FataiWccidl.nt. We regret to learn that,
cn Sunday a week, a young man named Kcp
Jiart. was killed in Decatur township, by a
tree, which he cut down to procure chestnuts,
Jailing upon hlin. . ' " ' ' '
E. S. Dcxdy, Esq. As our readers are al
ready aware, this gentleman went from here
to Nebraska Torritory about 18 months ago.
A number of his letters have been published
In our paper, and read with much interest.
At the recent election in .Nebraska, he was
a candidate for the Council, which is an oflice
similar to that of our State Senate. He had a
small majority, but the return judges refused
to count the votes of one precinct, 53 in num
ber, on account of some trivial informality,
mid thus gave his opponent a majority' of 9.
Mr. Dundy, at the meeting of the Territorial
Legislature, which convened a few weeks
since, contested the seat, and we are gratified
to loam that it decision was unanimously made
in his favor, and he has accordingly been
worn in. Dundy is a good fellow, has clever
abilities, and will make a good member.
"Long may he wave." ,
The following resolutions were passed at
the Teachers Institute held at Xcw AVash
iTigton a few weeks since : :
Resolved. That it is the duty ol every teach
er to maintain order and obedience, in school,
and it all other means fail : to resort to coi
jioreal punishment. ' .
Resolved, That we recommend tho reading,
ol a chapter, without note or comment, from
the Bible,every morning upon opening school.
Rerohfd, That we deem it tho duty of pa
rents aud directors to visit their school once
a month at leait.
Resolced, That as parents and teachers of
the Common Schools of Clearfield county,
we can look with great pride and satisfaction
upon the condition of our schools under the
able supervision of our worthy and efficient
County Superintendent.
Dk Savtt ami the Cable. There is, says
the Richmond Dispatch, a wise and self res
pecting Englishman, by the name of De S4'ily,
-who has shut himself up in a small box at the
Trinity liny cud of the Atlantic cable, and
will not let anybody come inside. A gentle
inan, who had traveled a long distance to cx
ni'iNo the telegraph ..prodigy, was only per
laittod to rlatlcu liis no so against the windows,
whore ho could see nothing but Do Santy,
holding on with composure and dignity at the
American end of the Atlantic cable. Week
after week, and month after tucnth, there De
Santy sits, a more pntieiit angler than Isaac
Walton ever dreamed of, with his long line iu
hi hand, fishing for electrical indications.
Every once in awhile he gets a bite, and tbco
hoists Lis window and tells "Peter Cooper,"
of N'ew York, that he has just had a glorious
nibble, orcatchts "a small current," as be-all
it, and snds it oil" to the aforesaid Peter
tiv the next express. The cable is a heavy and
taciturn article, but it does not coin pa re in
jionderousness with the dignity of De Santy,
nor even in silence with his majestic reserve.
He is believed to be the wisest Ioikingand
biggest man at this time on the American
continent. It would not be at all surprising if
thr smart fellow bad been all this time re
ceiving intelligence from England, and mo
nopolizing it for the aggrandizement of his
intellect. We insist that the telegraph of
fice shall be opened, and De Santy dissected,
o see whether he has surreptitiously stuffed
himself with wean telegrams, cable currents
and electrical indications.
Tub M lk C-onth acts. The Washing ton cor
respondent of tho New York Titnts, writing
on the 7th hist., says : "The Board of Officers
appointed to investigate the matter of appeal
from the decision ol the Quartermaster at Fort
Leavenworth, relative to the purchase of mules,
hare made a report. Tho Secretary or War
has decided to allow the contractors ten dol
lars per mule additional to the price allowed
previously."
