MR. EDITOR.-4 has been my privilege
to be. present at the examination of Green
wood Female Seminary, under the' care of
the Rev. J. Campbell, Principal, held in this
place on the 28th of-March last. The young
ladies of the school were examined on what
had been subjects ofstudy during the session
—Geography' Grammar, Natural Philosophy,
Aril hmatic, "Watts on thellind," &C. They
gave satisfactory evidence of their assiduity,
and of the pains taken by the Principal to
make them solid rather than superficial schol
ars.
The parents and others who were present
on the occasion returned home highly pleas

of parents and guardians who wish •to give

BEAUTIFUL 'ANNOUNCEMENT OF SPRING.-
The following beautiful announcement ;of

cannot be too often read, is very • appropriate

to' the aeason now opening upon us: •
" La; the winter is past ; the rain is• over
and gone; the flowers appear 'ori: the earth,
the time of the. sin g ing of birds is come, and
the turtle

putteth forth her, green figs, , and the vices
with the 'tender, grape give a' good smell." •
No modern ,writer can excel this beautiful

SHADE GAP, April 3, 1856.
"Let The, trniOn Slide."
We copy the following from the Cincinntaj
Enquirer: • The •Lieutenant Governor Ford
spoken of by the Enquirer is the same patrio
tic gentleman who officiated for a time as the
chairman of the Philadelphia know-nothing
convention :
'"Thomas H. Ford, the tresentiblack repub
lican lieutenant governor, in his speech at
the recent convention in Columbus, declared
that, rathei than see Kansas or Nebraska come
in as slave. States, even if the people so .deci
ded, le would- . be willing to see the Union
broken into a thousand fragments. After this
expression of his hostility to the Union Ford
will be a aeliter man than ever in the aboli
tion ranks. -- -He will be placed on the same
list with Wade, Banks, Chase, Giddings, &
Co., who have all been rewarded with high
office for their treasonable sentiments. This
Ford professed a short time since to be in
tensely imbued with national American sen
timents; yet now, rather than see Kansas or
Nebraska come into the Union as other States
have done, he would destroy our nationality
itself.
"While we would rather see Kansas and
Nebraska adinitted into the Union as free
States,' yet no action of theirs will cause true
patriots to put in jeopardy this Union, which
is of more consequence that the whole color
ed population of the world. These repeated
declarations of the chief of the black republi
cans are useful as showing to the people the
true character of that organization."
Another Steamboat Accident
We learn from the Cincinnati Commercial
of the 29 ult., that on Thursday morning,
last, as the new, sternwheel steamer Metrop
olis"„ - bound from Pittsburgh to New Orleans,
was passing West Columbia, a fevi miles be
low Pomeroy, Ohio, her starboard boiler
burst, tearing away the floor of the hall right
above, instantly killing three persons, and
scalding five others so severely as to- cause
their death in few hours. Captain E. C.
Hazlett entered the hall a few minutes before
the accident occurred. He was picked up on
the lower deck, near the capstan, and was so
_badly injured that he died in a short time.—
The porter, a white man and resident of Lou
isville; a passenger named. Roberts, a jewel
ler from Pittsburgh, and• Mr. George Barret,
barkeeper were in the wash-house, adjoining
the hall. The latter was slightly bruised on
the head. ' The other twci'died shortly after
wards. A german and bis son whose names
were unknown were killed. A son of Rev.
Mr. - Bryant, of Pittsburg, was . killed. T. A.
North, of Galveston, Texas, was . killed. A
deck hand,. name unknown, -was killed.—
Two firemen are missing, and several of the
passengers are 'Slightly scalded. - The acci
dent is attributed to a defect in the iron in
the boiler. Two sheets in the centre Were
torn to pieces. The boilers -when tested at
Pittsburgh, stood a hydrostatic 'pressnie of
210 pounds, while she wan only , working
-110 pounds when . it exploded. The only
damage to the boat is the injury to the boiler,
and:the tearing away a portion of the floor of
the hail. Capt.t.Haziett was an old and re
spected citizen of Pittsburg, and has_built: arid
commanded a number of steamers on the
Western witters.
pa' The French press seem to be considerl
ably exercised ; by the long struggle 'for, a
Speaker in the - Unned States House of Repee-,
sen'tatives. The Patrie, a Paris eveninc , jotir
nal, a-few days ago gravely announced to its
readerti the termination of the combat in the
election of Mr. BariltSl"a,:ncgro," who ; had
long been violently opposed by - the Southern
members on account of his color • and whose
election- would-no doubt lead to the -_speedy
disSoldtion of the.TJnion. Another paper 'in
the ballots, sets da*n "Mr.
Scattering," a member of 'the minority, as
having received a few yotes . from first to last,
and thought his friends' resolution in'2, stick:-
ing to him very' commendable, indeed.-=;-.
There's wisdom for you . .
LOCK HA YEN :AND'TYRONE RAILROAD.—
The last..meeting of the stockholders, of the
Lock Raven and Tyrone Railroad has given
a great impetus to this unportent enterprise,
and we trust the energy manifested on that
occasion will be fully realised by. an early
completion of the-eroad. The auspiceS are
more,-ttlan propitionsi : judgingjrom- the in
terest which prevails among, the people; and
now while the real necessity' of a railroad is
iieen• by every business man, the work should
be pushed with
.unbounded vigor. We un
derstand that there' is a' rumor; - which ap
pears to be well founded that an extensive
iron •firm have promptly offered to rnanutac
ture. the.ritils 'at the -fiberal'iate - cif WO per
ton, and inpart 'payment, subscribe the sum
of -$125,000 in stock. This 'proposition
seems to be both encouraging and liberal.—
It will doubtleSi'haie a tendency to give a
great impetus to the road ; and. wit b.: the'ernn
lation of other business interests in this re
giohj the early completion of the Lock Ha
ven and Tyrone Railroad is lost becoming a
certainty.—Bellefonte Watchman.
A HARD WINTER.—The snow drifts are
not . confined to the railways. The Syracuse
'(N: Y.) Journal says that the plank roads in
that sects on are in a bad fix, and adds that in
one, place. the drifts are so high that the gate
*keeper comes up through
. the -scuttle in the
roof of his house, and receives the - tollby
reaching up through a hole in the middle of
the roof. The additions made' to the drifts
by the recent fall have been so great that *all
communications through the scuttle is 'now
cut off, and the' toll is now paid to the gate
keeper by dropping , the money dowri the
chimney •
ILLUSTRATING & POINT Sir Fletchei Nor
ton was noted for his want of courtesy.—
When pleading - before Lord Mansfield on
some question of manorial right, he chanced
unfortunately to say. "My lord, I can illus
trate the point is an instant in . my own per
son,• . I'myself have two little manors."—
The Judge immediatelyinterposed,• with one
of his •blandest smiles,!"Wcy all know at, Sir
Fletcher." •
