As all the foreign newspaper corres pondents have been denied permission to accompany the Japanese army on its march northward in Corea, war news, so far as details are concerned, is ex ceedingly scarce. The situation, how ever, has not undergone any material change, and the Japs say that nothing important will transpire before the 28th inst. The weather and the roads are bad in Corea, and the Japs are advancing slowly, but they seem to be flanking the Russian positions, and the latter are retreating, burning the towns as they go. The Jap fleet at Port Arthur occa sionally amuses itself throwing shells into the town, at long range; while another fleet is scouring the sea, hoping to find the four Russian warships that escaped from Vladivostok. The terrible earnestness of the Japs in this war is illustrated in a late dis patch from Tokio, which read as fol lows:—"A woman at Takaski. on learn ing that her only son was exempted from active service on the ground that she was dependent on his earnings, im madiately committed suicide by plun- Sing a dagger into her heart. Before er last breath she handed the wenpon to her son, making signs that she ex pected him to use it against the enemy. Pocketing the dagger the son hurried away and volunteered for active ser vice. " The Russians are said to be assem bling an army of three hundred thou sand men near Laio-Tung. north of Port Arthur. There was "something doing" at both ends of the National Capitol, last week. The Senate Committee continued to probe into the secrets of the Mormon church, and the facts brought out were that the governing board of the church, of which Senator Smoot is a member, practices polygamy in spite of law. al though Mr. Smoot personally is an ex ception; that the church still believes trine, although the "revelation" con cerning them has been suspended for the present. It is the claim of the prosecution that Mr. Smoot cannot Ije a good citizen while he is in sympathy with the apostles who rule the church and defy the laws of Utah. The evidence ought to convince every body that an amendment to the Consti tution. placing the marriage and di- ~ vorce laws in the hands of the National legislature, is called for, and while the amendment machinery is in operation another, making the election of Presi dent and United States Senators by the popular vote, should go with it. There should also be a national charter law governing all interstate corporations. For three days of last week the Hou*e at Washington, was in an uproar over the Bristow report. It was a case of "much ado about nothing," and it came about over a resolution offered by Rep resentative Hay calling for an investi gation ot the connection of Congress men with the postal scandals. From Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow came a mass of stuff which the Committee on Postoflices and Post Roads passed along into the House. Whoever it was that got up this re port in the Postofflce Department was certainly an artist. He connected about one hundred and fifty Representatives and some Senators with the department in one way or another as asking favors for constituents, and the manner in which the story was sent out to the country made it appear that all of these members of Congress were "giafters," E which was unfair, and which was vig orously resented. Report of the County Auditors. P Though the County Auditors finished their work by Saturday, the sth, their report has become such a 'ponder ous matter that none of the printing of fices here could put it in type in time for last week's papers, and it appears in our columns, this week. The warrants redeemed by the Conn ty Treasurer, last year, aggregated |07,059 32; the state tax forwarded to the State Treasurer amounted to $ 18,- 980.81; sinking fund, treasurer's per centage and balance due, makes a grand total of $136,837.93. The largest items of axpense are those for new bridges, bridge views and re pairs, etc., which aggregate #50,413.03; pay of jurors, elections, improvements, salaries, dockets, repairs, and board ing prisoners. The county is in good shape, financi ally. as it has about SIB,OOO in its treas ury, and three times as much more due from collectors, etc.. while its out standing bonds and other debts amount to but SIO,OOO. The warrants redeemed by the Coun ty Treasurer for maintaining the Coun ty Home and the poor, aggregate $24,- 8*12.59, and these with the nmounts set aside for the sinking fund, the Treas urer's percentage and balance on hand amount to $41,103.05. The largest items of expense were salaries, insane and hospital accounts, out-door expenses, provisions, out door relief and insur ance. SII2OOO in Poor-district bonds are yet outstanding, and deducting amounts dne from collectors and bal ance in treasury, the county yet owes SBO,OOO for its poor house and farm. "Peter Men." While five strangers were eating their supper at a vacant house formerly oc cupied by S. Mong, in Forward town ship, a mile east of Evans City, on Wednesday evening of last week the house was suddenly snrrounded and en tered by a lot of P. R. R. police; the strangers were covered with guns, arrested, handcuffed and taken to Alle gheny, where they were held for a hear ing, and next day were committed to jail for trial. The charges against them will consipt of a long list of burglaries and robberies of railroad stations, in cluding some cases in this county. The leader of the gang is said to be an old criminal named "Peter," who has served eeyeral terms, the R. R. police have been after him for some time, and but lately learned that he and his gang called "Peter Men'' were liv ing in an abandoned coal mine near Evans City. Early Educational Method*. I was a pupil in the first free school established in our neighborhood, in October, 1837. As the law then stood a board of directors would manage the school affairs of the township, levy the tax. pay the teachers, pay for fnel. etc., and when necessary erect new buildings. There was a committee of three elected in each sab-district: the duty of this committee was to make the choice of a teacher for their school, to see to it that the school house was made comfortable for occupancy, that fuel was supplied, etc. The board of school directors would settle the bills. When a teacher presented himself to the board for employment, having with him the certificate of the committee, it was the duty of the board, before em ploying him, to have him submit to a literary examination. He would usual ly be sent to some clergyman or other literary person of the neighborhood for examination: the certificate that he would bring back was always honored. It was quite probable that some of onr early teacheis were somewhat limited in their culture. An intelligent farmer wonld frequently take charge of hid home school, as it wag usually open only a few months. If he could maintain good discipline and could retain possess ion of a good pocket-knife, having one small blade, kept sharp, with which to "make" pens for the students, who wonld always furnish the goose-quills, could write "a plain hand—as he had to write copies in their "copy" books could use a good switch, three feet long or more, he was regarded a good teacher. At this early period there were more in the spelling classes than in others. The "United States Spelling Book"' was then used. In reading there was one class in the Bible, another in the New Testa ment: beyond this any one could bring whatever reader he pleased,historical or biographical. A reading class would not infrequently have one pupil in it. At this early stage of school develop ment six days in the week were taken up in the school room. It required little time to arrange for the next week's work I recall that on Saturday afternoon an esteemed neighbor—a fanner, a -justice of the peace and an elder in the United Presbyterian church— would put in his appearance, and by permission of the teacher would take charge of the school. He required all of sufficient age to com mit to memory the Ten Command ments, the shorter catechism, with se lections from the Psalms and other Scripture lessons, not forgetting the Lord's Prayer. All this was in an early stage of our public school system. This religions training would not be allowed at this more adyanced period; and yet, in looK ing back over that primary period,l can not see where any harm grew from this training of the young minds on these moral lines. Several years had passed before a grammar class was introduced in our school. I recall the incident; a class of two was started, and we all thought it singular that it was necessary to teach people how to use the language to which they bad been reared. I recall noticing them at their grammar (Kirkham's).and it seems to me I can yet see the teacher as he is walking back and forth across the room with his hands behind his back, under his coat-tails; and as he looks over towards the grammar class extemporizing, "John—his book—John —his book," with a generous smile. It may be a surprise to some of our present teachers to know that not only late in the 30's, but early in the 50 s male teachers received as low ns $lO a month, and females from $lO to sl2 a month. These figures would not do now; everything in the business line has changed. Verly little money was needed then; many of the teachers lived at their homes while teaching. The most direct and radical change that took place in the development of the public school syetem was caused by the law directing the election of county superintendents This law went into effect in 1854. I well remember the meeting of the school directors of But ler connty, when coming together for the first time under the Taw, they met in the basement of the Presbyterian church, and Isaac Black, an active school teacher, was elected! When it name to fixing the salary a Baptist min ister from the northern part of the county moved that the salary be fixed at SIOO a year. This brought the Rev Fiudley— afterward president of the Westminster College—to his feet. He remarked that he deemed such a motion an insult to the legislature that bad psssed the law. The mover of the reso lution replied that snch was his purpose in offering the resolution as he felt ihat the legislature had insulted the school directors of the w hole State by provid for the selection of an agent to look after their official conduct The salary was finally fixed at S3OO a year, and I can truthfully Hay lhat no superintendent of lat> r jears discharg ed the duties of the office with greater fidelity than did Mr. Black, traveling, MS he did, on foot from one section ot the country to the other as bin official duties required. Just think of it, three years' hard work —both physical and mental-for which in return he re ceived $900! —T homos Robinson in Pitts burg Gazette. WAR NOIES. On Friday last the Japs, estimated at 200,000 were continuing their march northward in Corea, and the Russian scouts were retreating. Yesterday the Russian war ships bottled up in Port Arthur were repotted to have escaped, and the Russians were rushing troops to the Yalu. OIL NOTES.

The child has passed the danger point and soon will recover from the wound. It ia expected that many new wells will bo drillel in theSpeechlev field this spring. SILEX. State To Rebuild Bridges. In 1813 a law was passed by the State Legislature making the Connoquenees ing a navigable stream from Butler to its confluence with the Beaver. In 1805 a law" was passed by which the State, on petition through the Dauphin Connty Courts, agreed to rebuild all bridges over navigable waterways which may be destroyed by flood or tempest. Com missioners Attorney E. L. Ralston found the old law of 1813 after a long search, and now the State will be peti tioned to rebuild the McCalmont, Buhl and Allen bridges, which will mean a saving of about SIO,OOO to Butler Co.
