Me. Editor : I have the satisfaction to
learn that you have opened an educational de
partment in your valuable paper, and cannot
refrain from complimenting you in this very
creditable and important movement. May it
be the means ot infusing new life in the glo
rious cause of education. We live in an age
of improvement, and untiring progression
should be our constant watchword. True, we
have a great many educational paper?, jour
nals, and periodicals; but how very few find
their way to the home ot the needy, especial
ly so in rural life. Then how necessary that
every opportunity should be embraced, and
every means laid hold of to support the best
interest of our happy people. And believing
that a column in our county paper, devoted to
the cause of education, will prove a great aux
iliary in uraking up mind, and iu elevating the
standard of sound education throughout Clear
field county, I therefore cheerfully give it my
unqualified sanction. And now, fellow teach
ers and educationists, our column is open, and
the field of labor before us. A glorious work
is to be performed, and we are to be its per
formers. Delay not "what the hand findeth
to do, do it with thy whole heart." We have
been battling with our antagonist (ignorance)
for some time, many of us for years ; but now
let us go to work with increased ardor and un
tiring zeal, contribute freely and regularly for
our new gift, our highly prized column. It is
very encouraging, when we take into consid
eration the improvement and advancement of
education within the last few years. Educa
tional Societies, Teachers' Institutes, and Nor
mal Schools have been formed in almost every
county. Teachers are materially better qual
ified for the arduous and responsible duties of
the School-Koora. Schools are in a much bet
ter condition, and many in a flourishing state,
yew and commodious houses have been erect
ed in many localities, and furnished according
to improved styles, with black-boards, maps,
charts, and every facility for the snccessful
operations of the teacher; desks and scats
adapted to the wants of our children, so that
tbey may sit at ease, instead of onr old prison
Louses where their feet were forced to dangle
la the air ; and in some localities they are pay
ing considerable attention to school yards,
plowing them up and planting them with
shrubbeiy and flowers, and having nice gravel
or tan walks, so that the pnpi!s may promenade
to and fro, (during hours of recreation,) in
quiring into, and admiring the beauties of na
ture in vegetation ; and by this means the
school is made a delightful spot for the as
icmblagc of onr aspiring youth apl ice of ad
miration and study. In some of our south
eastern counties, they are rapidly ascending
the rugged steeps of the "Hill of Science,"
schools are in a very prosperous condition,
and great attention paid to the cause of edu
cation. In Lancaster City they have attained
fjuite a degree of perfection ; in the public
high school they stuily the languages, gradu
ate, and receive diplomas very creditable,
indeed, to the public school system. Then
why should wo be discouraged ? True, our
county is yet in her inf.mcy, but from her
great and almost endless resources we have
every reason to believe that we can equal, if
not surpass, any of onr sister counties. Then
may we arouse from our lethargy, put our
hands to the work, and keep our educational
ball rolling, and we must, and will succeed.

The Exclish Language. The Dublin Uni
versity Magazine says : "Dictionary English
is something very different not only from com
mon colloquial English, but even from tiiat of
ordinary written composition. Instead of a
bont 40,000 words, there is probably not a sin
gle author in the language from whoso works,
however voluminous, so many as ten thousand
words could be collected. Of the 40,003
words there are certainly many more than
one-half that are only employed, if they are
ever employed at all, on the rarest occasions.
"We should any of ns be surprised to find, if we
counted them, with how small a number of
words we manage to express all that we have
to say, cither with our lips or even with the
pen. Our common literary English probably
hardly amounts to 10,000 words ; our common
spoken English hardly to 5000."
A Word or Advice. We may as well from
the octstart have a fair understanding with
contributors to this column. Use good, black
ins write legibly, on one side of the paper
be pointed and, above all, avoid prolixity and
verbosity. If yon think your production needs
revision, don't send it to us, but get a friend
to criticise it, and then write it out in a shape
that will render it fit to appear in print. An
editor's Ume is precious, and an observance of
these rules, will therefore not only save him
much trouble, but will tend to improve your
style of writing. Ed. JornxAL.
Hall's Journal of Health contains the follow
ing suggestive paragraph, wbich ought to be
remembered and acted upon by every parent
and guardian in the land. The writer says :
"Had I the choice of only fonr things to be
taught my children, they should be : To sing
well, to read well, to write well, and to sketch
well. Perfection in these will earn their pos
sessor a maintenance in any country, and will
enaoie mm to amuse himself or entertain a
company, whether it be under a rock in the
desert or opon a crag in the sea."
Everything is education the train of tho't
yon are indulging this hour ; the society in
which yon will spend the evening ; conversa
tions, walks, and incidents of to morrow.
And so it ought to be. "We may tliank the
world for its infinite means of impression and
excitement wbich keep our faculties awake
and in action, while it is our important ofEc
to preside over that action, and guide it to
some divine result. Johx Fosirs.
fTUIE 5EW YORK TRIBUNE, 1857
8.
JL The Tribune was first issued as a Daily on
the 10th of April, 1S41. Its Weekly edition was
commenced in September of the same y:ar; its
Semi-Weekly in May. 1S45. It was the first daily
in America to issue a double or eight-page sheet at
a low price, and it has kept at least even with the
foremost of its rivals in the rapid expansion of
Newspaper enterprise, which the great extension
of Railroads, and the establishment of the Tele
graph system have crowded into these last sixteen
eventful years, No larger journni is anomea at
so low a Drice in anv ouarter of the world: none
1n America, no matter .at what price issued, pays
an equal amount, weekly or monthly, lor intellec
tual labor. It employs "correspondents regularly
in the leading capitals of Europe, and at the most
important points on this continent, with a liberal
staff of writers and reporters at home, regarding
full, early and accurate information as the first ob
ject of a "Newspaper, and the timely and thorough,
elucidation thereof as the chief end of its Edito
rials. In that spirit, ' The Triouno" has been and
will be conducted. extending and perfecting its
correspondence so fast as the increase of its pa
tronage will justify the expense. Should the cur
rent attempt to connect the Old with the New World
by the magnetic wire prove successful, we shall ve
ry soon, at a heavy cost to ourselves and, we trust,
a'correspondicg advantage to our readers publish
each morning a synopsis of the precceding day's
occurrences throughout Europe. Northern Africa
and Western Asia, with regular reports of the mar
kets, the monetary aspects and harvest prospects
of hither Europe. With a cood atlas beside him
and his daily paper on his fireside table, the A.
merican farmer or artisan within a day's ride of
the city may then study each evening the doings
of the civilized world throughout the day preced
ing ; and it seems hardly possible that any who
can read, but especially one who has children to
educate, will longer deny himself the pleasure and
profit of a daily journal. The same is true mea
surably of those who live further inland : though,
where mails are infrequent, a Semi-Weekly, or e
ven a Weekly, may seem sufficient.
The Tribune deals with questions of Political
Economy, Tublie Policy, Ethics, Material Progress
and whatever may affect the Intellectual. Moral.
Social and Physical well be,ng of mankind, dog
matic Theology alone excepted. Its leading idea
is the honoring of honest useful orK in wnatevcr
sj here or capacity, and the consequent elevation
of the Laboring class in knowledge, virtue and
general esteem. It is necessarily hostile to slave
ry ender all its aspects, to Intemperance in what
ever form or degree with its accessories, to War
save in the defense of Country and Liberty against
actual invasion, and to every form of Gambling.
Desiring to see Production extended and encour
aged, while wild Speculation and useless Traffic
are curtailed, it favor3 the policy of sustaining and
diversifying Home Industry by a discriminating
Taridf a policy which tends to increase the price
of Grain to the farmer while diminishing that of
Bread to the artisan, by reducing the distance a
oniss which their respective products are exchang
ed and, of course, reducing the cost of their trans
fer. Regarding Fillibusterism in all its phases,
and every form and device of National covetous
ness, with unqualified abhorrence as the bane of
Republics and in their triumph the grave of Equal
Human Rights, we seek by every means to woo
and win the attention of our countrymen from pro
jects of aggrandizement abroad to enterprises of
devciepenient and beneficence at home, foremost
among which we rank a Railroad through the
heart ot our territory to connect the waters of the
Atlantic with those of the Pacific. Relieving that
the goods of this life are not yet fairly dirtributed.
and that no one ready to work should ever famish
in unwilling idleness, it lends an open car to eve
ry suggestion of Social improvement which does
r'ot countervail the dictates of eternal Morality
nor war upon that natural right of every one to
whatsoever he has fairly produced or honestly ac
quired, whose denial must sink mankind into the
chaos and night of barbarism and universal squal
or. With a profound consciousness that idlers,
drunkards, libertines and profligates can never be
other (in the main) than needy and wretched, it
bear-? aloft the great truth that Prevention is bet
ter than Punishment that thechild trained up in
the way he should go. will rarely in after years
dsscrt that way for the thorny paths of Vice and
Crime that a'true Education Religious, Moral
and Industrial as well as Intellectual is the most
effective temporal antidote to the errors and woes
of oar race. Recognizing in the most degraded
specimen of Humanity a divine spark which should
be reverently cherished, not ruthlessly trodden
out. wc have charity for all forms of evil but those
which see k personal advantage through the de
basement of our fellow-beings. The champion of
no class or caste, the devotee of no sect, we would
fain be the interpreter to each other of men's bet
ter impuiscs aiid aspirations, the harbinger of
general concord between Labor and Capital, and
among those whom circumstances or misapprehen
sions ha.c thrown into unnatural antagonism. A
extemporary once observed that he never knew a
hard, grasping, niggardly employer who did not
hate -Hie lribune. nor a generous, large-souled,
kindly one, willing to live and let live, who did
not like it. We ask no higher praise, no warmer
attestation
The circulation of The Tribune i3 at this time
as follows : Daily. 32.000 copies: Weekly. 176.800
copies; Semi-Weekly, lo.liOO copies; California
and European, fi. 000 copies; Total. 2U0.SO0 copies.
That of the Semi-Weekly and Weekly we believe
to'be exeeeded by no other newspaper published
in the world ; that of tne Daily falls behind that
of some of our coteruporaries. Had onr hostility
ti Human Siavery and the Liquor Traffic been
more guarded and politic, our Daily issues would
now be some thousands heavier and our Advertis
ing far more lucrative; but of our patronage gen
eral! v wc have no reason, no wish, to complain.
Of late, a concerted effort has been made to di
minish our rural circulation through the influence
of the Postmasters, some of whom embark in it
eagerly, others under political restraint, while a
lr-r -e number, we are happy, for the sake Human
Nature, to state, refuse to be dragooned into it at
all Still, wc have been made to feel the heavy
hand of Power, and have doubtless lost thousands
of subscribers inconsequence. Pretexts to which
no individual in his private capacity would have
stooped have been relied on to justify the stoppage
of our papers within reach of their subscriber and
ritrbtful owners, and their retention in the Post
Ofiice till their value was destroyed. Postmasters
have been schooled by rival journals several of
them living on their self-proclaimed ability to
serve as an antidote to The Tribune as to their
political duty to promote at our expense the dis
semmination of gazettes of adverse politics. We
shall outlive this warfare, but wc do not affect in
difference to it. In the open field of discussion.
we fear nothins; but in the tens of thousands of
rural neighborhoods where the Posru aster can in
duce many of his quiet neighbors to tske the jour
nal he recommends. we hare already lost some pa
trons, and expect to lose more as our subscriptions
for this year expire. We appeal, therefore, to the
hearty, faithful, fearless advocates of Free Labor
and Free Soil throughout the land to take care
that this official warfare on our circulation be not
prosecuted without counteraction. We employ no
travelling agents, for we will not consent to have
the public harrassed with the solicitations of stran
gers in our behalf. We strike the name of each
subscriber to our Weeklv and Semi-Weeklv from
our books as soon as his term has expired, for we
will not haunt our patrons with duns for arrears
which they may say they never intended to incur,
for papers which perhaps they never read ; we re

the volunteered efforts of those who, liking our pa
