An Outrage Near Millersburg.

A dispateh from Goshen gives the particulars of a fiendish outrage perpetrated on Tuesday evening of las_t week. ‘Two girls, aged respectively fifteen and thirteen years, living near Millersburg, were on their-way to the village to iattend @ singing-school, when they, were met by a colored barber, named Buck, and one J olin Simpsom; & young white. man. [Thetwo ruffiaris seized the girls and, notwithstanding their cries, carried them into ?Xworkshop a short distance from the road, andoutraged their persons in the most shocking manner. After accomplishing their hellish work, the men fled, but=were pursued and overtaken by a posse of citizens who started safter them+ immediatély upon the ‘crime being: spiead through-the;vil Jlage.” They have since been lodged in the Goshen jail to await their trial. The greatest. excitement prevails in the vicinity of the outrage, and there are many who openly agitate the pro-

;;-pi'iety of _*h:inging the wretches. The %victims of the outrage are said to be in a very critical condition. - s Sl ?_.% 2 : : A good- Gdnvassing Agent éan find protitable employment by ecalling on J. H. Hoffman, at. the Book Store.

' OUR SCHOOLS. : ~ _An editorial in last week’s BANNER on “Our Cominon Schopl ,s;stem," was ‘eminently proper and its' substance should have been brought \befozﬁe the _people long ago. Its truth applies to the past-little more than to the pres--ent, while the present considers itself a long stride in advance. Progress toward perfection has been far too slow for the needs of the time, and for the money too freely expended. . . Bnt does this article go far enough? Is there not, in our better schools, much of which ﬁpﬁght to complain, and not rest satisfied until more or less is amended or remedied? Is there not too much of an attempt to find a royal road to learning, whichhas long since been declared to be non est? Superficiality, a hastening on of” the superstructure before the foundation walls have had time to concrete,

‘or without a proper foundation at all, seem to be the faults of the age, and the great effort of a true teacher should be.to counteract them. The old maxims, “Slow and. sure,” “Stoop | low and go safe,” are ignored in these telegraphic times, and the manner of rushing through an ‘education is beWildering to us students of an earlier daz“u— ot i s " Yook o ; " Probably the habit or tendency of the times to exaggerate the import“anice of the study of Mathematics, to the neglect of fundamental branches -equally esdéntial in our schools, is the most noticeable to a careful observer. This-is the*faull’ of parents many times, who, thinking their children -ean-have the advantages ‘only of the common school, and wrongly considering that if-‘they cai “cipher,” they can make their way through the world well enoughy.infeet both teacher and scholar with the pernicious doctrine. The scholar in time aspires to be a teacher, and he can teach that only which he has been taught. - If he is expert in “figures,” as often happens ‘under such culture, he becomes what ‘has beén called, with more force than elegance, “a mathematical fool.” ¥n | the upturnings of time incident to a | life in this country, our scholar scanty in his learning, after, it may be, _years 'of business relations with his fellows who hold him in high estimation, is called in various ways, to put ' his ideas onthe printed page.. How wretchedly deficient he is here—the poor printer is‘asked to make him appear well before the world—only the poor printer knows. If manuscript could always be followed verbatim, &c., the disciples.of Josh Billings would be found to belegion. = ° This particular defect is in our bét- - ter grade of schools; of course, notwin all alike. And not this alone. Too m'aﬁ*%f’%‘ur scholars, not brilliant in anything else, it may be, but the mathematical bump, are so defective:in reading and spelling, two, things es‘sential to any claim to edueation, that they are laughing stocks in their classes. . And teacher after teacher allows this defect without: any attempt to remedy! - Perfection 'in these two items alone, or an approximation to it, is of movre consequence- to the ease of | mind, to the well appearing of any person, than at first may be imagined. They are' the foundation stones on which all the supposed higher branches can be readily-built, and without these, with all else, a man seems but half 4 man. In these days of scientific explorations on land and sea, one must know well the geography of-the -world he lives in, if he would under- "1 'stand well what he reads. To con‘verse with his fellows, espeeially if he speak to his fellow-citizens and still mpre if he write for the press, ‘must he acquire a knowledge of the rules of Grammar, and for this latter. iten another important adjunct is necessary —the art of Composition. With the exception of the last, the seyeral studies before spoken of should ‘be kept in even leash, and make by it a well rounded scholar in all the public schools of the State. ! !

- Nothing less should be allowed by parent or guardian.: »Im a school like ours:in Ligonier and places of larger size, public schools, the art of Composition should bea regular study with those far enough advanced, and quite as necessary to the well being of the scholaris the study of his own animal system and the rules governing health andiife... One Other study. L. would suggest to-those'swho hdve compassed. this much if they are net able to go farther, and that is the Science of Government. -As persons who will soon have to take some part in the affairs of our State and Natiomn, our scholars shiould prepare for these imperative duties of manhood. If these | studies alone, could be well learned, generally learned, by the rising generation, how much more of capacity might wé 100 k for in generations' to' come. lam well aware that this subject is beyond my abilities, and I can 1 only plead my interest in it as my excuse. amp e B
