PITTSBURGH FEMALE COLLEGH—An
experience of sixteen years has given the of
ficers of that institution the practical know'.
edge so essential to full success, and of so
much value to the pupils, and placed the Col.
lege iu the very front rank of American edu
cational institutions. The buildings, recently
enlarged, and refitted in handsome style, are
among the finest for the purpose in the coll.;
try. The location is quiet and retired, and
yet within a few minutes' walk of the termini
of all the railroads, the principal churches,
the new City Hall and the buildings of the
:llereantile Library Association, the Alleghe
ny Park.,, and other places of interest. The
Faculty—one of the largest to be found in any
school in the United States—numbers upwards
of twenty teachers, selected with special ref
erence to their experience and qualifications
for their work. The methods of teaching are
thorough, and intended to develop the mental
and moral powers of the pupil. The total
charges for boarding, light, furnished and
carpeted room, fuel, church sitting, ten pieces
washing each 'week, tuition in the full English
course and Latin, are less than three hundred
dollars a year. Better than all else is
. the
moral tones pervading the school.

TALL Cons.—We clip the following
notice of tall corn from a recent number of the

BIG CORN.-Mr. Jas. McElroy, of Barree
Forge, Pennsylvania, having seen a notice in
the Jornsat. of some tall corn raised iti Ben
ton county, writes to his son H. H. McElroy,
this note "Tell the editor of the PEOPLE'S
JOUGNAL that he need not brag on his lowa
corn, for I have corn that is 12 feet and 3
inches high. If he doesn't believe it, tell him
to come down some evening and measure it,
and I will keep him over night and give him At
fresh start in the morning."
"DUTCU JAKE."—In our isaue of last
week, in a local item entitled, "Almost a Sui
cide, or what 'Dutch Jake' did," we gave a lu
dicious discription of an affair in West Hun
tingdon. Since then a friend of ours, as well
as of the party in question, informs us that
we did Jake great injustice, and that Jake is
a good, honest, sober and industrious citizen.
We are heartily glad to hear this and take all
back, we said, a thousand times. We never
desire to do any one injustice, and when we
are apprised that we have done so; we stand
ready to make the anzende honorable, square.
Gaweiss, Jake.

WILL THEY no IT ?—The advent of the first
train of cars into Bedford, should be a matter
of sufficient moment to the people of that good,
borough to warrant the most extravagant re
joicing. It is expected that the trial trip will
be made on the 15th inst. We would suggest
to our Bedford friends that they get up a cel
ebration for on or about the first of Septem
ber. And let there be a good time—a proces
sion, the burial of the body of an old coach,
speeches, etc. Bloody Run will furnish the

invite their neighbors?

SABBATH SCHOOL CELEBRATION AT

state of expectancy; and when the wished for

in their beat clothes, - looking, their bfightest,
and best, and waiting, long before the bell
sounded fur the assembling.
At 91 a. m.. everything being in readiness,

duced.
In an address full of instruction, encourag
:ma
ment, he spoke to parents, teachers and pupils
of the nobility and importance of the Sabbath
School work; of the obligations resting 'upon
all, both old and young to engage in it ; of the
necessity-and wisdom of installing into the
youthful mind and hearty principles of virtue
and rectitude, rather than commence by pro
viding for the punishment of adults for'erimes
committed;—and of many other points full of
interest and instruction, but of which, space
forbids the mention, _ _
In a short address Rev. McCombs followed,
and after a brief interval, we were again call
ed together,—this time, not to an intellectual
or literary, feast, but to a feast intended to re
fresh and invigorate the physical being.
After doing full justice to the good things
which tempt the appetite, the young people
indulged in a variety of out-door sports, after
which the company dispersed as they have
done time out of memory, each well pleased
with the day's entertainment, but bodily
"very tired." P.
CROQUET Edit Or :-3ly
friend, did you ever attend a Pic-nic—a Cro
quet Pic nit,? No 1 Ali well, t'ou'r unfortunate 1
My advice is to get one up - without delay.
You can't play Croquet? Dear, dear, that is
bad; Well then, learn at once and that you
may have no difficulty in the managemen4 of
your Pic-nid, afterwards, I'll tell you about
ours, only prefacing the relation with the
statement that 1 fear you'll be unable to find
any place else so pleasant as Shade. Gap, 'or
other folks so agreeable and hospitable as
those we visited.
Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, a
party of ladies and gentlemen, consisting of
members of the "Excelsior". and "Amateur"
Croquet Clubs of out town, left in carriages,
fir Shade Gap, where, after a ',leasing ride of
eight miles, we arrived at log o'clock, and
alighted at the house of the Misses Neely.
After resting awhile we repaired to the
grounds of the Presbyterian Church. There
we were joined by a select number of the eith
zens of the town and vicinity, and here a rich
collation, prepared for the occasion, was dis
patched.
After the edibles were disposed of, the
grounds were measured and prepared for the
Croquet playing, which amusement was in
dulged in for two or - three hours. The play
ing was good and very eutertaing and the ex
ercise prepared us to relish and enjoy the
superb repast of which we partook in the
dining haft of the Milnwood Academy, and
which was preAded over by the accomplished
lady of the Rev. Kuhn, Pastor of the Presby
terian church there.
Supper over, the company adjourned to the
parlors, where conversation and music engag
ed them for a time, brief; but delightful.
Without detracting from the merits of other
performers, I think I should be guilty of in
justice to Miss Ella Minnick, and fail to es•
press the grateful sense of the company, were
I to neglect special reference to her musical
ities, which, beyond doubt render her pe
culiarly fitted for the place she fills as Musical
thstractor of the Academy.
In the evening the party took a promenade
through town and then dispersed. Those
from Burnt Cabins reached home between
eight and nine o'clock, feeling that the day
was indellibly recorded on the tablets of their
memories, as one of the most delightful in all
their experience of happy times.
CROQUET.
Burnt Cabins, Pa., July 27th, 1871.
LITERARY NOTICES.—Among the many
candidates for praise, in the literary and a,
tistic world, is Tits PRESS, an illustrated jour
nal, published by Borton & Leonard, Chicago,
which is not second to the Aldine and in some
respects it is superior. We like Its "Dante's
Francesca" better while the typography is
far superior. It is the west sending greet
ing to the east and she has done nobly. It is
published at 50 cents per year. All letters
should be addressed to The Press, 108 and 110
Randolph street, Chicago.
Ton PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOL JOURNAL, for
August, looks well and contains a number of
valuable articles. Under its new manage
ment it has been very much improved. Teach.
ers cannot get along without it, Address J.
P, Wickersham & Co„ Lancaster, Pa: Price
$l.OO.
CHEAP MINN.—It is seldom: that cheapness
is associated with merit and real value, bat we ,
must make an exception of PETERS' MUSICAL.
MONTHLY. This valuable work comes to us
regularly each month, overflowing with choice
new Music—some fifteen pieces in ever num
ber. It is priuted front 36 full-size music
plates, neatly bound, and sells for the modest
sum of 30 cents. Volume VIII, began - with
the July number; and the publisher offers to
send two copies—July and August—for 50
cents. Address J. L. PETERS 599 Broadway,
New York. 'Think of itl 30 pieces of good
Music for 50 cent,.
THE SONG MESSENGER.-WC have received
this journal, devoted to Mus'.cal Literature ,
Songs, Glees, quartets, &c., for August, and it
impresses us very favorably. It is publ:shed
by Root .Sc. Cady, Chicago, 111. at $l.OO per
annum.
NEW PIIIILICATION.—Dr. • liitchcock's
new and complete Analysis of the Holy Bible.
Published by A. J. Johnson. This interesting
volume makes the Bible its own interpreter,
giving the scripture that treats directly on
each subject arranged under an appropriate
title, being thoroughly indexed, you can as
readily find all the Bible says upon each sub
ject as you could find a single text in our com
mon Bible. -
As an index to whatever the Bible contains
or teaches on any subject, it is invaluable.
Each chapter or section being a distinct and
separate subject. It cannot fail of creating an
interest in Bible reading in every family that
is fortunate enough to obtain a copy. To the
minister it will often throw more light upon
his chosen topic than a whole days' search
could secure. It has also Cruden's complete
concordance pronouncing and interpreting
dictionaries, a dictionary of Religious denomi
nations, a history of the Bible, family record,
maps, engraving, etc., making it a treasure of
inestimable value, We append the folloWing
testimonial,
Rev. M. W. Jacobus, D. D., Professors of
Biblical Literature and Theology, Allegheny
City, Pa., says Talbot's Analysis was good,
. West made it better and Dr. Hitchcock, in this
fine volume has made it best. Nothing in this
way is left to be desired. It will be a treasure
to any household.
From Rev. Geo. F. Wisnell, D. D., Pastor of
Green hill Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia,
Pa.: •'Any book that facilitates and incites to
the study and critical knowledge of the Holy
Scriptures is a positive good in the world.—
Hitchcock's Analysis is such a book. I shall
count it a good work if in any way I can pro
mote the circulation of such a valuable book
among the families of our land."
Rev. Geo. D. Boarman, D. D., Pastor of
First Baptist Church, Philadelphia, says in his
concluding remarks "I counsel every one,
who wishes to use the Bible most advantage
ously, to purchase this volume."
Rev. C. F. Shafer, Evangelical Lutheran,
Philadelphia, says "The interest of our holy
religion will be greatly premoted by an exten
sive circulation of this precious book."
Having examined, with some care, Prof.
Hitchcock's Analysis of the Bible, I have no
hesitation in recommending it as a valuable
aid to the study of the Sacred Scriptures.—
Those who purchase and peruse it will, I think,
never regret the money and time thus expend,
ed. G. W. ZAHNISER,
Pastor Presbyterian Church,
llontingdon, Pa.
July 3r; 1811.
The above recommendation of llitchcock's
Analysis of the Bible I heartily 'endorse, and
am free to say that the exrnse incurred by
the purchase u - ill never be regretted.
L. D. STECKLE,
Pastor of Reformed Lutheran Church,
Huntingdon, Pa.
To nil who wish, with the least — labor and
with the greatest possible dispatch, to know
all the scriptures say on any subject treated
by them, I recommend Hitchcock's Analysis
of the Bible as pre-eminently the book they
need.
B. B. HAMLIN,
•
Prdsiding, Elder M. E. Church, Jugiata Dis
trict, Central Penna. Conference.
I have examined llitchcocks' Analysis of the
Bible and can heartily recommend it as an in-
valuablework and an efficient aid in the sys.
tcmatic study of the Scripture.
M. K. FOSTER,
PaStor of M. E. Church, Huntingdon, Pa.
I fully concur in the above recommendation,
J. W. PLANNETT,
Pastor Baptist Church, Huntingdon, Pa.
Having examined the work entitlea Hitch
cock's Analysis of the Bible, presented by E.
V. Smith, I am free to pronounce it a rare
christian gem, and do most heartily recom
mend it to all who would learn more perfectly

The "Burlington Route," so called, lies right
in the path of the Star of Empire. It runs
almost immediately in the center of the great
westward movement of emigration. Crossing
Illinois and lowa, it strikes the Missouri river
at three points,
These three points are the gateways into
three great sections of the trans-Missouri re
gion.
. .
The Northern gate is Omaha, where the
great Pacific road will take you to the laud of
gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and per
petual summer•.
The middle gate is Plattsmouth, Which
opens upon the south half of Nebraska, south
of the Platte river, a region unsurpassed on
the continent for agriculture and grazing.
Just here are the B. h 31. Railroad lands, con
cerning Geo. S. Barris, the laud officer at
Burlington, lowa, can give you all informs
tion, and in the heart of them is Lincoln, the
State Capital and present terminus of the
road.
The Southern gate leads to Kansas, by con
nections with the St. Joe Road at Hamburg,
running direct to St. Joe and Kansas City.
The trains of the Burlington run smoothly
and safely, and tuak: all connections. It run
the best of coaches, Pullman Palace and
Pullman dining cars, and should you take the
journey for the journey's sake alone, you will
be repaid; or take it to find alio= or a farm
and you cannot find either better than among
the B. .k M. lands, where you can buy on ten
years' credit, and at a low price. tf.

1011 RIVATE RESIDENCE FOR SALE.
liming gone into business at this' place I
propose to sell my private residence at Dydford,
Pennsylvania, at private sale.
It is unnecessary for me to give a description of
it to those vim are acquainted with it, and to those
who have not seen it, and who desire to purchase
a neat and emiqilete residence .I would say go and
examine it. The house was entirely overhauled
and renovated but a year or two ago. It is located
upon a full lot of ground, 00 feet by 2-10, on East
Pitt street, and the corner of an alloy leading to
the Steain Mill, which wakes it one of the most
public places in the town in a business point of
view. The lot is under drained by numerous
drains, and is second to none in the place. It has
produced all the garden vegetables used by my
family for years. In addition there is a flower
garden and a considerable quantity of excellent
fruit. There is a perpetual insurance upon the
house.
Address me at Huntingdon or Bedford, Pa.
