The flag staff of a school house was struck by lightning last Friday. Owing, however, to the officiant discipline übd the admirable self possession of the teacher, a panic (no unusual thing in our public school*) was happily prevented. The rooms on the lower lloor aro connected with the roof by flues, and in one of these the «deetrio fluid seemed to collect in larger quuutiiios than in the olhers. The scholars, who are young, were fearfully alarmed. Somo of them rose in their scats ready to run, and a stampede was imminent. With u glance the teacher took in the state of affairs, and instantly, and in a cheerful voice, she started one of tho famil iar little songs so well known in our primaries. This simple expedient of the teacher acted like magic ; their attention wns drawn from the cause of their fears, her stimulated coiifi deuce excited a real sense of security in them, and their safety was secured. t'eallnn I.cnte. This old proverb, “Hasten slowly,” is worthy of. consideration now-a-days. Our people seem to forget its wisdom when they rush through the streets in a gal!op t when the mercury ranges from ninety to one hundred degrees. They gain nothing by their hurry, except to learn the truth of another saying, “The more haste tho worse speed;" for when they reach ilicir goal they find themselves utterly unable to accomplish the business which incited their journey. * I‘crsonul. There is a certain girl in this city who talks so much, and knows all about every thing that docs or does not happen, and everything that is going to happen, besides a good deal else, that it has been sug gested that the Postmaster seriously eon template tho propriety of taking the letter list from the newspapers, and giving it to her, on the ground that sho has the largest circulation of any medium in town. School Children. Perhaps it may be superfluous to call the attention of our teachers to the fact that the enervation which the presont warm weather produces upon the human system makes continued and closo applica tion to study incompatible with the health of the young. Wc can not help saying, however, that it is bettor, far better, to forego their anticipated progress during the warm season, than, by excessive stirnu lation of their mental powers when the physical system is relaxed, to render them incapable of exertion when the elements shall bo moro favorable to their progress. * Beware of Benzine. From the facility with which it removes grease spots from fabrics, this substance lias come to bo regarded almost as a household indispensable. But few persons, however, realize the explosive character of benzine, nr the dangers attending careless handling of the liquid. Being the most volatile and inflammable product resulting from tho dis tillation of petroleum, it vaporizes with great rapidity, so that the contents of a four ounce vial, il overturned, would render the air of a moderate sized room highly explo sive. The greatest care should be exercised in handling this substance, in proximity to fire, and it is important to remember that the vapor escaping Iroin an uncorked bottle will cause a flame to leap over a space of several feet. * Silver ( hange. There are silver coins enough in the country to serve the purposes of change. It is not in circulation because it is not current at its market value. It can not be exported, like gold. Il is simply lying dormant because there is no currency for il it in true value. A little monetary genius on tho part of our retail traders would bring out all this hoarded silver change to take the place of the fractional notes. The currency rate for gold has not varied far from $1.40 fora long time. This would be a sale standard by which to fix the current value of the frac tional silver coins ; and if tiiey were current at this, they would come into circulation. Concert of action among our retail dealers might give us this clean change, and drive out the obi oxious fractional notes, which have beeyi so largely counterfeited that there is a genera! feeling ol uncertainty in regard to them. Satiirdny-Aftcrnooii SJol i<l« ys, We notice that in -some o( thc principal cities, many business men have agreed to close their houses at three o’clock on Satur day afternoons—to give re-creation to their employees. Now, il our great wholesale mercantile houses would adopt a similar measure, employers, clerks, and all would be greatly henefitted, and citizens would soon adapt their wants to thc hours. Saloons and cigar stands, newspaper offices and hotels are about the only places that could not make such a change. Men must drink and smoke, must read ihe papers and lounge in the bar rooms of hotels. Life would hardly be worth the living without such articles of prime necessity. So, mixers of brandy smashes and whiskey punches, venders of pipes and the fragrant weed, reporters and editors, and hotel clerks, can have no hours of recreation. No half Saturday holidays. “Tbc man iti Ilie moon,” This mythical individual has at length been accurately described. A professor of the mysteries of spiritualism recently visited the moon, by and with the advice and con sent of the ghost of Ben. Franklin. He says: The anatomical structure of the inhabitants of the moon is peculiar; they are, on tho average, about three feet high, having very large round heads, with a couple ol horns in front, and something resen.bling human faces on thc buck side of the cranium; they always walk sidewise, like large odd looking crabs, with the face turned over the ghoul dors as they walk; they have very large, protruding eyes, one on either side of the nose, which is broad, snout like, and turns up at the end; they wear clothes of an exceedingly coarse and peculiar lend of grass, only found in tho moon, woven to gether by a very simple process, and they are lon the whole a very intelligent race of oddi ties, greatly given to the study of ineta physics. l[|l said that tf’si*ce of lard a* Urge as a walnut, mixed with dough, will cause a hen to comtucnco laying immediately after she has been broken up from setting ; and by giviug hens lkt ( yi this way they may be kept laying nil winter. military. From a circular issued from Gen. Meade’s headquarters on the 19th, we extract iho follpwiiig: The office of Superintendent of Resist ni tration for the State of Georgia (E. Hulbert, Superintendent) having been closed, all communications on Registration, or business connected with that office, will bo addressed to Col. James F. Melinc, General Inspector of Registration, Third Military District, Atlanta, Ga. Train RCKiilaiiann. It is not known where the following mani festo came from, but it is emphatically good : General Scckrixtenuent’s Office, 1 May, 1808. J Rule l.—No train, alter this date, will be made up of a greater length than the height of the propelling power. Rule 2. —In coming down heavy grades (church steps, for instance) first class trains will move as rapidly us safety will allow; but all accommodation trains will proceed slowly and stop frequently, to allow people to step on the trains. Caution, however, is necessary in starting up while people arc so engaged, to prevent accidents. Rule 3.—A1l trains to be held .up at crossings. All empty “flats” standing on the “sidings” at the time should be switched off. Rule 4.—When three or more trains are proceeding in company, they should always muve side by side, and on no account what ever change ibis position. Trains ap proaching from tho opposite direction must keep out of the way. (This rule is impera tive.) Rule s.—ls it is desirable to attach a “flat" to a moving train, speed should be slackened and signals given by bowing. The “flat” will respond by throwing away its cigar, twirling its moustache, and elevating its hat. The answering signal is a smile, which signifies “couple on.” After ‘ coup ling,” the combined train will proceed very slowly—very. By order of Fashion, President. A. La Mode, Gen. Sup’t.

Phillip*’ Provision Exchange. Cincinnati, June 19, IS6B. Editor Xational Jtepublican : Dear Sir—The market for provisions during the past week has changed but little, prices re maining about the same us last reported. The demand has been entirely consumptive, specu lators preferring to stand back until matters culminate. Tho crops in tho South, at this time, promise well, and should the worm not interfere with tiio Cotton, large crops will be inado. Tho Southern Wheat crop is safo and large. Corn is promising as well us Cotton, and, with this com bination, we may look for a good Fall trade in provisions, as there is no extra supply South, nor no largo Stock North. The market ctosos quiet, but very firm for most articles. KSS PORK has ruled at about S2B all tho week, and closes steady at this for cash, though 1,000 barrels sold at $25.50, buyers option, July. Extra prime pork, of which there arc about 1,00(1 barrels here, can be had at $24. No rumps at any price. * LARD is in small demand, and not saleable over 17c for choice city kettled, though holders demand J to j more, without realizing their prices. Keg is scarce, and held at tUic. Lower grades aro dono as avoll as greases, and prices not qu rtable. BULK MEATS have been in fair domand, but buyers and sellers differ a little in their views, consequently but little has been dono. I quote the asking prices 12, 14, 15 and 15}c for shoulders, sides, clear rib and clear sidos, with buyers J loss. No hams in market. BACON has been in but moderate demand to fill small orders, but is, generally firmly held at 13 J, 165, and 17c, for Shoulders, Clear Rib, and Clear Sides. There are no Rib Sides out of smoko ; they soli at 15-sc, to come out in two weeks. S. C. Hams, ISJalfiJo ; Plain, 17c; Breakfast Bacon, 17c. PLATE BEEF is held at S2O. Dried Beef dull, 18c.

The Colorado Admission bill came up, but went over. Mr. Morrill, of Maine, wanted some system in admitting territories, notwithstanding Nyo’s assurance that Colorado would vote right. Morrill had no doubt that Colorado would be a Democratic State. The Arkansas Admission bill passed over the President’s veto by a party vote. Adjourned. House: There was nothing important under the regular call. A resolution declaring that the public debt should be reduced to a simple and uniform system, more easily understood by the people, aud that the interest thereon be reduced, and instructing the Ways and Means Com mittee to report a bill agreeably thereto, w;i3 passed. A piotion referring the above to the Ways aud Means Committee failed, by a vote of 07 to G 9. The Committee of Ways and Means were instructed to inquire into the expediency of appropriating silty millions to buy the ma tured and maturing coin debt, and that no new indebtedness be created until the coin in the lreasury is reduced to twenty-five millions. The report of the Committee of Confer ence, removing disabilities, was reconsidered and passed by a vote of 98 to 44. The bill has now passed both Houses by a two-thirds vote, and goes to the President. The Election Committee’s report seating McKee, Republican, from Muysville (Ivy.')

ALMOST EVERY CASE CURED WITH PAIN KILL Eli. £) EAD THE FOLLOWING LETTER FROM L Rev. It. Telford, Missionary iu China, now visiting his home in Pennsylvania : Washington, Pa., June 25,1866. Messrs. Perry Davis & Son , Providence, K. J.. Dear Sirs—During a residence of some ten years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I fouud your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable remedy for that feaiful scourge, the Cholera. Iu administering the medicine, I fouud it most effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then, after abont fifteen minutes, begin to give a table spoonful ot the same mixture every minute until relief was obiained. Apply hot applications to the extremities. Bathe the stomach witli Pain Killer, clear and 111 b the limbs briskly. Os those who bad the cholera, and took the medicine faith fully ill the way Btated above, eight out of ten recovered. Yours, truly, R TELFORD. If an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or Cramp Colic, don’t delay the use of the" Pain Killer. Sold by all medicine dealers Price, 25 cents, 00 cents, and $1 per bottle. Manhattan, Kansas, April 17, ISG6. Gentlemen— * * “ I want to say a little more abont the Pain Killer. I consider it a very valuable medicine, and always keep it on hand. I have travelled a good deal since I have been in Kansas, and never without taking it with me, 111 my practice I used it freely for the Asiatic Cholera, in 1819, and with belter success than anv other medicine : I also used it here for cholera in 1855, with the same good result. Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D. Swato, China. Chole 1a; w* * 1 regret to say that the cholera has prevailed here of late to a fearful extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to fifty or sixty fatal cases each dav has been re ported. I should add that, the Pain Killer, sent recently from the Mission Ilonse, has been used with considerable success during this epidemic. If taken in season is generally effectual in check ing the disease, Rev. CHARLES IIAKDINIG, Sholapore, India. [From the Portland Monthly.] Summer Complaint and Dysentery. Bowel complaints seem just now to be the prevailing element, aud any medicine timt is everywhere acceptable,' and 'that is reliable, is a very desirable acquisition. From what we have seen, heard, and experienced, we believe Davis' Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the best method of using it, we quote from the directions: “For common bowel complaints, give one tea spoonful in a gill of new milk and molasses in equal parts, stirred well together; lessen the dose for children, according to the age. If the pain be severe, bathe the bowels aud back with the medi cine. This mode of treatment is good iu cases of the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Re peat the dose every honr. file quickest way I ever saw the dysentery cured was by taking one spoonful of the Pain Killer in one gill ot milk and molasses stirred well together and drank hot, at the same time bathing the bowels freely with medicine. Let the dose he repeated every hour nntil the patient is relieved.” It every person who lias reason to fear this disease would provide themselves with u bottle of this medicine, and use as occasiou required, we believe a great amount of suffering and sickness would be saved. jel2—2m IMSURAIBSre li] Fire, Marine, Inland AND ACCIDENTAL INSURANCE iEtua Insurance Company, . _ Hartford Phemx Insurance Company, New York.
