Too Dena.—lL is with sadness we record
this week the death door talented young friend
Joshua Kerr. He died in Florida, whither he
went some months ago, on account of his health.
His remains were brought home, and on last
Wednesday, were laid beneath the turf in the
-quiet churchyard ; and now '
There's mourning in the household—
There's a wail on the air of Nigl,t
There are crushed and broken spirits—
Crushed when their hopes were bright.
The fell destroyer's missioned,
Again are fond hearts torn,
Again, from the arms of affection,
A cherished one is borne.
There's joy among the angels—
There's music in the spheres—
Another has joined their numbers—
See I a white•rohed form appears I
And there, in his snint•like beauty,
He roams, a spirit blest,
"Where the wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary aro at rest I".
."Frxr,—FLITT No."---Our streets last week
aprosented a continuous commotion in every di
:rectieu. Wagons, a ith their "two.forty" nags
attalthed, loadened with household goods, driver
cozily treated on top with reins and whip in hand
ejaculating at the utmost of his voice, "gang
slang,' were to be seen and heard rolling along
.our thoroughfares, every half hour in the day.
Than, again, the noisy wheel barrow, propelled
steadily by some athletic youth, went creaking
along , the pavement to the great annoyance and
tliseomfture of the weary pedestrian. And last,
though not least in our estimation, came anoth
er grievs.ace,—com•busstible matter, which is
ready to ignite and kindle to a flame, from the
effects ofa single spark—the rosy-elseeked lass.
Heavers geoserve us from the ills, the troubles,

mass of his countrymen, and a gentleman who
crime with them from Philadelphia, says that
his wife seems to "think the world and all of

Extiturrtox.—We attended an exhibition gi•
yen in the Court House, on Tuesday evening,
by the young ladies of Female School No. 1,
under Charge of Miss C. T. Benedict. We
have rarely seen the Court RQOM so intensely
crowded as on this occasion, and we never saw
o better pleased audience. The young ladies
acquitted themselves admirably, conferring
great credit upon themselves, and their talented
teacher. The "Excelsior Band" enlivened the
occasion with their excellent music.

the resurrection of our Saviour we are .t able
to tell; but it is supposed by some that the cus

with the Russians, who *to this day, dye them
all manner of colors, and give them as pr,s

MERSKS EDITORS:-
About a year ago my attention was directed
to the growing popularity of Worcester's Dic
tionaries. At first I attributed their rapid rise
in the public favor to the enterprise and ener
gy of the present publishers, favored by the
known predilection of educationists generally
for changing school books, as well us the meth
ods of using them. I had long reganled Web
ster's Dictionary as the standard of ac curacy,
his Orthography and Orthoepy as almost uni
versally received by scholars in the United
States. No ordinary evidence could have
changed icy opinion on that point, or induced
me to investigate the claims of any rival
work But soon after the time above referred
to, evidence fell into my hands which no rea
sonable mind could resist. I found that Ban
croft, Prescott. Everett, Quincy and Washing
ton Irvin; Hon. John McLean, Bishop Potter,
Professor Hart of the Phila. High School, and
a host of leading literary men and Teachers in
the different States, have adopted Worcester's
Dictionary as their standard, and have volun
tarily and strongly recommended it to the pub
lic I As nothing short of blind prejudice
could reject such testimony, I procured a copy
of Worcester and by a patient and careful
comparison with corresponding copies of Web
ster, Walker and Cobb, for many years need
in my school, fully satisfied myself of the su
periority of Worcester over .y ono of the oth
ere ; and that he combines every thing velum.
ble in all of them, while he avoids some of the
inconsistencies of each. His vocabulary is
more extensive, his defluiti ens equally satisfac.
tory, and his orthography more conformed to
present, good usage, than either Cobb's or
Milker's. His system of notation is eq ually
simple, and inure accurate than Webster s, be
ing fuunded on a complete analysis of the vow
el sounds, as every one versed in phonetics
will sec at a glance. As ono of the principle
uses of a Dictionary in the school room is to
determine the proper pronunciation of words,
a correct system of notation is of much impor
tance. On the subject of Orthography I will
not pretend to say that Worcester is always
right and Webster wrong when they differ.—
None hut those who have devoted their lives to
the study of our language can bo considered
competent, in all cases, to decide between
them ; and probably even such umpires would,
in some cases, differ as widely as the authors
we are considering. But it requires no great
erudition to discover that Worcester's rules
and principles of Orthography are inure con
sistent, and less confused and contradictory
than Webster's. Of this .y intelligent teach
er, or other person tolerably acquainted with
the subject of orthography, cab lie fully usu.
• red by a very limited examination aid coin.
parison of the two authors. The cause of this
consistency in the one case and confusion in
the others is, I think, very obvious. . Woreesier
has evidently taken the language as he found
l it used by the best writers in England and
America, and adapted his rules to that usage.
' Hence his principles and practice are consist.
.t and natural. Whereas Webster has, as we
all know, attempted to reform our orthography.
He has laid down new rules which sustain Isis
innovations un certain words or classes of words.
But his application of these rules is limited, .d
his practice frequently comes in glaring conflict
with his principles. His inconsistency his more
candid admirers will admit, and many of them
will probably attribute it to the inherent imper.
feetions of our language, as I confess I did un
til I experienced IVercester. Whether the pe
rusal of this work will change other minds as
it has mine, I certainly cannot say. I can only
speak for myself .d ask others to examine
for themselves. I am nut thoroughly convinced
, that a consistent system of the orthography
and orthology of our language as it is, is pre
erable to a practice change which involves con-
I tradietion and confusion. Acting on this con
viction, I supplied my classes with two dozen
aid a half of Worcester and excluded all other
Dictionaries. We have been using the new
work since the beginning of the year, and I
have found no reason to regret the change.--
Until some bold reformer shall arise and sup.
plant all the present absurd s y s t ems of En
glish Orthography and Orthology, and bless
the world with a complete Phonetic system, I
shall expect no better system than Worcester,
and shall use no other. J. A. HALL.

NoTE.—Worcestor's Itoyal Quarto Dictiona
ry is now in press, and scholars who have ex•
emitted the proof sheets seem to ageo "that it
will be the fullest, most accurate, and most
cotnprehemivo dictionary of the nglish lam
guage ever published." I have not seen the
edition which corresponds with IVebster's Qum,
to, but there is no reason why it should not
sustain the reputation of the several smaller
editions. It will, however soon be in market
and have its merits tested. J. A. 11.

SCIIOOt. EX/UNTIE/N.—WO had the pleasure
of attending, on Friday evening last, tho 29th
instant, an exhibition of the school under the
charge of A.R. Miller at Eden Hill, near Spruce
Creek. On account of the length of the pro
gramme, the exercises commenced at the early
hoar of 61. The room was neatly and taste.
fully decorated, and was filled to overflowing.
The various recitations, declamations, dialogues
hr., were delivered in such a manner as to eli
cit universal satisfaction, and it is only doing
justice to the teacher to say, that great praise
is due him for the manner in which the exerci
ses were conducted, as this in the first time any
exhibition of the kind has over taken place in
this district.
One marked feature in the order of the ex
ercises was the reading of a paper pnblished at
the Eden School House, and entitled the 'Eden
Times.' It was edited by two young ladies of
the school, and contained essays, compositions,
poetry and witticisms, contributed by the echo
lars' and though lengthy, was listened to with
marked attention. Stewart's band was present
and enlivened the exercises withe excellent
music.
At the close of the exercises Mr. Miller bid
farewell to his pupils in an affecting manner,
and his scholars all felt pain in bidding hint
adieu, though only for a short time, as we en.
derstand that the citizens have been so well
pleased with his manner of conducting the
school, that they have determined to continue
it under his care.
Truly of him may it he said that he is a 'tea
cher for the times,' and we close hoping it may
not be the last time that the citizens of this
district will be favored with such a successful
exhibition. SPECTATOR.

PROFESSOR 0. J. WOOD—
DEAR Srn :-I.lllBoliCited, I send you this cer
tificate. After being nearly bald fora long time
and having tried all the hair restoratives extant,
and having no faith in any, I was induced on
hearing of yours to give it a trial. I placed my
self in the hands olio barber, and had my bead
rubbed with a good stiff brush, and the restora
tive applied and well rubbed in, till the scalp
was aglow. This I repeated every morning, and
in tlwenweeks the young Mit appeared and grew
rapidly from August last till the present time,
and is now thick, black and strong—soft and
pleasant to the touch ; whereas, belbre, it was
harsh and wiry, what little there was of it, and'
that little was disappearing very rapidly. I still
use your restorative about twice a week, and
shall soon have a good and perfect crop of hair
Now, I had read of these things—and who has
notl but have not seen hitherto any ease where
any person's hair was really henefitted by any
of the hair tonic, etc., of the day ; and it really
gives me pleasure to record the result of my ex
perience. I have recommended your preparation
to others, and already it has n large and general
sale throughout the Territory. The people here
know its effects, and have confidence in is. The
supply you sent us, as wholesale agents for the
Territory, is nearly exhausted, and daily inqui
ries are made for it. You deserve credit for
your discovery ; and I, for one, return you my
thanks for the benefit it has done me, for I cer
tainly had despaired long ago of ever affecting
such A result. Yours,

Dear Sir: having become prematurely quite
gray, I was induced, some six weeks since, to
make a trial of your Restorative. I hero used
less than two bottles, but the gray hails have all
disappeared ; and although toy hair has not yet
fully attained its original color, yet the process
of change is gradually going on, and lam in
groat hopes that in a short time my hair will be
as dark as formerly. I have also been much
gratified at the healthy moisture and vigor of the
hair, which before was harsh and dry; and It 11118
ceased to coma out as formerly.
