Extracts from the Annual RTert of the Superin tendent of hogs Co. , We do not, forget that: there is much educational work done by other agen cies than the Common Schools in this County. \ Next , to the primitive log school house the Wellsboro Academy is the oldest Seminary of learning. With a varied fortune for about half a century, , it has sent forth many useful men and worrier': 'Deerfield Academy, under the 'preAidency "of Prof. licirton, - is worthy 'its good name and success. Our Nor 'mai School at'Mansfield, is making it self felt in diffusing much light and • life in the Common Schools of this, and adjoining , counties and in several other States. With its Model School for or- Planed children (of soldiers) educated by the State, ,it has about three hun dred scholars'. Its President, F. A.' Al len with the board of experienced in structors are the surest pledges of suc cess. Private or as they are sometimes called, select schools are educating four or five hundred children, in part supple mentary to the short terms of our Com mon Schools, for which service the teachers are paid nearly two thousand dollars, in rate bills from two to four times as high per scholar as are the bills for our public schools paid by the public. And if all our District Schools are not as good as any . private school• can be made there is no reason why they should not be. Clergymen and Sabbath school teachers; in almost one 'quarter of the school houses of the ebunty,-are gathering the people and children together even Sabbath for re ligious instruction.. And these with their Sabbath School libraries; consti tute a most powerful agency 1 as well for the intellectual as the moral etiuca tion of our population. The value of school houses, exclusive of Seminaries in our county is just about $75,000. IThe value of churches in our county is a lit ' tle more than SlOO,OOO, and about equal mto the value of all our buildings fal' in tellectual education. The annual, ex pense for schoolingdistrict acadk.unic and privateschools--varies butlitt le from $lOO,OOO. Owing to the voluntary and gratuitous nature of religious] instruc tion in churches and sabbath I schools, the annual expense to the people is not so much by nearly or quite one-half as wo estimate it.. Beside the agencies al ready mentioned, the press ; in a weekly issue of two county - newspapers, freely publishing educational and religious, as well as political matter is doing much toward making us a reading people.—i. The press,- the school house and the . pulpit; these reaching all classes of our „people, and controlled by intelligent and , highi,minded men, are the best agencies known for a eh ristian c 4 -,.. ._ iv riliza tion. ._ There are obstacles in the way of im proving our Common Schools which we think will eventually be removed ; " 1. The want of:qUalitied teachers will be removed as soon its we are able to pay better wages, 2; The discrepancy between the . wages of male and female teachers of equal qualifications will yield to a bet ter understanding of the adaptedneBs of females to the peculiar work of the: school room. I 3. The prejudice against public schools ' lieCaus of their agrarian tendency is a harder thing to overcome. Even our - A.meri auism can not educate the spirit of caste out of all of us. It is a part of land n li-donaoorati our depravity, though anti-republican /1 ct. 4. U equal taxation is a very hard thing or Americans to gat used to. 5. Unpaid labor of school Directors and too many of -them by one-half.— This retards the business transactions of all our school boards in rural dis tricts, and operates very unfortunate ly against our school. system in many _places: 0. Unfortunate location of sch oo 1 houses and too many of then), because parents prefer to send their children a few rods to half. a school, and a poor one at that, rather than to let them go two miles to a whole school and a good one. 7. Constant change of teachers from one school to another, because they do not, by the excellency of their teach ing, fasten themselves to the hearts of parents and teachers as a necessity. 8. Want of a uniformity of books. We have been solicited to call a con vention of school directors to consider this matter. But next spring they will all be called together for another pur pose and we respectfully suggest that they then come prepared to unite on text books as far as practicable. For among such a variety of good books it is of more consequence that we have a uniformity, than that we have the very best. (to be continued.) THE WONDERFUL SPRING. —T h e editor of the Griffin Star, after paying a visit to Upsom county, gives the fol-, lowing account of a great natural curl osity of Georgia : "The finest grand point of interest was the famous Thundering Springs, located in the northern part of the country, about twelve miles from Tho maston. We expected to find quite a curiosity, but were completely amazed to find so remarkable a freak of Mother Nature as this spring. It is located in the wildest part of the mountains ex tending through the country, and there, in the solitude of the wilderness, pre sents a most remarkable phenomenon. The dimensions of the spring proper are about five feet in diameter, and of an unknown depth, for experiments have repeatedly sounded its depth in vain, and no bottom can be reached. The water boils up' with great force; bubbles of gas constantly rise up through the water, and explode at the surface. This gas is highly CoMbusti ble, and is frequently set on tire as °it 'makes its escape. Such is the force with which-the water rises, that a hu man body cannot sink but is buoyed up in a standing position. It is a famous bathing-place, and we took the first opportunity to plunge into this bottom less well.- There we, -could stand up right four hours, With nothing to sup port us but water. The earth around the spring is a beautiful white sand, of very tine grain, giving away readily at touch 9f the foot, but immediately re forming as before. The walls of the 'well are perfectly symmetrical, as if dug by the hands of man. As low, down as we could reach with our foot, we could kick a hole in the wall, and, as soon as the foot was removed, the wall would immediately reform as be-, fore. The temperature is delightful, apd the watersarein valuable, especially for diseases of the skin and blood. The spring constantly makes a low, rum bling noise, from which It derives its name. Two sons of Erin were standing by a• hydraulic press supreintended by a friend of mine, when one called out to another: "Jim I'd like to put ye un der and .squaze the (Evil out of ye."— " Would you include, my boy?' was the answer : it squaze the divil out of you an' there'd be nothing left. _ • " You and your wife should become one," said a friendly advisor to a hen pecked husband. "Become one I" ex claimed the henpecked " why, we are ten now." " How so ?' " She's 1 and I'm 0." J. F. C;ALKINS, Co. Sup't. co NTity •Mkati3lANTS Dairkinen, Farmers and Others.

Steve. AFTER twenty years experien6 in the man ufacture of stoves, wo bocqine convinced, some six years since, that a vast amount of money was being expended by the people of this country, in buying cheap and wordless stoves, a large portion of which wall wast , oci; and that true economy consisted in buying the best stoves that could be made, notwithstanding the price was higher. With this view we proceeded to construct the American Cooking Stove, and spared no pains or expense to make it the best and most perfect stove that could bo made. And we have experimented with it, and carefully Watched its operation for the last six years, and when an improtement suguested itself, we have at once adopted it, and wo have several of these 1 11 . improvements Secured by letters pate t. In this manner wo do not hesitate to say, e have brought it to a higher state of perfocti n than has heretofore been attained in cookin stoves. The recent improvements in this st ve has added largely to its convenience and e ective ness. In all the varieties of )stoves we manu facture, we study usefulness, durability conve nience and economy in operation, rath r than cheapness in price, and in so doing we are satis fied we study the interest of those purehasing our stoves.
