uie pains ot righteousness, whose paths are paths of
upon the day ot pentecost? We believe man is the lived, and the apostles spake as the spirt moved then, and the Savior abode upon the earth, God manifest in the flesh. Then why is it that man seems so tle.rcnerate m these latter days? Causes there doubtless are, but who can bring them to light? and, above all, who can evolve a correction ? Truly, we have fallen upon evil times, and man has sought out many inventions 1 In the progress of civilization, can it be so, that a certain point can be gained after which the ebb comes oil, when man passes back into barbarism, a,

gicrtwi u.,m lormeny r uan the increase of crime be
attributable, iu any degree, to the transcendental dog
mas that are caininr in the confidence of Amur-iron
' people, with their poisonous ofislmots, spiritualism, mesmerism, woman's rights, etc.? lint above all, cannot
tne great increase ot crane be attributed to the man
rnerol rearing the youth of our land ? That attention, that was once given our youth in keeping them away from the haunts of vice, is too often now bestowed by parents upon matters which they deem of greater importance, doubtless, but which alas, too often produce
ii-uius max turn to asties upon their lips. J low much this inattention may be attributable to the doctrine of woman's rights, now promulgated, we cannot say, but believe it to be in some degree. But the neglect in the training of our youth, is not attributable to any one class of individuals, for the times seems sadly out of joint, even iu the best regulated families. In this age of science, of progress, and money-making, the minds of parents may be too much taken up, with the accumulation of wealth, or weaving wreaths of fame, to give that attention to the tender, budding mind of childhood, to shape it and mat ure it for future beauty, vigor and usefulness. In this, does not a sickly sentimentality and pscudo refinement and mock sensibility usurp the place of common sense, genuine affection and good breeding ? The divine injunction, rear a child up in the way lie should go, and, when he is old, he will not depart from it, is set at naught
and the child is too often left to the influences of chance to mould and fashion his heart and mind for time and eternity. And that maxim, spare the rod and spoil the child, of Solomon, has ceased to be regarded as divine or efficacious, and free scope is given Young America to indulge unrestrainedly in anything that whim or passion dictates. The idea of parental restraint, coaporeal chastisement and moral, homestead training, seems to have been abandoned ; and hence, boys, and girls, as a consequence, at an early age, assume the prerogatives of men and women. The sweet lessons of childhood, and the endearments of the hearth-stone, of by-gone years and generations, are unknown to them, and they are thrown upon the world with minds unmatured, principles unsettled, and aims unfixed. Who will not say that the present system of educating the youth have not much to do with the present increase of crime in our land ? But not to any one cause can this tendency to moral degeneracy
be attributed, for the causes might be legion in number, and varied in influences. Still, let the causes be few or many, we see and realize fully the important fact that crime exists and is on the increase, and the great question is, how shall it be checked, and the existing evils corrected ?
THE CAREER OF A COUNTERFEITER. Some davs since we cave a brief account of a rol-
bery at Waldcn, in this county. We learn from ollicer Clark some facts connected with the case which are not without interest
It appears that for some weeks previous to the roljry, a man had been seen alxiut the village, having
apparently no business, who called himself J. 15. Foster, but from the description given of him, Clark was satisfied that the man was the notorious J. B. Shears, alias J. B. Bishop, who broke from the jails at India
napolis ana lSultulo during tlie last year. It was louml that he had forwarded a large trunk to his wife, (by the wife of his brother, Martin V. Shears) to a small place called Millersville, in Columbia county. -Meantime the house of M. V. Shears, at Waldcn, was searched, and there was found about $20 in bogus coin, and a quantity of implements for their manufacture. Martin was arrested, and Iodized in Newbury
jail, and Mr. Clark then started after the missing trunk,
which ho succeeded in findino- at the house of a broth
er-in-law of J. B. Shears, at Millersville. It contained some of the goods stolen from Scofield, Papron & Co.,
out ouears himselt was not to be found. t u learn the following facts in regard to Shears. About six or seven years ago, J. B. Shears came to Ncwbtirg, and went to work as a journeyman cabinet maker. After a short time he cot tired of it. and went
to work at carpenter work and worked for several of
our best builders, and about tlie last place ho worked was with T. G. Stanbrough, making piano cases. About that time he was detected making bogus coin, lie then left Kewburg for a better field to operate in. lie bought the right to sell papers on the Hudson River Railroad, and after staying on the railroad a year or two, he went to Chicago and opened a News ollicc, and commenced a bogus manufactory. He did not retail much of the "stull " himself, but sold it in
quantities at forty cents on the dollar. Things went cn swimmingly for about a year and a half ano. At
that time he was detected and sent to jail at Indianapolis for safe keeping, till he could be tried, but just bell.- A 1 1... - 1- 1 I '
lure uie liicu lie Buccceueu in urcaKing out. After Shears broke out, he became more bold and
went into the manufacture and sale' of bogus coin, and occasionally committed a burglary to keep his hand in. About three or four months ago he was eau"ht a"ain
and taken to Lock port, and from there to Bullalo Jail.
lie only staid there a few days. By the assistance of
the menus ot persons coiilineil m the same jail, he was furnished with pewter spoons, and with these he made kevs, and not only let, himself out of the jail, but he
also liberated eight others at the same time. Most of
the time since, he has been prowling around Newburt!
JSiew indsor, Waldcn, Montgomery, and through the back part of the country. On the night of the 42th
inst., lie robbed Scofield, Capron & Co., and Tuesday,
a jeweller, at Waldcn.
Whenever Shears got short of change, he would go
to the house ot some ot his brothers, and make all he wanted on the night of the iflth of November, he
made between $75 and $100, at the house of his bro
ther, Martin V. Shears, assisted by the said Martin. Martin was handed over to the U. S. Marshal.Newbury Daily News.
The foregoing reflections were forced upon our mind, whilst marking and considering the daily evidences of the increase of crime in our State, and it is to the question, locally applied, that we would address our remarks. It is said that a larger number of crim
inals fill our State's prison than at any former period,
and that the ratio ot their increase is tar beyond mat of our population. Iu view of this, the Governor in his message called the atention of the Legislature now in session to the subject, and recommends either the building of a new penitentiary or the enlargment ot the present one. Such a course would certainly provide for the increase of criminals, but is it not the duty of the law makers to take a step in advance of that position, and, if possible, devise means that would in some measure, at least, correct the growing evil of crime? We are assured that this subject has claimed the attention of some of our representatives, for wo perceive that Mr. Brown has already introduced a resolution to inquire into the expediency of establishin a House of Refuge for youthful criminals and ones of more mature age guilty of minor offenses. Although the number of adults that would be benefitted, niorallv, by such au institution would be small, a large number of the young would certainly be reclaimed from the paths of vice by it. The disgrace attached to a sentence to the penitentiary, is such that few, who have receieved it, have the moral courage, when freed from its walls, to face the world with an eye steady and with a heart buoyant enough to withstand the blichtin" effects of their degradation, and seemingly lost condition, in the estimation of the good and upright. The young are frequently, from one cause or another, caught within the meshes of the law and sent to the State's prison, whose hearts are not hardened with sin, nor their consciences seared beyond :i,ti: ,i c,.l, nprsims. ninetv-nine out ot a
hundred, are lost forever. The disgrace that overwhelms them, with the teachings ot old and hardened convicts, combined, blast their hopes and put them morally beyond the pale of redemption to society. A distinction should be made between the old and the aged and the young criminal, and the murderer and lifo-hway robber and the one guilty of a petty offense. The law makes one distinction, that of the greater and lesser penalty, according to the crime perpctrat 1, but the disgrace is the san.e-tl.c penitentiary is the home of each. . j . We are satisfied that a House of Re uge-a house of correction where the youthful cr.ni.na and oj.es guilty of certain light grades of crime, wi h the proper keeners and instructors, would be of ncakulable breneK erring humanity and the best mtore o the State at large, and to society general . The ex perimentof a House of R.m.ge has been 1'1e of our cities, and the results have been factory. True, it has TU idences of tg-stone redemption. Fh t' of ,,osition from

SHALL POSTAGE BE INCREASED ?
When the Government fixed the rate of postage at three cents, irrespective of distance, and obliged letter-writers to liav the postage in advance, imiet peo
ple, ignorant of polities, felt satisfied that "a finality"
had been reached, and that they would hear no more
of the postid system. It seems, from Mr. Brown's re
port, that we are as tar irom a settlement ot the ques
tion as ever, and that some now and startling change is impending. The Secretary himself recommends the
adoption of a uniform five-cent rate in lieu of the pres
ent three-cent one.
It is needless to sav that this proposal will meet with
no favor either from the public or from Congress. The
luxury ot cheap postage has been too thoroughly rel
ished to be now abandoned without a severe struggle.
It is contrary to all experience to retrograde in such
a matter. We may have a two-cent rate ; but never
a rate over three cents.
. Yet it is unreasonable to expect the people at large to pay three to four millions a year, as they are now
doing, for the support of the Post-oflice. It is not fair that the people of New York, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Ohio should be taxed to this extent for the sui-
port of unproductive mail routes in thinly-settled por
tions ol tho country. ' ' - -' N "
A large item might be deducted from the Post-office expenditure were a little common sense exercised by Congress in the regulation of the franking and ocean
mail systems. There is no roason why thousands of
dollars should be paid out every year as is ttie case
at present lor the dissemination, under congression
al franks, of party political documents. If the party
to be benefitted by the circulation ol these documents can not pay postage on them, let them stay where they are. It is monstrous to tax the people at large to pay for the transportation of tho Hon. Jones' views on Kansas, or the Hon. Smith's designs on Mexico. In
the second place, the sums paid.for ocean postage are
out of all reason, i We will not weary the reader by
presenting the statistics of our ocean postage; but we are not exaggerating when we sav that our ocean
steamers receive from the Post-oflice Department, on an average, one thousand dollars, for a service which they woidd gladly perform for ten dollars, or even five
dollars, tor any merchant. nere is no reason wny
mail matter should cost more to transport than Hour,
hardware, silks, or laces. It should be charged, like
other merchandise, according to bulk and weight; and no more should be paid for it than is paid for the
freight of the most perishable and valuable kinds of merchandise.' Avery large proportion of the Post-
office expenditure has grown out of the practice of
voting, from corrupt motives, large suuvenuons 10 ocean" mail lines. If these two leaks were stoped the requirements of the Post-master-General on the Treas
ury would be greatly reuueca. For the rest, rather than raise the rate of postage, we would like to sec the Post-office Department abol
ished altogether, and the business of carrying letters
placed on the same footing as that of carrying freight and passengers. AVe apprehend that no difficulties
would flow from a transfer ot the Post-oilicc business
to the express companies. They would carry letters
rnnro niomntlv than the Fost-ofhce. 1 hey would be
resnonsible lor their safe delivery, which the Post-
oflice is not. They would do it quite as cheaply, probal1v more cheaply. And were the national Post-oflice,
whli its fortv thousand hired servants, wiped out of
existence, one of the most fruitful sources of political
corruption would disappear. Harpers WecMey.
Is This Anybody's Picture ? lhere is neigh
bor S . He's content with Ins farm, and believes
that draining is too costly to be practiced, and sheds will not iav as a protection to stock. He leaves a di
lapidated fence in front of his dwelling, backed by a
row ot scraggy pcacli-trees. Ills woou-yaru is me space in front of the house, consisting of an unsightly pile of green logs, to bo cut up as occasion requires. His barn 1 the root decayed and nigged, with the boards
here and there missing from the sides ; an 0cn yard, where all winter a herd of lowing cattle may be seen,
pinched with cold, trampling their fodder under their
leet. llis tanning implements ! they are lew aim simple. Go into the road, and there by the fence here they are carefully placed when not in use you will see them. An old wagon with an older box stands there ready to drop to pieces by its own weight, a three cornered drag rests confidingly against it, while a lit
tle way olfis the plow, which by the wear and tear it is subjected to, might bu referred toany age since Me-
thusaleh. Neighbor S believes one plow will
answer lor all purposes, and all soils, and ttuiiKs new
inventions in this line humbugs, in the spring, uo yokes a pair of poor starved oxen, that have laiu out to freeze in his open yard all winter; hitches them to his
plow and proceeds to spring plowing, lie usually
gets into his field by letting down the fence ; an easy
task by the way, and that till he cannot easily make it worse. Ho usually begins in wet weather, as his team is too light to plow when it is dry. He plows shallow,
lor his team is not strong enough to plow deep, no
don't subsoil, it would take another team. A hen har
vest comes, he wonders why his fields yield but half a
crop.
Nicli are the men I will not say farmers who dis
grace the pursuit of Agriculture. But their number is lessening. Stupid indeed must be the man who in this age docs not improve. Erery appliance science and art can bring, is placed iu the hand of the farmer.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
Mii. Editor, : It has long been a mooted question
who struck Billy Watlei-son, but a vastly more import
ant one has just transpired in which the American
people, at present, feel considerable interest, namely '
To whom did that odd Shirl belong, which was found in possession of Senator Douglass, at tho close of the late Illinois canvass.
His accomplished Lady lately informed the public
that she had supplied her husband at the commence
ment of the canvass with twenty-four good new linen
shirts, and at its close Mr. Douglass came out with only three, including the one in question, which would
appear that during that memorable canvass he had split or rendered useless twenty-one; but how he came by the odd shirt is rather a serious matter with
liis friends and the people generally. Any information, Mr. Editor, you can give concerning this odd shir1
affair, will greatly obligo CoTTON DiCKKY.

Tk a vkl by-Overland Mail-Coaches. Sneak-
in of tlie arrival of the eighteenth Overland Mail
from San Francisco the 1st. .Louis Uepubhcan says: Kin the Overland Mail lias indubitably proven it
self a cheap, speed v and secure means of travel, the . 1 it . ' T A I All,n. ..I.nni
rush at oan xrancisco, ios nujco,uu uuni u. , to obtain seats in the coaches has become tremendous. When our informant left San Francisco not less than one hundred persons had made application at the office of Mr. McLean, the acnt there, for passage. So eaer and importunate were they to secure passage that they had adopted the course of deckling by lot who was to go and who was to stay over. To facilitate this, and be as impartial as possible, tlie agent would not accept engagements for seats more than two stages ahead. Every few days, therefore, there were places in a third to be drawn. About half way over the route a passenger was found at a way-station, where he had stopped to lay over for a few days nearly a month previously. As all the succeeding stages came by filled with passengers he had been unable to get on again to complete his journey on to St. Louis. . At the time the late mail ar
rived tliere newas su wun wum uui itiuiijii3ioiiitbi. ing spell that he ottered a large bonus for his seat, but failed to get it. Hold Water to Cuke Scalds. A writer in the
Ohio Cultivator says : " I placed a large tub full of
water with plenty ot ice m it, by the side ot a large Vetlle full of water which was boiling very fast. I
then rolled up my sleeve above my elbow, and thrust
my arm into the kettle ot boiling water up to my elbow, then immediately back into tlie tub of ice-water,
lettino- it remain there a few seconds, then into the boilinrr water again, repeating tliis process ten times in a minute, without injury or inconvenience, not even makinf my arm look red. From this experiment, I
anrro-est the propriety of using cold water baths imme-
directely after being scalded. Cold water is allways
handier than hot water. 1 he. sooner cold water is applied after scalding, the surer will be the cure."
