teachers a good opportunity to show their
quality and grit and splendidly have they
shown them in the counties in which the
institutes have been held. In Lancaster.

the teachers were present, and in Bucks 93
per cent. In bucks out of 2 4 only six were
absent, four with good reasons and two with

The Philadelphia Timet, in an article on
advertising, claims the distribution of circu
lars as an unwise method. It says they be
come a nuisance to the housekeeper, and
are got away with mostly without being
looked at. In the same article the Tima
claims that the best advertising is that which
is judiciously done in the home newspaper,
which goes into the family, is read by all
the adult members ; and is a welcome guest
at every fireside. It is a mistake to suppose
that the advertisements are not read, for they
are read and discussed by the members of
the household, and when purchases are to
be made, are remembered and acted upon.
Tax oh Hobses and Cattle, On account
of some dissatisfaction relative to the blank
form to be used on the subject of personal
taxation, the auditor general has sent the
following circular o the commissioners f
each county in the state :
" In reply to numerous inquiries, I beg to
advise you that the item of horses and cat
tle, shown on blank form it, 12. is not in
any way to be construed as making such
property subject to state taxation. When I
was having the blanks prepared they were
submitted to the officers of the several conn
ties for approval and such suggestions as
their experience would dictate. These offi
cers all agreed in having the item of horses
and cattle shown on the blanks, believing it
would facilitate their local assessment. It
was in deference to this wish that the item
was included on the blank. Please advise
your assessors that the taxpayers are not
obliged to make a return of them on tha
blank."
Killed by as E.n;ine. Mr. Isaiah Rodg

and killed by the engine of the south-bound
accommodation train on the Somerset and
Cambria Railroad, Monday morning. Mr.
Rodgers lived in sight of the railroad, a

the approaching train to go to bis son's as

prising town lias been reduced to a center of
want and desolation. Its inhabitants
principally working people are.in dire dis
tress, and the coming winter will find them
without money, fuel or clothing, A year
ago the prospects for Everett were of the
brightest. The South Penn railroad offi
cials promised to make this the end of the
middle division, re-pair shops were spoken
of, the Everett Iron Company'snew furua
costing nearly tl.000.OCO, was lighted, and
in quick succession came the establishment
of the Everett Glass Works and other minor
industries. The town filled up with me
chanics, real estate advanced, building op
erations began, and there was an abundance;
of work at fair wages. This prosperity,
however, was of short duration. The col
apse of the South Penn project crippled all
enterorise end proved a lever working the
disastrous train of ruin. The next blow was
the failure of the Everett Bank, in which
many poor families had their savings depos
ited, and following closely came the collapse
of the Building Association. The town
moved along slowly during the summer nn
til a few days ago, when the failure of the
iron company was announced. The col
lapse was unsuspected by any of thecitizens,
and therefore proved a thunderbolt. The
reasons assigned for the failure are that the
ore used was irregular in quality, causing
frequent delays and destruction of metal,
the inexperience of the managers and the
low rate for iron. Mr. Prime, the receiver,
has been there during.the week straightening
up accounts, but is undecided whether he
will operate the plant or sell. Scarcely bad
the news of the iron company's failure
reached Everett, when the suspension of
the glass works was announced, an estab
lishment that started with the best of pros
ects in the spring. The works are now
closed, with n execution against them in
the Sheriffs hands, and the employes are
idle. The stagnation of business and the
threatened destitution of tlie people of Ever
ett have been brought about in less than a
year by the collapse of a railroad enterprise.

Gents. I take great pleasure in inform
ing you that Dr. J. Jay Villers' lectures
were a decided success in our city. There is
but one sentiment respecting his efforts
here, which is that of the highest praise.
We expected much, bnt be far surpassed
our expectations. So well were tbe people
plrastd that they prevailed on him to re
main over, and the interest on the third
night was unabated, and indeed increased.
Long may Dr. Villers live to please and de
light, as well as edify all people who are for
lunate enough to hear him with his unsur
passed humor, and at the same time, high-
lOJied entertainment.
Very respectfully, yonr ob't servant.

.Rev. PrBsiiuo'sTo re Tbied Rev. Dr. I.
C. Pershing, President of the Pittsburgh Fe
male College, will be placed on trial in
Christ M. E Church, Pittsburgh, on the lftth
instant. The indictment, which has been
drawn up by three ministers, contains twen
ty-five specific charges, among them false
hood, obtaining money under false repre
sentations, and conduct unbecoming a min
ister. Concerning the charger, the Doctor
said: "The charges, so-called, are simply
those mentioned at the last Pittsburgh An
nual Conference. At that time I could have
disposed of the entire question favorably to
myself if I had taken advantage of a mere
technicality. I, however, refrained from
that, and requested my Presiding Elder to
appoint a committee of investigation. I
also wrote Mr. Dill informing him of what
I had done. Referring to the charges, I ut
trrlv deny them, and I will convince Mr.
Dill that he is wrong. I did borrow money
from his bank in 1NS0, bnt I commenced to
pay it back as twin as possible and contin
ued to do so until when I was over
taken bv great financial losses. I became
quite embarrassed, and could not possibly
onv Mr. Dill anv more money until I was
more prosierons."
"Why is Mr. Dill prosecuting yon on
these charges ?" was asked.
" Well. I may not be at liberty to speak
definitely, but I am free to think that he is
trying to squeeze money out of me. He, I
presume, expects that rather than allow
any investigation to go on I will beg of my
friends to advance the money to him. I
cannot do that. The whole matter is aim-
