In this Township on last Saturday, an!jjut now it has been ascertained that.

election was held for the purpose of vo- j ting a school tax. About 120 persons ' voted, about two-thirds ot wnom voteu against any school tax being levied this year. The people generally in the country appear to be opposed to the Free School system. And those who hare no panic-

We trust that our good citizens will look candidly at this matter, and all we ask ol them is to do what they think will, in the end. be best for all concerned. CELEBRATION. We hear various rumors about celebrating the National anniversary in this county, at different places, but so far there has not been anything done (to our knowledge) towards having any celebration in this town. We are told that some of our citizens purpose going to SouthBend, some to Rochester, some to Maxinkuckee Lake, and to divers other pla tes on that day. This they have a right j to do. We did look for a different tu in this time, for some of our citizens had about fome to the conclusion that Plymouth was eomc place. But from what we hear our thriving village will be almost deserted at the lime strangers would naturally expect to find us oil at home, and our neighbors from the couutrv here on a visit. If our citizens w ill take hold of the matter we can have an interesting lime, but if they scatter off to to the four winds (at least those who can go,) howwill it be?

For the Danner. THE EYE AND THE EAR: TlIElB RESPECTIVE PROVINCES IS ELEMENT A XIX INSTRUCTION. The methods of instruction in our pri-

j mary schools, are beginning to be regard ed as of great importance. When children were sent to school to get them out of the way, but little attention was paid to the manner n which they were taught. The chief end of the school was accom1: jl.Pil even if lhpv learned nothing. j ...vf - w . - - " J - C u hile children should not be sent to school t lOQ gar, a ge ami should not be ronGnej to lhe school room Ion ata - KM lime, yet whatlitt'e instruction is given should be imparted with great care. It is but a very little they need at first, but that little should be of the choicest quality. We are clearly of the opinion, that rudiments of learning, than in guiding the punil through the more advanced brancheg We are speaking of the prop, k üf jstrUction .not ofcaiui nc the attention of children, or exciting their interest. These aie highly important, as preliminary to instruction, but they are not the thing itself. It is to b feared, that many primary teachers jQ not oprreciate the difficulty of their wor, anJ are real,y . aQl how unsuccessful they are. They teach as they were taught, not dreaming that they could gain from books, any assistance in teaching a child to read, but little Uo they thiuk of books to inform themselves, and stiH less do they think of the resp;,nij them6eWea lhe jBy : . r t . , ., t , nrt i they first entered the school room as fcacA- . . ., r 'era. Thus they are none trie wtser for j . , . , , . .... ; the admirable suggestions contained in , , r n . . n , the works of Lmrrson, Palmer and Pa"? works, ol which it is absolutely unpardonable for a teacher, in these days, tobe ignorant. And, possibly, some, who have read these and other treatises qq elemenUry instracliüklf have thought th hc me,hülU lhereill recommended. though successful as practiced by fome teachers, would fail in the hands of otheis; and go, after a feu feeble efforts, they return to the hackneyed modes. We believe there has been art error in relation to improvements in education. They have been recommended, because of the success which has attended them, rather than as based on correct princi pies. Hence, many teachers are very slow to adopt any new method. They wait until it shall be found to be successful in a large number of cases. It may urn out to be no improvement at all, and they prefer to let others make the necessary experiments, while they await the issue. This feeling has been fostered by the differences of opinion sometimes manifested, evui by eminent teachers. One is quite positivs as to the excellence of a particular mode, for he has succeeded with it far better than with any other; another is quiteas positive in praise of a different mode; and for the same reason, he has found it successful. There is danger of empiricism in education, as in medicine. We need to look more at principles. It is not enough to say of a method, that it is successful why is it successful? Ileal improvements can be shown to be so, aside, from the certifi ; lrotn the sihool room because A. and B. confidently declere that their expeiiencej is all against it. there can be no real conflict between theory and practice. True, a poor practitioner may always be unsuccessful, however good the theory. But that method, w hich on the whole, is the most successful in practice, we may be certain is the best in theory; and that. ,. . , , .. . . ,J on the other hand, which in its support. can marshal the strongest argument! drawn from the nature ot the human mind, will be victorious in the severest tests of actual trial. We propose to examine some of the modern improvements in education, in order to ascertain, if possible, whether they are based on admitted principles, und if so. on what. In doing this, we hope to show the importance of the eye and the ear, as ttie great inlets of knowledfee to the child; and the necessity of careful inquiry as to which is the proper inlet in a given case. It will not be deuied that these two sense are the principal organs by which knowledge is acquired, and it is through these, especially, that the teacher seeks to communicate instruction. To which of them shall we assign the chief place in the begiuningofthe educational course; and how shall we adjust the balance between them, so that the child shall acquire knowledge with the greatest rapidity, and be able to use it to the best advantage? What branches can be taught most rapidly and thoroughly through the medium oT the eye. ami what through that of the ear? A few years since, a spelling recitation was almost exclusively an oral exercise; now, in the best schools, it is conducted, to a very considerable extent, by writing. It was found that the best viva voce epl!r wre of?n td)y t fault hen

they attempted to write; and that those kvho had been accustomed to letter-wri

ting, or to the frequent use of the pen in any other way, had the best practical knowledge of Orthography, spelling on slates ami the blackboard was tried, and with success. In every good school, this method has superseded the. onl method, with those pupils win tan write. Now, is this improved method of spelling empirical, or could its superiority, in practical results, have been predicted before trial? We think the latter. What is the. object in learning to spell? Why is it desinble to know of what letters and in what order, a word is composed' That when we have occasion to write, we may know letters to employ. Of course. if each letter in a word represented a particular sound, the found of the word would suggest the letters composing it; but this is not the case with our language. and it is of that, as it is, we are now i speaking. While I am writing, which sense, the eye or the ear, shall be the j judge as to the proper letters in a word? j The former, certainly. If. as the pen j did .v..r th na-t the eve can detect in- i it stantlv when a letter U misplaceilor omit-

The eye, therefore, which is to ', be the judge of his Liiowleuge of ortuo-;-raphy uftcr his school days are over, should be made the judge in school. But we believe not only that the writing method is a better lest of the knowledge acquired than the oral method, but that il bids directly in the acquisition of the knowledge; that where the oral meih-! od is practiced exclusively, the ear is employed in learning the lesson as n-ell as in reciting it. In so.ne schools, u great deal of time is devoted to spelling, j The nupil hears scores of columns put I .... . ,. i out and spelled each day, and by conttn-I ued repetition, the order of Inters bä. t comes familiar to his ear. A blind child ; could hardly fail to become a good oml j speller m sucti a scnooi. Ana wuai i learned from the book tics not necessarily reach the mind direirtly through the eye: il may take a ciicui'ous route by the ear. The pupil, instead of connecting the letters and words us risible things, pronounces them to himself, and thus connects them as audible things. So accustomed has he become to this oral spelling, that, in learning his lesson, he spells each word audibly to himself, if not to others. How frequently do children, the olde- as well as the younger, complain of the ditticulty of committing to memory, j without moving the lips. The mini h;-.s become accustomed to the ear, es the great inlet of knowldge, and, as it were, refuses to receive directly from the eye. Thus lhe esr is cultivated at the expense of the eye the ear can detect inaccuracies in spelling which escape the eye Mtogether. When the pupil ntlernpts to put his knowledge of orthography in practice, he finds himself continually blundering, or rather otheis detect his blunders, for he himself will hardly know it unless told. The method, then, of spelling by writing, seems to be founded on reason. Taking into account the use to be made of this species of knowledge, it is the natural mode; while oral spelling is unnatural and artificial. We sep that the writing method not only doea make better spellers, as a matter of fact, but that, from the verv nature of the case, it must do it. There is an adaptation of the means to the end. which can not be found in the oral method. The change in method in this case con sists merely in using the eye instead of the car. as the channel of communicating knowledge to the mind. One might flippose that it could make no difference how the min I acquired the knowledge. Uut we have seen that it doe? make a vast difference in the matter of orthography. The employment ofiheear to the neglect of lhe eye, has caused an enormous waste of time. Spelling has been the greal thing in many of our district schools; yet every Examiner will bear witness, that whatever else lhe great body of teachers know, they do not know ho'v to spell. We thiuk it is manifest from this discussion of modes, that great importance should be attached to the inquiry, howis a particular kind of knowledge to be used! and that upon the answer to this inquiry will depend lhe other: how shall knowledge be gained? In spelling, the eye is the proper organ, and not the ear; in some other cases, we may find that the ear is neglected and the eye is used too mm h. More anon. S. M. E". Rochester, June 16th. 1853.

DIED on the 18th inst, ot her residence in Green township in this county, of consumption, Mr3. Mary, wife of Clinton

Dining trie last ten years she has been afllicted J with various diseases, and her life was frequently despaired of. Her last sick iiess appeared to be a combination of various chronic diseases, which run into hasty consumption, and terminated in death. She bore her a diction with meekness and christian fortitude, looking forward with fond anticipation to the time when the righteous who sKep in their dusty beds shall a wake and sing the song of deliverance, when the victorv over JeatJ,, lel and the grave is obtained; . , . , , .

And how are they called? By the Gospel? Then the Bible is the book to rly upon for information relative to what the saints are to inherit in the age to come. And there too we learn what we are called upon to believe and do; and we learn that all are now invited, for "God commands all men everywhere to repent.' How few there art who heed the call. R. C. The Danger and the Remedy. In the Washington correspondence of the Journal of Commerce we find the following paragraph: "From no quarter, except that of cur foreign relations, is there any apprt-hen-sion-of an interruption of our prosper! ty. But catties ure at work before every one's eves, from which vasllv more danger to our institutions may be expected. For instances, look at the immense and increasing immigration of foreigners into this country their numbers fast approaching, yearly, to the aggregate of the natural increase of our population. If the principles of our constitution stand this infusion of heteroeeneo'ts material, "thev can withstand any difficulties with foreign powers. This should be a serious thought with the American people. We need not fear our external enemies so long as we are an educated and a uni'ed people. Not our militia, nor our military spirit, but our Common Schools our great ßystem of popular education is the sure bulwark of our Constitutional liberties. Let-that system be crushed; let rampant bigotry and sectarianism rear their exclusive systems upon the ruins of our Common Schools and the peace, the strength, and the glory of the Republic are at an end. We need not fear the immigration of foreigners if we only take care to have them and their children taught "the principles of our Constitution." Let us bear this duty in mind when zealots and demagogues tell us that it is despotism for the Stale to provide for its safety? May God always preserve loyally in the "hearts of the American people to this kind of despotism. " Let their watchword be "Our Union, its Constitution, and the Education of the people.'' N. I. Sun.

On Friday last he was attacked with all the symptoms of hydrophobia, which continued during the d-iy and night, and on Saturday morning he was secured by chains and carried to the Commercial Hospital. A large number of our city physicians visited the unfortunate man. ami everv known treatment was administered, but without avail. The woor victim at times was rational, and begged in the most piteous manner to be killed. He lingered on between one and two o'clock in the afternoon, when he died in the mt intense agony and suffering. Cin. Paper. Advertising Estrays.

The Roanoke (X. C.)

Mr. Johnston is a r-spectacle farmer, and we believe his statement to be true. Gold Mine in Indiana The Haterstown (Wayne county) Herald, says: "Mr. Henry Harris, a citizen of th'iF place, made the discovery, on Thursday last, that gold exists in some of the hills adjacent to lhe village, in considerable quantities, and that it may readily be obtained by washing. This is no humbug. We have seen the specimens, and they urgenuine. A pan full of earth taken from any part of the surface, will yield a sufii cient quant'lyof dust to pay well for the labor of washing. Messrs. Wisinan ami Willihins have been out prospecting, and they are firmly of the opinion that, with the requisite iiiacfinery, mining might be profitably carried on at this place." The Cleveland Herald repoits a ca?e heforp Judge Starkweather, where the principle was decided that a telegraph company was liable for a mistake in sending a dispatch, by reason of which mistake the plaintiff was damaged. Bowman & McNamee, of New York were the j laintifTs. Bidwell & Co., of Adrian, Michigan, sent a dispatch to plaintiffs as follow: Send out handsome eight dollar nine anil orange, twenty-four red and green' ifec., shawls, Wlujn the dispatch was received it read: '-Send one hundred eight dollar," &c. So nie hundred were sent. The error was ascertained after their arrival, end the 09 shawls were returned, but by this lime they were out of season and less valuable. The suit was for the depreciated value and the freight. The court very proper '' fly said if the dispatch was plain and intelligible, the telegraph company were responsible for damages by reason of their mistakes. Judgment for lhe plaintiff for SI IS. Stopping a Paper An exchange says: When a man gets mad & stops his paper, he always borrows the next number of his neighbor, to see if the withdrawal of his patronage hasn't killed the editor and dressed the columns in mourning.

It appears by the English papers that the Prince of Wales has had two floggings recently one by his father, and another by a comrade.
