LEWISBURG, UNION CO., PA., FRIDAY, voa ma tswiiacaa auuwiaa. Mr. Chronicie : In your last num ber, One asks some of your "able contri butors" to give information to teachers in regard to the Blank Reports prepared by the School Department for the uso of Sec retaries of School Boards, or District Su perintendents, in their monthly visits to schools coder their care. Though I do not consider myself one of your aUe con tributors, yet I will venture on an expla- nation. If 1 miss the mar, iei aaoiuer one try it Th Erat bead that has any bearing upon the subject, is, " Atttndanc." Here, the Report asks for the "Best class," and "Worst class." "Boy who attended most regularly during the month." "Girl who attended most regulaaly during the month." These questions can be readily answered, by referring to the Register, or Teacher's Monthly Report. Under the neit head we find "Conduct and Order." Here, again, the beat class and worst class, the best boy ad best girl, arc to be reported, by way of encour aging good conduct and order in the schools. It will not be difficult for the teacher to determine what pupils are most orderly and obedient, or most disorderly. And, lastly we come to the subject more directly under consideration's : Frotpreu. This docs not, in my view, require the teacher to discriminate between the lett and the icortt of pupils or classes. It has no direct reference to the most advanced class, or most advanced pupil. But it simply asks what class made most advance ment (according to the several abilities of its members,) during tlta ao4ak , aU tka name of that boy and that girl who im proved most during the month. It is true, the teacher, ia order to do justice to his school, should be acquainted with the va. rious capacities and advanUgea of bis scholars, and mark them according to the improvement of those talents committed to them. The unfaithful steward was not condemned on account of having received but the one talent, but because be did not improve it. Yet, in too many cases, the intellectual who with little effort can recite long lessons, are applauded, while the dull, who labor much harder with leas success, ara called "blockheads." "Thomas," said I oace to an apparent ly dull scholar, who was always found at the loot ot nis class, except wneo otoer pupils took his place for a short time, "111 give you this book if you will gst to Ibc hesd of your class this week." "Tom" didn't utter a word, but bis looks seemed to say, that book is mt'ne. Next dcy, "Tom" was not at the foot, and before the week bsd ended, he looked up at me from the bead of the class, aod said in a trium bant voice, "I'll take that book, now, if you please." The book was his ; but, a few days afterwards found "Tom" at his accustomed place, at the foot of the class, which nothing but bribes could induce him to leave, again. Now, fellow teachers, did I do right in offering Thomas the book, after using every other means I could think of to get him interested in his studies ? Is it right, is it expedient, to offer prises or rewards to those who occupy the head of their class for the greater number of times dur ing the term ? Should Thomas be repor ted as a dull scholar, or as a good scholar? How should such a scholar be treated? What plan should I have adopted to get him to study, after I knew be had the abilty to learn ? II. taTThc Editors would add to the above, that the late edition of Com. Sch. Latct page 122 to 126 contains a lengthy and we should suppose sufficient, as well ss official, explanation of the Hank noder consideration, to which we would call the I .. - .1 J i t DOtice of gi coneerDed.

A clergyman was charged with having Tiolently dragged his wife from a revival meet ing, and compelled her to go home with him. The clergyman let the story travel along until he had a fair opportunity to give it a broad side. Upon being charged with the offence, he replied as follows : "In the first place, I have never attempt ed to influence my wife in her Tiews, nor in a choice of meeting. Second lymy wife has not attended anj of the revival meetings here, in tue third place, I havo not even attended any of the meetings, for any purpose whatever. To conclude neitner my wife nor myself havo any inclination to p-o to these meetings. Finally I never had a wife" Forney's Preu has a strong article in favor of Col.

A delicate young lady, aa invalid, a patient of ours, in an excursion with sev eral others, was "overtaken" by nightfall, and by a young gentleman. They were in a boat, and the boat was in the mud, the tide having gone out oo a visit to tie sea, and "there they were," a mile from shore, and several miles from home ; that mile was extraordinarily long and short Only think of it !

The next day she "didn't have anything the matter with her at all I" Why ? She bad taken lessons of us. Instead of pulling off her bonnet and abswl, and sitting in a cool place,or instead of undressing at once, aod thus letting the air check the perspi ration, she went into a warm room, closed the doors aod windows at the same mo ment, laid aside the garments one by one, at intervals, and when cooled oil, in lac course of half an hour, retired to sound sleep aod healthful awakeniog. Another man rode three miles with a little child sleeping ia his lap, which, pressing against bis stomach, caused un usual warmth there. Il was a chill, raw, November evening. Iu walking a hun dred yards to the house, the child moving slowly and wind blowing, the whole abdo men was chiliad in a moment. The next morning he awoke with the omioous pains of peritoneal ioflamation, which is often fatal in three or four days. A man had some accounts to draw off in mid-winter. It was a cold night He was greatly interested ; time went, and the fire too. He felt a little chilly, but thought be would soon be done ; that it wis not worth while to rebuild the fire. It was near one o'clock before he left for home, and he reached it most thoroughly chilled. Next moruicg he bad pneumonia, and never got well. Remaining at rest for hours io a cold room in raw, cold, damp weather, is enough to kill three men out of four, by bringing on congestion of the lungs, lung fever, or ioflamation of the lungs.

Our Receipt for Kief and i-ork. This reeeiDt. wnicn oneinaieu witu us, . ' w and has now had many years of trial, we believe to be unsurpassed as a pickle. At this period in the season, when farmers and others will soon be putting down their winter'', aod we may add their next year's supply of meat, it may be of ser vice to republish the receipt, which is aj follows : To 1 gallon of water, take 1 J lbs of salt, i lb. brown sugar, i ox. saltpetre, 1 oa. potash. In this ratio the pickle to be increased to any quantity desired. Let these be boiled together until all the dirt from the sugar and salt rises to the top and is skimmed off. Then throw the pickle into a large tub to cool, aod when cold, pour it over your beef or pork, to remain the usual time, say from four to six weeks, according to the size of the pieces, and the kind of meat. The meat must be well covered with the pickle, and j it should oot be put down for at least two days after killing, during which time it . should be slightly sprinkled wilh powder ed saltpetre. Several of our friends have omitted the boiling of the pickle, aod found it to answer equally as well. It will not, however, answer quite so well. By boil ing the pickle, it is purified for the amount of dirt which is thrown off by the operation, from the salt sod sugar, is sur prising. Germantotcn Telegraph. Obioin of the F. F. Vs. Many of our reader have heard of the "First Fam ilies of Virginia;" but few, we take it, know how the term originated. An ex change explaios it thus : In the early settlement of that State, it waa found impossible to colonize it unless women went there. Accordingly a ship load was aeut out, but no planter was al lowed to marry ooe of them until be bad first paid one hundred pounds of tobacco j for her passage. When the second ship load came, no one would pay more than seventy five pounds for the matrimonial privilege, except it were a very superior article. Consequently, the descendants of all those who were sold for ooe hundred pounds of tobacco were ranked as the first families; aod the reason why no one can ever find any of the second families, is be cause you eao'l get a Virginian to admit pounds of tobacco !
