afar A Dress Association is being form
ed a, Springfield, Mass., whose members
propose to wear a neat, sensible style of
dress—and not to change the fashion ex-
cept when an improvement is made. They
will offer premiums for the best designs
for different articles of wearing apparel to
be approved by a committee appointed

committee recommend will he adopted by

pointed annually to examine new designs.
ta..Christopher Craft has been convic
ted at Danville, Va., of the murder of
Dr. Jeffries. and sentenced to be hanged
on the 20th of November next. The cir
cumstances leading to the tragedy were,
as is frequently the case, very absurd.—
The wife of the deceased, while playing
with Craft's children, filled the bat of one
of them with shavings and stuck it on his
head. The child cried, and thereupon a
quarrel ensued between Mrs. Craft and
Mrs. Jeffries. The result of the squabble
was -to bring the two husbands into a
quarrel, when Craft stabbed Jeffries to
death.
CS-The Graphic folks" announce that
they will start their balloon between the
Ist and 10th of September. The balloon
will' be put in readiness, and some fine
evening, when Old Probabilities can prom
ise good weather for twenty-four hours,
Prof. Wise will cut his cable and be off.
He will start at sunset, for the reason
that the air is the quietest at that time.—
In case the balloon should meet with ac
cident or should come down 'through loss
of gas, Admiral Wise and others of the
party, 'with the exception of Prof. Donald
son, will take to the large boat, while the
latter will stand by the balloon to the last
and when the case is hopeless he will re-
Bart to a piper boat.. The parties con
cerned in this enterprise seem to be acting
in good faith, and so sometime in Septem
ber we shnll see what we shall see in the
way of serial transatlantic navigation.—
The voyagers will be limited to four, the
two aeronauts, Wise and Donaldson, an
artist from the Graphic office, and anoth
er gentleman whose name has not been
spade public. The Graphic announces
that there have been a thousand applica
tions foe seats in the aerial car.
Another wolf has lost his sheep's
clothing. Rev. J. M. Schneller has been
for nine years the warden of an asylum
near Dubuque, lowa, for the care and ed
ucation of orphan girls. It is probable
that he procured the position for the pur
pose of carrying on his infamous practic
es. • One little girl was turned out of the
asylum and told of his unchaste solicita
tions, but she was not belieted. Surely
so good a man could do no harm and she
was silenced. The clerical villain kept
his place, and went on with his intrigues,
until a few days since another girl told
the same story to the matron of the asy
lum. The lady had reason to believe
that the child told the truth. The seduc
er was confronted with the proof of his
wickedness and confessed that the accu
sations were true. He lied from the place
:and it is supposed chat he has taken pas
sage for Europe. In view of the frequent
scandals of this kind, it occurs to us that
orphan asylums for girls ought to be con
ducted entirely by women, and that no
man should Ile 'permitted to lodge in the
same building.
FIRE DT MIFFLIN, PA.—Apout 1 o'-
clock on Saturday morning last, a fire
broke out in Milift, and for a time it
uas feared that the entire town would be
destroyed. In about three hours after
the first alarm, the flames were brought
under control. The one side of the public
Square, and two blocks on Main street,•
embracing the business portion of the
town, were destroyed. The Sentinel and
Independent printing offices were among
the buildings burned. The fire originated
in the Sentinel office, and is supposed to
have been the work of incendiaries.
The most successful novel, 'financially
rpz.nakittg, ever written by an American

Itir Three years ago Mr: A. T. Stewart
began a benevolent enterprise very exten
sive, in its,scee. He commenced to build
on Fourth avenue, in New York, an' im
mense •structure which was , to be a cheap
'hotel for the:single and widowed working
women of New YOrk, They were to be
supplied with comfortable rooms and good
fare at prices merely sufficient to pay the
current expenses of the establishment.—
The scheme looked feasible, and recom
mended itself to the hearts of all who
knew of the privations of the thousands
ofsearnstresses and other women whO bare
ly earn enough to keep their souls in their
shrunken bodies. The great building is
now nearly concluded, and now that Mr.,
Stewart has spent nearly three millions
of dollars upon it, the project is consider
ed not feasible. It is believed to be too
unwieldy to be manageable. The hotel
has fourteen hundred rooms in it, and was
built to accommodate two thousand wo,
men, if necessary. Where, asked Mr-
Stewart's advisers, could you obtain the
wisdom and patience and energy sufficient
to govern such an establishment? The
objection seems captious, for the million
aire's wealth can obtain the necessary ex
ecutive ability if he is very much in earn
est in carrying out his original plans.
rEN.Professor Donaldson, the aeronaut,
started from New York at 10 o'clock on
Saturday morning to make a voyage to
Long Branch in the canoe which is to be
used dy the balloon voyager across the
Atlantic.—Two miniature sails were spread
on hambOo mast, with which and a broad
paddle for steering the voyager began his
travels. The lumpy waters of the upper
bay were passed successfully, and the
canoeist spent the night in his boat on the
shores of Station Island. Yesterday morn
ing he resumed his trip in the teeth of a
high sea under a northeast wind. Tem
porary landings were made at Red Bank
and Ccney Island. From the latterpoint
along the coast Long Branch the voyage
was made in a sea that often hid the little
craft - in the -trough. Off the Branch its
strange rig made it the principal object
of interest, and a great multitude collect
ed when it was headed for shore, It
reached the beach without accident until
in the last breaker it was fairly submerg
ed, coming up without its crew freight.
The professional bathers rushed in and
dragged Professor Donaldson out, and
the next wave washed ashore the canoe
and its scattered contents.
THE MAN WHO WINS THE $lOO,OOO.
—Mr. L. H. Keith, the lucky man who
drew the $lOO,OOO prize in the Library
drawing,.accOmpanied by his father; ar
rived in the city from Kingston, Mass.,
yesterday morning, and registered at the
Galt House. He was shown aroma], the
city and thrOugh the Library by Gover
nor Bramlette, and expresssed himself
highly pleased with all be saw.
Mr. Keith held eleven tickets, which
he bought direct from the Library office
last March, and in addition to drawing
the big prize, he held two approximation
tickets, so that his check was made out
for one hundred thousand dollars. He
put the money in bank, taking four drafts
on Boston of $25,000.
The officers of the Library, members
of the press, and a few friends were invit
ed to meet Mr. Keith at the Galt House
at two o'clock, when they sat down to a
sumptuous dinner. Toasts were drank
and replied to, and a general good time
had.
Mr. Keith and his father left on their
return home last night.—Louisville Com

tliiii - The splendor and large extent of
the new hotels in Chicago may be judged
of from the following : The Pacific hotel
is 325 feet by 186 ; the Wilton carpet of
American manufacture, which covers the
hall, is more than a wile long ; there are
twenty miles of wire in the house ; 500
bedrooms, equal in size and quality from
the first to the seventh floor, and it takes
218 servants to attend to the guests.—
There are six acres of carpeting. The
whole cost of the establishment was' $l,
200,000, and the furniture cost, besides,
$400,000.
The new hotel of Mr. Potter Palmer is
almost ready for occupancy. Its cost will
be $2,000,000, and it is claimed to be fire
proof. , All the floors, beams and rafters
are of iron ; patent tile partitions are us
ed, and the marble decorations surpass a
nything of the kind in the world.
INCREASE OF Brans.—An exchange
says that the birds . are more numerous
this year than they have been for several
years, attributes it to the wise laws passed
by the legislature against there wanton
destruction. This is true, and we hope
every person who is found killing an
inseetiverous bird will be fined to the full
amount designated by the law. Birds
are the farmers best friends. It is a fact
that before their wanton destruction com
menced fruit was not attacked by the ap
pleworms, curculio, and the many other
destructive insects we hear solmuch about.
Just in proportion as the birds increase in
number insects decrease, and we prefer
the one to . the other by a long shot.

V.,ZPZIVELL ADDRESS-TO the Pupils oj
the Grammar Sehook-L-My., deaf Young
Friends, toward the close of last term mae
ny of you asked me whether I Would , re .
turn to teach another year;- and though
a
I had desire to do so—to spend another
school term with such kind and pleasant
scholars—the question was one that I
could not answer. It has since been an
swered for me in the negative—an insiver
that greatly surprised me and my friends
—and, I now feel like addressing you a
few parting words, hoping your new teach
er, will read them to you when school re
opens. It would have given me pleasure
to bid each of you good-bye the last time
I was in Waynesboro', but my stay was
too short to allow me to do so. I hope
you will like this just as well..
I don't wish to, flatter, but I must say
that I consider you as fine 'a set of boys
and girls as I have yet had under my
care, and I have been teaching for about
eight years. I cannot think of a single
one of your number that seemed to take
delight in annoying me or the school, as
is sometimes the case ; but I can think
of many who took pleasure in doing their
duty, in being kind to one another, and
in treating their teacher with that kind
ness and respect which teachers so much
like to receive. I assure all such—and
they embrace nearly the whole school—
that their kindness and good behavior
will not soon be forgotten. Some of you
gave afe special little tokens of esteem,
aIITS - Vvlnch I prize as highly as if they
were of much greater worth. I ap
preciate the love of children and think
that the teacher who does not, looses one
of his sweetest rewards. Their friendship
is often more pure, more lasting and less
selfish than that of older persons ; and it
gives me great pleausure to hope, my
dear scholars, that I have some such
friends among your number.
It is my design to devote a year or two
more to hard study, so that I may be able
to fill a higher position than any I have
yet had. Let me dntreat you to aim high.
Strive to excel. You don't know how
useful and honored you may become if
ou but improve your time and opportu
nities to the best advantage. .All great
men and noble women were once boys
and girls like yourselves, and many lack
ed the advantages that you possess. I
hope to he present at some of your future
examinations, and I need not tell you
how much pleasure it would give me to
see you do well—to see that you 'have
made good use of your time during my
absence.
In conclusion, let me ask you to render
your new teacher that respect and obedi.
once which it gives me so much pleasure
to remember. Help your teacher to make
the Grammar School room the most pleas
ant in the building; it can be done. And
now , I will merely add, Please accept
these parting words from one who is your
friend, who loves to remember you as a
school, and who learned to love many of
you as a parent loves his own child. Do
right always. Farewell. J. Zrcx, Jr.
Mn. Enrron.—Your readers of town
and vicinity are not all perhaps aware
that the movement referred to a few
months since for a Public Cemetery on
the land of Mr. Shank, a mile or so south
of town, is still being ptished forward.—
Notwithstanding the inconvenience of the
location, so far at least as the town is con
cerned, the land I understand has been
purchased by an association of gentlemen
of the town and vicinity with h view of
laying out a Public Cemetery. With a
few honorable exceptions, the citizens of
our Bofough object to the proposed loca
tion, and for the encouragement of this
class I make the announcement that mea
sures will he shortly inaugurated for an
other, and at the same time a more eligible
site. It is highly probable that the Burn's
land will be secured for the purpose, but
in case this beautiful spot cannot be ob
tained, some other convenient land will
be selected. A CITIZEN'.
SAD CABE 'OF DROWNING.—About
o'clock Saturday afternoon a sad case of
drowning occurred in the Antietam near
the mill of Mr. Wm. H. Hager. From
the evidence before the Jury summoned
by Coroner J. A. Wright it appears that
Albert Brown a bright lad of seventeen
years, son of Benjamin Brown of this place
went to the creek and with ten or a doien
boys, most or all of them younger than
himself, and were engaged in bathing
when young Brown who ins floating on
his back and was noticed to cry for help
and immediately sink beneath the water.
He rose to the surface several times, but
before assistance reached him he sank to
rise no more. His frightened companions
ran to mill for assistance which was pro
cured and the body recovered but life
was extinct.
The verdict of the Jury was accidental
drowning. _
