Prof. Judson P. Welsh, whose manlage is noticed in another column, has chosen for his briilo one of the most gifted and accomplished ladies in Bucks Co., Miss Alma Sager, who is greatly admired and esteemed in her section of the state. The marriage took place in Hartsville, on tho 10th Inst, in the presence of a large compa ny of friends and acquaintances. It was in every feature an elegant affnir. The brl dal presents were numerous and both beau tiful and costly. The best wishes of many go with the newly wedded couple. Trade dollars continue to circulate here at 85 cents, though everyone who can do so, Is holding them back. In Philadel phia most of the leading merchants arc taking them at par for goods. Wo notice by our exchanges that the business men of many other places arc doing thu same thing. It is likely that they will again pass for a full dollar, but the tight ngalnst them all over the country will show Con gress the necessity of taking some action ht its next session to retire them, or pass a law making them legal tender. They are worth more than the Eland dollar intrin sically, and thero is no reason why they should not be made lawful money. W. H. Poust, agent at tho 1). L. & W. depot here, was unceremoniously discharged on Tuesday morning. Tho only cause ho can assign is that he refused to stand tho discount on twenty-nine trade dollars that he took in before receiving orders not to take them. They wero returned to him by the company, and he expressed them back, at the same time writing a letter fully ex plaining the circumstances, llo heard nothing more of thu matter until Tuesday morning when he was notified to quit, Mr. Poust has been an obliging and ellleeut ngent, and thu business men of the town will bu sorry to have him leave. Ho lias been In the service of the I). I.. ii W, Co. n number of years, and their action in dis. charging him for so trivial a matter is se verely criticised by the public. Superintendent McCalister of Phlladel phia made an address at thu opening of thu Teacher's Convention at Willlamsport on Tuesday evening in which lie uttered some solid truths which should be heeded by all educators as well as parents. He strongly inveighed against the cramming processes practiced In our primary schools, declaring that we teacli too much, and teach It too poorly. In his view, simplification is tho great need of tho public schools. He be lieved that tho time had come for teachers, in view of tho responsibility resting upon them, to demand of the managers of our public schools that a change bo madu In existing conditions. Thu Gazette it Jlullelin says i Thu Ideas advanced by Mr. MacCallstcr wero eminently sensible, and they wero presented in a very clear and Impressive manner. If their adoption shall follow as n result of tho present meeting of thu assocl atlon, It will alone lie a sufficient iichlov- nient to satisfy all true friends of educa tlon. That hu struck tho right key was attested by tho promptness and warmth with which ho was endorsed by the other able educators In attendance. A llefructory Hector. an episcopal ulkiioymax announuks a IIKCjUIKM MASS. Tho Enlscoiml church controversy which has grown out of tho High church tendencies of Arthur Ritchie, pastor of tho Church of Ascension, Chicago, and which has already served to draw out a letter of protest from tho bishop of that dloceac, had another sensational feature added to it Sunday. Hector Richie, at thu morning service, announced that at thu conclusion of the service a requiem mass would bo said for tho soul of Daniel Fountain, who was drowned in Lake Michigan in tho hit tcr Dart of -May. Tho announcement of n requiem muss was apparently such n pro nounced step towards llomiintsm as to cause even tho parlshoners of tho Church of tho Ascension to rebel who had hitherto stood hv thu pastor, and one-half of tho congregation left church. In tho mean time, ut tho request of tho widow of Daniel Fountain, tho celebration of thu mass has been postponed for a fow days. It Is be lieved now that thu bishop will bu com pulled to order thu trial of tho pastor for the Infringement oi mo witircii rules.

Thursday evening, .Miss Addle Whtltaker, of Elkland, Pa., and Miss Hillings, daughter of David HII. lings, of Ehnirn, wero riding on tho train which was going from Wellsboro, Pa., to Uenevn. When near Stokesdale, a furious storm swept down the Cownnesipie valley. Miss Whlllaker, becoming somewhat alarmed nt the flnlence of tho elements, closed her own window, and requested n man who sat In tho next scat to close, his also.

Editors : Since I last wrote to you I have witness ed a great mauy changes iu tills country. Until thu last fow days it lias been very wet and cold caused by the manv hull storms that have been in this and adjoining counties. On last Sabbath morning we had at this place one of the heaviest rain storms I ever witnessed in this or any other conn try. The shower came up from the north west, it began to thunder and lighten about 24)0 A. M., at 3 o'clock it poured down in torrents, and peal after peal came until it shook the earth. I was at Mr. J. C. Cole man's. Wu thought tho house would blow over sure. It continued raining until 7-30 at which timo I looked out of Coleman's stairs window south and as far as eye could see tho earth was completely sub merged with water. The oldest inhabitants told me they never saw such a rain storm since they lived hero. I was rcallv sur- prised on Monday morning as I was going to the town of Ulysses, a distance of six miles, all along the road to see the farmers plowing corn, tho ground completely dry with the exception of some low places where the water was yet standing. The ground in tills country is very porous and takes In the water very soon. Worklnc in this ground does not injure it. The chunks of earth will in a few days appear to slack and run together llko ashes. Tho wheat, barley and oats aro now about out in head. Such crops I never saw before, the corn looks Hue, and more than an nvorago crop is now anticipated. I was just ruad ing an abstract of assessment in Hutler county tor 1833, It contains among other things tho following : In the county theru aru 0,020 horses, 15,509 hogs, 15,478 cattle, 3,008 sheep, improved lands 134,728 acres, unimproved lands 205,001 acres, total number of acres 339, 789, number of acres in wheat 21,708, com 50,417, oats 8.324, barley 1,073, (lax 2,82(1, rye 1,245, meadow 521, number of fruit trees 22,891, acres of forest trees 1,873.

A series of articles has recently been published in thu William sport Jlrenlfutt Tutite exposing alleged abuses in thu asylum for thu insane at this place. A representative of tho Patriot visi ted the institution a day or so ago and was shown through the different wards and af ter making tho closest scrutiny failed to discover anything that would thow either a laxity or unduu severity in tho manage ment of the poor inmates confined therein, Tho author of boiiiu ot thu articles in ques tion was a former employe of tho institu tion, und was dismissed for ill-treatment of n patient, and now excuses ids conduct by asserting that Instances of tho most shock- cruelty and Inhuman treatment nru of com. niou occurrence. As Is usual in such cases great injustice has been done. Dr. Shultz, the superintendent, Is a thorough humani tarian, and has thu entire confidence of tht community in which ho mldcs. No onu has been in thu least disturbed by the sen sational articles appearing in print, and copied by several papers throughout thu state. Thoso having friends and relatives within the building undergoing treatment need give themselves no uneasiness by reading accounts of alleged Inhuman treat ment. That slight abuses exist, or havo existed may 'ha quite true, but how aro they to bo entirely prevented ? The disci puno is very strict, and attendants nre dismissed as soon us it Is known that they are unnecessarily harsh In their treatment. Hut when one of thesu poor crazed cren turcs rushes upon nn attendant with the superhuman strength which frenzy gives, thero Is but one way to meet thu attack force must conquer. Tho Institution cm ploys the best help that can bo procured, consistent with thu amount appropriated by tho statu for this purpose. Thu duties are arduous and often unpleasant, ami uiiiy persons ot strong nerves and wills aro able to fill tho position. It is not to bo wondered at Hint these some times fall in gentleness. As for "Iron clad cells" there Is not one In tho building. And as for "patients being poisoned" an exnini nation but proves that tho Informer wns perverting tacts, and your representative questions whether such nn expose (?) us that published In tho llrealutl 'lUle docs anything better than place dllllculticJ In tho way of those who nro honestly trying to benefit thoso most unfortunate of human .creatures -the Insane.
