SCHOOL VISITATIONS, A monthly report cf the operations of the County Supf rititendency is required by the State Superintendent for the information of the Department, as well as an annual report for publication. It b also proper that the citizens of each county should be informed frcm time to time, through the public press, of tha loctj.'. operations f the ofuce. This pol icy br.s been recommended by the State 'Su p:rintcn lent. Accordingly, by the courtesy of the editors of the country press, I will, at suitable iub-rv-is, communicate t3 the people of Cambria county the manner in which the duties of my office are performed.

It is believed that but four or five unvisi ted schools are now in sessioo, anl these are scattered" throughout the county In addition to the 40 schoob above enume rated, two school exhibitions ia Coaemaugb township were attended one at Jaccby's schoolhcu-c on tli 3 evening of the Oth inst.. and the other at Gossarts sch-ulhcuse cn the J evening of the 13th inst. Mr. Joseph llol sopple was the teacher in charge of the for mer school, ann Mr. George Stineman the teacher ia charge of the latter. Both exhib itions were creditable to teacher sad pupils, and both were well attended by parents and citizens generally. Brief aodresses were de livered at these exhibitions, as well as ia 35 of the 4Q. schools visited. My acknowledgments are due the follow ing persons for extending to me the hospital ities of their homes when even a "wayside inn" could not bo reached : Francis Bearer, Susquehanna, George Walters, White. Rich ard J. Proudfoot. Chest, Wm. Douglass, Carroll, Gordon Sinclair. Carroll, M. F. Wagner, Allegheny. W. W, Harris, Jack son. Abo to tho Sisters of Mercy of Lorctto, for the courteous manner ia which I was re ceived bv them, aa l to Aaron Sherbin3 of j Summcrhill, for taking a horse out of his team to place at my service. Also, to J. Pulton Thompson, and Major Marlett, for their generous aid in he'tping me ca my jour ney oa the 22od of February. Tbe school visitations for tha winter may now be t-aid to be closed. The next subject that will engage my attention will be the or ganization of permanent Teachers Institutes ia every section of the county. The sugges tions of teachers upon tub Eulject are respect- fully solicited, and will be carefully consider- ed. I will be glad to hear by mail from tea- chers in the remote districts of the ccuctv.

A female ele phant, belonging to a gentleman in Calcutta, who was ordered from the upper couu'ry to Chitagong, oa the route thither, broke loose from her keeper, and making her way to the weeds, was lost. TLt3 keeper made every ex cuse to vindicate himself, whteh tho master cf animal would not listen to, but branded the man with carelessness, or something e!.-e; far it was instantly supposed that he sold the ctepaant. lie was iriea ior 11 ana ccnaem lcu to work oa the; roads fr life, and bis wife and childrea were sold f r slave1. Ab out twelve years afterwards, the man, who was known to be well acquainted with break ing clepbauts, was sent into the country with a paity to assist ia citching wild ones. They came upoa a herd, an! this man fanciel he saw among the group, his long-lost elephant for which he had been condemned. He res olved to approach it cor could the strongest remonstrates of t'efe party dissuade him from the attempt. Having readied the animal, he srxike to her, when shs immediately recogni zed his voic; she waved her trunk ia the air as a token cf salute, and spoatanc-ou-ly bid down and allowed him to mount 1 n;k She afterwards assisted in taking other clc rhant, and decoyed three young ones t 1. tW -! . . which she gave birth ia her absence. TLe ! keeper returned, anl the singular circumstar c i atteuding the recovery being told Lc reaiaod Lis caaractcr; and, as a recompc-nce for his unmcrit3d suflerings had a pension settled cn him for life.
