ite—The total' number of pensioners
now; on the rolls is 232,229. The past
year has witnessed the death of 9,104 who
have heretofore drawn pensions. The
number is, however, more than made up
by the addition to the roll of many thous
ands, consisting of army invalids, soldiers'
widows, and a large number of the sol
diers of the war cf 1812. One of the most
interesting features of the Commissioners'
report is the fact that there are not less
than 578 widows of soldiers of the war
1812 on the roll. The appropriations for
the present to pay the claims of the 232,-
229 pensioners, is $30,000,000 i'or the

terThe Baltimore Sun says a celebra
tion of the third centennial of Presbyteri
anism took place in Philadelphia on Thurs
day, in conformity with a recommendation
to that effect of the General Assembly of
the Northern Presbyterian church, which
met in Detroit last May. The celebration
is understood to be that of the English
that the reformed churches on the conti-
astical system as their own, differing only
in minor details, and also that their own
form of church government was the prim
itive form. The Presbyterian church of
Scotland had its remote origin in the first
introduction of the principles of the refor
mation into that country about 1527.
The establishment of Presbytenianism
in Scotland was ratified by an act of Par
liment in 1690. The Presbyterian church
in the United States is considered a daugh
ter of the Church of Scotland. Presbyte
rians began to emigrate from Scotland
and the North of Ireland to the Ameri
can colonies as early as 1689, and their
first and largest churches were established
in Pennylvania and Maryland. In Ma
ryland there were the churches of Reho
both, Snow Hill, Upper Marlborough,
Alonokin and Wicomico, the first men
tioned of which is commonly considered
the oldest, and was nrobably formed as
early as 1690. The Presbyterian denom
ination has embraced some or the leading
minds in the United States as well as
Scotland.
A HEAVY PURCIIASE.—The Allentown
Chronicle says the Thomas Iron Company
has bought from the South Mountain I
ron Company 2500 or 3000 acres ore and
timber land in Cumllerland county, for
about $1,000,000. The purchase includes
a railroad about twenty-five miles long,
leading from Carlisle to the property, a
charcoal furnace, forge, sawmill, store,
mansion house, and a small town of labor
er's dwellings. The purchase was consum
mated about two weeks ago. About one
half the amount was paid by the Thom
as Iron Company assuming that amount
of bonds of the South Mountain Iron
Company. The property contains en im
mense amount of timber, but underneath
the soil is hidden the precious metal which
the Thomas Iron Company is after, and
which will be transported to their differ
ent works in this county whenever they
run short of Lehigh county ore,

SUSPENSION.--We regret to learn that
Messrs. Frick & Bowman, .owing to sick
ness have been forced to a Partial suspen
tion of business at their Steam Engine
and Boiler Works in this place. For
several weeks Mr. Frick Ims been pros
trated with typhoid fever, and quite re
cently Mr. Bowman was attacked with
the same disease in Lancaster city, to
which place he was on a visit, and at lat
est accounts was lying in a critical situa
tion. Three of Mr. Frick's sons are also
down with the disease. Within the last
four or five months there have been nine
cases of fever in the family of Mr. F., two
of which proved fatal. We understand
the family physician, Dr. Benj. Frantz,
has recently been, making investigations
to ascertain if there is net some local cause
for this general and protracted sickness.
At the works there is a well of pure wa
ter which is conveyed in iron pipes to a
cemented cistern at the dwelling. Out
of this cistern the family it appears have
been supplied with water for cooking, etc.
Near the cistern is a sink for waste water,
sor 6 feet deeper The Dr. is convinced
that a local cause for the fever exists,
nd-is-of-the-opinion-that-the-gases-aris--1

water in the cistern. Several members

ME. BOWMAN DEAD.—Since the above
was-put-in-type-the-sad-announcement
was neceived by telegraph that Mr. Bow
man
had expired. He died on Monday
morning. He had been a regular board
er in the fa-mily-of-MTHFricic,-and-is
thererore another victim tothe cause, what-
ever it may be, in which the disease is
supposed to have its origin. A clever gen
tleman, and one of our most enterprising
and public spirited business men, his loss
is felt and very generally lamented in this
community.
There is one circumstance which throws
around the sudden death of Mr. Bowman
_peculiar sadness_ and
in a few weeks Would have been united in
nuoriage-with-a-very estimable young In
dy of this vicinity. His affianced, learn
inz of his serious illness, at once repaired
to Lancaster where she remained an anx
ious watcher until his spirit took its flight.
CAR mtse PosT MASTERS.—There seems
to.be some careless "small fry" Post Mas
ters distributed through the country. The
offices of such are usually kept in the corn
er of some store or shop, to which loafers
.are allowed access—a class that do nos
hesitate to spon,ge their reading at the ex
pense of their moee liberal neighbors. The
first newspaper that comes in the way of
one of this class is taken up and carried
off, and is perhaps returned a week later
or not at all. Qui,e recently we have
been compelled to ch snge the address of
several subscribers on this account, and
in one instance was forced to drop the
name of one of our best paying subscribers.
Such carelessness on the part of Post Mas
ters is inexcusable, and it lvould be well
to make an example of a _few of then►
by reporting them to the Department at
Washington.
Errzoome.—The horse diser►se it still

and through the country. A second death
occured since our last issue. A horse be
longing to Mr. Wm. Heyser of Chamber
burg died at the Waynesboro' Hotel sta

The most successful treatment so far
seems to be that of the colored man,
"Monny," at the Bowden House. On
'Wednesday of last week his "old nag"
had an unusually . severe attack of the di
sease. With the following treatment he
was cured in a few days : A lump of fat
pork half as large as a man's hand was
(mopped up fine and giyen in mash feed,
which was followed with three doses• of
sulphur—administered in the same way

A WORD ON TEE SIUBJECT OF EDTICA
.
TION.—It iats become a sad practice a
mong teachers to attempt to cram a young
child's brain with studies, A great many
think the brain is elastic, and. will stretch
to any desired extent. Consequently you
will hear young persons, who have not
attained their sixteenth year, exclaim :
"1 study philosophy, chemistry, geogra
phy, grammar, Latin,' French, music, rea
ding, writing, drawing and painting."—
Now any person of sense knows that all
these studies are too much for a young
mind. They cannot be learned thorough
ly. They never become of use to the
scholar, in the manner which they are
taught. Young scholars should be first
taught a common English education, and
studies should be given them in rotation.
When they become proficient in one grade,
put them in the nest higher, Pnd so on
until they finish their education, and boast
a• ip or- ith• bbons—an-d
diploma win me 'l gilt
seal. We know many young men and
ladies who possess diplomas from the high
est educational instistutions in the land;
who could not at the present time pass a
third class examination in any one of the
guages—Still_they "w_ent through it
all," and paid their money out for—
what? The most serviceable men and
women of the present age are the ones
=who are_-self-made,or,cia=other_words,the_
persons who worked to earn theii - bTeid - .
in daylight, and in the evening studied in
a small room under a dim light in their
quest for knowledge. They are the prac
tical men of the business world, of the lit
' erary world, and of the scientific and me
chanical world. They are the men of
-brain-r-the-ones-who-daily-make-their
mark in this great world. ' They appre
ciate their condition and know that they
have no wealthy backots, and that they
must carve out tlfeir - own - reputations and
wealth. Let the teachers of the present
day teach children correctly, and not de
stroy their brains with too many studies.
—Ex.
ttee.On Saturday afternoon last, short
ly after dinner, our quiet streets were
made merry by the settling of an election
vager between Mr. Otho Chambers, of
-this place, and_Mt_John_ll. Harbaugh,
of the ' aynesioro 'us me.
The conditions of the bet were as follows
If Horace Greeley was e ecte. rest - ent,
Mr: Chambers was to wheel Mr. Har
baugh through the town, • a distance of
two squares and back, and if Gen. Grant
was elected, Mr. Harbaugh was to do the
same for Mr. Chambers. As the ejection
resulted in fever of the latter, it devolved
upon Mr. H. to do the wheeling, and ac
cordingly, as previously stated, Mr. Cham
bers took his seat on a wheelbarrow in
frost of the Adams House, and was wheel
ed from there to the old foundry and back.
liarbaugh was very considerate for
the oomfort of his passenger, as he had
him well wrapped tip in blankets and a
buffalo robe. The terms of the wager were
easried out to the letter, and Mr. Har-
Laugh in his efforts showed no signs of
"weakening," although Mr. Chamber's
avoirdupois lies in the neighborhood of
200 pounds. Both gentlemen bore the
ordeal through which they had to pass
cooly and looked "terribly in earnest,"
and we believe that one of the conditions
of the bet was,that if either laughed, the
one so offending should pay a forfeit at
the hotel for the benefit of the crowd.—

filiV The General Synod of the Reform
ed Ch arch iu the United Stales convened
in the First Reformed Church of Cincin
nati, Ohio, yesterday, the 27th. This
body meets triennially and is composed of
delegates, ministers and elders from the
different classes of the several Annual
Synods.
Zeii-It is indeed a sad sight at this sea
son of the year for a young man who has
waited outside the church until he is chill

sotne good-fur-nothing rascal, who has
been inside all the time, toasting his sin
ful shins at the stove. Yet such things
often occur.
The Science of Health in speaking
of the horse disease says that if any one
can understand how a human being suf
fering of a bad cold, with cough, nasal
discharge, pain in the chest and soreness
of the throat; should be treated, he ought
to know how to manage a horse affected
with.the same symptoms. True, we can't
administer the warm foot-bath, the vapor
bath, nor the sweating pack, so conveni
ently to horses, nor is it necessary. AS
the horse is accustomed to more simple
habits and can live without artificial beat,
more simple remedial measures will an
swer. But any animal, when sick, can
be treated hygienically, and that is all
that is necessary.
We can at least follow the good advice
which Hippocrates gave more than two
thousand years ago : "11 you cannot do
any good, you can at least avoid doing a
ny harm." We can refuse to bleed, with
-Irohi-tke-drugs, and - give-uature-a-chance,
The sick horse should have a clean room
away from the miasms of the stable, pro
tected from chilling winds, but with an
abundant supply of fresh air:
Once a day the whole surface should
be soon"ed with te tid water and rubbed
thoroughly dry with flannel cloths, and
afterwards covered with a warm blanket.

um..A Western genius has an idea which
is an idea. Ye proposes to arrange church
seats ona pivot, so the devout may more
conveniently examine the toilets of the

increase the value of church property,

has declined to patent his improvement,
and, it is free to all.—Exchange.

lIED - A Carlisle gentleman has erected
in Ashland Cemetery near that borough,
a monument in memory of his deceased
son, a child of tender years, representing
in bronze, an angel summoning the little
boy to his eternal home. The cost of the
monument was $ll,OOO, and it is said to
be perfect as a work of art.'
Mn. EDITOR:—The Franklin County
Teachers Institute meets in Cham bersburg
during the first week in December. Hon.
J. P. Wickersham and other distinguished
men will be there. Every teacher should
attend, provided with note book and pen
cil to record the ideas given by teachers
who have overcome various obstacles in
school lite. Every School Board. should
be represented by six members present—
especially on Directors day. Here they
can discuss school sites, school grounds,
school grades, school studies, school hous
es, school furniture, school aparat us, school
records—in fact everything that will make
a bad or a good school.
The object should not be so much for
ostentation as tier the production of a good
education, to be enjoyed by every indigent
child in the county.
School Directors should obey the law
by visiting schools. They could then take
notes of good or bad sites ; quantity of
play grounds; quality of houses; grading;
clavitication ; methods of instruction; gov
ernment of schools ; qualities requisite in
a good teacher, &c., and then discuss these
at the institute. Parents could learn how
to co-operate with teachers, as well as gain
an idea of what a good school should con
sist.
Much time, much money anti much
thought are spent on election of National,
State and County officers, who are bene
factors to society ; but upon the subject
of education—which is the most import
ant—there is very little interest manifested.
The *time is fully at hand when the
teacher should be respected as well as the
Stott:man, the physician or the Divine.
Unnoticed as the coral, he does a work
,beyond computation. Thrones have been
shaken.by the power growing out of the
teacher's influence. Slowly, but surely,
he revolutionizes. PEDAGOGUE.
