It is always refreshing to• visit schools, if
judiciously disciplined and a lively earnest
ness evinced on part of the pupils, especially,
rin'the midst of a 'pleasant i:ivalry, now nouriSh
ed awning our industrious teachers; we tan
then hope for progression in the scholar, and
deservedly present promotion to the teacher.
At a public examination of the High School
of Plainfield, Mr. Thos. W -Maurice, Teacher,
held on Friday March VA ; the ready mari
ner in 'which the pupils replied to the proimis
.cuous questions 'propounded by the Connty
'Superintendent and ether visitors attracted
Universal adMiration, and gave evidence that
they thoroughly comprehended their studies;
I that: they were not drilled especially for the
'Occasion', and added
.another testimonial in
behalf of Mr. Maurice's well known persever
ing efforts in the onwnritreauh of education:—
The warm attatehment- of his pupils was
observed by all. and gave assurance to the pa'-
rents, that they had selected a judicious and
successful teacher. The successful manner in
which the pupils acquitted themselves, earned
awards of praise from strangers, while the
high position of Plainfield school is deserved•
ly sustained —Mr M. has been connected with
the school for some years, and it bas — been
through his labors that its present popularity
-ha s-been-a t taitiedc -- 110 - deserve's ti - Higher roc,
ompenee than simply attestatiocs of merit.
The exhibitieu, in the evening- comprising
select Speeches,- dialogues, &c , was largely
attended and passed' off in a lively and cred;
itable manner, 'We noticed the presence of
our worthy Superintendent, whose valuable
labors have earned merited pridse. His in
dustry, his, freluent visits to the different
schools, his able and lucid instructions to teach

Q.
THE WIIRAT CROP AT TILE WEST:—Wo learn
from a gentlemen whcrhas traveled pretty ex
tarncively through the States of the Northwest
during the past six weeks that . the prospect of
the wheat crop was never bettor. In lowa a
large quantity has been sown, but so groat is
the emigration to-that State, and so rapidly
. did it fill up last season, that a large portion
of the surplus will be rexuired'for the new -
tiers there and iu Census and Nebraska.— •
Throughoet Illinois, it is represented that the
crop never lo)ked better. The high prices of
the last feiv years, and the almost c. rtninty
that there will be but little abatement during
the present year lave stimulated the faro e
to sow to an extent beyond former preced,cnt
And the same may be said of Wisconsin. The
prospect there is that the abundant crop of
last year will be succeeded by one equally as
good as this.—Chicago Tribune.
Pnivorrox COLLEOE.—We learn from n'eat
slogue recently issued that the whole number
of graduates rhus far is 3,090, and that there
are still living 2,023.. The first class, that of
1738, contained diX Members,. of whom five be
came-clergymen ; the sixth was a signer of the
Declaration of ludipendence. Among , the
gradutes there have been 1 President of tho
United States ; 2 Vice Presidents of tho Uni
ted States ; 13' Members of the Cabinet ; 12
Foreign Ministers; 82 Chief Justices of par
ticular States; 29 Governors of States; 82
Presidents . of Colleges.
R EIIATLICABLE INSTANCE OF PETRIFICATION.
—Mr. J. l'. Soy, residing near Germantown,
Ohio, recently disinterred the remains of
his wife, his grandchild, and other members
of his family; buried on his farm, in order
to inter them in the Germantown Cemetery,
and Ibund- that their bodies" - were - all more
or less petrified. The wife had been burled
twenty-four years, but the body was in an
excellent state of preservation. Upon a
close examination, it was found that the re
mains would not give way under the pres
sure of a piece of board which one of the
gentlenan placed upon the corpse ; and this
strange circumstance led to still further In
vestigation.. Tha shroud, end , indeed, all
the covering which was upon the body . at
the tirne•of interment, twenty-tburyettrs ago,
had disappeared—net a vestige of them re
maining. The body was perfe ct except the
right leg, from the nee to the ankle joint,
where the flesh seemed to have Wasted away,
and lay at the bottom of the coffin in a sub
stance reseinbling Sand. With this excep
tion of decay, the_body and limbs, exhibited
the same perfectness of exterior they
when life and animation were in the body.
The body, indeed, had been petrified t It
was by: sonic strange quality in the earth
and other causes, turned into stone or . a "
drab, or more properly speaking, du h et tor;
and the chisel of the artjst. Might immit ate,
but cenid"not make so elos,e a resemblance
to the human lortndivine.

A correspondent of the Newark Adverti
ser, writing,from Rome, says that a project
ed 'pilgrimage -to Jerusalem is now much
talked of in the city of the Clesars.' It is
thought that the present time, now that the
Turks are under the influence of their Chris
tian allies, is particularly auspicious for a
demonstration, in the Holy Land, and ac
cordingly a committee of arrangetnehts haS
been appointed, and are making active pre . -
parations for a great celebration there. In
their circular they say that their object is
• an effort to re-unite the two centres of the
faith—Rome .and Jerusalem—to carry back
the active life of the present heart of Chris
tianity to its original source," and they
confidently send an invitation Prom the
Eternal City to the faithful of the Oecident
to re-unitalir'the feast of Easter, near the
Holy Sepulchre." The • circular regileSfii
all who design to-join the',expedition -to eV
sethble at Rome, as a point of, 44epartur
and to .receive the benediction of the lIo4;
Father-before they start.
An °expedition to Jerusalem was also'
about to leave-Vienna shortly, and arrange;
melds had been Made by a religious society,
in that city by which pilgrims Might be car
ried at reduced prices. The duration of the
pilgrimage was to be two mouths, and thd
whole expense to each indi - vidual four lams
Bred, florins. Both of the above expedi,
lions were to leave for Jerusalem in the
latter part of March; and it. is a little siti-;
gular that on the lsth of. April. a, third ex-.
pedition—though not one of a similar char
