Zer The work of constructing the int menseballoon with which Prof. Wise is to attempt to cross the Atlantic ocean is progressing rapidly. The balloon will require 4,310 yards of cloth, The mate: rial is of unbleached sheeting, of a thick, close quality, The crown of the balloon will be doubled for a distance of fifty feet from the top, with 150 yards of the same material, and yet a third thickness will be added, of which 250 yards will be re qUired, This strengthening of the crown of the balloon is rendered necessary by the upward pressure of the gas, which is equal to two pounds to the square inch. The sewing of the seams is performed by a score of girls, and is under the direction of a niece of Prof', W:si, who has had more experience in the building of bal loons than any other woman in the world. "She has been making balloons for me for twenty years," said the Professor• The total amount of sewing to be done to coin ete the present balloon is one li mdred 'and two seams, multiplied by 172 feet, ,length of scum, and about one-third more for.transverse seaming, 41,021 feet, about ; eight miles.

DUTCRMAN'S F.t...NCY.-A. German went into the lottery , office the other day and inquired for ticket No. 9. He either wanted 9, or 99; or 999, or 99,999. But no other number would satisfy him. On inquiry as to his reasons for this particu lar number, the following facts in his life were learned : He came to this country when he was 9 years old. After be had been here 9 years he got married. Nine months after the wedding his wife gave him a child. The baby, vehen 9 days old was christened. He lived with his wife 9 years and during that period his wife presented him with 9 children. Then he had a fuss with her, and she banged him over the head 9 times with the stave of a beer keg, from the effects of which he lay in bed nine days.

OUR BAR ER SHOP.-Our town can now boast as tastefully arranged Barber lop as can per rope be found in the coun ty. The proprietor, Mr. Wm. A.

This week other improvements have been added, viz : Two new barber chairs, solid walnut, and handsomely cush ioned, and also one set of new cane-seat chairs. These were purchased in New York and cost a handsome sum of mon ey. So far as attractiveness and comfort to his patrons is concerned, Mr. Price seems determined to keep pace with the times., He certainly deserves to be liber ally patronized. PREMITATION OF A ertnomo.—The closing scene of the first entertainment given by those connected with the High School Department, was a Tableau ar ranged and executed by the scholars with out, the knowledge of their Principal The curtain was raised exposing to view a picturesque group on the stage. Two young ladies held between them a beauti ful Chromo—of largo :size—entitled the . "Changed Cross," which Mr. Robt., in a neat little address, presented to Mr. Bentz, in behalf of the scholars of the High School, as a testimonial of their apprecia tion of his universal kindness and untir ing efforts for their advancement in knowl edge. The surprise was complete, as the Principal had no intimation of what the scholars liere doing. In a few kind and appropriate retharks he expressed his grat itude to those whose welfare and happi ness it had been his aim to promote. AN Oi.n TREE.—In Adams county, on the Cashtown road, stood a stupendous black oak, Jim Amity generations, which was blown down a few weeks ago by a gentle evening breeze. Tradition says that it had attained the ripe age of over eight score years and ten. Its huge trunk, large limbs and protruding roots were ob jects of admiration for the traveler and the antiquarian. The circumference 'of the trunk measured 17i feet, whilst the area of its branches was unusually large but the tooth of time had hollowed its stalk and nipped its widespreading boughs, yet the skeleton of the giant reveals its greatness of former days. Like many trees it has a history. It was spared from the devastating stroke of the woodman's axe, when the clearing of the extensivalorests of Pennsylvania be gan. The oak is the symbol of durabili ty and may easily be turned into sublim ity, when associated with a tale o' tinge dy as this one is. In the early annals of Penn's woods, it was known as the .oak a gainst which the red man displayed his barbarity by, dashing the heads of sever al little children. In later days it was the favorite haunt of wild bees, and no doubt underneath its shade there was ma ny a wigwam from its nearness to the wa ter. The to was perforated with holes by the wood pecker and flicker . whose long forgotten nests are among the crumbling ruins of that venerable forest tree as it i6s prostrate along the roadside. Outt Smoors.--The second and last public entertainment by the pupils• con nected with the Waynesboro' High School Department, was given on Thursday eve fling last, and, like the former, was a de cided success. Some nine months have elapsed _since Prof. Bentz took charge or the Schools as Principal. The time ,is short, but the fruits• of his• labors are manifest. He, as well as those associated with him as teach ers, had many obstacles to contend with, and this was quite natural under the cir cumstances. The schools, or most of the scholars at least, ad been sadly neglected. Their situation Was one of demoralization. Out of this crude element the schools had to be re•organiied, and this Ives one un- pleasant feature of the first school term under the new order of things. There were other obstacles . in the way, most of which have, however, been happily re moved, so that Principal and assistants wilLenter upon the next term under cir cumstances more agreeable. That he has diligently and faithfully discharged his duties the changed aspect of things for the better fully attests, and we think our people can congratulate themselves on having secured the services of a Principal so faithful and so competent. A corn- inencenient, it may be said, has only made, hut if he is well sustained and pro vided with competent assistants, a few years and the fruits of our school enter prise will be felt, realized as one of the best paying investments ever made by they town. It is Only through good schools com munities become intelligent, and to sus tain such institutions a 'liberal expendi ture of money is necessary. The employ ment of incompetent .teachers to save a few dollars per month is not economy, but the reverse—wasteful if. not sinful. A. very creditable commencement has been made, but tae final success of the school; depend much, in our opinion, up on the character of the teachers to be hereafter employed. As before intimated, if the school is encouraged and sustained as it should be, the good results which will follow will not only be felt in this community, but throughout the neighbor hood. It is alleged that grave mistakes were made, and the school debt thereby un necessarily augmented, in the selection of a site and the erection of the present elll I mg. rant that such has been the case, it is too late to repair these losses, and it is certainly not wise to bemoan the loss of that which is beyond recovery. As friends of education we should rather seek a remedy in the final success of the enterprise. Onn Lams.—The fact that parties during the past week have been actively engaged in leasing ore lands in Washing ton and Quincy townships, has created some sensation. Much as has been said about the untold wealth of these hidden treasures, the owners of these lands I ap prehend do not properly estimate their real value ; and I would suggest that they be not too precipitate in disposing of such lands or leasing them. Consider well be fore taking such a step, or you will repent your folly when it is too late. It is true we have been anxiously awaiting some! thing to turn up by which these vast beds of ore would be developed, but wait a while longer sooner than release your claims for a trifling equivalent. If a Rail is to come, it will come whether you lease or whether you do not. A Railroad with Iron Furnaces along its line would make these two townships stand foremost among the best in the State. But a Railroad with these vast treasures in the hands of foreign captalists, and what would be the result ? Why, all this bidden' treasure would be suddenly transferred to other localities. Those more particularly in terested should meet together and consult for their own interests and protection. learn from reliable authorithy this mis take was made at Mercersburg ; the own ers of valuable lands there were too hasty and leased or disposed of their lands for a trifling .consideration. About 83 per ton has since been realized for the ore, the original owners looking on in poverty and lamenting their folly. I also learn from reliable authority that parties along the line of Railroad, near Mt. Holly, in Cum berland county, realize from. $1,50 to $2,00 per ton for their ore. I therefore repeat the caution, conaer well and know what you are doing before you Make a transfer of your lands into other hands. A LANDHOLDER. ALLEGED OUTRAGE.—Ori Monday last Dr. C. S.

Too IIaNY CLERKS.—A days since a gentleman in an Eastern city—sayi . an exchange—had inserted in a local paper an advertisement for"A clerk, salary mod erate," and the same day received thirty six applications for the position, which number was greatly increased the two fol lowing_, days. . These applications were from youths, young men, , and even mid dle-aged men, many of whom were willing to work for a salary just sufficient to pay their board. This is only an isolated case; during the past air months many such have occurred, but one is sufficient for our illustration. We regret to say that these are bad omens, showing the tenden cy of young men of the times. .All are after "clerkships," no matter what the compensation, the advantages of promo tion—anything to get behind a counter. Now, under . the most favorable circum stances, in five cases out of six, what do'es a clerkship mean ? To be brief, it means always a clerk, and never e a principal.— The best way is to start right in your ca reer with the world—to commence by ac quiring a knowledge of some business in which you can rise to a position of honor and independence. Ent* into it with ambition and the determination to make a success,_Etn_dsith_a_v_eraga_talents, in dustry, energy and self-reliance, you will not fail. To whom are we indebted for our greatest and most useful inventions ? The intelligent, industrious mechanic. A brief sketch will aptly illustrate the general, fate of clerkships. A young man enters a store, or an of fice, at a salary of four or five hundred dollars a year ; in . a few years, by close attention to the business of his employer, he may be. able to command a thousand or twelve hundred dollars a year. Wheth er he receives five hundred or a thousand dollars a year makes no difference, as a general rule, in the amount he saves, He must "keep up appearance," and as he advances in his position, he finds that his personal expenses are also increasing. Fi nally, after years of hard labor and of tentimes of faithful, honest services, he is without warning thrown out of employ. ment. "Business is dull, and we can't af ford to keep you any longer," is the only satisfaction he gets, as he goes out into the world without a dollar, to look for an other clerkship, for each of which there are hundreds of applican time that the young man realizes his mis take he has made, and wishes he had learn ed a trade. He sees, now, that any. expert workman, among the trades, receives more Money • than he has ever received as a clerk, and besides is independent. If he is sober and industrious, he is never "out of work." His expenses are only half as much as those of a clerk, and he saves money to begin for himself in a few years in a business which he understands per fectly. Such a man is on the high road to prosperity. Young men who have not capital to in vest in a line of business in which it is ne cessary to serve as a clerk to obtain knowledge of a business to fit them for the position of proprietor, should avoid clerk ships as a delusion and a snare. Learn a trade—avoid temptation, and be indepen dent. • Evil a OF Gossip.— I have known a country society which withered away all to nothing under the dry rot of gossip on ly. Friendship once as firm as granite dissolved to jelly.,and then away to water, only because of this ; love that promised cd a future as enduring as heaven, and as stable as truth, evaporating into a morn mist that turned to a day's long tears, on ly because of this. A father and a son were set foot to foot with the fiery breath of anger that would never cool again be tween them, only because cf this.; and a husband' and hiA wife, each straining at the hated leash which, in the beginning had been the golden bondage of a God blessed love, sat mournfully by the side of the grave where all their love and joy lay buried, and only because of this. I have seen faith transformed to mean doubt, hope give place to grim dispair, anti char ity take on itself the features of black malevolence, all because of the fell words of scandal, and the magic mutterings of gossip. Great crimes work great wrongs, and the deeper tragedies of life spring from its larger passions ; but woeful and most mel ancholy are the uncatalogued tragedies that issue from gossip and detraction, most mournful the shipwreck often Made of noble natures and lovely lives by the bit ter winds and dead salt waters of slander. So easy to say, yet so hard to refute— throwing blame on the innocent, and pun ishing them as guilty, if unable to pluck out the stings they never see, and to si lence words they never heard. Gossip and slander are the deadliest weapons man has for his brother's hurt.—Er. THE NEW PLow.—A trial of the "sul ky plow," as it is called, took place in one of Laughlin's fields on Friday of last week. The plow, as is known by those who have seen it, carries the plowman perched on a seat in the manner of a sul ky, and has already be.en named the lazy man's plow. We learn that the grourid used on this occasion was rather stony but the "sulky" 'showed its capacity for leap. ing stcines . "and other obstructions as nim. bly as a•kangaroo. Farniers will have nothing to do after while but sit on the fence, was the remark of a sanguine gee? tleman. The farmers present differed in opinion • as to the merits of the invention. So they did about the mowing machine. —.Yetcrille Star. Dift, Butiß.—At the examination of teachers for your town on Monday appli cants for Washington township passed examination. Superintendent Smith said that he was lately at ii;conference of Su perintendents in the School Department, where he suggests the idea that teachers form. themselves into classes and.appoint an able man as conductor in recitations in studies , and theory% This was approved. Teachers trust keep pace with progress or our Normalites will supplant• them, • He wishes them to study the science of the mind. That while ignorant surgeons aro not employed to set a fractured bone, neither should an ignorant teacher at tempt to teach a mind that can become great, useful and good in this life and an ornament in Heaven; if he knows nothing about mind machinery. Teachers should subscribe for Wickersham's Pennsylva nia School Journal—a:journal second to none in the U. S. ' That he will mark teachers next year if they have failed to improte. But Mr. S. forgot when he ex acted so much front the teachers to turn about and admonish the directors—touch the organ of benevolence—se that they can get down into the pocket where the $5O bills exist and give one to a good teacher every four weeks—be forgot to tell them that they drive good teachers off and leave the "broken bone" to be set by quacks. A TEACIIER. RELlCS.—Several days ago Hahle, Poe & Co. of Le4ersburg, bought from Dr. Smith of this place, o.niougst other iron, four old cannon, weighing 10,000 pounds, one of which was filled with balls.

The murder of Charles Goodrich in Brook lyn last winter was one of the most mys terious of tragedies. He was a wealthy bachelor, of good social relations, though mixed up in more than one disreputable connection, and resided alone in an ele gant house. He was found dead on the floor one morning,. with several pistol wounds in his body, and no ,traee of the perpetrator of the crime existing, save in the empty weapons by his side and some bloody towels near by. Opinions were divided as to whether it was a suicide or a murder, several persons were arrested, but they could not be implicated, and the ingenuity of the police seemed to be at fault. They have, however, had various suspicious characters under surveillance, and the arrest of one of them has led to a confession of the crime. She is a woman who had been a mistress of Goodrich's.— He had determined to cast her ofF, and in revenge she shot him dead on the day he ordered her to leave him. Kato Stoddard, (for that is the name the woman gives,) Proves to be Minnie Waltham, of Middleborough, Mass. where her parents are living. In her confession she says shot Goodrich with one of his revolvers which she had in her pocket while he was stooping down on one hand and knee in the act of lighting the heater, but not until after she had repeatedly be sought him on her knees not to cast her off, and he refused her request or to hear her at all. PERSONAL.—The Philadelphia Press of July 9, contains the following paragraph: . Rev. John W. Nevin, D. D , on whom Union College has just conferred the de gre;e of L. L. D., is the President of Frank lin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pa., and an Alumnus of Union College of the class of 1820. He is best known in the theological world as the founder and head of , what, is: . the "Mercersburg School of Philosophy." Taking little part in the popular ecclesiastical movements of the day, and still less in the "religous politics" of any denomination, he is, per haps, better known to the theological mind of Europe both English and Conti nental, Protestant and Catholic, than any Protestant clergyman in this country.— This degree has been once or twice before offered Dr. Nevin by Colleges of his own church, but declined, lest his great per sonal influence mighteibe supposed to have unduly influenced the nation of an insti tution of his own denomination. Although Dr. Nevin has never held any charge or position in Philadelphia, as the leading scholar and divine of one of the strongest religous denominations in Pennsylvania, his name is familiar and honored. here.
