Pissstxtasla Comox Schools- The Sa
perintendaai of the Cosmoa Schools of the
State ia his annual report to the Legislature,
shews that there axe 10,956 public schools ia
tlse State, exclusive of the city of Pbitadel
phsx, nhich is under x different superinten
dence. They hav bee a opened, during the
year oa an average v nonths and thirteen
days. The popHs attending these schools j
number 541,248 ; including Philadelphia, the '
number is .30,008. This mniiber is, howev
r, believed to be considerably bfclow the act
ual attendance. lathe State, there are 5,060
wailing for admission into schools, fir want of
adequate school accommodations. In Phila
delphia, LtaneroBs as o-r schools are, there
are, besides, 4,SC3 applicants Trailing for ad
mission. Some townships have neTer put
public schools ia operation at alls and it is be
lieved that there are now in the State 25,752
children not enjoying the pri vilege of common
schools. Including the cost of buildings, the
average cost of instruction is C3 cents for each
pnpil, or about $3 C2 for the Eve months and
a half that the schools are open- The total
cost'of the system, including all expenses,
and including Philadelphia, i3 $2,232,575, or
less than S4 cer Year to each onuil. The to
tal number of teachers employed, is 13,445.
The average salaries of the male teachers per
month, is $24 ; fernala teachers, $16 CO. Ia
the city cf Philadelphia, of course, the salar
ies are mnca higher, for here teaching is a
profession, and not, as is too often the case in
the country, merely adopted for temporary
support. Normal Schools and Teachers' In
stitutes are doing much to elevate tbe standard
of education in the State, and raiding the pro
fession of teacher to an independent and hon
orable position, taking equal rank with other
learned professsions- The Superintendent
pays a high compliment to the school system,
which is acknowledged to be one of the be.
Ia the country, and other States are so much
impressed with its structure and working that
they are endeavoring to shape their policy by
cur example. There is a vast amount of in
formation ia the Report respecting the opera
lions of the school system in each county of
the State, and we are pleased to see that there
Is a better supervision, more time bestowed
cpon the duties, and a gradual and marked im
provement in the organizations and operations
of the schools.
, . LnE&AKT Societies. These Societies are
rot generally appreciated as they should be,
else they would be found in every schooldis
trict tnrouehout the State. They certainly af
ford greater and purer enjoyment than is found
by young men in the manner they occupy their
evenings, and leisure moments, where these
societies do not exist. We say yug men,
but those of matnrer age, and more cultivated
auiads should know
"If thou hast mind, thou hast to spare,
And giving will increase thy share ;
Pu lorth thy thoughts with earnest zeal,
And mike some stubborn spirit feel
The grace, the glory, the delight
That spring from glory aright."
"Women, too, are by no means exempt from
tho debt they owe society. It is a duty we
all owe to each other to contribute what is in
our power towards making life a pleasure, and
how very csetul we all could be even in this
' small matter of a Literary Society, in which
one person ar-pointed by the society each week
would read an interesting essay or give us a
speech on some interesting subject where
each one could propose a question to be refer
red to a member for an answer to be read at
the next meeting where debates could be had
Ac. &c. "We do not know how any one could
spend an evening more pleasantly or more
profitably than at such a meeting. Will not
tbe young people of town and country iLick
seriouly of the advantage and pleasure To be
derived ia this manner, and organize societies
at once ?

TJtf Great Library Ojf'r. Aseni Getting Rich !
The union of EMERSON'S MAGAZINE and
PUTNAM'S MONTHLY has given to the consoli
dated work a circulation second to bet one similar
publication in the country, and has secured for it
a combination of literary and artistic talent prob
ably unrivalled by any other maearine in the.
world. During the first month, the sale in the trade
and demaftid from eubseriber? exceeded 90-000 co
pies, and the numbers already issued of the con
solidated work are universally t-onceded to have
surpassed, in the richness of their literary onRnts,
and the beauty asd prrfaseness of their pictorial
illustrations, any magaxine ever before issued from
the .American press. " Encouraged by these eviden
ces If favor, the publishers have determined to
commence the new volume in January with still
additional attractions, aad to offer such induce
ments to subscribers as cannot fail to place it. in
circulation, at the head of American magazines.
With thiiew they now announce the following
spiendia programme. They have purchased that
superb and eostlv steel-ttlate engraving.
"THE LAST SUPPER,"
and will present a copy of it to every three-doilar
subscriber for the year I1S. It was engraved at
a cost of over 5o.(K, by the late celebrated A. L.
Dick. from the original of Raphael Morghen. after
Leonardo Da Vinci, and is the largest steel-plate
engraving ever executed in this country, being
three times the size of the or Unary S3engravings.
The first impressions of this engraving are held
at $10. and it was the ictenon of the artist that
none of the engravings should ever be offered for
a less sum than S5. being richly worth thai acnoant.
Thus every three-dollar subscriber will receive
the Magazine one year cheap at S3 and this
splendid engraving, richly worth $5 ; thus get
ting for S3 the value of Eiht dollars.
. We shall commence striking off the engravings
immediately, yet it can hardly be expected that
impressions of so large a plate cap be taken as fast
as they will be called for by subscribers. We shall,
therefore, furnish them in the order in which sub
scriptions are received Those who desire to ob
tain their engravings eariy. and from tbe first im
pressions, should send in their subscriptions with
out delay The engraving can be sent on roller,
by iaaiL or in any other manner, as. subscribers
shall order.

Messrs- Ejsersos A Cc Gentlemen: I have tried
the saw-miil purchased of you, and will it that
it performs well, and more than meets my expec
tations. I am welt pleasei with irs performance.
I set it up oa a small stream that afforded constant
water about as thick as my little finger, which wes
much more thsn suSeient to scpplv the boiler.
We are able tocut3.0j0 feet ef beautiful lumber ia
12 hours, with something les than one eord ef
wood. It is the very thin we have seeded in our
county for a Ion- time. With a little rrouble and
expense, we are able to move it from five to tea
miics per day. and set it up in the heart of the
timber, which saves the jcreat burden of hauling
the logs a long distance to the mill.
