She, like all ladies that want to show a proper abyness upon such occa sions, and make folks think that they don't want to be kissed, resisted the gallant attack just long enough to make the victory more sweet, and to give foundation to the story that the whole thing was against her will. The story of the tranhaction got out, and the straight-laced school committee took it in hand. They declared that they couldn't stand it, and forthwith expell ed the teacher. The peoph of the town, however, with an enlarged view of the fallibility of human nature, in tend to keep the teacher employed at their expense. ltErTwo children, a son and daug,hter of William Satin, of Springfield, went to Onondagn Creek on Monday, where the boy ventured upon a log and fell into the water.

Barnes was not possessed of very ompericlr legal attainments, yet as a lawyer, he had the faculty of impress ing his clients that justice and law were with them in all cases. A rough coon tryman walked into his ofacw one day and began an application. " Gen. Karnes, I have come to get your advice in a case that, is giving n►o some trouble." " What is the matter ?" " Suppose now," said the client, " that a man had a spring of water on his land, and his neighbor living be low him was to build a dam across a creek Tv nning through both their farms, and it was to hack the water up into the other man's spring, what onglit to be done?"- "Sua hint, air, sue him by all means," said thd i General, who always became eicited in proportion to the aggrava tion of his clients. " Yon can recover heavy damages, sir, and the la.w will make him pay well for it. Just give me the case, and if he hasn't a great deal of property it will break him up. sir." " But stop, General !" cried the terri fied applicant for legal advice. " It's me that built the darn, end it's neighbor Jones that owns the spring and ho has threatened to sue me." "Ah ! Well, sir, you any you built dam across the creek; what sort of a dam was that, sir?" " It was a mill•dam." " A mill-dam for grinding grain, was it ?" asked the General. "Yes, it was just that." "And it's a good neighborhood mill, it not—a public: convenience?" "So it is, sir, and you may well say so." "And all your neighbors bring their grain there to be ghlittld,'do they? , " Yes, sir, all but Jones." '' "Then it is a great public rotrrtitdbfiee —is it not, sir l'" " To be sure it is, I would not haie it built but for that. It's so far to any other null, sir." "And now," said tho lawyer, "ion tell me that man 'toned is complaining just because ale wator from your dam happens to put back into his little spiing, and ho is threatening to she yon. Weft, all I. hare to say Is, let him sue, and he'll rue the day he thought, of it, as sure as my name is Barnes."

A few days ago he lost thn rope by which ho tied his scow to a tree upon the shore.— Having nothing else available, ho ex temporized a rope out of hay, and thus secured his boat,' as be thought, for the night, intending to procure another the next morning. Smith had a neighbor, named Brown. Brown hatl a fine, short horned hull. This bull strayed down the river bank and walked into Smith's scow. Having indulged in a drink over the SCOW'S aide, bull nibbled the hay rope with which it was fasten -2,1, and finished up matters by eating, it nearly all. The scow being thus at liberty, drifted down the stream until it came to the falls, bull enjoying his ride with great apparent gusto. Hay ing reached the Falls, boat went over, while bull went to the bourn-mii was drownded. Thi next day Brown sued Smith for the value of his bull. Smith rushed to a lawyer to aiik what was to be done. Lawyer said, sue Brea n fisr the value of that PCOW. Smith went ahead, and commenCed a cross action. How it will tern ont remains to be seen.

The Report of the Committee ap. pointed by the State Legislature to in quire into the condition of certain Banks chartered during the session of 1857, has created quite astir among the fancy financiers, not only in our State, but also in New York. When rogues fall out the truth will appear, is an old' maxim, and we hope for the credit of the Keystone State and the character of its Legislature, that such will bo the fact in this ease. We have given to the people the report of the Committee, the reply on the part of the Crawford Coun ty Bank,and the card of Mr. Walbridge, and wo now follow the chain of evi dence, by presenting extracts from a letter written by Mr. Joseph R. Robin son, of New York, with relation to the afraNs of the Shamokin Bank. After some genernl remarks Mr. Robinson proceeds to illuminate the prominent members of the Black Republican party who were in power during the session of 1857, when the Shamokin Bank was chartered. Mr. Robinson says " the charter of that institntion was in the hand. of Commissioners about Slinmo kin, who considered it worth twelve thousand dollars. They sold it for that amount, arid among those who were to pocket a share of the proceeds, were Ur. Curtin, 'Secretary of the Csatnion wealth under Gorernor Pollock, Mr. Taggert, who teas Spe,rker of the Senate, and sti. Finney, a member of the - same body." These men were parties to the sate of a charter which they had been itietrussatital iK proeuring, and to par ties outside of the State whom they knew wouldpp the Bank only as n means of cheAtltigant! defrauding the people of Petineyleanht. It is evident from the after conduct of Messrs. Cur tin, Taggert,. Finney, and their col leagues, that it never was their in ten. tion to figure prominently in this mat ter. They did not care who obtained posseavion of the elmrter of the Shame. kin liankor controlled its officers, ao the ix pocketed the price of their moiety of the property. It Was of no conse quence to these honorable gentlemen how false and frundulent was the basis on which the Bank was erected, how worthless its notes might be, or who mould have to pocket the loss, if they had 14fely in hand the guilty gold for the sale of their charter. Mr. Curtin, the Secretary of the Commonwealth, was engaged in this disreputable busi ness. ilia share of the spoils was to be one thousand 410lars. The Speaker of the . SOnite, Mr: Taggert, was to have an equal Amount for his interest in a charter, enginftered through the body over - which lie prosidei by one of Ilia own personal and political friends, while Mr. Finney, a prominent Black Republican Senator, is on the pay roll for one' thenrsand dollars, as compensa tion for his services in the same line. These are startling tacts. They , should call pnblie attention to the cor rapt thasseter of the men who are now the leading spirits in the People's move ment; by whizit they hope to obtain hold upon power once more in this Coinmonwcialth. Ifow tact* will use that poWer in the future etin only bo judged by reference to the past. \1 hen an cx.Srcrctary of the Comnionwealth will engage in the business of selling i bank charters, and when he is joined by a political friend and confederate, the ex-Speaker of the Senate, there is good grounds fur a be lief that this same loose, dishonest mile of transacting public business . had been practised der. ling the whole administration of which these men were the leaders and sham pions. Secretary Curtin and Speaker raggert were the representatives of the trading politicians during their whole term o f r ' office. There was not a scheme 'that had a speculation in it that did not reecive the countenance and support of these model men of the Black Itepublican p.irty, and unfortunately Governor Pollock was weak enough to fall into the trap they set for him, and became ) a partner in ninny of their schemes for ' private emolument. But the letter of Mr. Pi.obinson, while it does net clear himself from the charge made by the Report:, lets in the light upon the doings of those men who are blustering. about the oorruption of the Democratic party under the National Administration. Thoy ask to be rein stated in. authority tri Pennsylvania because they say the Democratic party of the Union has been extravagant in its expenditures. Will the people trust thesemen with such facts as those stated by Mr. Robinson staring them in the face they again Elam at the head of affeirs.in the State, men who stand convicted of having used their official position to 'obtain Bank charters, and then veld themin this market like any other article Of merchandize? This is the practical lathe. When the Black Republicanathargo . corruption against, the Democratic party in the Union, the answer for a Pennsylvanian to__reinnt is, let us look nearer home - at facti which cannot be questioned or dived.; ed. that is the live question, we need honest officers in the State, and honest, men to surround,. and advise thew.
