Influence or a Newspaper. ‘f

A school teacher who has been engaged
a long time in his profe;-sion‘,and witnessed
the influence of a newspaper upoti ithe‘-fdtinils
ol a faiiiily t)f"chil£lren, writes to the editor
of the Ogdensburg Sentinel asfollows ;_

“I have found it to be a‘.tini_versal fact
without EXc‘ep'1lQ1t, that those; eehtilafs’ of
both sexes and of all.ages,‘who=have had ac-
cess to new sp-tpers at home, when compared

1". Bit-tier readers, excelling in pronllncla-4
tion and emphasis, and CO1l_S('qtl8l'l1Iy read
more understandingly.

2. 'l‘lit.-y are better spellers, and define
words with greater ease and accuracy.

3. 'l‘hey obtain a practical knowledge of _

geography, in almost half the time it re-
quires others, as the newspaper has made

nieni fiimlliur with the location 01 the impor-

i.int places, nations, their Governments and
dtiirigs on the globe, '

4. They are better G-rammarians, for hav-
ing become so familiar with every variety of
style, in the newspaper, from the comnion-
place udvertisenieiit to the finished and class-
ical oration of the statesman, tlieyuiere read-

‘ ily comprehend theiiieaning ofthe text, and

consequently analyze its construction with
accuracy. . *

5. They write better compositions; using
liellel‘ language, containing more thoughts,
»;.1l0I‘B clearly and cotinectedly ex-pressed-.

6. Those young men who have for years
been readers of the'_newspapei:s, are.-alwgi-ye
~.t-aking the lead in» the debating soci€‘.ly,-.-ex-
.‘nib-ititig a more-extensive knowledge upon a

Gold Discoveries in Canada.

The recent discoveries of gold in Canada
are malring some noise in the newspnpe.rs;--
We met yesterday an intelligent gentleman,
iccctitly from the mines, who exhibited about
two (loll-trs’ worth of coarse gold, which he
said was the result of the washings ‘from
two pans of dirt. Our'informatii is not en-
gaged in gold digging, but had visited the
mines from 1‘ ankee curiosity. He states
that quite a large number of persons in the
employ of the proprietor of the mines, are
sucdessfully engaged in surface_ washing.
'1‘hese mines are situated on the river, Du-
pont,nenr itsjutictioti with the Cliaudicre,
some folly-Six miles from Quebec, atid near
i,-he Kenn.-bee Road. About five miles from
tI'1i5 i'il-ace, at the. Rapids of the Chaudiere
l’..ver, there is said to be a very rich vein of
gold bearing qtiarfz.

Our inf-irniant states that sixty ‘dollars’
worth of gold was recently broken from the
:-l1l'fdt‘.E‘ of a -piece of rock in this vein
x-.t-1;.-_liiiig only 38 pounds. He also states
911211501119 50 or s xty years ago a luuip "_(if
pure gold, worth about $300, was picked up
in the vicinity of these discoveries, and that
two or three yr-.iit‘s ago several small lumps
\'.°t.-re found, some of which were exhibited
at the \"t'oilil’s Fiiirin London. It has been
‘t-tnotvn for several months, that there‘ were
r-ch deposits of gold on the banks of the
Cliautlit-re and its tributaries,but negotiation
-‘or the saleof the mining privileges there
have delayed active mining till viithtn two
or ttiiee wetks past.

ilt‘t'itIe fat‘ lietsrxlf; but it seems that I\/Ir. De
la Roe and Dr. llt.fl'=nan, in their capacities
as jurors ofthe Great Exhibition, have made
terrible havoc among the perfumery. They
hive found that niany 01 the scents said to be

produced from anything but flowery sources,
the perfuiners are chemists ellfitlgll to know

ed odor, the perlumer does net expect to be
n-ked what kind of odor vtas emitted by the
:-uhst:inr.'e whence. the petfume was obtained.
i\'oiv, Ilictor Lyon Play fair, in his siitiimary

called democracy of this country. it rid if we were

cofoco as the Whig party, are many and of 8

most paradoxical cliaracter. Gen. Scott has

lost the South because he did not make a mule's

pi'ogeni1Qr of himself on the Compromise quea-

tion—-while the Free Soilers of the Not-tlzi op:

too there were those who insisted that the Nit-
tiontil Convention should have nominated Mr.
Webster wlietliei-"lie had any votes or n0t.fl0d
as he has depiirted—to consummate their folly
and imilislincss, thousands voted l'or_li'is ghost.
Thotisatids more of our Whigs were totally
careless and intlilferent as to the result, who
had not as much vitalality as at Winter‘ squash;
in short, riitlier desiring that the election Sll0lll<l
go by default to see how it would see m.--
These were sad odds to contend against. yet
we had active working \Vliigs enough to have
overcome all these obstacles, had it not been
for an»unprecede_nted and overwhelming for-
eign role, which in our opinion has occrisioiied
our complete overtlirow. That our iidopted
citizens have been citjoled and deceived into
voting llgtllllst the best interests of our country
and oflheniselves, is a fact which we have no
doubt they will learn when too late. But:.when
ti body is stone dead there is little use in trying
to get: up 1'8S[)l|‘ll110n, and even after we are so
essentially thriislietl, we have patriotism enough
left to hope General Pierce will have it pros-
perous titid peaceful administration, and that our
glorious country may’ not stiller by the carrying
out of the ruintius party measures which were
made the issues of tile ciiiiiptiigii. But among
his special supporters and advisers, whose un-
ceasing exeiriotis have been for the. five loaves
and two fishes. we expect to sleek tei'r'ib'e wait"
in less than six months. All cannot have offi-
ces wlio desire ofiice, and such ti scratcliing and
inewing as there will be in the democratic
ciitiip would tippal ti convention of Kilkeniiy cuts.
As fgp our-salvgg. we are confident that 8 four
years residence at the bend writers of Salt
River. with its cool. stilubrious climiite. will so
much improve the Whig constitution. Illlll. we
shall come down again at the expiration of that
period, in such fine health and spirits, as shall
sweep everything beft re us!

ning of Election day, when in less than four
hours after the balltt boxes had closed, we
were able to tell the result througliout the
Union! The returns were‘ sent over and read
at Marine Hall, as announced ton crowd of
citizens eager to know the result. The two
parties ngreetlthat there should be no inani-
festtttioiis ol exultation oti elllior aide—but the
news camp iu so overwlielmingly democratic-—
the happy fellows could not suppress them
selves, and we couldn’t: wonder at it. Our
democratic fiimiliar who is always in the can
on such occasions, had to let up the valves and
cheer vocil‘eroiisly as a matter of physical tie-

forgot all our sorrows in seeing one of our fel-
low mortals so happy.

Report 0/‘ the N rw York Chief of Police.—--
Thc report of the Chiefof Police for the first
six months ofthe present year, has been pre-
sented to the Mayor. Front it we learn,
that from the 1st of January to the 1st of Jufy;
there were sixteen thousand four hundred
and twenty persons taken into custody for fel-
onies and misdemeanors, of this number-two
thousand six hundred and ninety-four were
offences ofa violent nature against the person,
viz: assault with intent to kill, 87; assaull
and battery 2208; assaulting policemen, 80 ;
‘attempt at rape. 7; fighting in the streets, 236;
murder, 13; rape, ll; robbery in the first de-
gree, 43; for the same offences during the
previous six months, "there were 3162 persons
arrested showing a decrease of four hundred
and sixty eight. ’ The Report says:

There were 8,250 persons for disorderly
conduct, while there were 9,410 persons ar-
rested for the same offences during the prev-
ious six months. The whole number of ar-
rests during the six months ending with the
31st of December, I851, was 18,463 being
2033 more than were arrested during the pe-
riod eiiibrticed in the _l)"i“SE‘1l1 report. There
were 2514; offences top.-it-ted as having been
committed against property, of which num-
ber 1,311 (more than one half) were petit lar-
cenies.

 

E‘ A newly discovered, and said to be
unfailing mode ofdiscovering the bodies of
drowned persons, in the water, is to take a
new leaf of bread, deposit in it three ounces
ofquicksilver, and cast it upon the ware,-___
It will float until it rests over where the body
may lay, and then become stationary. __ This
experimentihas been tried, several times in
England, and proved successful. 

Interesting Relics -—The pulpit in~ which
George Whitfield preached in England, was
brought to this country a few days ago, and
is now deposited at the Tract House,‘ in the
rooms of the City Ti-actsuciety. It is about
six feet high, nearly square at the top, and is
a light framevi ork of hard wood, so as in be
easily removed from one place to another,
and stationed in the open air. It is easily
put in compact form by the operation of bin-
ges, and held together by iron books. It
was‘ sent here by Mr. George C. Smith, of
England. In another part of the Tact So-
ciety’s building, iathet-hair once occupied by

jects ofinteresting narratives, widely known.

"In January, ’77. a British ship from’New

constrained by advrrse winds, came to an-
chor in Milford harbor, and forthwith landed

lives. They had been suff.-ring, from con-
finement and hard fare on board the Jersey
prison ship Asia. Most were enfei-bled or
diseased—some't1ied while being landed.—
All that (1141 not, were immediately provided
for by public authorities, or niinistered to by
the hand of charity in private families.-
But in spite. of all that coultl be done for
them, 46» of their number died vi ithin one
month, and were buried in a common grave.

named Wood, living near Raltway, N. J.,as
he was going on hoisebacr to church, last
evening, took the New jersey Railroad track,
to save the mud ofthe ('01ItI110l1 road. Sud-
denly, before he could reach a cross-vra v, and
while he was yet undiscovered by the engi-
neer, a train running at the ra'te'of forty miles
an hour, struck his horse and killed him in-
stantly,’ tore olfthe saddle so that it hung in
the sides olllie locomotive, and yet left the
man perfectly unhurt, though he wastlirown
offto some distance. When the train stopped
and the passengers ran back to see what the
matter was, he was found coiilettlpluting his
poor horse. without a bruise or a scar.-
How he escaped he cannot tell, as he lost all

Greylock, (the highest land in ;Viassacliusetts,)
as had be-en their I:llS1(_)lll, as soon as any siiow
was seen on its top, and encamp out. This
pt-rmission was pert-tiiptnrily rt-fused. Not-
withstandiiig the prohibition, most of the stu-
dcnts went up and encaiiipetl for the night.-—
On coming dotvn,-1'1" of their unmber were
ptiblicly expelled. This so toured the ire of
the whole College, that they voted to attend no
more recitations, until the edict of Pxpul.-ion
was retracted. So the matter now stands, no
recitaiiotis having been attended for several
days.-—Ha.rlfard (_,‘ou7'-r7tl.
