Parry is making suitable prepara. rations for his Ascension on Saturday nest.—; It will take place at half-past 12 o'clock in the afternoon, from the vacant let of Mr. Jos Ilanse, near the Odd Fellows' Hall; From what we learn from Mi. Pusey, lie appears to be de- i :tertained that nothing but an unavoidable ac cident will keep him' from leaving terra firma for the upper. regions. So all that wish to see Posey in his Balloon, Van Arnburg and Ilider algo in the cages, playing with the Lions, Ti• gers, and Panthers—Lcbides many other' cut im • shies, in and out of the 111criageric—&liould not fail to be in town on the above day. Reported Suicide IVe learn that on Sunday the 27th October, a young female, 14 years cf age, named Mad, who resided with a Mr. 111 , 71btrgfr, in Upper Hanover township, Montgomery county, com mitted suicide by shooting hersell in the head with a shot -gun. It appears_that2llr_lluin berger and family had left home on a visit that day, leaving the gill and two hired boys in charge of the house. Report has it, that the boys had went to bed during the after- noon and bad nlept until 9 o'clock in the even ing, during which tittle the gi.l 1.1 said to have committed the rash act. The contents of the gun were bloWn into the back part of her head, and when she was found; life was extinct. Doubts appear to rest over this matter which may be cleared up hereafter. Capital and Labor Many discussions have ;niseu in regard lo the contrast between these two powerful sub jects, a variety of ideas have sprung from them. We all know that capital is di(lusive, and that labor is the representative of wealth. There is a great outcry against oppression of capital often made, and high notes of indignation raised by a well-meaning community—yet in many in stances this is not called for. That the poor are in general inimical to the ri.;ll is admitted ; yet we all know that the rich aro dependent in one soara on the poor, and they likewise in return; but the cry of "down with aristocracy," and the like, is not, in a great many cases, ex actly right. The man who is so fortunate as to inherit wealth, and to spread his wealth in va rious ways, and through various eliatfuels, should not be looked upon by the poorer class in a certain light which the lazy and the thrift less place over ono and all of a lucky kindred ; for surely this is wrong,• and he who is no stranger to the beaten path of opinion, can comprehend it. We know that in certain see lain sections of this country the hand of aris tocracy is too heavy—also that the hearts of the wealthy need enlargement—yet this great con• tinual war cry is not the thing. We can all see how the ball is kept in motion and how the power of money conquers—yet both class es are as one link to the great chairs of de,ii ny, for the hundreds of millions which is ex : Fended by every nation springs from capital it self, and what is done with it among labor. Th 9 hundreds of furnaces, for ges, rolling mills, and other factories in opera. lion—the millions and millions of spindles set in motion by the rich, is in behalf of the pool yet the fine old gentleman, Mr. Capital, re ceives many hard knccks, and is awfully abused in every quarter. We all know that ahe poor aro kept down—altogether too much so—yet times aro better than they welt: once, and are growing better still. Aristocracy Is a powerful engine, but labor is after all the es sence of mankind. The laborer is worthy of his hire ;'and the Unite says that the rich and lordly will be be called to lie down with the poor. We hope for a great change between these two classes--n change favorable to the poor—a time to dawn when there will be n o occasion for these outcries and threats.

M. The President being absent, the meeting was called to order by Jonathan Reichard, Vice President. The minutes of the Iwo former meetings were read 'and adopted. The report on Phouotypy and Phonography, was read and adopted. The committee on Arithmetic reported that the best Arithtnetica used in our schools are Davies' and Ticknor's Columbian Calculators. On motion, the committee •on Arithmetic was uontinued,_and requested. to report in a more enlarged and definite form. Two Essays were read. One on the classi fication of schools, by E. sloss, and the other on Orthography and Reading, by S. Watson, A. M.; which Essays were ordered robe publish ed in the papas of our borough. A commit tee was appointed to attend to their publication, consisting of Messrs. C. R. Kessler, J. Richards and A. L. Rube. .

Obscure Writing A fruitful source of perplexity to the piinter, and indeed to everybody else, is the obscure manner in which many persons write their names A proper name is the most difficult thing--in-the4v-orlit to kfccipheoy. if badly writ ten. A common word in a paragraph may be known generally num its necessary connection with the rest of the sentence in whg.ll it stands. But there is no such help in this case. It oft en happens that business men receive orders which they cannot respond to for Oils reason, and instances ale numerous of goods being lost where they we' e consigned to names so obscurely written to an miles as to be mi-tak• en. A most Tema! kable instance of fair auto graphs, considering the number, ale those at tached to the Declaration of Independence of the United Slates. It is seldom so many, oc. cur in a single document, in which so few un readable ones appear. Scarcely anything can be more important than unmistakable Signa tures. Was there ever a specimen to . surpass John Hancock on the document above refer red to ! it stands there to challenge tele admit.- anon of the woild in all coining time. In the autographs of public men not excepting those of bank officers appended to bills, we frequent ly ifiee:t with such as are utterly unreadable.— They would seem to have ve:beett written for puzzles, and they serve that purpose molt ef fectually. It „has been our lot to meet with more than one which did f not contain a single character resembling a letter of the English al phabet. If they were written in crotchets with a view to defy the skill of the counterfeiter, the idea was a mistaken one, for they subserve no such end; a plain, bold, manly handwriting :. Much more embarrassments attempt at fraud.

At present, there is a working connectiOn, through the British channel, across from Devon 'toCalais, a distance, we believe, of abotljfifiy miles. It is not easy to surmise where the invention of the wise men of this ago will slop. Wonders break, upon us every day. A very eloquent, over pious and foolish preacher said, in allu sion to the daring genius of man : "God's iighinings are hired out by the hour for the transmission of telegraphic despatches, and his birds and flowers caught and caged, and ex poses for sale in the market place.". The lan-' guago is rhetorical and the idea ingenious, but it is nonsense. We might as well say "God's water is taken out of the river and conveyed through subterranean pipos and pot into hou ses to minister to die wants of unrighteous men the long stalked, heavily laden wheat is des poiled and ground down into (lest to make Pennsylvania Railroad. loaves to feed greedy and unthankful men, &c.
