GRANT" NOT ELKCTEU. Some of our ex
ultant republican neighbors who have
been crowing so lustily over the election
ofGeneial Grant, will he surprised to
learn that the President who is to adminis
ter the affairs of the Government for the
neit four years is not elected. Most of
them are probably prepared to swear that
t'.iey voted for Grant, but such is uotthe
cise. Tiiev merely voted for some men
called "electors" who are supposed to
be sound ou that smoker. These electors
•
of whom at.umber, equal to the number
of Setiatou and Representatives in Con
gress, are chosen by each State, will meet
at the f'apitols of their respective States,
on the first Wednesday in December,
where they w >il vote by ballot for a Presi
dent and a Vice President. The result of
the vote in each State will be sent by a
special Messenger to the Speaker of the
U. S- Senate, who will in joint convention
of the two bouses of Congress, open the
carefully sealed messages, count the votes,
and announce Ihe result.
Wouldn't it delight our radical friends,
if after all, there should be such a positive
"recognition of the rights ol the coming
man" as the choice by these electors of
Fred, Douglass for President. They
would then be saved any further anxi
etv as to Grant's Demociatic record and
proclivities W hat a delightful consum
mation, indeed! for Sumner and "sicb
like.''
Murder of an Editor.
RICHMOND, NOV 24.—11 Rives Pollard
editor of the Southern Opinion. was shot
and killed this morning at ten o'clock, while
passing near his office by James Grant.
The following are the particulars of the
tragedy : On Saturday a report was pub
lished in the Southern Opinion, relative to
the elopenn-wt of a daughter of A.M. y.
Grant, a wealthy tobacconist of this city.—
This morning about ten o'clock, as Mr. LI.
Rives Pollard, the editor of the Opinion
was near his office door, at the corner of
Main and Fourteenth Streets, and going it.
a shot was fired fiom an upper window of a
building opposite, and Mr. Pollard fell
dead, eleven buckfhota having entered his
body, ai.d one passing through his heart.—
The poliee searched the building and found
James Grant, a brother of the lady named
in a room, lie surrendered himself and
was taken to the station house. A double
barrelled gun, with one barrel discharged,
was found in the room. The atlair creates
great excitement here.
SINGULAR CAUSE OF PARALYSIS.—A
little son of Oscar F. Davis, of Whitehall,
N. Y., died a day or two since of paralysis
induced by the following singular manner :
With several other bys he was in the hab
it of ligi ing his ears on the rails of a rail
road tiack, while others would go off some
distance and pound the track with stones
Every one knows that sound is conveyed
much more rapidly and with much great
er intensity by solid substances than it is
through the air, and by this means a sharp
ringing Sound was produced, completely
deafening the listeners for the moment—in
fact, the boyscall-d rt playing dealening.—
It seemed to have a greater effect on Mr.
Davis' boy than on the others, for, as he
stated after he was taken sick, the deafness
would sometime* last for half an hour.—
He was finally taken with a dreadful pain
in the head, terminating in paralysis of one
side of the head and throat.
•'HK 1)IKD POOR!"—So the world says
when some poor mortal dies alone and for
gotten,with no kin 1 lundto s-no th hit bat
or close bis eye* when "his work is done."
"He died poor!" the world a\s, and yet
perhaps he was rich ;it may not have
been m gold, stocks or lands, but what is
far better, tich in having stored his mind
with that knowledge "which passeth un
derstanding," and fit# him to enter a high
er and better existence; in the memory of
a thousand acts of kindness, "whose fruit
eternity alone shall bring forth." Better,
far better, to die alone and unnoticed with
these memories, than be worth millions
earned by oppressing the poor and needy
ones of earth, and the thought that your
money cannot give you one hour, when
the day of death draws near, wherein to
redeem the errora of an ill apent life.
The largest man in Kentucky (Win
G, Willia) has just died at his residence in
Boone county, in that State, of apoplexy.
He was sick but a few hours. His age was
48. He was without doubt the largest
man in the Mate, weighing 500 pounds on
the day of his death. His average weight
varied during the last few years from 520
down as low as 490 pounds, but he was
weighing even 500 pounds at tbe day of
his death. He was keeping toll-gate at
the time of his death, and the passers-by
had to go to him to pay their toll instead of
bim going to them. Of late years he has
been in Barnum's Museum, in New York,
and left there about the time tbe Museum
was burned last fall.

The "Key Stone Academy."
It i* conceded by educators generally,
that high schools, nculeinirs ana college*,
in order lo be p t rmsm-mly successful,
must be under the control of a religious
denomination. The history of s:ch insti
tutions warrants the assertion.
Influenced by this f*?t, and feeling the
want of educational advantages, thellap
tists are about to establish a high-scnool at
lactory ville, in this County, under the au
spices of the Abington, Bridgewatcr, and
W voming Associations, and to be called
the "Key Stone Academy.''
A Charter was obtained fron our State
Legislature at its la.-t session, vesting its
management in a board of twelve trustees,
teceri of whom arc to be members of the
Baptist Church.
Ihe above named Associations, at their
jast annual meetings, complied with a pro
vision of the Charter, viz; that each one,
by the payment of §SO annually, may be
represented by three trustees of their own
appointment.
The citizens of Factoryville have taken
hold of the en:erprize with a will, and
have pledged SIO.oOJ towards it, and say
they will double the amount, if necessary.
A beautiful site, on an eminence within
a half mile cf the borongh has been pro
cured, and it is confidently expected that
in less than a year, a good school inlerme
diatc between the common school
and the college, will be in succesful opera
tion.
The shares are fixed at $25, eutitling
the holder to vote iu the election of trus
tees, officers, <kc. The undersigned is au
thorized to receive subscriptions to this in
stitution. It is hoped that the citiz>-ns of
Wyoming County will patronize this school
and make it an honor to Northern Penn
sylvania.
A. JUDSON FIRMAN
The Negro Bureau to be Continued.
The following telegram, from Washing
ton, appeared in the newspapers of last
Tuesday, viz:
Reports from our agents of Abe Freedmen's Bu
reau in Dearly ail the States have been received at
the headquarters. The last one received was that of
(ten. Hatch, Assistant Commissioner of Louisiana.
In common with the rest, he urges the continuance
of the Bureau on the ground that it is neressary for
the welf-.c of the negroes.
Tbi9 is equivalent to an official an
nouncement, made on the day of the elec
tion when it could not affect the result,
that the infamous Freedmen's Bureau is to
be continued. "Reports have been re
ceived from nearly all the States" and the
agents urge ' the continuance of the Biv
reau on the ground that it is necessary for
the welfare of the negroes." It is more
necessary for the "welfare" of the agents
than the negro. It furnishes them with
good fat offices, and places it in their pow
er to plunder the unfortunate white peo
ple of the South. Besides this, it is "nec
essary" to the life cf the Radical party in
the South, for without the Bureau to man
ipulate and control the negroes, that par
ty would not have an existence in tliak
section. Very likely it is, "necessary for
the welfare ot the negroes," for it clothes,
feeds, and educates them at the expense of
the tax-payers in the North. From the
price it costs, it ought to prove very
greatly to their welfare. We hope the
people ol the North will be Satisfied with
this state of thing, tor it is their work.
The Bureau, which costs several millions
a year, is to be continued for four years
longer, (or that point was gained by the
election of Grant. It may be that the
tax-payers after a while, will begin to
squeal, as the mouey is drawn from their
pockets to support negroes, but we hope
they will bear it with becoming resigna
tion,'for they voted for the Bureau last
October. The prospect ahead is particu
larly cheeiing ot poor men, who make a liv
ing by their daily toil, and they, no doubt,
will be glad of the opportunity to give a
portion ot each day's labor to support the
idle, worthless, negroes of the South.
They have gained this by the late election,
and we wish them joy of it This is the
"peace' they were promised.— Doylestown
Democrat.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe Converted.
We hear from Florida that Mrs. Beech
er Stowe, the authoress of "Uncle Tom's
Cabin," who a year or two ago bought a
place on the St. John's River near Jack
sonville, says she wants to live long enough
to write another bvok to correct the mis
takes of "Uncle Tom," and show that a
great blunder was committed when slavery
was abolished. From originai condi
tion of sentimental attachment to the ne
gro, she lies lapsed into a state of uncon
querable dislike and aversion. She will
not have them about Iter, either in d<-or
or out. She turned them all oft'her place,
and allows no one with a black skin to ap
proach her. We are told that an acquain
tance of ours sought to send her a mes
sage by a black stewardess on board a
steamboat, but she refused to allow tiie ne
gro to approach her. Her mind, as we
hav been credibly informed, is very much
inftamed against the negro; and this prob
ably, from comparing their efficiency and
apitude to the whites. Her fancy picture ot
tbe African has been spoiled, and her sen
timental affection has turned, in conse
quence, lo violent aversion. Like Squecrs,
tbe milk of human sympathy in her bos
om has turnea to curds and whey.—Ma

QUKKR SPECTACLE.—Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe appears to have rather lib
eral ideas on religion. She says:
"I think if the different churches of a city
would rent a building where there should
be|a billiard table, one or two nine-pin al
ley NU reading room,a garden,and grounds
for ball playing and innocent lounging that
they would do more to keep their young
people from the ways of sin than a Sunday
school could. Nay, more, I would go fur
ther; I would have a portion of the buildiug
fitted up with scenery and a stage, for get
ting up ot tableaux or dramatic perform

A white woinar. left her husband

CORRY O'LAN US" EPISTLE
On a Strange Subject.
DKAK FAULK ;
nd you ever notice what a -itnilaiity ]
there sometime* IS between tlie trails of
some remarkable people and others.
Mr. Iteechi-r ••oserved ih- other eve
ning in a familiar chat with Sunday j
School that lie u-ed to go lo sleep in '
church when In- wa- • h >v.
So did I
The only differences between our ca-e*
is that ii was his tatln-r who used to
preach him to sleep, anv tath-.r used to
wake me up.
That ts. if he happened to wake h fore
I did.
Lly observation and practice, however, 1
generally hit upon the particular part of
the service when the old gentleman Would
wake up anil anticipated him by a few
seconds.
I hen when lie opened his eyes be would
meet the sorrowful an l reproving 'glance
of his offspring.
Hut my calculations could not always
be relied upon. (htr neighbor in the
next |>ew night snore a little louder than
usual, or a fly might buzz around the old
gentleman's nose and wake him up before
his time, which was sure to make him
mad and he would take it out in waking
me up.
I agree with Mr. Beecher that church !
pews are much more comhmahh fitted up
now than they used to he.
Stili they might he improved.
The backs are too low.
lliey should either be built higher or
have head rests like those attach d to har
her s chairs to give you an easy shave, and
which \ou can raise "r lower as vou pre
fer
I recommended this style of seat to the
Ijong Island Historical Society some vjears
ago, and they said they would adopt it
wlien they put up a building of their own.
Mrs. O'Lanus thinks people hadn't
ought to sleep in church.
It they can't keep awake they should
stay at home.
And she wanted to know what good a
sermon did anybody it they slept all i
through it and didn't hear a word of it ?
lo which I responded bv asking her
another conundrum : \Vhat good did a 1
sermon do a person who heard every word
of if, but Coitldii t tor the lile >.f tliein make
out what it was about?
She gave it up.
So did I.
The church lias attractions wh c!i draw
people iu spite of the preaching.
Not to reflect on the 1 .die- !>v hinting
at the fashions, there is the mu-ic.
i like music
After the Collapse of the Philharmonic
Society and in the d' arth of opera, church
music is not to be despised.
Besides you can have it on Sunday,
when there are no other entertainm -nts
going uu.
The qucrtettc singing in some of the
churches is ready verv line.
The ciiureh choir is coming to be re- i
garded as the the opemlic stage
and concert room.
It i* a very good school.
W hen I was a boy all bands in the
church used to pitch ia when the tune
started and swell the note of piaise.
And a heavy swell it was.
But that was in the davs when they
didn't br.il I several hundred thousand dol
lar churches, with twenty hundred thous- ■
and dollar organs and twelve thousand a
year preachers
The people had to do their own sing--
i ing. They couldn't affor l a fifteen linn—
| dred dollar soprano, a twelve hundred a
year tenor, a thousand dollar baritone, arid
an eight hundred dollar contralto, or tn
I organist with diamond sleeve hut'o->s.
We have improved much since then in
piety as in others things.
Tliev had no pew auctions in tho.-e
days.
The go-pel hadn't been exhausted tlien,
and the ministers didn't have to fall back
on politics
The Episcopalians were undisturbed by
i Ritualism, were not affiicte I with Tyngs.
or S'.ubbses, or Bocg-es.
Methodist deacon* could chew tobacco
i without fear of being overhauled by the
I Conference
The Reformed Dutch Church was not
I ashamed to be called Dutch.
And Long Island was innocent of a
Bishop.
Hut the doniinees then had their fail
ings.
They hadn't as much respect for the
feelings of sinners of refined tastes and deli
cate sensibilities.
They used to preach more sulphur, and
you used to hear a good deal more about
the Devil than yon do now.
| Excuse my mentioning tins shocking
personage, who is seldom teferred to now,
and when lie is, it is in an indirect and
more delicate way.
There was certainly a lack of refine
ment in those good old days, that would
be quite shocking now
Our preaching like our pews has been
! velvet cushioned, anil are no more like
| the old siyle than the upholstered seats
are like the plain oak benches, Henry
Ward and I slept on in the days of our
youth and innocence.
< luce in awhile the old spirit of John
j Knox breaks out, and the pulpit echoes
with au honest outburst of indignatipn at
the wickedness of some men, and the tol
; oration of wickedness by everybody else.
That was a bully sermon tny friend
Beecher preached last Sunday.
Some of his congregation must have
felt bad.
How are we to become perfect if we
tolerate sinners?
If tor instance men who have grown rich
in government office, while whisky frauds
have flourished under their noses, and the
revenue been defrauded, can not only sit
in the sanctuary, hut be elders in the
church.
It periodical financial insolvency at the
expense of confiding creditors is not re
garded as inconsistent with holding the
l places of highest tru.-t in the church.
If huckstering politicians who can af
ford to pay a high rate of pew rent can
compel the minister of God, the messenger
of truth, to recant his honest convictions
publicly expressed, lest tbey might hurt
the prospects of a political party.
There is a great deal of wickedness in
this world, and according to history there!
always ha been.
We can't find the millenium by looking I
baekwaros, so we might as well look ahead i
for the good time coming.
It would be a good thing to make every
body good, but the trouble is to know
i where to begin.
They found the w'ekedest man in New
York, and tried to convert him, bnt this
enterprise was a failure.
It it had succeeded it would have been
; a starting point. The next wickedest man
might have been taken in hand, and then
the third wickedest, and so on until the
good men were reached.
After all tlie wicked men had been con- I
verted, the wicked women could be taken
in hand.
That would be an easy job. Mrs.
O'Lanu* says there wouldn't lie anv wick
ed women, if it wasn't for the m>-ri.
Then there would he no more wicked
boys to go to sleep in church, play cat on
the sidewalk, make bonfires out of ash
I barrels, throw stories, or grieve their
mothers by tearing their trousers climbing j
fences.
The break-down on the wickedest man j
in .New Yoak spoiled this plan, of coin
| iiiencing at the lowest round of the social j
j ladder.
How would it do to try a commence- j
j merit at the other end, and begin in the
church?
Yours improvingly,

Ihe President's Salary.
;
The New York Sun (Radical) speaks
about raising the l'resideut's salary,
thus:
"The proposition is being revived, in ;
view of Gen. Grant's accession to the j
Presidency <>f the United States, of in -
crea-ing''he salary of the office fr<>ni its'
present amount, $25,000 to SIOO,OOO j
jor thereabouts. \V- hope nothing of j
; the kind will be done, or even seriously !
I considered by Congress.
In the first place, the 25,000 now allow
;ed by law is not the whole of the money
, paid by the nation tMvard the President's
private expenses He hai a house free of
rent, warmed and kept in repairs for him
without eharge The furniture of the
house is also provided, and in one way or
! other his servants' wages are paid out of
the public treasury. His garden, from
which his table to a great extent is sup
plied, is taki n care of by a public gardener.
In addition, every little while extra ap
propriations are made for special purposes.!
Taking ail these things together, the Pres
ident really receives much nearer $50,1)00 1
than 25,000.
As a matter of fact, the salary now paid
has always proved amply sufficient. Mr. j
j Filmore, Mr Pierce and Mr. Buchanan
made handsome savings while in office.—
Abraham Lincoln saved CO,OOO out of Ins
four years' allowance, ami Johnson w ill
retire with a nearly equal amount It can
easily be seen that when nothing is to be
met but marketing bills, keeping a pair of
horses, and a cost of a tew entertainments,
$25,000 will go a long way.
But the conclusive argument on the,
subject is, that we do not want a President
of a Republic like ours to set an example
of luxury and ostentation to his fellow-cit
i izens. What if he cannoPvie in display
with foreign ministers, whisky speculators. j
gold and stock gamblers, and parvenus
' generally ? His 25,000 a year will cer- !
tainly provide him, and his family with
comfortable c'othing, wholesome food, and
leave a little over for pocket money. - j
There is no danger of an v lack of able and |
i upright patriots to take the office, even at
this rate of pecuniary remuneration.''
The Revolution in Cuba.
Hut little is known here of the progress
|of the levolution in Cuba, the authorities |
of the Island being careful to permit the
publication of nothing which gives a prop
ier idea of the difficulties. The Baltimore
Gazrtle has the following extract from a
letter dated Havana, Oct. 29th.
"You already know that the inhabitants
of" the eastern part of the Island have ris
en iu at ins and proclaimed the indepen
dence of the Island. The government
has sent about ten thousand soldiers to
! check the revolution, but until the present
it seems they have been able to do little
jor nothing, on account of the difficulties
the troops find in marching through un
settled districts with covered rocks and
wooJs, ami w here many men are lost
without seeing the enemy. Whole com
panies have often been obliged to run for
i their lv. 3 without having fired a single
shot. Our papers publish every day ac
counts of the victories obtained by the
! royal troops, but we well know what this
means, for though we read that so many
of the enemy were killed aud wounded
and so many prisoners taken, we find in
the same account that the killed and
! wounded were taken by the rebels, who
; could not be overtaken in their precipi
tate flight. In another part of the paper
we are told that one piisoner was taken
and marched through the nearest town,
which proves that taken prisoncis is a rare
occurrence with our brave troops. Our
present victories are similar to those ob
i tained in St. Domingo, and the result will
probably be the same. The Government
lis doing everything in its power to crush
the revolution, but it has not the means to
do it effectually, and no help can be ex
peeled Irom the mother country. We do
not yet know what will be the result of the
present conflict. No business it done in
I the city. Money is so scarce that even
our national bank can&ot cash its notes,
and the Utter can only be changed for
1 gold at the stores at 4 or 5 per cent, dis
count.

The Newspaper as a Teacher.
A school t-acher™ who had <-nj .yt*J
the benifit of a long practice of hi* pro!
sion, ann had watched closely the influ
ence of newspapers upon the minds of a
family of children, states as the results of
his observations that, without exception,
those scholars of both sex s and all ages
who have access to newspapers at home,
when compared with those wh > have no',
are :
1. Better readers, excellent in pronunci
ation, and consequently read more undcr-
S standingly.
2. They are better spellers, and define
words with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowledge in
; geegraphy in almost half the time ii re
quires otheis. as the newspaper lias made
them familiar with the location of impor
tant places and nations, their governments
ami doings.
4. They are better grammarians, for,
having become so familiar with everv va
i riety of style in the newspaper, from com
monplace advertisements to the finished
arid classical oration of the statesman,
I they more readily ceniprehend the me.ui-
I ing of tlie text, and consequently analyze
! its coi.rtruction with accuracy.
c. Thev write better compositions, using
j better language, containing more thoughts,
l still more clearly expressed.
From these simple facts three impor
tant things can he deduced :
1. The responsibility of the press in
I supplying literature which shall be both
healthful in tone and tike wise understand
; ingly expressed.
2. The absolute necessity of personal
supervision of a child's reading by bis pa
rents.
3. Having once got a good, .abic paper,
no matter what the price, don't begrudge
it a healthy support.

Hung Three Times.
The Reese liiver (Nev.) lirville , gives
the following account of a horrible I ung
ling exeeut.ou of Ruths B Anderson, in
Austin, on the 20ih nil:
"Stepping upon the trap, his hands and
feet were bound, the noose slipped over
bis bead, and the cap drawn over his face,
and at the signal the trap fell, and the
wretched young man lav stretched upon
the ground. Tin- knot had slipped through
the noose. There was a wild cry and a
rush forward of the crow-j, but ii. was kept
back by the guard. Anderson was tar
ried on the platform, the noose was once
more adjusted around Lis neck, and tin
trap fell. The knot slipped again, and
Anderson was pioalrate and insensible. It
was simply hoirible. He was carried lip
the sitps of the platform and sealed in a
chair, his face wearing the pallor of the
grave tf>rn which In- had been snatched
twice. Ihe rope was adjusted the third
time, and as the trap fill In- swung free,
aud after a slight muscular movum-nt of
several minutes he had gone into eternity.
Dining the terrible Oideal tiie nerve exhib
ited by the young man Kulu B. Anderson
was wonderful.'
A MOTHER.— Around the idea of one's
mother the mind of man clings with fond
affection. It is the first dc-ar thought
stamped upon our infant heart, when yet
soft and capable of receiving the most pro
found impressions, and all the after feelings
are more or less in comp.ui*on. Our
passions an i our willfulness mav lead us
far fiottt the object of our tilia! lore ; we
may become wild, headstrong and angry
at her counsels or opposition ; hut when
death has stilled her monitory voic", and
nothing' hut calm memory remains to re
capitulate her virtues and good deeds, af
fection, like a flower beaten to the ground
by rude storms, raises up her head and
smiles, amidst her tears, Round that idea,
as we have said, the mind clings with
fond affection ; and even when the earlier
period of our loss forces memory to be si
lent, fancy takes the place of remembrance,
and twines the image of our departed pa
rent with a garland of graces, and beau
ties, and virtues, which we doubt not that
she possesses.
AN IDLE DRKAM. —For a man to think
that lie is going to do the work of his life
without obstacles and opposition, is to
dream in the lap of folly itself. W hat
would we amount to were we compelled to
feel our way, to fall down and get up
again, and learn that our theories are nev
er according to the law of nature, hut the
object of our limited perception • upon the
untried and unreal ? We are, however,
not to be discouraged on this account; we
arc rather to be more satisfied of its being
good and right for us, for ir. adversity and
opposition we are tried ; and trials are no
thing more than tests of nature, Up from
below we go above We are but the pro
ducts cf the lower conditions. Our expe
rience is merely' passing through tne
changes and would he just no experience
at all if we could manage to escape alto
gether. We ought not to complain when
we see how all things work together for
good.
