The Racquet is a beautiful dance. A fellow who knows about it, says you grab your partner around the waist and glue her to your manly bosom. Then both skip three times to the right and kick out sideways twice ; repeat tho motion to the left and keep up the racket as long as the man's arm holds out and there is any kick left. There are more grab motions and less grace in the dance than in the waltz, but there is also more gonuiue hugging, aud can be danced to almost any music from "Golden Slippers" to "Greenville." Said fellow thinks it is rare eport. Exchange. Dutch Hill Dutch. Dutch Hill, Pa., Dec. 21. '80. Protracted meeting will begin at the Evangelical Church Wednesday ev3- ning, Dec. 22.

Seveuty-fivo cadet engineers will be appointed next September by com- petive examinations nt the iSavy Academy at Annapolis, Md. Tho age required for admission is from 16 to 20 years and the studies persued are arithmetic, algebra, geometry, geogra phy and natural philosophy. Tho rank and pay is the 'same as that of cadet midshipman $500 per auuutn for the four years at the Navy Acade my. Alter graduation too salary is raised to $1,000. Political influence is not required. Any boy can get a pemit to appear for examination without the assistance of a Congress man, simply by writing to the Hon. Secretary of the Navy for it. The boy of the humblest parentage Las the same prospect as the son of the most wealthy citizen of the most -influential official in the government. This is a rare opportunity for the right kind of boys to obtain by their own efforts life positions of responsibility nud honor in the navy service. It is supposed there is a panther in tho woodi near Buck Mills. Three weeks ago Jast Saturday as Jacob Wolf was on his way from that place to Newtown, and when about half way between the two places, ho heard in the woods a short distance from him the most hidious, unearthly yells aud screams that eer broke upon his ears; he says the noise resembled a human being very ctasely. lie didn't stop to investigato the matter, but got out of that briskly, not allowing the grass to grow under his feet. When he reached Newtown and told the story to some men they laughed and ecemed to dis credit it, but Mr. Woil said no was ready to admit that he was thoroughly frightened, and did nt care to meet the beast, whatever it might bo. The uextSaturday night thesamescreaming aud yelling was heard by some of the men in the lumhering camp on Bobs Creek, three or four miles from where first heard. Mr. W. has been a woods man all his lift, and has slain all kinds of wild game in his day ; he is not a man easily frightened ; in other words, "he wasn't raised in the woods to be scared by an owl." There is scarcely any doubt but that the noise was made by a panther, many of which have been killed near that place in days of yore ; in fact the post office is designated Panther Rock, so called because a large rock stands in the mid'dle of Tionesta Cieek upon which panthers used to leap while crossing the stream. We understand a party of hunters have made up their iniuds to try und capture the animal. "Hickory Duds." East Hickory, Pa., Dec. 16, '80. Perceiving the note-worthy place, Hickory, to ba omitted by your cor respondents, I lake it that a few "Buds' from this locality might, purchauce be acceptable and pcradventure of some little interest to a number of the many readers of your estimable sheet. II. W. Miller, of Beaver Valley, lost a valuable horse. Zooty was tho cause of its demise. Mr. Elisha Ilollister, ha3 removed his worldly effects from this place to Pittsfield, Warren couuty, Pa. May peace and plenty abide with him. Messrs. Geo. and Moses Walters caught two very fine specimens of the feline tribe, commonly known as wild cat, a few days since on Little Hickory. The temperature in this locality for some time past has been shaking hands and otherwise making so friennly with Zero that stern 'old Winter has been obliged t don Lis Arctic habila menu. Politically, all is quiet. Busiuess is thriving, aud indeed it cannot help it, with the auspicious future, which tho grand victory on November last heralds, looming up before us. Even the Haidshells and Fiatists rejoice. Rev. Mr. Hicks, of this charge is conducting a protracted euort in Little Hickory school Louse, (more familiary known as Bog-ore Academy.) It is our sincere wish that much lasting good may bo the result. Mrs. Patch Sr., of this place, who Las beea an iuvalil for some years past, died very suddenly on last Tues day. The stricken family Lave the heartfelt sympathy of the entire com munity in their bereavement. Our neighbor, residing on Little Hickory's mouth, contemplates making a "hue" on the first good "coon-day," for the express purpwse of oustiug his "Murphies." We are lcarful, (of the coon day) ytt, iu our LcaiU wo wi;h her bowels of compassion this once. Owing to the efforts of our efficient and energetic Road CommiRsioners and the generosity of nature, the roads are in such a prime condition, that w.ere we to get eight or ten inches of the feathery element we could boast the beat sledding, coasting, etc., seen in this locality for several years past. If the words of prophesy ore "yea aud amen," as in days of yore, we need not test our mental bulwarks further. Wheeler & Dusenbery are carrying on their business at this place in the same suggestive manner as of yore. Madam Gossip informs us that the above named firm propose, in tho near future, erecting an extensive steam mill on their property in this town ship. We hope for the good of the couuty, that Madam has been aright. Tho intelligent reader will readily per ceive, by operations completed and prospective, that Hickory is billed for a lumber mart of no mean repute. Dis Count. Neilltown Rustlings.

Tho subject wus commented upon by theso teachers who considered it next to impossible to suppress whispering in our schools. Thev ave it us their opinion that it was tho most efl'cctive way to keep tho pupils intcressed in their studies. Mrs. Cobb, Miss Copeland, Mr. A. J. Sallade aud others gave their views on the subject ; they were good. Prof. Brockway then adjourned In stitute until 7.00 p. m. It was observed that many of the teachers were present long before tho session opened. The house was called to order by tho President, who intro duced Prof. G. S. Smith, of Girty, Armstrong couuty, whom he had cm ployed to conduct the exercises in music. After a few remarks the Pro fessor announced his selection for tho opening exercises, which wus a male quartot entitled, "I am Wandering Down Life's Shady Path." This piece was ably reudcred by Prof. SiuithJ T. F. Ritchey, Esq., Messrs. J. II. Diuguian aud P. M. Clark, with Mrs. Ritchey as organist.

They both ro reived the hearty applauss of the aud ience. F. F. Whittekiu was then an nounced to talk on "The Sienco of Astronomy." Being placed on the program merely to "fill in," and having had no preparation ou the subject he spoke without notes ; not Laving Lh charts on hand and having no illustra tions on the subject it was only the dry bones of the vast science clattered together, yet the subject it was well handled, aud Mr. W. showed himself to bo a star among stars. ' Another very fine fcelection wni &t finely rendered by the aforementioned artists, which was vociferously ap plauded, after which the Institute was dismissed. The President not being on hand at the appointed iimo Vice President Sallade called the convention to order ou Tuesday morning. A class drill iu music by Prof. Smith occupied about twenty minutes, and awakened much interest ou tho part of the teachers. Prof. Geo. Ii. Dixou, of Elk Co., look up the subject of Reading ind demonstrated to our teachers how very little is known of the subject. Much advancement should be looked for iu this direction for our teachers. Mr. VV hit tekin was called to the floor and spoke a few minutes ou Arithmetic, which provooked a lively discussion and passed of pleasantly. After a short intermission Pro'. Smith conducted another class drill in music. The afternoon session was taken up with discussions on various subjects. Prof. Dixon opened the- subject of "Punishing," dwelling upon it atsome length, after which the discussions be came general. J. E. Hillard gave a talk on "Language," which was lis tentl to very attentively. Prof. Smith's drills in music occupied a considerable portion of the afternoon.

Moffat, the imurcs Itciurcr, gave ' the audience some recitations in his inimitavle style. He occupied about half un hour, and so pleased the aud ience that li3 was eucorcd several times.
