While to get rid of such fellows is always such an inestimable blessing that the means are not likely to be closely criticised, the personal safety of such better men as occasionally drink liquor demands that a different sort of place should be selected for fights in which bullets meander aimlessly about from pistols held by drunken hands.

THE reeent poisoning of a whole family in Canada, from eating cab bages, upon which it is supposed Paris green had beeb sprinkled, should prove a warning to farmers against a careless use ~f this class of insect rem edies. Paria green is largely com posed of arsenic, is almost insoluble in water, retaining its active principle for years, and a very little of it may prove fatal. It is well enough to em ploy it upon potato tops, and the foli age of such other plants as are not used for food for man or animals, but its use upon, or even near any other kind of vegetation, especially in the kitchen garden, is fraught with danger There are plenty of useful means by which the cabbage worm may bo de stroyed or its ravages lessened, with out resort to violent poisons.

These papers directly instigate crime and their extinction would be a blessing to humanity, but as there exists no means ol suppres sing them, ami as our children will read, it follows that the best antidote is to furnish the youth with good wholesome reading, presented in itf most attractive form with a view of j winning them away from the corrupt ing papers, to that which entertains and instructs. As the press has been i unanimous in its condemnation of the corrupting literature referred to, we trust it will be equally ready to say a good word in behalf of our enterprise. The object of "Golden Days*' is so clearly defined and will be so consci entiously pursued, that we feel it i.-* en titled to the countenance and support of all who have the welfare of the young at heart.

SOME thousands of workmen ordi narily engaged in a single trade in New Y'ork city are now in that unsatisfac tory financial condition which the peo ple in their homely phraseology des cribe as "living upon the interest of what they owe."

LET the inventors of unsuccessful suspenders and tin underclothes, of pumps that won't pump and pulleys that won't pull, of impossible motors anil incredible fly-traps, take courage. One of the craft has found a new way to make a market for patented wares. Being the inventor of a certain des cription of cotton cordage which the Secretary of the Navy obstinately re fuses to make use of, this gentleman betakes himself to Congress, enlists tbe sympathies of Southern Senators j on the ground that this is a home man- j ufacture of a Southern product, and : induces the Senate to pass, as it did . last Thursday with all solemnity, a bill postively directing the Secretary to test the invention. Mr. Conkling was about right when he said the other day that legislation of this kind is "degrading" to Congress, if the Secretary has declined to test the cord age, as a friend of the bill has stated, it was probably for some good reason. ; The bill is therefore an argument | against the invention, and the passage { of the bill in necessarily a matter fori astonishment. IT can almost be asserted that ST. JACOUS j OH. works wonders.

THE surplus of imports over exports last month amounted t<> nearly £15,- 000.000. Official figures of the imports ami exports for the. eleven weeks of lsso shows that the imp >rtsamounted to $93,500,000, while the exports did not exceed $ i 0.500.000. The only thing likely to offset such an unfavora ble state of things is the prospect of an increased export of grain, with the opening of the water carriage of the country. A table has recently been compile ! by the Liverpool statistician, which shows that the Atlantic seaports will have to ship about 1,600,000 bushels a week to meet the demand of | the United kingdom : and if they do so j for twelve weeks from March 1, Great j Britain will have a stock of about 4,- 000,000 bushels left by the Ist of June j to meet the requirements from its own harvest. Keeping in view the fact, that the average consumption of the United Kingdom is about 2,400,000 bushels per week, we see there is a fair chance j of the whole of our stuck of grain, j which amounts at present to 25,000,- 000 bushels, being drained much sooner \ than is generally anticipated at present, i Should this be the ca-e, wheat is not f unlikely to reach by the middle of | April the price of $2 a bushel, and to j change the present proportion between I our weekly imports and exports.

J/c.ssr.-\ Editor." —Having noticed communications from other places con cerning school exhibitions, I have thought proper to give an account of an exhibition held at Simpson school. No. 1, Oakland township, on the even ing of March 19th. At an early hour the house was crowded with attentive spectators. The performances were exceptionally good, and were conducted by the teacher, Mr. Bare, in such a manner as to call forth the appreciation of all who were present. The performances eon.-isted of vocal music, reading, declamations and dia logues. The most prominent performances were a class in medley reading, and also classes in concert reading. Miss Phillips of Millerstown recited "Cur few shall not King To-night." in a most admirable manner. Mr. Cun ningham. the teacher of Herdman school, gave a declamation, entitled the "Sleeping Sentinel." By the manner of Mr. Cunningham's delivery we have reason to congratulate the people of the Ilerdman district in their having with them during this winter a teacher of such intelligence and elocutionary attainments. The teacher, Mr. Bare, declaimed "Burns' Maniac," in a very apprecia tive manner. A SPECTATOR.
