Instruct children at home. The teacher will
be greatly assisted and the pupil largely bene
fitted if the latter are instructed at home. Pa
rents should occupy an occasional evening in
enquiring into the progress their children are
making ; should set down with them and ask
them questions from their books, and assist
them to understand and learn their lessons.—
Many.a student huts made greater advancement
at home than at his desk in the school room.
Visit your school. Parents should visit the
school their children are attending; not mealy
at. the close, but occasionally during the tan.,
Thdpiesenee of visitors in the school-room not
only gives confidence to scholars, bat excites
'heir ambition to appear well. It also encour
ages the teacher to put forth his best exertions
.that those under his charge May progress in
their studies. An interest nurtured in this
way operates in a highly beneficial itjiinner
upon schools, giving them character, system
and prosperity. We cannot dismiss this sub
ject without urging parents to take a greater
interest is their district schools ; to sustain
their teachers : to look more closely after the
education of their children, that the advantages
and benefits of a well conducted school may
not be lost to them.

The holiday season is at hand. Next Tues
day is Christmas. May its presence bring joy
and gladness to the homes and hearts of all our
readers. May they, on this day consecrate to
Him, who brought " Peace on earth and g 00d
to mot," and their lives, have their kindly
sympathies drawn out towards each other.
May their hearts throb with benevolent affec
tion fur the whore brotherhood of man. The
annual return of this day is ever hailed' with
gladness in the humble cot, as well as in the
abodes of the wealthy. Its holy associations
seem to lull to rest every grosser feeling o r i our
nature, and awaken those pure sympathies
which bind us together in bonds of Chriit
ian love and fellowship. At this happy season
the social feelings have uncontrolled sway ; the
fmnily gatherings, the merry meetings, the
interchange of presents, all contribute to make
it, of all others, - -the most delightful and joy
ous. Reader, we tender you the compliments of
the seoson--we wish you a merry Christmas.
We thank you for the interest you have taken
in the prosperity of oar paper, and for the out
terial aid with which you assisted - 11 at
anytime we have failed in our elthrts to satisfy
your expectations, we hope that on an oc,iasiun
like the pi esent, you will cast over our failings!
the mantle of chat ity. We have done what
we could, and hope to do better. Continue to
give us a hdping hand, and we will nol be un
mindful of your kindness.
The present year tvill have passed away, and
the will have entered on another before our pa

wish you a "Happy Noe Year." The year 1535
will seon have passed into oblivien. Tts o d •

By the late census report, says the Eastonian,
it will be Rem that Pennsylvania manufactures '
about -one half of all the Pig Iron manufactured
in the United States. The total amount of
Capital invested in all the States, in the inanu•
facture of Pig Iron, is $17,346,425. Of this
sum there is invested in Pennsylvania $8,570,-
425. The number of tons of ore used in all
the States is 1,579,309, and of this Pennsylva
nia uses 877,283. The amount of Mineral
Coal used in all the States in the manufacture
of Pig Iron is 635,242 tons, and of this yenn
sylvania uses 316,060. Coke and charcoal
used in all the States in said manufacture, 54,-
165,236 'bushels. In Pennsylvania, 28,505,-
186. Value of raw material, fuel. &c., used in
said manufacture, in all the States, $7,005,280.
--In Pennsylvania $3,732.427. Number of
hands employed iwsaid manufacture in all the
States 201290, and of this number in Penn
sylvania, 9.285. Entire wages paid for said
manufacture in all the States, per month, $421,-
435, and of this sum in Pennsylvania, $201,038.
Tons of Pig Iron made in all the States, 564,-
755, and of this amount in Pennsylvania, 285,-
952. Value of entire products of pig iron, in
all the States, $12.748,777. and of this in Penn
sylvania, 86,071,513. By this statement it
will be seen that Pennsylvania does about half
as much in the manufacture of pig iron as all
the other States of the Union combined.
The value of the entire product of Castings
in the United States, is $25,108.155. Of this
sum the value of the products of Pennsylvania.
is 55,354 881 and that of New York. $5,921,-
880. The number of hands employed in the
manufacture of castings in all the States, is 23,-
541, and of this-number Pennsylvania employs
4,782, and New York, 5,825. Pennsylvania
and New York, each contain the same number
1 of square miles of territory, to wit, 40.000.
The population of New York is greater than
any other State of the Union, being 3,097,394.
That of Pennsylvania is 2.311,780.
The entire capital invested in the various
manufactures in the United States, on the Ist
of June, 1850—not to include auy establish

being over a hundred more than in any other ,

and lea numbers in the other States. The
whole number of IVromdit Iron estahli , liments
in the United States was 122. (If this number
1.11 were in Pennsylvania, 0u in New York,
and a less number in each of the other States.
The whole amount of capital invested in I.
Wromzlit iron manufactories in the United
S ate;. is $14,495.220. and of this there is in
vtsted in Pennsylvania, 7.020.060. or more

of the wrought iron of Pennsylvania is more
than one-half, to wit, 8,901.907.
From the above statement it will be seen
that a large amount of Pennsylvania capital is
invested in the iron business ; that she produ
ces one-half of the pig and wrought iron made
in the entire rnion ; that the number of her
cotton and woolen manufactories is now large;
and that in the production of castings she is!
only second to 'New York.
In 'addition to this we may add, that while

Dean:moo of Immigration
It is estimated, by 'persons familiar with the
rate of immigration, says the " New York
Times," that if the average be no greater the
next six months than the past, there will be a
falling off in 1850 of some 150,000 dr 180,000
in the number of foreigners arriving on our
shores. This is a weighty fact, and deserves
careful consideration from those who, in busi
ness or morals, are speculating on the future of
our country. Probably 80,000 of those who
stay at home arc Germans : the rest of the de
ficit is made up almost entirely of Irish. If
each of these r.:mmigrants had consumed or
spout $4 in New-York as he passed through, it

port of Specie into the country by about thirteen
and a half millions of dollars ; looney which is
not even an exchange, but is so roach clear ad

sume our products ; they rent our houses, they
wear our clothes, they eat our corn, and wheat,
and rye : our beef, and mutton, end fish : they
buy our timber and brick, and iron and coal :
they read our books and papers and magazines.
Setting down the average cost of living as 52 a
week to each man, and woman and child—
which would be a low-estimate—and supposing
that they, at least, earn all they consume by their
labor, we have a loss next year to the producers
of the country—to the farmers, the grocers, the
builders, the clothiers, the house-owners, the
brick makersand coahniners, the editors and
booksellers, of seventeen millions of s.

loss next year to the country, in this decrease
of immigration, of over Mr! y mrll ons

value in Ono more rippa'rent wealth. People do'
