LOCAL AFFAIRS.
RELIGIOUS. —The "week of prayer"
recommended by the Christian Alliance
commenced Sunday evening last, with
sermons appropriate to the subject for
the opening services in each church.
These meetings will be continued night
ly through the remainder of the week,
mid in the Presbyterian church every
morning at 11. The subjects for this
and succeeding evenings are as follows:
Wednesday, JaD. 10. Nations: For
their temporal and spiritual welfare; for
kings and all in tuthoiity; for the main
tenance of peace; and for the increase ol
"righteousness," which "exalteth a nation."
Thursday, January 11. For christian
families, for servants, and for schools and
colleges.
Friday, January 12. For christian mis
sions and ministers, and for all engaged in
christian work.
Saturday, January 13. For christians
in sorrow, in sickness, and in persecution;
for the widow and orphan.
Sabbath, January 14. Sermons: The
blessing to be expected from the manifest
union of believers of all countries.
FIRE. —The dwelling house of Job-.
Kiefhaber of Oliver township, situate
near the mountain, was totally des
troyed by fire on Sunday morning last,
with all its contents, except a table.
Mr. K had been quite ill for some time,
and there was no one about at the time
except his wdo, who made some efforts
to put it out when discovered, but was
unable to do so. it caught on the
roof, probably from the stove pipe or
chimney. This calamity leaves Mr.
K. in a destitute condition, there being
probably no insurance. Many here
wid no doubt recollect him as consta
ble and collector of that township.

LARGE HOGS. —We have seen a good
deal in our exchanges about large hogs,
but one raised and slaughtered last
week by David M. Zuok, of Men no
township, and delivered to Harshbar
ger, Hughes & Co. of Mill Creek, takes
them all down, its net weight being
710 pounds. Get. out with your little
pigs of three or four hundred.
A public meeting will be held at
Liileysville on Friday next lor the
purpose of forming a company to bore
for oil on the Sigler farm near that
place. Although we have not confi
denc-e in oil in large quantities being
found on the eastern slopes of the A1
leghenies on account of the broken
character of those slopes, yet as un
doubted indications exist in both Derry
and Decatur, a trial cannot do much
harm and might result in benefit to
both landholders and stockholders, as
if even found in limited quariitiea it
would pay.

TEMPERANCE.— The Presbytery of
Carlisle, at a recent meeting, adopted
the following resolutions, which, with ;
some suggestions by the committee on
the subject, will commend themselves
to all who view with alarm the grow
ing evils of intemperance:
"Resolved, I*/—That in view of the im
mense aud increasing evils resulting from
the wde of Intoxicating Liquors in luns,
Restaurauts, and similar places of Enter- ;
tainment, and the encouragement given to
the traffic bj the existing License .System
of Pennsylvania, we earnestly recommend
to the Pastors and Members of our Church
es to use their best efforts for the direction
of public sentiment, so that a powerful in
fluence may be brought to bear upon the
next Legislature in favor of a repeal or
modification of the preseut law relating to
that subject
Reso oed, 2d —That we cordially invite
the cooperation of all Ministers of the
Gospel, of whatever name or denomination,
and of all christian men and lovers of hu
manity throughout the State. And, in or
der to aecure concert of action, we auggeat ;
that everywhere—in towns, wards, towu
I s ships, neighborhoods—petitions be prepar
it ed rnd as ruany signatures as possible pro
cured, and that they be forwarded to the
r next Legislature, praying lor uch modifi
' cations or changes in the License System
J of our Slate as will serve to remedy, or,
at least, abate existing evils
In these Petitions let the special atten
tion of the Legislature be called torhelaw
| for Licensing Restaurants, Drinking Sa
t loons, &c The existing law gives the
! Courts no control over this matter, but
I places it wholly in the hands of the Treas
urers, of the several counties, aud leaves
no discretion with them as to granting or
' | withholding, when application is made in
t due form. That is, they cannot withhold
j j license
These houses, which have become alarm
ingly multiplied, are the fruitful sources of
untold evil. They are the sure stepping
J stones which lead ?o ruin. They are fill
| ing our households with sorrow, our alms
houses with occupants, and our prisons
I | with inmates.
Let us strongly urge upon the Legisla
ture the repeal of this 'aw, and the amend
ment of the law for licensing of" Hotels
: and Inns, so as to give a larger discretion
ary power to the Judges of our Courts.

Communicated
To School Directors
I have a word to School directors, with
regard to the employment of teachers in
our public schools. Some of them think if
they can only succeed in getting a suffi
cient number of teachers to fill their
schools at a low salary, and, by go doing,
save a little money to the district, then
they are doing God service. These men
never, for a moment, take into considers
; tion what the character of a teacher ought
i to be, witli regard to the mental and moral
! training of the children. They think this
a matter of minor importance, and their
sole aim and object appears to be ta em
ploy the man or woman who will teaeh for
the lowest salary. But there are others,
who are governed by quite a different mot
to. They not only seek to employ teach
ers who are qualified, both for the mental
j and moral training of the children, (and
: this, 1 think, should he a matter of the
very first importance,) but they are, also,
willing to pay them a liberal compensation
for their services The School Directors
of Menno district differ, in s< me respects,
from all these; they want, if possible, to
secure teachers, who are well qualified for !
; the position which they are io occupy, j
both in regard to the mental and moral
training of the youth, (and I must confess
that they have succeeded in employing j
teachers of considerable talent and ability ) ;
But alas ! alas I they have failed to renin
nerate them for their services, in propor
tion to their ability. They expect them
to teach for old salaries, which they re
ceived ten y n ars ago, notwithstanding the
advance on all kinds of produee Mechati |
ics ot all kinds here have had their pay
advanced, except the poor sell- ol teach- r i
and when I say "poor," 1 mean jogt, what
i I say, for most of our teachers are in real
ity poor, and their salaries never c.lcolito
to --"rich them, and no wonder, that so
many are compelled to abandon the busi |
n?§9, and seek employment in othei wa-.s
"0 . that our hchooi Directors would cun
,ider their ways and be wise," that they
would view these things in their proper
light, "and do to others as they would that
they in similar circumstances should do
u'.to them," and not- ask teachers to do
what they arc not wiiiiog to do 'heraselvta. j

OF THE
Great Rebellion.
late Rebellion stands out peculiar
X "d extraordinary in human events; and
the magnificent scale upon which the war has
been conducted, constitute it one of the
GRANDEST AND MOST BRILLIANT CHAPTERS <>T
THE WORLD'S HISTORY 1
Mr Hundley, of all writers, is perhaps best
qualified to portray the stupendous features
of the mighty contest. His previous works
on less momentons themes have placed hitn
in the first position, as a graphic and power
ful delineator of war scenes and characters,
and the magnitude and grandeur of the pres
ent subject, impart to his pen the fire and
vigor of a yet more exalted inspiration, and
furnish ample scope for the highest exhibition
of his peculiar genious for military descrip
tion. Under his powerful pen the stirring
scenes of the War pass in review with the
vividness and distinctness of a present and
living reality, while his great talent for con
densation enables him to embody everything
of importance in a compass just suited to the j
public want. Fr-m no other source can so
clear a d comprehensive an impression of j I
the grand march of events be obtained, so j
easily and agreeably, as from Mr. Headley's j
work. Other histories have been issued be
fore Grant's Report and other Official Docu t
ments were submitted to the Government, !
and are therefore unreliable. Mr. Head ley
has delayed the completion of this till those
documents so essential to authenticity and j
correctness could be obtained.
The second volume, completing this work,
will be issued in March. 1866 Agents want
ed to engage in its sale in every town and j
county in the United States. Liberal induce
ments offered. For particulars apply to or i
