'he Huntingdon Journal, T Wednesday Morning, April 23, 1873, READING MATTER ON EVERY YALE. PERSONA!. Brief Mention--Home-Made and Stolen Court was oot crowded last week. The water has been let into the "caaawl, The Bill dividing this borough into tour wards, has become a law. The Coleman Sisters have been engaged by Sherry's New York Theatre. The Pennsylvania Company ere lowering their track on Allegheny street. Orbisonia has a hotel keeper who gives drinks on the quiet. Sly old fox ! We call attention to the advertisement of Jay Cook 8: Co., in another column. The Huntingdon County Medical society held a meeting on Friday of Mat week. Officer Westbrook was obliged to cage Maria Montgomery again on Monday last. The Sheriff pulled out for Allegheny city, with Thomas Long, on Saturday morning last. Our Sbirleysburg friend is informed that it was another "Occasional," altogether. Rest- Fifth street is being raised to the level of the railroad. What an improvement it will make. It has been suggested that the neighbor hood of the new Car Works be christened New Orbisonia. Petersburg elected an improvement Council this Spring. Clean up your ashes, filth and alleys, say the authorities. Altoona ought to have a respectable ticket office. It has the poorest accommodations of this kind on the line of the P. R. It. Bedford has appointed a committee—E. F. Kerr, Chairman—to invite the Constitutional Convention to adjourn to that place. Leister has commenced clearing away the old buildings reparatory to erecting a hand some hotel building opposite the depot. The young roughs who disturbed the Mite Society, at Mt. Union, got off by paying costs. The boys be more careful in the future. Miss Jennie Stewart, daughter of the late Sewell Stewart, Esq., cut her ear very badly, on Saturday last, with a broken pane of glass. The local of the Gazette is extremely sensitive on the Local Option question. Don't take it so hard, friend, we deeply sympathize with Elwood Miller, son of Dr. R. Allison Miller, slipt on the Academy steps, in this place, a week or so ago, and sprained his ankle very sererly. The new Council have all the authority ne cessnry to proceed to the erection of a market house, and we believe they have the energy to do it. The liquor interests of Blair, Centre, Bed ford and Huntingdon counties are to be dis cussed, at Tyrone, on the 10th prin. by those interested. Mrs. Anderson has erected a handsome new fence on Sixth street. Col. Dorris is also putting up a very neat structure . of this kind on Fourth street. The persons who have promised, from time to time, to start an Omnibus have fizzled out. There is not enterprise enough of this kind to start an old cart. Broad Top Stock, on the 17th inst., in the Philadelphia market, brought $8.25 per share ordinary, and $l4 for preferred. A year or two ago it sold for $2.50. Court adjourned on Wednesday evening of last week. In a short time there will he no necessity for more than one week of Court. What a saving to tax-payers I A caboose ear, attached to a train, passed through this place, on Tuesday of last week , on fire. The flemes and smoke were issuing from the windows at a fearful rate. Since the first of January over $4,000 have been taken out of the County Treasury on Poor House orders. It will take $16,000 to support the Poor House for 1873 at this rate. On the scorning of the 17th inst., the ground 11,13 covered with snow at this point. Nine teen years ago, to a day, we sleighed sixteen miles—from Ebensburg to Wilmore and re turn. We saw a landlord, one afternoon last week, breaking stones on the street. He wanted to convey the idea, no doubt, that he bas got down to hard work. None of that, now ! It's all stuff Speer, we suspect, has put a report in cir culation that a new Democratic paper is to be started. Bosh ! That report is intended to scare the Monitor. We hope it won't scare worth a cent. The Times says it was "Chopparts" and not "Clopparts operation" that did the business for Pierce. Well, we surely thought it was the latter, because if it had been the former, the patient ought to have recovered. The attention of Prof. J. P. Wickersham is called to the manner in which the Camille Soldiers Orphan School is conducted. Peo ple on the opposite side of the mountain from Cassville allege that they see some of the chil dren daily. • one of Russell Henry's numerous family of mules was full of capers on Sunday evening last. It was fine fun for the boys and excel lent exercise for the mule, but more than enough to vex the soul of one more patient than ',Russ." A stranger was struck by an engl, ne and had an arm and leg cut off, on Friday or Saturday last, at Newton Hamilton, the result of walk ing on the railway tack. It is said that his companion refused to help to carry him to a place of safety lest he might soil his clothes. The juaiors wore out again the other night. This time it was Hiss Minnie Burchinell who did the honors of the occasion. The affair passed of very pleasantly; no one fell into the canal and there was nothing lost but a bustle and that did not amount to much. A medical gentleman raised a sensation at the dinner table of one of our popular board ing houses, one day last week, by stating that a baby had just been Pound horribly mutilated near the railroad. It was headless and bad both arms broken off. It is needless to say it was a doll. Arrapaho Tribe, No. 68, 1.0 of R. M. of this place, elected the follow chiefs for the ensu ing term: John. Potter, Sachem ; T.I. Chilcote, ten Sag; L. Richter, Jr. Sag; D. E. McMurtrie, C of It; S. Allen, K. of W ; Joh■ McCabe, Prophet ; Representative to the Great Council, L. P. Matson. A group of ladies, from an overlooking win dow, enjoyed the ridiculous scene of seven chubs of boys, ranging front five to nine years of age, drawn np in a circle, each taking his turn at a stump of a cigar. One of the older boys took a whiff or two more than the reg,- .tilations permitted, whereupon one of the youngest raised a smoke that was not in the bills, and the scene closed in a grand scramble for the prize. Exit boys. Mr. Asahet Corbia and Mr. John Silknitter, of Henderson township, were passing into town on Satnrday,by the new iron bridge over Stone Creek; a freight train came up in the rear and frightened their horse, which made several leaps and broke the wagon. Mr. Cor bin jumped ch.t and saved himself, but Silk nitter was thrown out against the stone com posing the West abutment of the bridge, and his skull badly fractured. Ile was carried to the residence of A. W. Kenyon, Esq., where be died during the day. He was buried at four o'clock on Sunday. He leaves no family. Saturday last was a wretchedly dreary day. Blue Monday was no comparison to it. The sun failed to come to time uutil late in the afternoon, and for a fen• moments how cheer ful it made us feel, and it was then, just at this joyous moment that the proprietor of the Eureka Ice Cream garden sauntered into our office, with a great pitcher of Ice Cream, cake, plates, and spoons. The "Blues" were forgot- ten and the devils went to work with a relish. It was splendid! He went home empty "you bet." But if yon call at the garden where you ought to call, you will find out how the boys felt when it was all" over. PERSONALS, Corntuan has a new silk tile. Judge Dean is growing corpulent. In luck again—Maj. Wharton. It's s boy. George Jackson. Esq., has been on the sick Dr. Dunwiddie smiled upon ua the other day. John R. Hunter, Esq., is afflicted with rheu- matism.

Orbison, Henry, Johnston and Isenberg, compose the new Car Factory Com pany. They will make things move. Lindsay envies Cornmau's good luck in be ing able, by "hook, or crook or otherwise" to exhibit a new plug hat. Don't be covetous, friend. The editor of the Time: dropped in last week. Ile is such a good natured soul that it always does us good to see his smiling countenance. He never attem,ts at wit ! The Rev. Mr. Boater, of Philadelphia has accepted a call of the Baptist congregation of this place. The membership gave tbo family a handsome reception open its arrival. COURT PROCEEDINGS.—A variation in ! the usual routine of preliminary business last Monday, was the calling into the jury box of the constables of this county, elected for the ensuing year, prior to their qualification by the clerk, to listen to some instructions and advice from the Court. The Court, in a few concise remarks, gave the constables a clear outline of their respon sibilities, under the existing liquor law of the State, which require each constable to make return, nutter oath oraffirmation, to the Court of Quarter Sessions,whether within his knowl edge there is any place within his bailiwick kept or maintained in violation of the license law. It is not necessary, the learned Judge ob served, that an officer should personally see any one sell liquor as a beverage, in order to return him, although a great many constables have supposed, probably honestly, though mistakenly, that they must see with their own eyes a violation of the liquor law. If any constable has such knowledge WI convinces him, as a reasonable man, that liquor is sold at any place in violation of the laws, it is his duty to return the fact to the Court. This return is required by law to be faith fully made, and the Court intimated in unmis taken terms that the constables of this county will be held to a strict accountability for this duty. The law provides that "If any person shall make known in writing, with his or her name subscribed thereto, to sneh constable, the name or names of any one who shall have vio lated this act, with the names of witnesses, who can prove the fact, it shall be his duty to make return therof on oath or affirmation to the Court ; and upon his willful failure to do so he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon indictment and conviction shall pay a fine of $5O, and be subject to imprison ment, &c." The Court further remarked that all that is required of the constables in this respect is the conscientious discharge of their duty, under their oaths, during the coming year, and that care would be taken that in no case shall a constable be subject to the penalty orpayment of costs on the failure to convict persons re turned for violating the liquor law, for want of sufficient evidence, where he honestly en deavered to discharge this duty, the perform ance of which will be strictly required of him. In the Court of Quarter Sessions, Thomas Long, who was indicted by three bills for lar ceny of goods from the cars, pleaded guilty as to the first indictment, the commonwealth in view of the fact that imprisonment must fol low, having entered a not 1 c prosegui as to Nos. two and three. The prisoner was sentenced to pay a One of $5.00 and costs and undergo imprisonment in the Western Penitentiary for two years and four months. Henry Quinn, who had tried to get rid of a surplus of liquor, which he had obtained be fore his license run out, pleaded guilty to the charge of selling it without license and was sentenced to pay a fine of $75, and costs. Henry Lindsay, an old cripple, residing in East Huntingdon, was indicted for receiving stolen goods. A quantity of goods were found at his house, which wore proved to have been left there by the young rascals who abstracted them from the cars ; but the defendant claimed that the thieves forced the goods upon him, that he delivered the goods up before he was suspected, and brought a number of highly respectable citizens to establish his previous good character. He was acquitted. Mary Cassiday charged with obtaining goods by false pretenses, from the store of Reichert rt, Co., on Broad Top, was acquitted and the prosecutor David S. Conrad sentenced to pay the costs. John Wensky, indicted for the larceny of money from the pocket-book of a bed fellow, named James Rutherford, was acquitted. A petition of the citizens of the village of Warriorsmark, for the incorporation of a bo• rough, was approved by the grand jury. TOWNSHIP CLERKS AND SCHOOL DI RECTORS.—We have already called attention to the law which requires township clerks to make and publish full and complete state ments of the financial condition of their town ships within sixty days after the annual spring election. A neglect or failure to comply with this act subjects the officer to a penalty of fifty dollars. In several counties of the state snits have been brought by tax-payers for disregarding this law, and in each case the penalty was imposed and collected. Township clerks may save expense and litigation by observing this information. The law requires similar publicity in the matter of school accounts. An act passed two years ago makes it obligatory upon di rectors to publish annually a statement of the receipts and expenditures of their respective school districts. If this law be not complied with, tax-payers may refuse to settle their school tax. School boards throughout the country should bear in mind, and avoid the perplexity that may otherwise arise.—Ex change. Lowest Prices, Largest Stock and best variety of Styles at 'blows's Carpe Store. THE NEW POSTAL ACT—THE ABOLISH. ED "FREE MATTER" LlST.—it is important for the public to know what is included in the law known ac "the repeal of the franking privi lege." All mail known as ' , free matter" under the existing laws, on wkieh postage must be paid after June 30, by reason of this repeal, is class ed under twelve heads, as follows, viz : 1. All matter from the President and Vice- President. 2. Official communications to and from Cab inet and Bureau officers, chief clerk or frank ing officers of each of the Executive Depart ments. 3. All letters or printed matter to or from Members of Congress, Secretary of the Sen ate or Clerk of the House of Representatives. 4. Petitions to Congress. 5. Copyright matter to Librarian of Con gress, if so marked on the package. 6. Smithsonian Institute mail. 7. Exchanges between publishers, one copy of each publication not to exceed sixteen ounces in weight. 8. Weekly newspapers to actual subscribers ithin the county where published. 9. Notices from Postmasters of refusals to Ile publications. 10. Dead letters returned to writers. 11. Medals, certificates of thanks, or other testimonial awarded by Legislatures to their soldiers. 12. Under a special act of Congress, passed some years since, all mail matter to and from Mary Lincoln, during her natural life. Those persons having the franking privilege at present are the President, Vice President, Senators, Representatives, Delegates, Secreta ry of Senate, Clerk of House, Cabinet and Bu reau officers, all their Clerks, Postmasters, for official communications only, as also Collec tors of Internal Revenue, and Mrs. Lincoln. Under the present law free matter is carried at a' cost of about $1,250,000, while the es timate made for amounts required to pay ac tual necessary official postage for the ensuing fiscal year is about $2,500,000. The changes in the law will be especially onerous on the library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institute,whose advantages in this respect have never been abused, and were on ly used in the interest and diffusion of knowl edge. Another change which will be great inconvenience, is that relative to returning "dead letters" to their writers when known. The English Post Office follows the rules we have, and collects when the returned letter is delivered. The only matter can be sent under the amended law after the 30th of June next, without prepayment, is newspapers sent ragn larly. Postage is to he collected quarterly on them when delivered. Presbnt regulations re main in effect. A HANDSOME COMPLIMENT.—The Beaver County Press, published at New Brigh ton, Beaver county, pays the following hand some compliment to R. W. Berkstresser, Esq., formerly of Bedford, Pennsylvania, General Agent for Continental Life Insurance Company, of Hartford, Connecticut, located at Pitts burg: "The Continental bits now a deserved ly high reputation in this vicinity, and has done during the past three or four years a very large business in our midst—perhaps the largest business of any life company represent ed here. This is largely, if not almost entire ly due to the energy, address and ability o f the company's general agent at Pittsburg, It. W. Berkstresser, Esq., of the firm of Sam son & Berkstresser, No. 64, Fourth Avenue. Mr. Berkstresser has given his personal super vision to the company's interests in this local ity, and his mode of doing business has had the effect of securing to the Continental some of the best risks ever taken by the company, as well as the large amount which is annually added to its assets from the policy-holders of this part of the State. The company has been very fortunate in securing the services of a gentleman of such marked qualifications for the position he fills, and we trust that the pleasant relations which exist between him and his numerous friends in this neighbor hood, may remain long undisturbed. We make this last remark through sheer selfishness, for Mr. B. is abundantly qualified for a higher sphere of usefulness among the company's officers, and we hope some day to see his claims to a lucrative position recog nized."

AND KISIIAOO - VALLEY.—Some one, under date April the 12th, writes to the editor of Harrisburg Telegraph thus : "In your issueof the 9th inst, I see the Penn - sylvania Central has under consideration to lay two more tracks the whole length of their road. Now, I would suggest that the com pany would find it a great saving of time and money by changing the rout a little in Mifflin county by leaving the main railrpnd at Lewis town and running out on the Mifflin and Cen tre to Reedsville; and then along the foot of Jack's mountain, through Kisboquillas valley into Huntingdon county. At Mill Creek they would strike the main road agate, not over twenty-live miles, having no bridging only across a few small streams. Along the main road there are five river bridges, a deep cut at Newton Hamilton and the Narrows. Prom Mount Union to Mapleton has already cost more for the two first road beds than it would cost to grade a road through the valley from Lewistown to Mill Creek. Although it is away from their road the citizens of this val ley would be pleased if the company could be induced to look at this route before laying the next two tracks."

A glance at the Index of this vol ume—six monthly numbers—shows that it contains four hundredengracings, and a limit- less variety of reading-matter. In the leading article of the May Number, Mr. Lyman Abbott gives a very entertaining description of the various forms of “Life un der the Ocean Wave," both vegetable and an imal, with thirty accurate and beautiful en- gravings. Mr. Wirt Sikes contributes a sketch of An toine Wiertz, the eccentric artist of Brussels. In an exhaustive paper on Vienna, Mr. Mon cure D. Conway, gives the notable features of the coming Exposition, and of Viennese amusements, art-galleries, musical entertain ments, shops, markets, and superstitions. A picturesque description of a summer cruise, in the yacht Rambler, among the Azores and Canary Islands, will prove very attractive to many readers. There are also timely and valuable contri butions from E. E. House, on "The Present and Future of Japan,'' and from Eugene Law rence, on "Geneva a:sd its Bishop." The unanimous Report of the Congressional Library Committee on the project for an In ternational Copyright Law is reprinted in this number, thus preserving, in a convenientform for reference, the most comprehensive and conclusive review of this subject that has ever been presented. Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spofford contributes a short story, "The Beautiful Miss Vavasour," a tale of Washington ,Society; and D. R. Cas tleton gives us another of her characteristic stories, entitled "Lost." The serial stories by Charles iteade, Wilkie Colins, and Miss Thack- eray are continued. The poetry of the Number is by John G• Saxe, Ellis Gray, Kate Hil.ard, and Miss 11. R. Hudson, the latter contributing a poem of great pathos, "The Newsboy's Debt," beauti• fully illustrated. An interesting paper by Dr. Samuel Osgood, on the ".Esthetics of Social Life," constitutes the Editor's Easy Chair for May, Mr. Curtis being unable, on account of illness, to supply that department. The Editor's Scientific Rr.c ord furnishes an admirable resume of the progress of science since the beginning of the year, occupying four pages. and also gives a variety of important matter in short articles. The Editor's Historical Record is this month confined to the summary of political events, including an exhaustive analysis of the Re port of the New York Constitutional Commis sion. The Editor's Drawer is unusually inter esting, including another installment of "Onr London Scrap-book," treating of the Artists' Quarter, with four illustrations. The May number of Lippincott's Magazine is particularly- attractive, whether we regard the interest and variety of its articles or the number and beauty of its illustrations. The third part of "The Roumi in Kabylia" forms the initial article. This charming record of travel is embellished with many spirited and opposite engravings, and has the merit of be ing devoted to a country whose features and resources are little known to the public. "Oar Home in the Tyrol," by Margaret Hewitt, is a delightful narrative of a summers residence at Barneck, in the Pusterthal. It is full of cap tivating realism, diversified by quaint and at tractive incident, and is appropriately illus trated. Tho concluding portion of "Wilming ton and its Industries" is full of interesting reminiscences of an historical and social char acter, and furnishes some further information of special value to the manufacturer and capi talist. It is embellished with a full propor tion of engravings. "Salmon Fishing in Can ada," by S. C. Clarke, describes, in . a graphic manner, one of the noblest and most exciting of modern sports, as it is practiced in a sec tion peculiarly favorable to its full enjoyment. An article entitled "Philadelphia Zoological Gardens" dwells upon the advantages, in re spect to both pleasure and profit, which Philadelphians are likely to derive from the establishment for the exhibition of living ani mals, birds and fishes, about to be opened in Fairmonnt Park. A very interesting history of the foundation and operations of the Lon don Zoological Gardens is incidentally tarnish ed. The article is accompanied by a well-ex ended diagram. "Queen Victoria as Million are," by Reginald Wynford, discoursed in an interesting manner concerning the private for tune of her Britannic Majesty, and discloses many facts that will be entirely new to a large number of readers. "Cricket in America," by Albert A. Outerbridge, will be welcomed as a timely paper by the many admirers of a game which, after having become nationalized in England, and there won the enthusiastic sym pathies of all classes of the people, promises to elicit from the active youth and manhood of this country fresh admiration and fresh de votion. Fiction is represented iu the present number of Lippincott's Magazine by the contin uation of Mr. Black's attractive novel entitled A princess of Thule" ; by a very pleasing, story of French life, "Marie Famette and her Lovers," from the pen of Katherine S. Mac geoid, author of "Patty" ; and by some further chapters of Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis's serial story, "Berrytown." There are two poems, "At Odds," by Iloward Glyndou, and "Overdue," by Mary B. Dodge. Concerning "Our Monthly Gossip," it is sufficient to say that it sustains its well earned reputation for piquancy and variety We make the following extracts from Be hind the Scenes in Washington, being a com plete and graphic account of the Credit Mo bilier Investigation, The Congressional Rings, Political Intrigues, Working of the Lobbies, etc., giving the secret history of our National Government, in all its various branches, and showing how the public money is squandered, how votes are obtained, etc., - with sketches of t he leading Senators, Congressmen, Govern ment Officials, etc., and an accurate descrip tion of the Splendid Public Building of the Federal Capitol, by Edward Winslow Martin, author of the "Secrets of the Great City," etc: "Upon reaching Washington ' the lobbyists are not slow in getting to work. Much is left to their own discretion ; but much more is done in obedience to 'instructions from head quarters.' The aid desired may be from the Government, or from Congress, or from both ; and all sorts of artifices are resorted to to se cure it. Officials are approached in every im aginable way, and, if no direct bribe is offer ed, the intriguer endeavors, generally with success, to gain the confidence and friendship of the party against whom his arts are direc ted. This accomplished, he broaches his scheme so delicately, and presses it so skil folly, that the official is won over before he knows it. If the man fails, the female lob byist is called in to exert her arts, which are more potent than those of the sterner sex. Congressmen and officials are famous as being the most susceptible men in the world, and the fair charmer is generally successful. Men in public life are very obliging when they choose to be, and these women know how to win favors from them. "It is very common for the lobbyists to ap proach public men through their families. Mrs. A. or Mrs. B. will receive magnificent presents front persons who are but little more than casual acquaintances. Their first im pulse is to return the articles, but they are so handsome, and just what they have been want ing so long, without beinfi able to afford them out of their husbands' ineomes—for lobbyists arc careful to inform themselves what will be most acceptable—and so, after a little strug gle, they decide to keep the gifts." Ile Phrenological Journal for May is an ex eellent number; containing many particularly interesting features, via: The Portraits and Life Sketches of twelve' Editors of leading Religious Newspapers--such as The Observer, Christian Union, Evangelist, Christian Intelti gencer, Liberal Christian, Church and Stale, Baptist Union, Christian Advocate, X. .T. Nes senger, Jewish Chronicle, etc.; Pittman Knowl edge Past and Present; Mouths we Meat and their Meaning; —illustrated; Does sorrow Kill?—a pathetic story; James Blake, of In • dianapolis, Portrait and Character; Justice Ward llunt ; Building with Rough Stone ; Does the Human Race Degenerate in America? The Gulf Stream; Curiosities of Suicide, etc. The number merits general approbation; let everybody rem: l'rice. cents; three ',months on Trial, 5O cents; a year'', sunscrip. S. R. Wells, Publisher. Sew Veit, VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. Letter from Orbisonia. ORBISONIA, April 19, 1871 EDITOR JOURNAL may be interesting to some of the readers of the JOURNAL to know that the Cromwell family i 3 still being re surrected in. this locality. It is only recently I came back to this county. Mr. Editor, the county has changed very much since I left.— Now you have four papers published in the county; when I left the only paper published iu the county was the Huntingdon Gazette, published by John McCahan. John was uo preacher, but still he published a very good paper. This town, Orbisonia, was not thought of when I left, much less a railroad from Mt. Union (or Drake's Ferry, as it was called then) to Broad Top. . _ This certainly is a fast age. The people of this place are under the impression that it is going to snake a large town. I can't see the point, unless the citizens here can persuade the Reverend Editor to publish his paper (the Globe) at this place. This would at once give the place notoriety, and not only that, but I think it would improve the morals of our young men. Some of them swear a little, and some cf them are pretty good on a fight, and you know, Mr. Editor, the Globe would sure them of all such habits. I see, too, that some of them read the political papers on the `Jab bath day. Now, as a general thing, this should not be done, but you know, Mr. Editer, it will not injure any one to read the Globe on the Sabbath day. It so happens, sometimes, Mr. Editor, that one man is called to preach the Gospel and another answers, but we cannot charge the editor of the Globe with this; any one can see at once that he Ras called to the work. We admire the christian spirit he has manifested since the first issue of his excellent paper(?) If he is smitten on one chpek how readily and willingly he turns the other ; and if a man should take bis coat I have no doubt bat he would give him his cloak also, and perhaps his boots into the bargain. It is no trouble or cross f r him to render good for evil, or to love and pray for his enemies. Oh I I am so glad that we have such agood editor and such a good paper published in our county I There is quite an advantage in having a minister of the Gospel publish a paper in our county. For this reason: many cf our citizens are not able to take a religious ant: secular paper too, so you see, Mr. Editor, the Globe will answer a double purpo"se. Such families can read its advertisements during the week, and the read ing matter on the Sabbath day, and how could the Sabbath day be spent more profitably ? I am so glad we have such a paper published in our county, just no account of our young men. "May useful lives-be spared for useful purposes." The man here who bad some of hisribs bro ken from rolling a whisky barrel, is getting better. The man Pierce, who was the cause of so much excitement in the papers, some time ago. as to where he got the tangle foot, suc cessful amputation, ete., etc., is now dead. I know our town is blamed with part of this ; maybe it is guilty, but as I am a newcomer I don't feel like expressing myself. Mr. Editor, as my baud's a little unsteady I will try and get one of the boys to write to you the next time. Truly Yours, OLIVER CROMMMIL'S GRANDFATHER. From Alexandria. ALEXANDRIA, April 17. 187 a Ma. EDITOR :—The High School of this place opened a Summer term a. few weeks ago. There was such a rush, that a great many were refused. When I use the term "high school" I mean high up in the building, with out regard to grade. The school is made up from four years to twenty-two.
