Henry A. Neff, esq., of Porter, drives a splendid pair of bays. Geo. A. Port had the muddiest job of the season on hand last week. J. C. Stevens is the happiest man in Peters. burg. It is a brick moulder. Some of the landlords have reduced their rents from ten to fifteen per cent. When Lytle and Mattern have a case of in terest, in Court, there is a jolly time. We are not indebted to any of the Fish Commissioners for a copy of their report. The new street crossings are a decided fail ure ; too low, gentlemen, by several inches. Smucker & Brown are throwing a splendid banner to the breeze, from their new factory. "Dot leetle German band" treated our citi zens to a serenade on Thursday. night of last week. Now is the time to get your envelopes print ed. We are sending out thousands. Give us a call. We hear occasionally of the ‘Mollyllaguires' at Broad Top. What in the name of Confucius are they ? Mr. Henry Hess. of Petersburg, got his ice house filled, though the ice crop has almost been a failure. The Cove Echo man, like gouts of the rest of us, has had his sensibilities shocked by the braying of an ass. On Saturday and Sunday last March winds were prevalent, and Old Boreal made every thingmoveable fly. We bear of quite a large number of new buildings to be erected this coming spring.— The more the better. The Evangelical Lutheran Church, of Pe tersburg is holding a protracted meeting. We wish them success. J. C. Walker's store has been re-opened, at Petersburg, and they are doing business under the name of their Assignee. The party who sent us the startling item, entitled "A hard cheek," should have furnish ed us his name to secure publication. Mrs. Mary Shoemaker, of Oneida township, died, suddenly, on Sunday evening, while vis iting some friends on Shaver's Creek. Dr. A. B. Brumbaugh, on Friday last, insti tuted a prosecution for libel against A. L. Gass. A civil action was entered also. Forty-seven persons have professed religion during the progress of the revival in the M. E. Church. May the good work continue. Morrison, he of the paper mill, was in town last week. He is growing wonderfully wide out, but then his face is all smiles and dimples. The various county papers are publishing a tabular statement of the triennial assessment, in accordance with an act of the General As sembly. The Silsby Minstrel Troupe will bold forth, in February, for the benefit of the Ladies' Re• lief Society. They always draw crowsigd houses. There were at least fifteen tramps supplied with food, at our domicil, within the last week, What is the cause of this extraordinary num ber of mendicants ? Our old friend and pupil, David S. Bruin braugb, esq., of Altoona, is named as a Repub lican candidate for Legislature. Ray his as pirations be gratified. The Pennsylvania Railroad appears to be very much crowded with freight. Trains were run all day on Sunday last which is an excep tion to the general rule. It is thought that the new school house, under contemplation at Petersburg, will be a failure. Who will the Petersburg children thank for knowing nothing ? The new school house in West Huntingdon, was occupied by Mr. Fouse and others, on last Thursday. The children will soon be wading about in the mud in that locality. We booked the names of quite a respectable number of new subscribers to the JOURNAL, during court. There is still room for more. Only $2 a year, in advance. Roll in I A nice time some of the young men had in the school house, below Petersburg, on last Sunitity night a week ago. Some of the young men were rather too old to go to school. Our esteemed friend, Jacob Snyder, esq., is a candidate for re-nomination for the office of Treasurer of the Mountain City. We hope he may be successful in his aspirations. We learn that Capt. Thos. S. Johnston and Alex. Port, esq., go out of the School Board en the first of June next. We think it would be wisdom to re-elect them if they will serve. The Town Council ought to construct a causway on Bth and Washington streets, There is no place in the town that is more frequent ed and the accommodations are simply fright ful. • If the friends of local option want to main tain the present law it would be well for them to be on their guard. Petitions for its repeal, signed by thousands, are being offered in the Legislature. Lutz, of the Bedford Inquirer, Haggerty, of the Clearfield Republican, and Meek, of the Bellefonte Watchman, were in town last week, and, strange to say, neither of them got into the lock-up. The Sheriff, with Deputy Westbrook, tilde A raid upon several "b'ys" who were re tailing the , 'o be joyful" in the neighborhood of Dudley, the other night, and the chaps are now in Castle Houck. We learn that a glorious revival of religion Is in progress in the M. E. Church, at Everett, Bedford county, Rev. A. M. Barnitz, Pastor. Sixty persons have been converted, and the work is still going on. The Educational Committee of the House of Representatives has selected a sub-committee to investigate the Cassville Soldiers' Orphan School Scandal, in connection with the Senate committee. It will sit in this place. The Mount Union summer resort project, 'which is certainly a highly commendable one, * has not assumed definite shape yet. We hope that it may he suecesiul and that our friends may all lice to see the town as famous as fiaratoga. The school that has occupied Port's building, on Fifth street ; for several months past, took its departure for the new school building in West Huntingdon, on Friday last, and we will merely add that we have no tears to shed over Its removal. A meeting of the Republicans should be held at once to place in nomination a good borough ticket. Remember that all our muni cipal officers are to be elected on the 17th yroximo. It would be wvll to do this through put the co etc The Huntingdon Car Works are doing all of the repairing for the Empire Oil Company, east of the mountains. They also do all the repairing for the Powelton Coal and Iron Company. They are also building tauks•for the former company. Sanderson takes up his quarters in the new school house. He contemplates having a pon toon bridge moored from Mifflin over to Moore street. The boats will be a nice thing for the scholars at recess ;Alley will only be required for morning and evening servicnas abridge. Judge Dean insists upon disposing of a case after it is once put upon the trial list. It is a fact that if there is only three cents difference between parties, and the case is not disposed of, it will be sure to find its way upon every successive trial list, until it is. The Judge is right. C. G. Welch, esq., who has been Superin tendent of the new Car Works, since their completion, wel earn, has resigned his position and accepted a more lucrative one on the North Central railroad, with headquarters at Washington D. C We are sorry to hear of his leaving town. • One night last week, a mink invaded the premises of N. B. Corbin, esq., in West Hun tingdon, and performed a handsome surgical operation upon N. B.'s ftivorits pullets. Elev en bad their jugular severed and were stark in death, in the morning. N. B. has been look ing for some mink sable since then. The Aldine, for February, has a fine full page engraving, drawn by Howe, of the rail road cut below the railroad bridge across Stone Creek. It contains four other views on the Juniata. They do this section much cred it. We do think that we have the finest scen ery, along the Little Juniata and the Branch that is to be found in the State. The animal election, of the Bedfdrd and Bridgeport Railroad Company, was held in Bed ford, on Monday last, and resulted as follows : President—John Cessna. Directors—Messrs, John Alsip, George W. Anderson, Josiah Ba con. W. Chenowitb, Jno. G. Hartley, W. J. Howard, Jacob B. Jones, John M. Kennedy, J. W. Lingenfelter, Geo. B. Roberts, Edmund Smith, and John Edgar Thompson. Mrs. Mary 8., wife of Col. John F. Lowry, of Hopewell, Bedford county, died, on the 20th inst., and was buried at that place on Thurs day last. She was a daughter of the late George It. Barndollar, esq., of Woodberry.— She hed been an invalid for several years and confined to her room for months. Her many virtues will long be remembered by thosewbo were intimate with her. She leaves a kind and affectionate husband and a loving daugh ter to mourn her loss. Peace to her fishes. In the trial of the case of the Borough vs. M. D. Massey, Maj. Petriken raised the point that a citizen could only be sufficiently noti fied of the provisions of an ordinance by its publication in one or more newspapers, ac cording to the provisions of the General Bo• rough act. In Huntingdon a citizen is not ex pected to know what the provisions of an or dinance are. A bill is stuck up against a tree or a post, to be pulled down in a day 'or two, and everybody must commit it to memory or rue the risk of being prosecuted for tearing down the bill. Several weeks ago, a son of Benjamin Isen berg, esq., of Porter township, hitched up a spring wagon, in the evening, and drove over to Alexandria, a distance of five miles, over a rough road, and at a rapid rate, to church. About the time church wts out some one dis covered five Cochin China chickens, roosting on the stretchers of his wagon, apparently up_ concerned. They were found to be Mr. Isen berg's chickens beyond a doubt. There is some stick in those fellows. We have never heard of anything to surpass them except Har risburg Roostet s. A little chap, a five year old, visited a fam ily, a short time ago, and when dinner was not announced, on Sunday, at the usual hour, be reminded his mother that he was hungry. A plate of water trackers were set before him, by the hostess, and he sat munching erackers for a few minutes, when a bright idea striking him, he looked up innocently, at his mother, and said "Mamma, the next time we go away I will put some butter and a knife in my pock et to spread my crackers I" It is needless to say the butter and knife were produced amid considerable merriment at the ingeniousness of the suggestion. • Oa last Thursday evening Mrs. John Cun ningham gave her infant—a very large, healthy boy, the pet of the household—the usual dose of laudanum for some slight affliction, with which he had been suffering, for several days before retiring. The dose appears to have been the dregs of a bottle. The mother did not notice any peculiar change in the conduct of the child until an hour after the adminis tration of the dose, when it fell into a stupor; the neighbors were called in and D:s. Miller and Brumbaugh, but all efforts to arouse the little one were futile, and it expired about six hours afterwards. It was the merest accident in the world, and no reflection can be cast upon the loving and greatly afflicted mother. We deeply sympathize with the parents in their untimely bereavement.

'Tis there the pratics grow As big as Yankee squashes, And eatmale cakes, you know, Bake swately in the ashes. There bonnie pigs abound, Widin each shanty corner, And whisky swats is found,— OA! that's the gizzard warmer. The pride of Arin's soil, The shamrock and the roses, Would quite the picture shpoil, Widout the mate snub-noses. Around each cabin dare, In groups of tens and dozens, The flays assimble shure To greet their bed-lug cousins. l'pon the grassy flare, At eventide they gather, And bloody sehames mature, Devised by hoary fathers. Let Yankees wildly bout, Of bliss that knows no aquel Their spouting all is lost, show you in the sagas!. Their joy can nicer rise So high this side the ocean; And Pat will ne*er disguise Ills dape unfeigned devotion. COURT PROCEEDINGS.—The sentences pronounced on last Monday were as follows James Shafer, convicted of fornication and bastardy, had pronounced upon him the sen tence usual in such cases. George D. Metz, convicted of keeping a nuisance in the public highway, was fined $l, and sentenced to pay the costs. James P. Wilson, convicted of larceny, was sentenced to pay a fine of $5 and costs, and undergo an imprisonment in the county jail for the term of six months. E. S. Jones, convicted of assault and battery, committed in the manner reported last week, was sentenced. to pay a fine of $lO and be im prisoned in the jail for thirty days. Andrew Johnston, convicted of selling liquor without license, was invited by the Court to pay a fine of $lOO and the costs. Invitation promptly accepted. Edward Carroll, a boy fifteen years of age, convicted of larceny, was ordered to be re moved to the House of Refuge, in Philadelphia, and while an inmate of that institution, to be clothed and maintained at the expense of Huntingdon county. The cases on the civil list, for the second week of the term, were mainly of an unimport ant character, and hence the mention made of them here will be brief. Aaron Putt for use of W. W. Enyeart's Executor vs. Hopewell township. This case was an appeal by defendant from the Judgment of a Justice of the Peace. A new road was to be opened and a portion of it was let to Aaron Putt to construct, Mr. Enyeart having first guaranteed that at least $5O would be paid him for his work. The road was constructed and Mr. Enyeart paid the $5O which he had guaranteed would be paid to Mr. Putt, who afterwards received from the township pay ment for the balance of his - work. This suit was brought, by Mr. Enyeart's Executor, to recover from the township the $5O which Mr. Enyeart had paid to Mr. Putt. The jury found for the plaintiff the sum of S3O. Brown k Bailey for plaintiff, Petrikin, Massey and Mc- Neil for defendant. B. M. Bill vs. L. W. Brown and L. W. Brown, Administratrix of H. L. Brown, deceased. This was a Seire Facias to revive a judgment. The dispute in this case was merely upon a point of law, which beid'g decided by the Court in plaintiff's favor, the jury, under in structions from the Court, found for plaintiff $43.86. Petrikin, Massey and McNeil for plaintiff, Speer, McMurtrie and Fleming for defendant. David Caldwell, guardian of minor children of James Welsh vs. Porter township and Al exandria borough. This was an action to re cover upon a lost baud. The township and borough, during the late war, issued a number of bonds to rai,se sufficient money to pay bounties to such men as would enlist in the army, and thus fill al) the quota of the military District which they formed. Among other bonds, the one in dispute in this case, was is sued to James Welsh, to the amount of $2OO. Afterwards, James Welsh being in the army, the bond was lost, having, as the plaintiff al leged, never been paid. The defendant plead ed payment and went to trial on the issue thus formed. The jury found for the plaintiff the sum of $308.20. Caldwell and Petrikin for plaintiff, Brown and Bailey for defendant. The borough of Huntingdon vs. Theo. 11. Cremer. This was a &ire Facia., on a muni cipal lien. Several years ago the Town Council paned an ordinance relative to the paving of the streets, providing that when any lot owner neglected to pave his sidewalk, the borough authorities might give him no tice that be was required to build the pave ment; and if he then refused to do so, the borough authorities might proceed to con struct the pavement and recover from the lot owner the cost of the pavement with 20 per cent. additional. The defendant in this case claimed that the provisions of this ordinance had not been carried out with respect to him, and that he therefore could not be held liable. But the Court adjudged that, as notice had been given defendant to build the pavement, the provisions of the ordinance were substan tially carried out and that plaintiff could re cover. Verdict for plaintiff for $46.15. Cald well and Bailey for plaintiff, Petrikin, Massey and McNeil for defendant. H. S. Wharton vs.Sheibley & Howard. Sum mons and foreign attachment. The defendants Messrs. Sheibley & Howard, becoming insol vent, removed from the county, still indebted to Mr. Wharton. Mr. Sheibley owns, or has an interest in a West Huntingdon lot which was attached, and a jury having been called and sworn in the case, found for plaintiff the sum of $169.78. Lovell and Musser for plain tiff, Speer, McMnrtrie and Fleming for defen dant. The Borough of Huntingdon vs. M. B. Mas sey Scire Facias on a municipal lien. This was a case of the same kind as the one above men tioned, in which Mr. Cremer is defendant. But as the necessary notice was not given Mr. Massey until after the borough authorities had put down the pavement, be was not held liable. Verdict for defendant. Caldwell for plaintiff. Petrikin, Massey 5; McNeil for defendant. 20.00 Jesse Shore vs. J. L. Devote. Summons in assnmpsit. Settled by agreement of parties the defendant giving judgment for costs. M. M. McNeil vs. Mary Dopp. &ire Farina on a mechanics' lien. N. B. Heim built a frame, house for defendant at the upper end of Fifth street, Huntingdon, and entered a Me chanics' Lien to secure the amoun the claimed for his work and materials and afterwares as signed his claim to Mr. McNeil. The defen dant alleged that the building was construct ed of such bad materials, altogether so defec tive, that aside from being worth much less than was claimed for it, she had sustained con siderable damage by way of injury to her fur niture. She therefore claimed that she should be allowed an offset against the amount of the claim. And she would probably have obtain ed this, if the preponderance of the testimony on the part of the plaintiff had not seemed to show that, before taking an assignment of the 04% Ur. McNiel had Called en defendant in reference to the . matter, WhQ told him that the claim, "was all right." A considerable effort was made by the parties to t he suit and the result was 4 verdict for plaintiff for the amount of the claim i4terest $O3. J, S. corqman vs. 4. L. qu...

Mr. Cornman being an accommodatinggentle man complied the with request, and after send ing the speech forth to the public, requested that Mr. Guss would pay him for so doing at the usual rates for advertising which that gentleman respeOfully declined doing.

FROM "MY MARYLAND." EiAIiFOILD COUNTY, 4D., Jan. 2, 1874 • EDITOR JocasaL :—An old friend called .to see us to-day. How his coming has gladden ed our heart and brightened our home. It does us good to look into his friendly face again. Almost the first words lie said to us, were, "A Happy New Year." He occupies a chair by our side as we write. He is older than when we last saw him, but the same merry twinkle is in his eye, and the same old laugh is upon his face. When we firstlnet him, we do not uow re member. He came, in our boyhood, to visit our own "sweet home." lie was then always a welcome visitor, and how attentively we listened while he talked to the older members of the family. He always had so much to tell us of men and things, and many a hearty laugh have we had over some of his quaint stories. Some times he 'would make us cry, for he would tell us of some dear friend who, living miles away, bad gone farther away, gone into "The Shadowy Land." When visiting our old home, in the days of our boyhood, this friend was in all the vigor of stalwart manhood, and that was many years ago. He is much older now. Then he would travel twenty miles to visit us. How very far that seemed to us then. He has traveled ma ny times twenty miles to be with us to-night. Yet he complains not of weariness, so free is he from all the infirmities of age, so cheery in heart, so sound in health. We may say of him as was said of the old Jewish Lawgiver, "His eye is not dim nor his natural force abated." Instead of growing weak as the years thicken upon him, he has been growing ripe in wis dom and experience. 'Tis said, "The heart has memories that never die." The rough rubs of the world can not obliterate them. They are memories of home—of early home—the time of gay dreams, and sunny hours; and cloudless skies. How the visit of this dear old friend freshens these home-memories 1 Ile comes right from .our old Huntingdon county home to our new home in Harford. As we listen to all he tells of home and friends, what recollections of our boyhood, spent among the dear old Hunting don county hills, crowd our brain: He, as be talks, takes us back, through the years that are gone, to our old home where "every room has a thousand memories" and "every door and window is clustered with associations." As he carries us back to the home of our in fancy, after long years of absence, "faces look out upon us, and an invisible multitude stand in gate and portal to welcome us, and we hear airy voices speaking again the old words of our childhood." Years have come and gone since we first went out from the home of our boyhood.— What changes these years have witnessed. Changes, "crashing like tornadoes," have swept over us since then. We left our borne in response to the first call of the President for ".Three Hundred Thousand." Another went out from the same home in answer to the call for "Three Hundred Thousand More." In the quiet church-yard of our native village, " Where the rude torefathera of the hamlet deep, a plain marble slab tells where and bow he fell, •' Rest thee, there is no prouder my., Even in thine uu•n proud glints." We left home and friends a second time in response to the call of "The Prince of Peace." Engaged in His work, here we are in a quiet town in "My Maryland." And to our Mary land home, this dear old friend of ourboyhood has come with news from home. Do you won der, then, that ive give him so joyous a wel come ? Tis sweet to greet so dear a friend. We are pleased, too, to learn from his conver. nation that he still loves his country and his country's gag. Igor have we forgotten his visits to us, when we lay on Potomac's banks, a poor invalid, nor shall we soon forget his words of encouragement in those dark hours. The old friend who visited our boyhood's home—who cheered us in hospital and in field —shall have a double welcome to our Ilarford home. But I have almost forgotten to tell you our visitor's name. You know him well, lie is "Tag HUNTINGDON JOURNAL," Long may he live Co cheer us with his visits. F. FROM TLIION WALLET Timov WALLEY 4781 , Shinawary 23 .

EDITOR :-As I know that you take an interest in the progress of our Common Schools I beg room, in your columns, for some thoughts that have been clamoring for utterance, for some time. They have refer ence to irregular attendence at school. There is perhaps no more fatal hinderence to the advancement of children, in their studies, than the one we have named. - It is impossi ble for any teacher to awaken and sustain a proper interest in the minds of children who are sent irregularly to school. The practice of sending children in this way, not only has a strong tendency to make superficial scholars, but it is likewise very discouraging to the teacher. What can be more disheartening, to the true teacher, than to feel that his best di rected efforts must inevitably result in failure through want of co-operation on the part of parents? I need not argue this however, at length, for it is self evident to every reflecting 'mind, and has been the burden of complaint in every State Superintendent's report for years. What most concerns us is the cause of the evil and the remedy. That children are sometimes retain,l at home on account of ill health, I readily ad mit, and I am far from finding fault with any parent for so doing; but the principal cause, I allege, is indifference on the part of parents. To. illustrate : l have a friend who is in easy and very comfortable circumstances. Ile has bat a small family, and yet he fails to provide for them such an education as our Common Schools afford. You ask, "does he not love his children ?" Yes, he provides for them plenty of good food and comfottable clothing, nor can lie be called miserly, for he purchas ed a good instrument and provides the neces sary teacher that they may learn to play music ' • nor is he very lazy, for lie has been known to take his horse and carriage and drive several miles, two or three times a week, to accommodate his teacher of music, aad more than this, he attends, carefully, to the wants of his cows and horses, and lie even prides himself on raising fine large hogs; lie will also travel a goodly number of times, through the bramble and over the rocks of a neighboring mountain, for the sake of a tur key. Ido not mean any reflection on my friend as a marksman, for those pesky turkeys won't hold still, and hen his fowling piece is used so much that, no doubt, it is often not in prime order; but more than this, to prove that my friend is not lazy, I will inform you that he will traverse valleys and 'scale moun tains, for the sake of a pint of the delicious nectar distilled by the little busy bee, in one of his neighbors hollow treed; and yet, when the walking is bad or the weather unclement, he will not put himself to the slightest incon venience, to get his children to school. Some one asks "why is your friend thus indifferent." I reply lie reasons, thus : "My ancestors did not have very much education, and did not make any great stir in the world, but they were honest, industrious, useful, and respect ed citizens, and as for myself, I have followed pretty closely in their footsteps; my chil dren can do the same, besides I notice many young men, that have been expensively edu cated, who are immoral, lazy, and profligate, and many-young ladies, also, who have enjoyed like advantages, who are nothing better than mere dolls of fashion, and I will not put my self to any particular trouble to procure, for my children, an education that they are per haps better without." My friend forgets, however, that the abuse of a thing is no ar gument against its proper use, and, if he were but to give to his mental vision, a wider range, he would discover that in dooming his chil dren to a life of ignorance, he shuts up for them the principal avenues to usefulness. Who, I ask, have lived to the best purpose, in this world and partly earned the title to ben efactors of their race ?. Certainly not the un educated. Education justly claims for its friends the wise and good of all ages, and they who have enjoyed the most of its advan tages are the one's that prize it most highly. There are no pleasures so refined, and enjoy ments so exquisite, as them ;lowing from a pure heart aid a well cultivated mind. The. man who does not enjoy the society of virtuous And intelligent females, mast be dead to all the finer feelings of human nature. There is no position in life, in which virtue andintelli genee is more requisite, than in that of the mother, for no trust can be more sacred. To the Christian mother is committed, not only the usefulness and happiness of her children, for time, but it is in a great measure by her watchful care, that these tender plants must be trained to blooni in the paradise above. - 1 do not state the case too strongly when I say that every parent, who performs his duty aright to his children, must educate them. It is a solemn duty he owes to his children, to his country, and to his God, and lie can only neglect it at his peril. Let this suffice for the present. Is my next letter I design noticing how the evil of irregular attendanee my be remedied, to some extent, at least. .

EDITOR Jotaxm.:—lt is a matter of great gratification to the people of Cassville, and no doubt will be to the readeri of the JOURNAL, to know that we have a first•elass Brass Band here, composed of sober, intelligent and mor al members, who now hold themselves in rea diness to favor the public with the choicest of music. For some time, owing to the scarcity of re munerative employment in this place, some of the members would leave, but through the encouragement of the citizens and the energy of the senior members, their ranks were filled with boys whose rapidity in learning has as• tonished all. Too much praise cannot be be stowed upon our talented Doctor, W. A. liinchman, for the interest he has taken in the band, untiring in his teachings, ready at all times to encourage and to contribute means for its advancement. For some time past they have employed Prof. 11. W. Batcheller, of New York. So marked has been their im provement with his teaching, and so indus trious that his efforts his ability and gen tleman ly deportment have won the admiration of all, and ere Ile leaves here they will be able to execute with credit to their teacher, to Cass rifle and all who may wish theirservices. The band has been giving entertainments and concerts, consisting of instrumental and vocal music. Prof. Batcheller, with his col lection of cornet solos, negro delineations, Irish and German comedy, plays, farces, etc., assisted by a company of gentlemen who have kindly volunteered their services in behalf of the band, have given concerts to help defray expenses naturally accruing from the employ ment of a teacher. N. A. PROM MOUNT UNION. MT. UNION, PA., January 24, 1874, EDITOR JOURNAL-Dear Sir see Demo crat from Barree, has been commenting some on the "last new departure" of the Poer Di rectors in regard to setting aside their former appointment of Stewaid, and continuing John Logan. This has been a grand piece of usur pation; an set that meets the disaprobation of all honest men, irrespective of party, and is as loudly condemned by honest Democrats as by Republicans. Did not the Act of Assembly passed last winter state that the appointment of Steward and other Poor House officers should take plate at the first meeting of the Directors after the Lull election, and that said Directors should only meet once every alternate month? The Directors complied with the require ments of this act when they met in Decem ber and elected Mr. Harmon as Steward fur on., year, and most positively violated its provisions when they met on the 14th, inst., and annulled their tormer appointment, and this, too, on a day of meeting not appointed by law. Hr. Hyper was aware of the illegality of the proceedings or why did he refuse to meet with the other Directors? Perhaps Mr. Richardson may plead ignorant on the ground of having imbibed too freely of "local option." How much his body was on the outside of when he arrived here, we are unable to say, but think Mr. Mauls can certify to his leav ing this with a pint, which was freely "passed around" on the cars between this and Shir leysburg. A noble (?) guardian of the poor, surely. Of Mr. Horning we have nothing to say, but leave him to' his own reflections. Yours, &e., 112ERARY DEPARTHENT. A, 13: BRUMBAIIGII, M. D., Editor.

In bringing these "Notes" to the notice of our readers, we can as-ore them that the author's views are entirely orthodox. His previous works, and especially his "Exposition of the Gospels and Acts," have gained for him such a reputation as a com mentator, that the announcement of a new book by him is a guarantee of its worth, and bespeaks for him a cordial welcome. These Notes at, not only valuable as being full and satisfactory explana tions of this book (Exodus) of the Old Testament Scriptures, bat arc extremely appropriate at this time, as the International Sabbath Sohool Lessons, accepted una adopted by nearly all the Sunday Schools of the country, have token up the Exodus of the Israelites with the beginning of the now year, and this cannot fail to be the very help need ed by ministers. superintendents, parents, teachers and pupils in the. study of these lessons, making them intelligible, interesting and practical. Atlantic Monthly, for February, contains articles by Robert Dale Owen, T. B. Aldrich, H. James, jr., John O. Whittier, William J. Armstrong, Charles Dudley Warner, W. M. Baker, Theodore LyMan and ot hers ; atenit by 1 4 ncy Lneeotn, W. W. Harney, Celia Thaxter, J. T. Trowbridge, and Dr. Oliver Wendell nolmes, who oontributes a Ballad of the Boston Tea Party, of which we quote the closing lines. • "The waves that wrought a country's wreck Bare rolled o'er whig and tory— The Mohawks on the Dartmouth's deck Still live in song and story; The waters in the Rebel Bay liars kept the tea leaf stiv,,— Our old North-Enders in their spray Still taste a Ilysen flavor; And Freedom's teacup still o'craows With ever fresh libations, To cheat of slumber all her foes And °hoer the wakening nations!" Harper's Jlaysine, fur Febrnary, is unusually varied and entertaining. The "Legends of the Cascades"—a handsomely illustrated poem with which the number opens—gives a rendering of one of the grandest of Indian traditions, and is very appropriately published in theJannary num ber, with the illustrated paper of Mr. :lording!' on the Columbia River and Puget Sound, to which the tradition relates. The jiver on Pottery and Porcelain will be found full of nova and interest ing information. Vvery department of Harper is complete and interesting, cud fully np to its stand oral of excellence. Scribner's Monthly, also, opens with a profusely illustrated poem, "lAisliyasr;iiga," a talc of the "Maliabbarata," by Clarn Ifilgard Tittman, and it somewhat after the style of Longfellow's WeWhtlit , , It commences "In the land of India, In the 13,vanteons land of Anga, Lived a king of many virtues, Lived the wise king Lomapada ; And this king, renowned and honored, Once upon a time was wrathful, And he emote a holy Ilra.'onin, Smote a saintly man of prayers, Struck him with his kingly hand." Notelone this poem, but every article in this num ber is exceedingly interesting. It contains the second of ttie papers entitled'•Glimpses of Texas," which comprise a part of the series—" The Great South" commenced a few months ago. Lipp incote Magazine, for February, contains the first installment of the long promised serial story, Malcolm, by George MacDonald. This is designed to be one of the author's very best stories, and is brimful of line Sceth humor, stiring and captiva ting. The singularly original and suggestive illus trations of Dore, in the "New Hyperion" adds in terest to the continuation of these papers. This number contains an Eastern poem "Kismet" which willcommand universal attention. Wehave not the space to refer to all toe articles of this bril liant number. but commend it to the attention of all readers of refined taste, and good judgment. We gladly welcome back to our table, our old friend.
