A. RUOFF. l'ittston, Fob. 1»—Cm The Illinois newspapers report an interesting case involving the authority of School Boards over the stndies of pupils, which was decided at Rockford, 111., a few days ago. The plaintiff was Miss Post, and the defendent Mr. ltulinson, teacher in Durand township high school, and among the prescribed studies for the class was kook-keeping. The plaintiff's mother did not want her to study bookkeeping, because she had already as many lessons as the state of her health would permit her to master. She therefore refused to pursue that study and to obtain the necessary books. The directors ordered her expulsion, and the teacher, Rulinson, put her out out of the building, using somo force in the proceeding. Subsequently, her step-father applied for her readmission, but the School Board would not consent to it except on condition thatsho agree to study bookkeeping. The plaintiff appealed to the Circuit Court. The case was tried twice without a decision, but on the third trial the jury under the Instructions of the court, found for the plaintiff, and awarded her $130 damages for trespass on the part of the defendant. Thejudge in his instructions to the jury, held that school directors may adopt reasonable regulations for the conduct of public schools and prescribe a course of study ; but parents and guardians have the right, honestly and in good faith, to select from the prescribed studies the practical ones desire their children or wards to pursue ; that the refusal of a pupil, under instructions from his or her parents or guardian, to pursue the entire list of studies does not warrant an expulsion. It was intimated that a pupil had no right to reject a study from mere caprice or perversity. Under these instructions, the jury found for the plaintiff as above stated. DLAM13, .

This is a specialty of kings and princes; and lilebeins can rarely afford such luxuries. Take these great elegant folios of Lepsius for example, which were printed at the private expense of Fredick William the Fourth, of Prussia, and were distributed around among tho royal families of Europe. It is almost impossible to get a sight of ih ;se twelve volumes of costly prints except through the generosity of some king, or the politeness of some king's librarian. The same may be said of the "Description of de l'Egypt," in thirty-seven volumes, published by authority of the first Napoleon, as well as a great multitude of similar works.

Homcepathic Physician and The case is interesting, because it defines the authority of the State (iu the form of a school board) and the rights of parents, over tho recipients of public education. The tendency of things is toward an exaggeration of the School Board authorities to make it supreme in the matter of the child's instruction, and independent of tho parent. But this decision, while admitting tho Board's authority over the child, but declares that the parents may have a voice, sub?ect to reasonable rules in the selection of their children's studies; in other words that the prior relation of parent and child ia not entirely subjected to that of State and citizen.—American Educational Monthly.

The finest editions of almost every American authors are on these shelves, and Alliborne's dictionary isalways at tho elbow of tho librarian for the discovery of new treasures in this department. One serious lack, however, I found, and tho librarian thanked me for calling attention to the name of Henry Thoreau of whom he had never before heard. He took Alliborne down from the shelf and read some extracts from an English critic derogatory of America's greatest poet-naturalist, which whetted his appetite for an acquaintance; and some of Thorea's choice looks are among the next invoice noted for purchase out of the royal purse. The Queen is very fond of reading English, and is besides one of the most accomplished Christian women in Europe, and I shall fancy her ere long sailing with my favorite author on the Concord and Merrimack, and in tho dreary solitudes of Walden Pond. And so this honest man in liis home-spun will "go to court," and be greeted by princely eyes. And how thankful do you think a man ought to be to Providence, to the King and to his polite librarian for being exalted to this amountof privilege? Such golden opportunities as these, with many of a kindred sort, are some of tho alleviations of exile in this far off land of strangers.

You would like to know how I got in, I suppose; and I will tell you. In exploring the musty records of undent art some months since, I came to a point where, to look through the great work of Lepsius on the "Monuments of Egypt and Ethiopia," seemed nearly a question of life and death. Knowing ones told me that these costly folios were only to be found in cne library in the Kingdom of Wurtemburg, and this the private domain of the King. It is not customary in these parts to invade the dwelling place of royalty without a long probation of preliminary formalities, of which swallowtail coats and white cravats constitute the chief elements. Tact and impudence, however, will sometimes supply the lack of these conditions, and having no prime minister to introduce me, 1 was obliged to call in these reserved forces. The librarian is a Hofrath with a "von" before his surname, and straight up the stairway to his private office I went and knocked at the door. Being admitted by a servant with blue ribbons and gilt buttons, I introduced myself to the high official and frankly told my errand. Borne preliminary conversation was had, in which I had an opportunity to tell the librarian something about American authors, and to learn that he was a dilligent reader and a great admirer of Emerson, whose photograph he very much desired to obtain. Catching the golden chance to make a fuvoruble impression, I immediately offered to send to America for the picture and present it to him. Meanwliilo, I fancied that my host was giving me a pretty thorough looking over, aud cogitating in his mind whether I could be trusted alone in the rich alcoves. He evidently knew human nature ; for we had not conversed together more than half an hour before he summoned the blue and gilt servant into bis presence and ordered him to unlock the door and bring out for my inspection the coveted folios. Hope very often opens the door for Disappointment to shut it. L. B. PERR1N, Prop'r MARKET STREET, Wilkes-Barre, EVERY COMFORT FOR MAN AND BEAST. A ad do pains spared to make all feel at home.

I took hair a peanut shell for a boat. I put him into it and gave him two wooden tooth-picks for oars, and left him. The next morning I visited him, and he had put a piece of white cotten thread in one of the tooth-picks, and set the tooth pick on end as a signal of distress. He had a bait on the other tooth-pick, and there that cockroach set a fishing. The cockroach, exhausted, had fallen asleep. The sight melted me to tears. I never had to chew leather to get a soul. I was born with one. I took that cockroach out, gave him a spoonful of gruel and left.

Robbers of Western trains in this coutry are thrown into the dimmest possible shade by a band, of Spanish brigands, who recently plundered the passengers on a train on the Andalusian railroad, near Puerto Raddolano. Instead of firing wildly at the locomotive and into the cars, and wrecking the engine, by placing obstructions on the track, after the manner of our Occidental highwaymen, the Spanish robbers quietly displayed a danger signal.
