For the Reporter. The cloning exercises of the Aarons burg High School conducted by Prof. \V. J\ Linn Kieffer, Friday afternoon June 21st, were a perfect success. The worthy Prof, did not allow the stud ents to spend a week or two of the school time for preparation, but in-1 ;ead, had only regular Friday after noon exercises, with the exception of the music of the day. The essays were well arranged, the subject and words well chosen. Every Lady had an evsav well worthy of considerable com mendation. The declamations deliver ed by tie gentlemen were a good se lection and remarkably well delivered. Select reading by Prof Kieffer was very good. Prof Win. T Meyer en livened the exercises with music, and amused all present by singing a com ic song "The dutch barber,' he also plaved a few instrumental pieeesofhis' composition, pleasing every one pres ent. Dr.Sahin and Mr. Tbos. Yearick, * *. made short addresses, giving cheerful, words for the future wellfare of teacher! and pupils. The students most agree ably surprised their Prof, by present-j ing him with a very beautiful study ing gown. Prof. Kieffer closed the exercises by: delivering a very able farewell address which made every one sad to thiok that we must part with one who so abler performed his duties as a teach er. After the exercises quite a num ber of the young people of Aaronsburg and Millheim went to a spring above town, to enjoy a few more hours with * their friend K.

Erie—The Oil Regioru—irrand Re ception.* A special train, containing the members of the Penna. Editorial As sociation ami their ladit*, from the East, arrived at Williarasport, on Monday evening, 24th ult., the party remaining at the Herdic over night, where a hop ami suntier had been ar ranged for them. Next morning we joined it at Lock Haven, at 8:24, for Erie, and found about 140 ladies ami geutiemeu on board. The heavy rains, l of Monday and the following night, caused a freshet in the West Branch i ami its tributaries, as if for the special purpose of affording the editorial fra ; ternity a good opportunity to watch 1 the great lutuber interests of that re gion. The freshet had brought out the hardy lumbermen, who maned the the rafts and those who acted as dri vers along the streams to set the logs afloat, presenting a brisk scene upon that beautiful stream and its tribute riee. The general appearance of the coun- , try between Lock Haveu and Warten , reminded us very much like the coun- , try between Bellefonle and Tyrone— ] being closely hemmed jp by mountains € on either side, only that the streams , were much larger. The farming in- , teiests along here, are scarce worth , mentioning—saw-logs took the lead, l ( and it struck its that saw-logs were the , breakfast, djnner, supper, as well as , legal tender, of the gvod pgojjp of the West Branch region : at>d when thaiK commodity runs out there, which it is 1 ! bound to do at no distant day, at the t mte at which the lumber has been ta-jl ken out for thp J:i?t decade or more, I the vocal ion of the people of that sec- I tiou will be gone, unless something a new is developed. The scenery along < the Went Branch is highly romantic ; ' many villages dot the narrow valley, ' and rome quite handsome towns are ' met with—all deriving their subsis 1 tano- from the products of their for- 1 eats. Our train made its first halt at novo, which is getting to be a beauli- 1 ful summer resort. Here is a large and J fine hotel, for summer vuifort, #4'* roumle I by a beautiful grouud, which j contains a number of trout ponds, con taining thousands of the speckled 1 beauties. Our party was shown J through the hotel, aud thtu taken to these |ionds. The proprietor, qith a ( bucket-full of miured meat showed us . the feeding tirocess. A rod an I line | was then baited with a chunk of meat!, about as large as a hickory nut, and ( giveu ous of fhe ladies, to show her - -.kill at angliug. hhe threw in ; there was a bite —not upon her head—but f on the hook, and fizz, up went the rod, r all eyes following to see a trout t ling at the end of the liue. But narv , a trout dangled there. A second, t third and fourth attempt, and the MMC| ( result, each failure followed by a round * of laughter. "Here give me the rod," i yelled an educated trout catcher,' Til ; show you how to fetch 'em." He t threw in, there was Q heavy bite—a t pull—and then roars of laughter—no trout on the hook. "The bait is too d large," says our scienced disciple of 11 Walton, and the bait was accordingly J discounted 50 per cout, aud iu flies the i ll hook ; another stout nibble, a jerk, and | ll greater laughter than ever. Other;" hands which professed skill, tried, but always with the same result, excepting 1,1 one, when a whopper was landmJ to u dance a jig upon the sod, but a little r more delay would bnve left him iu his ! native element. We made up our mind these trout were educated not to J Le caught, unlike their uneducated cousins in our mountain streams, or 11 that the hook was made so as to have no draw, and yet to be a sure "draw" on all who undertook to show their skill in the ail piscatorial, for we are not used to have such slips between the * hook and lip, when we go trouting iu t " our romping mountain rivulets. One t of these ponds was about 25 feet long, about 8 feet wide, aud J ieet deep, and ( contained 4000 large trout. "All | aboard" started us for the train, aud c off we sped stopping a few minuits at c Emporium and St. Marys ; stthelat- \ ter place Mr. Armstrong, the gentle , manly station agent, had a keg of , frothy lager put on board the train, aud his health was drank so often as the delicious Teutonic liquid found its , way acroas the thirsty liM of our par- ( ty, that it is astonishing be survived. , At Ridgeway we had a sight of the , second largest tannery in the world, | sud farther on, at Wilcox, was the lar- , gest establishment of the kind in the t world; we halted a few momeuts, to < have a good sight of the immense leath- ■ er institution.
