Bnow to the depth of two inches feel here on Monday night, By noon, on Tuesday moat of it had disappeared. These spring snows are said to ba favora ble.to the wheat and rye crops. Spring will bring its pains as' well us Its pleasures—its. folly and fun will be mingled with fretfuiness and fevers—its fay breezes be interwoven with financial flustors.- The Court of . Cheater county requires all parties remonstrating against a license to sell liquor, to appear In person and testify under oath, to facts. Gael Accepted.—Rev. Charles 8. Al bert, assistant pastor of Trinity Lutheran Cburoh of Lancaster, has received sod accepted a call to take charge of the Lutheran Church ip Carlisle, We are requested to state that the next monthly meeting of the Board of School Directors of this borough will be held on Tuesday, the 2nd day of April, at 8 o'clock. The lily of the valley is now the fash ionable flower among both fancielb and florists; and J ustly, for we read that Sol omon In all bis glory, was not arrayed like one of these. It Is said to be a curious fact that peo ple who deal In imported goods are usu ally free traders, whilst dealers in domes tic goods generally are protectionists.

Jupiter is getting in a bad way; an astronomer notices the rosy protuberance now visible on his face. Evidently Ju piter has been out too much o'oigbta. State Librarian.—Wo notice that Wien Forney, Jisq. has been removed by Gov. Geary from the office of State Li brarian, a position be has held for many years. A Rev. O. H. Miller tabes the place of Mr. Forney.' BAd to be Born.—According to an dent superstition, March is the most nm lucky month in the year* The man or ■ woman born in this month will be poor and unfaithful and condemned to woe and sorrow. Persons contemplating be ing bom will please take notios and govern themselves accordingly. Sinking Slowly.—Geologists affirm tbat the eastern shore of tbs United States is sinking into the ocean at the rate of about one-sixth of an inoh per annum, or sixteen inches every hundred years. The island of New York goes under at the rate of seventeen inches per century, - Thbusubl moving of housekeepers hat already commenced, and wagons loaded with furniture are now a common thing on our streets. This la the usual premo nitory symptoms bf the approach of the first of April. Reports from various sbotlons of our. State concur in the statement that wheat looks badly owing totho ravages of the fly last fall, and the scarcity of snow during the winter. ' Damaged by Fire.—We learn tbat oh Sunday night of last week, about half past nine o’clock, the Church of Qod, in Sblppeaeburg, came near being destroy ed by fire. The fire originated in the gas house, from a stove, and thence to the church, edifice, which was badly dam aged in the roof and back portion. The. loss is estimated at $l2OO, The ladies are highly elated over tba near approach of hnuee-oleaning time, while unfortunate Benedicts, who bay* passed through the trying ordeal on pre vious occasions, are becoming correspon dingly dejected. During this milienium of .housekeepers, the mistress of the es tablishment feels that " Sh 6 1b lord of all she surveys, Her rJgljt tbere 1b dodo to dlsputt,” and carries but this idea in all her opera tions. The Income Tax,—The assessors are distributing their bl antes for the income returns. The tax is assessed'under the aot of July 14; 18T0, which mattes it the duty.of every person of lawful age, the gross amount of whose Income, gains and profits during the year ending December 31,1871, exbeeded $2,000, to make a re turn of said gross amount to the assistant assessor of the district in which he re sides. - i “ A Keek Retort.—A citizen of a coun try town was reproached by an editor, who indulges in a “ patent outside,” for patronizing a city paper, and not encour aging home industry. ••Why," replied the citizshi "the only difference between you and I in that respect la, that I get a whole paper printed in the city while yon only get a half one.” The rumor in regard to a murder hav ing been committed In the vicinity of Nowvillo, la altogether without founda tion ; no such event having occurred In that vicinity. Almost a Fire, —Early on Tuesday morning last, smoke was discovered is suing out of the frame shop on East Pom fret street, in this borough, occupied by Charles Taylor, oabluet-maker. The fire’ originated from the stovb, and the fiames were extinguished before any damage was done. , Attempted Bobbery.— On Saturday night last, the residence of John Lyne, on Pom fret street, In this place, was en tered by burglars, Mrs. Lyne on hearing the noise, immediately gave the alarm, and the burglars decamped without car rying off any booty. Malicious • Mischief —On Sunday night some evil-disposed persons amused themselves by throwing the benches at the market house into the alley. Pity some of our police officers did not detect them in their mischief and band them over to Sheriff Foreman's-keeping for a few days. i- New Organ.—We learn that Messrs, John Q, Orr, J. H. Hosier and J. H. Graham, Jr., committee appointed by the Organ Fund Association of the Sec ond Presbyterian Church, have contrac ted with Messrs. E.-& G. Hook & Hast ings, of Boston, for .the building of an organ for the oburob, to bs completed at an early day. , Lecture.—Miss Anna E, Dickinson, the -most eloquent female orator in the country, will deliver the closing lecture of the course, on Tuesday evening, April 9, at 8 o’clock. This will be during the first week of our April Court, and will giye many of out friends from the coun try an opportunity to bear her. Ministers Unwell.—Owing to the continued illness of Bev. Mr. Leveratt- ofSt. John’s Episcopal church,.and Bev. Mr. Noroross, of the Second Presbyterian church, no regular religious services have been held la these churches Tor some weeks past. Both the Bev. gentlemen have for some time past been confined to their beds by severe Indisposition. M. E. Conference.—The East Ponn syivania.Conference of the M. E. Church was in session at Lock Haven last week. Bev. J. D. Brown and Rev. W. M. Fry singer—the clergymen of that denomina tion lately stationed in Carlisle—are both in attendance. We shall probably be en abled next week to announce the appoint ments for this district. Personal.—We are pleased .to learn that our esteemed Democratic friend, William B. Butler, Esq., was sleeted a Justice of the Peace for South Middleton township at the recent election. The people of that township have done them selves credit in electing to that office a man eo pre-emlriateiy qualified to dis charge its duties as is Mr. B. As a mag istrate be will be honest, impartial and inflexible. ■ Justice op the Peace.—Persona who were elected to the office of Justice of the Peace, at the recent spring election, are required by law to give written notice to the.Prothouotary, within thirty days, of their acceptance of said office. In this written notice it would be well for them to state whether or not they ' have been elected to fill a vacancy; and if so, how that vacancy occurred—as this Informa tion is Important in order to enable the J uetices to secure their commisaiona. The base ball season la at.band and the various clubs throughout the country are reorganizing and adding strength to their nines dally. Why cannot Carlisle have a ■ flret-olase nine 7 Wo know that; the material is .here if it is only taken advantage of. Let ue have the champi on club of the Valley. Preeminence in base bail playing is on evidence at least ofjthe vitality of the town, besides which it is a manly and invigorating pastime.— Young men who engage in this innocent recreation are generally noted for their morality and good conduct. Change op Position.—On Monday next, the Ist proximo, Mr. John Hail', now Of the Pennsylvania Hotel, will take possession of the American House, now occupied by Mr. W. E. Kama, Mr. Hall la known as a clever, obliging and efficient landlord, and we do not doubt tbat under his management the old “ American” will continue to prosper.— Mr. David H, Gill will succeed Mr, Hall In the proprietorship of the Pennsylva nia Hotel. The latter gentleman Is fa vorably known to this community as a publican, he having formerly acted in tbat capacity for a number of years, when he “won golden opinions from ail sorts of men." Resigned.—Wo are sorry to learn that Rev. Dr. Dasbiell, President of Dickin son College, has resigned the 'presidency of that institution, to take effect In June next, to enable him to take charge of the Presiding Eldership of the Jersey District. The true friends of the College will regret this resignation, as the rever end gentleman has done much to pro mote the interests of the College. During hie residence here, Dr. D., by his courte ous manners, and Christian atMbility, has gained for himself many warm friends, wbo'will part with him with re gret. Count? Superintendent.— We see by an advertisement of the present Su perintendent, that the Triennial Conven- tion for the election of the Superinten dent of Common Schools will assemble, at the Court House, in Carlisle, on Tues day, the 7th day of May next, at 1 o’- clock, P. M. The members of our sever al school boards throughout the county should bear in mind that it is tht pres ent directors, and not the ones obostn at the recent eleotlou, who are to vote for the County Superintendent at the Con vention la may next. Aa the new boards do not organize until June, of course they have nothing to do with the settlement of this question. Good Friday.— To-morrow will be Good Friday, and will be observed with peculiar solemnity by the great body of the Reman Catholics, Episcopalians, and perhaps some other denominations of Christians. The Friday before Easter, held saorod as the commemoration of the oruolflxlon of our Lord, was kept as a day of mourning and special prayer from a very early period. It was one of the paschal days celebrated by the early Christian church, and In memory of the crucifixion was called by the Greeks the “Pasoh of the Cross.” In the Roman Catholic church the services of the day are very peculiar, and in the Episcopal church Good Frlday la’ also celebrated with special solemnity. Be-union op Company a., 180th Bechm't. Pennsylvania Volunteers. —The members of this Company met at Karns’ Hotel, in this borough', on Fri day evening last, for the purpose of farm ing a permanent organization. Aft*r comparing opinions, the organization was completed as fallows: President—Capt, William M. Potter, Secretary—Charles A. Smith. Treasurer—William Vance. Chaplain—Kev. Mr. Common The President, Secretary, and Trea surer, together with George Thayer and Blake Blsaol, to constitute on Executive Committee, The Company then proceeded to the dining-room to partake of the bountiful repast prepared for the occasion. Capt. Porter occupied the head of the table, with J. B. Bratton of the Volunteer on his right, and J. M. Wallace of the Ber-. aid, (Invited guests,) on hie left. After doing ample justice to the most excellent supper, the Company again assembled in the gentlemen’s parlor, where senti- ments were offered and the battles of the Company fougbtoveragaln. In response to a complimentary toast, Capt. Porter— who bad command of the Company dur ing its whole time of service—delivered a well-timed and very interesting address, to the great edification of all present.-?- Speeches were also made by John Hays, John B. Bratton and John M. Wallace, and toasts drank by the entire company to Patrick Madden, who distinguished himself as flag-heater of the Company, and .Orderly-Sergeant Thaye'r, for his ef. Orient services os an .officer. It was a moat interesting meeting, and will long be remembered by all who were preterit. A meeting of the Company will be held on the nth of Augus^annually. Town Council.—The now Town Council for this borough met in the Council Chamber on the evening of tbo 21st inat., and organized for the ensuing year by electing George Sheaffer Presi dent and Andrew Wetzel Secretary— The following appointments were then made : High OanetaSle—Jesse Burner. lax Collector—3. Fletcher Yengst. Clerk of Markete— James Basket. Ireasurer— Joseph. W. Ogilby. Street Commissioner— James Black. Street Regulators— John Plank, Sam'l Wetzel, Jr., Henry Myers. Lamp-. lAghtere— George Myers (W. Ward;) Samuel Brown (B. Ward.) George Taylor was continued as Jani tor. . Now that the appointments are made and everything in working order, we do hope that the new Borough Fathers will see to it that the streets and alleys be speedily cleaned and kept clean, No man should be permitted-to keep lumber or other obstructions upon the sidewalks to the annoysnee of the neighborhood and danger of pedestrians. Another Fire—Afore Incendiarism. On Wednesday night, the 20th Inst., between the hours of nine l and ten o’clock, we were again startled by the dry of Are, On proceeding to the spot, We found the flames issuing from the frame stable situate on an alley in the tear of. South Hanover street, and in the immediate'vicinity of the public grave yard. The building was soon consumed, but by the uniting exertions of our no ble firemen the surrounding stables were saved. As th? wind was very high, it was feared that the flames or sparks from the burning building would have endangered more valuable property.— The lot on which the stable' was situated belongs to Mia. Washmood, and the house fronting on the street bad recently been vacated by Mr. Parker Moore. , This Are was undoubtedly the work of an Incendiary, os every indication war rants the conclusion. One of the finest entertainments of the season was the supper given on Thurs day evening of last week, in Rbeem’a Hall, for the benefit of the Y. M. C, A.— Arrangements complete in eqery partic ular, tables covered with an abundance of everything necessary to justify the name of a grand supper, it was not a dif ficult matter for all who partook to eat, drink and be satisfied. We are sorry tbat tho stormy weather prevented many from enjoying the entertainment and tbat the receipts were thus lessened causing the result, in a pecuniary way, to fall below the expectations indulged.— The net proceeds amounted to $260. We have received the following bard from the Association, which we here in sert: The Young Men’ a Christian Associa tion of Carlisle would return tbeii heart iest thanks to the kind friends in town and country who contributed so abund antly to their latb supper, and to the laj dies of the Committee of Arrangements, whose untiring efforts and exertions oali forth the warmest feelings of grati tude from the Association, who. trust tbat the encouragement thus given to the cause, and the pecuniary assistance received, will enable them to enlarge and increase their field of usefulness and con tinue their work of good. Dr. Swartz on Divobcb.—our former townsman, the Rev. Joel Swartz, has re cently delivered an eloquent lecture on marriage and divorce at Williamsport, Pa., which Is highly spoken of by the papers of that city. The Standard says: On Sunday evening Rev. Dr. Swartz, at the Academy of Music, delivend a fine discourse on marriage and divorce, the speaker taking strong grounds for the evangelical doctrine of the sanctity of marriage and the turpitude of the mod ern laxity la the matter of divorce. - The recent movements in Eastern circles against the snored laws of marriage call for earnest denunciation, and it is a grat ifying fact when ministers of the ability of Dr, Swartz plant themselves square against the advancing evil and combat it with all their might. Very Peculiar Weather.— We had all sorts'of weather on Saturday—snow storms and sunshine alternately, a friend informs us that Satiiarday brought us the nineteenth snow storm of the sea son- This ia'probably the fact; but their uaited amount of the fleecy element did not furnish material enough for an old fashioned sleigh ride. But “we are tired waiting—waiting for the Spring.” Specie.— We were gratmeo as well as surprised when, a few days since, we presented a check at the counter of the Carlisle Bank for five dollars, to have it cashed In specie—tea sliver half-dollars. If all-the banks oouldj be Induced to be thus liberal, and pay out silver la small quantities, we would soon have specie payments without any action of Con gress. Local Advertising.—A desirable ar- ticle may bring a bidder for miles, and an extra bidder may make a difference of many dollars In receipts. This Is where the profits from advertising come In, and those who do not take the advantage of this, are likely to be fearful losers. When you make public sales you must adver tise so tbat the entire community will see and became interested la everything you offer for sale. This 1s the way to be successful and get good, profitable bid ders, Tub Hcuceppe Case.— The following brief article, from the Lancaster Intelli gencer, is to the point, and will meet the approbation of every Imprejudloed man in this community: A bill granting Paul Bohmppe a near trial has passed tbs. Senate, and been fa vorably reported from the House com mittee, while there Is an abiding ,odn vlotlon of the guilt of Bobcappe In the community where he was tried, there seems to be a belief exlstlogtn the minds of many people throughout the State that the tacts elicited In the trial did not war rant a conviction. If the prisoner Is tried again, and again convicted, there will be -an universal assent to the ver dict. Wo did not believe In th» propri ety of legislative interference In such cases, however, and grave doubts about the propriety of passing such an act might present themselves to any intelli gent legislator. ’ A Late Spring.—As a general thing farmers have heretofore been able to have much of their Spring work done before the middle of March ; but this year the weather has been so cold and the ground frozen so bard, that not an acre of It In this county has yet been plowed. It can. not now be expected that much out-door work will be done before the first of April, and no oats will be “sown before that date. To secure insertion In this paper, all communications must be accompanied by the real name of the writer, lor pri vate information of the editor. The, Harrisburg Journal says many of the fat cattle slaughtered by the butchers. of that city are. purchased from the far mers of this county. Eyesight Restored by Accident. —The Harrisburg Patriot of Tuesday last, says: Several years ago a colored woman of this city was deprived of the use of one of her eyes. She could not distinguish any object with the impaired optic until a few days ago, when she became annoyed at an excresence that had protruded from the eyelid, and pulling at it a film was drawn from the surface of the member full of small roots, after which she saw as well as ever. - The Legislature has passed an act ex tending the provisions of on act entitled “an sot reiatlng to committing magls strates of Lebanon, Dauphin, Adams and Franklin Counties," approved March 26, 1869, to the counties of York, Cumber* land, Perry and Columbia, This law provides “that is shall be the duty of ail committing magistrates In the above named counties, upon complaint being made on oath or affirmation of any person 'or persons, to enter such com* plaint upon their criminal dockets, with the name, residence and occupation, if any, of ail defendants, ball aud witnes ses in every criminal case, and to return to the District Attorney of said counties a true transcript from said docket, with in five days after the binding over or committal of any defendant or defen- I dants charged with felony, or any other I criminal offence; and any wilful violation lof the requirements of this section is hereby declared a misdemeanor in office, and on conviction thereof, the party so offending shall be fined in a sum not ex ceeding five hundred dollars,’’ This law does not interfere with the power of Justices in the settlement of cases of misdemeanor, but only requires them to make their returns by letter or otherwise to the District Attorney In or der that be may be enabled to prepare the indictments and have them ail ready on the first day of Court, to lay before the Qrand Jury, and thus facilitate the business, and save costs for the county and parties. Burglary.—M. M. Angel’s grocery store, on Main street, on Wednesday nlgbt, or at any early hour the follow ing morning, was entered in a burgla rious manner, and therefrom taken three sacks of flour, two boxes of segars, a shoulder ’ of meat', coffee, sugar, &0., to the value of $2O. The cash drawer was also broken open, and ,pilfered of about $6 in silver. The marauders opened the front door with a key, and after satisfy ing their thievish desires, departed, leaving the. door unlocked. The parties concerned in the theft had better not be too free with their stolen, silver.—Ship pemburg Nevis. Life Without ■ Labor.—We have many trampera roaming through our county of whom we doubt hot could be told the same story as that of one of the gang, who, on being arrested recently,, candidly acknowledged that be had nev er done a day's work In his life, although he was 41 years of age. After traveling through the greater portion of Europe as a professional beggar, he came to Amer ica several years ago, where he has since pursued his vocation with varying suc cess. He boasts of having obtained much valuable information regarding.the sea-, tion bouses and jails of every bounty be has visited. Going for the Grecian,—We dare not say it, but a friend does, that the Grecian Bend, which is the proper des ignation for the uncouth appearance of so mahy ladies now-a-days—has become intensely popularwith nearly ail classes of feminines. It is ugly enough to at tract the attention of the passer-by—an object evidently, aimed at by the wearer Until reoently-we have been led to sup pose that; thik gross.' djsfigurement of pretty either been totally abandoned, of would be indulged In by a few ofltbeextremlß(s,oply, but it appears that we were fafstaken, TashlosThas waved her potent sceptre, and .her dovo-. tees bend in humble acquiesenoe to iler mandates. Fire.—The dwelling bouse and out buildings of Joslab Espy, in Madison township. Ibis county, were destroyed by firs on lost Friday morning. Mr. J. Comp, occupied the promises and lost all bla farming Implements, furniture and some grain and bay, and also about $2OO in money. Mr. Jacob Bench, who in tended moving in on the" Ist of next month, also lost some farming imple ments be had already placed upon the premises. Do not know the origin of the fire or whether the property was In sured.—Firry Democrat. Pasting Legal Tenders.—The Uni ted States Treasurer states that, as frauds might be committed by pasting together, lu the semblance of a note, fragments of dlflerent notes, the remaining portions of which might be redeemable in full un der the rules, It was thought beet, for the protection of the Assistant Treasurers and depositaries, that all- notes, consist ing of pieces, each less than three fifths of the original proportions of a note, should be redeemed only at Washington, after examination by the experts of the Treasurer's office. If any fragment of a torn note .equals or exceeds three fifths of the original proportions of the note, United States depositaries are, under the rules, authorized to redeem them. Robbery at Loysvible.— On Wed nesday night last, the post office at Loys vlllo was entered by some persons and $4O worth of stamps and a package of money and a check, In nil amounting to two hundred and five dollars weraatolen. The money 'and check was not post of fice matter,but bad been left with Mr.Mll ler, the post master, to band to the stage driver. Mr. Miller dues not know In what manner the entrance was effected,, but supposed the office door was opened with a false key, after which the look on the place where the money was kept was broken off. We trust the matter will, be thoroughly Investigated and the guilty parlies arrested and, punished. The loss of the postage stamps will of course fall on the post master, but the balance of the loss will rest on the par ties leaving the money, unless they can show gross' negligence on the part of the person In whose charge the money was left, which Is not probable.— Bloomfield \ Times.' * Good News fob Add.— Mr. John Miller, senior partner of the firm of Miller & Buttorff, is now in the eastern markets buying new goods for the Spring trade. This new firm is deter mined to be fully up to the times, and will always be able to supply their ous tomers with oil the new and desirable goods of the season. Favor them with a call, and you will find them able to show you new goods at the lowest market prices. Mh2B-tf. : The Local Papke.—a. local news paper is a traveling agent, taking its weekly rounds to the families of. all its customers* No matter whether trade is brisk 6r otherwise, no business man can afford to take down his sign, nor withdraw. the pleasing influence of a weekly chat with bis customers thro’ the newspapers.- For a business man to stop advertising would be equivalent to saying, “1 have stopped business, and ask no favors of the people.” Tea and Coffee.—lt is easy demon strable that the taxes ought to be first lightened upon tbe necessaries of life.— Tea and coffee, once classed at luxuries, have by a better appreciation of their virtues, been placed amohg the most nec essary and salutary articles that are con sumed by man. They sustain and in vigorate, and they cheer but not tnebri. ate. In.every aspect, physical and mor al, their use is beneficial. They are not produced in this country; the protection sts need not, therefore, want to exclude or limit their use; while the neoessry revenue from Imports for the payment ol the public debt, may be adjusted so as to yield Incidental protection to the prod- J ucts of our country.— Exchange. Some time since we seen it auuounpeed that Congress had taken off the duty up on tea and coffee; but we are led to doubt the truth of this statement from tbe fact that there has been a elight rise in the price of tbe latter article in our borough. Can any of our enterprising grocers give us satisfactory information on the sdbjeot ? Supposed Death by Poisoning.- Mr. .Daniel Wontllng, of. St. Thomas town ship, met a sadden death on last week, supposed by tbe physician to have been occasioned by polßoniug himself, though not intentionally. Mr. Wontllng having a bad cold, went to tbe mountain In search of mountain tea, and having se cured what he thought to be such re lumed and made a tea, thinking to cheek his cold ; instead of getting the desired article, he got laurel, and after having drank ot it, suddenly became unwell, and shortly expired.—FaMey Spirit. Dropped Dead.—On Friday morn ing last, Mr. John W right, of Green wood township, dropped dead while In Millerstown. He had eaten his,break fast apparently well as usual, and had gone to Millerstown to the election. On his arrival in town he entered the store of Robert Cathcart, and had been there but a few minutes ■ when. he- suddenly expired. Mr. Wright was an old and highly respected citizen and three years since ended a term as commissioner of the county'.— Bloomfield ligies. .

The bill provides that when ever any promissory note or other nego tiable instrument shall be given, the consideration for wbloh shall consist, in whole or in part, of the right to make, use or vend any invention claimed to be patented, the words "given for a patent right," shall be prominently and legl-' bly written or printed on the fsooof such note or instrument oullh tbehands of any thereto, and such note or instrument in the bauds of any purchaser or holder,shall be subject to tbe same defense as in the bands of the original owner or bolder,and any person who shall purchase,or become the bolder of any promissory note,or other negotiable instrument, knowing tbe same to bsgiveo for tbs consideration aforesaid shall bold such note or instrument sub ject to tbe same defenses ss in the hands of the original owner or balder. A vio lation of tbe sot in not writing tbe words •‘given for a patent right” across the face ot such paper Is made a misdemeanor, and is punishable by a fine not exceeding $6OO, or imprisonment not exceeding sixty days, or both, at tbe discretion of .the court. Local Option.—All those lb favor or those opposed to the general local option bill are requested to call Imme diately at Jacob Livingston’s, No. 27 North Hanover street, Carlisle, who will sell bis entire stock of brandies, wines, gins, whiskeys, bitters, Ac., at and below coat.

To tea Mildr of Oa VblarUsm Having attended the examination of Ur. add Mrs. Zeamer, at “ The Oaks’’ school, and being highly gratified with Its results, I deem It highly desirable that. a summary of Its proceedings Ije ln your paper) at showing tbe enthusiastic feeling of directors and pa (lrons in that district, and tbe' superior I skill and advantages of Normal Institu tions. Both of these teachers ore gradu ates of the Millersville State Normal school, and stand in the foremost rank of the teachers in Cumberland county. “ The Oaks” is the namt?given to one of the schools In 'South Middleton town ship, situated about 8 miles south-west of Carlisle, commonly known as "Stuart’s School.’' During the last-summer the directors oft his township erected a mag nificent school building In connection with the old building, and it is now be lieved, to be the finest school building In tbe rural districts of tbe county. The high school is taught in this building by Prof. J. Zeamer, and the primary school la taught in the other building by Mrs. Zeamer. Tbe examination of both schools was held in tbe high school building. 1 was not present on the 7tb, bat judging from what I saw on the following day, I am safe In saying it was highly satisfactory, A peculiarity about the examination was the entire absence of anything line pre- 1 vlous preparation, which is oertaiufy a - very commendable feature. I have not time to go into details, and give a par ticular record of each class as it was ex hibited before the large concourse of teachers, ,directors, patrons and citl .zens in attendance, suffice it to say that each class, as called upon to recite, exhibited by their promptness and ad curacy well conceived and matured plans of instruction. I cannot refrain from no ticing tbe marked proficiency of Mrs. Zeamer In the teaching of drawing, which was plainly shown by the beautiful and correct examples which decorated tbe walls of tbe high school building. Also, to Prof Zeamer’s great success In teaching by the "Topical Method," which is now acknowledged by tbe best educators of tbe country to be the best method known, giving tbe pupil greater reliance upon himself , aud culture in tbe forms of expression which can be se cured in no other way. I Invite all in tcrested In education to call at ‘‘The Oaks” and see if I have not told you tbe truth. In the evening we wore entertained by tbe scholars with speeches and dialogues, assisted by " Prof. Lutz’s singing class," which reflected great credit to both teach ers and scholars. W. C. School Examination On Wed nesday, the 18th Inst., it was your cor respondent's pleasure to be present at the examination of the school in Dick inson township, near Mr. Henry Line’s, taught bv Miss H. Florence Fleming, who, though teaching her first term, was highly commended by patrons, directors and visitors from that dis trict, as well as neighboring districts and other townships, for her thorough ness and efficiency as a teacher. There were about forty visitors present on that occasion. The school numbers some thirty-five pupils, varying from the child of six summers, to the young misses and masters, high up in their teens, and in branches from the prim mer—up, step by step—to the highest English branches, to wit: physical geography, algebra, &c. One of. the speakers remarked a prominent feature of tbe.schnoi was, the training in read ing, some of whom, for their age, can not be surpassed or equalled. The classes were' first examined in the I different branches by their teacher, af ter which some teachers present were requested to continue the examination, which in several instances was done to the entire satisfaction of the audience, showing it was not a mere preparation for that day only but that they were prepared for a thorough sifting, as far its they had Progressed in their studies. The examination commenced at!2iP. M., and although being disappointed in not having music (as Prof. McKehan had a previous engagement for that day,) yet the order of scholars and spectators was very good. I have sel dom seen as much interest manifested by an' audience on similar occasions, which plainly showed that the exami nation left a favorable impre-aion.on the minds bf.ail present, and the audi ence appeared sorry Instead of relieved that the hour of adjournment came be -1 fore they were through with all the ex ercises, and lingered for sometime after being dismissed, comparing views and in all instances expressing themselves favorably impressed with both teacher and pupils. -There were several con gratulatory addresses at the close of the examination. Visitor, C-ffcf the Volunteer} School Examination.—On the 13th Inst., we had the. pleasure of at tending the examination of Mr. John L. Henry’s school in tbe upper room of the Academy building at Centre ville, and it was without: doubt, one of the moat successful of examinations that I have ever seen held. By 11 o’clock the school room was crowded by the patrons of the district and other districts, a great many others were there from Dickinson, South Middle ton, Newton and West Pennsboro’ townships. The answers that the scholars made in physiology, philoso phy, physical geography, Ac., con vinced the audience that they were under tbe supervision ot a good and efficient instructor. The reading classes, I dare say, cannot be excelled, all things being equal. The house was wreathed iu a most beautiful manner, and the style and finish with which the room was decorated, was admired by every on» in attendance, and evidently showed, a.great deal of taste both in the teacher, and the patrons. : .The exercises were enlivend by music, essays and elocutionary exer cises. The music was discoursed by Prof. John M’Keehan. I must tell you that we had a splendid repast furnish ed us at noon, In the lower room by the patrons. Over two hundred chil dren and citixens partook of the dainties prepared for them. Mr. Henry and the patrons deserve great credit for the manner in which this entertainment was gotten up and carried oat. ' Everything passed off admirably, and every one' was well pleased with the exercises. Mr. Henry has taught in this district and an adjoining district for about ten years, and has made a reputation for skill and practice in teaching, second to none in tbe County. . He is a self made man, and deserves great credit for the proficiency he has made in the different branches. Alter addresses bad bean made by the Rev. A. 0. Pelker, Prof, J. Zeataer and Mr. Means of South Middleton, the exercises, were concluded by a piece of music played on the molodeon, when the audience dispersed highly gratified that they bad attended on the occasion. Visitor. fjfbr the American Volunteer, To the Business Men of Carlisle and vl- cmity; Gentlemen— Your town requires a stimulant to Its enterprise. It requires manufactories. It requires encouraged and assured wholesale business houses. Competition is not always the soul of business prosperity. In organized union, and cooperative mutual sympathy is strength; and this Is what Carlisle needs. Let me propose, as X have to other ouunty centre*. There Is auffloient coun try trade In the <oounty to assure the prosperity of at least four large whole sale business houses. Let this trade, now distracted by Harrisburg and Phila delphia advertisers and dealers bo con centrated ia your town. Let a board of trade, composed of representative busi ness men from eaob township or district be established. Let Its object be central ization of county trade. Enterprise, bus iness discipline, harmony and strength will result both to the town and the country. Let just laws govern and pro tect wholesale and retail business men, and the business principle be "small profits and quick returns." Let special advertising: beep (ha country apprised of every variety of stookor goodson hand, and Ist every encouragement be given to county advertising and country traders, and thefe need be no doubt of the result. Goods can thus be supplied as cheaply bere, at wholesale, to the county retail ers, as elsewhere, and a general benefit I follow. Yours trul£, I North Middleton District Institute held its last session In Franklin Hall, on Sat urday, March 9,1872, at the time appoin ted. Called to order by the president, and the members present were Messrs Bren neman, Gutshall, driest and Conner.— The exercises of the afternoon session were class drill In orthography, by Prof P. driest, in which he gave 62 words from Henderson's test words. This was followed by an Interesting drill In writ ten arithmetic, by D. S. Brenneman, followed by a live drill In history by JT. I T. Conner. The Institute then adjourned to meet at 7 o’clock, EVENING SESSION. Institute met according to previous ad journment, and called to order by Presi dent Brenneman,'and the exercises were opened by a drill In mental arithmetic, conducted by Prof, P. driest. This was followed by a live and very Interesting drill in grammar by W. W. Gutshall, af ter which W. H. Zelgler gave an exer cise In geography, followed by select readings by Messrs Conner, Gutshall, Zelgler and Brenneman. Committee on resolutions reported as fallows: ■Retolved, Tnat the members of the In stitute tender their thanks lo tbe.edltors of the Herald and Volunteer for their Interest manifested In furthering the cause of education, bypubllabing the minutes of our meetings. The exercises then closed by.eaoh teacher giving a short valedictory address. On motion the Institute ad journed sine die. The Montgomery Poor House was de stroyed by Are on Thursday evening of last week, and three of the inmates were burned to death. It is supposed to have been set oh fire. Almost a year ago the barn was also burned. I Moke than forty years have elapsed j since Johnson’s Anodyne lAniment Was J first invented, during which time bnn- I dreda of thousands have been benefltted Iby its use. Probably no article over became so unlvesally popular with all classes as Johnson’s Anodyne lAniment. Pills which contain antimony, qui nine and calomel, should be avoided, as severe griping pains would be their only result. The safest, surest,' and best pills are Parsons Purgative* or Anti-Bilious Pills.
