Panama.
A correspondent furnishes the following
description of Panama, in a letter of a recent
i date :
j Panama is, with one exception, the mean
estf dirtiest, most disagreeable, and most a
' bominable place I ever visited, and I have
j'travelled considerably. The exception I re
. fer to is Gorgona, on the Chagres river. Cha
; grcs, mean and contemptible as it is, is a par
! adise compared to either. Provisions of ev
ery kind are extravagantly dear; the water
! is bad and scarce. The hotel acommodations

who know nothing and care for nothing.
j Their highest ambition is only play monto
"with the' few dimes they beg or earn by car
, rying a traveller's trunk, or fetching a jug
of water from a neighboring stream. I took
! a walk this morning to the market!-(sayelhe
' mark,) and made a note of the manner in
which business is transacted there. It is an
( open space, bearing the dignified name of pla
! za outside the walls ; Panama being, as you
j arc a ware, a fortified and walled city. There
! were scattered, sitting on the ground, about
four hundred natives, some of them copper
Colored and some of them arc as black as the
!cce of spades. Each having before him or
i her, on a wooden platter commodities for sale.
; Some had meat, some eggs, some yams, some
!pig!s feet, with hair on, some roots of various
, kinds, including potatoes ; others had oysters,
spread on a leaf in parcels of a dozen, and
such oysters ! others had beef and pork, cut
up into chunks of about three ounces weight,
and others had other things. All the ven-
ders of these delicacies were as dirty
as a ,
tropical climate, a dustv road in the vicinity

could make them. To be sure, a dozen or ;
so of them apparently inade an attempt to i'

at Panama. Having no money, they sleep
outside the walls on bare ground. This, to
gether with scarcity of food, superinduces
fever and disease, and the consequence is,
many die. Some of them are lucky enogh
to reach California in ruined health, where
they linger a few months. Their, deaths are
very improperly attributed to the climate of
that State, whereas it ought to be laid at the
door of Pfhama ; but, in the first instance, to
the imprudence of the sufferers, who, through
bad advice, or other cause, neglected to pro
vide themselves with through tickets.
There are but few objects of interest in
Panama. The churches are massive struc
tures, bearing the marks of time, and like all
other buildings here, public and private, are
in a sad state of delapidation and decay.
The way in which some of the tower bells
are rung is to me somewhatjiovel. Immedi
ately opposite my hotel is a church, in which
service is continually performed. The rope
which formerly was attached.to the bell wore
out, and sooner than get a new one, a native,
when the time arrives for mass, mounts the
tower, and hammers away at the bell with a
billet of wood. When done, he descends, and
assists the padre in his administrations. In
niches in the walls are images, as large as
life, of the Virgin Mary, the Saviour, and the
! Apostles, all of them dressed in Spanish cos
tume the Apostles having beards.and mous
taches of the true Spanish cut. I should say
j the Virgin is the favorite of them all, for she
is evidently treated to a new frock, and a new
fan oftener than St. Peter, or the other apos
tles, are to new breeches. I am sorry to say
I there is a great want of piety among the na
! tives, and that they prefer visiting the cock
nit. or lnnfinor in thp strpnts. In ntf pnrHntr thpir

churches. I fear the pious monitions of the
reverend padres are thrown
away on the
stiff necked and banana natives. This is to
be re"ed, for there are churches enough

themselves sometimes engage in cock-fight-

well as the most dangerous ones.

At length a

that inhuman jokes are continually practiced
on them. I will relate one which occurred
yesterday, as a sample. Some fellow posted
a written notice m different parts of-the town,

pose, hundreds of the poor fellows rushed to
the'lr passages, he said he would have none
applicants he said, could climb, and directed !
tliem to ascend the cocoa nut trees close by.
At it they went, forty or fifty men at a time;
some falling down when a little vay up and
others making fruitless efforts with their feet,
knees,, thighs and even toe nails, to reach tho
the top, which they could not possibly do,
the trees being so slippery. If it were not
for its wickedness, the joke would-have been
well relished.

Hint as to Sc!aooiin.
A common error into which many
parents fall, is to send their children to
an enferior school first, and afterwards
to place them in an establishment where
they may, as it is termed, "finish" their
education. Not only is the pupil a se
vere loser by this method, but the mas
ter, to whose care he is at length confi
ded, experiences much additional trouble.
He has not only now to lead the youth
into a right path, but to lead him back
from many a wrong one; not merely to
urge him to the further acquisition of xnA l"e matter torty years, one half exceed
good habits, but to endeavor to root out ,c? years of aSe Afc tho beginning

Quintilian that those who went to learn
music of Timotheas, paid double price if
they had received any previous instruc-
tion a safe-guard I would recommend
a general adoption of by good teachers.
But there are other evils connected with
such a system, not to mention those which J
result from change of plans to the stu -

There is much truth in the following
,article, which we copy from a Cauada pa

Prof. Buchanan, in a lecture lately
deliverd before the Mechanic's Institute
of Cincinnati, says that in the latter part
of the sixteenth century, one half of all
that were born, died under .five years of
age and the average longevity of the
whole population was but 18 years. In
the 18th century, one half of the popula
tion died under twelve, liut in the first
sixty years of the lfeth century one half

There is a number of Counterfeit Notes1
now in circulation, (some of them heretofore
noticed in our colums,) which require the
closest scrutiny by good judges to detect their
character. We append the best description
of them we can obtain ; ahd would caution
pur readers to be on their guard on receiving
notes of the banks on which these spurious
ones purport to be, without satisfactory evi
dence of their genuineness.
BANK OF MIDDLETOWN, PA
Mercer Broicn, Prcs.-Shijon Camerm,Cash
5s, re-issue vig head and bust of a female
in a frame large figure 5 each side of it a
medallion head and three figures 5 above and
below it. This is so close an imitation of
the genuine that persons not well acquainted
with the bill should refuse all 5 notes of this
plate. The word FIVE on the bottom mar
gin appears 26 times on tiie genuine 27.
5s, good imitation of the genuine, having
an eagle for the centre vig. a large female
on the right, and rea pears on the left end
large female is rather poor the clouding a
round the eagle poor and the reapers on the
left particularly poor has no (.) after the
word demand, and. no Qafter the name of
Danforlh, the engraver.
5s, engraving coarse. In the first batch,
the "M" in "Middletown" on the upper left
margin, had an extra flourish, which has
since been taken off to make it correspond
with the-genuine this leaves the "M" an
eighth of an inch farther from the margin
than in the true Bill, in which it is close on
to it.
IIARRISBURG BANK, PA.

and very likely to deceive the neck of fe
male on left whose hand encircles the anchor,
appears strung with beads, not so the genu

and indistinct, in genuine they are well done.

spaces between the word two on the upper
and lower margins do not correspond, and the-
word two on the loiver margin appears 21
times the genuine has the spaces alike, and
the two only 20 times. A new batch of these
is said to be in circulation. Refuse all notes
corresponding with this description.

WYOMING BANK, WILKESBARRE, PA.
10s, Viginettc, an ox and plotvat rest, with
a man reclining against the o.w On each
end of the note a female figure, and at the
bottom a small coat of arms ofPennsylvania.
Letter A., and dated May 7, 1851. Purports
to be engraved by Draper, Tappan, & Co.,
whose imprint is at top of the note. The
general appearance of the note is bad and the
engraving poorly executed, though calculated
to deceive those not accustomed to the hand
ling of Bank paper. The shading of the ti
tle and the denomination is very, coarse and
irregular. In genuine notes the shading is
always in fine parallel lines. Several per
sons were arrested in Philadelphia and New
York, within the last ten days for attempting
to put these notes in circulation.
Among the contributions recently re
ceived for the Washington National Mon
ument fund, is the sum of one thousand
dollars, contributed in sums of fifty dol
lars, by mercantile firms belonging to the
city of San Francisco, California.
