THE HEIEISSIN JECPAEDT. It was one Jay when I was about seven years old, after the unusual bustle in the family uiunsiuu, and iny being arrayed in a Lack, truck, much to my inconvenience in ilit-hot mouth of August, that I was told my enthu-ia-tic old uncle had gone like a Iamb, and that I was the heiress to ten tlit,j;inJ ,er annum.

Nothing positively nothing." "Uut-why? Can seeing her again and again," he returned, "ever reconcile me to her manners, habits, and sentiments or any estates induce me to place at the head of my table, a hump backed blue stocking, in green spectacles. " "Hump-backed?" ' Yes, from her cradle. I5ut you color. lo you know her?" ' Intimately. She's my most particular friend!" '"I sincerely beg your pardon. I hope you'r not offended?" ''Offended? oh, no, not offended. Hump backed, of all things iu the world!" And I involuntarily gave a glance towards the! glass. "I had no conception," he continued, as soon as he could collect himself, "that there was any acquaintance." 'The most intimate," I repl'ed, "and I can as.-ure you thatiun have been represent ed to her. as the most awkward, illdisposed young man living." 'The devil!" "J'ou't swear, but hear nie.

After hems and Laws innumera ble, and with confusion the most distressing to himself, and the most aiiiiisin lo me, he gave me to un ierstand that be could not fulhi the eugaiiient made for him, and re gretted it had ever been contemplated. "No -no," said I, in a voice that made him start, taking off my green spectacles with a profound, courtesy "No, no, it is prepos terous to -Hippose that Sir E Igar Yavasour would ever connect himself with an ill bred, awkward, hump-backed girl!" Exc'ama turns and explanations, laughter and railcr ics, intermixed with more serious leelings, followed, but the result of it all Was that that we are married. Sidewalk Etiquette. An exchange says : O.i'y villagers, or per sons with rural ideas, any larger contend that ladies should always be , tue inst !e of the pavement, in passing. The rule adopt- j ed in all cities is to turn ro the right, whet h er the right leads to the wall or to the gut ter ; and an observance of this common sense rule would obviate much "scrouging" by over gallant gentlemen who persistently Tbe common rule in such cases, is tins : If men and women are walksng together, she should always be at his right arm, whether it be towards the inside or outside of the walk; then the lady will not he shoved against the passers by. Those who giggle at those who follow this rede are themselves "greenies," and should read the "book ot manners" before they indulge in the laugh of fashionable dunces. A landlord at Portland, Me., ly the name of Cram, has his name on the plates used at his table. A bulky, though evidently hungry, individual, after waiting impatient ly at the dinner table, the other day, for the raising of the "Livers," after soup, cas; his eyes upon his plate and exclaimed, with a drawling growl, ' Cram! Well, jest bring along yer vittles, and see if I don't do it." A roar of laughter followed from the guests. A bath bhould never be taken on a full stomach. Nothing is more beneficial to health in warm weather than frequent bath ing, at proper times, anl nothing more dan cerous when indulged in at improper times. Early m ir:iing bathers should eat a piece -f bread or biscuit before plunging into cold water, and an interval of thiee hours should always elapse after meals before indulging in a Lath. It is best to keep your secrets to yourself ; you may then feel sure they are yours, and that you are not arousing the jealousy of others or creating fears in your own mind that others know bow to wrong you. Eeport of the County Superintendent. EDLCATfONAL PltoattESS IN THE COUNTY. Atc house. Five new houses were erect ed during the year. One in Boggs, one in Brady, one in l'enn,and one in Curwensville. I h"-.se buildings take the places ot old onesj and have beeu built with a view to durabil ity and commodiousness. In respect to size, urounds.turniture and general arrangement, are the best in their respective districts! The old idea that any building, irn spective of location, is a proper place for training the young idea how to "shoot," is ranidly van ishing. The house erected at CnrWensvjlle is decidedly a model building for others to copy after. All these new houses.however, are a credit to the directors of their respec tive districts. Two elegant houses were erected in Brady, not mentioned in the pre viou ; year. Gradeil Schm-h. In addition to the gra ded schools of Clearfield and Curwensville borouyhs before reported, the schools in Os ceola have been graded. There are a few other places that could advantageously have graded schools such as Luthersburg and Lumber City borough. The advantages de rived from graded schools, if properh con dueled, are o plausible that I deem" it un necessary to enumerate them. Utilises. Whole number, one hundred and fifty ; containing one hundred am' fifty four schools. It affords us great pleasu. e to note that many of the old ones, during the past year, have been remodeled, and in near ly every instance made comfortable. A few of our schools have been kept open seven mouths, some six, others five; 'much the la-gest number, however, onlv t.h, iwn-.l term of four months. furniture m l Ajip'tratiis. Of the one hundred and fifty schools, eighty-five are well supplied with good furniture, thirty one have an insufficiency, and thirty-three injurious. A large majority of those in the second class could fie well supplied at very little expense. Those in the third class re quire new building. The blackboard surface in many of the districts has been greatly im proved, either by remodeling the old ones or substituting new ones. It is earnestly hoped that yet greater improvement will be made in that direction the coming tali. Text B')ttLi. A uniform series of hooks have been adopted in all the districtsexcept four. The Use of them should be strictly re quired. Teachers .should at the beiriiming of the term receive a list from the directors of the books to be used. Last fall a com mittee appointed for that purpose recom mended a series for the comity, and had it been strictly carried into effect, we have no doubt it would have proven satisfactory, and much good would have resulted therefrom. Out Oiu'fifiiies are badly needed in many places. 1 have taken the liberty.in a few instances, to impress upon directors the tie cessityand propriety of erecting such build ings,especiaily where there are school houses m ar villages. orjhyv.ni.tix-.iyjtJiout. liUJV Hie iiut ten houses with the necessary out buildings, leaving one hundred and forty without. This is a fact w ; are pained to n i ice. for it shows an oversight which is hardly excusable. fjintlitic'itiiiiis i if Tettcherx. We have no more gratifying evidence of progress than tlu earnest endeavors of a large portion of teachers to better qualify themselves for their high positions. With but lew excep tions, our teachers are young, but with their earnestness and zeal they may soon rank as first-class teachers. We are yet encumber ed with a few unworthy ones, who have nei ther the qualifications nor tact for teaching. Such arc generally found among the absen tees at public examinations or places for imi'tovi-iiient. TiucIk'is Siifarics. The salaries of teach ers are about the same as last year. While some districts raised the salary, others re duced it. We noticed in a few instances the best qualified teacherl ceived the highest salaries. This is a step in the right direc tion, and v.e trust other directors will follow the plan. So loiigas poorly educated teach- .1 1 .1 L - ei's receive tin: same salary as tnose wno have expended time and means towards bet ter preparing themselves, we must expect the schools filled with poorly qualified It ach ers.and the energetic seekim: districts where thev receive be: ter encouragement. Visits of Directors. In looking over the records of the two past years, I find that more visits have been made by directors du ring the past year than in the former one, thus showing an increased interest in edu cation of this county. In a nmnhcrnf dis tricts the Secretary has been employed as a local superintendent, to visit the schools. on. e or twice a month, which has resulted iu good. In oil ers they go as a bo ly. or a number of houses are assigned to each to vi-it. I find the visitation of directors has a salutary effect. (Si n rru I In frrest Ma n ifistrtl in EJ tca timu The in'ere-t manifested generally. not only by the directors, but by t lie citizens, is of the most encouraging character. The friends of education having observed the progress in teaching, for the past two years, in this county, are ready to assist in every way to wards advancing this noble profession. It is true of tnis county, as well as of others, I presume, that if has its "cioakers," who are opposed not only to the progress of the school system, but to everything that has for its object the welfare of society. I am happy to say, however, that this class of men is growing beautifully less as the stand ard ot teaching advances. I consider it due to the directors to state here, that as a gen eral rule, they are honest and energeticand by thuir untiring zeal the prosperity of the schools in their respective districts has been in a great measure promoted. Many of the directors de-erve grea' credit for the praiseworthy efforts they put forth in the discharge of their onerous but thankless du ties. Another promising indication of a growing interest in education is the intro duction of several select schools in various parts of the county. These schools are gene-ally conducted by experienced and compe tent teachers where many of those who de sire to become teachers may receive the proper instruction. EDUCATIONAL WORK DONE BY SUPERIN TENDENT. flramiiiatiniis. Twenty-two public and ek'ht private examinations were held. One hundred and fifty one provisional certificates issued, one professional, (to Thomas II. M urray.cso..) sis endorsed from other conn ties, and eight applicants rejected. Much interest was evinced by teachers, directors, ami spec'ators. during the entire examina tions. The directors, or a part of them, were present at all the examinations, which was gratifving as well as beneficial ; as the Voard could readily select the teachers best suited for their respect ve schools. One hundred and seventy-eight visits to schools, nn average of three hours each ; 279 official letters written; 1,'718 miles traveled on offi cial duty ; taught a five months' Normal School, an average of eight hours per day ; and was engaged officially during the year, 2J5 days. I leave it to the jteople to judge whether I have performed my duly or notT I 'isilationx. All the sellouts that were in operation while 1 was in the districts were visited. and a few a second time. One hun dred and four visits made in the presence of directors. In three instances they became so interested, that they accompani d me to the adjoining districts. 1 was also accom panied by many of the citizens. Visits by the County Superintendent are no longer dreaded by the pupils. On many occasions we have been told by the parents.that their children were desirous of being present at the time of our visits. I commenced the visitation of schools immediately after the 1st of November, (jhe close ot the public examinations,) and continued it until the middle of March. The course pursued was nearly the same as the pievious winter. Having been treated with great kindness and ' generosity all over the county, by di rectors, citizens and teachers, I deem this a fit time and opportunity to return my sin cere thanks for the tnauy favors received at their hands. Institute. A Colintynstitute was held at Cnrwensvillo during the last week of Sep tember. The exercises consisted of class drills, essays, discussions and lectures. The institute was the largest, ever heid iu the county, and I think much good was aceotu p is bed. . formal School. The) Normal" School in Curweaisville. mentioned in my last report. continued until the 1st ot October. 1 again opened one in Clearfield borough, on May 1 Ith, to continue for eleven weeks. Ah hough met with considerable opposition, by a clique, and hence was compti ed to labor under many disadvautages,tiie School nevertheless proved a perfect success.' Fifty-three siu dents were present, forty-six of whom pur pose teaching the coming winter. I was again assisted by Prof. L S. Cieist. of Ma rietta, who was earnest in the discharge ol his duties, and thereby not only gained the gooi will of the teachers, but made many friends throughout the county. EDUCATIONAL WORK DONE BY OTHEIt AGENCIES. In addition to the Clearfield Academy which is iu a flourishing condition, under the direction of Prof. P. L Harrison -there is now established in Clearfield borough a first class Ladies' School, under the control of Miss llattie Swan, who has very tew supe riors in the profession. . Many select schools are also springing up all over the county. All these educational means will, sooner or later, assist, in the preparation of teachers. By sich aids much good will, I hope, be accomplished. 'ujiit. The elersymenhave said and done more in favor of the common schools than formerly, yet not so much as they should have done. No class of men should be more interested in the spread of intelligence among the masses; for the lalrs of clergymen are the atn'oun? orttitfnng7r5i-.rriieirTniniiiiir- nity ; hence, if they are alive to t heir own interests they will, at lea-t, give two educa tional lectures from their respective pulpits each year, and thereby exert an influence in behalf of in;elli 'cuee and assist in dispel ling ignorance. J'ress. The general tone of the press is friendly to the caue of education. and it has given ii.e a general and hearty support in mv efforts in behalf of the schools; for which the editors have my sincere thanks. OBSTACLES IN THE WAY OK l.MI'KOVEMF.NT. We have but little now to suggest from our former report. Some of the obstacles then mentioned have been to a certain de gree removed. The interest manifested by directors, patrons, and teachers, has been greatly inert ased.and is productive of much good. The greatest obstacle is the want of sutScient money to carry on the schools. In a number of districts the tliirt. en mil!s til lowed by law to be raised is barely sufficient to keep the schools oi en four months ; and in some, even to d this, directors must pay low s-alaries,and hence secure poor teachers. I would urge upon directors the importance and necessity of grading teachers' wages according to their qualifications and success in teaching. J1EASURES CALCULATKD TO PROMOTE IM PROVEMENT. 1. The school term should, by law, be six months, instead of four. 2. The Slate ap propriation should be increased to eight hundred thousand dollars, and be divided in proportion lo the number of children in the State, between the aires of six and twenty one 3. "I'oduee the number of directors to three, make them sworn 'thcers, compen sate them tor their services" and hold them responsible for all losses sustained by the district through their neglect. Conclusion I believe that the people of the county will bear tnc out in making the assertion that more work has been perform ed an I greater progress made during the past two years than in any term since the establishment of the County Superinteti dency. The work, however, is not ALL done; much remains yet to do. I would then say to the friends of education, who feel the same interest as myself, let us gird on the armor anew and unite in I urthei ing this no ble cau-e ; for by the education ot our chil dren, more than by any other agency, our future destiny as a nation is to be determin ed ; and as this interest is sustained or neg lected, so will our uat ion rise in grandeur and power, or sink. OEO. . bNYDF.R. bounty Sup't. Take Care. Haw many of us, in our mad pursuit of wealth, or fame, or pleasure are willing to give a passing glance at the law- upon which cur very existence de pends. The subject that should most inter est mortal uiau is u:an himself, lie should tank into the organization ot his body, and study the laws by which that organization is governed. Yet, iu this nineteenth century, this age of science, how few are there who have been educated, or have educated them selves, for the important work of taking care of their bodies ! And in consequence of this neglect, how many there are, who, day after day, throughout a lifetime, con tinue to violate the plainest and most im perative laws of nature till, finally, they bring disease and premature death upon themselves, a penalty for violated law. Bible promises are like the h ams of the snn, which shines as freely in at the win dows of a poor man's cottage as the rich man's palace. In matters of conscience, first thoughts are best. In matters ot prudence, last thoughts are best. Good places to board lumber yards. Do Metals Grow. It is supposed by some that the metals were formed or deposited in some past age of the world by the agency either of heat or water, during some great convulsions of nature such as have not been witnessed in the period embraced by written history or tradition. There are reasons lor doubting the reliability of this opinion. That vari ous mineral substances are .now in process of formation or developemeut is certain. For instance, the formation of stone is as apparent as its disintegration. On the beach at Lynn, Mass., may be seen a con glomerate of clay and silicious sand impreg nated with ferous oxide, iu all stages, from the separated particles to the layers of hardened rock. These rocks are merely the particles of sand, cohered and agglutinated by means of the clay and'the oxide of Iron the talt water acting as a solvent of the softer pari ides and the sun's rays compact ing and baking ail together in one mass. So, al.o, we kuow that coal is beiug formed from peat. The intermediate stage is lig nite or bnwu coal which in turn becomes coal. It is morally certain that gold, silver, copper, and so:ne other metals arc now iu process of formation or deposition. Aban doned silver mines in Peru have been found rich iu aborescent deposits of the metal on the walls of galleries unused for many years. A gold-bearing region after having been cleaned of the precious metal gives good results after the lapse of only a few years. So with copper. Iu the Siberian mines not only l lie precious carbonate known as ma lachite but the metal itself, in a sti le of al most absolute purity is deposited on the walls, roofs atid floois of galleries run under the earth's surface. In some places it ap pears in masses and in others as tree like formations.wiih trunk and branches similar to a delicate moss. M hat becomes of all the gold unavoida ble wastid in the process of manufacture and the wear in transmission from hand to hand as currency? It is well known that with all the care exercised in the manufac ture of these precious metals, and notwith standing their specific gravity, an appieeia ble portion of them is utterly wasted;, at least so distributed as to be incapable of be ing collected aud used again. Is it annihi lated ? The teachings of science prove this to be impossible. .Nothing is ever wast mosphcrc they must iu time seek the earth's surface. Are they attracted by some un known power to certain localities, and if not, why.-hould not the streets of a busy city become iu lime deposits of the precious metals? Perhaps, after all. the old alchemist had an inspiration of what may yet become tin fait accompli. When we understand the wonderful processes of nature's labratory we may possibly imitate her and grow our own metals as we do our own vegetables; or we may find the philosopher's stone and actually collect the particles of tbe metals, if we cannot transmute a base miueral into one of the metals. An Old and True Friend. A gentlemen played off a rich joke on his better-half the other day. Being somewhat of an epicure, he took it into his head that morning that he should like to havo a first rate dinner. So ho addressed her a note politely informing her that a gentleman of her acquaintance an old and true friend would dine with her that day. As soon as she received it, all hands went to work to get everything in order. Precisely at twelve o'clock she was prepared to receive hei guest. Tbe house was as clean as a new pin a sumptuous dinner was on the tuble, aud she was arrayed in her best attire. A gentle knock was heard, and she started with a palpitating heart to the door. She thought it must be an old friend, perhaps a brother, from the place whence they once moved. On opening the door she saw her husband, with a smiling countenance. "Why, my dear," said she, in an anxious tone, "where is the gentleman of whom you spoke in your note ?" "Why." replied the huaband, complacent ly, "here he is." "You said a gentleman of my acquaint ance an old and true friend would dine with us to-day." "Well," said he, gmd hunioredly,"am I not a gentleman of youracquaintance.an old aud true friend ?" "Oh !" she cried; distressingly, "is there nobodv but you?" "No." "Well, I declare this is too bad," said his wife, in au angry tone. The husband laughed immoderately, but finally they sat down cosily together,and for once lie had a good dinner without having company.! An incorrigible loafer, being taken to task for his laziness, remaiked: "I tell you, gentlemen, you are mistaken, I have not a lazy bone in my body, but the fact is, I was born tired." Sickness should teach us what a vain thing the world is, what a vile thing sin is, what a poor thing man is. and- what a pre cious thing an interest in Christ is. An irritable gardener, seeing a boy steal ing some fruit, swore if he caught him there again he'd lock him iu the ice-house and warm his jacket. Why are the letters "oz" like an adver tisement? Because they are for an-ouuee-meant. Pride is the most rediculous aud the most foolish of all vices. fALTER BARRETT, Attorney at Cler- aeld. Pa. May 13. ISAM. 1 D. W. GRAHAM. Dealer in Pry-floods.

Those preferring a Medicine free from Alcohol ic admixture, will use IIOOFLAXD S GERMAN BITTERS. Those who have no objection to the combination of Ihe Bitters, as stated, will s JIOOFLAXn-S GERMAN TONIC. They are both equally good, and contain the same medicinal virtues, tbe choiee between the two being a mere matter of taste, the Tonic being tbe most palatable. The stomach, from a variety of causes, aucb aa Indigestion, Dyspepsia. Nervous Debility, etc., is very apt to have its functions deranged. The Lifer, sympathizing as closely as it does with the stomarb. then be v-' comes affected. ihe result of which is that the patient suffers from several or more of tire following diseases: Constipstfon, Flatulence, Inward Piles, Fulness of Mood to the Head. Acidity of the Stomach, Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for Food, Fulness or Weight in the Stomach. Sour Eructations, Sinking or Fluttering'at the Pitof the Stomach, Swimming of the Head, Hurried or Difficult Breathing. Flutteiing at the Heart.

Yellowness of the Skin and Eyes, Pain Id the Side, HacK,:hest. Limbs, etc., Sudden flash' es of Heat, Liuruijg iu the Flesh , Constant im aginir.gsof Evil, and great depression of Spirits. The sufferer from .'hese diseases should exercise he greatest caution in the selection of a remedy for his case, purchasing only that w hich he is as sured from his inves ligations and inquiries posesres true meiit is skilfully compound ed is free from injurious ingredidems. and has established tor itself a reputation for the cure of these diseases.

Twenty-twe years since they were first intro duced into this conn. ry from Germany, during which time llie.v have undoubtedly performed more cures, and htiientie.i suiiering humanity to a greater extent, luau any o.uer remedies known to the public.

Resulting from any eause whatever; prostration of tbe 'system, induced by severe labor, hardships, exposure fevers, etc. There is no medicine extant equal to these rem edies in such casts.
