Competency.
Everv youth, as he sees himself drawing
near to the aro when he should., and if he
would be rxd for anything in the world,
must, choose some calling or oilier by which j
te e: n e:irn his living, alu.osi daily eeks to
ilecMjwh.it that vacation skull be. i?oa:e- j
tia.eri alaicst the entire range cf huuian j
evocations is pi.sscd in review, t r.ly to be l
-:- uc I'Vcr asaiu in fruitless effort to come
t a docioiun, while in other cases a calling
soon chosen and the ardent boy resolves
that he will go at a bound to the top cf
the ladder, in more than ninety-nine in
it:. nets cut of a hundred, the valiant rcs-
f luliou is leavencdwith that youthful zeal j
vhich h pes to reach the coveted goal by
a single leap rather than by unromantic
plodding, repeated effort, disheartening
Jtilures and Jong journeys with blistered
f-ct. A brief contact with the real diffi
culties of whatever pursuit m:-y be chosen
takes away the romance and leaves as the
rei-ult an example of what the world is full
f a mau without pride in his calling or
an? useful ambition. m
The particular avocation to be fallowed,
so long as it is useful and free from neces
saiy diiLonetty, is a matter t f minor im
portance, and ought to be decided in ac
cordance with the mental aud physical ca
pa iii.'S and circumstances of each indi
vidual. There is no solid foundation for the
aversion existing toward learning trades. It
may be that the relation held toward labor
byeapital has no little t. do with this antipa
nthy, ts under the present system the me
cb;u;e Is too apt to be reduced to a mere
cipher. He has little or no responsibility
beyond the performance of his d;iily rou
tine of labor. Weekly cr monthly he
d ws hi s wages, knowing bcrbrehtmd all j
Le uny depend upon for the support of
himtelf and dependents. His condition
n too much that of the common soldier,
performing his daily service, drawing his
p -, 'nd knowing lut few of the ordinary
respi n-;ibilitios of life. But even under
the present system the mechauical arts offer
and afford more room for independence. of
character than clorkshipsand other callings
which usually receive the preference. In
our country the demand for labor of all
kiuds will continue to be greater than the
fcupp'y. True there-may come periods
when times will be dull, remuneration poor,
owing to unforeseen and temporary causes.
Hut so much of our resources remains un-
we extending themselves that skilled labor
is not likely to go a begging either long or
t f'en. Least likely of all is it thai the
really ccmpctcnt aitizan will lack fcrwork.
Such men are too searce even in these dull
times. There is hardly a village cf a thou
sand pc p!e in the Stale that does not to
ilay need mechanics more competent, more
prolicieut in their calling than those whom
it contains. As Ilaiph Walda Kmcrsn
nee said, much of our woik appears as if
it was built to-day to be torn down to
incrrow. W.tsc than this, there is too often
tn apparent lack cf conscientiousness in
work done. Our mason work often erum
bies intodust almost before years enough
have passed thoroughly to harder, the
mortar. Glue and putty and varnish hide
the defects of our fine workmanship in
wood. Gaping joints offend the eye.
Were we an older country, this incompe
tency visible in every avocation ar.d pro
fession in life would lie idle, vainly seeking
to be employed. Our professions arc no
nvre free from defect than ether callings.
Men without mental discipline thorough
training or adequate information aspire to
positions that would give room for the dis
play of the highest qualities and greatest
; ccomplLihmcnts, They find patronage
because thtir superiors are appropriated as
r.pid!y as they appear.
But while our anomalous position gives
rpportunity to such deficient workmen,
how much better opportunity does it afford
those who are willing by thorough prcpar-
ution, by diligence, by attention to detail.
to become masters in all things wherein
i hey assume to be experts. For such men
there will always be demand. In dull times
they will be preferred, and in flush times
they will be hotter compensated.

County Snpcrintendent cf Com
hi on Schools.
As lias already been announced, a Con
vention of the School Directors of Cambria
county will be held at Ebensburg, on May
the -ith, for the purpose of electing a Coun
ty Superintendent of Common Schools for
tlC three succeeding years. The Conven-
ti01. wil have an important duty to per
furU) inasmuch as the selection cf a Su
ierintcndent is a matter of the greatcsi
rreatcst
importance to the School interests and to
the people. Cambria has already estab
lished an enviable reputation on account
of its admirable school system, and for the
faithful and energetic manner in which
the educational interests are guarded by
those in whv.se keeping they have been
placed. It behooves the Convention to
takccarelest thevappointa Superintendent
unfit and incompetent for the duties of the
ofSee, and who through ignorance and
mismanagement will undo much of the
good that has already been done. They
should be guided in their selection by the
soundest discretion, and with an "eye
single" to the public good, and hence they
should lay aside all merely personal consider-
,t t i j nno -n-lio by learn
ing aud experience is peculiarly fitted for
the office.
Among the requirements of the cfEce
is that he should be a man of literary and
scientific acquirements, cne thoroughly
conversant with all live various branches
cf study pursued in all the schools. This
is necessary because he has entire super
vision over them, and it is part of his duty
to examine the different schools in the
several branches. A man devoid of these
acquirements would of course be wholly
unable to perform one of the most impor
tant duties of his office. This is a propo
sition so plain that we uecd not enlarge upon
it Uq ghouU h.Q in tho Mt cf
teaching, including a practical knowledge
of all the theories and modes adopted in
our several schools. This proposition is
as plain as the preceding one. There are
many other requisites we might enumerate,
but wc would be insulting the intelligence
cf our School Directors, were we to dwell
at any length on this point. But above all,
the Superintendent should be a man of the
utmost energy and perseverance, one who
will devote his whole time and undivided
attention to the arduous and important
duties of the office. He should be a man
not only of intellectual, but also of execu
tive ability, one who would be able to de
vise plans and propose measures by which
v . ui vuuvukiutl Villi UO LilO UCllt'l
advanced.
If the Directors disregard all these self-
evident propositions, and teloct a man who
possesses no requisites for the office, they
should, and will, be held to stern account
ability. And if they select one so fully
competent for, and so faithfully efficient
in the office a? the present Superintendent
has shown himself to be, they will entitle
theu selves to the thanks of the friends of
popular education.
School directors will be careful to
notice that the triennial convention for
the purpose of electing a County Superin
tendent, is called for the first Tuesday of
May, the fourth day of the month. The
day was changed from the first Monday to
the first Tuesday cf the month by the act
of April, 1807.

A Curious case was decided in the Su
prem Court of New York the other dsy
m which the widow of a man named Ward
rccovtrcd thirty-ihree thousand dollars
troia the estate oi her husband under the
following peculiar circumstances: Ward
was mnrried in 1S34, in Ireland, and im
mediately afterwards came to this country
where he realized a largo fortune. Mrs
Ward followed him, but he refused to re
copn'ze her as his wife. Dying in 1S64
his body boxed up in order to prevent iden
tification, and buried. Mrs. Ward proved
her marriage by one surviving wituess
The balance of the case was made out
of letter written to her by her huband
from 1S35 to 1837. These had no stamps
upon them. I5ut it was proved by an old
employee ofthe postal service in Ireland
that no stamps were required previous to
1849 on letters sent to Irel-nd. Although
none of Mr. Ward's witnesses, nor Mrs.
Ward hcr.elf, could swear to having seen
the dead body of Ward, the ca&e was de
cided in her favor.
The Civil Tenure Bill question is set
tle! at last by an agreement of the two
hcues of Congress. The new act weo
to the President for hi3 hig&aturc last
week. The President's power of removal
or tuepeosion is not in any way dependent
oo charges or reasons, but may be exer
cised in his own discretion; that no re
moval cau be made during the session ol
the Senate except by consent of that body
given in confirming a successor; that the
President may suspend at pleasure during
vacation, and appoint successors whoshjlt
receive all pay and emoluments of the of
fice to which they are appointed ; that nom
inations iu cose of suspension mutbe made
wishin thirty days alter the re-asacmbly
of the Senate; that if during this session
the President and Senate fail to agree on
some one suspended, the officer goes back,
at the end of the session.

If. instead of iainin;r in wealth, we are
rather losing ground, thin it is of the"-ut
most practical importance toascertain wno
are tue losers, a uerc ia wmtwutu: s...-

not ta be looked for among the operative
end employed classes; for, in the first place
they, have Uttle to lose, aud, a tne nexr,
the returnsof the Savings Bauks aod social
criteria generally fail to indicate loss on
their part. We presume it will not be
supposed that the agricultural "class (al
though- they have not increased in numoer
proportionately to the increased popula
ti.tn) have perceptibly diminished in wealth
couuted in lands "and -bonds. Manufac
tures also though at one time heavy losers
through the decline in prices, have lor the
la?t two or three years been more prosper
ous. It is mainly amoug the distributors
oi commodities that we must look for the
evidence of diminished wealth; and recent
failures and facts well known in commer
cial circles leave little room for doubt that
as a class thi interest is working without
profit. We do uot mean to intimate any
general insolvency among merchants ; bui
simply that iu large number of instances
their private and business expenses exceed
their profit- This is a well known fact
every day remarked upon by merchants
themselves.

facts: In 1851 there were 4,417 marriag

four births to one marriage during the
year. In 18G8 there were G,371 marria

2 710 births to each marriage. Tho ro
sident population has increased fifteen
per-cent., but the tables show r.o iucrease
of births. The?e figures are in accordance
with the statistics of the New England
