Wickersham, on the ftt.ibject of a Normal School in this locality, of which we made extended mention last week i not, we hope destined to pass without produc ing proper fruit. The inducements held out bv the Professor all have their foundation in lus own personal knowledge ot the law and of experience in the establishment of simular insli- - . - i tutions in other localities. At Millersville, in Lancaster county, the school was the Professors own bantling the project of his own mind and .started on his own responsibility, and we feel that we iiazzard nothing in asserting that a more successful project was never conjured up in the brain of man, whether as a promoter of education or as a financial speculation in con- nection. bo too, ol the similar institution at Kutztown. It began precisely as we propose becinninsr our school here, and like ours it found its enthusiastic adherents and its croak- ing opponents. The former were undismayed by the dismal prophecies of the latter, but put tneir snomuers vauanuy io u.c- .um "u 1 t T l-t..T I. 1 J now Kutztown, line iuiiiersvine, ooasis on a School filled with students, from the expenses of whose education and support thousands of dollars flow monthly into the pockets of the inhabitants, besides affording them the best possible educational facilities for their children Other institutions, pimilar in character, but started more recently, are rapidly following the lead of these, and are with wonderful strides marchiiicr u to the line of success for their in terests and for the cccuniarv and intellectual i.rofit of their nroiectors. countv hesitate in makinc a move in the same direction. All experience sroes to show that Normal Schools have ceased to be an cxperi ment, and become an assured success. And if this is so, as it is beyond a peradventure, in other places, what is there to hinder its becom inj: uoublv a success here. ihere is not a Normal School in the State that has one tenth part of the natural advantages in point of locality that Stroudsburg and vicinity possesses Milkrstown was a mere hamlet and unknown outide of Lancaster county, until .secretary Wk-kershaui stamped the impress of his energy upon it in the establishment within its bounds of one of the best educational institutions in the country. 2sow its reputation is world wide Kutztown was known only for its battallu-ns and frolics, and its reputation was anything b it enviable until its Normal school was foun ded. A very few years have intervened since then, and yet now in reputation Kutztown stands beside Millersville as an educational I fount. Tv.t what cf Stroudsburg and vicinity? In answer need we do more than simply refer to the thousands who visit us each season in quest of health and recreation, and then fall in love with our delightful scenery, our pure bracing mountain air, our excellent, invigorating watert and go home rebuilt both in mind and body resolved to make preparation to come again Leaving out Frof. Wickersham's source from whence to draw patronage to a Normal School here, may not much be calculated on safely from this source also? "Where the parents find health, would doubtless prove the spot to which he would send his child to preserve ht-alth, if an excellent school at reasonable rates were to be had. This is certainly devoid of all speculative ifs and buts. All the facts considered we conceive that, the only question incident to the matter is the qm-siion of desire. Do we want a Normal School in this vicinity? Do we desire to profit by its great profits and its still greater educa tional advantages? If yea, (and who can doubt it ) we have but to put our shoulders to the wheel to make the desire a certain, positive proiession. ine laoors ot three months ago clearly demonstrate that this is not an unac- l,""l'1,Mlauie u a".v "Jeans-ina uie ami- - 1 .1i.l-Jl'al culties are not insurmountable. But $00,000 are required to be raised here, . thousand were subscribed in Stroudsburg, East - Stroudsburg and Water Gap three months ago in a very few days, and the county not pretend ed to be canvassed. What was secured then can readily be secured again, especially as the money is not to be sent away to be expended in a doubtful project, but to be expended right here at home, in securing, besides the $35,000 donated by the State, a certain, regular 6ource of income to our farmers, mechanics and trades people generally, and to the imparting of what is infinitely more importance, first class educa- tional advantages to the vouth and voun? folks of both sexe3 of our own and the neighboring , rf o o o counties. Are riot these considerations sufficient to in duce us to go to work with a determination to conquer success. Let it not be said of us that the plain path of duty so brilliantly set before us by Prof. Wickersham has been allowed to rankle with weeds because of our neglect to walk therein. Xellfe's Wedding. The fashionable world has been set all agap by the marriage of Miss Nellie W. Grant to Mr. Algernon Charles Frederick Sartoris. The event has not been unexpec ted for some mouths, but nevertheless it fell like a thunder clap even where it was most expected. We believe it is the first time within the history of the White House that a son or daughter of the President has been married within its walls, and for this if for nothing else, it marks an epoch in the passage of times and seasons. For another reason too it is worthy of note. It is a real, genuine love match, if not a genuine case of love at first sight. Nellie never saw her lord, nor he her, until on her last passage from Europe home. It was then that the fickle God touched two susceptible hearts and soon made them beat as one, and so harmon iously did they beat together that the conven tionally "cruel parents" could not. find it in their hearts to say nay to what was evideutly fore-ordained. At the time of their engage ment Algernon who is an Englishman was poor, and when the President found that Nellie, who, Jn point of self will is really a chip off the old block would not take no for an answer, it was decided that when married they should reside in this country. The death of an elder Brother however changed I matters Ly leaving Algernon the sole heir to property yielding an income ol s G(',UUU a year, and a necessity that he should reside in Erciand. It was then thought to foreco the match, but Nellie proved true to her faith and on Thursday last tho happy pair were made one within the walls of the White House. On Saturday they left in the Steam er Baltic for their home in Hampshire Eng land.

On Sunday afternoon the 17th inst., a large bear made his appearance in the woods of Simon Myers, in Smithfield township. His appearance was the signal for a general uprising of the citizens who immediately started in hot pursuit of his bearship, armed with guns, pistols, and other implements of war. After an exciting chase of several miles he was finally overtaken on the farm of David Nye, where he was ren- dered hors de combat hy a few well directed shots and quickly dispatched by his pursuers. When dressed he weighed nearly 300 pounds, Ihe late nres in tnc mountains ot INew Jer- sey no doubt drove him into the low lands, As so many ot our young Jadws are ambi- tious to take rank among the fashionables, and as they are some times doubtless at a loss to know just- what the fashions really are, we append the following for their benefit The morceau was penned by a city "gall" to her friend in the country and was evidently culled more from observation than from the fashion journals of the day: " As for lo necs, the loer it is the more fashunable you air drast.

In a late issue of the Argus appears a table showing the numerical strength and financial condition of the order in Northamp ton county, from which we take the follow ing : Total number of subordinate lodge mem bers in NorthamDton countv. 1.702: initia ted durinar the year, 154 ; amount paid for relief of members, $4,461.24; valuation of Jffe property in the county, fc-il.OOU.&U. Total number of Encampment members in Northampton county, 299 ; initiated during the year, 24; amount paid lor relief, 590; total assets of the Encampments, $4,827.15. ,. Amonq the records of crime and crimes rewarded, we find the fact mentioned that on the 21st inst., at Seymour, Indiana two men named Fleetwood brothers, were convicted of the murder of a little German boy, a year ago, and sentenced to the Penitentiary for life. From the evidence it appeared that they enticed the child into a field, beat out his brains with clubs, cut his throat and threw his body into a creek. The object of the murder was the robbing of the child of the paltry sum of two dollars. On general principles we are opposed to capital punish ment, but for such a crime a3 this we sec no use of bothering the Court. The most ap proved plan of torture invented by Indian ingenuity, would be the best possible reward for such diabolical criminals. Court Proceedings. May Term commenced on Monday last. Judge, Samuel S. Dreher, and Associates De Young and Gruver on the Bench. Con stables returns read. Grand Jury called and sworn ; Win. T. Baker, appointed foreman. Commonwealth vs. Jeremiah Miller.

We hope a cheerful and ready response will be made to the call published in our last for flowers to boused in decorating the graves of the deceased heroes in our midst For their sacrifices they are well deserving of this recognition, though every flower bed and every flower pot in our midst is render ed a barren spot. By the by, would it not be well to follow the example to be set, on Saturday, in Heading, Pa. There it has been determined to plant a living rose bush on each deceased soldiers grave. It is not too late to do this here even this season Rose bushes generally are full of thrifty slips which grow readily if properly transplanted A small gardner's trowel is the only too wanted. With this dig a hole having one perpendicular side place the rose slip a gainst this side and press the loose dirt firm ly against it. A little shielding from the sun, and an occasional watering is all that is needed to make the plant grow. Every body who possibly can should make it a point to join the procession of respect to our deceased soldiers. They fought, bled, and died for the preservation of the glorious inheritance bequeathed to us by our revolu tionary fathers. For these great and glori ous services they should never be forgotten ; and in this way, better than any other, ex cept' "possibly in taking earexf their living wives and children, can this remembrance be exhibited. Our several Societies, our Sab bath Schools, and our whole people should . 11 ,1 .1 w,- lmi'fP..1t join to swen me inrong oi taiucai., mourners. At a roeetiug of soldiers, held at the American house, last Thursday evening, the following programme was resolved upon : Procession to form on Seminary Square, at 1 o'clock, n. in. Then march to the Ceme tery, where an address will be delivered by He v. J. F. Chaplain, after which Harry Wolf 's quartette will sing, "Cover them over with beautiful Flowers."" From thence to Friend's grave yard, on Bark street ; thence to the Ilicksite's grave yard, and from there to the Old grave yard at the lower end of town. The Sunday School from EastStroudsburg will attend in a body, and it is to be hoped the Sunday Schools of this place will follow their example. Soldiers residing in the country are espe cially invited to participate in the ceremonies. Flowers can be left at the Express office, or at the Seminary, on the morning of the 30th.

But then explanations followed, little tokens of confidence were exchanged and the two spent a few pleasant hours together during his brief sojourn. A few of the fair ones were enjoying themselves on the side-walk, near the Court house, one evening last week, to the tune of "Oh, Susanna, don't you cry &c." The ice cream had to suffer shortly afterward, for they had a special "invite."

While there they thought they would have a good dinner. While strolling down Broadway they saw a card in the window of a fashionable restaurant with the magic words "a good dinner for 50 cents." Frank was in cxtacies. They went in Chicken and other tempting dishes were set before them. Frank wanted to spread his bread as he was accustomed to do at home, but he could see no butter. " I say, waiter, bring us some butter." The waiter cast i look of astonishment at Frank and replied, "We don't furnish any butter at this cstab lishment." After noticing the cut of the "gib" of the numerous patrons and making a few inquiries, he discovered it was an establishment for the special accommodation of " Israelites." Frank paid the bill and shortly after, took another dinner where he had a plentiful supply of butter. "Kiby" lost his valise. Too bad. A young lady just budding into sweet six teen, a very light blonde, residing on one o our thinly settled side streets, had a young gentleman call upon her a few evenings since about the first call she had ever re ceived from a gentleman. The shades o night were lowering. It was night. She ushered him into the parlor and excused herself for a moment. She went to her room for the purpose of bathing her sweet face with cologne or night blooming cereus, we arc not informed which. There being no light in the room she picked up a bottle which occupied the place where the cologne bottle usually sat In her hurry to appear before her darling Adonis as fresh as the flowers of May, she took a liberal bath and did not discover the absence of the pleasant odor generally eminating from her favorite bottle. Upon her appearance in the parlo the young man snickered and laughed, she blushed and wa3 very much embarassed, not knowing what he was laughing at. She took her handkerchief from her pocket to hide her blushes and in doing so fche discov ered the cause of his laughter. She had taken a bottle of ink instead of cologne Her handkerchief was black, her beautifu face was striped and her delicate hands as black as the ace of spaces. She gave vent to a shower of tears and at last accounts she was rubbing and scrubbing to remove the ink. She sa3's she will never use perfumery again without first testing her smelling or gan.

The Great Massachusetts Disaster Nearly 200 Lives Lost The last Jcffersonian contained a brief account of the terrible disaster caused by the breaking of a dam on Mill River, in the western part of Massachusetts, by which a great many lives were lost and a vast amount of property swept out of existence. incidents ot the nood are numerous and heart-rending. Whole families, in some instances, have been drowned ; in some cases men and women have been eft childless or widowed, and the num ber who from a condition of comfort have been brought to destitution and left home ess and penniless, can hardly be counted The whole track of the deluge from Nor thampton to llliamsburg, about ten miles, is a scene of devastation and woe The subsidence of the waters, which was almost as sudden as their rise, has left .i l l- ii . r.i .i me wnoie vauey strewn wiin me ruins on wnai out a lew nours ago were prosperous lllages, the abodes of comfortable and contented industry. Tables, chairs, beds. pianos, all kinds of household furniture tossed together, muddy and wet, bruised aud splintered, are scattered alonz the banks of the river. The bodies of the dead have been restored to their relatives so far they have been recevered, but it will be many days before the lists of th. missing can be made out with anything ike accuracy, and the extent of the loss of human life determined. The more one sees of the scene the more desolate it appears. Nearly every tree in the course of the torrent is filled with shreds of clothing which the cruel bran ches stripped from the helpless people whom the flood swept by, and the trees themselves are stripped by the torrent of their bark, and from trunk to twig, are left as naked and white and scathed as the corpses of those they crushed and bruised.
