TUE SOLDIERS' ORPIIANS.—Tiro Days
with the Cassinile School—Grand Anniversary
and Re union Occasion—Mona, Religious and
Patriotic Exercises—lmmense Assemblage of Peo
ple.—LMonday of last week will be a day long
to be remembered, not only by the pupils of
the Soldiers' Orphan School at Cassville, and
the visitors and guests assembled, but by the
citizens of the village and its vicinity.
This day being the Sixth Anniversary of the
organization of the school, it was some time
since determined by rrof. Goss, Principal of
the Institution, not only to make arrangements
for celebrating the day, in a becoming manner,
but to unite with the same a
GRAND RE-UNION
of all the former pupils of the school, who had
been honorably discharged on arriving at the
proper age, by inviting and urging all such to
be present on the occasion, and to be enter
tained free of expense during their stay. In
pursuance of this determination, a circular of
invitation was prepared and addressed to each
of the
" SIXTEE.RS,
n title coined in the Orphan Schools in order
to designate those of the pupils who, accord
ing to the requirements of the law, have been
honorably discharged from the Institution on
arriving at the age of sixteen, this class of pu
pils having now reached 143 in number, 55 of
whom responded to the invitation, and were,
on the Saturday preceding, conveyed from the
Peon'a Railroad station, at Mill Creek, to
Cassville, ill accordance with previous ar
rangements. In addition to the scholars, there
were in attendance, during the occasion, a
number of
VISITORS AND GUESTS,
amongst whom were Rev. J. G. Butler, D. D.,
of Washington, D. C., at present and for sev
eral :ears past well known as Chaplain of the
Lower House of Congress, an amiable christian
gentleman, distinguished for his patriotism,
loyalty, and philanthropy, having preached the
first Union sermon in Washington after the
breaking out of the tebellion, and holding the
first commission, as Chaplain in the Union ar
my,-ever issued by President Lincoln ; a gen
tleman whose warm hearted benevolence and
untiring interest in the cause of the soldier
has contributed to the comforts and the wants
of thousands of our nation's brave defenders,
both during .d since the war.
Mrs. E. W. Butter, Assistant Inspector of
Soldiers' Orphan Schools, was also present.—
Mrs. Rutter has held this position since the
organization of the schools, and is the first
lady ever regularly commissioned by the Gov
ernor of our State. This amiable, kind-heart
ed, and truly exemplary Christian lady has for
many years past devoted her time, her talents
and her ample means to the cause of humani
ty, having for the last twenty years been con
nected with the Home for Friendless Children,
in Philadelphia, an Institution maintained en
tirely by private charity, during which time
she has ministered to the relief of thousands
of those poor unfortunate waifs of humanity
who would otherwise have been uncared for.
To the poor and 1 .wly of earth she has been
a ministering angel ; during the war, with the
most heroic and sef-sacrificing devotion, she
visited personally the camp, the hospital, and
the battle-field, administering with her own
hand the necessary comfort and aid to the sick,
the wounde i and the dying, and now, in com
pliance with a vow made by her on the battle
field of Gettysburg, her time and labors are
devoted to the comfort and maintenance of
the Soldiers' Orphans. Mrs. Butter was ac
companied by Miss Maggie Walk, an amiable
and interesting young lady, teacher in the
Soldiers' Orphan Institute, hiladelphia.
Hon. 11. Houck, our present worthy Duputy
Superintendent of Schools, was a visitor and
participator in the exercises.
Prot. J. F. Spicer, of the Titusville Soldiers'
Orphan School, was present, accompanied by
two of his bupils, Major Wm. Mason, and
Chief Musician, John Thompson.
Rev. J. Kistler, of Waterstreet, Rev. J. Fra
zer, of Marklesburg, and Rev. A. W. Decker,
of Cassville, favored the meeting with their
presence ; your correspondent was there as
special reporter, and in addition to those al
ready named, were a large number of ladies,
mothers and relatives of the orphans. Most of
the visitors and guests arrived on Saturday
evening, and enjoyed the hospitalities of
Prof. Guss, as well as the pleasure of partici
pating in
VIE SABBATH EXERCISES,
which were interesting and impressive, and
consisted of a discourse by Rev. Dr. Butler, in
the morning, from the text "Buy the truth and
sell it not." In the afternoon the pupils were
againassembled in the hall of school building
and after singing by the children, prayer and
other devotional exercises, they were address
ed by Dr. Butler on the importance of Sab
bath School instruction, and the advantages
of early religious training. In the evening
the school was again favored with an inter
esting and instructive lecture by the Dr. on
the subject of "Religious Life in Washington,"
with a brief history of the Educational Insti
tutions, Peculiarities of Society, Religious
Denominations, Sunday School activity, &c.,
connected with the Capital of our Nation,
gathered from the experience of years of pas
torah labor and observation.
.
The Anniversary and Re-union exercises
commenced at 9 o'clock on Monday morning.
the citizens of the quiet village being aroused
at an early hour by the entrance of
THE BROAD TOP CORNET BAND,
awakening the stillness of the morning with
the strains of martial music ringing out on
the clear cold November air, with soul stiring
melody and sweetness. The Baud, under the
leadership of Prof. E. W. Thomas, was engag
ed for the occasion, and were met and escor
ted by the school from the village to the
school building in regular military style, pre
senting quite an imposingdisplay and together
with the
'VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL ACCOMPANIMENT
furnished by the school, under the supervis
ion of Prof. A. Lenk, teacher of Music and
Drawing, contributed largely to the interest
of the occasion, and furnished one of the most
agreeable features connected with the exercis
es of the day and evening. Before the hour
of meeting a large concourse of
CITIZENS AND SPECTATORS
from the adjoining neighborhood had assembled
to witness the exercises, the roads being lined
for miles with vehicles of every description,
freighted with crowds, of all ages and of both
sexes, all anxious to be present in time to par
ticipate in the festivities of the day.
The
T schoolroom hall where the meeting was
held was densely crowded with spectators at
the commencement of the exercises, which
were opened with an impressive and appro
priate petition to the Throne of Grace, by Dr.
Cutler, which was followed by an
ADDRESS OF WELCOME,
delivered to the class of "Sixteeners" by Prof.
Guss, who remarked that he had before him a
scene never before presented to his eyes, in
the assemblage of young men and women, who
in former days had been taught here as chil
dren, by the hands of their mothers, young,
inexperienced, and not knowing what was be
fore them, now no longer children, or even
boys and girls, but young men and women,
rapidly taking their positions in life. His
heart was overwhelmed with gratitude to
God for lengthening out his life to see this
joyous day. He had stood above Niagara
Falls and beheld, what he considered one of
the grandest sights in the world, and on the
top of a peak of the Rocky Mountains, four
teen thousand feet above the level of the sea,
looking down almost upon a continent; hut
never before had his eyes been gladdened by
such a sight as was presented then and there in
the person of his old scholars, young men and
women entertaining towards him such feel
ings of gratitude and kindness. In times past
they had the usual troubles incidental to
school life, but to day they met together as
friends, and he was glad to welcome them
back to these old walls, rendered sacred by
many a scene which time will never efface
from memory. Always welcome, but now
thrice welcome. How changed the scene
since your first arrival here six years ago to
day I These grounds present a far different
appearance now. This building, and these
surroundings have been improved and beauti
fied since then, by the hand of industry and
the eye of taste, and the forty odd new schol
ars admitted this session cannot appreciate
the appearance of the building on the 6th of
November 1865. Through your labors and
patient forbearance this Institution and its
surroundings have been made what they are.
Ile trusted that the younger scholars. from
their example, might learn to improve the pre
cious opportunity afforded them by the glori
ous old State of Pennsylvania, at the mention
of whose name a thrill runs through every
heart, the State that has done more for the
Soldiers' Orphans than all the other States
together, and whose proudest record is that she
has taken care of over eight thousand of them
during six of the past years. She would no
I doubt be amply repaid, for every cent thus
expended, by the industry and business tact
they would infuse into her life and interests.
Ile then gave a short detail of the manner in
which he came to be there, commencing with
the breaking out of the rebellion when he
was trying to preach the gospel in Cumber
land county, the dissatisfaction of some of his
members when he espoused the cause of his
country and encouraged enlistments, his res
ignation, and attempt to obtain a chaplaincy
in the army, his course as an editor in prose-
cuting war against rebel sympathizers at home,
and ending with his visit to eassville, pur
chase of the school buildings, and starting
under the most unfavorable .and discouraging
circumstances, the present school.
;Since that time there have been admitted
432 soldiers' orphans, of whom 245 were boys
and IS7 were girls, coming front the different
coanties, as follows :
Blair 105
Bedford l5
Centre 64
Cambria
Clearfield 46
Clinton
Franklin 1
Iluntingdon l4O
Indiana
4
Of this number 196 were of Methodist pa
rentage '• 49 of Lutheran ; 27 of It iptist ; 27 of
United Brethren; 20 of Presbyterian; 9 of
German Reformed ; 9 of Church of God ; 5 of
Catholic ; 3 of Universalist ; 3 of Disciples ;
2of Adventists ; 12 of Dunkards ; 2 of Al
bright ; sof simply Protestant, and 54 not
given. These children were the offspring of
180 different fathers. Since the school vv,-.8
organized there have been discharged, at the
age of sixteen, 144, 84 boys and 60 girls. Fif
ty-two of these were from Iluntingdon county,
33 from Blair, 30 from Centre, 14 from Cam
and 10 from Clearfield. Forty-five pupils have
been discharged by special order of the State
Superintendent, under the age of sixteen, and
13 were not honorably discharged. Two have
died whose names were on the roll. None have
ever died while in the Institution. So far all
others known to have been connected with
the school are living. Total number dischar
ged, 211, 125 boys and 86 girls. Present here
to day 265, 166 boys and 99 girls. Of those
present, 15 are total orphans. Thirty six will
be discharged this year at the age of sixteen,
36 during the year 1872, 30 during 1873, 37 in
1874, 20 in 1875, and 34 in 1876. Thus in five
years after this all but 48 of those in school
will have been discharged at the age of 16.
He felt th-t the Institution had been produc
tive of soine good, and was glad to know that
he was the only Principal of a Soldier' Orphan
School who had held tb e position for six years,
and each year brings with it greater endear
nients and charms, and infuses new life, ener
gy and spirit into this enterprise.
He concluded by urging them not to forget
their early training when going out on the
field of life, but to act well their part, pressing
onward and upward towards the source and
center of all that is glorious, and that makes
life worth living for.
The address of Prof. Guss was respondedto,
in behalf of the "Sixteeners," by Harper W.
Snyder, a former pupil, and now a teacher in
the School, in a very neat, appropriate and
feeling manner, congratulating the school up
on the enjoyment of such a pleasant re union,
with the privilege of meeting as in the past, to
roam once more through the same old play
ground, and listen again to the ringing of the
same old bell which had so often summoned
them to their studies and to their duty. They
were here, he said, to express their sentiments
and return their everlasting gratitude to the
State, its Governor,and Legislature ; to all who
wished them well, and to their kind friend and
former Principal, Prof. Guss, through whose
generosity and kindness they were permitted
to enjoy the pleasures of this re-union. He
paid a very handsome tribute to ex-Govornor
Curtin, the soldier's friend, and protector of the
Soldiers' orphan children, and to Gov. Geary,
the lustre of whose fame on thz battle field
paled before the brilliancy of his executive ca
reer, and concluded by encouraging his com
panions and associates in school life to press
onward, doing their duty to their fellow men,
to their country and to their God ; to separate
with new determination,
inspired with zeal
and energy worthy of the work of life, that
when time has run its course r and the world
has passed away, they all might meet around
God's throne in Heaven.
Professor Gusa apologized to the school and
visitors for the absence of Prof. Wickersham,
State Superintedant, and introduced
MR. H. HOUCK,
Deputy Superintendent, who favored the au
dience with an address of some length, full cf
interest, instruction and encouragement. He
regretted that Prof. Wickersham could not be
here to witness the grand success of the anni
versary, and said that as the next best thing
he might have furnished him with his speech.
It was a glorious occasion and be trusted all
would go back cheered and encouraged; better
men and women, and with stronger love for
our country and its institutions. Pennsylva
nia has done more for the soldiers' orphan's
than any other State, but not as much as they
deserved at her hands. Ile had been aston
ished at the proficiency and thoroughness
with which they had bees taught, and was
satisfied that they were not neglected children.
The management of the school, had been home
like
and happy. They were a success, and
no one now would be willing to discontinue
them until all are cared for. Fifteen hundred
young ladies and gentlemen had gone out
from these schools,whose record furnished one
of the most convincing arguments in their fa
vor ever presented, every one of them being
engaged in honorable callings and doing their
duty in almost every department of life. He
referred to the lives of a number of our groat
est men who had risen from poverty and ob
scurity, and by perserverance, integrity and
industry, had gained the highest place in
the temple of Fame and Honor, and re
minded them that to all who pursued the
sume course there was a bright future
to which they might confidently aspire.
He 'complimented the female teachers of
the State as being the most succesful,
and denounced in strong language the great
wrong done them in many places by compell
ing them to the do same amount of labor, for
lower salaries, than those received by the op
posite sex and concluded with an honest ex
ortation to work together in making our
schools what they should be, and thereby Te
ndering our great country what it claims to be,
and is, above every other nation, the laud of
learning, the home of Christianity; the land
of the free, and the paradise of the world. The
concluding remarks were received with the
greatest applause.
REV. DR. BUTLER,
by request, addressed the school and audi
ence briefly, congratulating the great Key
stone State upon the success of the system in
augurated for educating her soldiers' orphans,
and predicting a bright future for those whose
glad faces he saw before him, so well clothed,
fed, instructed and cared for.
being called on, made some very well timed
and encouraging remarks, as one who had for
merly been in charge of an Orphan School and
knew something of its pleasures and its diffi
culties, and advising the children present to
trust in God and do right and then they would
raise up an abundance of friends, while the
State would be repaid a thousand times for
the expense of their education and training.
MRS. K. W. HUTTER,
Assistant Inspector, S. 0. S. at the request of
the audience and school. addressed to them a
few remarks, in her usual tender and winning
manner, which were listened to with the most
respectful attention and interest. She com
plimented the youthful orator who had deliv
ered the response of welcome in behalf of the
class, referring very feelingly to a scene which
transpired some five years ago, and predicted
a field of usefulness in store for him. Her re
marks to the girls were beautiful and encour
aging. Referring to the question of woman's
rights, she believed that here in a America,
God has placed woman in the position he de
siged her to be, and given her a great work to do
Washington, Randolph, John Quincy Adams,
and other great men owed all their greatness
to their mothers, and cherished to the end of
their lives the memory of the prayers taught
them around their mother's knee There are
a great many positions in life which woman
can very ably fill. She urged upon them the
importance of becoming Christians as the first
thing and the foundation of everything that is
good and noble in life,
PROF. J. P. SPICER,
of the Titusville, S. 0. S., in a short address
referred verry feelingly to his former relations
with the school as a teacher, and gave an in
teresting history of the Institution now under
his care in the oil regions. Mrs. flutter in be
half of
GOY. GEARY,
presented a verbal apology for his absence,
regretting his unibility to attend as announc
ed, and accompanied with the assurance of
his sympathy and proffer of assistance to the
scholars, in any enterprise they might hereaf
ter undertake.
The meeting then adjourned with a benedic
tion by Rev. A. W. Decker.
The exercises as previously announced com
menced at 7 o'clock, by which time the Hall
was crowded to its utmost capacity, about 800
persons being present, including the school,
officers, visitors, and a large and respectable
assemblage of spectators.
THE ENTERT4INMENT
was opened with some very fine music discour
sed by the hand, followed by an interesting
tableau, and concert recitation of the Lord's
Prayer, by the school, and consisted of Essays,
Orations, Declamations, Music, etc.
An Eseay on "The Bible," read by Miss Em
ma Myers, followed by Hymn, "We will follow
the Bible," &c., was a very beautiful and chaste
production.
"Our Destiny," an Essay by Miss. Cordelia
Miller, was carefully prepared and evinced
much taste.
"Cassvillc," an Essay by Miss Mary Regan,
was a very beautiful, well written and vivid
description of the village and its surroundings,
including the adjoining mountain scenery, and
the site of the Orphans' School.
"Chicago" was the subject of a very well
written and highly appropriate Essay, by Miss
A. Morgan.
The l•Apostrophe to Water," was very finely
rendered by Charles Jones, a boy who, on en
tering the school six years ago, was afflicted
with so great an impediment of speech as to
be scarcely able to talk intelligibly, but who,
by perseverance and energy, is now in one of
the first classes.
"Heroes and Martyrs" was spoken by Frank
lin Martin with very fine effect.
"The Soldier's Funeral," a Declamation by
Miss Blanche Miller, was one of the finest
things of the evening, as also the music—" Far
Away," by Misses. C. Miller and E. Myers.
"Give us back the Tails," a comic burlesque
on the Darwin theory of man's origin, byChas.
Jones, elicited great applause, as well as the
"Song of Jokes," by Franklin Martin, and the
"Belleflower Polka," by Misses Anna Guss and
Katy Fry, while the musical performance of
Miss Mary Guss, a mere child, was the subject
of much admiration. "In the Starlight," by
Misses Susan Reed and Anna Kees reflected
great credit on the youthful vocalists.
"The Follies of Women," a comic perform
ance, by Franklin Martin, closing with a de
scription of the "Grecian Bend," brought down
the house.
A comic theatrical performance, entitled,
"The Four Representatives," participdted in
by a number of boys, was performed in a man
ner at once life-like, comical and mirth-pro
voking.
The exercises throughout evinced not only
a large amount of native talent,but an amount
of labor, attention, and thorough drill highly
creditable to the principal instructor, Mr. J. C.
Clarkson, under whose supervision the enter
tainment was prepared, and to whose admira
ble taste, attention and indefatigable labor
they were mainly indebted for the manner in
which they acquitted themselves on the occa
sion.
A brief but highly creditable address was
delivered by Major Wm. Mason, of the Titus
ville Soldiers' Orphan School.
Mr. Houck, by request, addressed a few
words of congratulation and encouragement;
Rev. J. Kistler followed with some well timed
and encouraging remarks, and in conclusion a
brief address was delivered by your corres
pondent, the reporter on this occasion, which
was listened to with the most respectful atten
tion, considering the lateness of the hour, but
of the merits or demerits of which I ant not at
liberty now to speak.
The meeting then adjourned with three hear
ty cheers in behalf of the “Sixteeners," Prof.
buss, and all who had contributed to the en
tertainment.
Nothing transpired to mar the harmony or
prevent the enjoyment of the occasion, and
the entertainment was one which will no doubt
long be remembered by all who participated,
and, in short, no one could go away from such
a scene without feeling more in love with our
Soldiers' Orphan Schools, our country and her
flag, than ever before, and a higher apprecia
tion of the wisdom, the patriotism and philan
thropy of our glorious old Commonwealth, in
thus gathering together under the shadow of
our nation's flag, the orphan children of her
brave defenders, there to instruct them in the
lessons of industry, morality and patriotism
which will fit them for life's great battle, and
enable them to become ornaments to society
and to the State.
To Prof. Gass, Principal of the Institution,
too much praise cannot be awarded, for the
untiring industry, perseverance and self
sacrifice exhibited in getting up the entertain
ment, and the unsparing effort made to render
it a success, all of which was done at his own
individual expense. The admirable system
and regularity with which every arrangement
was planned and carried into effect ; spoke vol
umes in favor of his executive ability, togeth
er with that of all his assistants and employ
ees, while the unsparing personal effort made
to render every one in attendance both com
fortable and happy, to say nothing of the hos
pitable and bountiful repast which was spread
for all, the tables literally groaning with the
good things of this life, and of which strangers
and guests were alike welcomed and invited,
conspired to impress all who participated in
the happy re-union with feelings of the most
heartfelt gratitude and admiration.
Early on Tuesday morning the band of young
men and women, for whose benefit the eater
tainment was provided, bade adieu to their
warm hearted friend and benefactor, and for
mer companions, and, in company with• most
of the visitors and invited guests, took passage
on the vehicle in waiting to convey them to
the railroad, in order to return to their vari
ous homes and avocations, bearing with them,
no doubt, a pleasing remembrance of what
they bad seen and heard, never to be trased
from their memory.
TIIE CONFIDENCE GAM E.—FIom to Get
Board on Tick.—Saturday, the 21st day of Oc
tober, ushered into this place, a dapper little
"cuss," about four feet four, dressed in drab
clothes, plug hat, and named T. Hatfield, of
Philadelphia, at least so he registered him
self. He was in the potent right business; he
carried a patent "Pruning Shears" and about
as much brass, in Isis face, as would line a
brass kettle. Brass is as necessary for the
patent right business as fortitude is necessary
for a thief. Hatfield was not only very brassy
but very consequential. We met him day af
ter day, for ten days, or two weeks, and we
would just as soon have met Father Kirkland.
or the "Angel Gabriel" or any other egotist
who believes wholly in himself. When he ar
rived in town, he put up at the Morrison
House, wrote his name upon the register, in a
characteristic hand,—T. Hatfield, Phila.—and
told the proprietors that he desired to stop for
at least two weeks, if necessary, to sell his
patent. He then settled himself down to run
things his own way. It is true tlmt he had
rather a.youthful air, but he pit on the car
riage of a man of forty, talked to servants as
if they were specially hired to wait upon
him, and taught people about the house a va
riety of tricks, the last of which was a prac
tical one at the expense of the landlords.
Time rolled away until Mr. Hatfield had run
a nice little "Billy." One evening a chum
joined him, who appeared to be overjoyed to
see him,and after a number ofcongratulations,
in the presence of one of the landlords, he,
the newcomer, stated that he had seen Hat
field's father, the day previous, in Cleve:and,
Ohio, and that he intended sending him a re
mittance, of fifty dollars on the following day.
After making this statement, in an under tone,
but loud enough to be overheard by the land
lord aforesaid, he insisted upon Hatfield tic
companing him to Lewistown, where he stated
he intended having a pleasant time. Hatfield
suggested that he had no money to pay his
bill and consequently could not go. Oh, yes,
his friend would see the landlord and arrange
the matter, and he stepped up to the proprie
tor to repeat what had been said and over
heard in an under tone. Hatfield would be
back in the morning to get his remittance and
all would be lovely. Couldn't he go ? Of
course he could! And he went. He nor the
remittance have not put In an appearance
since. Pass him round.
A CONDUCTOR OF A FREIGHT TRAIN
KILLED.-His Head and Feet Cut Of—William
Sharrer, son of Jacob Sharrer, living in Smith
field, contiguous to this borough, a conductor
of a freight train, on the Huntingdon and Broad
Top Railroad, was killed, instantly, at Fisher's
Summit, on Wednesday afternoon, about five
o'clock, by being precipitated from one of, the
cars which run over him, severing the upper
part of his head and both his feet. The grade
being very heavy at this point, all heavy trains
going south, are divided and the engine runs a
section to the Summit to a siding on a down
grade and returns. In this instance the- sec
tion was ran on the siding, under a good head
way, and the brakeman on the rear end of the
section plied the brake severely, and brought
the section to a sudden stop, which caused
Sharrer to loose his equilibrium, and he was,
suddenly, precipitated to the track, with the
result above sta,ed. He was brought to Hun
tingdon on Thursday, by his parents, and was
consigned to his last resting place on Friday
last. He leaves a wife and two children to
mourn his loss,

TUE VALUABLE EFFECTS OF MANU
FACTORIES UPON THE AGRICULTURAL AND OTHER
INTERESTS.-The Manufacturing and Agricul
tural interests are invariably lotitually bene
ficial. We cite a single illustration, and leave
the reader to call up, in his own mind, as he
can easily do, similar cases in every section of
Pennsylvania, or any other State, where Man
ufactories have been introduced.
The "Steel Rail Works" at Baldwin, near
Harrisburg, Pa., were commenced in 1867, in
a locality devoted wholly to farming. The
land around was then worth $l5O per acre.
Them were no buildings in the vicinity ex
cepang four farm houses. In two yetrs the
average price of land, per acre, went up to
$5OO. It has since sold, in lots, at the rate
of $3,000 per acre. Ninety-six houses were
erected in two years. There are now one hun
dred and twenty-five houses, and a large
village, many of the houses being owned and
occupied by the workmen employed in the
Steel Works. A church and school-houses
are among the improvements. The company
pays one-eighth of the township taxes, besides
State and Federal taxes, with which additional
schools have been supported; and roads have
been made, improved, and repaired, which
would otherwise have been left untouched
for want of funds. A market has sprung up
for 'garden products, flour and meat, that has
put money into the pockets of neighboring
farmers, and enhanced the value of their
farms. Saw mills, lime-kilns, and quarries,
in the vicinity, have had a large increase of
orders for their products, and employment
has _been given to mechanics in building
workshops and dwellings for the company
and their workmen. The demand of the com
panyfor iron supports one large furnace wholly,
and others partially, besides the large consump
tion of mineral coal and charcoal, and the
increase of traffic afforded to railroads, in the
transportation of coal, iron, and finished rails.
These are some of the results of introducing
Manufactories through the rural districts, and
infusing into them life and vigor by a judicious
system of protection.

MR. EDITOR :—We have been told "not
to let our right hand know what oar left
doeth," but exceptions to this may and should
be made in regard to the work of some of our
ladies, the past week or so, in aiding the suf
ferers of Chicago and the North West. Two
large boxes of guod clothing were packed, the
result of their efforts, and we know that some
poor unfortunate sufferers will thank God for
the kindness of the ladies of Huntingdon.
But . ladies, do not forget the divine injunction,
"Be not weary in well doing." Your work
should be only begun; the suffering has only
begun, and God only knows when it will end.
Can -pot more work be done ? And has this
synipathetic benevolence not been of benefit
to yourselves ? Have you not felt benefited, and
felt that this affliction has been sent upon our
country to appeal to our sympathies and draw
our affections more from earth, teaching us
lessons of christian charity, and the blessedness
of giving? An incident is related of a servant
girl, bringing her hard earned savings ($2O)
to her mistress, to buy bread for Chicago.
When remonstrated with, and asked, could she
give so much, was it not intended to assist
a relative? etc. Her only answer was, "Take
it all, I cannot keep it, for I've been hungry."
Here was benevolence, such as experience only
could prompt, she had felt the pangs of hunger,
and her sympathetic heart could not withhold
her savings, no doubt it was a great sacrifice;
she exercised self denial, and cannot we do
the same? When want on all sides is staring
us in the face—will the ladies not continue
their efforts and, if needs be, make some sac
rifice? And our young unmarried lad es,when
they meet for a social evening, instead of light
conversation, fancy needle work, &c., would it
not be a more blessed enjoyment to be cloth
ing some of God's destitute ones, if not abroad,
at home, in our own town? Call on the gen
tlemen to assist, for it is their work to lend a
helping band, form societies and relieve the
suffering, clothe the destitute, and He who has
said a "cup of cold water given in his name"
will give the reward. "The poor ye have al
ways with you," and are they not "always with
us" to give us opportunities of doing for Him
who. has said. "In as much as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these, ye have done
it unto me." EIUM&NITY.

with the B. k M. Railroad by the Iron Bridge
at Burlington, and called the BURLINGTON
ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running to Oma
ha, connects with the great Pacific Roads, and
forms to-day the leading route to California.
The Middle Branch, entering Nebraska at
Plattsmouth, passes through Lincoln, the State
Capital, and will this year be finished to Fort
Kearney, forming the shortest route across the
Continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. M., diverging at
Red Oak, falls into a line running down the
Missouri through St. Joe to Kansas City, and
all Kansas. Passengers by this route to Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern lowa, and Missouri,
and, by a slight divergence, can see Nebraska
also. . .
Lovers of fine views should remember the
Burlington Route, for its towns "high gleam
ing from afar"—its tree-fringed streams—its
rough bluffs and quarries—its corn oceans
stretching over the prairies further than eye
can reach.
