This would prob Ably never be necessary were it not that the city railway takes up so touch room, but the Increased number of cars. which will be run and the necessary increase in the number of freight teams, pleasure carriages, etc., make it extremely doubtful whether the inside of the entire bridge will he ndcg,mte for their accommodation ten and twenty years front now. MUTH ON TOE Bart.—A correspondent of the Harrisburg State Journal, of Jan. 4th, says: A shocking railroad horror occurred at Rockville, about 3p. m. to•dap. As Mr. Jacob Baker, re siding up the valley, was driving In the vicinity of the railroad, at the crossing near M'Callilter's, above Rockville, accompanied by Mks Julia Straw, with a two-horse spring wagoo,the engine of the Erie Express train South struck the con veyance, upsetting It andbreaking It to frag ments, and almost instantly killing Mies Straw. One of the hor s es was also killed, and the other holly injured. Mr. Baker received a severs eon melon over one of his eyes, and received other in Juries. Miss Straw was to hni , o been married this evening at Dauphin, and was coming to Rock ville to take the train when she met with a horri ble death. The occurrence has cast a dup gloom over this community. THE ,LEHIGH REGISTER, ALLENTOWN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10,1872. " MAN AND WIFE."--.A. married woman In Kansas who eloped with a physician, left the fol lowing unique note for her husband : " DEAR Ilunnv—You're played out. I like Dr. --- so well that I prefer going with him, you good-for-nothing degrading cuss. It's none of your business where we've gone. It won't do you a bit of good to follow us, for I won't live another day with you tosave your life. You made a mistake In thinking I loved you. I never did. I married you for convenience sake. I take the baby along, and I'll take care of it. You can sue for a divorce, get married as soon as you please. The woman who gets you next time will have a healthy old prize. Good-bye. De virtuous and you'll be happy. • Your ' LATE WIPE." IN this disagreeable, unhealthy weather, so productive of coughs and colds; It is gratifying to know that we have such a safe, sure and speedy relief as the Pectoral Syrup prepared at the City Drug Store of Lawall & Martin. They don't make much eff.)rt to sell this medicine, but not withstanding that It has a very extended reputa tion. If they chose they could make an Immense fortune out of It. It Is pleasant to take, the man ner in which it is put up would sell it, and those who once buy It never consent to being put off with any other. These gentlemen work harder to establish a reputation for conscientious devo: Dot) to their profession than they do for mere worldly gain, and any one buying their prepara tions has the satisfaction of knowing that the emmonent parts of the medicine are not only pure, but sure not to be Injurious. Therefore, they are sought after more than preparations maaufactut ed at a distance for the mere purpose of making money. IiOLL OP lionon.—The following consti tutes the Roll of Honor for December.

The men refused to submit to the reduction, find a strike Is the con sequence. Weat'e heartily sorry that the men have adopted this course. They cannot reasonably ex pect to gain anything by a strike Just now, when coal is solow and stilt falling. They will only lose time and money, and will be obliged to go to work for Probably less than Is offered now. We trust that wiser counsels will prevail, and that the men will start work in a few days. We understand that even after the reduction, prices will be as high as are generally paid. list even If thls be not so, a strike now Is hopeless ; and this should be sum cleat reason for continuing work. We earnestly beseech the men to accept the company's terms and go to work at ouce.—Record of the Times, Jan. 3. THE report of the State Superintendent of Common Schools shows the valuation of school property in Lehigh Is $681,696 ; Lucerne, $784,- 930 ; Montgomery, $364,050; Berke, $537,378 Bucks, $223,320; Northampton, $387,800; Car bon, $152,700 ; Schuylkill, $516,070. The State appropriation . for Allentown was $1,846.70; Eas ton, $1,538.13 ; Scranton, $2,003.64 ; Wilkesbarre, $770.54. The number of permanent certificates granted In Lehigh, last year, was 14. According to the report Allentown has 11 school build ings, •4 of which are unfit for use ; 5 have suitable fur niture ; 10 have outline maps ; there are 47 graded schools and 46 lu which the Bible Is read. The county has 189 houses, 11 of which were built dur ing the year; the number well supplied with ap paratus Is 8 ; number of schools 222, and tho Bible Is read In all of them. • —*As the Superintendent reports only one stone building In Allentown, we presume those reported unlit for use are those occupied previous to the completion of the new Sixth Ward building. THE (:ITT WATER WORKS IN SuCCEsBPUL" OrnitATloN.On Friday our city fathers were In• Cited by the contractors (Wm. F. Moeeer a Co.) to witness the operation of the wheel, gearing and pump, and If made as per contract, to accept the work. There was no necessity for anybody to make favorable remarks, the, machinery doing all the talking it,cif and performing Its work with ease and apparently to the entire satisfaction of even those who are accustomed to find fault, and naught was heard but praise. The wheel Is n Inch Eureka patent, manu factured by Win. F. Mosser & Co.,for A. N. Wolf & Co., proprietors, and Is sixty horse power, pro pelling two ten Inch pumps fifteen revolutions per minute, delivering over 1,500,000 gallons In twen ty-four hours to the city reservoir. 116 19 The wheel uses the water (the motive power) with economy, (hiving the pump fifteen revolu— tions n minute and is warranted to run thirty rev— Minions while using no more water than the breast wheel consumed In running a single pump only twelve revolutions a minute. • APPOINTING SUPERINTENDENTS. In the last number of the Pennsylvan la School Journal it Is recommended that the present school law be so chaneed that County Superlntendents may be appointed by the State Superintendent, Instead of being elected no at present We the School Directors. This plan alight work well ii"the chief officer could ut all times be removed from party politics. That being almost lin possible the present method of electine scrubs to be the Cetter plan.—Easton Ex press. The objection of the Express to appointment is not very sound. The elections for Superintendent are always governed by politics. Wherever a ma jority of the Directors are Democrats a Democratic Superintendent is elected and the name rule holds good In Republican counties. Our greatest objec tion to the elective system Is that capability is the last consideration that enters Into the choice for Superintendent. Iu Montgomery county, Dr. Acker, our present Congressman, held the office, we think for two successive terms. The first point made at an election Is politics, then popu larity, and then, perhaps, capability. If the State Superintendent had the power of ap pointment it cannot be doubted that he would select men of his own political party, but his direct, individual responsibility to the people of the State and his honor and salary de pending upon whether be makes the system effi cient or inefficient, would secure 'good appoint !news. School Directors receive no compensa tion, they are not very anxious to hold on to their positions, and even If they do make a bad selec tion the responsibility Is divided among so many that it Is very easy to bear, especially as the peo ple are not very likely to remember such things where they are charged against so many. TRIBUTE: or REBrECT.—At a special meet ing of the Columbia Steam Fire Co., held Decem ber 28, 1871, the following resolutions were noun- Ininualy adopted: WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God In the dispensation of his provldenee, to remove from our midst our friend and companion, Allen P. Steckel, and WHEREAS, It Is both customary and proper, upon occasions Ilk.: the present, for the surviving members of an organization, to glee expression to their feelingd, therefore Resolved, That in the death of our fellow mem ber and Assistant Engineer, Allen P. Steckel, our Cotnpany, as well as the Department, has lost no active and Industrious member, one who wasever ready to respond to the call when his services were needed, having been n m. sober of the company for years,lt is lilting and right that his associates, who lave long borne evidence to the excellence of his character, should pay an appropriate tribute to his memory. Resaived, That we bow with humble submission to the will of Divine Providence, and trust that what we arc called upon to regard as our loss, may prove to be his gala. Resolved, That as a member of this Company . we bear witness to Gls zeal, activity and fidelity, and to the uniform excellence of his condnetovin uing for Lint the sincere and affectionate regards of his corfirades. Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the family of the deceased, and na a mark of respect to his memory, we will attend the funeral In a body, and cause the house and apparatus of the Company to he draped in mourning for the period of thirty days. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be promoted to the family of the deceased, and also published In the City daily papers. ONSTANTINE 1311111,1AXEE, ' LEWIS GIIAMMES, Committee. . F. It.

CONDUCTORS AND CARBOLIC ACID.—On the main line of the L. a S. It. R. there are nine con ductors, viz t Terry, Starr, Hoxwortb, Detrant,J. B. and G. B. Moyers, Snyddr, Hetrick and Horan, all good looking, accommodating men, enjoying alike the confidence of the company and the pub lic. By the aid of E. R. Hyndman,euperintendent of this division of the Central Railroad of Now Jersey, they run their respective trains with such regularity that people who reside along the line of the road require no other clock to toll the time of day. Accidents are almost unknown. In fact there is no road In the country where life and prop erty aro so cafe as upon this. Bat how conductors can stand so much carbolic acid Is a wonder. In Easton and Phillipsburg the mall-pox prevails to an alarming extent. Everybody Is needlessly frightened, and everybody to ward off Its evasions puts faith in carbolic acid. It is used by every one. Ladies saturate their handkerchiefs with it, while men make themselves obnoxious by the use of the useless 'liquid. If Easton Is losing some of Its general traffic with country people by the fear or presence of small-pox, It must be gaining a for tune by the sale of carbolic acid. In cotnlng up the road yesterday, we saw four ladies from Eas ton, each with a string of garlics, a small bag of assafmtlda, and a bottle of carbolic acid.slung In dian-fashion around their respective necks to charm away the disease. The garlic and assa fastida were true to their ancient traditions, gave out a constant odor, while the bottle of acid, un corked every half hour, heightened very materially tint protective Influence of the medicines (1) be sides imparting a delicious fragrance to the car they occupied. Conductors, used to all sorts of vexations, get used to It, probably, and other people might, was there any possible medicinal virtue In It, but when competent physicians pronounce It a humbug why will people fill the nostrils of the public with these useless and repugnant odors.—Seranton Repuhlh can. HINTS ON TASTE IN OUR BUILDINGS AND GAIIDENS.—COLORING.—The seasons change and we change with them, and almost every succeed ing season producena difference of taste and style In the building and coloring of our residences, and the formation of our gardens. Very few individ uals follow any specific plan, having for its object, that each detail should have a reference to the whole, or that the latter should tie in harmony with Its surroundings. Garnish white Is often found In close pinximlty to brown stucco. " Neutral tints," " subdued tones," wood dismally darkened and sanded, •or blackened with bogus sines colors meet the eye and violate good taste. In choosing colors, the pro'prietor should d Is. trust hls judgment. If he deslreasome color different from any which the neighborhood affords an example of,. let him beware of trusting to his own selection of paints in the pot, or from a specimen patch on a house. Both will deceive him. Colors which appear to have no character at all on small surfaces,are often beautiful when applied to an entire building; while the tints which may please us beat in samples may be rank and vulgar on broad surfaces. It is better to leave the selection to your, pAinter, he may not suit your wishes exactly, but you may console yourself with the reflection that had you made the selection, the result might have becu worse. Between dwelling, outbuildings, fences, garden decorations, there should be a strong simi larity of tone, though the depth of color may differ materially. A gray or cool drab•colored house should not have a warm brown color for Its out buildings. A cream-colored house should have its ont bullings of some darker shade, in which yellow Is just perceptible as one of Its constituent parts. In places where they are much shaded by trees, the outbuildings may, without impropriety, be the color of the dwelling, provided the latter Is some unshowy neutral tint. Blinding parts of buildings with different colors Is practiced with beautiful effect by good painters, but the proprietor Is here again warned not to trust to his own skill in choosing colors. The colors on cottage, villa, and mansion win dow blinds are of great importance, but we can not encroach upon our allotted space to dwell upon this point. We trust sufficient has been said to awaken an Interest in the necessity of fol lowing a specific plan not only in the convenien ces but In the outward adornments of our resi dences. Our city Is attracting considerable no tice from visitors and travelers; some of whom are connolseurr in art nod critics In architectural beauty. Mary of our residents have displayed considerable elan, and have gone to no small ex pense in decorating their houses and' gardens. Some are marvels of beauty and good taste, and we shall from time to time throw out hints for their guidance which we trust will not bo un worthy their attention. CHOIRS AND FUNERAL OCCASIONS.—The services of Church Choirs, in the great majority of cases, are voluntary and without perquisites. The members not only willingly but cheerfully take part in promoting worship in the respective' churches to which they are attached. On occa sions not so immediately, but somewhat remotely, connected with the regular services of the Benet. nary, are they called into requisition. We refer now more especially to the burying of the dead ln whickthe minister usually officiates. On such oc casions it is quite common to have the choir ac company the minister and take part In the funeral services. This is right and proper, and we have no objections to offer, but on the contrary heartily commend this step. We are not willing to stop here, however, with our remarks, but would take occasion to say a word to the public at largo in reference to a neglect of duty on their part, while the services of these singers are given without compensation. This duty not only seems to be overlooked, but entirely neglected by the bereaved. The comfort of the singers seems to be lost sight of 1 who are left to make their way to tbeeeemetcry and return as best they can. This, too, very often during inclefned Weather, accompanied by hull and sleet. The case is quite severe for the gen tlemen stagers in their official capacity, but en tirely too much so for the ladies of the chair, and calla loudly for reform and thus a better Mato of things. Is order that the abuse may be corrected, c urines, In case the bet l eaved aro thus provided for, should be secured for the members of the choir. The singers aro not only worthy of this but have a right to demand this comfort, and In case no such provision is madei to withhold their services. When, however, the circumstances of the bereaved will not justify the prevision for which we ask, our city choirs will be both reason ably just and merciful and treat the case accord ingly. Our remarks are made only after repeated abuse of the liberality shown to the public by church choirs and much complaint on their part. By some persons these organisations are regarded as common or rather public property, and as such en titled to no consideration whatever. It is time the public mind should be disabused of this Idea and view the matter in its proper relations.

The numerous readers of the Rsonnzn will be pleased to leant that the proper authorities are enforcing the law for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals within our city. This is an effort In the - right direction, and promises a better state of things. It Indicates a more healthy tone is public sentiment and be speaks humaneness in addition to respect for law. The public offleereentrusted, besides other things, with this Important duty, which we aro pleased to know they are beginning to discharge, deserve every encouragement from our best and most sub stantial citizens. To protect the poor dumb brute and secure for It proper treatment Is not only praiseworthy but noble, and calls In exerelio Chris tian virtues. • We had two cases of cruelty to animals to re cord during tit.' past month which fell within the provisions of the law. The parties owning the animals were fined in the neighborhood of ten dollars each In addition to a wholesome and well timed reprimand by the respective Aldermen. One of these same Individuals (we withhold hi, name out of respect to his race) on a previous oc casion, for which ho was not prosecuted, in order to force his mule to obedience, placed a thong around the tongue of the animal and In part tore It from its fastenings. Ills name stands associated with other cruelties for which ho did not answer to the demands of justice. Many more cases of a somewhat similar nature could he mentioned, and it behooves our police authorities to look well to such acts of cruelty as well as violations of law and have the abusers of animals brought to Jus tice without delay. They can rent assured they will bo fully sustained In the discharge of their duty. Severe tines and Imprisonment will, we be lieve, correct these evils, and force Individuals to treat animals properly. COURT PROCEEDINGS. The Barn Burners Receive Justice HEAVY SENTENCES.

On trial A Fesrivst..—Agreeably to announcement the St. John's b. F., rogelsvllleheld their festival, on the evening of the 25th lust., (Christmas). At 6 o'clock, p. m., the school assembled In the school house to make the necessary arrangements. As soon as ready the children, with the officers •and teachers, went in procession to the church. Mr. Benjamin Dornblazer, chorister nt this church, with his choir, produced a selection of choice music when the school had come Into the church, for which they deserve the thanks of the school. The exercises were opened by the appropriate German Hymn, "Es schallet so torechtig welt hin durch die Nacht," .Cc. Then followed a dialogue by the Infant Class. This dialogue, with the Ilt- • tle hymns inter.-persed in it, elicited the ad intro don of the audience. A dialogue was then spoken by twenty-four. children. This was a capital ex ercise which, with the beautiful singing connected with it, produced an agreeable t ff..et. The Ger man hymn "Stine Nada, Ileilige Nacht," was beautifully sung by the children, which wrought Into full play the emotional faculties of every sincere christian. A hymn, entitled "-The Golden Nine," was the gem of the evening. Nine little girls were selected to perform this 'exercise, which is bused upon the christian graces of Love, Joy. Peace, Long-suffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness and Temperance, which are con tained in the Epistle of St. Paul; the Apostle to the Gal., sth chap., 22, 28. Each of the little girls was furnished with a beautiful banner, on one side of which was painted the figure "9,"ittal on the other side of the banners were painted re apectively the graces as above given. The child ren, on coming before the audience presented only the side of their banners having the figure "U" inscribed, but as they sang each turned her ban ner until all were turned. In the closing part the banners were turned back again presenting only the figure "8." The exercise was gracefully per-. formed which reflects great credit upon the child ren as well an upon their tutor. A dialogue on Mission was spolteu by three children. A dialogue entitled "The - Monument of Truth" was recited by members of the Bible Class and their teacher. This dialogue was bused upon an emblematic monument which was built during the delivery of It, each member placing a block. The first being the block which had on the words, " The,flolld Rock ;" the second, 'Faith ;" the third, "Virtue," and so on, each block represent ing some Christian grace, the monument being crowned by a " Dove with gentle mien overlook ing all." Besides the dialogues, declamations were delivered and the whole interspersed with selections of choice hymns by the whole school. Mr. Joseph Gronscup,modical student and teacher In the Sabbath School last bummer, addressed the school with considerable oratorical power and fine pathos. Rev. 0. W. Leopold also addressed the school and the audience by opening with an ex planation of the scene before them and closing by alluding to the difficulties the school had to en counter. Not too much praise can be given to the Superintendent and the other members of the com mittee on arrangements in again placing before us such a beautiful seene,it being in fact a repetition of last year's "scene" with many valuable addi tions. There was, again, the " cave" In the rock of which - the eminence of Bethlehem is composed, the angel hovering above the shepherds and an nouncing the "glad tidings of great Joy," the visit of the shepherds to the manger and their de hnd thb visit of the wise men of the East, representing every race. This scene was made still more attractive by an art fount Jetting out a stream of water delightful to behold, and by a star which was made to move front one corner of the church to a position right shove the manger. There was also the impetuous Jordan spanned by picturesque bridges and with its pfoper represen tativee of animal. life. The rugged-and Wire rocks were also given lying on one side of It and pre senting some specimens of animal life which the sacred narrative teaches were inhabitants °ranch places. In conclusion let us express the hope that such a scene will leave happy and glorious Impressions upon the hearts of the young. —Allentown has no easetiof email-pox, ntt, wlthetnndlog tho EnetoWErpreas says It hne. IIUIILENBERG COLLEGE. (From the Bucks Cu until Intellfgencer.l A. short time ago, having had the pleasure of vieilin~ Muhlenburg College, and knowing our Bucks county folks are always anxious to hear of educational advancement, I concluded it would not be amiss to say something about this new, but prosperous institution. The College is situated In the southeastern part of our neighboring and flourishing city of Allen town, and commands a delightful view of a very pleasant part of the Lehigh Valley, which has long been noted for its beautiful scenery. o builipn g , w!.i••ti is five s'or;i•s high, pre-. Tents ie Irma of 120 fee t mid extends to the depth of 140 feet, Is Krumnded by suitable grounds. In front thet, is a beautiful lawn adorned with stately forest trees, and In the rear a large campus supplied with a gyn nu tsi• um and the necessarTapparatus. The insidu of the building is very nicely and conveniently arranged. The accommodations are of the most approved character, each room being intended for two students, with alcoves for,. sleeping, well ventilated, and abundantly fur nished with light. It is also folly furnished with a chapel, recitation, library and reading rooms, society halls, &c. The College library has a fine, lint limited collection of good and standard books, prin cipally works of reference. The two Literary Societies, whose (railer small) halls are neat ly and elegantly furnished, also have excellent and well-selected Ithraries,containing upwards of 2000 volumes. I noticed in one of the so ciety halls that they have not sufficient shelv ing on which to place their books, but was in formed that the societies expect to enlarge their halls, which will not only be a useful and necessary change; but, judging from the design, will be a great improvement to the I appearance of the whole building. The name of Muhlenberg„ by its connection with the affairs of the government and the church, hris become quite familiar in our country, Rev. F. A. Muhlenberg, D. D.. who has won a lasting reputation for his excel lent abilities as a professor and a scholar, and who is now President of the College, is a mem or the some family to which belonged General l'eter Muffienberg, who acted a prominent part during the Revolution, and Rev. Henry Melchior Muhlenberg,who founded the Luthe ran church iu tins country, after whom this college is named. Dr. Muhlenberg is- a man who has a very commanding personal appear ance, is firm find decided, but very sociable and pleasant; he seems to understand the posi tion he occupies. and I am fully confident he Is the right man in the right place. The other members of the Faculty are good and experi enced professors, are corteous and agreeable, and all cominand the respect and honor of the students. Those connected with the Institution can well be encouraged, for, as I was informed, ever since 1867, when the College was Organ iced, the number of students has increased every collegiate year. At present there are 13 Seniors, 21 Juniors, 18 Sophomores and 22 Freshmen, making a total of 74 in the College . proper, whichis a greater number than attend ed at any previous time. A Preparatory De• partment is connected with the Institution, which is also well attended, but am sorry to say I was not Informed of-the exact number of students. While passing through the build lug I took notice of the young men who attend the College, and saw all were jovial and hap py ; they seemed to like the place and institu tion, and, as college students generally de, looked as if they felt perfectly at home. In looking over a schedule of the studies, I found to my surprise, that instead of being principally a theolOgical, it is a regular classi cal course. However, due regard is given to the Holy Scriptures, chapel exercises ore held at proper times, and a Bible class, conducted by Dr. Multlenberg, is held every Sunday afternoon in the College chapel. Why I en tertained such an erroneous opinion respecting the nature of the studies I know not. Per haps it was that I knew the College to be on. der the supervision of the Lutheran church , hut, at the same time, I also Ytnew• that the Lutherans have a Theoloical Seminary in Philadelphia, however,sincej have found that I am not the only one who made this mis take. Although my visit to Muhlenberg Col lege was very brief, yet I was very favorably impressed by the Internal workings or the In stitution, the attractiveness of the place, the kindness of the professors and the agaeeable 'less of the students, and will ever remember and cherish this event among the pleasant cideuts of toy life. 131 :TA. 13oAnD OF TRADE its sent out circulars for the purpose of ascertaining the total idnouid of business done annually In this city.

MARCER AND YERKE3 AGAIN.—In the Phil. adelphia Court of Quarter SQS(41011:+, on Siturday, Judge Paxson ancounced that the Court desired to have a reargionent of the CASH of Messrs. Mercer and Yerkes before a full bench. In Ms. Yerkes' case the points they especially wish to have dis eu,,sed were, whether the evidence establi,hed the . statutory offence of larceny, and whether there was such a ball nest of the check as was meant by the statute creating the offence of larceny. As to the charge that ho was Itt the employ of the city, and by virtue of such employmtut re ceived this cheek,there was no doubt that the ver dict, so far as this point was concerned, would have to be set aside. The re-argument will take place next Friday morning at 10 o'clock. COURT PROCEEDINO9.—SainueI Keel er vs. Wm. Freymau. Appeal from Alderman Good.'

Jan 10-3 m _w Pichneekswille Corrempondence TILE FIRST GRAND ANNIVERSARY OP TRE SCIINECKSVILLE LITERARY : 7 0CIETY.—The follow ing sketch Is a brief report of the proceedings of the first anniversary, held January Ist, 1872, got ten up by the Literary Society of the above named place, which Society was organized two winters ago. Opened by music by a well-to-do string band, which interspersed the exercises all along. A becoming prayer for the occasion was offered by Rev. J. S. Renninger. The Salutatory Oration was kindly and wel comely delivered by J. P. Delbert. H. A. Pett r followed with an orat lon, subject "Avoid Extremes." He pointed out the going to the extremes of some nations, such as the " Rise and fall" of Greece and Rome in ancient times, and by It their devastation. So also the venturing too far of man which disqualifies him physically, mentally and religiously. It was well delivered. A well composed essay was rend by Sarah E. Acker ; subject, " The road to nth)." An oration on " Moral Culture" followed, de livered by W.. 11. Mushlitz. which hail some good cautioning points which alluded particularly to the parents. The following resolution," That women should vote," in a short debate, for want of time, was ably and energetically discussed by Joel Gross on tho affirmative and by David Pfail im the negative both in the German language. J. F. Smith followed with an oration," Ameri can Patriotism." Distinguished ancients who showed themselves patriotic were cited ; also past but not forgotten American Patriots, such as of '75, were mentioned, whose example we should follow. Ills delivery was good. T. F. Gross recited In a comical and imposing manner a declamation entit led "Oration on the Crisis." ' Amanda J. George read an essay. "Self Edu cated Men" was her subject. llen ry Clay, Bowja - min Wilde and others were cited as eel f•educators. In cautioning such In search of knowledge, the adage " What man has cloud man may do," was embraced. A. 11. Fat zinger, with a Gertnan oration on " Arbeit und die Arbitter," followed. Ile re marked that though they labor busily in Europe because they are forced, whilst In America we are at liberty to do as we choose, and through labor become famous and renowned. Next came a eulogy. Andrew Jackson was manfully euloglzed by I'.. C. Croll. Ills rough and tilde boyhood life, as well as his tough and firm manhood's stage, were held hefor the audi— ence for contemVutlon. One oali precious env ious, "The Union must and shall be preserved," was forcibly given. An oration came next again on the " Fourth of July," delivered by J. NN%Gernert. Revolutionists who " fought and bled" for our country'd freedom were given. The noniversary oration on the subject " Excel sior," the mold° of the Society, was forcibly given by J. C. Karsten, E•q. The following are a few of his heads. The motto should be stamped upon the heart of every youth. Excelsior waves In the hearts of all eminent men. It should be the watchword of every student. It's exaltuess cheers an invalid. The business men aim for the upper most. The Society coincides with its motto by aiming higher and higher. The Statesman and Christian grasp for high aims. Prof. Bender, Principal of the Weaversville Academy, fu lowed in his masterly style with the Honorary Oration, before announcing his subject. lie gave some excellent hints about the Woman's Suffrage question, which should not be' forgotten. The following are a few 'of his points brought forth on the subject " Self Culture." There is no. thing us helpless as man. However, through his immortal mind he can place himself above the brute creation. Speaking of the mind's profundlty, he sold that it was only valuable like a pearl when brought out. The present age demands educated minds. We owe it as n duty to our country to be intellectual. Ile wisely said that 111111,1 is not only given to the professional man but also to the farmer and mechanic. Ladies as well as gentletnen should receive an education not to make them dolls, but intelligent beings. The question " How should we educate outselves," was answered that there was no royal road to learning but the hard beaten track. 01 the cer tainty that our efforts will be crowned with flat tering success, he sold that those battling hard• est against the stream are the most profound. Advised farmers to improve winter evenings in reading instead of spending :hen is Idleness. 'flat literary societies are means through which Mall can improve himself was endorsed by him. Giving hints to What the success of dsociety In due, the two follow•log are some: to adhere to the truth and to consider both sides of the ques tion to lie debated. Though we are mercenary people lie dwelt tlrinly on the advantages of an education. The man of education can pursue his occupation better; among the physicAr workers cited the following will suffice; the shoemaker can make better shoes. Elueators should be and are honored, but why are some of the dead not honored, Ineaury the deeds of them do not deserve any honor whilst such bright lights as Luther, Clay, Webster and others that Illumined the world from the time they perceived light to the present, and will to the end of :man's existence, lam sorry that for wok of space many like the pre ceding points must be omitted. After the Benediction was pronounced. by Rev. Henninger the first wunivereary closed at a late hour. All, except Such that were obliged to stand In the entry and outside on 'account of the over crowdedness of the small room for such an occa sion, were pleased with the exercises. 11.
