The Philadelphia /Ve.s.s displayed great
journalistic enterprise in its description of tlie
Git ANT entertainments in that city, li issued
a double sheet on Tuesday, containing into -
esting sketches of the General, and a sueeint
history of his trip around the world, accconi
panicd by a map showing the line of his
journey. The Presx is entitled to a generous
support from the ltcpublicons of Pennsyl

The Eov a I Sock coal grows in favor as its
good qualities become known. There are
many good reasons why this coal should take
the lead, as it does in this market; it burns
more freely, retains tire longer and is sold
much cheaper than the Wyoming anthracite
coal. Mr. 3TALLOKY, who is agent for the
Loyal Hock, very considerately keeps the
price down, a fact which should be appreci
ated by consumers.

Superintendent's Notes.
Dee. 15tll—Visited the following schools of
Canton township: Briggs, Geo. Andrews;
Fuller, C. Harding: Casper, Challeii Rey
nolds. Reports of schools are favorable. Ob
served good order and faithful work. New
books have recently been adopted for this
township, and the pupils are, with scarcely
an exception, supplied. The directors are
entitled to much credit for thus furnishing all
the pupils when hooks are adopted, instead of
making matters worse by supplying part.

To the end, in mortal strife;

And the praises for the victory
To our Lord shall never cease.

Let ID rouse—the day is breaking—
Rouse against the hosts of hell.

The aim that young tallies should lmve in
view with regard to their dress i- neatness
and simplicity. It is on ihis account that the
French are so justly famous for their good
taste. Young French girls are never seen in
rich silks and satins, or heavy and costly ma
terials. To he well dressed does not depend
on a lavish expenditure of money, hut on the
selection of suitable colors which harmonize
with the complexion, and fashions which set
off a perfect figure or hide the defects of one
less perefeet. lie suitably attired for the oc
casion, for the weather and the time of day.

There is but one time in the year when di
rectors can adopt a new series of text hooks
for the schools under their charge, or change
old ones, and that is between tin- lime of
electing teachers and the opening of the
schools. Section 2d. Vet of M. y I. Is.Vf, says;
"That immediately after the annual election
of teachers in each school dis*. riet of the state,
and hefere tlie opening of the schools for the
ensuing term, there shall he a meeting of the
directors or controller' and teachers of each
district; at which meeting the directors or
controllers shall decide upon a series o.f school
hooks, in the dillercnt branches to be taughi
during the ensiling school year; which hooks,
and no other, shall ho used in the schools of
the district during said period."
Such is tln* law, with this exception, that
■ looks cannot now lie changed more frojucnt
i\ than once in three years.
