Thundering, we consider a veryapplicable expres

A V lIIIT/SEMENTB FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
Now Is the time to advertise, to make an active
holiday and winter trade. Don't be content with
knowing that you are personally popular and well
known ; but persist In the public becoming ac
quainted with the goods you offer for sale, and the
advantages they gain in dealing with you. If you
are already well and favorably known so much the
better for the effect of your advertisement, and if
you arc not known to the purchasing public the
first thing you want to do is to make yourself
known. 'And to do that la Allentown and Lehigh
county there is no other 60 good way as to adver
tise in THE. CHRONICLE and THE REGISTER.
NE :w enunctr.—The new church of the
German Evangelical Association In the First
Ward Is fast nearing completion. The walls have
been built, and the woodwork has already received
the first coat of paint. The basement In which
the Sabbath School will bu held will seat about
one hundred scholars ; adjoining the Sabbath
Schoor room are class rooms. The second story
will soon be ready for frescoing, and the scaffold
ing, has already been erected. It Is expected to be
thibilied sonic time, in February, :and when corn
, piste wilt cost 'about $BOOO, and will be a commo
dious and handsome church, capable of seating
between three and four hundred persons. William
White has the contract for erecting the building.
Ovinots.—Our oyster dcalets account for
an advance In the retail price of the bivalves by
saying that the price to them has lately been ad
vanced fourteen cents per hundred. This is un
fortunate for those who like oysters as an article
of food, and we hope that the prices will coon re
turn to their old figures. It is a little Klagular,
however, that while the prices arc advanced here
they are reduced at Boston. We notice In our
Boston exchanges numerous advertisements of the
best oysters at $1.40 per gallon, which is forty
cents per gallon less than the usual retail price in
that market. If oysters are unusually scarce and
high at . Baltimore, Norfolk and other oyster marts
It Is strange that the Boston dealers have not heard
of It.' •
CIMUM IMPROVENIENTH.—The work at the
English Lutheran church on Filth street Is pro
gressing rapidly. The plastering of the basement
has been finished, and it le now ready for paint
log. Up stairs the seaffolding has been erected,
and the workmen are tearing down the old ceiling
and preparing for frescoing. The church is ex
pected to be finished about the latter part of Feb
ruary. And when finished it will be a great Im
provement and one of the finest churches In the
city. The Society Is building a very fine parson
age adjoining the church. It Is three stories high,
with pressed brick front, and Is to have all the
necessary Improvements. It is to be finished about
April, and will make a pleasant and commodious
residence for the pastor.
The members of the English Reformed church
are about adding a Sunday School room to their
church and are excavating the cellar for that pur
pose. The openings for the windows have been
cut, and the sashes put In. It Is expected to be
finished in the latter part of next month.
Tun : 4 Amsnuttf Titminim—An inquest
was held by Coroner Bush Tuesday week In the
case of Alice Berger, who died at Salisbury on
Friday evening week. The Jurors were George T.
Gross, Charles B. Halm; Thomas B. Le'Batwing,
Reuben Rng,leman, Peter Heiler and F. 7.. Heeb
ner, all "good and lawful citizens of the Common
wealth." Dr. Alfred Martin, of this city, Dr.
Stout, of Bethlehem, Drs. Sehitz and Yost, of South
Bethlehem, and Sally Ann Ueberroth, Eve Mk
ser and Fletta Miller, of Salisbury, and Clara
Strassburger, of Bethlehem, were the witnesses
examined. The verdict given by the Jury, after
hearing and weighing the evidence, was "that the
said Alice Berger catne to her death from peri
tonitis."
Root has not been arrested yet, but there to little
donht that he Will be secured. We understand
that the post-mortem examination showed no evi
dences of the girl having been Tolsoned, but there
can be little doubt that the "stuff" administered
to the unfortunate girl on the road from Bethle
hem was Intended to . procurc an abortion ; and we
hope that tile villain who deliberately attempted
to destroy the life of his unborn child. and who
had no regard for the virtue or life of the girl he
had no terribly wronged, will be speedily caught
end punished to the fall orient of the law.

The first lonmotive engine harod need o at

mysterious looking engine all ready I.:r the ha

As the crowd gathered from far and mar, ex
pecting that bridge, locomotive and all, would
plunge into the stream the moment passage was
attempted, no one dared to run the locomotive
across the chasm but Major Horatio Allen, who,
amid exultation and praise,passed over the bridge
and a portion of the road In safety. The engine,
however, was abandoned, as the slender trestling
forming much of the body of the road, Eutlieiently
strong for ordinary cars, was found too feelde for
the "weight and wear." Major Allen in his ac
count of this first trip of a locomotive on this con
tinent saps: "As I placed my hand 00 the Om-A
tte, I was undecided whether I would move slowly
or with a fair degree of speed ; but believing that
the road would prove safe, and preferring, ir we
did go down, to go handsomely, and without any
evidence of thuldity, I started with eonsideraule
velocity, passed the curve over the creek safely
and was soon out of hearing of the vast assem
blage. At the end of two or three miles I reversed
the valve and returned without areident, having
thus made the first railroad trip by locomotive On
the western hemisphere."

WEDNESDAY.
KATE FIELD ON CHARLES DICKENS
Town Hall at Catasanym was email Friday
evetting by atuettlience representhenu small part
of Lehigh erutrity,as well as the town itself. Special
trains wire run from Alicelowe, Steelton and
Fogelsville, and we dislike to acknowledge that
Ott :Allentown train was the lightest freighted of
them all. We are sure that this was not on ac
count of the indifference of our people to either
Dickens' genius or Miss Field's reputation as a
lecturer; and we are confident that If "The Young
Builders" at Catasauqua will give longer notice of
the certainty of a special train than they did this
time; they can count upon a good representation
from this city if the' remainder of the entertain
ments they have In store are as worthy of patron
age as the tale last evening. "The Young Build
ers,Assoviation"
. 1s au organization connected with
the First Presbyterian Church, and the object for
which they' are laboring is the collection of fonds
fur the erection of a issbiatth School building. The
Pr"Jeet is a worthy one, and we are glad to he
lieve that it received a handsome assistance from
the attendance last evening. One net or thought
ful kindness upon the part of those In charge of
the special railroad trains last evening deserves
grateful mention. Thu cars of nil the trains were
taken across the bridge front the. Lehigh Valley
station, and the passengers were thus landed only .
11 few stops from the Town Hall.
Miss Kate Field mado her first public appear
ance 11,4 a lecturer In Boston In the spring of 1569.
The subject chosen terra "A Plea for Woman on
the Platform," and in a very quiet and womanly
way she urged this right of women wlm felt that
they had something to
. say, to say It "In public
on the stage." Last winter wat•hcr first lecture
season, stud this Is therefore her second winter on
the platform. 'fire slanglaer of an actor whatnod
some years ago , Miss Field has undertaken to
make her own way . in the world, first with her pen
and now with her voice, and she has already se
eared for herself an acknowledged place among
the ',sconces of the slay. An ardent admirer of
"Clssusies Dickens as A tailor, Actor, Man," her
lecture on Dickens is naturaliy full of generous
praise for the great novelist. She brings ma the
more -ali , •ut 1.0110 .which characterize Dickens'
style a, a writer, shows the naturalness of Ids
characters, the gencrosa, warmth of his nature
unworn, t'assauffering and the needy, his hatred. of
all hinds of shams and pretensions, his wealth of
private friendship, and his veneration for the true
and good wherever found. 11cr lecture may be
style ss critical analysis, — but the criticism is
islway, friendly, and it, results favorable to the
memory a sel rmoios or the subject. 'I" here are t i ny

Lehigh County Teachers' Institute.
The annual session of the. 'Poachers' Institute
for this county will be held in this city nart week.
It will open at the Court Ilonse on Monday, the
Ifith,and will continue live tiny a. We hope there
will be a large attendance of teachers and educa
tors, for we believe that these Institutes are capa
ble of being very effeetive agencies in advancing
the Interests of education. In some parts of the
.ermuty the School Directors have given their
teachers the whole week for the purpose of attend
ing the Institute, and we hope that the Directors
everywhere will interest themselves in having
their teachers :Mend these meetings. The Comity
Superintendent is required to hold these Institutes,
but it will do no good to hold them unless they are
attended by the Persons in Whose behalf they are
held. There is no more important subject than
that of common school education, and we hope
that the coming sessions or the Institute will be
better attended by teachers and parents than any
previous Institute which has been held. in Lehigh
county. Below is the programme for the week ea

In traveling through.such portions of Arkansas
as are remote from navigable streams and from
the few miles of railroad which extend across cur
lain portions of the eastern part of the State, a
stranger will Ilnd himself subject to many incon
veniences. The few boarding houses that are
scattered along stage routes atlbrd very poor :te

scarcely anything but thdlr everlasting corn-bread
and bacon. Those who have enjoyed a stage ride
through dismal swamps and over rough moun

The ride on Oa; train front Lewisburg to Little

HOW eagngeil to first twenty mile; of
track on the Cairo and Fulton road. Little Rock
is destined to become :t great railroad center. All
toads Opal which laborers Orr employed at present,
converge at this point. The At kansas river is to

The greater p•trt or it-is prairie land, and scarcely
one-tenth of it kin a state of cultivation. A great
deal of hay is annually made upon these prairies,
'and those engaged lu the business nee n nin l n t,
fortune in aeery' shortitime. • After arriving at Dn
Cull's Blatt I had harely'sullielent lime to pay a
hurried visit to Josiah Billhelmer. formerly of
Lower Somata, and note Delany Clerk of Prairie
county, of which D. V. li. the county seat.
From there to the m u d of the road running front
Memphis there Is a gap of thirteen miles. over
one thousand laborers are now at work tlnishiug

Clarendon was entirely destroyed during the war,
but has been rebuilt Joel now looks better than it

very productive. FarineriA are complaining for
want of hands to pick their cotton.• Although

I arrived at Memphis, the melropoll4 of Tem
ne:eve:oil Friday night. .The city is situated on
an eminence commanding :t line view pf the Mb
. sissippi river. The streets, excepting those in the
outskirts where the XVIII Amendments have token
up their abode, are paved with the NieholSon pave.
meta. Near the central portion of the city is a tine
park, hi which stands a monument of President
Jackson. It was eructed IWevions to the breaking
out of the rebellion. Ou one aide are engraved
the following words "The Federal Union—lt
must and shall be preserved." The word Federal
was partially defaced by a Rebel soldier during
the first-year of rho war, but Ile wan prohibited
from destroying it entirely by a Confederate Major.
My stay in the, city Was brief. Left for this plate
on Saturday morning, on tile Louisville and Mem
phis railroad. Changed carnal Humboldt, Tenn.,
for Columbus, Ky., where I ferried the Mississippi,
awl took the St. Louis and 'lron Nlountain Road.
This road has lately been constructed. and .the
870.
many new towns that are springing up along this
route are unmistakable evidences that the citizens
are full of enterprise. Upon arriving at Potosi I
found the town In a state of excitement on account
of .a horrible murder perpetrated near that place.
A family office persona was butchered, their bodies
were mutilated, and the house set on fire and
burned to the ground. The fiendish murderers
were arrested near De Soto, and brought to Potosi,
where they were confine(' In jail. An attempt by
number of the citizens to lynch the prisoners was
foiled by the Sheriff, who had previously summoned
a posse of twenty men * to aid In defending the
prisoners. The mob refused to disperse at the re
piest of the Sheriff until they, ware fired upon, by
which one man was 'killed and one wounded.
Speedy Juhtlee, however, awaits the prisoners.
In conclusion, allow me to make a few remarks
concerning the election in Arkansas. Everything
passed off quietly. All drain shops were closed,
consequently no disturbances were created. Quite
a number of Republicans,who had become dissat
isfied with the course pursued by certain political
leaders, failed to vote, while the bemoerats mar
shalled all their available forces. The result in
the First District was unexpected. thanks (Dent.)
was elected by 7000 majority. In the Second Dis
trict, counties which had hitherto given Demo
cratic majorities, went Republican, and the result
was the defeat of Rogers, and the election of Sny
der (Rep.) As expected, Gen. Edwards was elected
in the Third District. The city of Little Rock gave
a Democratic majority of over SOO. The new
Council retained nearly all the colored members
of the police force, thus shelving that the latter
have done their duty faithfully. The Democrats
claim a Democratic Legislattire, which would in
