The effort to establish a looal op tiou law in Philadelphia, giving the righ to the several wards to vote on the ques tion whether licenses to sell liquor should not be granted, has resulted in defeat.— The proposition was voted on at the 'elec tion, on Tuesday of last week, in six wards and a majority in favor of license in . the usualway was given in each case.

Two Mit:EnErts BALTIMORE.-DUr. ing the torchlight procession in Ba Iti more on the occasion of Mr. Greeley's visit to that city, two murders were committed by desperadoes in the procession. As the Seventeenth Ward Club was passing the Republican headquarters in Gay at., there were shouts for Grant given by persons on the sidewalk, when a pistol was fired by some one in the ranks, the ball of which struck and killed Capt. Samuel Barret, an employee in the United States Appraisers office, who was spectator in the crowd. Later in the evening. while the proces sion was passing through Aisqueth street, a difficulty occurred with a party of col ored men, when another pistol was fired, striking George W. Barret, a collored boy, aged 15 years, who died a few hours after of his wound. Capt. Barret, the murdered Man; was only about 25 years of age, and leaves a wife and one child. He served in the Fourth Regiment Veteran Volunteers during the war. These murders caused great excitement in the city. The funer al of Capt. Barrett on Sunday was attend. ed by an immense assembly of people. Governor Whyte and Mayor Vansant, of Baltimore, have each issued a procla mation offering a reward of ssoo—mak ing $lOOO in all—for the discovery, ar rest and conviction of the murderer of Japt. Barrett, and a similar sum for the : apprehension of the murderer of the col .ored bny, George IV.

The progess_of time has again brought, us to the season' when, nature passes, through the.yalley of death. The sum., mer was bright and joyous; beautiful the green fields and forest foliage; delightful the flowers and blossoms ; charmiudthe flitting, twittering birds; nature was en chanbrent.,, But, with October comes a change. The death of vegetation begins. Each bud and blossom, having fulfilled its allotted task in the great and. harmo nious work of creation, droops and with ers and dies-, _ _ . True, the forest gleams in, its glorious. sheen of scarlet and gold, but its, gorge ousness is not the brightness of health and, life; it is the hectic flush of death and decay, The birds are gone ;• the solemn whir of the partridge and the mournful cawing of the sombre crew alone break the solemn stillness of wood and field,— Insect life, too, is almost unheard ; the few droningsoun,ds that still linger on the air have naught of, the busy hum of the bright summer; they are void of cheer, and seem prop hetio of the dreary, times to come., The flowers whose graceful talks and beautiful blossoms were our dmiration, now lie drooping and neg lected, the life-quenching fgo,st having de stroyed their charms. The fields ar e hare, desolate and drear ; the meadows "brown and sere"; the young grain alone gives a slight glimpse of life. ,The trees -- - - bare their mighty arms for the -wintry warfare with the elements, and the.leaves, withered and dead, are• scattered hither and thither, by every idle wind. Thus speedeth away that life, so buoyant in the spring, so joyous in tho summer, so transient in its existence.. But, 0 Autumn, saddest of the seasons. thou hast thy lessons for man, if he will but stay his busy haste after lucre to stu dy out their meaning. Not only nature, int man, too, must die. When his work is done and his mission fulfilled, according to the plan of the Great Designer, wheth er we think that work done and that mis sion fulfilled or not, the end cometh, and man is no more. Then shall the autumn of death come to him, and its chilling frosts shall bear away all the brightness, the joyousness of his life, How like the forest leaves are human hopes ; To-day green with the promise of a full fruition, promising to endure 'for ever ; to-morrow, dead, withered, an d strewn by the fitful careless breeze, with er it listeth. And as the birds fly away to the sunny southland, and thus escape the cold blasts of our cheerles;winter, so may man, if he but will, send away his thoughts, when troubles assail and griefs abound, to that promised land, even an heavenly, prepared for the sick at heart from the beginning of the world. • Amid this almost universal death of the vegetable kingdom, man is re-assured by the knowledge that it can not endure, that the tide of life will again flow, td full and as free as ever, but a few stiort months hence. So, too, is he consoled at the thought of the resurrection of his own body, after the winter of death, when in that joyful spring-time of the Resurrec tion, ho shall arise to live forever. . A DAY OF THANICSGIVING.—President Grant has issued the following proclama tion, appointing Thursday, the 28th of November next, a day of thanksgiving and praise to God by the people of the United States: Whereas the revolution of another year has again brought the time when it is us ual to look back upon the past, and pub licly to thank the Almighty for His mer cies and• His blessings ; and whereas, if a ny one people has more occasion than a nother for such thankfulness it is the citi zens of the United States, whose govern. ment is their creature, subject to their be hests, who have reserved to themselves ample civil and religious freedom and e quality before the law, who during the last twelve months have enjoyed exemp tion from any grievous or general calam ity, and to whom prosperity in agriculture, manufactures "and commerce has ibeen vouchsafed : Now, therefore, by these con siderations I recommend that on Thurs day, the twenty-eight day of November next, the people meet in their respective places of worship, and there make ac knowledgment to God for His kindness and bounty. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the Uni ted States to be affixed.

Purchaser, Mr, Jacob M. Barr. The purchasers of the above farms and those who purchased the Shockey farms are all subscribers to the Record. A fact worthy of note to persons who may yet have farms for sale. IN ARREARS.—JOHN MENTZER, Quin cy--township, is one among our careless patrons. We don't think he designs in his heart to wrong us or perhaps anybody else out of a cent, but owing to some cause or other he has failed for the last half do zen or more years to give us any thing on his subscription account. DAVID CARBAUGII, Dixon, Lee county, 111., is another of this class. His inten tions may also be good, but during the last ten years he has failed to give us any evidence that such is the case. We have on several occasions forwarded a few lines to his address without receiving a line in reply. By this means we hope to be able to reach him and secure, at least, his at tention. LIFE histinAscr..—Our neighbor, Mr. W. A. REID, is still in the Life Insurance business. The New York Naftal i, for which he is operating, is the oldest com pany in this country, and if we mistake not, in the world. If any company in existence may be considered safe and re liable to a moral certainty, it is the old New York Mutual, and we therefore have no hesitancy in recommending any of our patrons to Mr. Reid, who may wish to secure a life policy. Where the circum stances of either men or • women will ad mit of their getting such an insurance the propriety is undoubted. No better pos sible investment can be made. 'This much from honest convictions, and out side any compensation fee, we can say for Mr. Reid's company, 'the N. Y. Mutual. U. S. GRANT. IMPROVED STEAM FiNGEM4.—The last Scientific American contains an illustrated article of some length, 'with cuts No. 1, 2 and 3, on the improved steam engine re cently constructed by Messrs, Frick & Bowman of this place, which hits been on trial and operates most admirably. Mr. Frick's son, a young man about 20 years of age, has invented a balanced slide valve, which is very" favorably regarded and commented on by the editor. The device, or improvement, be adds can readily be attached to any engine, either locomotive orstationary, and for railroad locomotives he regards it as peculiarly valuable, the wear of the valve owing to the high pres t.tt:n7 tf •=tr;111 1:nr:1 nrd 7T:A nr.rl rr.rn biped, is thus obviated.

"AND BEHOLD HE STOOD SPEECHLESS." _—_-The_questionis_sometime&-asked"How is your young men's christian Association getting along?" To all such I would say, come and see. But now let me put this question to each member of the associa tion. How are you getting along ? Does the love of Christ and of souls fill your heart? Are you attentive to the means of grace, as afforded in your church, and in the association ? Do you attend its meet sngs ? Do you as an individual member of the association do what you can? Do you pray? Can it be said of you he is in stant in "season and out of season, fervent in spirit serving the Lord" ? Do you try to point others to the cross? Do you say to your neighbor; "come with me I have found the Lord ?" Do you preach to your people telling them to take part in the Association's work, and stay away your self ? Now my christian brother, here is a list of direct pointed questions, let us each answer as if to God, "Why stand ye here all the day idle." "Behojd, the fields are already white unto the harvest."

[COMMUNICATED. Building Sohool Houses The great importance of building good substantial and commodious school houses is attracting the careful attention of the public and is becoming more apparent to the tax payers as the flee schools meet the approval of the people. School houses in which the young and tender minds are to be educated should not be built as far mers build sheep filda merely to protect their flocks from the .inclemency of the weather or from winter's stormy blasts. Do farmers need better barnes - to sliel ter their domestic animals in than teach ers,in these enlightened days of science, art,progress and literature, need comforta ble and suitable school buildings in which_ to impart instruction and intellectual cul ture to those who may frequent our coun try schools ? Are the patrons of our common schools willing to acquiesce in having their chil dren spend their youthful days in school buildings far inferior in some respects to many fine barns built 'after the most im proved style? Reason - and better judg meta say no, yet on a careful examination it will be found that the most of the barns that are now being built are far superior to -'v of the sch oolbongo tha' ,J many of the school !amigo that are now budding. Ought our country school hous es not to be as pleasantly situated and he built for as much comfort and conveni. euce as our dwellings? Will our school. Directors show to the public the truth of this interrogatoryby__buildinggood_sclmol_ houses ? Just as long as the people neglect the duty whioh they owe to their own offspring just so long will they subject theit chil dren to the necessity of spending the best -days-of-theirlifein-old dilapidated school houses, • "Reform being the popular cry" in this progressive age,how much better it would be for the community if corrupt - politic ians would cry reform in building goor country school houses instead of :dor in political matters ? There is no depart meat imaginable in which tefbrrnstion i more needed than in building school horn es. The Directors of the township ru building two',new school houses, one it Pikesvill and the other in Waterloo. Ha( the Directors exercised a little more judg. ment or forethought in deciding upon plan for building they would in all pre bability have decided to have built onl: one house instead of two. The school sit( are in no way suitable because the pia' grounds surrounding the buildings are n• sufficiently large, and the result will 131 that scholars will of necessity be compel led to' respass upon the adjoining premi ses. Another very objectionable featur4 is the houses are entirely too small to a( cornmodate the number of scholars will will be in attendanCe. But any place 1 good enough upon which to build a littl village school house eight by ten if it shoul( not be a fit situation for a pig sty. Th. only play grounds about, these buildings are those of the public. roads, Do thf scholars of Washington township descry no better treatment than this ? To bi turned out on the highway to play and bi exposed to danger every moment just ilk( cattle that are turned out on the roadside to graze. How much better it woult have been for the citizens of Pikesville and Waterloo if the Directors had selec ted a central location with not less than two acres of land upon which to build a large two story building. Such a course would have been a more judicious one,and had such a commodious building been t, e rected with two large rooms, then there could have been two schools organized, one for the primary scholars and one for the more advanced students. What a fine opportunity this would have been for the people to have had a better facility for a more thorough course of in struction ? The expence of putting up such a building would not have been as much as it is by putting up two smaller ones and then the people would have had the advantage of a good, graded school.— I believe my, friend D. D. Fahrney who always manifests a deep interest in school matters and more especially in building fine school houses called the Special atten tion of the Directors to this important matter. Mr. F's suggestions are not al ways to be disregarded by any means. The public should always be willing to "render honor to whom honor is due" for future experience will establish the faa beyond a doubt that Mr. F. is perfectly right in his opinion, and his suggestions relative to such a contemplated building should have had• the favorable considerit don of the Directors.
