We might add that the attendance woo'd ba larger, but for the faot that tho School Directors bave seen fit to establish a aohool at Funkvllle, for the accommodation of the children residing In that vicinity, who bava heretofore been compelled to walk tbat long distance to tbla plaoa In order to aecure aohool privileges.

We trust our citi zens will do what they can to make the first exhibition a grand success, for it is an effort In the right direction, and a matter worthy of attention. Venango Citizen. A large number oi our cltlaens availed themselves ol the opportunity, last evening, to attend the Democratic and Liberal Re publican Mass Meeting at Oil City, a spec lat train having been run over the Oil Creek Road for that purpose. The Columbia Cor net Band accompanied the Petroleum Cen tre, Columbia and Tarr Farm delegation. The meeting was addressed by Montgomery Blair, and Is said to have been a large one, A misunderstanding occurred In regard to the train being free, whiob created consider able bard feeling. The Oil City committee It appears sent word to the Petroleum Cen tre committee that a train wonld be furnish ed free to the delegationi irom Petroleum Centre, Columbia and Tarr Farm. When the train arrivedfrom Oil City, the conduc torMack Dobbins notified the committee that no provision for a free train bad been made and that fare would be collected Knowing that muoh bard feeling would en sue should this become known, Messrs. Jas. Desbler and Frank Holden advanced the amount demanded by the railroad company, and secured a free ride for the three dele gations mentioned above. Whea the train arrived at Rousevllle a large orowd, aocom paoled by the Rousevllle Band, was in wait ing, all of whom bad to pay fare, beace much bard feeling ensned, and the Oil City committee wss cursed all round for not ful' tilling what tbey advertised.

A correspondent of the London Atbenoo- um writes from Jerusalem, July 24: The excavations In .search of autiqultles In Moab bave proved surprisingly suocoss lul. About six hundred objects, earthen ware jars, lamps, fixtures of men and ani mals inscribed slabs, etc, havo been safely lodged in Jerusalem. Many of these are of tho highest Interest. One of the most etrik. ing is the Dgure of a calf, nearly life size, iu sitting posture, and with a hole iu the back, apparently to burn incense in. There is no inscription upon this figure, but an other call's bead, of smaller size, Is placed prtgbt upon an earthen disc, which ha some letters loscrl bed upon it. The jars ate of large sizo and somewhat rude con struction, and are uiioclpallv valuable for the writiog witb which tbey are covered. The characters are, In some Instances, stamped (some stamps In earthenware bave been found), in others engraved witb a sharp Instrument, wbilst a third kind Is in strong relief, aod may bave 'been moulded, or, as appears to be the cats witb one of the lamps, first formed in wet clay, and then stuck on. It seems also that 'some of these raised characters bave been formed by scraping away the surrounding clay a work requiring much skill and patience where the inscription is copious and the oharacter a rowded. The letters are obiofly Phoenician; others resemble Nabatbean.1 and others again are ot forma not previous ly knowo here. The human figures are very numerous. Some are surmised to represent Moloch, having a cavity In capacious abdomen, and a hollow space, perhaps for Ore, under neath. But the most remarkable, aod In some respeots tbe most Interesting, of these antlquitlei are tbe Pballlo emblems. Some of these are ol very unmistakable character. It Is, perhaps, fortunate, In so far as tbe recovery ol these valuable antiquities I concerned that tbe American exploring ex1 pnditlon has been delayed, It being cer tain that no auob party, however small and modestly equipped, oan enter Moab with out attracting tbe attention and exoiting tbe cupidity ol the Sheikhs, and putting a stop to all useful search for inscription, etc It Is reported that there are at present near ly a hundred Arabs employed in digging for antiquities. Eacb man works upon his own account, and is paid only for what be finds. An unpleasant mistake and Its results are narrated la our New England exchange. Tnrougb the columns of a local papor tbe bir th of a daughter was recently announced to a citizen of Rckwell Conn., and as be had been married many years and bail no Children, tbe event created a sensation among bis friends, who determined to visit blm In a body, bearing tokens of their re gard, At the appointed hour tbey set forth having with them a baby carriage, cradlev open-work chair, teething rings, and numer. one small articles, tbe uses of whiob are Known to the Initiated.

Some members ol tbe Third Congre gational Church bad formed a class of in telligent Chinese, taught tbem tbe rudi menta of tbe English language, and alto In struoted them in matters of religion; and after a while the leaders of the movement thought their pupils sufficiently advanced to be permitted to worship In the cburcb every Sunday. This was bitterly opposed by some of tbo congregation, and when a vote was taken there was 62 In favor and 18 gainst Admission. Tbe minority made tblngs so lively tbat tbe admission of tbe Chinese converts was postponed six months, and in 'be meantime tbe pastor, having got mixed up in tbe dispute, was compelled to resign. The opposing factions are now left to fight it out among themselves, while the poor e inverts, who bad been temporarily abandoned by bptb sides, are left exposed to the enemy cf souls. Court Record.
