its the s: me tiling has happened everv <!*y

it is certain it is no jok?. A gentleman
from Pennsylvania, who has had great
xptrienoe as a rectilier and dealer in coal oil,
I was at Mr. llf?rde*ty> place a wrek ago, and
pronounced the indications very good. He
biniru Lu.u u wouia laice about two thousand
dollar?, in the hands of an experienced operator,
to tent the question; but whether any arrangement*
lor this purpose have tx-.-n made,
we have not heard.
Whether this oil ari??*g alwavs from bituminous
coal, or whether nature has provided
other modes ol producing it, is still a que-'ion
in the minds of many intelligent and well informed
men. If it arise* from coal alone, we
would mention one fact bearinr on the question,
which might make it po**iMe to b* toiind
iu this neighborhood. We believe that bituminous
coal was mined n?ir Ni.-hmrmri v?

State*. Now, Richmond is about eighfv mil??>
from the nearest point of th?? lllue" Ridce
mountains, nrd Mr. Hardesty's place is no:
halfas far. so that coal may easily b?* believed
to underlie t bat neighborhood. Wehaveheard
that several moneyed men in Wflstoingtnn and

engage in the business.?Rockk"lle Journal.
The Kidot awothkr LikklCasb ?An exciting
libel cote has b**en on trial at Hrooklvn.
N. Y., for several day*. It appears that a
State Senator, named Sirong, was charged by
a publication in a Brooklyn newspaper with
'legislative corruption." For this Mr. Strung
brought a suit for libel against the editor,
claiming- heavy damage. Judge Barnard, in
charging the jury, remarked:
'Th?? defendant is a representative of tbe
newspaper press. Our nation and onr ancestors
liave til ways resisted to th* d?*a*h ail limitation
ot the public press; and if the trial ha*
proved that the plainua nas b**en guilty of o,or.
n:pUon, it will anpwcr the purpose. But
when I tell you the press ha* liberty to pot
anything in it* columns without censure, 1 do
not mean to sanction it* abuse. It is admitted
to defendant to plead facts iu mitigation, which
von mav take Into account to prove no malice
in the libel. If tbe detendant is in possession
of fact* which, though they may fall short of
actual proof of corruption, of court? may be
taken into consideration as a mistaken part of
the libel on supposed facts. You may also
take these facts;in mitication'as b*?injt be'lieved
the time of pnblication, &a that disprove*
a wicked libel."
The jury retired and after some time reI
nrned a verdict of six cents for plaintiff.
fr.a>'p*ri*g a Koyal Bart.?A cnrious 1
trial has just taken place in Berlin. On the
occa-iou of the baptism of Prmc? Frederics
Charles' eon, then Hve we.-ks old, the Krenz '
Zeitnng published an article relating the part 1
which each personage took in the solemnity.
In reply the Bourse Gazette spoke morees
jifcially of "the condoct of baby,'" demanding
if it bad been equal to the occasion ?o ably described
by the other journal. The O-aaette was
in consequence seized, the tribunal admitted
the plea of the Public Miniatar arainst the lib.
era I newspaper "for an Insult committed
arainst a member of the roval family." The
defendant demanded tbat doctors should be
fr.ir.raoiied to attend and decide if aa intant of
five weeks old, although * Prince, could be
considered as a person are, and as havinc pursn?'d
any "conduct." The tribunal finally pronotincea
an acquittal, ttaourh blaming the de.
lerdant for hia disregard of propriety.

year was discriminating and expressive, ana

of school productions lioth of these bran :bes
have undoubtedly received the n?t exertions
ol the teacher, and her success is certainly enviable.
Too much time was occ upied in waiting
for the complete flfrnres in the arithmetic
problems. it is much better for both
pupils and auditory that the oral examination
should fee cireeted to the analysis of
the problems without figures or slate, and to
the statement ot the principles which govern
the operation. In this school, where excel.

to choose special merit; so it remains torus
merely to express the gratification of all prevent
that we bare in *nr city a ? cbocl ar.d a

system. anu whicb places it without superiors,
and with but lew rivals In any part of our
country.
It may be remarked in general that the ex.
animations this year Lave attained a mgiier
standi! rd of scholarship ar . teaching in each
of the four grades into wbicb our system is
divided?a gradation which has been in existence
but two years, and its fnll success as yet
not developed. This year's work is a hrirh:
augury lor the future, and while to-day each
grade will compare most favorably in its class
with any other in the Union, the presages of
decided superiority are annually becoming
more manifest, ana this accomplished success
and promising future our citizens should appreciate.
and hence be grateful for the gratuitous
and laborious efforts of our Board of
School Trustees.
