I/Eau:cum Montrree, August, 1840., For the Susquehanna Register, - Emrroa :—I do not anticiptte that the origin f any graft raced to my humble self; still, as in our coun - tn 7 - rery person is entitled ions topics of interest to the " sovereign People." t may i mot be improper through the Medium of our excellent paper, t 9 offer a few remarks upon e system of .common school education ms estab ished in our own state. It can hardly ibe admit ted that the majority of community, deeply inter .. . . cActl as they are iu the success-of this Institution, can be fully aware of the fact, thai our common Litool law is totally defective in detail, if not in principle, and of course falls far short of fulfilling the desired and desig,tied end. True ; some of its provisions may be 'wholesome and salutary, and prolrably the whole was ilesii,med to he, but it is with this-as kis with everything else— " One sickly sheep infects the thick, ! And poisons all the rest." Now it-is very easy to venture the prediction.' that until those most interested in haying good schools, ( I mean parents). examine this matter at tentively, all the exertion put forth by others will be unavailing, and no change for the betler will be wrought. It is a fact, that but few persons who engage as teackers at the present day dare hope to acquit themselves honorably of their charge -, or to draw forth the , eulog,itim of being passabki teethes, and very many thus presumptuous, find in the end that hopes are all fleeting shadows. The question is often asked ; why do we not have good schools P had it is very often gravely re• nuirked by those who see nothing but degeneracy in the present generation, that " we_ don't have such school teachers as we used to have." citsii however true this may be in the abstract, it nlay quite easy be shown that we should have such teachers, and a plenty of them too, if our school law was what it ouget to be. and parents would do their duty._ 1.00/1 for instance to the provisions made for the hiring and paying i of-lPssehers, and tell me, could it have been conceived in more cotr summate folly h The Whole matter till quite rez wady (not much better now) was vested in the haisds of irresponsible •" Directors," empowered to make all the contracts for teachers, regulate the price per month, making it Uniform throughout the whole township, thus arrogating the right, not only ofdie teacher to get his own price upon his labor but also of the proprietors to employ such a tea* er, and at what rate they might choose. In this case, the experienced and qualified teacher is plac ed not in competition with the inexperienced and unqualified, but on a level with them, and from these very circumstances be sees no inducement to put forth more than ordinary exertion, being as sured in the first instance,that they receive the same . pecuniary reward as himself, and in the second instance, that he can hardly fan to receive Ids full menu* of curses, and that theirs can be no more than fll. But the proprietors are also disaffected as well as the teacher. They can see no tangible reason why they should be deprived of the right of aegotiatinvrith, and for a teacher as they please. This disaffection very readily communicates to the edacires, and hence every imperfection in the tom= 4 whether imaginary or real; however trivial it matte, - is MogcliFiegrby them and readily repari.- e d to ilk. ims t a t ta, who oftentimes without listening to the. inice Tf *awn, being dissatisfied that th e teacher is seeonntable to the directors, and not to them ; s timietkaai the bands of the children in their ,', , „ ,• • , , to dii teacher, and the - consequences ybe read il y r' f 4 lrrer;"7 4 4 lr • teache r leaves . 1 4s ' ~. : - siek at heart, tUr4•I9I I Y, resolved never, to These sze.very few of the ocaarqiimees arisin g I a defective systern,oledaqiitioi; Asa does sit beeosne the imperativi.duty,oreyarx.perrtyes ' ylaresits, to examine ha"o . !Orihshiinirin its elements the ;fir4 atNLbeig eft 4,:.4perican cateni : • !or all • ty old fellow fo hie-wife, ro believe OA. inu*. ed his wits; in &Allow vistaor, PlY ) ktr Your Dem/paper: WA NMI lad *l * auk—rastial by pu, ' • rot the Stuquehatina Register. A FRAGDEENT • , Awn "mountain Scenes: , an :linpublisAed Work .* * * Maur is an unspeakable poetry about mountains. There - is- a cabalistiod , lore , coining down, from the olden time, retained as it were by the mountain spright, in they hidden recess„ in the deep dark glen, in the fitful) shadow as it hovers about the dark evergreen on the distant, height.-- It is whispered of* the winds as they go sigh ing through the tall tre‘v ; the rivulet dancing down the mountain gorge, ,babbles, forth the fait7 tale they are songs of the mountain,—they are teachings to the heart of the past,—they adumbrate the dim regions of the future. -0 ye :watch-towers of nations! ye monuments built of the Eternal architect ! the glorious suotil deth your time worn crests,—th°' *niers of old Oman surge ceaseless at your feet. But still you stand, impervious, unmoved, soleum arid sublime forever. A thousand limpid rills gush up from your in mtkit bosoms, and wander far away to gladden the hearts of men. Methinks I see the shepherd and his flocks, on the mountains;: a thousand flocks on a thousand hills ;—so nuaii - dots in the distance, but mingling they form a fleecy cloud to wander up and down the, motuttnin side: 'I is a scene of beauty fur the eve—'tis enchantment to the soul ! •••. • • • In the dark night, the cottage in the valley be low bears the sublime roar, like ocean, on the moun tain—be knows that the stornetiends are battling —he'fhinks of the dreary mountain—he draws his seat.to the fire, grid tells the little ones at his knee, a sad, melanchOly tale. "Its a sombre ptge in the mountain-history ! But. the morrow'il dawn!-- , the umuntain-top tens in the early sunbeam, the'Lleuse mass of ra- ling crag, dispc-rses*td ranislms—the phantoms of flocks Jae, and the shepherd's song is cheard—Yhe dismal tide was told last MAI, 'twas in the drear night-storm —the tale is now forgotten—'tis the enchanting morn. Thus, 0 mountain, the frowns and smiles iu thine aspect are symbolic-A of the tone or feel ings in num. The mount.citt dtorni=the black im pending cloud hanging around the towering clitf— the, w ild howling tornado that rideth the moun tain's back '.—"tis the dark; ixmtry of glooMand awe, to the heart of man. But' there is the bad ny , zephyr, at the stilly main day, the light amber donde floating on the fringed horizon ; the softand dreamy sunlight—the varying cadence of a shaitherd's pipe, the outpour ed melody of - woodland 4iinstrelsy, the murmuring of the embosiimeil fiaintain,=li.4 this, the soft en chanting euphony, that steals upon the senses, and draws the heart captive: up into the mountain— into the mystic shadows of the ancient mountains. * * * The Mortal slinnbereth, and the sprights keep watch—they whisper dreamy tales in his ear ; in his slumber la.--wandereth to flowery elf-1 a gleam ' of sunshine . 6on the care-worn .cl= the sleeper. PICKPOCKET TRAPPED'f--•••air.

DT ATUEZTONI FUMY MEI MONTOSE, PENN'A., THURSDAY, gEPTEMAER , 6, '1849. From Cliember's'Editibuig Jotunal. An,Affair of Honor. I am reminded by a recent article in the Journal, of the Single combats Which in fernier times were wont tis'defile the greens turf of my native Wand. Of course I need not •Sisune that ; the two simple ideas of fighting" and "teen," infill libly suggest - to - the least logical intellect in Great Britian ; a eixilpiiinstlone representing the locality ; !nlended. But,eltough the progress of civilxation to rul:ecou.nli.7:4 9 , through many painful gausses, wefully retarded, yet there is seine comfort in reflecting, that, the enormity of :duel li ng, mar be classed among, the things that " have been, teal are not." I will ; however, for the amusement of my 1 , readers,. relate_ the history of ,an affair of honor whith twk place. in a district of Munster, seine six ty or.sesventy years ago. Albeit, a w ild locality, so far as the natural fea tures of the landstaise were concerned, yet the vi cinity Baniagore, as, for the double reason of coactsalmtnt anti euphony, I shall call it, was a tot trebly peaceable place, viewed .with respect to its inhabitants. Barring the ecetsioual beating of n : tithe-protector, of ducking of a sheriff's officer, the ; country for miles around the village which gave it , a name, was free singularly front agrarian outrage. The land/ was divided into moderately' sized cs• ! totes,e&i • l, supporting the hospitable mansion of at I country gentleman, with his pod-natured wifeand their liiintisoine, !fro!ivking progeny. During a long series of years various intentiarrtages had taken ,place between the several fatuities; strthat at the I time I write of, there WAS scarcely an individual of ; note in the country, who would not clahn cousin ship oue w e a chgentlemanatridereevwer)a.%, t h an u e we ti % f .er ld ‘ s vi t i se u i u g .u h . ht u trs .h . o - 1. ly unetamectesi with, the magnates of die district. He was a Mr. Foots, a rich old bachelor, residing ! in . a very pretty:- cottage close to the boundary hedge of a large estate whiCh had lain for some I time tumcctipied. The dwelling of Mr. Fooks stood in the midst of a beautifully cultivates] pleasure ground, a wilderness of sweets,' where the emerald turf of the lawn was soft, and rich, and smiling, as though it lay in the heart of 'Engin e 's sunny Hampshire. A kind limn was )Ir. Fooks beloved by the . squires, with w.honi he,never quarreled, when, m the heatuf the chase, following the hounds „ilisfli.LCELAlLer lit.vn-scst...diax-sars.ssa-.; standing his uniform desertion of the dining room I and! the first maitguin of claret had gone its rounds whidn woad not - Wive been easily par doned in anyone else ; but Mr. rooks was a priv ileged man, and, as the ladies were wont to remark, it was really a comfort to feel sure of having one gentleman steady on his legin the drawiig room, 1 so that one might venture to give him a cup of cof fee without the (thence of Imving• half of it spilled on one's best satin." With the young people he was an especial fa vorite. ice Letter partner hi " Sir Roger de Co verly," or merrier opponent in the game of " matri mony," could hermitic! in the entire country ; while his skill in making burleys" for the boys, and carving woddenjlabies for the girls, secured for tuna a widespread popularity among the rising generation. By common consent, he was known in the neighborhood as " holy Fooks;" and this ep ithet *ll9 bestowed, not in ridicule, but as a sincere acknowledgment .or his singularly blameless mid useful life.. ;Perhaps it also meant to cominemo rate a peculiarity in his characier—he was- never known to .fight ; From the tithe-protector, whom , he hospitably entertained and. regularly paid—an unprecedented liut of conduct, which caused that much enduring man to exclaim,," Sure Barnagore would be a hea!ven upon earth, if every man in it were like Holy' Fools"—from the tithe-protector - down to the urchins whom he often caught snaring hares or cutting sticks in hie woods, he never abus ed or qus u with any one. Yet Holy Fmk!, was nn coward t that the 'poor, ,wftlocr. at the mill would readily testify to, slime little fair haired boy he saved from drowning by jumping into the mill pond at rte. imminent risk of his life. And when Tom, Malonev'slhouse was burned, who but Holy Fooks could - be found to, tread the filing floor ; and with! one band cling to the blackened rafters, with the other to seize in succession three children, and hand them safely to those outside f Mr. Fools was; in short, that, I grieve to say, anomalous clew. acter in Ireland—a brace good man who would not fight- The estate which bounded his, had lain, I have said, for some time unoccupied ; but at length a tomtit for it appeared in the person of a professed duellist from Tipperary, who, having made that fiery locality too hot to hold -him, and possessing as much money as impudence, i resolved to settle at Ikutuigore, and break fresit ground among its peaceful inhabitants. Tom Magennis, for such was his name, hail pot been long settled in his new res idence ere he managed to establish several " very pretty quarrels with his neighbors. He was au unerring shot, Sehludfaiting to, kill Ins man at any number of paces, as the infamous fighting Fitzger ald. He challenged one -young gentleman, fur ac- cidentally touching his cap with his whip as they were leaping together across O. stream following the hounds. A reconciliation was rejected by the scornful.bully t they met ; andlan hour afterwards a fine lad, the hope of his horne, was carried home a lifeless corpee. ' The nehglibering gentlemen) tried to send, 3lag,- ennis to " Coventry,' but it would not do ; he was_ a man of good, Gamily, and trill to maintain his po sition in society literally at th point of his sword. Every one wished him away, but who sas to " bell the cat" It happened that a belonging to Mr. Fools lay next to the uppermer of .Mageunis' leant, to which this latter to lime it annexed —he accordingly- wrote a letter, couched in very high end mighty l atyle, requiring his pacifie neigh bar to sell the piece of, ground m question. A. po- lite midy in the negative was returned ; and Maik with•rage at having his will opposed, haStened to seek an interview with Mr. Fooks.— He found that gentleman seated in his pleasant parlor surrottnaed by his. 'atlas ; and after the find salutations were passed, .Magennis began a - ruptiy- "Ilea Fook4, am I to understand from your letter thit you, ramie to let e have the lawn field l" Cerhiinly;.

On 'the , following morning, a large concourse of people, including indeed, nearly every inhabitant of the parish, assembled on the common , to see the appnutching cotfibat. Long and loud were the lamentations of the poorer issople, who had experienced much kindnes's from Mr. Fooks, - nt the fate that awaited him ; while the deepened tones and darkened looks of the gentlemen testifi ed their sympathy with' him, and their abhorrence of his antagonist. Precisely at 12 O'clock, Magen nis appeared i on the field, mounted on a splendid blood horse: • a dagger was stuck in his belt, and Ire brandished an enormous two-edged sword in his lituul. He csuft'a scornful glance around, and not seeing his antagonist, exclaimed, without ad dressing any onein particular, "1 thought thevoiv. _ardly fool would be-afraid to meet me; but if lie sneaks away, perhaps one of his friends, • (with a sarcastic emphasis,) will take his obis." I " Here he comes himself !" cried a bow, throwing un his bat, and a general cheer announced the ap proachof Holy }looks. He adianced rapidly, mounted on a Retry pony of so diminutive ;a size,. that it's rider's feet were raised brit a little above the ground. He Wits coin pletely enveloped in an ample crim - sois dressing gown, which wired and flaunted in the - breeze after a singular fashion. - In his• right hand he bore something which had the appearance of a long lance; but which having both extremities cowere d by the' extended folds of the dressing gown, W:44 not, seen clearlY.
