Pr' vel kt the people from expressing their a call from the Lutheran congregation at

certainly coming. Money was lavished
freely at every election previnft, and the
prostituted jaibles unhesitatingly refused'
, to receive the ballots ofmen whom they
I knew had as much right to vote as they
had. The events of the past few days in
Baltimore are familiar to every one. The

rescued the City of Baltimore from the
hands of the worst faction that ever curs-,

The effect of this grand victory in Ma

The- rongs of the past will now be swift-,

wiped out of the statute books. Means

adopt ample measures to protect in future
' the rights of the humblesteitizen, which,
in the past few yea re, were so shamefully
disregarded by the ruling power. The
judgment which has fallen Upon the
Radicals in Maryland came quickly.—
Nemesis tracked them to their lair, and
in the midst of their pride and revelry
brought them to punishment. Let the

A REQUEST.—Our current expenses are
heavy, and must be met with the cash.
To enable us to do this at all times, it is
obsoletely necessary that our patrons pay
promptly. Many, no doubt, hardly ever
give themselves a thought about "the
printer's" needs, and when they do,
quickly dismiss it with the idea that "he
can get along anyhow."'' But this is all
wrong. Be ea anot in reason be expected

self-evident, we hope that ALL who owe
us will nut delay In making settlements,
in order that we may be .auppliod with
the means to "square. up" a number of
bills which accumulated on our hands
during the late campaign, from want of
time to attend to finaneial affairs. If
the money on our books were in our
pockets, we could do this at onto, and
get along without "dunning" for some
time to come. Let all who owe for sub-
scriptiora job work, or advertising, re- ,
spond without delay.
Such as intend paying for the COMPI - LL'lt in wood, we have to urge that they
bring it soon—not after everybody else is I
supplied. We need it sow, as well as

SIGNS OF A SEVERS WIN: t.—Prom
all quarters we hear of phenomena which
are generally regarded as presages of a
severe winter. Hives overflowing with
honey; unusual thickness ofeorn husks,
and the furs of wild beasts; the migration
of ruts from the West to the ,South ;-and
as the season advances, w.R suppose there
will be added to this list of signs the
extraordinary stores of nuts laid up by
Felairrels. However much we may bo
disposed to smile at such omens, and
leave them to the credenCC of the igno
rant, in view of the venerable antiquity
of the faith reposed hi them, they are in
some degree respectable, and it would be
well for even the most incredulous to he
prepared for a severe winter.
A Hirt , TO L.11)11.1..—An Eastern co
teniporary, who has evidently been
sliced into the mud, and also been in
danger of having his eye put out by the
till of an umbrella arm, takes revenge in
the following language: "Ladies, when
two of you aro walking side by side, ta
king 'up" every inch of the cross-walk,
and the day is rainy and the mud deep,
don't think of such a thing as for one of
you to step behind the other, so ns to
allOw one of the 'lords of creation' to
pass you dry shod, but always do as you
did—crowd, him off into the mud, and
keep your umbrellas bolt upright, too ;
WS no difference to you if he has to hold
his at arm's length away from him so as
to avoid acodlision with yours; and then
it kooks so lady-like and becoming for
you to assert your superiority upon every
such occasion." This advice may not be
amiss in (lettysburg.
BILLIARDS. — The last number of the
Milliard Cue contains an announcement
from Mr. Phelan of an important change
in the by-laws of the game billiards.—
Heretofore when the cue ball was in con
tact with another, or "frozen," the player
had to strike another ball before the one
in which he was in contact, in order to
count. Mr. Phelan announces that after
.tbo first of ueztJauuary, a player, if his
ball be "frozen," can count, provided he
plays away (rpm the ball with which he
is in contact, although on the return of
the cue bail from the cushion or masse

first. Tice new rule will be favorably '
zecelved.

TRACUERW
By reference to another Tiumn it will
be seen that the Teachers' ryounty Insti
tute will tneet at I4lttlestown on Wed..
nesday, Nov. 21st, anal remain in session
three days, It 10 hoped that Teachers
will not only road the notice, but that all
will make their arrangements to attend.
For once let there be a full attendance.
As each one attending will be at consid,
erable expense, it is suggested that,
wherever it is at all practicable to do so,
_Directors allow Teachers the time. This
may induce some to attend who woubi
not otherwise do so.
These meetings are designed for tho
Intellectual and professional advance,
ment of Teachers, and through o them the
improvement, of the schools; and expert.. '
once has fully demonstrated their utility.
Owing to the comparatively low wages
paid and the shortneso of the torm lq
most of the districts, many of our best
TeacheN have either quit the profession
or gone where their services are better
rewarded. Consequently a large major!.
ty of ourpresent teachhig force are young
and inexperienced.
In order to supply the schools with
Teachers, it has been found necessary to
employ and license to teach many who
themselves need to be taught. - These are
for the most part honest and groscien.
' tious, anit seem to he willing to do their
duty to the best of their knowledge and
ability. But it is not to be expected that
they elm teach properly what they never
learned.
If such will act wisely they will em.
brace every opi)ortunity that presentu
itself to acquire month! discipline amt
add to their stock of knowledge. It la
earnestly desired that this Massa Teach
ers avail themselves of the present oppor ,
trinity to profit by the advice end in
struction of those who are older and morp
exp , rieneed than they: -
Directors are also cordially Invited ti'
attend. They ale the guardians of the
educational interests of the county, and
as such we hope that as many of them m
possible will come up to our Meeting',
that we may take counsel of each other.
Startling as the assertion may seem, it is
nevertheless true, that our noble free
school system is in danger of perlik,hlng;
in This county, and that, too, by the
judged but well meant endeavors .of sumo
of its professed friends. It will eertainly
and speedily go , down, if prompt and
vigorous efforts are not put forth tb sus
tain it.
Let us, then, as parents, directors and
teachers, come together for the purposo
mfa.lt • ising, iustrui • tiuq and encouraging
each, antl.thus_propare ourselves to -
charge our respective duties hi a proper
and efficient mianner. The exercises
