CIMIN.—The Instructions for the Ninth

" Children and youth absent for purpose of educallote
on the Ist f June, tind having their how inn family

The large number of persons habitually :Oise
. om their family homes for purposes of ethieath
toilers the observance of Instructions a mt
or of great Importance.
This rule will embrace, not only students of col
eges, academics, &c., who board and lodge with
some family of the town, but also those will, oc

towns, to which they habitually return at night.
It will, therefore, be incumbent upon Assistant
Marshals of sub-divisions In whleh such iniditn

The iniarbitants who lice at the east end of the

moved just now on the ghost question, and the ex
citement consequent, thereon slice things to their
deepest depths. As our informant hos It, on Sat

as an honest, industrious and reliable teamster,
named Flynn, was on hls way homeward, In NEB-

After a few moments of terror anti suspenss, the
mysterious form turned towards the astoni4ed

cruelty, of which the following is a summary 1—
" About two years and seven months ago she was

living), who threw her into the feeder that sup
plies the canal, where site was drowned. Ile then

ONE OF Tun SADDEST things that over came
under my notice (said the banker's clerk) was
there in Corning during the war. Dan Murphy
enlisted as a private, and fought very bravely.
The boys all liked him, and when a wound by
and-by weakened him down till carrying a musket
was to heavy work for him, they clubbed together
and fixed him up as a sutler. Ile made money
len, and sent It always to Ws wife to batik for
him. She was a washer and ironer, and knew
enough by hard experience to keep money when
F 1 u got It. She didn't waste a penny. On the
contrary, she began to get miserly as her hank ac
count grew. She grieved to part with a cent, poor
creature, for twice In her hard-Working life she
had known what it was to be hungry, cold, friend
less, sick, and without a dollar In the world, and
:he had a haunting dread of sutlaring F o again.
Well, at last Dan died ; and the boys, In test
molly of their esteem and respect for him, tele
grape(' to \tre. Murphy to know If she would like
to have him embalmed and sent home, when you
know the usual custom was to dump ri'poor devil
like him Into a shallow bole, and then inform his
friends what had become of him. Mrs. Murphy
moped to the conclusion that It would only co
two or three dollars to embalm her dead husband,
and so she telegraphed Yes." It was at the
"wake" that the bill for embalming arrived and
was presented to the widow. She uttered n wild,
sad wail, that pierced every head, and said:
"Sivinty-folve dollars for stain' Dan blister I heir

commencement. We are pleased to note that
one of the most active in this respect is Lafayette
College, at Easton, in our own State. The stu
dents, two hundred in number, arc arranging for
the festivities of the class-day, always nn inter
esting and lively feature at this Institution, while
the professors arc busy In perfecting such other
details as will make the coming commencement
one of great attractiveness and special historical
value.
Since lira very material enlargement of Lafayette
College; the accessionsto the number of Its faculty,
the erection of elaborate hails and laboratories for
the accommodation of every class of scientific
students, the ornamentation of Its grounds, and
the general completion of a design in accordance
with one of the most liberal of modern endow
ments, the alumni, and the vast army of friends
of the institution, are warmly enlisted in Its be
half. To attract these at each annual COMIIICIIVe
uncut, and tile hosts of others interested in classi
cal and scientific attainment, is the uppermost
desire of the authorities and students. 'We learn
that one of the features of the commencement will
be the publication and sale of a compendium of
college history, the authorship of which belongs
to the senior class. This volume will possess a
charm for every altimme , , and we anticipate for it
a large sale.
Apropos to tins, the return of President Callen
from his European tour, covering a year's space,
Is expected oaout the middle of the month. He
will be made the:reciptent of a magnificent ovation
by the authorities and students of the college. It
will be remembered that a year ago, on the eve of
his departure, the trustees of the institution and
several of our leading citizens gave to the presi
dent a recherche entertainment at the Continental
Hotel, where the "good-byes" were frequent and
the " God speeds" ardent as the warmest friend
ship and the highest appreciation of literary
worth could make them. The presence of Presi
dent Catte . ll at this commencement will prove a
source of great pleasure to all his friends."

The itituhwss anti hospitality of the . genial host
made, the occasion a most delightful one, anti the

The address of Prof. Richards, which was a
very humorous one, was followed by the order for
supper, and the magnificent appearance of the
table excited the unqualified admiration of the
guests, who, in a very short time, showed more
substantial tokens of their approbation by their
strict attention to the business of clearing it.
Addre.e,
To say that everybody enjoyed tlietnselves thor
oughly would be superfluous, for with such a
host and hostess, and in addition to their warm
greetings, the delightful music nod the society of
the assembled guests, It could not be otherwise
than an enjoyable occasion to nit the fortunate
participants. •
This ohyashioned house-warming is a glorious'
Institution—productive of hospitality and kindly
feeling. The host and hostess who practiced It
so liberally on the occasion succeeded In not only
giving their friends an enjoyable eyening,but also
In the harder task of making them all feel "at
home." Thus the Inauguration was a' complete
success, and we trust that it may he a truthful
augury of a happy Milne.

lii reading the correspondence of travelers In
the Indian country, we arc frequently surprised
that human beings should be called by such odd
names as Heil Cloud, Spotted Tall, Little Dog,
fu rac Engle, &c., &c.
Now, far the sake of learning how the transla
tion of our names would sound, let us suppose
that ,4uddenly there should he a transition of the
p, o ple here from civilization ttnd en'ightenment
to harhatioto, and of the Indians from their pres
ent savage state to culture and learning. A cor
respondent, say of the Cillloll Herald, traveling
through oar barn:trout+ country, would report to
his world-renowned sheet that, In the City of the
Town of Alien, Ile made the acquaintance of a
certain Jacob Stand-wagon; who was to Very
obliging kind of barbarian, and that in company
tv ith John Big-head, William Pigeon-bacon, Absa
lom Earthman, Michael Cheek-push, Henry To
clean, Adam Three-foot, Ellezer Whip-lash-luau,
Peter :Icrat eller, Edward 6iountain 7 stalk, Eph ,
ra 101 'Tearing-rhinos-to-piece , , UcuJaunin Fat-man,
Ludo% ig Won:len-stone, Ernest Dear-Ulan and Mi
litia, Cingit ler he mode a survey of our city and
suburb:.
That at au evening . Nit). he sae• among other
fair damsels, though barbarians, Miss Sling,
maker, Mho lintter-rusk, Miss Calf-foot, Miss
Purr-oil, Miss Sledge, Mien Pull-at-the-foot, Miss
Yard-man, - Miss Living-In-the-street, Miss Hem
venly-rieh, Miss Tease-the-barrel, Miss Cut-stone-
Miss. lAttle-orook-linger, Miss Oats-stack, Miss
Precious-man, Miss. Sheep-slable,'Mles Hard-as
iron, and Miss Field-full-of-little-woodeu-phis, and
that ; after spending an evening as pleasabtly as
possible among these aridly-named persons; and
after a refreshing sleep In one nf our largo and
elegant tents, he made a more extended tour Into
the country, to a vicinity 'celled Leather Corner
Pot, where he met the Big's, the Snails, the
Birds, the Good-secret-art's, the Threshers, the
Righteous-hearts, and the Cutting-otf-the-tails ;
after which he returned in a rather round-about
waythrough a place called by the natives (Wum
thelsdorf) or Murmuring-little-town. With what
wonder and surprise would the enlightened Indi
ans read our odd names, and aek for en explana
tion of such oddity, while so many senalblenames
arc lying about loose, which would need 'but a
simple picking up: The fact is, names were
better not translated too much.
