to be at length well nigh over. On Thursday
and yesterday we were cheered with deli,ghtlul
Spring.wcather with indications of its coniin.
Caere fur the balance of the season. The sun
shone out clear and warm, end so powerful
were it rays that the snow drifts were forced
iuto general liquidation, and their 'piles' ma
terially diminished. Sleighing was pretty es
sentially used up, and a return to wheeled vehi
cles once more rendered necessary to easy. loco
motion. The snow water poured down the gut.
tern in a continuous streets, and wherever im
peded by the frozen culverts, flooded the streets
in many places, particularly in the lower per.
tions of the town. A few days more of the
same kind of Weather will go far to thaw out
these obstructions. In the mean time the
citizens should elitist the operations of nature
by cleaning out the gutters and conduits in
front of their residences, and thus give the via .
ter free course to pens off with the least possi.
Liu datnage or inconvenience.

I have been tearing from my heart
The thought that thou lovest are
And one by arm I've bravely 'dueled
Hope's cony buds that grew far thee. •
Say, Gilbert, is this right?
Deceived and crushed, ah I was it meet,
From lips on purely loved as thine,
By words so mild, so sweetly spoke,
That thou shouldst wrong a heart like union
Say, Gilbert, was it right?
I nestled till any heart-strings grew
And entwined around thFfoliage fair,
Tiil earth had nothing bgght to share.—
And then, to crush my warm heart dots,
• Say, Gilbert, was it right?
And now with firm and heart resolve,
I'll breathe n long farewell to thee ;
With struggling heart refuse the vows
With which thou derma to flatter me
Say, Gilbert, is this riglit
Farewell my lore for thee was deep,--
- Sot thine was neither deep nor firm,—
That in so short a time would say
Thy love fur nie no more did barn,
Say Gilbert, is this right?

ant to the call of the State Superintendent, the .
School Directors of Huntingdon County suet in
the Court House in this borough, on last Thurs.
day, fur the purpose of taking in consideration
the propriety of increasing the salary of the
County Superintendent: Quite a respectable
'nuMbhr of Directors were Present, and dere of
the real, intelligtint stamp of gentlemen. After
addresses were delivered by several members
present, a vote was taken, when it was found
that a considerable majority of the Directors
were opposed any increase of salary.
We are not satisfied that ttea is the real sett.
timent of the Directors ; on the contrary, we
are confident that it is not. We are strength.
erred in this belief by conversation with some
of the principal opponents of as increase. The
true reason of the action of the .Board, in refu•
sing to raise the salary, is, in our opinion, man•
ifustly just and will meet with the approbation
of tho Wringers of the County. Whilst no
one will doubt that fur a proper attention to the
duties of ' County Superintendent, the present
compensation is entirely inadequate to meet
necessary expenses, yet we cannot but feel sat,-
Wind, and must agree with the Directors in
pronouncing it sufficiently I iberal, for the labors
of the present functionary, thus far at least.
lied the power been granted, we are dale
opinion that at least one hundred dollars of the
present salary would hare been thrown off.
Some of the Directors assured us that tl
were perfectly willing Is increase the pay
the Superintendent to eight hundred dolls
per annum, provided a cont s peleitt iudividi
eoold be obtained fur the post; but under I
present misrule, it was merely an expenditi
of money on the part of the county for a ben
olcnt purpose ;and we are inclined to the hel
that it is the lamentable truth.
