Public Meeting. Pursuant to notice, public meeting was lt in Heverly settlement school-house, Overon Suturday evening Dee. Ist 1855, the i impose of an interchange of senti- on the subject of Common Schools, in cmneetion with the County Superintendent, on IM llottensteiujwas appointed I'resiand Kli Heverly and Owen MeCann, Secretaries. Vt'ter some discussion by Wm. Walt man i James Heverly and others, tle following revolutions were introduced by Wm.

Waltman motion of Josiah Keinbolt, were )V a large mojoritv, as expressive of the sollS of the meeting. llfstlml, That in the opinion of this much of the law "For the regulation sU iii eontinuance of a system of education by Vminoii Schools" as authorizes the School directors in each County of the to meet in convention at the seat of Justice in the said Counties, to elect County Superintendent, ought not be repealed, till it 1,0 tried fairly for a term of not less than three years. Iced, That in ourj opinion, experience lias alreadv demonstrated that such an officer necessary, for a certain number of years to co-operate with the School Directors of the several townships, to explain the law, point out the duties of Directors, examine and rejoet deficient and ignorant teachers which, in our opinion, has a tendency to facilitate and elevate our Common Schools. That as the commonwealth pays our Cmmtv Superintendent a salary to assist in the promotion of our Common Schools, we are not so liberal as to reject his help, and so enlightened as to reject the spontaneous iuvtructions conferred by our Commonwealth. Resolved.

That, knowing that our Superintendent lias a very large County to travel thro', ami manv schools and teachers to inspect, ini nmiallv. cannot visit the schools as often a he would if the distance would admit, Jltsohrd, That we would not by any meaus rnjue.it our Superintendent not to pay us any more visits, but to visit us as often as possible a- we finnlv believe that by his aid we can yet uo something to advance the Common School deed. That we most heartily approve of the plan of a Uuiforin Tax system throughout the State'' to raise a school fund, as has been, and is being put in operation by Mr. (O VEU, and we pledge ourselves that we will use onrbest endeavors in conjunction with our unity Superintendent to have the same become a law. Resulted, That we have full confidence in tin? ability, and profound resjiect that our SupcrintcMKloiit has, with regard to his duty.

Res deed. That these resolutions be published in the Bradford Reporter. On motion meeting Adjourned. Signed by the officers. THE AMERICAN MINISTER LONDON.

subjoined letter was addressed by Mr. IJiiehanan, our Minister in England, to the Times licwsjirijier.detiying the statement which had been put forth by that paper of assurauces eii to the Jlritisli Government by the America' Minister, when the war first broke out in Mast, of the sympathy and support of our and pcojile, and that the I nited States were willing to make the quarrel of Knglawl their own, and ready to aid her with thousands of stout hearts and brawny arms. There were abundant reasons why nobody on tlii- -ide the Atlantic, we presume, gave any. ercilencc to so improbable a statement, which indeed carried contradict ion on its face yet was proper that the minister should meet sn positive and grave an allegation with the prompt and explicit contradiction which is contained in the annexed note addressed to the Times, but which it appears that print hud the unfairness to refuse to publish "The American Minister presents his COUP plimeuts to the editors of tlie Times, and as-ares them that they have been "misinformed" with respect to the expressions and condu uttributed to him in the leading article of this morning. Always mindful of the neutrality his Government, whicli he fully approves, na- with deep rcgre-t that he learned as he lir-t did from Washington, that attempts were itin the United States to recruit soldiers the British army because lie felt that tile-'' attempts would tend to weaken friendly relations between the two which has been his ardent desire, ever his arrival in England, to cherish and promote.

The American Minister can, of course, nter into no discussion in the public journals questions Ix'twcen the two Governments, or ite what is or what is not contained in any' 'irespondenee which may have arisen out of ijuostions but lie has felt it due liotli to tlie Times and himself to make this prompt correction. Strrrf, London, AW. 1, 1855." Ov HIS orrcsponden of The fviriul, writing from New-York, tells the following: Aa incident transpired here last week that mmle iiene talk among the parties who jhid knowledge of the matter. A lady ''a the of Maine came to this city her way to California. She had as arms revolvers ami a bowie-knife.

The con'r purchased her a ticket in the Califor- a steamer and she left in the vessel at noon. 'T story is this: A short time since her obtained of all her wealth, "everted all he could turn into gold, and 'h'serted his family, took a ship and start'l rir tlie of gold, round Cape '''l this is not the worst; lie took with him male not his wife. Injured and maddened, started after licr recreant lord; love, but from hate not to recover of hq- absconding husband, but to to him a deserved chastisement; lo take him back, but to shoot him and Whipanion. Wind, weather and steam ie la, b' will reach Callifornia jj' at in advance of her absconding mate. 110 doubt be rather surprised to meet j' 'J'hip on the California landing; and shakes the wrath out of meeting will not be one of the most that can be immagined." Et EXHIBITION.

EMPRESS EUGENE. Paris correspondent of the Courier des Etats I 'nix, speaking of the French Empress, says "ller interesting condition is becoming more and more apparent.

When similarly circumstanced, some ladies endeavor to conceal the fact from the public but Queens, on the contrary, should let it be apparent, so that there may be no doubt concerning the prospect of an heir to the throne, as lias hapjieued more than once. Modesty should give way in such a case to the interests of the State. Fi.orn ron THE CRlMEA. the past two or three weeks some 20,000 barrels of flour have been purchased a firm in this city for the British government Its destination is the Crimea. This flour has been paid for at an average of about $7 75 per barrel, which amounts to the round sum of $150,000.

VKH, formerly of Wysox. The snows of sixty-five winters had fallen upon her head, and as the changing years went by. each day did she hecame more and more like the meek and lowly One," at whose feet she loved to sit. Oh beautiful was the Christian's how sweet like her to fall asleep in Jesus' awake in heaven. The Death-angel comes, and his dark shadow near us, Shuts out from our hearts the glad sunlight of earth His rustling wings round a loved form are folded, A place is left vacant beside the home hearth.

Ye weep for the mother, who long lmtli been spared yon, The best and the truest friend Con hath e'er given At her knee was whispeivd the low prayer of childhood, And there ye first learned of a Father in Heaven. It grieves us to see the soft eye of affection Grow dim, as the night of the grave stealcth on And weak nature faints, when the sigh of the dying 1- ist in this heart-crushing sentence," She's gone." The bright eye of youth, and the stern brow of manhood, And woman's fair cheek, are to-day wet with tears, An aged one, too, weeps an only dear sister, On Mother's calm face a new sorrow hard to look down where the green sods are falling, So heavy and damp, on the sleeper's cold breast, And feci that the requiem sounding above her, Can wake her no more from this sweet dreamless rest. Her locks had grown white lieneath time's frosty finger, And lines of deep sorrow upon her brow lay The roses of summer had bloomed in her pathway, And winter's chill tempests oft darkened her way. Then why should we mourn Her long journey is ended, The weary one rests with lier Savior to-day. With angels behold! she bows down to adore him, And soft hands have wiped the last tear-drops away Ah yes.

she is gone while the sun's setting glories Yet gilded the clouds in the rose-tinted sky, The pearly gates opened, while fair forms descended, And sweet voices whispered her summons to die. Then cherubs, with wings bathed in heavenly odors, And wet with the bright dew that sparkles above, To mansions of bliss welcomed home the free spirit, And strung their soft lyres to an anthem of love. The frail flowers of hope that once faded around her, Are found blooming fresh in those beautiful bowers With husband and children, with friends re-united, How joyfully now pass Eternity's hours.

Tlt VCY A JIOORE. ittisrdlaneont. "FISH AND PHILOSOPHY." DIl. JOHN M'INTOSII, Would inform the inhabitants of Bradford county tlrnt he rcsiiectfully solicits silbscrUiers for his local work entitled FISH PHILOSOPHY, or Sketches made During a Short Sojourn in Northern Pennsylvania." The hook will consist of from 250 to o(Mi and will bound in embossed muslin. The price will fIJK).

As the work was not written to vindicate any particnlar theory, or to advance any particular interest, it is difficult to say what it aims than to help while away a leisure hour or two, in what the Author hopes, not unprofitable reading. The pages are chicly devoted to descriptions of local scenery incidents wlnle Trouting on theSehrader branch; literary criticisms and reminiscences conversations, developments of local character, poetry and philosophical reflections. As the publication of the hook is not a qnestion of bread, the author can use the liberty of speaking plain. In the first place, then, lie cannot afford to publish the hook would he if he could for the simple reason, lie is unwilling to shoulder the responsibility of committing Jook to the world. Me therefore seeks to make a corptffate Concern of it, and thus share with the subscribers the odium of failure, should it fail.

It is a purely gratuitous matter, gentlemen, sign, or not sign. In the second place, the' author is unwilling to have liis stock of books added to, by too many hundred copies of a work that failed redeem the price if its publication neither docs he desire the horror of witnessing the awfuj spectacle of an what cost Him so much pains and time to creitd lio Certainly would eoiniiiit to tbe fiatues wbjf remained unsold of the edition, should they remain too long on his hands. He is determined to pay the publisher on the receipt of the edition, should it bo printed, asking no favors and if COO subscribers can be had, he ill do so. He can afford, however, to wait, should the GOO refuse to come to the rescue. The MS will not diminish in value.

It will remain as it has done, cherished by the owner, as was cherished and loved '-the poor man's one little ewe lamb, that was unto liini as a d.Higher." The author will ask 110 one to undertake to publish it on the strength of its merits: perhaps from pride, perhaps from a prophetic apprehension of its lack of merit. determine if lie did well to he influenced by the latter consideration. The author will further say, that should the desired number of subscriptions be obtained, he will feel tempted to promise an embellished a medallion likeness of the principal character, l)r. Plum. And should a socoud edition follow, exert ali'thc influence he can command to secure for the original snbserilicrs a lock of that distinguished individual's hair as thank Heaven, he is appreciative, and, judging fromfhis antecedents, the author lias 110 doubt that Plum would gladly wear a wig for a whole year, to have the pleasure of furnishing to his friends so iuteieeWng a souvenir.

The publication of the book, then, is dependent on the receipt.of GOO subscribers, and one mouth will be allowed for u. "cs to be given in. If, at theexplration of that time only one person has subscribed, or any other number between that acd very closely approximating it book will iivt of course be expected to sec the light. But, if the entire number he obtained, tluise who have signed, will, in three months from the closing of the subscription lists, be supplied with ft ropy, or copies, as they may have ordered.
