The Post Office Department.
The entire receipts of the Post Office De
partment for the fiscal year ending on the 30th
of Tune last, are stated at $6,373,044, being an
excess of $350,000 ones the receipts of the pre•
vious year. But the extension of the mail ser
vice and the increase in the expense of trans
porting the mails, have been proportionally;in
creased, and caused the outlay to exceed the
revenue. So that there is yet something want
ing to render the Post Office a self-sustaining
department. Taking into view its benefits to
all classes of people there is no service to which
an appropriation should be more cheerfully ae.
corded.
Bearding the Lion.
The Grood Duke Constantine seems to have
some of the rigor and boldness of liis father.
the Emperor Nicholas. It is stated in a Paris
papr, in a letter from St. Petersburg, that in
a council arctic he proposed to arm and equip
the whole fleet of Cronatadt, Revel, and Swea•
bore, to embark 20,000 men of picked troops,
to make sail at a propitious hour, to force a
passage through the Allied squadrons, or await
their departure, and the moment they left the
Baltic to effect a lauding in Scotland or Eng
land. The Empress opposed the enterprise,
and the Emperor hearkened to hiS wife's advice.

In Mifflin county, reccutly, a Justice of the
Peace summarily cenvieted n number of per

doing the Work necessary to keep in blast the
anthracite furnace of Elting, Graff Jo Co. The
cam was remanded to the Court of Common
Pleas of the cote by writ of Wail raii, and
this tribunal, after a careful review& of fut.,
reversed the decision of the Justice of the

Must Read and Write. '
Connecticut has adopted a constitutiMial pro
vision which' disfranchises all in that Store who
are not able to read and write. This seems to
hu in er...we with the growing sentiment
of thiii country. loorance is at war with the
yettitt, i f our institutions ; and a person who
is not able to read the Constitution or lima of
the country, it strike, us, would not make a ve.•
ry competent person to pose upon the merits of
legislation. Ruch is now the progress among
us that there is no longer any excuse for utter
illiterateness. The poorest child has opened to
him the means of education, and allure invited
to conic and partake freely at the fountain of
knowledge, without money and without price.
Those who neglect this offering cannot expect
to become good and useful citizens. It is the
duty of every one in a free land like outs to be
diligent in reading, so that he may matte him
self acquainted with the current history of the
times, and exercise the glorious privileges of a
freeman with intelligence and independence.—
Knowledge among the people is the only safe
ty for prolonged Liiierty, and ever good citizen
should foster its growth.

of fifty men, who were taken from San Fran

Pay of Jurors,
There is a general - murmuring among the
Jurors who attend court, at the inadequacy of
the per diem. The law allows one dollar Per,
day, and six cents mileage going and returning.
This is barely sufficient to pay the landlord's
bill, and not enough to pay the bootblack. A
juror comes to town and is obliged to send
home his horse and vehible because he can't af•
ford to be out of pocket. A Juryman who is
obliged to neglect his farm at home—to leave
his plough, his hayfeld, or his seeding—com•
plains very justly that he is obliged to serve the
•public at great inconvenience, and be out of
pocket. Frequently he is subjected to great
loss by neglecting his own business, for Court
alma ye comes at a""busy time," and the Judge
nerer will "excuse" him unless he takes physic
and makes himself sick I The pay of a Juror
should be $1 50 ; this would pay his tavern
bill, and leave a small balance atthe end of the
week, to buy a dross to take home to his "bet•
to half," and a few nick•nacks for the "little
ones." Ilis'"welcome home" would be none
the less cordial for these little acts of remelt'.
bran.: to the domestic circle. We commend
this subject to the attention of members of the
Legislature ; and most cordially recommend
them to cut down their own pay to the old stan
dard of $3 and to raise that of Jurors to $1 110
and witnesses also to a dollar.
The pay of a witness, which is only 62 1 cts.
per day, is insufficient to pay his boarding bill.
It is manifest that paying one dollar per day,
of a tavern bill, and receiving but 1321 cents in
return, in serving one's country under (Moul
ting ; in fact it's a bore, and we wonder why
our good citizens bare not moved in the mat
ter long ago.
THE DARK DAYS 'WORE CIIRISTMAL-This
is the time for the"darkdays before Christmas"
so often spoken of, and which come around so
regularly about this season, when the son is in.
no hurry to get up, and when 'might acts in ere
afternoon is out." On such days as these,
when heavy wiutry clouds veil the face of his
solar majesty during the few hours he deigns to
favor us with his presence, light is at • a premi
um. On such days the dwellers in close courts
nod narrow alleys have to hug close to their
windows to ply their needles even nt mid•day,
while gas lights are kept constantly burning in
back offices, and in the inner recesses of city
storehouses.. "The dark days before Christ
mas" add nothing to the troubles ofthe dwellers
in luxurious homes, or to the cares of those who
have gaslights to dispel the gloom. But the
"dark days" are dark days indeed to those
whose lives are a constant struggle with poser ,
ty. There is little enough of light and cheer
fulness for the very poor, even when the sun
shines brightly, and the air is mild: but when
heavy clouds hide the sun and snow flakes fill
the air, the "dark days" become terrible. Dear
food, scanty toil, and many wants come with
winter, and the "dark days" arc a type of the
sorrow that comes in its train.
Outward darkness only serves to make inner
darkness more bright and cheerful, and to ma•
ny the "dark days before Christmas" have a
whovnly exchange the outer darkness for a
gloom more intense when they go within their
own poor homes. Those who have light to spare
:should let some of it shine in the dwellings of
their less fortunate fellows, and chemr them
through the "dark days," both before nod after
Christmas.
WALKIIII IN CENTRAL AMERICA.—it is said
that a plait has been started by Walker and
others to combine all Central America under
one government. It is the old Central Ameri
can Confederation revived, and seems likely to
succeed. Honduras and San Salvador send
Commissoners to consider the plan, and Costa
Rica and Guatemala will be compelled to come
into it, if unwilling. Gen. Walker will have a
large empire there yet ; and, it' ho can induce
the Anglo• Saxon race—the Yankees in prude
ular—to settle there in sufficient numbers, it will
yet become a powerful and prosperous republic.
Its commercial position is of groat advantage,
and its soil and minerals of great value.

The word Kantas has become extremely fa.
miliar to the public eye, from the fart that mat
ter enough to fill an octavo volume or two is
presented daily in the papers on subjects con
nected with the politics of that Territory. But
with politico we have nothing to do. Our more
useful hut less pretentious task is to dispense
information, derived from the excellent little
work before us, "Max. Green's Survey of the
Great Kansas Region." To that country thou.
sands aro looking as their future honk. Already
thelide of emigration sets Kanzas.warcl, and
just as soon as the political destiny of the Ter
ritory is settled, it rival, lowa, Wisconsin, and
Illinois in the rapidity of its advancement.—
Mr. Green's work appears at the right moment.
It makes us acquainted with the value and im
portance of Kansas at the vety time when its
political character is to be decided for many
generations.
The Territory of Karim contains eighty
one millions of acres, of which about one fourth
is barren or mountainous; The remainder fer_
tile in various degrees. The greater part of
the arable land is prairie of Illinois, nod in no
respect inferiot to it. The climate, however,
more nearly res embles that of Virginia,

A wide distribution of the work at the pros.

GEOFFREY MONCTON.—By hire. Moodie. De
Witt & Davenport, Now York.
The brilliant author of "Roughing it in the
Bush," has produced a work worthy of her ge
nius, and one which will make her still better
known and appreciated in every family of in
telligence throughout the land. Good as all
her other stories are, this far exceeds them all
in beauty of conception, and the thrilling inter
ests which is excited for the unfortunate vic
tini of an uncle's treachery.
The heroine of the story, the sweet Marga
ret, is a beautiful creation of all that is lovely
nod feminine in woman, such a one as we may
imagine the author to have been herself in her
youth, ere hardships and trials bad dimmed
law eye and furrowed her brow, but it is evi
dent that all this has neither chilled her hear t
nor rendered her insensible to anything that
is beautiful in nature or art. There is a charm
about her writings that carries ns along like
magic, till reaching the end we unconscio only
exclaim "is this all'?" and with regrets we lay
aside a volume which has held us entran
ced from title page to finis. By a liberal ar.
rangement on the part of the Publishers, the
work will be printed first in this country, the
author receiving a copyright, and the proof
sheets sent to Bentley, of London, to be issued
simultaneously with its appearance here.

MESSRS. EDITORS :--I notice in the last IMO
of your paper a call for a meeting of the Mtn
timgmt County Teachers' Institute on the 24th
and 25th days of the present month. This call
purports to he "hy order of the Executive Com
mittee," which is certainly a mistake. There
is, in fact, no such committee in existence, Mr.
Baker being dead, Mr. Bail having ceased to
act, and the vacancies never haying been filled.
The very late date of the call is another rea
son why I think there is something wrong.—
The constitution of the Institute expressly de
clares that thn arrangements for these meetings
shall be !nude, and a programme of business
to Ito transacted, published at lost sin weeks
kfore the time fixed fur such meeting; and a
portion of these preliminary arrangements de
volves on the Board of Managers, who, in this
case, appear not to have taken any action what
ever.
The unsuitableness of the time fixed for this
!fleeting is another presumptive, if not positive
evidence of a mistake somewhere. Christmas
is a day of general pleasuro•taking, and tenth
ers, whh nll their self-sacrificing devotion to: the
interests of their profession, can hardly be ox.
petted to forego the enjoyment peculiar to this
season. They, like other people, will desire re
laxation from business, and the luxury of visi
ting and entertaining their friends, attending
parties, ke. The little coterie of teachers in
the town of Huntingdon, who can enjoy their
friends and the meeting all at home, may be
pleased with this arrangement, but I apprehend
that very few teachers in other parts of the
county, will feel suited, or find it convenient to
mtend. I hope, therefore, that the !fleeting
will be adjourned to a more fitting season, and
that the requirements of the Constitution will
be observed in its future announcement.
