FridA, Mormillag. Feb: $4, 1571 DELINQUENTIL—Quite a large num ber of subeckbers to the STAR AND SRN- Timm are in arrears for anbeeriPthin and jobbing. We have repeatedly. notified these delinquents, and in a few instances they have responded, bit a large majority are still in arrears. - We again make the request to these persons that they pay up and hope to hear from them before the first of April aext. We are compelled to pay cash for material, paper, ink, labor performea, &c., and it is a very difficult matter to do so, unless our friends and.pa trona will settle their indebtedness prompt ly. We dislike these repeated duns, and if delinquents would but comply with our terms, there would be no necessity for them. To those who have promptly responde to previous calls, we tender thanks. The first of April is general settlement day, and we hope the Printer will be duly re membered. A few dollars from each sub- N. scriber would be a small matter to them, but of vast importance in the aggregate to us. Who will be the first to respond ? Arruitunar. WANTED.— , At this office. Must be of grill character, and possess fair primary education. One resident in town preferred. Apply immediately. APPOINTED,—Adam Hoke has been ap pointed Postmaster at Granite Hill, vice G. F. Gulden resigned. art`e have been favored with another article from "D, P. F." on the New York State Fair, which will aprir next week. ROBBED.—The store of Messrs. John Yost & Son, in Mountjoy township, was entered, through the cellar, on the night of the 9th inst., and the change in the drawer taken; about $4. FIRE.—We learn that the dwelling of Richard Price, near Hampton, took fire at an early hour on Monday morning, and VMS burnt to the ground. Insured in the Dover (York county) company. REVIVAL. —A protracted meeting has been in progress for several weeks in the Ev. Lutheran Church, New Oxford, under the pastoral care of Rev. Dr. Hauer. The house is crowded with attentive hear ers. Deep solemnity prevails, many en quiring, "what must I do to be saved." We understand that a 'considerable num ber rejoice in the hope of forgiveness of sins. BURNED.-Mr. William Brown, of Ox ford township, this county, met with a severe accident on the Bth inst. Whilst engaged in putting off a blast in a lime stone quarry, a can of about five pounds powder close by him, was ignited, and ex ploded, burning his hands in a shodking manner. His clothes took fire, but by the assistance of two other workmen, they were removed before the body received any injury: Dr. J. Culbertson was called and the injured man is doing well—Com pirer. MORE OF IT.—lt seems that "Hamilton & Gardner, No. 5 Beekman street, New York," are dispensing their favors liber ally. Last week we gake in full one of 1 1 their epistles addressed to Mr. High:tin. Mr. John Hartman, of Mumniasburg, sends us another addressed to him, a dup licate of that received by Mr. Bighorn, word for word , also inviting $13.75 to be sent for the redemption of a watch worth $4OO. These rascals have doubtless flood ed the mails with similar letters, and may catch some green ones._ The peculiarity is that they are written, not lithographed. OLD CENT.—Maj. Samuel Lohr, -of Franklin town§hip, showed us, the other day, an English cent made in the reign of King George 11, and dated 1748—being 123 years old. Mr. Lohr found it in a field whilst husking corn last fall. Who has an older cent?— Compiler. John M. Tate;of this place, has in his possession two English pennies, of older date, both issued during the reign of George ll—one dated 1733 and the other 1734. Mr. Tate also showed ns a well preserved American cent pf 1794. Wav DOES IT MEAN ?—Some months ago, the Supreme Court appointed an to report distribution of the fund arising from the sale of the Gettysburg' Railroad, to and among the bond-hold ers. As there is no special legal diffi culty involved, and the matter is main ly one of calculation, it was generally supposed that but a brief time,. ten days at most, would - suffice for the. Auditor• to get his report ready. The matter has now been in his hands for more than two months, and no sign of a report. Whit is the meaning of this delay ? It is true the money, $lBl,OOO, is worth some $3O to somebody every day this distribution is delayed; but we should be reluctant to believe that the auditor, himself a son of one the Supreme Court Judges, is in fluenced thereby. Trill no.—There was no special obser vance of the 22d of Febuary in this place. ; Although the day is made a legal holiday by legislature enactment, the stores ans places of business were kept-open. At 10 o'clock, A. M., the Zousves, in full dress uniform, paraded, their full drum corps waking up the town. During the afternoon, quite a sensation was produced on the streets, by the appear ance of a mounted masquerade party, over 60 persons being in line—ail being well disguised and representing fantastic char acters of every imaginable 0000eption.— The party attracted much attention, and after passing through MOW& the Streets, followed by a large crowd, drew up in the centre square kir roU-calL The masqie raders seemed to be well officered, arni.rufi a "fantastic" parade, the affair was sVde cided success. Later in the day the Gettysburg Brass Band took position in the centre square, and for seine time discoursed most excel lent music. Form) Our,--Appropos of the "'strictly confidential" letters about counterfeit currency with which the New York sharp. ers have occasionally taken in knaves and dupes, the Buffalo Express relates the fol lowing rich incident: "One day a man, who shall be natne- I ens, entered Police Superintendent Doyle's private office and asked to sin Ir. Doyle. The courteous Chief motioned him to a chair, and asked him to state his case, for the visitor seemed in a greatly perturbed state of mind. "Mr. Doyle," he began, "I have been swindled. and I want you to help me pun ish the aeoundrela." "Explain?' sententiotudy remarked the Superintendent & "See bere t s ' (producinra letter Bissau to the show,) "I get one of these things a couple of weeks ago, and I sent down twenty dollars." "Well, what did you get in return 1 1 " asked Mr. Doyle. "A paper box of sawdust," exclaimed the a ror, "and that's what I want toy , see about. I want yon to-• " , top a bit," interrupted Mr. Doyle; "what did you expect to reeelve for your twenty dollars?" "Why—why—just what this states," stammered the many bolding up the hitter.

II I - PrtmomAmami £3ocirrv.—The "Bien nial Exercises" of the Philomatlueati' Society of Pa; College, in Agricultural An Wednesday night, atixacted a butS ittilisikue• Tht ALM to its utmost capacity, many persons being un ablet o get in.

RAY, D. D The essays and orations showed a good deal of culture, with creditable style, and vii us, original thought, and were well received by the andterlee, the speakers beingtach warmly applauded. The effect of several of the speeches was marred by defective memorization. As we write, a friend hands us the annexed notice of tie exercites. [For the Star and Sentinel. We bad the pleasure of attending the Biennial Exhibition of the Philomatlnean Society, held last evening in Agricultural Hall. The audience was large and appre ciative, and exhibited a deep interest in the exercises of the occasion. The per formances, of different degrees of merit, all evinced a good measure of culture and thought. The Salutatory address was delivered by Mr. Kurtz of Baltimore, selecting as his theme, "Wedded Names." It was writ ten with great coirectness and beauty, and was appropriatO in sentiment. With a voice of more than ordinary compass and volume, he easily filled the Hall. Hii manner should have been less studied and artificial. "The Little Pulpit" by Mr. Stall, was spoken in an effective, natural and pleas ing manner, and was well received by the audience. He dwelt on the power of the pulpit, and made some good hits on tim id and time-serving ministers. There was an occasional looseness in the style. The essay of Mr. Bartholomew, on "The Spirit of Philosophy," was scholarly in thought, correctly written and well read. Perhaps there were too many technical terms of philosohy, and learned allusions for such an occasion. "Head-Lights," by Mr. Moser, was somewhat striking in conception, and de livered in a manner calculated to arouse and inspire. The thought and style need ed condensation. This performance would have been a decided success, but for failure of the memory. Mr. Fortney's essay on "The Voice of Nature," was a clear and forcible presen tation of the relations between the natural and spiritual worlds. It was read natural ly, though the voice was wanting in purity. The performance of Mr. Michael should have been the most popular and success ful one of the evening. His subject was "Faces." It was treated in a novel and original manner, and _was full of happy hits and witty allusions. Such a piece occasionally, ill decidedly refreshing, in the midst of abstract literary and philo sophical discussions. The enjoyment of the audience was somewhat marred by the speaker's failure of memory. Ou such occasions, the young men should put themselves beyond all possibil ity of failure by careful and timely prepa ration. We detect also, on the part of many, a tendency to make their produc tions too lengthy. Whether this is the fault of the young men, or through the oversight of the Prof. of that department, we do not know. We are much pleased to note the general style of reading and speaking exhibited, and an almost entire absence of the old stilted; rhetorical and artificial methods. - The music, generously furnished by ]'dies and gentlemen frow the town, was excellent, and the college and community are under peculiar obligations to these lovers of music for their help on -such occasions.

The first Sabbath School convention of Adams county, composed of the townships of Hamilton, Oxford and Berwick and Berwick borough, held its third meeting in St. Johns. Church, in Abbotstown, on Saturday, Febnary 18. The meeting was called to order by D. E. Hollinger,• Vice President. After spending some time in devotional exercises the convention proceeded to business.— The minutes of last meeting were read and after a few corrections adopted. Reports of the Lutheran 8. 8. of Ab bottatown, Lutheran S. 8. of New Oxford, Methodist S. 8. of New OXford, Valley S. School, Walnut Grove and Union S. S. of East Berlin, were presented. The question, "What is the best order of exercises of a Sabbath School?" was discuise
