There was nothing that could soothe him save music. In his w ildesi delirinui the singing of his daughter would calm him. Petitions for Sir.

The PuBLio-Sc2HooL.s.f-We are indebted to Ptessor Mclver for the following ofia cial statement of the public schools in this State : Official reports from forty-six coun ties, show that the County Treisurers re ceived during the school year ending June 30th, 1874, $202, 758.25, and 'paid but $155, 2f)'..31 l'oi- public schoojs, nnd that 1,427 public schools for white children, and 591 for colored children were , taught, in which 5.7, 114 whfte and 28,4.97 colored children '..were instructed. There afe forty-seven counties in the State which have not yet reported..' '.'It is probable that the entire school fund in the hands., of County vTreas- urers in the State during theyear'wasJ5Qme thiug over five hundred thousand dollars, and that about three hundred thousand dollars were paid out for public schools, and that nearly four thousand public schools have been taught in the State lor terms varying from two. to four, and in some instanWs fen months of the year in which aboui one hundred and fifty thou sand children were instructed. .The l.vw is defective in not providing for the educa tion and training of teachers lor efficient county ahel district supervision and in not authorizing local taxation for school purpose '. If these defects could be remedied by, proper legislation, the school system r 1 would become effec tive. In many-places there has been a marked improvement in teachers and schools,- due in a great measure to assis tance from abroad, and corresponding in crease of popular interest ini public educa tion. , The people are not wanting in ener gy, pnhlic spirit, or in due appreciation of the, value ot popular intelligence nnd virtue. Our great want is statesmen in our Legisla tive Halls laws that will enable the people to establish and maintain free public schools lor the education of their children.

So at the State fair the countryman saw Dr. Smedes and the doctor according to contract asked hrm to take back the cow and refund him his thirty dol lars.

REOuuLTiONS.-4-The following, de notes a few of the changes made in the postal regulations by the act of last session : Let ters with request to return printed or writ ten thereon are to be returned without addi tional postage. When a subscriber r to a newspaper changes his; residence and de sires his paper forwarded to his new office, ransient rates ot postage, ot one cent tor each two ounces of fraction; thereof must be charged on each copy as received. If a party receives a paper from; the office of publication and, remails it, he must pay postage on it at the rate fof one centfor each two ounces of fraction thereof. - Pamphlets and books cannot be returned at the request of the writer without prepayment of postage at the rate of one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. Letters on.ee taken from the post-office by the proper parties cannot be f orwarded without being prepaid. This applies also to re'turn-request letters once,4a' en out of a post-joffice. Letters ad dressed to a person not found at the office addressed may be f orwfarded without addi- lonai charge. i ' m . Simple Cjbe fok Boils. Dr. Simon, a physician of Lorraine, gives a new care for boils, namely, by treating them with cam phorated alcohol. As soon as the culmina- ting point 01 a DonmaKes its appearance ne puts a little of the liquid in a saucer, and, dipping the ends of his little fingers in it, rubs the inflamed surface, especially the central part, repeating the operation eight or ten times for about half a- minute. He then allows the surface to dry, placing over it a slight coating of camphorated olive 01L He says that four such applications will, in, almost all eases, cause boils to dry up and disappear ; the operation to be performed morning noon and evening. The an nouncement of so simple a cure for such a painful malady will bear repetition.

Bloominqtos, '111., August 15, 1874. At Grayville, near this city, a few days since, there existed one of the greatest curiosities of the age in" the shape of a human mon- strasity. It is no less than a child with one head, four ears, two eyes, two noses, and one mouth. It was born dead, and given to the physician who made the accoucJie- inent. That gentleman afterward made a post-mortem examination, and reports as follows: ' i M "It has a double body as far down as the umbilicus, and united face, forming a perj feet square It has four formed arms, hands, and shoulders even to scapulas. The shoulders also from a perfect square There are two spinal dolumns passing up through the neck therefore two spines in closed in one neck. Four lower extremities are present, all perfectly developed, and of the same size and length. The ribs of two children are present Could the being have lived it would undoubtedly have had perfect use of all eight -of its limbs, four arms and four legs, with twenty fingers arid twenty toes. In the head there existen two occipital bones and two perfect brains, inclosed in one- skull and attatched to different spinal cords. There I was one thoracic cavity and one abdominal; mere are two pieurai sacs, an normal, lie low the double diaphragm were one stom ach, one spleen, two livers, three kidneys, one alimentary canal and all the other 01 T gans singular."
