more Normal
Schools.
And upon this latter point, the Superin
,tendent says :
"It is hoped and believed that the Com
.monwealth, at no distant day, will be in a
positiOn to render increased aid and encour
agement to the Common School system ;
and in no way could her means intended for
this purpose be more judiciously applied
;than in the establishment of Normal Schools
.at different points of the State for the educa
tion of teachers. NVhat teachers ‘vant, and
what the system wants of them, is a distinct
and independent professional position, idea
'tilted with the occupation of teaching both
•by interest and inclination. This position
,can only be attained by proper professional
,training and adequate compensation."
A Runaway Girl in Male Alike.
About three weeks ago, a girl 14 years of
.age, named Eliza Ann Peacock, or Sin fibers,
as she occasionally called herself, suddenly
Ilisappvttreflifrain the home of a family who
had adopted her, living in Philadelphia, and
for some time ',heir eflorts to ascertain whith
er she had gone ,were fruitless. Recently,
bowever, she was traced to New York City,
and advertisements were inserted in several
Of the papers, announcing her sudden dis
:appearance, and offering a reward of $25 for
her apprehension. From inforMation re
.cently received at the Chief's office. Offi
cer IVorley, on Wednesday, succeeded in
.discovering and arresting the truant. She
"was found in the hosiery store of Richard,l
Venables, No. 132 Canal street, dressed in
.male attire, and doing a clerk's duty behind
the counter, at a salary of $2,50 per week.
Her dress was neat, and she looked like a
smart, active boy, and Mr. y. felt well sat
isfied with the manner in which she waited
a pon his customers. Her 'hair was clipped
short, and her whole appearance so com
pletely disguised her sex that no one even
suspected her. She passed under the name
,of Edward Nlurray. Previous to engaging
strith Mr. Vrnables, she applied to Mr. Ev
erdell, No. 302 Broadway, for a situation as
;clerk- She had no letter of recommenda
tion, and Mr. E. declined engaging her
withe,yt Amp. A day or two afterwa rd she
called again, with the following letter, pur
porting to have been written by her mother,
which was found in her packet at the time
of her arrest. The letter was probably
written either by herself Dr some friend. It
reads as follows : •
.Philadtlphia, Jan. 7, 1851.—Mr. Ever
•dell :—ln compliance with the request of.
,my son,l address this note to you, and in
-answer to your question as to his character,
I have affixed a short history of his life.—
*He Was born in Newport,- R. 1., where he
remained till four or five years old. Since
;that time We have been travelling nearly all
the time till within the fast five years. Dur
ing this time he has been educated princi
pally by me; during our stay at Philadel
p.l)ia he has been attending school at Market
street till within the last year, during which
time be has - been assisting me about the
house, and I think L may safely say that he
can iron, t . ew and cook as well as any girl
of his age. fly husband was a minister, but
being unable to get along•well, he, a few
yeah mince, took to drink lag, which made
matters still worse. Since that time I have
endeavored by embroidery to support the
family, but my health is continually failing,
and not long since Edward said to me :
"Mother, I will go to New York, and see if
I can get a place, for I am old enough to do
something, and then you con live easier."
I acquiesced, for 1 knew something must be
done, and I thought he was old enough to
seek employment. As for his character, I
think you would not find one to serve you
as honestly, faithfully, and truly for sonic
time, arid I feel quite sure that eyes less
partial than a mother's would say the same.
Yours, truly, S. MURRAY. I
N. B.—llearing that a neighbor of yours
was going to New York, I intrusted the let
ter In his charge.
When going to New York city she took
with.her a small and pretty black terrier.
and on being requested to return to Phila
delphia in charge of an officer she refused
to go r‘ithout the dog, which was at a house
in Fourth street. On 14 ednesday afternoon
a telegraphic despatch from Philadelphia
was received, r, questing her to be detained
at the Chief's office until a person, who
should be sent on by her parents, should ar
rive and take her home.

Two Classes of Legislative Heathers.
There have been at Annapolis—and it is
to be presumed there are at the capitals of;
other States—two classes of members of the
Legislature: the one regularly voted for and
elected by the people—the other, either self I
elected or commissioned by constituents who "
have a bill to be passed, or a charter to be
granted, or a privilege to be obtained, through
the officious instrumentality of such agents. 1
To the first class is applied the descriptive
and generic title of delegates ; to the second,
the equally descriptive, but far less honora-1
ble, appellation of /o/dry mom sers. The
first are the nominal makers and rescinders
of laws—the second, prompt, draught, and
prepare bills, and look to their favorable re
ception, before they are submitted to the real
members in high conclave assembled. The
first class are supposed to be paid only by
the State, and the second class to do the en- .
tertainments of the season, supply oysters,
terrapins, and ehompe,gne, and whenever
they have an opportunity, to assist needy
members in their extremeties. Without
their interference. the House is not expect
ed to sit : they are the prompters, sceoe
shifters, and property-men of the [louse, and
without their direction, scarcely a motion to
adjourn can be offered. To this class should
attention be given ; their reports of daily
proceedings would be far more interesting
than the reports of the open sittings of th e e
people's representatives, and from them we
could judge how far each representative
transacted public business independently of
the influence of considerations of personal
bent-fit. We do not know of any direct of
fers of bribery which have been made by
one, or accepted by the other, in times past
but we are free .to confess, that we should
not be surprised to hear that offers and ac-
ceptance had been things of common hap
penina.
Alen who employ their time and talents,
persuasive, gastronomic, or bivacious, for the
purpose of seducing and - cozening the votes
of the people's servants, refrain from using
all means to obtain their ends, only because
they lack opportunities. They are pests—
sores on the body politic ; and it behooves
all worthy men to frown down their impor
tunities, and to set the example of • treating
and speaking of them, as of persons unfit to
be admitted to audience. Until this is done,
we have no right to count upon unright le
gislation—bills Will not be taken up because
their passage is needed for the weal of sz,-
ciety, or due to the claims of individuals—
laws will not be enacted in order that the
course of justice may be simplified--in order
that the swindler may not impose upon the
credulous--in order that the unfortunate
may not be victimized by the obdurate; but
the L e gislature will linger and procrastinate
over the private calendar, or kindred calen
dars, su long as the consideration of them and
action upon them redound Most to their sat•
isfaction. We refer, of course, to legislation
as it has been, and most sincerely hope that
the unpleasant duly will not devolve upon
us of characterizing the present Assembly,
at its close, as in nowise more commendable
than its predecessors. We expect better
things—let us not be disappointed.—B. Pat.
A Night in a Turkish Village.
The pleasures of travelling in the East,
and the perfection of accommodations to be
met with, is thus set forth by a recent wan
derer in the interior of Turkey ; We re
tired after supper to our dorMitory, a detach
ed room on the ground floor, in which there
I had been a large fire lighted to drive out the
mosquitoes. The heat being intense, we
left the 'door 'open, and lay down on our
Greek carpets. Not having slept much in
our bout the preceding night we »were soon
making amends for lost time; but we could
not have been long asleep before I, who hap
pened to lie nearest to the door, was awaken
ed by a series of violent pokes in the back.
I started to my feet; and found that my ene.
my was a large pig who had just come to
bed, and objected to my occupation of his
chamber. 'The pig having been turned out
I lay down again, to be a second time awak
ened by a goat, who had also his objections
to my presence. The goat was strong, and
forced me to a contest which awakened and
amused my friends, who, when afterwards
we all stripped at Janina before entering a
vapor-bath, were much surprised at the black
marks of the goat's horns upon my back and
ribs. When I had turned out the goat I
locked the door, and disposed myself for a
good rest. In half an hour we were all awak•
coed by an ominous noise of underground
thunder twice or thrice repeated. Then the .
entire shed shook desperately, and the large
flat stones with which the sited was roofed
were brought rattling down about our ear's.
With no worse hurt than a few bruises we
escaped instantly from the building, and fin
ished our sleep on the grass of the garden in
which we had supped. It was only an earth
quake."
Progress, in Iron Manufacture.
. In 1847, (says the Sunderland Hera
when Sir Robt. Stephenson designs 41 the
Britannia bridge, he wished to procure for
the bottom of that structure the largest plates
of iron which the skill of this country could
afford. He employed all the leading ma
kers of plates in the Staffordshire district,
where that particular branch of the iron
trifle was then most successfully conducted
and they 'put forth their best efforts to meet
the views of an engineer whose undertak
ings promised to open out a new and wide
field for the consumption of plate iron. The
largest plates required were 12 feet long,
00 inches wide, half an inch thick, having
a superficial area of :30 feet, and weighing
under 5 cwt. After the orders had been
some months on hand, Sir Robert's agent
wrote a note, saying that, with one excep
tion, the makers were not prepared to sup
ply such plates, and so difficult was the roll
ing and shearing found to be, with the ma
chinery then in use, that he entertained fears
of at least considerable delay.
Five years have not been idly spent by
the iron trade. The Derwent Iron Compa
ny sent from their Consett works to the
Great Exhibition of 1851, a plate 17 feet
long, 48 inches wide, and half an inch thick
for which the jury recommended the Coun
cil Medal as a proof of their opinion of its
value to engineers en r aged in the construe,
tion of large works. Last week the inde
fatigable manager of the Consett works, NI r.
George Forster, produced a dozen of the lar
gest plates ever vet rolled in any establish
ment, being no less than 17 feet 10 inches
long, GO inches wide, and 1.1 inch thick,
having a superficial area of 87,1 feet, nearly
three times larger than the largest plates pro
duced in 1847, and weighing 35 cwt.—
These plates were rolled without the slight
est mishap or accident and, to an observer,
as thouoh the massive machinery was but
doing its ordinary work. The plates weigh
ed over two tons when they left the rolls,
and were then taken to the shears, where
they were reduced to proper from and size
with equal facility, though it may well ex•
cite wonder, that any power could be so
well applied as to shear cold iron la inch
thick.
The commercial value of the discovery of
iron stone 'in Cleveland is now so clearly de
veloped, that this district connot fail to take
a leading part in the iron trade. It is most
important, however, that parties of capital
and spirit are found, who are resolved to
prosecute this i:npertant branch of industry
in all its higher branches. Scotland has for
years produced a very large proportion of
raw pig iron, which has been sent to other
districts for conversion, but she has not Wl
ben any important stand in the market as a
producer of bar or plate iron. The vast
Works on the Clyde are chiefly supplied from
Stafitirdsh ire or this district. The iron-stone
of Yorkshire and Durha.n, in combination
with our invaluable coal, is capable, in the
hands of powerful and skilful parties, of com
peting with any other part of the world in
the very highest branches of manufacture.
It is something to say that the county of Dur
ham has produced the largest plates and tho
longest rails that ever were made. We
hope we are yet only beginning, and that
another seven years may usher in greater
triumphs
