Msau 't arrosiliea ol the Common School Reports I The annual reports of the School Snporin tettilents-for the year ending June 1886 have been received and present much interesting matter lor reflection. The most tronbie seems to exist it* Bradford coui.tyy and the most op position came from Ikera last winter. The -| Bucks county report contains the fo'lowing . | passages: I "An exposition of the condition of a few J schools, as extracted from ray 'note book,' will give us just a view ol them as can be obtained ; and by exposing the defects ,of , some and showing the goodness of others, may cause the plans of operation in the for mer to he shuntied and those of lite latter 'o , be adopted. ] " In one school where I had drawn a map of Pennsylvania on the blackboard, the same , .Ingram had rrmuined for a year, the board never having been used in the iterim. "In another not a scholar in the school | ( could tell me in what country he lived, and , ( when 1 held up Ilolbrook's five inch globe, . the oceans on which were painted blue, and ( asked what il was, a large boy, at lest 17 ( years of age, replied, 'a bird's pgg!' ( j "At one school, where I called, the teach- £ or came to die door; il was storming severe- ( ; ly ; without any salutation or token of rocog- # union, he hastily withdrew, and by the time j my horse was lied and blanketed, and my I j, ' school apparatus placed in the door-way, he q had roughly sketched a map of his own Slate | g i on each ol the two bluck-boards, which the directors had rpeonlly procured for him.— ] j- Divesting myself of my wet hat and over- g coat, I stepped *o imp ol tl*i boards, and ex . pressing tny pleasuro at the interest thus j g munifesied iu the study of geography, com- i men cod pointing out with a ruler the bound- j attes-iuui rivers, inquiring of the scholars al the same lime what tliey were. I was una- < ' ble to gel a single answer (rom any of them, ) because this was their first "drill." They j " interchanged sly looks with each other, as " much aa to ray, 'our loxish teacher has been i * holed this time.' "At the tune of my visit to another school, | with eight good windows in the room, three i of thorn only had the shutters open. The | • mephiiio atmosphere was very oppressive uinl oflensive ; but il was not long before the sashes of nil vote raised and a free circula- l ' l tio.i of pure air admitted. Although tilts was Ih< lute in ihe summer, the house had not been Ul whitewashed this season, nor the desks, seats 01 mat llonrs scrubbed and cleaned. The room 111 might be 'airly chniacterixod its fill hy and j Sl unhealthy, and but little wonder need be ex- lb pressed that a child compos menltt, should be, ! u; as was here the case, twelve months learn- ; iv ing its letters! This teacher asked me if I q> thought I'm schools throughout the county ! were any better than before the County Sit- j permtendenoy. Judging from things about jo htm. the question was natural enough. 1 '•Soon alter this 1 visited another of an up- 1 rorious charoc'er There were several tn/mb j; here who were not chl enough, according to > tl law. to bo admitted. The teacher said she r had been informed by a director that the po- | v rrnlr of these babies would pay bet tor t- 1 king care oi them, and very artlessly inquir- ! t od ol me irfnil flu ongkl fa cfiergr! Of late . I years, not having been much accustomed to ' nursing, I was unable to fix the rate, and ( surprised hr very much by informing her slip had no business to have thetn in school at aIL" j Tlie following case from Monroe rountc is much like some we could give of Columbia , il it would do any good ; and illustrates whit ( kind ot men taught ictools belors exaratna- j ttons were required— •There was one man who came to me, who was wiser than all the rest, with a leach- , er for examination. 'Here.' said he, is a , schoolmaster I want you to inspect; he is goixl enough to teach our schools; I have been a sclioul director lor loutteen years and have hired all the teachers. M e don't want any law . we dont want you to visit our dis trie. ; we get this man chap for ten dollars and board : give him a certificate so he can get his money I then addressed the teacher and tried to make mvself sociable. I wished to know where his native place was. '1 don't • know.' I e answered. His Iriend told htm 1 only wanted to know where he lived when he was at home.' '0! 1 said he, 'I live in Bus' kill township, Northampton county."— ■How are vour best scholars advanced in j , ...ati-.c ' 'A(.--1 three mile*.' said Mr. Pedagogue.

It is unquestionably (rue tbet the President elect ought to come into office absolutely un iramroeled by party dictation, either North or South; and we shall f)e the last to infringe in any wise upon bis just and clear preroga tive. He has been declared to be the Presi dent of the whole country, and doubtless he will enter in good fait) upon the discharge of the duties of hie position, with a wise regard to the \vellaro of the whole country. For ourselves, we should prefer that, in Ihe selection of the heads of department, the President shall be let alone toaalect his own men. As he will be held responsible for the conduct of the administration, into whose hands soever the chief subordinate offices may fall, it is but just that in Ihe choice of workmen he should be without trammel or hinderance. Of course, we all have our preferences, and ' in most cases, we darn say these preferences ' are based uron an accurate knowledge of the men, and proper confidence in the tact that they will oatry out the measures which the election of Mr. Buchanan was designed to secure. But it will require no extraordinary charily to believe that others too are equally trustworthy, and equally competent with our own, and will do as much to advance the true welfare of the conntry, by fearlessly ad hering to the wise ar.d wholosomo features of public policy, the triumph of which was secured by the receht election. And whether Mr. Buchanan shall choose his colaboreleurs from tho North or the South, Irorn Virginia or New York, is and ought to be n matter of so, II concern, it he shall choose wise, worthy and faithful men. I!d will do litis, lot croakers say what they may. If no higher motive prompted it, a politic regard for the success ol his adminis tration will euaure snclt a course. We have no fears, then, that the chief offices will lull into the hands of unworthy men, or that we shall have any need for crimination or com plaint when tho names ol the chosen ones are unr-ounced. We have again and again set lorlh in sub ataoce what we now say, and are delermiued, let the President do as lie may in the selec tion of a Cabinet, to delend whatever of wis dom there shall bo (ound in his policy at home or abroad. Were Mr. lhichanan an unknown mail, there might possibly be some occasion for anxiety as to bis men and meas ures, but wiiit a veteran officer, so able and so distinguished, at the helm, who can doubt that even in the present crisia, he will guide us safely and surely through the perila that may encompass our course I— Richmond En quirer.

CP" We clip the above paragraph from the ! last issue of the Record, and give it to our i readers as a specimen of the consistency which characterizes the editor of that sheet. What a change has come over the spirit of his dreams! When Mr. Steele was before the people as a candidate for the reponsible position he now adorns, this same editor who now extols him to the skies, was at a loss to find language severe enough to rem his political spleen against htm. He kept his rickety old Power Press in motion day and night, and Sunday too, printing hand bills in which Mr. Steele was posted through out all parts of the county as being one ol the vilest political sinners. No falsehoods nor slanders were too daring to be circula ted about him : no intrigues were too base and dishonorable to be concocted, in order to prevent his election ; the flames of perse cution burned most furiously around him ; his personal and political character was shamefully tualigreJ; nJ every epithet which the language ccald luniish, was heap ed upen his devoted head, by this same edi tor who now professes to have so much re speet lot hira. He was accu-eJ of be'orglug to the Know-Notbing?—of being a "trading politician"—of securing his nomination by unfair means—and denounced as being ut terly -'unfit to represent Luzerne County in the State Senate All this, and a great deal more wss published against Mr. Steele, by the immaculate, consistent editor of the Record. who HOW considers "him the most able representative of I.uzerne at Harris bars. — Luztme Union.

On last Thursday night Deputy United States Marshall Jenkins, nnd officer Samuel Johnson, succeeded in securing at a houso in Luzerne county, about twelve miles trom Wilkes-Bsrre, the steel plate from which the new oountetleil ten dollar bills on the (Jirard Batik were printed. The press atul mate rials had disappeared ; but the officers se cured the plate. Messrs. Jenkins nnd John son have rendered the public good service in getting ont of the hands of rogues ihe means by which this dangerous counterfeit I was gotten up. The plate which was hand i ed ovet to the officers ol the bank, was ad mirably executed, anJ the whole of the ras cally work was in skilful hands, as the sig natures and the filling up were copied from the genuine notes with perfect precision. A i Urge quantity of this spurious paper is in ; circulation, nnd the public should keep a j ; sharp look out lor it. Less than two weeks , ago-the dangerous counterfeit made its first appearance, and the plate is already in the | hands of the bank. We repeat that the ofii- I cers who secured the plate have rendered an essential service to the community.— | I'At.'a. lxtlger. Au Editor Assaulted. There is great excitement iu Middletown, Connecticut, iu consequence of a severe chastisement inflicted by Capl. De Kay, of i New York, on the person of Walter S. Car ! ter, editor of the Middlesex Argus. It ap pears that Carter sent t copy of his paper to i'rolessor Harwood, of Berkley Divinity School, which the Professor returned with a : note slating that he was not a subscriber, and requesting the discontinuance of the pa ' per. On receipt of this note, Carter pub lished a severe article, it is said, reflecting in I harsh tetms on Harwood and his family.— ! Copt. De Kay, who is Harwood's brother-in law, subsequently met Carter in a bookstore, ' and on the latter acknowledging that he was 1 the author of the article, assaulted and beat : him so terribly that he lies in a very critical situation. De Kay was arrested, and the ex citement was ao great that it was found ne cessary to detail a strong police force to pro ! tect him trom violence. Kvery lawyer in town has refused to defend him, and lynch ing is publicly talked of. We bave not seen i the article which caused the assault; but ' if its character was such as represented, re flecting on the Professor's family simply be ' cause he returned a paper, Carter is not fit ' to conduct a public journal, and deserved a ' pretty good cowhiding. He abused the lib erty of the press, and had he been only modarately chastised, his case woulJ call for no sympathy.— HorrisMirg P.striot and Union. CSRSS or BROCKS' DEATH—A New York physician writes the Courier and Enguirtr. that Mr. Brooks cook! not bate died with the ! croup, but roast base died from a spasm of the epiglottis, which is simply a valve that closes the passage to the lungs when we swallow food or fluids. Slight congestions of this little valve often take place in colds, and produce coogb, with altered voice, and if the congestion extend to the mosclet of this valve, it will fall opon its own orifice and suffocation er.soe. The remedy is al ways at hand. The patient mar place his thumb on one side of the trachea or wind ' pipe, and hie finger on the other side, a small inch below the angle of the jaw, ; squeeze tightly , and posh directly upwards I towards the tongue ; aud the motion, with [ the pressure on the muscles, will immedi ! ateiy raise the valve to its perpendicular po : stlion, and breathing is restored—hold it a ! few minutes till the valve recovers he tone I and the patient wiil be out of danger. 17* Some years ago, s woman was killed on the Madison Railroad, nod a roan with ber, who claimed to be the husband, receiv ed 51000 damages. Subsequently, the Com pany ascertained She was not his wife, the man in the courts of Kestacky, and re covered the amonat of the award and interest and what is better, have received the amount, 1 lew the lawyer s fee CHINA. The details o! the China news eonflrin the telegraphic accounts. The factoriea were horned by the Chinese, the flames bursting out simultaneously in all directions. All at* temps by the seamen and matinee to stop the fire were fruitless. It raged all night and up to the hour of the steamer s departure. Dant & Co's. premises were the first to go, followed by the whole Psosbung-Houg. The Imperial and, indeed, all the Hongs, are de stroyed. The only houses unlooehed when the steamer left were those of the British Consu late, Augustine Heald, H. Jardine, Maths son & Co's., Turner & Co's , one or two in the English Hong, Ruasel & Co., in the Swe dish Hong, snd Wstmore & Co., in the Im perial Hong, but it was doubtful whether they would ultimately escape. The Ayre,Oriental, and Mercantile Roeulc* were on fire, and no hopes were entertained of saving them. Admiral Seymour withdrew hi* man into the garden 5 the only refuge left for for eigners. The Admiral'e future steps wore unknown. There waa but little doubt, however, thai Canton would no longer be spared, tho dis charge of shells and rockets having already commenced. The London Timts' Hong Kong correspon dence, dated Dec. 15, says: Ou the 15tb of November, Captain Fote of (he U. S. ship Portsmouth, was on the way from Wbampoa to Canton in Ilia ship's pinnace, for the pur pose of withdrawing the American marines stationed in the foreign factories, when, in passing the Barrier Forts, tho boat was fired into by the Chinese and was obliged to put 1 back to Whampoa, notwithstanding that the ' American flag waa flying at the time, and was also waved from Ihe boat ao that there might be no mistake. The American men- j of-war, Portsmouth and Levant, moved up 1 the river and bombarJed Ihe Forta, which j the Chinese defended btavely, replying with a well directed fire, killing two man and wounding others, and doing some damage to lite vessels. Commodore Armstrong then : wrote to the Viceroy demanding nn apology within 24 hours. The reply being unaatis- j factory, the Americans at once proceeded to 1 take the forts, which they have since do st toyed. In this service several lives were lost.— Since this took place, Yell has written to the American authorities to say thst their flag shall be respected, and that it was entirely a mistake that led to the misunderstanding - There are yet two small points at issue, but we undetttand that the Americans will ac cept this apology and withdraw from Canton. The Plenipotentiaries and Naval Comman ders iu-Cliief of Great Britain and America, have held a conference on Canton, but theia have been no results of importance arrived at. The China Mail of tho 11th, says that the American* met with a fatal accident in com pleting the destruction of the Barrier Forts. One of the mines exploded through the care lessness o r a teaman, killing him and two of I his shipmates, and wounding six others. The Portsmouth and Levant had returned to Whampoa. A despatch says the French had destroyed some forts. From Havana-'-Arrival ol the Isabel- CHARLESTON— Tho steamship Isabel arri ved to-day, bringing dates from Havana and Key West to the tOth inst. Among her pas sengers is M. Marotzek and his opera troupe. The British ship Crown had gone to pieces. The news from Havana is unimportant. A telegraph company had been formed to lay a cable to Key West. A letter from Carthagena says that the British will not carry the blockade into ef fect ur.til the action ot Congress is known. Dr. Kane's health was much improved. The steamship Empire City arrived at Ha vana on the 6th. Sugar was active. Molasses was dull, with small receipts. SOMETHING SENSIBLE.— The following itetn of sensible advice is taken from Hairs Jour nal of Health, and we think it not out of place to insert it here: "Dress children warmly, woolen flsnnel next their person during the whole year. By every consideration protect the extremities well. It is an ignorant barbarism allows a child to have bare arms, and legs, and feet, in summer. The circulation should be in vited to the extremities: warmth does that; cold repels it. It is it tbe bands and feet ue begin to die. Those who have cold ; hands and feet are never well. Plenty ot warmth, plenty ol substantial food and ripe ; fruits, and plenty of joyous out-door exer cise, would save millions of children an- I nuaily." Ten Dollar Counterfeit. A ten collar counterfeit bill on the Girard I Bank of Pbiladtlphia is in circulation. The . new note is calculated to deceive, and yet 1 its spurious character is easily detected.: It is fainter in appearance than tbe genuine note, has the same vignette and medallions; j but in the genuine there are strong white lines passing through the engiavings which | are not to be peceived, or but faintly in the ' counterfeit. Ths most distinctive difference I it however, in the lines or while spaces ; above and beneath the portrait of Girard— These lines in the counterfeit are doable the | width of the genuine. By laying tha Iwo ! notes together so that the litres will meet, the i difference is at once perceptible. The coun terfeit is of tbe letter B. No more ten dollar fc.lis on tbe old rials wHI be "issued by the ; bank. POPULATION or MISSOURI— A census of tbe Stale of Missooff, which has just been taken, , shows a total of 912.206, divided as follows: Free whites 819,593; free blacks 2,652; i slaves 69,590. Increase of while population in six years 224,453, or over 28 per cent: increase of slaves 1,823, or a fraction over Itwo per cent. Two counties return no slaves: twenty counties report only 1,000 ; tbe highest reaching only 96, and the lowest l having . There were Giants If any of our reader* have had doubts as to Ihe exii'.er.ce of giants In former times, let them read the following, and believe: "A correspondent of the Emporium writing from Clevea, Ohio, says: A lew dtya ago, while Wat Eckman and Mike Shota were digging a well for dames Malson, Esq., near North Band, Ohio, the skeleton of a man, or rather a giant, was found, twenty-nine feet below the surfare of the earth—who, when living, towered to the enormous height of twenty-three feet and ten inches. Prof. Lind, who exatntnaad the skald'on, says: "The os-liuraerous of the skeleton meas ured six feet four and a half inches, and the superior condyle, where it enters the glenoid cavity of the scapula, measured eighteen and three eighths inches in diameter." Hence, says the Doctor, "admitting the proposition demonstrated by tomparativ* anatomy, that all muscular power depends on the magni tude of the arlioolalirg condyles of the limbs to which they are attached, we must arrive at tbe startling fact, that this monster man while in the full vigor of life, was twenty thrae feat and ten inches high, and waa ca pable of wielding the lorearm With sufficient force to here thrown a cannon ball weigh ing 18 lbs. from Cincinnati to Indianapolis, or s distance of 88 miles, or to have taken a large millstone in each hand, and walked with perfeet ease at the astounding rate ot thirty-seven and one-eighth miles on hour. Whar's Samson and Gollith of Oath now T How tiir Cikrman Lames Do.—The Indies of Germany have an odd way, too, of keep ing their skirts from under their feet. They put a belt—often u plain, leather strap about the hips,an inch or two below the waist, end draw the dress up a litil*. The strap holds it. If a lady ia going out on :he dirty street in bad weather, ten to one you will sos her produce from a pocket tho invariable old leather strap, catch up he' garments just out of the reaclt of the mud, snd lasten them so. By this contrivance her hands are left at lib erty, and her clothes protected. TV There is a thrifty, well grown shoat, said to be about six months old, belonging to J. Salmon, of Patrick oounty, Vs., which has eight fair, distinct leel, on which it walks. Its legs seem to commence a fork about the knee joint*, and continue to widen until they near the feci, and ihenTtnally sep arate. The hog walks well, only a little clumsy. A Deserter vrom Mobmonism. —ElJer Johr. Hyde, who was sent some time ago Irom Utah as a missionary to the Sandwich Islands, has renounced the Mormon faith, and is engtged in exposing its fallacies, lid states that the census of the inhabitants of tbe Territory of Utah is false and exaggera ted, exceed tig, by fifty per cent., the actual population. HoUOWiT* OINTMKNT AND PILI.". The sudden changes of temperature in litis cli mate have a terrible effect upon the skin, the muscle> and the glands. Hence the prevalence of salt rheum, erysipelas, blotch es, boils, rheumahsm, quinsy sore throat, and the many other complaints so frequently generated and always aggravated by this cause. Fortunately, in Hollotvay's Ointment tNahsvo the means of promptly removing this class of diseases, and of so thoroughly invigorating sll the exterior organs and in teguments as to prevent their recurrence.— The Fills operating in harmony with the ointment, regulate the secretions, and dis charge from the fluids of the body any acrid matter calculated to produce external inflam mation or internal disease. \VIIITK TEETH, PERFUMED BREATH AND BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION— can be ac quired by using the "Balm of it Thousand Flowers."
