Allentown 89 'Seen by an Outsider A correspondent at the Philadelphia Evening Star writes to that paper na follows MAUCH CurNK,Mareh 20.—1 promised, while at Allentown, to tell you something of that city— to do which, It may bo well to start about 1760, when James Allen 101 l out the town of Northamp ton, by which name the place was known until 1800, when It wan christened after Its founder. Its population Increased slowly until the railroads were constructed, and In 1867 It became a city, the present population of which I; between . 14,000, and 15,000. The town lies .at the confluence of the Lehigh and Little Lehigh rivers. Along the river are numerous Iron working establishments. Most of the stores and dwellings are on the high ground "on the other side of Jordan." Mark Twain's Innocents need not to have gone abroad to have shivered on the stormy banks of that little creek In Palestine, for one of the same name and probably as large, flows through the city of Allen town. • Several fine churches and school 'Muses, a good substantial court house and a beautiful jail are among the prominent ornaments of the place. Like most of our interior towns, Allentown has a market Nemo or large open at the crossing of the two principal streets. Of course we visited the opera houseo very neat and corns modimui building, well adapted for the purposes intended as long as there is no panic, but the means of exit are execrable. One of the most in teresting localities in Allentown is the "Crystal Spring" on the Little. Lehigh.• !here Is an immense Boring, which supplies the, city with water, and then sends fully as much to waste. The water is clear mid limpid, and is confined In a circular pond, with bright stones, flowers, etc., at the bot tom, the beauty of which is Intensified by looking through about six feet of water. Your readers may think that I posted myself very thoroughly oboist the founding of the place in one day's visit, so I will own up and tell you that portion of my Information was obtained from a map, the finest I have ever seen. Some twelve years ago it was commenced by a German, named ABU:telt, nod has but lately been completed. The coal strike has a very depressing influence on Oils Valley-18 out of 38 furnaces have blown out, and a majority of the others are only working on half blast. On our journey eking this beauti ful river, from Allentoyn to Mauch Chunk, we passed Cataeauqua, llokendauqua, and Copley, and found only one furnace going at each place —three out of fourteen. The stores is e doing but little, and business Is really at a stand still. As we passed along the road, every Spare siding was full of empty coal care. On one of the trains the lecomoti was burning bituminous coal. It looked odd to be going opium() the anthracite coal. fields, passing miles of empty coal cars, and see the black bituminous smoke rolling past llie ear windows. No one can toll the cost of this Strike. When It Is remembered thud a furnace requites from one to two months to . get into blast after blowing out , an Idea of the loss to one individual ease may be formed. Yet it does not end here ; hundreds of HUM, engaged In working iron, ore thrown out of employment, and the 811V111.46 of years must be drawn upon to pay for the necessa ries of life. • Surely the people have 50100 rights, which miners, operators, or railroad companies, whoever are to blame, are bound so respect.

(In Friday evening, March 24th, the Zeta Chap ter of Pennsylvania, Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity, at Dickinson College, held Its twelfth annual sympo slum at the Mansion (louse, Carlisle, Pa. • Fifty members had met in the parlors, among whom were representatives of every Chapter in the State. Some had come from the Empire State; Cornell Uriversity, though four hundred miles away, sent three delegates; while others front greater dis tances added not a little to the Joyfulness of the occasion ; to feel that thrill of Joy, sympathy and fellowship that seldom pervades the heart in the ordinary unable of college life. After assembling for the occasioa M. C. Her man, Esq., (class of '62,) of Carlisle, was called to the chair, who after a civilppropriate remarks declared the symposium In session. J. 1.. Sheller, In behalf of the Chapter, delivered the oration cf welcome, which abounded In life and cheerfulness. W. It. Woodward then read the Chapter poem, reaching and mellowing, the heart while strength ening It with the hope of futurity. 'these were followed by the anniversary oration, delivered by J. V. Got watts, Esq., (class of '59), of Norristown, Pa., and the anniversary poem read by Itenry J. Beatty (class of VI), of Harrisburg, Pa. No one could have listened to the eloquent and enthusiastic addres3 of Mr. Got waits without being convinced that the fire of the Phi Psi burns not only In the hearts of the active members, but also In the hearts of the graduates who have long since left our active ranks to do battle In the world's fiercer contest, proving to us that the fraternity Is not merely a college pastime, but something whose principles grasp the very heart of Its mem bers clinging to them through all their existence. Mr. Beatty's poem on the "Spirit of the Times" was a model of beauty, grace and humor. Ills closing eulogies upon the fraternity were received with exuberant exclamations front every heart. From the parlors the brothel proceeded to the dining room, where a sumptuous feast was await ing them. At each plate was a beautiful noquet of flowers ‘ provided by the Phi Psi Metes of the borough. It Is useless to say that such one did ample justice to the array of good thing., not a "flunk" or even a " fizzle" is recorded for the evening. The Chapter ode was sung end the regular toasts uttered end responded to as follows :—Our Fraternity, M. C. Ilerwnn ; The Grand Chapter, J. M. Belford; Our Alma Metres, C. E. Magl 'ugh ; Our College Days, F. E. Belt zhouver ; Our Wives and Brevet Wives, G. E. Wilbur.

Our "Sacred Ileerte, • ' responded to by G. C. Danford, of Cornell. "To the ladies who fur nished the boquets that so beentlfully adorned our tables," responded to by O. J.
