C. T. 1 SCHOOL REPORTS. Some Points to be Cowind iu tlio forth coming Uoporl s. State Suporinten lent ot K lucntion K. F, Palmer ot utorhury, having h en re quested by several supervisors to indicate, m some respect, what their reports of the schools ought to contain, has is-ued a o:r cular indicating tonic points upon which in formation is particularly desired. Two sections ot the circular maybe of general interest and are given herewith: One main object of tho new school law w as to assist the poor district-, llenc1, th relative condition ot tile schooln. ought to appear: m.i Tho number of school . hero under section 100 the higher branches of Knglish are taught; (b.i the number where under s;ctiou 101 tho nucicnt mid for eign languages maybe taught; ic) thonum ber where scholars are fitted for college, mot to include academics); ,di the number of schools open 110, IVi, :!l and weeks during tho year; the number of scholars attending them: the average nlten dnnce; the average per cent on the grand li3t to support them: also the number of schools op in only 21 weeks; the number jpen leis than 2-1 weeks; the average per cut on the grand list to support the two last named schools; number ot boys nni number ot girls attending thorn: the aver ngo ntteiulanco. Also state iu how many j tho per cent on the grand list is exception . ally high igivmg it m extreme ca-eM, am i iu which class of school thli is found, and ! where they are located, whether iu ill. ices or places remote from out res ot population I the average pay ot the teachers in these ! sohools: number of male and number of I female teachers. It is necessary that you make a special cflort in urging nil olllcers under the new school law to do their duty. It is very im portuut that we have an accurate census ot the children of school ago in tlio state, And, that wo may know tlio tendency both to enter school Into and leave it eurlv iu life, it is essential that the number ot children II vo years old, six years old, and so on up to 18 years of age. in each diitrict, should be iu tho list made by tho clerk, and the ago ot each pupil should ho given by tho teacher In the register. You should call the attention of each district clerk to sec tion ICS of the school law, by which he is leqiiiied, during the Inst two weeksof Juno, to "prepare an accurate list, containing the n.mie and ago of each child of school age," etc., and make such report therefrom us the superintendent ot education may re quire." The census taken last year, under .-eetion HW, is so defective Hint it is hardly worth publishing, .Many clerks entirely neglected to do their duty in this retpect.

God works by menus'' l n profound and important, truth. The clouds an 1 thu winds, he bnnittk's of nature nnd forces of th ple na nts do not chungn their nature or laws n p'li'iiclo bectuiso (iod occasionally employs hem in speciRs manifestation ot His holy will; nnd man, as a part of nature, is subject to the snmo divine law. Matthew is just ns 'lornii'jlily an Nruoliio nnd Luke us much nu xix-i t iu Greek, David is a poet, mid war rior nnd Isnluh a fervent, limning exhoiter ' patriotism when God speaks through them a . a: any other time. And this is th" pcrcn- ihl charm ot biblical style; tho wriwr ot u'li Iniok of the Bible preserves his indi viduality ns distiu ! from uiiv nth. r ns Taci tus from Livy or Bancroft from Miu aulcy; i liod s spirit is ever present in each writer out Moses to SI. John. Mnti'iiew, basing ill" spirit and yet acting a an individual, naturally set forth tin teachings ot our Sav iour as they (.ecim d best adapted to win o-er tho Jews, and John, similarly, as an iudi- Muni, addressed tlio chuich of bis timo ; but .uke. the scholar, traveler nnd man of sci riiillc attainments, as naturally became a hi.turian. Matthew lAmcerned himself onlrssith bis brethren nfN r the flesh, tho Jews of Pules line, and quite naturally, therefore, only ive n thread of narrative suflii-ieiit lustring ( hrlst s teachings upon, and at each point preferred t lie p aching most nearly connected with the Oid Testament, srhieh I he Jews nc- ptel; l.uko, us naturally, felt inclined to i owd into his narrative a-, many as possible if i hose in"id"iits which svould ktriko the at ! ution of Gentiles. Tho position ot Mat ' low may lie likened to that ot a unlive of ."' w Kngland writing on the history of bis ciiim and connecting it by constant refnr ' :":e with the Amerlcnu Revolution and . liiptionof the coti.titutiuii; the position "t 1. i1." to that ot a highly rducut"d Herman i.- Frenchman pointing out to his couritry- iMi tho b: illiant aclues-omenUs of I h j Anior- v. ns n wIm !e nnd urging the adoption i. the American 'v.lem.

Fi Uy. however, these two opinions svero re- leiled to this extent: that Matthew did .npili u sort of "memorabilia"' ot Christ's , i. i.i'igs, and that this (in tho popular lan- -igi') was the only gospel for near thirty .jis, after which Matthew compiled tho .'i. upleto Greek compo-ition which wo have.

In stead of depositihg its eggs in a iuM and then sitting upon them, the upteryx first buries its egg and then digs a hole underneath it, iu which it remains, ami thus sils not upon but under tho cost. It must lm admit toil, how eser, that this statement has liecii disputed. Also, contrary to th" svont ot birds i 11 gen eral, the optcryx is noeturunl and devotes its puergUw entirely to 11 nightly hunt after norms.
