School Exhibition
3fa. Editor : Dear Sir I had the
pleasure on the lOlh instant, of wit
nessing a public exhibition, nt tbe
Sylvan Grovo School House, in this
township, which was both creditable
to teacher and scholars, and very in
teresting to their friends and specta
tors. Tho audience numbered at least
threo hundred and fifty persons, and
special interest seemed to pervade
the assembly. Notwithstanding the
crowded slnto of tho house, perfect
order prevuilcd during tho exercises.
I think that exhibitions of this kind,
are beneficial to our school system.
and hould bo encouraged, by ita
friends, as-well as everything else,
that tends to strengthen tho system,
and creates a sympathy for each oth
er, between teacher ami scholar, which
i so requisite iu popularizing thesys
tem. Tho exhibition was very credit
able to the Teacher, Miss Nellie It
Shaw, who has become n faithful and
4ucccssful instructor of tho young.
Yours, Morris.
Loyal Talk. Tho President's
.speech seems to have made the Boston
parsons Btark, staring mad. Last
Sunday evening they lell to cursing
Mr. Johnson liko very drabs. Hero are
-a couple of specimens clipped from the
Boston papers :
Rev. A. D. Watson, pastor of tho
Twenty-eight Congregational Church,
delivered a sermon on the situation of
tho country, taking for his text the
significant words to bo found in Keel.
10 lf "Woo to thee, O land, when
thy king is a child." Tho preacher
reviewed tho recent acts of President
Johnson, and declared him a great
er traitor than Benedict Arnold or
Judas Iscariot. Iscuriot, ho said, was
conscious of his guilt and refused to
take tho silver awarded htm for his
deod,andfull of rcmorso and repent
enco, "went and hanged himself."
Johnson, on tho other hand, after bo
tray ing the party who placed him in
his position, now glories in his shame
Tho Rev. Mr. Ilepworth, among
other bitter and wicked things, said :
Tho President has hinted assassina
tion. I "Oh, Mr. President, you will
nover bo killed. Only the good and
tho great die. You will live forever !
Applause He calls himself a sclf
mado man. Wo can well believe it
for it is no credit to have made him."

HIS LAST AGONY.
"When ho had cried airain with a
loud voice, yielded up tho ghost."
Alatt. With that last articulate cry
our blessed Lord and master yielded
up his mortality to tho embrace of
death ; and ns it hung over Calvary,
nature answered it in tho thick dark
ness that obscured tho day, and by
the carthquako that rent the veil of
tho temple- and the rocks, and laid
bare the graves ; and many who had
steeled their hearts against his teach-
ings exclaimed. "Truly this was tho
Son of God." As in imagination wo
behold him there dying amid lingering
agonies,alone amid a brutal multitude,'
no voice to whisper love and sympn-.
thy, or to pray for him in hiscxtremi-'
ty, our hearts melt iu n passion of.
pity ; yet when we recall his words,
"for this end camo I into tho world,"
wc realize that thcro amid the anguish,
tho horror of that closing hour, his
great mission met its glorious consum
mation. Tho cry, "My God, my God,
why hast thou forsaken me ?" seems '
wrung irom mo very depths ot mor
tal agony; but faith triumphant re
poals, "into Thy hands I commit my
spirit ;" and so to his well-won rest in
heaven tho conquering soul ascended.
Though we compassionate a death
so terrible, and seo with amazement
tho fortitude mid patienco of the suf
ferer, it was but tho closing sccno of
ycar9 oi privation, exposure, toil and
disappointment. Bravely was this
great burden borno under scorching
suns,through piercing blasts of winter,
during long wanderings in a desert
land, und upon stormy sens : and all
theso journeying lie knew so well
terminated at the foot of tho cross.
With this fearful vision bounding
his career, closing tho vista in what
ever direction ho might look, that
which most commands our reverence
and wonder is tho calm, patient per
formance of the work given him to do.
On from villago tovillago, from city
to city, by tho sea shore, tho wayside
and in the temple, everywhere and at
all times, master of himself, obedient
to his Father's will, gentle, resolute;
earnest, devotod, heedless of danger,
intent only upon the fulfilment of his
glorious mission. Many have died
bravely that have tailed to live great
ly, but in tho lilo and death of Jesus
all his harmony. IIo boro uncom
plainingly in his brief career all that
cruelty and ingratitude could inflict;
ho severed without murmuring the
sweet ties of homo and kindred: he
was content to so w seed that others
must walcr,and whoso increaso might
not bo his on earth, and with manli
ness that knew no complaint, with a
courago that nover faltered, with a
hope that was never clouded, he la
bored to eradicato sin, to raiso tho
world from its moral degradation, to
open to tho eyes of dying men the
Fathers house in heaven Whero aro
rsany mansions. For us this overbur
dened life, this lingering death were
pormitted,nnd to them wcowe all that
i8 noblest and purest in our earthly
lot. He swept away old rituals that
did not purity tho heart and bade
God's worshipper to seek hint in spirit
and in truth. He showed how worth
less is tho lip service that hath no root
in tho soul, and said, "God cannot bo
mocked." He threw down tho old
superstitions and cleared nway all
faucied obstructions between man and
his Maker, and called tho hitherto
dreaded Jehovah, of ancient day,
"Our Father," which words awakened
in us a throng of sacred association
and a love and tenderness too great
for expression.
For our higher civilization, for all
that makes men more just. less reveng
ful and cruel, moro charitable and for
giving, wo aro indebted to Christ;
and for those loftier hopes that stretch
far into eternity and take the sting
from death wc should lay at his feet!

our pure love, our fervent veneration.
Let it bo no idle gift of words, but

JOHNSON AND TYLER.
Some of tho Abolition papers think
they aro doing a very smart thing
when they omparo Andrew Johnson
to John Tyler notwithstanding tho
abuso which purtv spirit has heaped
upon his name. There is, however, a
singular coincidence between tho pos
itions of Tyler and Johnson, which is
worthy of notice, as it shows how tho
trickery of "ye smart" politicians de
feats itself. The old Whig politician
knew very wollthat Johajfoler had
always been an anti-Dank man, and
ho was selected by them for that very
reason, to prove to tho pcoplo that
tho Dank question was not really an
issue, but no sooner had they succeed
ed in electing their candidate, than
they undertook to carry out their
principles. Providence interfered and
removed Gen. Ilurrison, when the
trick thoy had played upon tho peo
ple reacted upon themselves. John
Tyler, of course, vetoed the Bank Dill,
and "ye smart" politician set up a
great howl about "traitor," &c, when
the real facts of the case were, that ho
had been hoisted by his own petard,
was all.
Just so now. Andrew Johnson was
nominated at Bultimoro by the 'Union
party,' not tho "Republican party"
by a party which boasted it had sunk
its principles for tho good of tho coun
try for tho grand nnd glorious pur-
f oso of preserving tho unity of the
Jepublic. Johnson was selected from
the South, and it was declared at the
time, for tho purpose of showing that
the party was "national and not sec
tional," as had been charged. Provi
dence again removed their President,
and tho Abolition leaders strove to
carry out their principles just as the
Whig leaders did before them, and
again "30 smart" politician is kicked
over by his own gun. So after all,
men do not mako much, in the long
run, b being politically dishonest.
Wo shoiild'supposo that when they ac
cuse Johnson of "treason" to their
principles, that the falsehood would
stick in their throats, for they know
Very well that he was nominated
simply because ho was regarded as
not exactly one of them. They want
ed to play a trick upon the people by
making them believe thnt they were
simply fighting for tho Union and
not Abolition, and they have been
caught, it would seem, in their own
trap. No wondor they howl, but let
them howl. It is good musio to every
body except themselves. Day Hook.
Novel Way ok Treating Teach
Trees. A Mr. Dolmcr, of Franklin,
Ohio, has invented a very novel yet
apparently good way of protecting
his peach trees and securing regular
crops of this uncertain crop. Tho
principal feature of Mr. Dolmer's plan
is tha mounding of tho earth up around
tho trunk of the tree to a hoight of
four or five feet, in some cases ono or
two feet above the fork. Ho applied
this treatment to ono trco seventeen
years ago, when it was four years old,
since which timo it has borne thirteen
crops, five or six of which were heavy.
This tree was split down at the fork
by a storm eleven jears ago, hut was
afterwards braced up and the ruptur
ed part closed in tho mound. Doth
parts still live, and tho largo part is
healthy and vigorous, showing no
signs of decay. It boro a good crop
of fruit last year, and tho produce of
Ins orchard was lietween six and sev
en thousand dollars. Tho operation
is regarded as of great interest to hor
ticulturists, and though extremely
novel, and apparently absurd, the
results ant such ns to command atten
tion. Let our farmers and horticul
turists try the experiment on a few
trees at least. It is worthy atrial.

The Will of Dr. Jayne The will
of the late Dr. Jayno has just been
filed iu tho oflico of tho register of
a-ills at Philadelphia. Ho leaves to
his near relations sums varying from
8100 to S.'iOOpcrannum.and beaucath--
es ?15,000 for the erection of a new
Baptist Church in tho western part of
Philadelphia. Tho widow is to rocefvo
$:i,000 per annum, under tho terms of
tho marriago settlement, and, iu ad
dition, she is left tho use of tho house
at Nineteenth and Chesnut streets.
By express terms of tho will.no intox
icating drinks are to bo kept in tho
now house, except for medical or culi
nary purposes. Tho fullest directions
aro given concerning tho residue of
tho estate, real and personal. Tho
oxecntors are instructed to set apart
somo 1400,000 ontof tho income, as a
fund to rebuild in caso any of his
property is destroyed by firo or other
accident, and also as a fund to provide
a suitable settlement for each of his
children as shall hereafter marry.

MEDICAi 8ALYATI0N.
A celebrated ihysician, who was as(
remarkable forthe deep interest he
took in his pafcnts, ns for his skill,
had been in atendanco upon a very
irritable old ldy for somo time, and
had bestowed feat attention on her
case, and felt geat anxiety to allcvi
ato her sufleriigs; all tho means he
could think ofvere tried, but tho ef
fects which hoought to produeo were
not in his powr, and ho saw that she
was gradually sinking. As ho paid
his accusf'u. visit Onctnoming, he
found her in I state of stupefication,
and with even alarming symptom;
ho thought itright to announce to her
friends that ler last hours were ap
proaching. "My dear 'oung lady," said he to
her relation, who accompanied him to
the room dor, "I am sorry to tell you
;very sorry but your poor old aunt
can't hold ou four and twenty hours."
"And pray who told you that, and
how daro jm sit' it f" said the old
lady, bounciig up with an effort of
strength thai soemed quite supernat
ural, and siting bolt upright; "hew
dare you say it ?"
She was ii a violent passion, and as
she veheinertly held forth in the abuse
of her doctor, the excitement produced
all that war necessary tho abcess,
which had bten the cause ol her illness,
broko from ler exertion ; she got im
mediate relief, soon recovered, and
lived for yctrs.
Alexandih Campbell's Death.
Alexander Campbell, founder of the
Campbellitesect,w ho died at Bethany,
on the 4th instant, was born in Scot
land educated a Presbyterian, boenmo
a Baptist; hit tho Baptist in I828,and
argued that the Bible superseded' all
creeds. 11 was earnest in behalf of
immersion, and gave singular power
to that art. His followers styled
themselves disciples,though the world
designated them Campbcllites. The
soct amounted to 3."J,0l)0 in 18G2,
chiefly located in Kentucky, Tenuesso
and West Virginia. Ho founded Bo
tliuny College in 1841, and held the
to his death, it sometimes
lad as many as two hundred under-,
graduates. Ho tried to avoid tho
slavery questioned partly succeeded.
He is said to have been a man of much
original power and great energy.
