They advertise unstlatedly and unceasingly. They make money by doing so or they would not persist In it. MORE THIEVINO.—The other night some thieves broke Into the foundry of Albright & Bro., near Linden Etret t " wharf," and stole some tools, brass cocks and other article!, altogether making a heavy loss to the proprietors. As It may be the Intention of the thieves to use the tools In con. ducting their future operations, housekeepers would do well to see 'that their doors and window fastenings are secure at night.

TIE Boycrtown Water Company has re cently put Into operation a new set of water works, those heretofore In use having been found inade quate to supply the town In Its rapidly growing state. A small stream of water known as Schaf fer's Suit has•bceu transformed into a mlniatffie dam, the water front which drives an eight foot over-shot water-wheel, which forces a two Inch stream Into a large tank elevated some WI feet above the dam. This supply, in addition to the works to, the north of the borough, which have been In operation some fifteen years or more, Is found amply sufficient to furnish the town w.th water for some years to conic. AN 0 PINION.—SoMehOIIy Wh o professes to know all about It, says that the cause of accidents with coal oil latap,,gcncrially speaking, is letting the oil burn too low in the lamps. As tile oil burns down a highly IA num thle gas gathers above Its surface, and as the oil decreases the gas increases. A slight Jar will often ignite this gas .and cause an explosion. :Melt accidents are said • to he impossible, If the oil is not allowed to burn • more than half way down In the lamp; and the •lnulp should be filled daily, and always in the ;morning. This limn is probably worth something, :and we advise Our patrons to net on It—especially ;those who don't wish to have their obituary notices •umblished just yet, or to go to Lowell Martin's ai.x.d lay in a supply of Pratt's Astral Oil.

IMPORTANT TRIAL or We witnessed Monday afternoon n trial of wo ter wheels at the flour mills or Henry SclAmrman & Co., which is of great importance not only to the Ineuntm,, 1101 to the whole city of 'Allentown, and we trust it will receive that • consideration which its inlimflallee demands.. Messrs. Schnurman & Co. have had three Guy. flit turbine wheels in operation to drive the ma. chlnery of their mills, but the great quantity of water required has been a drawback which they have long experienced. After some persuasion Mr. Rm. F. Mosso', of the nun of Wm. F. Mos ncr & Co., prevailed upon them to permit him to put in one or the A. N. Wolf and .1. Ilang's tut. Line r wheels. Work was accordingly commenced yesterday morning at seven o'cloe:i and In nine 110111'.. the wheel WAS 1111110114. It Was submitted to it full test of Its powers to-darand it sneceedid so far as to drive two sets of stones with two and a half Inches less ()emit of water In the tail race, which- is tell feet eight inches vide, than the Guylla wheel discharged while running one set of stones. This fact will establish the Importance of introdueing this wheel into the machinery of ovr water-works. The linylln wheel Is Itripfour inehea and the Wolf & Ilang only forty Mates. We understand It Is the intention of Councils to put an eight foot Guylin wheel Iu at the water-works, but before they re nolvo upon such a step we hope they will examine ihoroughly Into the merits of the Wolf & flung wheel.

"THE "COLOR GUARD "—The Bethlehem Times says Citizens' Hall was erowdedon Thurs day evening with a large and appreciative audi core to witness the extraordinary representation by home talent of the military allegory of the "Color Guard." When we remember that this was the third performance, at all of which good good audiences were present, we have good reason to congratulate J. K. Taylor Post on the Ithancial success of their undeitaking, as well as their sue. cds.s in the representation of a diffieolt piece on the stage. We do not believe that we can add anything to what we have already said In com mendation of this excellent representation, both as to its own intrinsic merits as an allegory, and the excellent rendering it receives nt the hands of "our boys" and thelrable professional coadjutors, Miss Arnold nod Messrs. wood and Collins. Our own Bethlehem ladled, the Misses. Kleckner, Bleehley, Walp, Reich 'and Peysert, have done themselves very great credit by the manner In which they have acted their parts, which has ad ded much to the success or the piece. IL were unjust not to make mention of the efficient labors of Mr. Gunn, the stage manager, who has much to do to make things go tight, and Is unwearied and very successful in his labors. S•ritAurn /T MURDER ?—T Drsit Dom Dl• A MISSING MAN FOUND IN A Cri, yult to ROCKPORT.—The;NIauch Chunk Democrat of last Saturday soya: Too late in the weak for us to vl4t the scene of the discovery nod • bear from the lips of actual oWervers the details we gather front a Weatherly correspondent, the following particulars of a strange a flair at Rockport. About a year ago an unmarried laborer, who was board ing with n family at Rockport, suddeay disap• peared. It was reported that he had become dis satisfied with his work nod had gone elsewhere to labor. No excitement followed the event of his disappearance, because it was natural enough that he should go away, anti having no family:or friends not unnatural that he should go quietly. A few days ago, however, the family with whom he tad boarded having removed from the Premises they then occupied, nnother . family moved in. On go ing into the cellar II depression In the ground floor WWI observed and a remark made as to how it should happen to ha lower than the rest of the floor, when a little girl who had lived with the former tenant spoke out, "why that Is wherethat mati•was buried." A little digging away of the dirt revealed the truth, and the decayed body was soon brought out. Nluch excitement quickly fol lowed and all sorts of rumors were afloat, the most plautible scenting to be that we have given. The manna name, It is said, was Glitter, anti be for merly lived in Weatherly. lie Is supposed to have had several hundred dollars In his possession nt the time of his sudden disappearance.

IllOsicat..—Among the thousand and one Pianos offered to the public, we scarcely know any instrument so fully uniting all the desirable qual ities sought for as the linabe Piano. It is a mat ter of some difficulty and perplexity to inexperi enced persons to select a good Instrument of any capacity. We too often rely upon the Judgment of friends In the selection of a Piano, and are thus frequently disappointed. The only sure way, In our opinion, Is to go to the best maker. For this reason, we recommend to our readers to purchase Maims of William Knabe & Co.'s manufacture. This will relieve them the vexatious necessity of wasting time In a long scorn. The reputation of the Knabo Pianos Is an Infallible guaranty of ex cellence. In the houses of the most accomplished and wealthy of our citizens, and in our best semi naries and colleges, these magnificent Instruments may be found. Nor Is this any wonder; for, In purity, depth and constancy of tone, they are un surpassed. Their gradation of scale Is so exquis itely, Itnti, at the same time, comprehensively at tuned, that they are' capable of expressing every emotion of thelitunnu heart and soul. Their tone Is exquisitely pure and unique,and so even, sweet and sympathetic that it inspires all who listen to It, while at the Bnllle time t) action is perfectly free, and the keys resound to thwtouch with such sensitiveness and intelligence, so to speak, as to make one almost think that tie mind of the man ufacturer lingers In his work. INDUSTRIAI, NOTES.—The Jordan Rolling Mill has stvicettled In getting in a supply of soft coal and commenced operations Monday morning, much to the satisfaction of the hands. The Allentown Rolling Mill has stopped for a few days to make repairs: Work will probably be resumed on ‘l i ednesday. The furnace of the Thomas Iron Company at Alburtis has been worked With great difficulty the past Week. The difficulty Is altrihuted to an In ferior quality of coal which they have been com pelled to toe, and there IS danger of chilling. The Miners' Journal says the Upper Lehigh' Coal Company propose sinking another slopo In IS7I, and also erecting another breaker nt their present worio+. The German Pennsylvanin Coal Company at Treskow, In the Lehigh Region, ore smiting another lift on the Wharton Vein, which will be the second lift. They are also running It ltllllll.l to the Buck Mountain II Vein. In the Lehigh coal region It Is also believed that he men will go to work on last year's basis, which, t Is said, they can pay, owing to their situation. It is also believed that the men will soon go to work In the Wyoming Basin for the companies, at the rate of gl per diamond car. This is a re luetion of about 00 per cent. from the wages paid when they stopped, At Shamokin, It Is understood that they have agreed to go to work on the $3 basis, with the sliding scale of 30 per cent. up and down. This 'would permit coal to go to about $2.20 as a stop ping point.

The customer called for hie box and wished very much to open It before pay ing, but this Mr. 0. would not allow. By desper ate efforts the young man raised the $2OO and paid it over, and then proceeded to examine his trea sure. There was nothing Inside but sawdust and old paper. The general verdict will be that It served him right. There Is a graver feature In the case, showing that there are people about Quaker town who are willing to buy counterfeit money if they cap get It cheap.—Bucks County liatelligencer.

Ile soon recovered and ran for water, which be dashed around the burning room, •and succeeded In extinguishing the fire. No great amount of damage was done as the fire bad not got beyond the one room, but had It not been discovered fora few minutes more, the house would have been laid In ashes, and perhaps some of the inmates burned to death. It is not known for certain how the fire orlginated.—Blatington News. A VILLAINOUB ATTEMPT AT INCENDIAIIISM —THE PERPETRATORS DISCOVERED IN TUE ACT.— :Monday evening, of last week, at 0;4 o'clock, Rev. D. Hoffman, raiding at N 0.20 South Ninth street, was retiring for the night when he looked out of one of the rear windows to see whether everything was all right le the stable where he had left his horse. Ile noticed three young men, one of then, tall and the others of short stature, acting in a suspicious manlier at the carpenter shop of Ed ward Bolliet;corner of Maple alley and Fountain street. The thought of Incendiarlsm nt once Impressed him, and he took measures to prevent the accom plishment of the decd. Some neighbors were summoned, but before they could get to the shop the young men became aware that they were dis covered and made good their escape. It was found thatTbtAQ ..... 4lE: straw had been thrust through the wjfidow, ?Thtly to have the match applied to it. The night was very cold, the ther mometer being down nearly to zero. and had not Mr. llotTmoit made the timely discovery there would have undoubtedly been an extensive confla gration and great suffering among the firemen. Since writing the above Chief of Police Hofford arrested Emanuel Knauss, aged about thirty, Theophllns Knauss, aged twenty-one, and Kuhns, aged seventeen, upon suspicion of attempt. leg to Ore Balliet's shop. They had a hearing before the Mayor Tuesday, when the Knousaes were committed to Jail and Kuhns was sent to the lock-up for a further hearing. The evidence is pretty strong against the accused and two of them have made a confession. The Chief of Police de serves considetable credit for the ingenious tnan uer In which the arrest was brought about. There was also an attempt to fire the stable .of Amandas Schwartz, at the rear of his residence on Linden street, about nine o'clock. The per sons were seen lu the act but they escaped. PUBLISHING THE ROLL OF HONOIL—A cor respondent contributes the following, which Is worthy of consideration : —I have from time to time noticed In the columns of the News what purports to be the Roll of Honor In our Public Schools. I very much question the propriety and judicious ness of this custom. The object, I conceive, Is to arouse an Increased emulation among the students, particularly such who seem never to be fortunate enough to arrive dt the goal. There are children In our schools worthy In every respect who dili gently apply themselves to their studies, and yet front their very nature cannot succeed far enough in the minds of those who frame the Roll, to have their names placed thereon. This publishing a Roll of Honor must be viewed front two stand points. First, it tends to create in the minds of the successful competitors a spirit of vanity and jealousy over those whom they recognize as their inferiors ; and secondly, If continually successful will create a feeling of securit) and self-conceit which will finally result in a relaxation of future efforts. But how is it with those who do not sue eced in having their names placed on the Roll Mortification le one of the first fruits) With a wounded spirit they pursue their studies, never expecting to be ranked among the champions whose names are regularly heralded to the public, and should this feeling become confirmed In the mind of a child all Its efforts will be fruitless and Its education will be impaired for a mere want of public laudation. A good student mole no public incentive to drive him to close application to his studies. A . knowledge of his own attainments with a proper comprehension of what he learns will be all sufficient. r Let the teacher encourage all his students alike without distinction, and you will find an equal progress according to capacity. It Is not just that the world , should only hear from such whoare considered smart, and others equally studious be left In the back ground to struggle on In their humble way. i.

WENDELL PHILLIPS. —We are gratified to announce the coming of Weneell Phillips on Saturday evening, Februnryinth. The Ireture committee has been untiring In their efforts to secure the great orator and have surmounted obstacles which would have aypalled less viler getio geriemen, but they will be rewiuded for thei labors by a crowded house. SUDDEN DEATH AND SUlClDE.—henry S. Ackers, who resides about two miles from Potts town, on returning from his work nt the Cole brookdale Iron Works, on Tuesday more log, found his wife, Sarah D. Ackers, aged twenty-one years, dead in bed. Shortly thereafter, Ackers, oa entering his barn,found the lifeless body of a man named H. Y. Geyer suspended by a relic from n rafter. Geyer lied boarded svith' Ackers. No cause is known for Geyer's committing suicide ex - - cept that of being weal:-minded. Houcri.—The Harrisburg correspondent. of the Plttsbnrg Commercial thus ung,emMously speaks of an eloquent effort of one of our Lehigh county Assemblymen :—" The afternoon sesion was wasted by a heavy' member from Lehigh county making a speech In defense of the Demo cratic party, in which lie elated that the people hat: got so 'accustomed to tax 'do.) that they felt like the old woman who had skinned her eel so often that It got used to It.' The eloquent gentle man was frequently Interrupted by hur=ts of laughter at his ridiculous allusions !tad bad gram mar."

The ladies and gentlemen Interested in the presenta tion of this military allegory have spared no pains In preparing themselves for the exhibitions widen are to commence to-morrow evening, and we trust that the Allentown public will show a full appre ciation of the efforts which have been made to afford them a series of unexceptionable entertain ments gotten up in the interest of one of our pop ular military organizations—the Excelsior Rifles.

It Is unfortunate that the St. John's Lutheran Church Is so bad for sound. We understand :\ fr. Falls, of the English Lu theran, d siren that the students of Muhlenberg College shall occupy scats in the gallery. Some one suggested that that was an Imposition Amer ican students would not submit to. There are one hundred and forte-four churches In Montgomery county, about one-sixth them belonging to the Lutheran Church.

Mr. Morris is a practi cal as well as a theoretical agriculturist, and his long experience and extended knowledge of his subject will enable him to present an address which will be profitable to our farmers and those who arc interested in tine advancement of this Im portant branch of our industrial operations. ACCIDENTAL DISCHANUE 01' FIND ARMS.— OE Friday noon an accident occurred in the Third Ward, South Bethlehem, which happily did eel prove fatal in its results. We give the particulars as we received them from Mr. Patrick O'Brien. This gentleman NVA S in his room nt noun-time, cleaning and oiling up s ride, which was his prac tice very frequently. Mrs. O'Brien urns Seated' at the dinner table with the children, and Mr. O'Brien had Just finished cleaning the rifle and started to get Ills reyolvcr from Ow closet, and was In the act of examining and cleaning It, when Michael Powers, a relative of the family, coming In, asked Mr. O'Brimi to be allowed to look at the 'evolver, and took it In his hand. Mr. O'Brien, remember ing that the revolver was loaded, quickly reached to take it back, saying, " It's loaded.; take care," when It wasd ischarged, the contents of one cham ber laming through the flesh of the right arm of Mrs. O'Brien, who was still seated at the dinner table. Dr. Ur;twford was hastily called In. The shooting was purely accidental. No one else In the room was injured. MTs. O'Brien was coin foilable at last accounts.— Times. Tim Bulismo MouNTAm—A correspon dent of the Philadelphia Bulletin, who has been inspecting the Schuylkill Coal Regions, gives the following In his letter to that paper:—lasting through the gap, my attentlon was called to thin clouds of steam rising from the snow-covered side of.a hill Just north of It, a spur of the Broad Mountain propgr. This was the (anions " Burn ing Mountain." Thirty years ago, a drift was made here, for the p•.trpose of 1)111111)1; the cele brated and mysterious Jugular Vein—a bed of coal then and long after firmly believed In, but now known to be only a fold of the Mammoth. From some unexplained anus, the coal sets fired in thls drift, and for thirty years It has been burn ing steadily. A few• years ago, a slope was Sunk and an attempt made to mine the coal below the tire, but the w•ork.lurl not gone on long before a burning avalanche rushed down upon the miners, and It was found impossible to cmaintie the ex cavations. So the slope was abandoned, the im provements torn tlow•n, and the fire left to con sume a bed of coal said to be the very best in all the region. There use few indications on the sur face that a volcano is smouldering below•. The snow covers all the mountain alike, and only the Alan wreaths of steam tell of the Me glowing be neath that cold, white surface. A PERSEVERINO MAN.-000 or the Pittston coal operators, who is engaged in sinking a shaft desired to procure some nitro•glycerine, a short time since, with which to do the heavy blasting. Ile accordingly madearangements with a gentle man to furnish It, agreeing to pay,for the nit ro glycerine and whatever expense was incurred in procuring it, and - hist, to pay hint six dollars a day (or his time. The gentleman was furnished with the necessary funds, and went to New York to get it, but being unable to obtain it there he went to a place In Nfassachusetts, where he suc ceeded, after a little delay, In purchaslug a can containing sixty pounds. This he carefully packed in a valise with speng‘t anti thus concealtd got aboard of a passenger tra t and brought his risky baggage safely through to radon. There he found his purse was exhaus ed, and sent on here for means to get back With. ilia having been gone so long, the operator concluded he had either vamoosed With the stamps or had been used up by his baggage, and not wishing - to advance any more money until he saw something fur it, paid no attention to the requed.. Nothing daunted, the faithful messenger shouldered his valise nod started for Pittston on foot, begging his way through as best he could,;and finally reached here with his baggage "right side un," after an ub Bence of morethan three weeks —smelt to the sur prise of the operator, who, of course, chcerfury performed bin part of the agreement.—Pittston Gazette. AGRICULTURAL. WALKING HORSES.—The best gait a ' bortio Lad for every day use Is a good walk. It is a gait that no one In ten possesses. Colts are not trained to walk In all the Eastern States. Young America wants more speed. Kentucky has more good walking horses than any other State, for them, horseback traveling has long been In fashion for men anti women, over a country where muddy roads at times rendered any other gait Impossible, and so horses have been hired for the saddle and trained for a walking gait. This Is also the case In all the Western States, and perhaps might have been so in Nen , l'r,41!”•1 whim, grandmothers rode to mzo...ig on a pillion behind our grand fathers. Sat ow , horse no have pat horse back riding oat of ',,,hint,, and now, n good walk ing horse is more rue. tha, ma,' that eon trot a mile in 2:40. At the Springfield, Mass., liorse Show of IMO, the writ e r u tt it ••,• to award Prizes to the tat. I et.t walking horses. Out of seventeen entered, the committee found tint one which was a first-rate walker. This was a Mor • rill mare, which walk, d five miles on hour with case. Two others were fair walkers, and the rest knew• no gait that could he called walking. At the New York State Fair the same state of facts was again developed. A letter from Wisconsin says :—I think horses trained to walk fast, would be a greater benefit to our Ihrmers in general than fast trotters, as almost all of their work has to be done with a walk." I once known man In Massa chusetts, who, before tho railroads were built, kept !tom twotto four teams at work on the road, and never allowed theta to trot at all, and made thc•distattce In quicker time titan his neighbors, who made their.horses trot at every convenient 'dace. Its said that when a horse commenced to walk after a trot, he walked much slower thrln his common gait, if kept on a walk, and thereby lost more than he gained. Will farmers think•of this and pay more attention to walking horsesl— Farmers' Home Jotn•nal. To Kr.m , Mcc Swnr.T.—A teaspoonful of One salt, or horse radish, In a pan of milk, will keep It sweet for several days. Milk can be kept a year or more, all sweet as when taken from the cow, by the following : Procure bottles, which must be perfectly clean, sweet, and dry; draw the milk from the cow Into the bottles, and, as they are illlcd, immediately cork them well, and fasten the corks with pack thread or wire. Then spread a little straw In the bottom of a boiler, on which place bottles, with straw between them until the boiler contains a sufllcient quantity. Fill it up with cold water, heat the water, and as soon as It begins to boil, draw the tire and let the whole gradually cool. When quite cold, take out the bottles, and pack them in saw dust, In hampers, and stow them hi the coolest part of the house. FARMS.—Be content with a small place entirely paid for, If you have not the money to buy a large farm. Do not allow that eager and avaricious spirit to "own all the land that Joins yours" to ruin you. One of the curses of our agricultural districts Is the size of our farnis. Forty acres paid for and tilled, Is better and far more remunerative titan four hundred under n heavy mortgage and only half cultivated. Where one :non may succeed by rashness In assuming I trge responshilltles,bundrees fall; and experlem o nod observation will show that the successful owners of large tracts of lands, have usually be gun by small purchases for cash, and by gradual additions as they arquire wealth by Industry and economy. GTIAFTINo.—The mode of grafting depends upon the size of the storks. If they are large, say one or two inches In diameter, then cleft grafting Is the usual mode. The stock Is spilt and the coin made in the form of a wedge. On small stocks the splice graft is the best. Grafting wax Is m& in various ways, and of different materials, but the following is good enough for commas: use : Ono putun.l of rosin ; one-half pound beeswax ; ono.quarter pound tallow. Melt together and It is ready for use. If too hard add a little more tal- lea. Holum Rams!' roil ANIMALS.—il.rse radish Is an excellent condiment to mix with the food of COWA tO ilea them an appetite, and make theta look sleek and thrifty. It should be fed freely to all animals that are not well, and It will he of great service to working oxen troubled with heat. Ir given to cows in doses of a pint a day mixed with potatoes or bran, It will prevent or relieve cows of the disease called cake In the bag. Few :111111111IA Nylll refuse to cat It, and some will eat of It greedily as much as a half peck at a time.

The Allentown Academy. tiomo old writer, familiar with that which Arte mis Ward has since felicitously termed the " hats 'ral cussedm.css ov human natur," once ventured the opinion that even infinite wisdom could not devise a plan or direct a movement which every one would assent to without objection; and no one eau doubt it who.has paid any attention to the way things work, or arc worked In most coin- MEM The disposition to be made of the old Academy property has raised one of these mauyslded ques tions, which must soon be settled one way or other, and us discussion Is the only way to do this properly, permit me to " enter the lists." Several have already spoken ; one in the Stadt and Laud Dote and the other Dote, In solid German, and another, over the signatures of the worthy gentle men who, for the present, till the highly respect able, responsible and lucrative ofilee of Trustees of the Academy, has done the same In good Eng- , Ilsh, so that two of our great nationalities have already spoken. Our Irish friends of the Sixth Ward and our Welsh friends front Catasanqua and the slate region remain to be heard from, but trill doubtless noun put in nu appearance. On one point all are agreed. The property must and will be sold. The Sheriff will attend to that 0111der the liens that are MILS. Nor does any one seem to regret It. The universal opinion seems to be that Academies, like hand tire engines anti Conestoga wagons, are behind the age, and have been superseded by colleges,stearners and locomo tives ; but Ile there may be a small balance left after the Sens are paid out of the proceeds of sale, the question Is what is to be done with It. It will not be denied by any right-minded man that this balance should be kept in the channel In which I the omiginal m u m.), was put by- its founders. com mon Semite, common honesty and the common law nil affirm this proposition. Now, how was this Institution established I In 1815 the State gave 52,000 to it. Some good per- I son, for a nominal sum, gave the hit, and Henry Wilson by his last will gave it $5OO. If there were any other donors, let some one name them. The writer of this has lived here for nearly half a century, has been Trustee several times, and knows of no other donors. The Grimm] Jury have been implored more than once to award something km aid of It, and may have done so once, but have certainly refused over and over again, on the ground that It was not county property, and the Cominlssioners have, under the advice of counsel, refused to pay the municipal lien that Is on It for the wine reason. The property, therefore, does not "belong to the people of Lehigh county," they did n " oriOnally purchase It with their own private Duds," the county does not sustain • It by dona tions, or these liens would not he on It. . The money that paid for it never "came out of the I county treasury or the pockets of the people." It was not given toliquidete the county debt, or pnr- chase a library, or sustain common schools, or for any other purpose than to secure for the youth of the county the highest grade of education that could be giVen or procured for them, snd . to Use It for any other purpose would be a simple perver sion of the gift of the donors. Now, who can deny that the two colleges here arc the natural, legitimate successors of the Acad emy? The common schools to-day arc as high in grade as the Academy ever was, nod these col leges are, theretore, to our common schools what the Academy used to be to the common schools of olden times. Who does notsec that these colleges must be kept up, If our community is not to go downintelleeteally7 Who does not know that every father and mother In the county has a deep Interest In having their sons and daughters edu cated at home 7 Who does not appreciate the' wisdom which keeps the money, which board and education cost, at home; the wisdom of drawing into this city from abroad, all the money that we can, for this purpose, as these colleges arc now doing? Who•does not see that their existence here does more to make our city known abroad, than any thing else that we can have? Where in the civilized world Is Princeton unknown 7 Who would ever have heard of It, out of New Jersey, but for Nassau Wall? Now these two colleges are here, they are incor porated, and will be kept up. Men filled with the same spirit that actuated these who years ago organized the Academy, hero put theirmoney Into it, not for pecuniary gain, but fertile public good. If It will tend to keep these Institutions here, 's not the proposition to invest this balance, If any, In their stock to the name of the County of Lehigh, the best that has been made 1 This is the way In which, in 1850, the people of Lancaster disposed of their old Academy. Its value Is now in Franklin College, which is to them a matter of pride and profit. The County Treasurer cddi/ nee the money and so could the treasurers of the school Mist rict , , but neither of them has •toy wliit to steal what does not belong to them or be guilty of so foolish an 'action no pitching, a bucket of water Into the Le high for the benefit of the Canal Company. A public library is a good thing, but a mo-t ex pensive ,and troublesome thing. It requires a house, which takes money; a librarian, who will want a ialtiry ; and a constant [Tumid of books or It goes down. • The writer of this has helped, in his feeble wily, to start three libraries and knows of four tlitt went to nothing for the above reasons. Shall we repeat the experiment I Shill we per- vert the gift of other men, who or • not lore to defend their donations even for so good n purpose, or Phan we carry mid, their wishes, taaltintic their good work, and thus keep up tho,o things that are "profitable every way for all of us."
