TEACHING GEOGRAPHY-THE " CON¬ CERT SYSTEM." Being very favorable to the dissemiiialion ol useful knowledge among all classu.'i of society, and being favorable to the lianisliinciit of igno¬ rance from our prolific shores, I fed in duly bound, with your periulssiou, lu say a wurd lo the many readers of your valnable paper, re¬ speciing the introduction of a new but improved plan of imparling to tlie ymiibfiil as well as more inaiure mind, a knowledge nf local Geography. This plan or mclliod of leacliiug Geography, was introduced iu our township, (East Hemp¬ field,) about thc lir.'t of October last, by one of the teachers whom we employed lo take cliarge of one of our schools. He commenced teaching in accordance with this system, (which is called ibe Concert System,) without inr|uiring ot the Board of Direclors wheiher be should act thus or not—and conlinueil to occupy about Ilmi min¬ ules eacli day in instructing llic whole school. And all, large and siiinll, re|icntcd together lliis useful branch for tho space of four weeks, at the expiration of whicll time he made it known among the people adjacent to school, that he would have a public examination of his scholars., The people being somewhat astonished to think tbat the teacher would examine bis pupils so soon, hardly knew what lo make of it. How¬ ever, to satisfy tlioir curiosity they turned out.— About eight o'clock in tbe evening the little school house was crowded to overllowing with the fair sons nnd daughters of this seciion of the township. The spectators were considerably shocked to find the liouse superbly decorated with a set of Pelton's Outline IVIaps, which were suspended in conspicuous places around the room. The teacher now calling the liouse lo or¬ der, stated tbat he would proceed to examine his pupils oil the Outline Maps, which contained no names of any of the objects whatever. He commenced pointing out objects on the maps Jiromiscuously with quile a long slick which he kept for that juirpose ; and tbe scholars as soon as the point of the stick was let fail on a moun¬ lain, river, lake, island, gulf, town, or political division, its name was instantly chanted by all ihe class repeating together. After Ibis ex¬ ercise was gone Ihrongh with, the scholars were asked about four hundred Geographical qnes- lions, which they unhesitatingly answered, and correctly too. Several of the scholars were un¬ der five years of age, yet ihose could give the capitals of all tho political divisions ou the Globe wilhout the least hesitancy. Hearing those very young cliildren answer so many useful questions, and seeing them poinl out objects on the maps so readily, the spectators were Iiighly pleased, and considerably disappointed—but happily ilis- appointed. Tliey all left expressing their ajipro- balion of the Concert plan of leaching.
This was the first examiiiattou. Two others were held during the six months of public scliool. The last one I visiled in order to ascer¬ tain whether the scholars had made any pro¬ gress. I found to iny astonishment ihal they had firogressed unusually well, not only in geogra¬ phy, but in English graininnr, reading, writing, &c. Upwards of six hnndred geographical and grammatical questions were unswcrcd by the scholars at tbe last examinalion. Five hundred of which the parents of the scholars U'onld have failed to have answereii had Ihey been asked ilieni. Now, hearing in mind, reader, that only ten minutes each day were devoted to the in¬ struction of the scholars in geography, it must undoubtedly follow that this system is a good one, and is calculated to leach in advance of the old one, and should be inlroduced into all our schools. '\\''heu so many important questions— questions too whicii every scholar should be com petent to answer—can be learned in such a limi¬ ted period, and be indelibly impressed upon the mind, (by teaching in accordance with tbe Con¬ cert plan,) that ihey^ tho learners, retain lliein with unusual tenacity; can there exist an inlel¬ ligent or reflecting citizen in our country ihat would dare come out and oppose ihe Conceri System. Is there a friend Of education in our great country that would oppose the introdnclion of a system that is considered by ail who have investigated or examined it ihoroughly, lo be superior lo ihe one formerly used in our Institn- lions of learning, iu Ihree respects, namely : fa¬ cility of acquirement, durability of imiiression, and discipline of the mind. Certainly none who are favorable to the scattering of uselnl inforuia- lion among all classes antl ranks of .'Society, can or will say aught against ils iiitrodiiclioii.
The Direclors of the  Public   Schools of Easl Hempfield, I nndersiand, arc so  much  pleased with the "Concert System," that they are deter¬ mined  to  nse  their  influence  in  having each school honse in the townsliip decorated with Pel- ton's Outline Maps.    I hope llieir exertions may be  crowned  with  success; and that the maps will be fonnd to be of great bcne/tt and of va-sl importance to the tdiildren who visit the schools to learn, I  have  not  the  least  doubt.    F.very school  honse  in :he county should be fnrnished with a set of Pelton's Maps.. The system has met with the approbalion of the friends of-learn¬ ing wherever it has been introduced.    In Dela¬ ware connty they have introduced the system with admirable success.    Now, if ilic people of Delaware county bave come  to tlie conclusion, after examining the*system, that it is in many respects superior to llic oid one, and that it i.s the only correct method of imparling a knowledge of local Geography ; wc, the cilizens of Lancas¬ ter connty, ought by all means give it a trial; and if we arc the friends of education we shonld use  our  influence  to  have   it   taught in every scliool house in Ihe county.    And more jiarticu- larly ought school direclors and committees look to this inatter.    If any improvement be intro¬ duced, which   upon   examination be foiinif to be better than the one previously nsed, the  Di¬ rectors should see to have it introduced into their schools, if they desire to keep np with the age. In conclusion, t would state that the i.itroiluotion into  East Hempfield  has  been  tbe  means of awakening many of its inhabitants to a sense of their duty; and as they are a going to use their influence to have the system spread, I hope and trust they will sncccd ; and  as  the Ladies  are willing to lend their aid and  influence—all the combined and allied power of ignorance, earth, and  h—1, cannot stop  thcin   from  prosecuting THALES.

About two 5"oars ago an only son of Mr. Biuce, a respeclable farmer of IMllfoid Mass. came lo Boston wilh a load of slraw, and was never aifain seen alive by his parenls or friends. iVo tidings wore leaint of his fale till a few wesks ago,a daughter of Mr. Bruce consulted a woman named Freeman, a clairvoyant. The result of that interview was the finding of the body ill the public lomb on the neck, and the fact.> in relalion to it were imperfcclly publish¬ ed ill the papers al the time. We yesterday had an interview wilh Mr. Bruce, the falher ol the unfortunals young man. whose remains were found through the instrumenlnlity of Mrs. Freeman, the self .styled clairvoyant, and from his ovcp. lips we have gained the following ad¬ ditional particulars. iVe do nol intend to dis¬ cuss the merits of mesmerism, or offer argu¬ ments in .support of Ihat science, for the pur¬ pose of making converts, but, as faithful Jour¬ nalists lo givea recital of facts, which are of the most startling character and which will prove that "trnth is strange, stranger than fic¬ tion". Mr. Bruce informed us that the disap¬ pearance of his son was wrapt in profound mystery, for nearly two 5'ears jhe left his home in Milford in perfeci health, and never relurned; every inquiry was made, but no ti¬ dings learnt of him, letters were sent to friends and mes.sengers scoured the conntry in all di¬ rections, but all to no purpose. They at last gave up the forlorn hope, and lamented their son as one lost to them forever. Duringa visit of his daughter to Boston, c'nance directed her sleps to the hou.se of Mrs. Freeman the mes¬ merist. In the course of Ihat interview she lold herof her family bereavement—the mj-s- lerious disappearance of her brolher, and spoke of the unwearied efforts which the fam¬ ily had made lo get some clue of his wherea¬ bouts: she also told her that the body of her brother lay interred in the tomb belonging to to llie city on The Neck.
Miss Bruce >vas deeply depressed wilh the recital of the clairvoyant, aud overcome by her feelings, she suddenly terminated her mis¬ sion to lioslon, and retnrned home, communi¬ cated to her falher whal she had heard, aud prevailed upon him to accompany her to Bos¬ ton immediately. Onarriviugherebolh wenl to the house of Mrs. Freeman, the daughter was placed in communication wilh the clair¬ voyant, and Mr. Bruce obiained permission lo be present during the examination. The clair¬ voyant lold the lady that the body of young Bruce lay interred in the city's tomb on the Neck, and then wenl on accurately lo describe his dress and appearance. Mr. Bruce was overpowered by his feelings at the strange recital, for, said he, '¦ I never ihought any¬ thing about mesmerism. I've heard tell of it oflen, but never believed much about it," and he straightvray went to work to get permission to enter this sepulchre of the dead, and to see if these tilings were so.
Upon entering the lomb, he fonnd a body lying exactly as described", entombed wilh the cloihes and dress, except bools; and the mo¬ menl he saw the dress, lie e.xclaimed, " That is my dear .son—I know il's my boy!" The pantaloons on the corpse were striped very widely, and the .shirt had marks whieh the father could not misiake. [n one of Ihe pock¬ ets was a wallet, which the father conld swear to ; it contained some thread and needle.s, and bulloii.s, which the deceased was in the habit of carrying there, and a very large needle, sucli as is ii.sed by sail-makers.
The leelh in one of the jaws, and tho hair also, furnished the most positive proofs of iden¬ tity. The former, said Mr. Brnce, were pecu¬ liar, two of them were parlicularly marked	
These two he look from the jaw, and also a small lock of hair.
Mr. Brace having fully identified the body, was permilted by the se.xton to remove it, and the unfortunate deceased was conveyed to Milford, and there placed in the family x'ault. The friends of Mr. Bruce thoughi that the subject of his son's sirange disappearance and death, de.served a serious investigation, and with the inlerest of a fond parent, mourning over the death of an only son, he came again to Boston, lo inve.stigate cooly and propeily all the circumstances. Again, through Ihe clair¬ voyant, he learned where his son put up hia span of horses and sled, "which was at East¬ man's slable in Deacon street; upon inquiring there, and referring to the books, he found the name J. Bruce, from Chelmsford, booked against a charge for horse feeding, answering to the day and dale of his son's arrival; he asked Mr. Eastman why the town of Chelms. ford was written, vv-hen his son's home was Milford, and he lold him he gol it from the City Scales' book. This, however, was a mis¬ take, for, upon the Cily Scales'book, was writ¬ ten,'• J. Bruce, Milford.'' From Mr. East¬ man he also learnt, that no one coming for the horses, they were in due lime adveriised in three newspapers, and sold at auction lo pay the expenses, whicii they cleared and fivo dollars over. From other information, it vpas I ascertained to whom bis son sold his load of straw.
In this interview, he was lold that the sled was sold by young Bruce himself, lo a jobber, whose name was given by Mr. Eastman. Mr. Bruce wished lo see the man, not believing that his son would sell property that did not belong to either father or son, and it was only by the most steadfast determination and search that he saw the man, and from him obtained a receipt, winch purported to be signed by young Bruce. Mr. Bince immediately pro- nounced this a forgery, and said he could prove to the satisfaction of any man, that his son never signed that paper. And now Mr. Bruce began to feel a suspicion that foul play had been used ; that his boy never came to his dealh from a dispensation 'of Providence but was in some way murdered ; and he set abont in good earnest, but with the ulmosl caution, lo gather such facts as to his son's movements as it was possible to obiain from living witnesses.
He again sought Mr. Eastman, and asked him where he last saw his son alive. Mr. E. related how became to the slable and ordered the horses to be put up for the night, and plomised lo call the ne.xt day. He saw him the next moining sianding on the sidewalk near the stable, and this was the last time he ever beheld bim. 1    Mr. Bruce now returned to the honse of the
clairvoyant, Mrs Freeman, and was put in mental conversation with her. We now wisb the reader to note these remarkable facls care¬ fully, comparing them with the truthful resnlls of former interviews and WR have one o[ the most startling recitals on record. Condemn it for absurdity we cannoi, nor are ive content to scout the doctrine, for the reason grounded on old philosophy, that no created being is ca¬ pable of putting on the attribute of the Great Omnipotent, and falhominathe secrets of the hnman heatt, whether they bo for good or evil. VVe are unwilling to attempt to reason it away. Here are thc facts; Ihey are plain fiom the lips of Mr. Bruce himself,jwlio is willing to attest lo the truth of them. Thai the reader may know that there could be no colhision in the mailer, we will slale that the facts we are about to relate were not sugges¬ ted by any leading question or foreknowledge.
The clairvoyant premised by saying, you have laken your son home to Milford and buried him, describing e.xaotly how he was interred and olher facts as lo the funeral, and you have now come to Bosion lo learn the his¬ tory of his fate. Sho lold how he identified the body, and then said, you have now in your waistcoat pocket two of his teeth and lock of his hair, which was correct. She then went on lo state what transpired on the morning the yonng man left home and told one circum¬ stance of his team having been stuck in the mud, and his father and others assisting to help him out, which was every way correct and well remembered by the neighbors.
Vou have seen Mr. Eastman, resumed the clairvoyant, and from him you have learnt that the last lime your son was seen alive by any one, was upon the sidewalk near the slable. She related accurately all the conversation which he had wilh Mr. E., and said, I am prepared to tell you the whole, and where and how your son ended his days. He was invi¬ ted by , said she, to visit a notorious
gambling and drinking house in street,
and he readily consented to go.    When  he
got there it was resolved by and	
and to rob him of his money; and for
this purpose they invited himlo urink, and the belter to carry out their evil purposes, they drugged his liquor. They iniended not to kill him, but lo so far throw him into a stu¬ por that they might take his money and effects wilhout being known ; but ihe Almighty had ordained it otherwise. Tho poison was mix¬ ed in lob potent a draught and look a firm hold of vitality; the youlh was thrown into a slupor,and then a fierce and violent vomiting.— [n these deadly retchings, he burst two blood vessels, and in two hours he bled to dealh.— Overcome by remorse, and lo shield ihem¬ selves from Ihe ignominy which their crime deserved, the devil prompted them to place the body where the eye of mortal should never behold it, and for this purpose, Ihey wrapped it up in a course mat, and in the dead hours of the night, having tied a rope about the neck, attached to a slone of sufiicient weight, they took it in a boal in the bay, and sank it in the water. This, said the clairvoy¬ ant, is the manner in which your boy came to hisdcalh. The chief instrument oflhis bloody
transaction was , and that bill of sale
for llie aled was not signed by your son, as you have pioved by a just comparison with his own true signature, but it was made by Mr.	
In this narrative, the clairvoyant mentioned the name of the place, and where young Bruce was slaughtered, and tho names of the indi¬ viduals concerned in it; bnt we do not deem it proper to publish them.
When young Bruce's body was found iu the tomb of the Neck, ihrough the instrnmentality of this clairvoyant, so startling and strange were the developments, ihat it was deter¬ mined then lo test her snpernatnral knowledge a little farther, agd to this end she was ques¬ tioned as to the internal appearance of the tomb. She described young Bruce as having been buried with his clothes on, and that no other per.son was interred in like manner in ihe tomb, whicll was irne. She also .said Ihat there was one coffin there, which was sup. posed to contain a body -when buried, bnt said she, there are in it two large bags of sand, of the weight ofthe body, the coffin having been
robbed of the dead by Doctor , and aSe.x-
ton , was privy to it. In the tomb a cof¬ fin was found as described, and two large sand bags in it.
We have now given the principal facts as related to us by Mr. Bruce, leaving our read¬ ers to draw what inference ihey see fit. Mr. Bruce is now in Boston for the purpose of act¬ ing upon the hints given him by the clairvoy¬ ant. His first inquiry ia to know, whether a body has been found in any of our docks with a lope about the neck, about the lime his son was lost, and his next inquiry, under what cir¬ cumstances the body which he has identified as that of his son, found its way into the pub¬ lic lomb upon The Neck. He will then go farther, and as far as buman power will ad¬ mit, guided by the instructions of the clair¬ voyant, and endeavor to ascertain who were the murdererti of his son.
We have so nearly attained the niladmira- ri point, in Ihesedaysof all sorts of isms, Ihal nothing we read of ihis kind excites us much, —except to laughter.   Now, that the city of Boston, in the middle of  the  ]91h century should   allow   itself to bo   humbugged   by such a farrago of Munchausenisms as the above article is composed of surpasses the in finite of marvel.   A woman undertakes to say that a man was murdered, at such a lime, such a way, and was buried in a certain tomb, and describes the clothes in which he was dressed,—and the body is found, and in the :he place designated,and wilh all the incidents abom it jusl as declared.    Nay, more, the "claitvoyant," in the course of her slory, calls the names of some half dozen persons, who had something lo do, she said, with the mur¬ dered man, before and after; a faculty never till now so much as even intimated by these humbuggists as pertaining to their pretended science of Clairvoyance.   And all this is set down  as  plausible, if not true, iu an enligh¬ tened city  like  Bosion ; and this pretended seer of the past, the preset, and the future, is allowed to go free, and palter her "astound¬ ing developments" of robberies and murders she shows she knows   something.-far  too much for her own possible innocence,—about" wiihoui an effort on the part of the authorities to ascertain all she might, rnuch more easily awake  than asleep, disclose.     One  would think that we in this age had all' eaten of the insane root,' indeed 1
AMERICAN vs. FOREIGN 'DEMOCRACV.' The English Chartists, too, who are so much admired by onr Democracy, as fellow laborers in the same cause, we see, have some nolions which do not look mnch like imitation of our locofocos. Take the follow¬ ing, from a lale London paper, with regard to their notions on Free Trade.
From Ihe LonJou Moniiui; Posi, .Vpril 13. We find that at Ihc assembly of Chartists cal¬ led the " National Convention," a statement was made on Tuesday evening ot the harm done to the working classes by the import ot commodi¬ ties wliich might as well bo manufactured at home. Thi.s, wc think, is a rational ground ot complaint, and in that respect difl'ers from many of the complaints which find the loudest express¬ ion at the " Convention." It was stated that thc peojjle were in deep distress owing^ to llie commercial policv at iiresent ado|itcd in England, by which foreign inaiiul'aclurcd articles were brought in at reduced duties, while the raw ma¬ terial bore a heavy diuy—ihat w"hile ibe poor man paid a high price for sugar, tca,con"ce, },e., the rich had cheap musical boxes, clieap work boxes, cheap mahogany tables, &c., 10 the det¬ riment of the interests of the home inanntnoturer. Wc submit to the consumers of foreign commod¬ ities of such kinds as our F.nglish workmeii can produce, thnt they would do well 10 join the pop¬ ular demand for laying on the old.]irotoctive du¬ ties. In such articles as arc above enumerated it is nnt true that the rich get them any cheaper than thcy did before Sir Robert Peel played tricks with foreign tariffs. The foreign producer and others who stand between him and the rich En¬ glish consumer obtain the benefit of the reduc¬ tion of duty, bnt the Brilish workman feels the effect bolh in the diminution of work and in thc rcdiiclion of bis wages for snch work as he is still able to obtain. The member of the Con¬ venlion who brought forward ihe statement, ob¬ served, that " wliether they ever obtained the People's Charter or not, thai was a subject that deserved the serious attention of the working classes, namely, to endeavor to obtain a proper system of protection tor labor." That observa¬ tion we heartily commend. The " Peophi's Charter," as it is called, is a piece of political extravagance, which docs not meet thc approba¬ tion of any section of those who possess political inilncnce. The Chartists have no more reason to expect the carrying into effect of that prepos¬ terous scheme of revolution than they have to expect that all persons ot education in England will become cowards or madmen. It is there- tore impossible to condemn too strongly the tu¬ multuary demonstrations wliicb are made iu favor ot that impossible thing Ihe Charter. But lot the working classes, iu an earnest, active, con¬ stitutional manner, endeavor to obiain a proper system of protection tot British labor, and Ihcy havo at once a considerable party iu ibe House ot Commons on ihcir side—a party composed of ihc best blood ot f'nglaii J, and expressing En¬ gland's best feelings. Tn ask tor prolcctinu to Brilish labor is to ask what is rational and fair— it is to nsk that with whicll a great and infiucn- tial portion ot the Brilish pnblic will sympathize. Tliere is no need In hunt np nameless advcntil- rers 10 siqiporl siirdi a cause as ihat—there is no need for dcinoiislrations ot u tuniultary assem¬ blage to give weigh to suoh a demand as that.—: Wo iherefore advise llic laboring classes of En¬ gland 10 have nothing to do with the impossible scheme of the Charter, bill to press for that which is justly thoir due—ihc protection ot their labor. ,\nd if llicy do press for it earnestly, and in a conslilnlional manner, ihey will no doubt ob¬ tain it from the Legislature as at present consti- tnled.
no doubt, it will be wilh this machine. It I does its work so rapidly, regularly and strong¬ ly, thai it must come into extensive use. A machine for a family nse will not cost over fifty dollars. Any girl of leu years can work it The woik is performed standing, or, if prefer¬ red, it can be worked with a treadle. No fam¬ ily able to raise fifty dollars will be wilhou'. one, for the interest nn the cost is not equal lo two weeks' board of aseamstress; and any one w.ho can thread a needle and turn a screw, may learn in ten minutes how to use it, and with il do more work in a day than len men conld per¬ form.—Wiih Ihe ad vanlage oflhis kind of nee¬ dle work in view, ihere can be no doubt of its final success, and of the great change it will effect in a variety of ways in the condition of society.

A WoNDERFi'L Invention.—A yonng gen¬ tleman in the State of New Hampshire has re¬ cently invented a sewing machine, which will constitute him king of Needledom. I have seen it in operation. It sews a foot in length of broad clolh in two minutes, pulling three times the number of stitches usually made in the same length. No lady on earlh, nor man either, can doit with the same regularity. The fincsi cambric stitching executed in the com¬ mon way, appears coaise and unfinished when compared wilh the work of this machine. Il matters not "n'hat is the form of the seam an¬ gular, straight, or circular, it goes regularly along with its steady, yet rapid pace, without being hindered by any change in the line of motion. The work is stronger and not so apl to rip as that performed by hand. It does all the work about a coat, pantaloons, vest, shirt, cloak, ladies' dresses, &c., except making the button-holes and sewing on the buttons. Two mon and four girls will do more work with this machine, than thirty persons can do withoul it. A quarter hoise power will drive more than fifty of Ihera with ease.
Il is capable of making bools aud .shoes; also harness for horses, &c. It can be applied to the making of sails for ships. Indeed, what¬ ever a needle can workj it can work. Now, what shall we call this king of Needledom— a lady blesser ? or a lady curser '^ That it will effect a great revolution in the affairs of raen, cannot be denied. They who now sup¬ port themselves and babes by sewinjj, at the present miserable low prices, must give up thimble and needle,and lookout for other meth¬ ods of gaining a living. The price for making clothes, and indeed for all kinds of sewing, mu.st come down. Now what is to become of those who heretoforo have depended on the needle for a living ? No doubt some way will be opened up for them.—Spinning machines, rail roads, steamboats, canals, and all labor saving machines, in the end have added to Ihe comfort of socieiy, allhough their intro- cuction may have deranged for a while for¬ mer modes of dependencies of society; so,
