The Mad Stone.-—'1‘lie Buffalo Dem-
Tocrat arciies that “tlic mad stone," res-
‘p.-ciing ivhicli there has been so much
discussion, is llO‘tllll12‘ highly prized in
ancient times. It adds that—- '

The word ‘liezoar’_is derived froma
‘Persian compound word pct-zaliar, mea-
‘niug tleslrOy€r’OI‘p0ls0lI.' Several kinds
of bezoars liavc‘bc'eii found and are na-
ined after the countries in which they
were cliscovcred. They are all morbid
icoiicrotions-in the bodies of animals, and
fornicrly enjoyed the reputation ofinagic
powers of cure in crises of poisoning.-—
',Bcrtholet‘distingiiislics eight varieties of
the ‘bezoar. some of Wlllcll are pho-=plm!-es
of lime, magnesia, ammonia or these
‘mingled; some inerely insipisated bile
and these are used by painters. we be-
lieve, as a pigineiit, and some have pro-
‘vud to be foreign siilislaiiccs, such as hair
hits of fiungus or wood, etc., that - have
been swallowed by the animal during
life.
’ 'I‘lie bezoars have been particularly
honored in oriental countries, where the
medical sclciices have made but little
progress, aiidilie resort to magic and
uccroriiaiicy for the cure of disease, is
common. Among a people naturally su-
perstitious, an abnormal appearance, like
that of a stone in the lungs or other parts
‘of the cavity of the body, would be at
once: attributed to mystical causes, and

powers. Accordingly we find that to
the bezoars were early imputed magical

cures,‘ant| as poisons occupy a large
place in the considerations of an semi-
=civ'ilized and barbaroiis-nations, and rem-
ilrdics for their action are much sought
‘after, tliese sloiies came to assume a spe-
cial digiiiiy as alcxipliarmies or charms
applied to all inzmiier of virulent wound.-
iind given internally. So many and sig-

-nal were the virtues imputed to them

that they brought fabulous prices and

limitations were frequent. The Sultan

‘ft-rriiig entire security against wounds

A Turtle qf Gcizcraus Feelings--A
Fact.—Tlic heading of this paragraph
is_a safe one, as we trust that of the tur-
,tle will Le whose generosity we cliroiii-
ole. Nobody will deny that a turtle has
/celtngs and the individual of which we
write would convince the skeptical that
his species have generosity also. Yester-
day, a large number of persons were in-
terested for a few inoineiits at l5rown’s
apotliecary store, corner of State and
\Vas.liiiigtoii streets, in noticing the
niovetneiits of it small turtle, scarcely
three inches long, and a number of gold
fishes that sport in a receptacle near the
front window, A shingle floated upon
the surface, placed there for the expres-
sed accommodation of liisjuvenile turtle-
ship, whenever he desired to bask in the
sun and watch the niovements of his
more glittering companions. A number
of common house flies were caught by
the by-staiiders and thrown upon the
shingle, but the ll).‘?€’.(‘.lS were instantly
seized by the turtle, who would proceed
forthwith to the edge and dip his head
iutoitlie water‘, when the fishes, being
:it.tractcd toitlie spot by his movement,
he would give up the little half dead in-
sect, with the most commendable gene-
grosity, notwiilistanditig the awkward-
ness of tlic larger and ill-inaniicrly fishes
who, failiug..to get the fly, seemed very

betiefactor. The act was repeated more
than a dozen times, in presence ofa large
number of spectators.

pay a compliment to Gov. Elgin, on his
way lately to open the Canada Parlia-
ment. For that purpose they hoisted I
flag ivininefiiately on the approach of His

surprised to find the American flag float-
ing at the mast-head, a_iid that the‘ ‘Brit-
ish Government had ‘passed under its
shadow on his way to represent the

There appeared a good -unanimity, both
in the clerical and lay delegation. Miti-
istcrs and people seemed to be actuated
by the same motives and principles.

The following resolutions, among oth-
ers, were unarzimously adopted. They
are, as you will see, made designedly
brief and pointed, so that no one need
mistake their meaning:

1. Resolved, That in" the passage and
enactment of the Proliibitory Liquor
Law in this State, we most heartily re-
joice, and that we will do the utmost of
our power to honor and to sustain it.

2. Resolved, That in -the ‘abrogation
of the Missouri Compi-omise'by our con-
gress at its late session we witness a re-
newed obsequiousness.'to the slave pow-
er of this country, as well as a daring
violation of the most solemn obligation
and compact. ’ -" - -

to reconsider its action upon thissubject
and to restore the ancient landmark of

conditional repeal of the Fugitive Slave
Law as impcratively demanded by chris-
tian right and justice.

mwtiotls reputation enjoyed by Orange
Conuty—a County which pre-ciniucutly
flows with milk, butter, and lI0ll——l‘l0l'-
sés. Chester .is.a little village on the
line of the Eric road, remarkable for three
things only, so far as we could discover;
these were: 1st,'its‘being the l.iirtli-place
of seine of the fastest and most valuable
horses in the world ; 2nd, the eiioruious
quantity and llle abominable quality of
the rum sold, (two glasses being suffi-
cient, as we heard an imbibcr affirm, not
only to knock a man under the fence,
but"ruiii him etei-nally;”') and 3d-, its
being the place selected for holding the
County Fair.

The Society have a fine canvass tent,
under which they exhibit all the products
of the farm and garden, as well as the
various implements of husbandry, speci-
meus of iiiecliariical skill, &c.

The show of farm preducts were ex-
ceedingly fiue in quality, but slim in
amount or quantity. VVe never saw fi-
ner specinieus of potatoes than were here
presented, raised, as we were told, on the
low-lands of the County, in what is term-
ed " black dirt,” which owing to the
dryness of the season, was admirably
adapted’ to their growth. Here we.met
wi,tli the‘ celebrated . agricultural writer,
Chas. Downiiig,'Esq., of Ncwburgli,aiid
had. the honor of acting with him on one
of the 1-Iorticultural Committees. Being
favor-ed with an official dignity,andhavlug
the duty to perform of deciding upon the
best qualities of the various fruits pre-
sented, we enjoyed, “ by authority,” the
propensity for (tasting which led our
good mother Eve into such a lzllYlClll'al)le
difficulty. VVe never discused or d,l2’,t:‘ided
upon more luscious’ Catawbas, while the
Isaoellas,-Elsiugboros, &c., were quite
as fin_e-as any we ever saw. There was
also a fine show of peaches, which "were
very “ fair to look upon.” Wit/till the
tent, however, the Fair was no; a flea-
bite to those of our own County. The
mechanic arts had few votaries, while
the many little wares and contrivances,
so plentiful at all our agricultural fairs,
were absent, c'early showing that Yan-
kee mercliauts and meclnnics understand
the system of atl-2:crt'isz'7z.g their wares,
as well as making them :1 leads the'liest.

Outside, however, the show was better.
There were some very fine hogs—many
very fine sheep of the various breeds.——
Of Calves there were but few, but those
of most extraordinary growth and beau-
ty. The working cattle were mostly
very inferior, judging from the ‘ show
made at our exhibitions. on Green-
wich would throw the whole of Orange
County entirely into the shade, by an ex-
hibit of ten yoke of her ordinary cattle.-—
There were many rnilch cows on the
ground, and while the most of these
looked quite extraordinary, there were
some most magnificent looking creatures.
-The bulls were generally very large and
fine", and mainly of the Durham blood,
which seems to be a favorite breed, to
the exclusion of the Dcvons, and Ayr-
sliires. We noticed one of a bluish rooii
color, of a most beautiful form--quite as
pretty as any bovine picture we ever
beheld. . ,

We saw a few coups of poultry—-
mostly filled with sorry imitations of the
Sliarigbae, looking for all the world like
lithe “ last rose of Summer,” in its “sore
and yellow leaf.” W'e perceive that the
hen-fever has not raged much in‘ this re-
gion, as most of the farms and barnyards
still rejoice in the good old fashioned na-
tive breeds. V

‘The horse-fever seems to rage most
furiously. Even to the absorption and
moiiopolizing of almost every other inter-
est. _ \V_e.ncvcr saw a better display of
this noblest of the animal creation, if we
except the National Horse" Show at
Springfield last year. The wliolc'county'
seems to run into a perfect horse mania
—the old and sedate farmer participating
as earnestly as a jockey. But there is
soinecxcusc of the prevalence and" this
intensity of horse-distemper, which rages
among this horse-pitiable people. “The
fastest trotters and runners in the world,-
have been raised in old Orange.‘ - High-
llai_id-inaid who was raised and sold by a
cousin of ours in this county, is now. said
to be worth.$10-.000, and to talk of the
thousands is moreeonimon among the
horse-‘men here, than hundreds with us.
.VVe thiiik an ordinary horse will sell for
about four times-- asfimuch here, as at
home,‘ while extraordinary ones bring all
sorts of extravagaiit prices.‘ Casius M.
Clay, Black Hawk, Rattler, and the
_bo_rs_e xvhiclitrotted [11 miles in 0 hours,
on Long Island, last. fall, were all iiritives
of this County. We saw a very pretty
‘three’ ‘year old colt out I of old Black
ljl:t_wlt,,\vliicii we had an iiikliiigto pur-
chase, iffit could be procured at even a
liberal price. Learning that hisrowncr‘

his lowest itcrnis, promising that if he
would dispose of liirri at a fair value, we

(sell him, but $2000_was the lowest cent
that could buy hini. It was astonisliiiig
how quick we,’ made up our miiid not to
piircliaseia horse. Had Richard Ii-ad a
prophetic vision of the value of horses,
thought we, when he offered his “king.
doiu foriit l_‘io_rsc,’i"t_li’erc_ would have been
tiotliiiig v,ery_extraordiiiary in the affair.
'J3lier.e are few klngdoiiis of the present
day, worth half «the ‘price of an Orange
County Horse. 0 i

There wiisa track laid out and some
fine. uolting in the afternoon, which
seemed to engross the attention of all
'p:ir'ti’e's. . We noticed two full-rigged
bloomers,initlieicrowd more l‘elYl:n‘li'ItllleN

I we here witnessed. It was enough to
.ni:ikc'oue sigh for old_ Coimect.icut,, and
its “ tyrannical Law.” If Chester don’t
go for Maine Law, in the next election
we shall think its citizens worthy of the
couceiiii'at.cd efforts of the Home Mis-
sionary Society. If rum in its inostdis-‘
gusliiig aspects, - ever oferated on the

grcat hopes of Orange County. B.

a f'cw curses at these Maine Law men, who are
‘-'l'oi'eve1'pcking thciriioscs into other folks’

search was taking place, ti. rum bird flew over
towards the railroad station,and shortly after
in horse and wagon were seen dashing up this
wao, bear-lug, it is further said, ll couple _of
kegs and their owner. What was in the for-
mcr is not said, but we think there was some
little friglit fcrniciiting in the latter. Look

Death of Bishop W’ainWright.

This reverend man, Provisional Bishop of
the Diocese of New York, died in that city on
the 21st inst., at 5 o'clock, P. M. ,His disease,
a typhoid fever brought on byexposurc and
'_f'i‘itiguc in the pcrformaiicc of his religious la-
bors, was of about three weeks duration. The
fatal termination that has arrived, was antici-
pated for-sonic days, but it was hoped that‘ a
favorable change might yet disappoint the
fears that were excited by the insidious pro-'
gress of his malady, and the great prostratiou
ofliis strength. ‘

On this subject we would,,say,~that we
think tlierehas been some improvement
in each of the several.Districts'; and we
feel gratified to state also, t_hat’iii‘s.'omé
casesit has exceeded our expectations.
We feel compelled also to say, that in
some few instances, there has not been
that improvenient that we could" have‘
desired. Lessons have not been com?‘
mitted as perfectly as we could have
ivislied to find them. And we ithink it
is often the case that too much siirfztce is"
run over without. obtaining a t_liorougli;
kiiowletlge ofthc subject.’ And we have‘
therefore endeavored to inculcate the
idea that so far as the pupil progresses,
he should be thorough. ‘ - .

. On this subject we only pi'opose_to
give-a few qualifications which we thiiik
teachers ought to possess.‘ 7

1. They should possess dlgrtity of
character. For it is true that whatever
literary qualifications they may possess,
if they are wanting in this characteristic,
they cannot succeed.

2. They should possess eremzcss ‘of’
temper. Peviousiiess, and fretfuliiess,
should be avoided ; and they should; al-
ways. endeavor to manifest such a dispo-
sit.ion~as_would be worthy of. in‘1'it'a_ti‘or_i
by their pupils. ' i

3, They should be teach‘ is of clwice. .;
And we;»\vill venture the assertion ‘ that
wlioe'vc‘r' does not c/Loose" this erriployment
is lacking in a veryimportant qualifica-
tiou for a teacher. -

4. Tlicre should be lciizcl and good
feelings, between teachers and their pu-
pils. I ' r '

And this should be considered of
importance, with every teaclicr.

~... _. .

f0ll0Wll'lg remctkr - “~—TL._is :1 -lifiio-nlr
matter to manage .a~school. so that the
teacher shall secure at once, the order,
the respect‘, and the affection of his
school.” (p.67_) Nevertheless \\]C tliiuft‘
this should be coiistaiitlygiiiiicu‘ ar,‘_:;iid
difficult as it may appear to be, it can be
accomplished. And we. will also add,
that wherever this qualification-is ‘pos-
sessed, it should be highly_pri_zed.

5. They should possess a tact, or an
aptness, for~ teaclii;ng,- and especially for
governing. ' ' . _ 

So far. as our observation extends,
there have been more failures iu-refcr-
ence to government in school, than there
has been deficiency in the literary quali-
fications of teachers. And we ’b'ellevc_
that this is a geiieral. complaint.

On this subject we will refer againlo
the sauiereport. (Page 7-5.) “ It is ev-
ident that the failures -in governing and
teacliing are much more _frequeiifi_tliaii
any lack of literary qii-.ili.‘icaiion‘oa the
part of'the"teachers ” Again". Page 57-
“ The governinciit of the school is-by__.it-
selfa part of education. It trains the
riioral feelings. It gives reverence or
.disrespect for law, and tliiismzikcs law
abiding citizens, or, violators of law.of
the rising generation.” ' ‘ ’ -

VVc will quote once more from the re-
p0rl;,,page 79. -“ More depends on,_tlie‘
governnieut of the school, than ‘the. lite):-
ary attainments of the teacbers._ For
govermiieiit in school cannot be‘ main-
tained by a teacher, unless the ‘tcaelier
possess good comnioiisense ; -and that is
the first-fqualifiicatioiiiiifa. good t"e2acli'er,
and without that qualificatiori no one—éar‘1
bea good teacher _even if they attend all
the’ teacliers coiiveiitions or Normal
Schools whatsoever.” -

6. The frequent change of teachers is
a great evil among'us. ‘The frequent
change of teacliers makes it almost, if
not quite impossible for pupils to succeed
in the art of penmanship. And we have
observed that where there are in-qtieiit
changes of teachers, it is often the case
that the ,successor _cliz__mges. the m_od-;-. of
the ‘predccess’br’," and"b'y tlies’c cliaiiges
the pupil is retarded in his progrcss.—
Therefore we think tliaf good t.c:icliei's2
once ol')t-.r'ined, ouglit .to‘be cotitiiiued in
the-sainve school if possible, so long as

have the fol o,\vj.ng reinark. “ \/Yo have
