SCHOOL. SLATES -Among other reforms now being agitated, we are told by an exchange, is one which meets our approval, in a war apon screeching slates. Some of the objections urged against their 118e is that they are noisy, hurtful to the eyes, and assist in forming a bad chirography which it takes yeats of pen practice to overcome. Their places is to be filled by an elastic, light paper slate, upon wbich ink can be used, and from which it can be removed as often as needful. The total abolition of slates will be a joyful move for teachers as well as pupils, and the day which witnesses the sharpening of the last slate pencil should be marked with a white stone by every teacher whose teeth have been set on edge by the horrid sound.

OUR OwN. We have been favored with a number of new subscribers during the last two weeks. The OPINION makes the acquaintance of these new friends with pleasure, and will endeavor not only to meet their approbation but the continued approbation of all its friends- old and new. For the numerous kind wishes we have received by letter and otherwise, for our personal welfare and success imagine us right here, hat in hand and bending posture. During the coming year it will be the aim of the OPINION to make itself still more what it has for the last several years past been -the great local newspaper, while it will continue from week to week to present to its hundreds of readers a faithful compendium of the news of the week from all parts of the country.

Friday last, a sod of Mr. Reside's hitched Mr. Geo. Ditman's horse in a sleigh, in readiness for the funeral of Mrs. Vanderaw.

In. starting from Mr. D's store on Front St. the animal, which is a vicious one, made a plunge, breaking the bridle bit.He now had free scope, and of course ran off at a terrific rate of speed, Fortunately he did not proceed far, until he became disengaged from the sleigh. With nothing to binder him but the shafts, be continued his flight down Catherine and down Second Streets Turning the corner at Queen, he jumped over a lady who was passing over the crossing, and a little further on ran over some little boys.

The animal was with some difficulty arrested at Cressler's drug store by several colored men.o Remarkable to state, no one was hurt. New YEAR'S -The first day of the new year was characterized by no unusual demonstration in this place. A number of our business places were closed at noon, and clerks and employers took short recess. The old Knickerbocker custom of making calls upon their friends, was indulged in by many of our young people, but we hear of no excesses resulting from such a course. No doubt many new resolutions were formed.

in the morning to govern the actions of the parties making them, during the year, and, doubtless, also, many of the said resolutions were broken before the night closed down. It is always so. Those of our patrons who are indebted to us should feel it a duty to come in, settle up, and commence the New Year with a clear conscience, and relieve us of any embarrassment that their delay in this matter might occasion. WE HAVE received the first number of a new religious journal published at Pittsburg, by Rev. Geo.

B. Russell, and called Our Church Paper. It is another representative of the Reformed Church, and as the issue before us clearly indicates, is conducted with unusual ability. The editor, who WAS for some years Associate Editor on the Reformed Church Messenger, is himself a vigorous writer, and he appears to have been fortunate in calling to his aid gifted assistants. Our Church Paper, then, ought to succeed, and we hope will succeed.

It is a large, eight page, forty column paper, published bi-weekly, and mailed to subscribers at One Dollar a year. Send for specimen copy, and, in the language of the editor's good -natured "Personal," it will then afford an opportunity for forming an acquaintance," and "after you have seen it, you will be better able to say, whether or not, you will subscribe for it." Address Rev. George B. Russell, 367 Liberty Street, Pittsburgh, Pa. POMEROY'S DEMOCRAT, of which everybody has heard, and thousands have read, commences the New Year with a new volume.

As to "Brick" Pomeroy himself, it is needless for us to tell our readers anything about, as he is known the country over. His notoriety as a fearless and independant writer, and model journalist, is world -wide. As a Democrat of the old school, he is respected by Republicans and feared by the late adherents of the mongrel -Liberal Party. Aside from the red-bot articles contained in the Democrat, it a most readable paper, and but for the infamous Democratic doctrines it inculcates, would make a journal desired by every family in the land. Those of our readers, however, who wish to become posted in what the Daare doing, we would advise subscribe, but if they are not pleased with its tone, we wish no blame to attach to us.

Splendid inducements are offered to subscribers who are referred to the proprietor himself. Address, M. M. Pomeroy, P. 0.

A SINGULAR A correspondent of the Lancaster Inquirer, the following singular incident: On Sunday last we noticed two snow birds of the same species in combat with each other on fence. One of them soon lost strength and was killed by its antagonist, which soon commenced to deyour greedily its former mate. The unusually deep snow on the ground covers all the weed stalks bountifully filled with seed, which generally afford provision during the winter season, hence there is starvation among them, which compels them to kill each other for food. THE DEAD The year that has just closed has carried away with it many noted people. Greeley, Seward, Morse, Meade, Halleck, Jaurez, Mazzini, Sir Henry Balwer, Theophile Gautier, Norman M'Cleod, Feverbach, Babinet, Dr.

Lieber, Kensett, Sally, T. Buchanan Read, David Paul Brown, Lowell Mason, Erastus Corning, Simeon Leland, Sir John Bowring, Pollard, Archbishop Spalding, Peter Cartwright, Forrest, Hackett, Bognemil Dawison, D'Aubigne, Garrett Davie, Bennet, Fanby Fern, Eliza Logan, and many other of local reputation. It is a necrological list which shows that the year has been one of unusual fatality. OLD great advantages arise from the Signal Seryice Weather Reports at Washington to the many interests in commercial and agricultural pursuits, the Post Master General has generously extended the benefits to be derived therefrom to towns in daily communication with the department. Chambersburg has been selected as one of the points for this service, and at the post-office, the daily forecaste of the weather can be gratuitously obtained.

The following is a copy of the order issued to Post-master Seiders WASHINGTON, D. Dec. 10, 1872. Arrangements have been made between the Post-Office and War Departments by which one or more of the daily weather reports issued by the Signal Office will be furnished daily to all the Post-Offices that can be reached from the several points of distribution, daily, by mail. As these reports are designed for the benefit of the Agricultural as well as the Commercial interests of the country, the Postmaster General instructs all Postmasters receiving them to post them immediately in the frames supplied for this purpose by the Signal Office.

UNO. A. J. CRESSWELL, Postmaster General. LEFT Us.

-The perambulating bunch of skin and bones, belonging to Senator Brooks, has passed from the sight of our citizens, never more to call forth the gibes and jokes of the thoughtless and unruly. He passed away while the New Year was being ushered in, and if horses live in the hereafter, he need have no fears but that he will grow more comely, and attain a higher state of horse perfection. Our poet has kindly indited the following lines to his memory. Hear him "Troubles, they say, never come single In this troublesome world of ours." So thought and so spoke old Senator Brooks, Midst Seventy-Two's dying hours. Perhaps some may wonder why this remark, And why Mr.

Brooks looked so cross; I'm sure all will say when I tell of his luck That he's met with an irreparable loss. It was one that was not unexpeeted By any who hare gazed on the steed, And the only thing, now, that puzzles us all, Is, how he lived on as little feed. Yes, the old Grey's departed and gone -let us hope To far more congenial climes, Where they work 'cording to law-8 hours a day, And feed at least two or three times, He passed in his checks early this year, And the snow now encircles his form, Bones he was always, bones he'll be still Upon the breaking away of the storm. This Gothic horse specimen will ne'er sgain Be seen by us early or late, And the fly nets and breeches he formerly wore, May be gobbled up by his estate. THE WEATHER CHANGES, Probabilities" has been on a variety of capers during the last week, but in.

making this announcement we are not to be expected to note the changes of weather as they occurred. In all of these changes-rain, sleet, slash, the snow still remains and sleighing is enjoyed. The occasional rains made the pavements icy and slippery, and not a few of those who would tramp the pavements instead of the streets, enthusiastically embraced the 16y foundation, One individual, all smiles, on his way home on Tuesday with a basket containing a set of dishes to surprise his loving better-half, was observed (after picking himself up and making a general survey to see if any one else had seen him fall) carefully to pick up the pieces and place them in his basket, when he took the middle of the street and went on his way a wiser and no deubt a sad. der man because he did not take this precaution in the first place. On the same afternoon, a lady, in ber hurTy to neighbors to borrow a copy of the Spirit, fell.

violently upon the pavement, but happily received no dangerous injuries. On the same errand, the day before, to borrow an OPINION, the expedition was made in safety. The lesson in this is that families should subscribe for and read their own papers, when such excellent journals as these can be bad at prices within the reach of all. But to return to the weather, for a column would not contain the narratives of the mishaps, occasioned by the icy pavements. As we write the indications are that we are to have a general thaw, and it would be well enough for those residing near streams of water, to prepare themselves for freshets.

But there is no telling. We are only in the midst of a very severe winter. THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN has again entered upon another volume, and those of our readers who wish paper filled with everything of a -sense nature should subscribe at once. It is considered the best mechanical paper in the world. Itis devoted to the interests of popular science, the me chanic arts, manutactures, inventions, agricalture, commerce, and the industrial pursuits generally, and is valuable and instructive not only in the workshop, and manufactory, but also in the household, the library and the reading room.

No person engaged in any of the mechanical pursuits should think of doing without the Scientific American. Every number contains from six to ten engravings of new machines and inventions which cannot be found in any other publication. The Scientific American will be found most useful journal to everybody. All the new discoveries in the science of chemistry are given in its columns and the interests of the architect and carpenter are not overlooked, all the new inventions and discoveries sppertaining to these pursuits being published from week to Useful and practics! information pertaining to the interests of mill wrights and millowners will be found published in the le American, which information they cannot possibly obtain from other source. in which printers farmers are interested will he found in the improvements ins VAULT Daithis weathan anuea It is properly, and then in almost 1m- possible to All it with the frozen clods of and These she necessity all cemeteries in this being provided with receiving vaults, where the dead could be placed at inclement seasons of the year, and afterwards interred when the weather would permit.As the case now is, funerals must be postponed, and dead bodice kept unusual periods, causing oppressive gloom in households, and under certain producing dangerous sickness.

These are all good Tensons to induce cemetery companies to build receiving vaults, where the dead could be kept any length of time when the snow prevented immediste burial. We throw out the sug gestion to those whe have power in the prem- For Public Opinion. SCHOOL the last issue of PUBLIC OPINION there is a brief note made of a literary entertainment given by the pupils of the Public Schools of Waynesboro', and the question asked, "Why is it that the Public Schools of Chambersburg and other towns in the county do pot give similar en?" We may not be able to give all the reasons for this, but feel certain that the chief one is the fact that the majority of parents manifest 80 little interest in the exercises daily going on, that most teachers fear that any such effort on their part would not be appreciated The following truthfal account of such a failure can be equalled in the experience of many teachers. The patience of the teacher in question nearly exhausted by his many efforts and failures to get the parents to visit the school, and take an interest in the progress of the scholars. At last he concluded to get up "literary entertainment," to which everybody, and especially the parents, were invited, the most of the latter promising to attend.

All the arrangements were made, the pupils working with might and main in memorizing declamations, writing compositione, etc. Everything went on most auspiciously for a few days. The teacher was so much encouraged by this apparent success that he appeared like new man, working with an energy and ease to which he had a long been a stranger. At length the day which was to crown with success all his labors, and make a revolution in school affairs, dawned bright and beautiful. On his way to school his attention was attracted by numerous showy posters announcing that Blitz would perform the same evening in the basement of the church.

He would swallow swords, handle and all He would turn into a ribbon manufactory, and draw from his capacious abdomen five hundred yards of ribbon for gratuitous distribution. He would put any one's hat on the top of the tallest tree down by Goose Creek, half a mile from the church, without leaving the basement where he performed. ed. The teacher's heart sank within him; but it revived, thinking that any parent of good sense would not hesitate: a moment as to which performance he should attend. On opening school in the morning he was not long in ascertaining that the minds of his pupils were so taken up with the wonderful feats announced by the juggler, that it was almost impossible to go on with the school work.

The conversation of the pupils was entirely about the "show." "wizard," "sword," "four feet long," "cook eggs in bat," were some of the words overheard. Those who could write wore out their pencils writing "Blitz;" the infant lispers wasted their breath saying in rapid succession, "big show big show The parents were equally intent upon seeing the show, and but a few, only four or five, were present. What trivial matters do parents allow to keep them from visiting the schools, and bow often too, do they permit their children to absent themselves for no better reason. At the close of our schools last Spring, there were public examinations to which the parents and the public. were carefully and cordially invited.

So few responded that a stranger who happened to drop in inquired it the scholars were not nearly all orphans! How sad it is to reflect that, educationally and morally speaking, so many children are orphans. 0. Frank C.
