J*Aceir Fry", the very worthy )i.idtnr df-{ho English Lutheran Church of this place is -about to bid farewell to his oon ii'rcgation, having aooeptod a call from the TKuglish Lutheran Church at Heading, Pa.— !>lr. Far came among us in February, 1854, nf which time he had just completed his'ool dcgiato studies in the Theological Seminary •: t Gettysburg, Pa. The pulpit of tho Lulh •fr,;n Church then-being unoccupied, he ro a call, like other ministers, to preach '■ " S ,V P°I to tho congregation while tho va existed., Having just entered upon his ministerial career, and having no pasto .barge, bo was at once elected end duly im plied by tbs congregation ns their pastor. .Though young in years, ho gave promise to V rwmo ono of the shining lights in the Lu '•an ’-Church, which promise,, wo are happy , to say, has already been fulfilled, for to-day ■ ■■'ir. Fav, as a minister of the gospel, stands high upon the record in the Church of God. ; P-,.;c0 ho entered upon his pastoral duties in ■ llus Church he has labored zealously to in crease the number of his flock, and he con ■ now boast of having tho largest congregation .Kivtho town, and a Church in a most flonrish eng,condition. Being a profound thinker, a, -W'lrfliy disciple in tho cause of Christ,-and a clever and Christian gentleman, ho was much beloved by his congregation, and universally admired by all wJfceknow him. It will be a c ..rmlt-matter to secure another-so good .and •worthy -to-take his place. While we sympa , .thfie with his people here in being, deprived \'ifl 4m services, wo wish to congratulate the ■Vongvegation at Heading, upon their good fortune in securing him-as their pastor. In c inclusion we extend to him the hope that his future labors, wherever they may bo, may meet with the sanm success, as those which hebas just closed, an'd that he may bow his -.;vray up to higher and brighter honors in tho of his Church. .

J.ti.juiera licenses o 470 qo ,rooms, & AVe repeat, then, that 54 is a fact that far mers, as a class, hold what they have Tor sale at about fair rates. Their profits are not too largo, considering all things. Wo wish wo could say ns much for paper-makers, manufacturers, dealers in foreign and domestic goods, rail-roads, and mammoth corporations. These are the gentlemen who are skinmngthe people aliye; it is not the farmer. A tanner mentioned to us a few days ago that his taxes were enormous—sev eral thousand dollars. Ha was whining about it. Wo told him ha was mistaken, and that ho did not pay one cent of tax, bat that the poor man, who wants shoes' for his family, paid it for him. This is a fact that every man knows. It is not the manufac turer, but the consumer who pays the tax. Tax any manufneturl, d make senhvnto terms of peace for tbem gelvos, and if such a susp o’on, however un founded, wore once engendered noinog our own people, it would lie destructive „(' i| m t spirit of natural confidence and support which forms our chief reliance for success in the maintenance of onr cause. When die proposal of separate'State action'was lin t mooted, it appeared to lie so’impracticable, so void of any promise ot good, dint -h, gave no heed to dm proposal., lint upon its adnn tion hy citizens whoso posidons and ability give weight to tile expression of their opin ions, I was led to a serious consideration of the subject. My first impressions have -not horn changed hy reflection. If nil the States of the twu Inis tils Icdsratnnis were to meet in o invention, it is plain that such a meeting can -only take place after *ivn ngvoemoiit m ■to the Ihno, -p!ftco,it»nH terms oWvhicli they are to an eat. . 1 Now,-without discussing tho, minor, though ■not trifling difficulties of agreeing as to tho •: 'time and-place, it is certain that the States • would novel-consent to a convention without n previous ngreomltlit na ’to the terms on ■-which they were *tb bicet. Tho piopnsed convention must moot-on Ilio basis .either thftt no State should, against its own will bo bound by tho delusion of 'file convention - Or tlmt it should be so bound. But ifc is ’plain' that an agreement on the bfcala tlmtWState should be bound, without its consent,.by tho result ‘of ‘the .deliberations, would be an abandonment on the part of tho North of its pretended right of coercion, would bo an n,b-' solute recognition of the independence of the several States of tho Confederacy, would be, in a word go. complete a concession of the riglitfHlness of our cause, that the most vis ionary cannot’hope for such un agreement in advance of tho meeting of a convention. Iho only other possible basis of meeting is that each State should agree beforehand to bo hound by the decision’ of the convention. And rudi agreement is hut nnof'hcrTorm'of frubimsHion to northern dominion, as wo well know that in such >v convention we shoulc bo nntnnmbercd nearly hvo.'to oire.- o*n. the very threshold of the scheme Proposed, there fore, wo are mot by nn um.taclo which cannot *bc’removed. Is not the, i m prnc ti cable '-eh ai--- Peter o'FlliC project apparent ?’ You will oh that I leave entirely out of view the sugges tion that a convention of nirtWStatesof both fede: atjons should be hold by common.con .‘•eiit, without any previous understanding as to the effect of its meet - mereiy to debate and pass resolutions tlmt are to bind no one. It is not supposed that 1 this can really be tho mcaningattacliod to tho proposal by those who are active in its support, although the resolutions to which you invito my attention declare that the functions of such a conven tion would be simply to propose a plan of peace, v ith the consent of tho two belligerents, or, in other words, to act as negotiators in treating for pence. This part of the ojhemo is not intelligible to me. If the convention is only to .be held with the consent of the two belligerents, that consent cannot bo obtained without negotiation. Ihoplap then \yould revolve itself into a scheme that'the two Gov- should negotiate nh agreement for the appointment of negotiators fo make pro posals for a treaty. It seems much more' prompt and simple to negotiate for peace af* once than-to negotiate for the appointjnentnf. .negotiators who are to .meet without power to ; do anything but make proposals. ■ A lucb tJOAimEL. —The strong-minded wo ■‘meri of Washington arc quarrelling about tlie ‘control of destitute colored women arid chil- dren in thatoity. Al.fche mooting recently, Mrs. Swisshelm. alleged that Miss Mann is too severe with tho children, kept them making patoh-workf quilts to be sent to Bos ton, that tho "hub" might sod, whait.a fine school Miss Mann is conducting. Mrs. Breed called Mrs, Swisshelm to order, whereupon tho latter turned upon Mrs. Breed and,almost defied her to single combat, winding up, with tho remark that tho Government had at a largo expense fitted the homo fur indigent colored women and children, but''instead of their being permitfed to enjoy tho luxury of such a borne, they are excluded from this pal atial residence arid turned into Kovels, in or der that Miss Maria Mann, with hot compa ny- might enjoy tho parlors. Miss Coleman also raadeserious and specific charges against Miss Mann relative to her treatment of the little black boys, and matters and things were so dreadful, that before adjoprnig a commit tee was -oliosou to investigate Miss Mann’s conduct and report.. Evidently “The Nation al Association” is not harmonious, and'the ladies are jealous about the picoabmnios con fined.to their care.

Teachers always say they dread smooth ice and pleasent Weather. Lessons are neglected, and the winds of their pupil go off skating during school hours j and not a few mothers have had reason to eomplain that their daughters found the skating pond too attractive for the performance of homo duties. Some care is noedoil to prevent inju ry to health from tills exorcise.'- Physicians report a large increase in some diseases dur tlie winter, since skating has come into fash ion. Avoid great exertion, as in. racing, by which tho body becomes heated, and then suddenly cooled by the'keen air When the 1 exercise is over. Never sit down dut of doors! ti “cool off.”- A friend of the writer nearly, lost his Ufo from this, cause, and is yet sub ject to a troublesome throat disease. Keep the mouth closed while skating. Cold air freely taken into the lungs while a person is exorcising Violently, may produce sudden and serious illness. No sensible boy or girl will under any circumstances endanger life by venturing into known danger to show bra very. It is. foolhardy, not bravo, tci »kate over thin ico, daring others to follow, or to go because others have given the challenge— Keep your courage to face necessary evil'and be bravo enough to bear foolish taunts.
