As mutters now look, we fear many
of our chnritahlo Methodist friends
aud good Knights of Templar, have
been victimized to some- extent thro'
tho operations of a contidenoa man.
Some few weeks ago there camo into
the city a gentleman of gonteel ap
pearance, pleaHing addrens and fault
less manners, who gave his namo as
Dr. Ely, represented that he was in
circumHtanoes bordering on destitu
tion, and appealed to tho charitable
for aid to enable him to maintain him
self until such time aa he could estab
lish a practice here. lie says he is a
native of New York, graduated at
Geneva college, in that Slate, and
afterwards studied medicine under
Dr. Mott. lie further stated that he
had removed to South Carolina, and
was ordained as a minister in the M.
E. Church. He was a resident of
Charleston when the war first broke
out, and, according to his oft repeated
tale, had acquired a competence.
When the "first gun was tired on
Sumter" he fled from the South, leav
ing his family behind him, and on
reaching Kew York, joined the Union
army as a private, although be bad
previously been offered a "colonelcy"
in the Rebel army, lie served thro'
out the war, as be stated, was taken
prisoner, was confined in one of the
horrible prison pens, endured all the
sufferings inflicted on our brave men,
and when released was reduced al
most to a skeleton, lie furthermore
represented himself as a Mason, and
sought assistance from the members
of that fraternity. Being an excellent
"talker," and with such documentary
evidence as disarmed suspicion, ho
secured the confidence of a large num
ber of persons, and was permittrd to
make appeals to several of tho Metho
dist congregations in this city. In
Dome instances ho met with great suo
cess, after having rehearsed the trou
bles and tribulations through which
he bad passed such as the death of
his two children from starvation in tbo
South, while he was "fighting for the
stars and stripes and the perpetuation
of our glorious Union ;" the confisca
tion of his property by the rebels; his
efforts to earn a livelihood since his
discharge; his patriotism in refusing
a colonelcy in the rebel army, and
such other things as were calculated
to awaken the sympathies and open
the pockets of the benevolent, lie
was also successful in his appeals to
members of the Masonic fraternity,
receiving a considerable amount of
money from them.
Yesterday the Rational Freemason,
a New York organ of the Masonic
order, came to the city with a full ex
pi.me of the fellow, who, it appoara,
had been doing the Eastern folks in a
similar manner. The article sets forth
as follows :
'A person calling himself John Ely,
lias Dr. llunter, alias Dr. George
Levi, but whose real name is George
Levison, has been imposing npon the
charities of the Masonic fraternity for
some months past, lie represents
himself as being past master of a lodgo
in Charleston, S. C, which city ho left
the day on which the bombardment of
'Sumter' commenced,enlisting asa pri
vate in the Seventh U. S. infantry; as
Laving been taken prisoner, and after
wards released by Gen. Lee. Some
times he claims to be a physician, at
others a Methodist minister. By his
ready answers to all questions he has
succeeded in victimising the fraternity
in this city and vicinity to consid
erable extent, lie has also succeeded
in exciting tho sympathies of the
Methodist congregations, white and
black, and has swindled them to pro
bably as great an extent. All of his
statements are fa Mo, and we have evi
dence that at the time he says he was
a soldier in tho United Stutcs army,
he was serving out a three years' sen
tence in the Trenton, N. J., prison,
for bigamy, llo has been followed up
so closely that he has fled from this
city. I have been instructed by tho
Masonic Board of Belief to communi
cate this information to tho several
Grand Secretaries, that they may take
the necessary steps to prevent the
subordinate lodges in thoir jurisdiction
from being victimised."
This Lovison is a man of genteol
appearance, about fifty-five years of
age, about five feet nine or tun inches
iu height, mixed grey hair, and a capi
tal talker, calculated to oxcite the
sympathies of nil with whom he may
come in contact. There can be no
doubt but Dr. Ely is a swindler, a con
fidence man of the first class ; nnd as
he will probably bo permitted Iq Qui
etly depart from tLe city, we advise
other neighborhoods to be on tho
lookout for him. When shown the
article in the Freemason yesterday, ho
but t-oolly suggested that some other
.person was travelling in his nnme."
When Andrew Jsokson was Presi
dent, a member of Congress from
North Carolina told him that a gold
mine had been discovered in the dis
trict that he represented. Jackson
rcpliod : "It would bo bettor if it had
been an iron mine." "Why 7" said
the member. Becauso," said the
President, "iron is more generally
useful than gold, and miners for pre
cious metals are a more idlo people
than those who dig out iron, for they
depend on the value of whBt they find
more than on their labor in procur
ing it" r
An xchange says : A young fellow
whose better-half had just presonted
him with a pair of twins, attended
church on Sunday. During the dis
course the clergyman looked right at
our friend, and said, in a tone ol thril
ling eloquence i
"Young man, you have an important
responsibility thrust upon you."
The newly fledged dad supposing
ths preachor alluded to his peculiar
home event, considerably startlod the
audience by exclaiming,
"Yes, I have two of 'em."

lug Incident til Court,
In the Circuit Court in Baltimore,
on the 31st, upon tho petition of Geo.
II. Terry and Elizabeth Terry, a writ
of habeat corpus was issued, directed
to Edward Landers and Margaret
Ferrell, requiring respondents to pro
duce in court tho body of Hester
Louisa Bartling, aged eight years,
(alloged to bo tho daughter of Mrs.
Terry, one of tho petitioners, bofore
marriage,) who is detained from its
mother by respondents. Tho answer
of Edw. Landers, one of tho respond
ents, alleges that the child is the
danghtor of his wife, Margaret Lan
dcru, by a former husband, whose
name was Ferrell, and that tho name
of the child is Margaret Ferrell.
Mrs. Terry tosti tied that tho child
was born in the almshouse beforo her
marriage ; that being nnablo to take
care of it, Bhe left it with a woman
named Mrs. Loughlin, who was to
support it for $0 per month, and that
tfl was pnid her on account ; that she
shortly after went to Frederick, and
on her return found her child in pos
session of Mr. Ferrell, at whose house
she was married for the first time in
July, 1X00, to Mr. Deny; it was in
evidence, also, that Mrs. Loughlin,
with whom tho child was left with
ber for over six months, attempted to
place it in some asylum, but failod ;
she then gave it to Mrs. Ferrell, who
adopted it, gave it her namo, and
fixed upon it certain properly in Fliil
adelphia. It was also in evidence
that the child was claimed to be the
daughter of Mrs. Ferrell beforo her
present marrioge, and that its name
was Margaret Ferrell. Tho evidence
was conflicting. After tho examina
tion of ono or two witnesses, the
respondents asked that the caso bo
postponed to enablo them to produce
certain witnesses, and the court grant
ed the postponement. Ihe counsel
for petitioners asked that the child, in
the meantime, might be kept in the
custody of the sheriff, to prevent its
being carried beyond the jurisdiction
of the court.
At this point Judge Alexander di
roctod two chairs to he placed at ono
end of tho court room. Ho then
requested Mrs. Perry, one of the peti
tioners, to iauo ono 01 the scats, and
Mrs. Ferrell, ono of the respondents,
the other. The child, during tho
hearing, had loon standing upon tho
ilatforni, at tho side of the Judge,
udge Alexander then turned to tho
child nnd told it to go to its mother.
The child started down and then turn
ed around and asked tho Judge, "('an
I go to tho mother I want ; Tho
Judge said "Yes, child," when she
sprang forward and throw herself into
the arms of Jlrs. ferrell, exclaiming:
"This is tho mother I want." She
was received with passionate kisses.
During these proceedings the eyes of
tho largo Lumber of women as well
as men present, were directed to the
movements of the child, and when
her choice was mado, the womon rose
to their foot, nnd gave vent to their
feelings, in exclamations of delight.
"The darling child," says ono. "She
knows her mother," says another.
Sobs and tears accompaniod the do
monstration. Tho countenances of
mon wore not without emotion, and
it was sometime before quiet of tho
court room was restored. While this
scene was being enacted, Mrs. Terry,
the petitioner, looked on, and soon
after left her seat and took a chair
beside her counsel, at the trial table.
Judgo Alexander then directed Mrs.
rcrrell to take chargo ot tho child,
and produce her in court on Saturday,
lie also told 'counsel that the child
was in tho custody of tho court, and
rofused tho application to placo her
in charge- of the sheriff.

It is pcrlntps not generally known
that the Legitdnluro at its last session,
legalized' Teachers' Institutes, and
appropriated 813,000 fortheirsnppcrt.
1 ho amount duo each county is 200,
to be expendod for the improvement
of tho qualifications of teachers by
means of the agency of the Teachers'
Institutes.
This large expenditure of money
involves great responsibilities upon
toachcrs and school officers, Our
people will not long spend money for
a thing of doubtful utility. Tho In
stitutes must bo so munnged ns to
justify the action of tho Legislature
who so generously cared lor tho inter
ests of teachers.
Somo things might perhaps be sug
gested that would add to tho interests
of this noble enterprise.
Tho time for holding tbo Institutes
should bo some six or eight weeks
after the opening of tho schools; it
is then that teachers feel more inter
ested. It is trno different counties
will bo governed by different circum
stances ; nearly nil, however, cun com
ply with tho above rule. . In so doing
the attendsnco would bo mueh larger,
nnd having several months drilling in
tho shape of oel iui I room cultivation,
the progroNS of each member of tho
Institute would bo more rapid. As
to tho placo fur holding tho Instituto,
each Superintendent will we doubt
not ace the propriety of selecting a
central point in tho county, a point
easy of access, ono having every facil
ity possible for the convenience and
I'm tlieranro of tho cnterpriso.
This being settlod, the Superintend
ent who has the appointing of tho
timo and placo of holding the meet
ing, should attend to this at tho earli
est period possililo, arrange too pro
gramme, and lino his influence, to
induce editors to publish through tho

To the Directors of Clearfifil county :
Dear Sins : According to a resolu
tion passed by tho Directors, at tho
Directors' Association, held in Clour
field, on the loth day of January last,
two Directors from each listrict, of
tho county, will meet in Clearfield, on
Friday, tho 14tU day of September,
1807, to recommend atiiiiTurirrBPrioB
of tuxt books throughouJ the county.
Want of a uniformity a' books is ono
of the greatest impediments to tho
progress of our public schools. Many
of our schools are utter failures in
consequence of tho variety of books.
If the law were strictlf enforced, a
neglect to adopt a uniform series
would forfeit the State appropriation,
as surely as a ucglcct to keep tho
schools open four months, With such
a diversity of books, at wo find in
most of tho schools of this county,
proper classification is impossible ;
and three-fourths of tbo teacher's
timo is worse than wnstcd. On pages
82 and 83 of School Law and Decis
ions of 1800, will bo found tho law
and decisions upon this important
subject. Tho law doos not contctn
plate'tho changing of text-books evory
year. It aims at uniformity, and
when this is secured tho same books
should bo continued, for at least, five
years. It is my l.umblo judgment
that tho aggregate expense would bo
less than one-half to tho people of the
county, if thcro wcroa uniform scries
adopted. Every new teacher induces
his pupils to get tho kind of books he
prefers, whon he finds no scries has
been adopted. This lias been tho
case year after year. Thus, there is
a constant changing o: books; and
yt no uniformity. It is not slrango,
then, that citizens complain cf this
annual drain upon their purses for
school books. The law requires uni
formity, and nothing can be gained by
putting it off. llmuit como sometime
and tho sooner tho belter for the
schools and tho pcoplo of the county.
Anxious to improve, tho schools of
tho county, and believing this to be
tho next step towards tho advance
ment M tho snmo, I appeal to tho
Directors to fearlessly and promptly
carry this part of ttie law, which has
generally so long been noleetud, into
effect. Nearly all other counties have
adopted a uniformity this summer.
The cilizonB of this county desire the
samo. The teachers able fur it, and
why should Directors hesitate f
Directors, tho people of tho county
will hold you reponsiblo, if the schools
do not improve, if you fail to adopt a
uniform series of text-books.

Industry.
Much has been said on this simple,
yet all important subject; nnd it seems
bold presumption in persons devcid of
the halo of literary famo to givo ex
pression to their ideas upon this secret
of truo hnppinoss, Yot, ns continued
dropping makes impressions npon tho
most callous substances, this may
servo its turn, and amid the gaiety of
life may leave its mark, and perhaps
exert some influence upon a wayward
youth. Tho osectitial requirement of
tho country is men. Men of honor
and probity, who scorn mean things,
nnd have inscribed upon their escutch
eon truth, honor, justice. Now the
question naturally arising is, how is
this drsidrratum to bo gained f Ta
king tho history of tho past, to gnido
us iu tho solution of this problem, we
find that it is only by an industrious
application ot "means to an end," that
theso moro noblo principles of our
naturo nro fully developed. This wns
tho key that rendered tho lives of
Franklin, Wall, Newton, Alexander,
Napoleon nnd hosts of others fit sub
jects for tho pen of tho historian.
History's pngo is prolific of examples
of men tenacious cf ono object, and
how few havo fallen short of tho
mark. Though, I havo montioncd
tho names of Napoleon and Alexander
as men wno sirilggieu uorcciy lur one
object, yet, you must not, my youth
ful reader, think for a moment I
would havo yon imitate them. Have
a Inch, a holy aim, labor for its attain
ment, labor early and late, have no
idlo moments for the spirits of dark
ness to enter into your mind, and
lenvo their blackened marks. It you
wish to be ranked among tho learned
of tho day, let tho first rays of tho
morninir sun find you at your work,
and let your labors not abato till tho
dark shadows of evening nnnounco
tho hour of rest. If you would become
posscssod of this world's gxids, have
Hie sumo nnyieinmg, iihiijuik vi"o
vcrence. To yon, 1 can say nothing
so impressive as tho words of Barns :
"To Milrti ilume fortune f (tol.lrn Mnilft,
Ai.i'i'tiinaftl; wnit upon hrr.
And e'hr itwir by every wile
lliEl'i gmtilird bf honor."
Then, my young friends, have an
"aim in view," pursuo it with an
arJor that will mako your labors
pleasure. And though you may fall
fur behind your anticipations, yet
alter "life's fitful fever" you will reap
tho rewards of a just courso in "that
bourno from wheuce no travoler re
turns." Amici.8.
