A Xoru:al School.
The Lecture by Trof. 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

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-

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. Mr. bartons is said to De a very

implements of war. After an exciting chase
of several miles he was finally overtaken on

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.

Decoration Day.
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

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.
What lVe heard and Saw within

The "verdant youth," requests us to say
that the cat referred to in our last issue, was
not a "Thomas Cat," but a "Mariar Cat."
Lizzie and Emma requested the graceful and
accomplished John, to inform "Oofty Goft,"
that he was a humbug. He requests us to
say in reply to the angelic creatures, that he
is perfectly delighted to have such pleasant
companions. The cent will be preserved
as a pleasant souvenir of "Buttermilk
Frank's" last joke. By the way, have you
found the bow you lost while frantic with
excitement ? Your good nature and fond
ness of buttermilk, can only be excelled by
your exremc beauty. "Greely" is an ad
mirer of the "Lady of the Lake." The
painting and music, we mean. "I hope I
don't intrude," was the short and sweet ex
pression of a j'oung Adonis who returned
rather suddenly from a distant school and
found the "apple of his eye" enjoying a
pleasant ietcatete with another suitor. 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."
One of the excursionists, while in New York

"Tannery," must have been struck with the
panic when he was trying to borrow a cent
in order to get a five center. Mit, you
should treat when requested to do so by the
ladies, especially on a new suit. One of
our medical students is some on his muscle
Only last week he trimmed a young man's
left "ogle" in deep mourning. Frank and
the Professor took a trip to New York with
the late excursion. 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

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

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

been brought to destitution and left home

the course of the torrent is filled with
shreds of clothing which the cruel bran

their bark, and from trunk to twig, are
left as naked and white and scathed as
the corpses of those they crushed and

In the case of O'Mara and Irvin, who
were tried and convicted a lew months
ago at Montrose, for the murder of the
mother and sister of the former, the Ap
pellate Court has afilrmed the verdict and
denied the motion for a new trial. It now
devolves upon the Governor to appoint the
day when they shall be hanged. It i prob
able that Irvin will make a full confes
sion of his participation in one of th&
most atrocious murders known iu the
annals ol crime.

a day for fifteen shillings. The Irish
population do not rlish competition with
such cheap labor, and the recent murder
in Chatham square is a proof of the grow
