the term of thirty-three years, paying

We judge this lease is made with a

Antiquity of Corruption.
Taking all the corrupt practices ti
men in high places, in this country,
the readers of the KKroirrrit might
suppose that such things were not so
"of old but we find that in all ages
there were bribers and bribe-takers
too, though the instances of that vi
cious habit are nut as numerous. Ju
dasJUxtk a bribe, aud for tbe oultry
sum of about thirteen dollars, betrayed
his Lord and master. That case of
bribery dates back Some eighteen hun
dred years, and shows that in the days
of Christ money was all powerful, and
was used, as it is by the politicians and
placi-*cekers of to-day, for corrupt
purposes. Passing over bribery and
corruption that might he cited since
the days f the traitor Judas Iscariot,
we find a record of still greater anti
quity dating back to I*7 years before
Christ: Jason, by corrupting king An
tiochus obtained tbe eftice of high
priest—a fit subject, fiir such u pi
tion indeed, ebt-iuing it bv a corrup
tion fund. The "plum" held out by
Jason to Autiocbus, waa a promise of
three hundred and three score talents
of silver, of another revenue eighty
talents, and to obtain a certain license
from the king, one hundred and fifty
more—just like our governors and
presidents, uow-a-days, are bought to
sign their names to acts granting spe
cial privileges, and sell out their ap
pointments.
Had the system of voting, in vogue
with us, been one of the modes of elec
ting officers in the days of the ancients,
we have uo doubt tbey would have
•hown themselves as expert iu repeat
ing and ballot-box stuffing as in the
4th senatorial district of Philadelphia.
We see they understood the power of
money, and knew bow to use it as a
corruption fuud. Christ certainly was
net a present taker; for when satan
took him upon an high mountain aud
promised to make him a present of all
the kingdoms that could bo viewed
from that elevation, he felt highly in
sulted at the offer, and said, "get thee
hence, satan." This was au offer of a
present considerably more than a cor
ner lot, aud which some men in high
places now would not treat with that
just scorn felt by the Master when sa
tan tempted him, and we think this
chapter from the New Testament
Aould have a pcrmaueut place upon !
walls of the white house, where it
would always be in the eye of our pres- ,
idents, on account of the great lesson t
it teaches. 1

We have beeu Urn long identified —

warning voice against the dastardly
attempt* to preveut it* improvement,
and hence wv publish our vieWj of this
bili:
Ist.' The stockholder* in a com
pany, are ilia company, and stand as
au individual. Now imagine tich in
dividual balding a niartgage iu hi*
own imwcr against hi* own prn|xrtr,
and then asking to raise mum y upon
said pro(ieriy by the sale of otln r
mortgage bond* against said proper It,
and such bonds not to be prcferwl
against a mortgage held by hiuisulf on
bU own prw|>crty!
2nd. What individual ever engag
ed iu the sale of pru|>erty iu that way?
3rd. What railroad was ever built
upon thi* novel plan ?
4th. Our people having paid their
subscription* aud receiving mortgage
bond* instead of the customary certifi
cate* of stock, who will be fool enough
to buy the balance of the bouds, ami
what would outside purchaser* of
bond* have to fall back upou, the
work already being encumbered by
the ttockholder's mortgagee t
sth. A* nobody will buy these
bonds under such conditions, the
money caunot be raised to complete
the road, and hence the work will be
abandoned, and the arnout already
spent by the people of Pennuvulley.
will have been spent for nothing, thus
swamping the stock and killing the
the road to boot
6th. The previao, instead of put
ting the stockholder's bond* on equa
fooling with bond* held by nun flock
holders, make* us accept them at par
while outside parties may buy iheiu
at 40 or 50 cents on the dollar, tak
ing it fur granted that this uoiiseiisi
rai proviso wen- practicable.
7lh. Stockholder's mortgages don't
draw interest, by this absurd proviso,
until twenty mi es of the road are in
running order, while outside parties
ran purchase the balance ot the bunds
at a great discount, and draw interest
from date.
Blli. As stockholders our [KO| J*
have a voice ill the elections and g\-
ttrt'ineni of the mad ; if they change
Ie ami Income bondholders, then all th
5. rights and privilege* iu stockholder
lf art- forfeited, of course. Are our |eti
e pie prepare)l for this ?
p. I lie uate having disagreed to thi
e absurdity, tacked to the bill ii
u (ha house, wo ho|>e the conference
,f couituiuee will also do the same, aiu
B that our people, who have thua far, ii
a good fai h, paid their subscriptions
, will not have the mortification of gee
] ing the road killed, and their tnone)
1 thrown away, by the coin-piracy thai
| bred ibis proviso.
O Lord, what legislation ! are the
fools not all dead yet, or has demo-
L gogueism the sway? We now would
. not object to "ventilating" the insane
1 asylum a little even at a cost of $50,-
000, for we are sure, that by giving
some of its idiotic a little fresh air,
and putting them in the legislature,
they would be quite an improve
ment upon some who a-e tryiu-' to
legislate for the people.
If the Penn'a Hit. Comp. is inug
uanimous enough to accept li e liil Tn
this shape, ami under it raise ll.e mo
ney to complete the road, m.d leaid. s
make our people secure in tin ir in
vestment, we shall rejoice exceedingly,
and it would leave a big o|ieiiing to
take back a great many bard things
said against it.

Correspondence oflhe Reporter.
KAMON PA. March 2nd 1872- Mr Ed
itor; —The catalogues, so long awaited,
have come at last- Everybody was impa
tient, and s.-iuo student look advantage ut
this to "bore one ot the l'refturs, and
••sell" the students. The Professor who
ha- charge af the statistics of the college,
although one of the mort |H>tile, obliging,
I' self-denying, men in the Faculty, i yet
among the ino-l un| pular ones ; a cirvutu
-lante singular and unaccountable. Of
I course every opportunity is umbracvd by
i some to annoy him. Just about the lime
j the catalogues were expected, sums oil*
put a notice on the bulb-tin in the exact
hand writing of this Profeasor, stating that
the catalogues could be had at the room ot
the Professor, immediately after lha morn
tug recitation. This was fai-e, but it had
the effect of making a general ruti for the
Professor's room to his great annoyance.
The number of catalogues sent out last
year was between four and eve thousand
and 1 presume no leas will be diatribulud
this year. There are 222 students anrollud,
2 resident graduates, 33 Seniors, ot Ju
niors. 'it Sophouior* and 6'J Freshmen. Of

are some very eminent in their depart
ments, t . g.. Francis Andrew March,
LL. If, l'rufes.or of tbo Knelish Lan
guage and ot" Comparative IMiilosopby,
who has no npial in this or any otb<*t col
lege in the United State* or Europe, in his
department, and, especially, in Anglo
Saxon; James Henry Coffin LI, L>.. the
author of teveral treaties on Higher Math
ematics and Astroiiauiy ; Thomas B. Pur
ler D. 1). second to none, not even Gray,
in the United States, in Botany and Zoolo
gy, besides such men as A. A. Blootn
bergh, in Modern and Ancient Languages,
indeed, as a linguist in general. In the
Scientific course, we hav • such men as
Fraill is recti, M. It., LL.lt., in Chumis
try ; 11. F. Walling in Civil and
: graphical Engineering: Fred Prime in
Mineralogy and Metallurgy; Kasitor W,
Raymond, Lecturer on Mining G oology .
Siiiiman iu Muting Engineering and
Graphic* ; Moore in Mechanic* and Ex
penini-nul Philosophy. There arc three
eours.-s ui study : The Classical, w huh
is similar to the undergraduate course* of
our best college*, stl'ord* the most ample
opportunities for tin- study of the Ancient
Language*—as we have found thus far in
our course, s< nl*o Mathematics. Modern
Language, Mental, Moral, and Natural
Philosophy. It is an excellent introduc
tion to the special | rofessional study of
Tiii-ology, Medicine, Law and Teaching,
as well as imparling that useful and liberal
learning which bccoiuos a obr'stian schol
ar.
With reference to the next course, or
Pardee Scientific Course, we quote from
the catalogue : "This dvpartuient was or
-5a tured in lNKl,to carryitite effect the con
itinns of a donation froiu A. Pardee, Esq.,
of llaxluton. P. In July, 18G7, in re
sponse to thu growing vrniit* of the depart
ment the originnl donation wa incrua-ed
to S2Ui,<JU), on condition that other friends
of the collego should add thu -uti.w sum to
its endowment. The donations for that
purpose completing nearly half a million
of dollars lately adueihlo the College funds,
were mud a befo e Jan, 1. 1809. In 1871
Mr. Pardee made another donation of
S2UO,(M), for tho erecting of a building de
signed for thu Departments of Engineering
Metallurgy mid Chemistry. Tho de
sign of th;* building lobe'JU) feet long,
and five stories high, with all the most n|2
proved furniture and apparatus we have
seen, and it will certainly be magnificent.
The building will be commenced early in
the coming -pring The Pardee Scientific
department is divided into "A General
Scientific Course, and two Technical
Courses." Thu former U designed for
thoee who wish to study the "Natural
Sciences, Msthainatk-s, M-idern Ln
• I gungs-sand Literalure, llisisiry, Rhetoric,
nienul and moral Philosophy at tborough
-1 ly a* they are studied in our best collcgus
, ami who would be gUil to enjoy the culti
vation and learned habit* and attociationt
of college t'.fe, but who will notntudy Lat
( in and Greek. The trustree* of the college
are deeply impressed with the thought
that our pretcntcollrgiate system hat grown
up under the fostering care ef the Church
and that the relation of our old college
studio*, to manly culture and religious
training, have been studied by generations
of Christian educator*. Tbey have taken
care that the new course shall not be re
moved from the old land-mark*, and that,
*1 ftr ti puwibli, the old approved meth
ods of instruction shall be used in all the
departmenu of ;udy. It will bo found
that tlio new course includes all the studies
o. tliu old, except the Ancient Languages,
and ills believed that the method of teach
ing Kngiish and other modern Classics,
which has been for some years in use in
the college, has been so adapted to the
students of the now course as to give in a
good degree tlio same kind of discipline
that is derived from the study of Lat
in and Uruek." W will speak of the
two Technical courses in our next.
Your compositors scorn to he "comic"

Seals of Alaaka,
Tbe Island* of A'a.ka aru the summer

where they |iemi their winters is an uio '
solved mystery. ."-uffKuiii searih h*s
hei-n made fur their winter b<>de., with a
view t<> taking their skin*, to show that
ills) do not land in any considerable num
' bars on any known ground. They begin
| to leave the islands early ia October, and
by Ihe noddle of DweniUr left
and none are seen again until April or
May. A few hundred, mostly young
pup#, aru taken by tbe Indians around Sit
ka, I.'JOO miles east of the Islands, during
tile month of December, again in March,
, on their return to the islands, and in Feb*
ruary off the coast of Itritish Columbia jj 1
but in such small numbers as to make noj
appreciable difference in the immense 1
number that visit Uio island* annuallv. .
It is claimed by the natives that the seal- 1
return invariably the second year to their '
place* of birth, and, when not too often '
disturbed by driving, continue to do *o. •
In order to test the I ruth of this story. Mr '
Bryant, Special Agent ef the Treasury
Department at St. Paul's island, ha. in- 1
rtiiuled an experiment of an eminent!v 1
practical character, although it might not 1
command the A lire approval of Mr. Berg, |

rookery to the south of the village. This I
hat been done for two years, and next I
yaar the lint will be old enough to lie tak-; 1
en. whou,lhc result will be ascertained.
It is evident that sharks or other vo-i 1
raciout fish pr<>y on the young pups while '
in the water, from tho fact that of more '
than a million pup. annually leaving the '
island*, not one third return to them in
the spring. -

was the pi'tw-n who shouludie; she *i>

his deed hy What seemed to him the pur

go with them far heyou.i the burning star*
and the now er of the devil. A terrific strug

Puill. Th ■ woman was not yet past bar ,
prime, and pos*.'**iil all the vigor of a
hard-working Oermati wife. Margardt '
had hi* hnmls on her throat, as lie has I

llo>n both sprang from the bed and yngag
ud HI a mortal >trugglu for the mastery.
The scanty furniture was scattered in all
direction*, chnir* broken, and evurvthing

light. Visiting the house afterwards I
could not help but picture to myta.f what 11
scene tlml inu*t have been—a strife more
terrible than that of Cain with Abel, for it
' was between man and wife, nud both of (
them linked maniac*. In such a time a*
thnt it wa* inevitable that insanity should
'j culminate in deadly hate forth* passion*
j -f both must by the mere act of strife have
I been wrought to the highest pitch. Here .
Ihe tw o Imd grappled for un instant, the ~
j woman cowering ill the corner, and the
eyes of In r liu-band glaring down upon ~
j her with the hnled bglit <>f manlcal insani
ty. Hi-re she escaped front liim and ran "
j behind the tnlde, making it a barricade
; against liiui liow long thay struggled iii* *
| one can tell, but at last the hand* of the '
husband fastened like a vice u|x>n that rud- *
(dyiieck, there was u gurgling sound, the 1
j eyes almost starting from their socket* r
! opened for the last tune, a rattle, a shiver "
running along the frame, and then all was
lover. The wife had found her children.
! Hut all Was not .vet over, though the
(deed Was done. Margardt lifted the dead "
woman aud laid her upon the bed, com
nosed bor limbs decently, then sat down
basidc the couch while the night wearily c
grew to dawning. In the morning he f
dressed liitusolf, attended to hi* horses, •'
and worked for a while about the farm.
