The salutateriau prefaced her admir able production by extending a hearty and a warm welcome te the teachers, principal and trustees. Although woman is se constituted, physi cally, as te render the mero lender and delegate offices of human duty her appro priate work, yet there arc times when she is called upon te act outside her usual sphere. Hew does she act under such cir cumstances? I las she fortitude and cour age te acquit herself creditably ? I answer, yes ; the history of ihe past abounds with her strength and resolution. The pages f Hely Wiit, the anna's of the ancients, the records of the revolutionary struggles of England, France and Spain, the United States in truth the history of every nation exhibits in its brightest lines the heroism of woman. There are some things which wemau does net and cannot execute as well as man. One thing she can de as well as the bravest of men she- can die grandly. The fair speaker, in graceful delivery, held the at tention of the audience, aud enumerated a long list of brilliant deeds emblazoned en the history of woman. Applavse and nu merous floral tributes were well bestowed upon her as she retired from the stage. Music Vecal trio "When I am Gene from Thee," Mr. Bacr, Miss Warner and Miss Sigler. "The World's Opinion" W. F. Perter, White Haven, Luzerne county. Men arc greatly influenced in their actions by cir cumstances, and among the incentives te action there are but few, if any, that equal the world's opinion. The school boy aud the man in the prime of life are spurred into action bynodsandeuceuraging words, or restrained by lowering brews or dissent ing voices Some arc se thoroughly cow ed that they always appear te be apologiz ing for being found in the world at all. Ne one should be eccentric, actiug in a man ncr contrary te the generally received no tions of society. Neither should he be eccentric just for the sake of being odd, for it shows wis dom in any one te yield te the little re quirements made by the world's opinion. The most enviable stafe with respect te the world's opinion and the regard which we have for it is undoubtedly readied by following the dictates of a well informed mind, aud at the same time giving the world's opinion a just consideration. By assuming a happy mean we will be bcttct enabled te appreciate constantly the high ideal of a perfect, wcll-reuudcd manhood or womanhood. 1 his oration was tem pered with considerably wit, eliciting good geed humored attention. Music Vecal Sextette, The Cuckoo Misses Fitch, Wetmerc, Washburn, Sto Ste ner, Lawric aud Jcukius. Oration "Stepping Steucs"-Miss Can ie Custer, of Adamstown, Lancaster county. The young lady gave two pictures of two different conditions of life the stepping stone that leads upward and the ether downward. One evil step begets another and he is seen led downward. Take hu man history all through and there are scries of steppiug stones all through. The adoption of our schools, telegraphy, etc., they are all stepping stones that lead te a higher, nobler plauc. Se in one's charac ter these that lead upward and ever up ward arc the ones te lead te a noble end. The young speaker met all expectations of her friends, and her effort was well re ceived. Oration "Xantippe"-Miss Ida Stewart, Allegheny City, Pa. Her name has been proverbial in history, she was all but pleasure and sunshine in the presence of her vagabond lever. Many, who knew better of her, pictured her as otherwise. Every one who knew Secrates knew him te be a lazy, worthless character. He had naturally strong appetites. Lives there a woman who is se invulnerable as Xan Xan tippe as te bear all she did? She calls forth the admiration of the world. AVhen she was silent ethers would have assailed ; wheu she lived she drank a cup mere poisonous than Secrates a life destitute of pleasure. We have no patience for these who consider woman te be no mere than a household drudge. The provocations they meet appear te many as mere nothings. A woman under circum stances which subject them te scolding has a right te complain. She has done se for the last 6,000 years aud will con tinue te de se. The audience showed theirappreval of the excellent production by rapturous applause. Music Fiaue Duet, Marche Triemphale Misses Brooks and Davis. The Evolution of Thought" J. C. Armstrong, of Pittsburgh. The intellec tual progress of the race has been a growth and a development. The light of knowledge did net burst suddenly upon the world in midday, but came gradually in alternate periods of light and darkness. There were times when the sun of knewl edge seemed te be going out aud the world sinking into intellectual darkness, but suddenly there would appear some great light te awaken mankind into new activity. Great thinkers were born into the world te plant new thoughts into thousands of fruit ful intellects, there te germinate and grew, filling the world with the buds, blossoms aud Jelly lipening fruitage of an accom plished revolution, one of a grade series of evolution of which man's present social aud intellectual couritien is the latest re sult, i Beginning with the pre-historic state of mankind, the speaker traced the intel lecutal growth of man down te the present era of thought, showing much- research and careful thought. He merited the favorable reception his efforts met. Vecal Sole "Waiting by the Brook Broek side" Miss Adelaide Clements. " Educated Failures.'' II. E. itandall, Brew nsburg, Bucks county A very slight knowledge of history is sufficient te con vince one that every age lias, te a ccitain extent, contributed te the education of succeeding ages. Every institution of learning has this advantage ever these of earlier date ; it can avoid their errors aud profit by their experience. This being se, it is natural te suppose that after se many centuries of earnest labor, a system of education would be produced, complete in its requirements, perfect in our col leges. A person's education should he made te conform te the end he has in view. He who expects te attain te any degree of greatness must have a pur pose and a definite plan of action. Practical talent is ignored. The busy world demands it and receives it net. There is an unanswered cry for "cunning hands and cultured brains." Knowledge is a firm basis for a careful builder. If the true object of education were kept con stantly in view, man's duty te himself, te his neighbor and his Ged were examined in the clear light of reason, an intellectual educational failure would beau intellectual novelty. If men cared less for wealth and fame, would learn te hate pride and abhor it, the world would be all the better. The orator received mere tributes than he could comfortably lake care of. Recitation "The First Settler." Miss AiiuA. Ramsey, Norribtewn, fa. in a full round voice and in excellent delivery the young lady performed her duties ex ceedingly well. Music Vecal Quartet, "A Wet Sheet and a Flowing Sea," by -Messrs. Bacr, Heuck, Brown and Xchucr. "The Independent Thinker" II. L. ljewman, efMillersville. The great ma jority of the people are characterized in regard te matter of progress by a sort of apathy, by a disposition te let things re main as they are or fellow their usual course, no matter what that com se may be. The plalcinciil of any mau, the degmatical assertions of ethers, have little weight with him. . Having con vinced himself of the truth of a statement or the correctness of an opinion, he accepts freely, no matter what the general opinion may be ; having satisfied himself of its falsity he rejects it, no matter what policy or prejudice may dictate. He is ever sure of the true or false before he takes any action in regard te it. He seeks te advance the standard of learn ing, benefit ids fellow-men and the world by insuring a batter understanding of the laws which control human actions. Streng intellect is generally accompanied by strong will and decided action. Independence in thought and independence in action arc what are most needed. The independent thinker is of incalculable geed. He docs net always reap the fruits of his labor, and yet he is in a certain sense well repaid. Original thought and independent action strengthens his mind, lie should never blindly I"I!ew ethers, though he need net necessarily lead etheis. This was a noble effort en the part of the young man and his oration abounded with feed for serious tlyupjdit. Music Piane and organ duet by Misses Warner, Crawford and Montague. Adjourned until 1:45 p. in. isclure t!ie mayor. Jehn Dennelly is the name of a man about 10 years of age, who get out of jail yesterday, having been sent there for drunkenness, lie went te work at once te fill up his lank and at 7 o'clock last even ing he sat down en a stone step at the City hotel, North Queen street.

On Tuesday at high neon, Win. Hall, a prisoner sentenced at the Apiil sessions te a six months' term for larceny, escaped from tins Lancaster county prison. It appears that Hall, in stead of being locked up in his cell was utilized by the officers as an assistant in the wash-room, and had the run of the prison yard. The officers had every con fidence in him aud he nicely played the confidence game upon them. While they were enjoying their mid-day. meal aud supposed him te be doing the same, he quietly slipped into the yard, threw an iron hook ever the top of the wall, and by aid of a repe he had made of seme bagging he climbed te the lop of the wall and descended by the same means en the ether side. He probably had an ac complice, as he left hispiiseu suit at the outside of the wall. Thus far nothing has been heard of him. Matrimonial. This morning, at the Rehrcr house, Mr. Win. B. Lercnz and Miss Emma Keudig, of this city, were united in marriage by Rev. C. Nagle,of Lititz. The parties' te the union arc well anil favorably known here, the groom being successfully engaged in Hie produce business, and the bride, a daughter of the late Hiram Kcndig, and et Mrs. Kcndig, proprietor of the Itehrcr house. The happy couple have the well wishes of a large circle of friends in which the Intixmeknceu desires te most hearti ly join. In Search of Couilert. Charles A.

There are several ether charges against Cenliu for which he is held for court, and it was claimed that the lesser offense was merged in the greater. Accident at Venn Iren Works. This morning after two runs of iron had been made in the puddling mill of the Penn iron works the arm of the "squeezer" was accidentally broken, whichnecessitated a suspension of operations for the balance of tfie day. It is expected that the broken machine will be repaired se that the night turn can resume operations this evening. COLUMBIA NEWS. OUK REGULAR CORKESFONUKNCK. Mr. Harry Furness, of Philadelphia, aud who has the charge of the New Jersey news department, is at present in town, spending part of his holiday. The picnic of the United Brethren Sun day school, held yesterday at Springwood, was, as predicted, a grand success. The evening train brought home nearly eight hundred picnickers. The St. Jehns Lutheran picnic took about 150 persons te Silver Springs where the picnic is te be held. The Bethel Sunday school had a very slim turnout at their picnic in Heise's weeds te-day. A large number of beats arrived at the Columbia & Reading coal schutes this a. m. Five workmen in the Shawnee rolling mill were compelled te quit work yester day afternoon en account of the extreme heat. The negrees of "Tew Hill " had another light last evening. Twe women get into a dispute which seen turned te blows. The colored men took sides and seen a regular riot began, but in the course of a half hour all was again quiet as the con stables made their appearance. Seme suits were entered, but they will net have a hearing before te-morrow. At the United Brethren picnic yesterday Mwara Jlamaker, a young boy about twelve ycas old, in swinging fell from the swing and had one of his legs broken, and very badly at that tee. The bone pro truded through the skin, making au ugly and daugcreus looking wound. He was told net te switig very high, but thinking that he knew better he met with the above accident. A doctor was summoned as quickly as possible and all arrangements m:ulc te make the young sufferer as com fortable as possible. JIc was brought home in the special train. A steer, driven by Mr. Jehn Steuer, a workman for one of our town butchers, became excited and raised considerable excitement en Fifth street last evening. He broke the rope by which he was held and made for a crowd of people standing en a corner. A little girl who did net get out of the read quick enough was struck down and severely hurt. Frem last re ports she is !!: expected te live. The tramp who attempted te 'make a yeuug lady iV.M:eud from her carriage en Sunday evening, aud which we reported in .Monday's let ter, was captured yesterday forenoon. He attempted te play the same trick en seme Marietta gentlemen, but instead of rifling their pockets of their contents they descended aud captured the villain. He was put in the lockup, but this morning a telegram was received re questing that he be brought te Harris burg. He was accordingly taken up and placed in the jail te await a trial at the coming August court The Methodist l'lcnic and Heme l'emts. The above Sunday-school have their pic nic at Litis Springs te-day. It was largely attended, but very few of the male por tion of the congregation were present.

Henry, Columbia correspond ent for the Examiner, while playing base ball te-day at Lititz, made seme very neat running catches, aud was one of the hea viest batter in the club. A great deal of indignation was felt by the managers of the Lutheran picnic about the way the officials of the Reading rail road treated them iu regard te their pro pre vision car. Iustead of leaving it at the siding near the springs they hauled it about half a mile away, making it necessary te hire a team te haul baskets te the springs. The conductor was told about it, but he replied that he was behind time and could net wait te shift back. If this thing continues, Lititz will no longer be a place te held Sunday school picnics. Kobbery or Mr. North. Last night the residcucoef II. M. North esq., Columbia, was entered by burglars and robbed of about $24 iu money,' a geld watch and chain, Mrs. North's jewel case and jewelry, consisting of geld chain with a hook en it, breastpin aud car rings, of black onyx with pearls, two pairs of geld sleeve links, one black mesiac bar pin, with buttons te' match, several geld rings and ether articles ; Mr. North's diary (which was probably mistaken for a pocket-book), a promissory note for $2,100, and some ether articles of value.

That nothing may be wanting te the disgraceful story of the senatorial cat-fight at Albany, the Republican organs de net scruple te drag President Garfield ou his sick-bed into the arena iu which a tainted and demoralized Legislature is worrying through its miserable squabble ever "the spoils." The Times described the president as saying "after a moment's reflection and with earnestness, when infermccMiy Gen eral Swaim of the election of Warner Mil lcr, 'Thank Ged for that !' " Were this story true, the effect of course would be, as its intent clearly was, te identify the president iu the public mind with the discreditable outcome of a tedious aud disgusting battle of factions. Te de this would chill in a moment the warm and kindly sympathies with which all geed citizens, without distinction of party, forgetting the politician in the president, have surrounded and supported Mr. Garfield in the painful ordeal through which he is new passing. Of course we de net believe the story te be true. Ne right minded man, Republican or Demo crat, will readily bclieve it te be true. It will be time enough when Mr. Gar field has been restored te health and te the performance of his public duties for his country once mere te remember that he allowed himself te be chosen as the pres ident net of the nation nor even of a party but of a faction of a party, and te listen without pain or surprise te the language from his lips of small partisan emotions and pretty partisan feeling. But none the less de the manufacture of such a story about the president and its promulga tion at this time illustrate the hopeless degradation of the politics of the Re publican party. Iu the light it sheds upon the spirit and the methods of that party we are compelled te enter tain as credible the otherwise incredible story which a correspondent in Ohie sends us of a miserable scheme concocted in that state by Governer Fester, the object of which is te convert a proposed national thanksgiving for the recovery of Prcsi dent Garfield into an electioneering device for the benefit of the Ohie Re publicans! Inexpressibly base as such a scheme would be it really is net mere base than the attempt which, as we see, lias actually been made te drag the wounded president of the United States into the faction fight at Albany. The essence of the outrage en public decency is the sanie in both in stances. In the ene case as iu the ether it consists in the brutal eagerness of low and selfish politicians te raid for low and selfish ends upon the generous instincts of the people. What else can be expected of low and selfish politicians ? And hew arc ether than low and selfish politicians te be bred of a system in which every political contest is reduced te an ignoble scramble for the spoils of office. ATTACKED BY HIS FATHER. Remarkable Scene at a Railreud Depot. An excited aud respectably dressed gen tleman jumped from the 3:10 fast Wash ington express train en the Pennsylvania railroad as it stepped a moment at the Market street depot in Newark, N. J., yes terday afternoon, and springing upon a boy en the platform iu charge of a delicate looking child, clutched him by the cellar and rained blows upon his head. The man attracted a large crowd of pcople about him and Patrolman Chrystie and Depot Master Warren, forcing their way in the crowd, caught the man's hand as he was about te draw a weapon. With the great est cllbrt and after a severe struggle the man was dragged from the boy and the entire party was taken te police head quarters. There the mau said he was Alexander Adamseu, a truss manufacturer of 701 Broadway, New Yerk. The boy said he was Frank Adamsen, aged lt, and that the child was his sister Gertrude, aged G. The man was locked up in a cell, aud the boy was placed iu the witness room with his sister, te wait the arrival of Judge Ricord. A new leaded revolver was taken from Adamsen" s pocket. The boy said that the assault was com mitted because he was taking his sister te her mother iu Washington, and he had no doubt that the policemen saved his life, as his father threatened te kill him if he took the girl away. "Mether lives at 917 Green strcet.Wash strcet.Wash ingten," continued the boy, "and has net lived with father for years, owing te his temper and bad habits. Ou Friday my sister came te New Yerk with Gertie te find rooms, as mother wanted te live therc. She went te father's store and in formed him of mother's intention. On Sunday they went te Leng Branch, and upon their return home they quarreled. Father struck my eldest sister aud ordered her te pack her trunk aud return te Wash ingten and inform mother that he would keep Gertie and bring her up as he pleased. " My sister arrived home en Sunday evening, and nearly killed mother with the news. On Tuesday afternoon 1 left Washington for New Yerk, with the in tention of securing Gertie and bringing her home. I slept about the streets en Tues day night, and next morning watched for my sister. Father discovered me when he came from the house with the girl, and threatened me with arrest, but failed te carry out his threat. He took the girl back te his rooms, and when he went up town Gcrtie came out te sec me, ami I asked her if she wanted te go home te her mother. She gladly consented. "I took her te the Christopher street ferry aud came te Newark en the Merris & Essex railroad, arriving here about neon. I was about te take the Washing ton train for home when father sprang upon me aud gave 111c thesu bruises you see. After father sent mv sister home en Sunday he sent us letters which contained threats that he would sheet the first per son that attempted te take Gertie from him, and he- would have done no at the depot but for the officers." Mr. Adamsen told Judge Ricord lhatl;e missed the girl, and surmised that Frank had taken her away. IIe searched the depots aud Washington beats, and inform ed the depot police. The conductor of the Washington express yielded te his en treaties, and stepped for him at Newark after being informed of the abduction. Mr. Adamsen added that he was excited, and would have taken his child at all hazards. The trouble between him and his family was religious. His wife, being a Catholic, had brought up their eight children iu that faith. He said he had no religion, and Gertie was the only 0110 he had of the family. Judge Ricord took a charge of breach of the peace against the father and son, and decided te held the party until morn ing and await further developments. Mrs. Adamsen was telegraphed te conic te Newark at once. A Mf.TEOlt FAEI.S IN THE RIVf.R Startling Visitation or an Aerelite in West Virginia. A remarkable phenomenon occurred at Morgautewn, W. Va., Monday evening, about half-past seven o'clock. Just at twilight, writes a correspondent, I -noticed in the heavens te the left of the North star in the constellation of the Great Bear, a small bright spot which ap proached the earth with incredible veloc ity, traveling se fast that the eye could scarcely fellow it. As it ncarcd the earth it grew brighter, part of it being of a white and part of it a bluish light. The size enlarged form the time my eye first caught it and when jt was but a speck of llaine until it became as big as the moon at its full. A small luminous mist appeared te fellow the ball of lire. In a very few minutes the meteor passed below the hill, which hid my view from the river, and a second later a loud report was heard, caused by the igneous pro jectile strikiug the Mouengahcla river. A number of people heard the report, al though but few saw the meteor. As it was net entirely dark, but very few stars were visible. The night turned out" remark ably clear, aud a large number of sheeting stars fell, but no ether meteors. I stayed up most of the night hoping te see mere. Mr. Charles White, professor of astronomy in 'the university here, was away from town, se that no scientific speculation could be indulged inwith reference te the meteor. DRY AND UOT. Londen Streets Cheked with Dnst Whfle the IVater Wagons Ue Idle. In Londen the weather continues dry and het, but the heat is net se excessive as it was last week. The Jferiiing Pest calls attention te Pall Mall and Itcgcni street, which are choked with dust. The water carts, se active when needless, have alto gether disappeared. The excuse is the scarcity of water. The Pest advises pump ing water out of the Thames. Several pri vate citizens and representatives of busi ness firms complained at a police court against the water companies for shorten ing and cutting off the supply. The mag istrate advised summonses against the companies, which are heavily liable, aud summonses were taken accordingly. Fears or a Water Famine iu France. The intense heat at Paris continues aud there are loud complaints of bad smells. Fears of sickness are expressed. The prefect of the Seine has issue a public notice that if people were net less wasteful of water the supply would be exhausted. It has already been necessary te discon tinue watering the streets ; but private houses make the het weather a reason for reckless waste. There is water enough for daily use at present, but unless families aid in preventing waste, the administra tien may be compelled te take restrictive measures. Appreciates the Comparlsea. Philadelphia liullctin. Comparing Dean Stanley aud Dean Swift, two men about as much unlike as Jehn Wesley and Jerry Black, the Times observes that "both were ministers of an imbecile pulpit and an inflexible ritual." This sentence might possibly he found te embody a great truth if only we could as certain what it means. It would also be very entertaining no doubt te learn what the Times means when it says that " Stan ley was in a marked sense a prototype of that ether great dean whose life-work . leaves a bread mark in English annals. Swift, Dean of St. Patrick's." A proto type who was born about a hundred years after the death of the person supposed te be typified, is worth studying simply as a phenomenon. fatalities by Fir. The Catholie presbytery at Rexton Falls, Quebec, was destroyed by fire en Monday night and Father Larue, the at tending priest, perished in the building. The fire originated iu his room. The only ether occupant of the house, the priest's nephew, escaped by jumping from a win dow. Father Larue had been ill for sev eral days, and his physician visited him net lung before the fire broke out. It is supposed that after the doeter left Father Larue was seized with a lit and overturned the lamp in his room.
