The chltaen heard the music of a band ou the street and were anxious to get down. Young Powell took ho dof A rope at the hatchway and fell down to the first poor, a distabee of twelve feet, striking among pieces of machinery.

The building and machinery were valued at $30,000 and we:e owned Jointly by Henry Bchouratan, Joshua &bowman, Joseph Bchnurman and Chariot L. Newhard, of this city, who have an Insurance of $13,000. The mill was ran by H.

The Easton Express says upon examination at the mill, we should Judge that the deceased was standing on a platform about four nod a half or five feet high In Irma of the wire mill, when he was struck from behind aud Mei' thrown to the ground.. Here his but and coat were fouud,as also w piece of the three quarter Inch Iron, about sigh• ~turn inches In length., The Iron bar bad blood and hair on it, showing conclusively that it had .I:it:mantled as the weapon of murder.

COPLAY, June 27 IMPORTANT ColtltECTlON.—There Is no eX• amluatlon being made into the accounts of the City . reusurer, us the readers of the News are led to infer from au article published in that paper ou Wednesday. Still, no one ought to he deceived for, 11 the investigation were being made Into the City Treasurer's account, the News would not call it a wane luvestigatiou. The investigation meant to be referred to is the one uow being made into the County accounts. The News intimated that the Committee could not find anything wrong and cast some reflection upon the Committee,fur which It subsequently apologized. We have refrained front making any refs nee to the Investigation because we oulleved it luiproper to say anything until the committee should re - i s ffir.k. The News, at however, which has always be 'Oppowd to the Investigation, has attempted to prevent the com— mittee Rom proceeding any further. Why it oh— , Jests to the clearing up of the suspicion which has for yearn existed ;n the public mind, Is more than we CAD soy, unless the objection Ia Made in the luterests of the party. Thu assertieu that the committee has not found anything wrong Is pre— mat.tre.

REPUBLICAN MEETING.—A large Rephbli eau tneetiug was held In (rout of the Agee !louse Thiorsd y evet.ing,which was addressed by lion.J Pollock, of Phliatiumbia. Mr. Pollock said th, hu was lucked here to make au address, upon th precious analog, to the literary acidotic, of hi uh iceberg Lollegu..

He had been luvited and urged to deliver a Republican speech aid he could' not m— idst.

Why should the ptiople turn out of power an tulmluis tr aloe that has done to touch fur the country, a President who has by his sell-sacrince shown himself a 0 true to the country, to place . lu power one who has not been tried It was diflleult to combat the opposition, fur their policy had not been fully developed. Ile used to like to meet that manly opponent, the Democratic party,whose men boldly and fearlessly advocated its principles because they believed them to be right. In old ti es there was no mis taking what the Democrats meant. Their plat- form from the first resolution to the last could be plainly' Underetc•Jd and they battled openly for their prluelples. Now they were hiding behind the Liberal Republicans and all that they waste l was "anything to beat Otant l" Thu Clue Weed platform meant nothing to Detnocrats. They had Horace Greeley 'and Tariff ou one end of their ticket end on the tall was Grate Brown and Free Trade; and the people of Lehigh county could not vote that. He gave the evidences or prosperity produced by a protective tariff which wan enacted by a Republican Congress and made some points against Free Trade which were well accepted. The G./corner's speech I titled an hour and a half. It was throughout an eloquent trleute to patriot ism and good government, and the speaker was frequently Interrupted with applause. We regret we bate not space to give a hiller report. THE LEAIGH ittGISTER 4 . ALLENTOWN; WEDNESDAY, JULY B, 1872.

Students" f Mublenherg College. The hull was but moderately filled, owing tothe unpleasatitnees of the weather. Alter music by the Allentown Cornet Band and the City Quartette Club, the exercises were opened with prayer by the Rev. Di. O: uenewaid, of Lancaster. The City Quartette then favored the audience with another of their choice selections, when D. Luther Ruth, of Prospect, Pa., delivered the opening address on the word ^ Consecrated," for his subject. " The American nation is au excitablenation. It Is not wrong to suppose that for uti thee lea more glo. rious future than that found In the golden age of Rome or Greece." Our influence is worldwide, knowing no houildailes or cede I Our ships plow the mlehty deep and bear our Rag to every land." This gCntleanau having a splendid voice for an orit'or, succeeded In making himself quite audible and.did certainly do justice to him,elf. Asher D. Pflueger, of Trumbauersville,Pa., fol lowed, having for his subject, " Haste not, Idle not." "It Is not a streak of fortune that some elan so high andothers so low in the scale of hu man affairs, hut It Is Ills own doings, for history and revelation exclaim : Haste not, I le not. M orb of what men call genius Is but persistent applica tion, for though perhaps Oily did not hasten, they did neither idle. God does not bestow what man desires, lint what le for his benefit." This spe: showed u thoroug.l mastery and acquaintance bf his subject, and as.a fu nth le I student and success. ful competitor of prizes In former years, r..eeived the hearty applause of a well pleased audience. John 0. Bauman, of Applebachsville, Pu., was the next speaker, having for his subject: " Life from Death." Life climbs the highest mountalne and descends the mighty deep, the icy mom:tales of the North Pole as well as the huge African for est hear witness of the presence of life, yet every thing In nattne whispers to us: thou must die. In the beginning of creailon , cosmos sprung front chaos, Life succeeded death. In all the changes of nature and revolutions of the world, we have seen that life has followed death. The world Is continually marching on, onward and upward In the succession of life from death. This gentle m.m also a successful competitor for prizes In former years, a close student and a plentiful con sumer of midnig t oil, well understood the sub ject he chose far hls speech and certainly con vinced the audience that life does spring from death. Ile was follownd by Wm. H. Myers, of Myers. town, Pa., on the subject: " True Grandeur of Natious." Most massive structures of Rome and Greece uo longer pierce the i•ky. Vain degrative Home, lovely Greece with its temples and world• renowned artiste have passed away. it was not possessed of true grandeur. Egypt, the object of wonder of even Ruins and Greece, with Its re workable skill In arts, science and civil profes sions, has passed among the things that *ere. We cannot find the true grandeur of nations In its history. The true grandeur of a nation, procures for a nation an imprrishable name and lefound only In an advanced literature, encouragement of the arts and eel -sees and general education. This speaker, posessed of a strong voice and the real eloquence of au orator, and the most graceful and pleasing gestures, so necessary for a successful orator, handled his subject most splendid.y and received the most hearty applause and shower of boquets from the audience. This closed the list, of the Prlze Orators and music by the Quartette Club followed. Howard Himinelwrlght,.of Milford Square, Pa.; was the first speaker of the uon•competitors, having for his subject ; "Muu's Onward Is Up ward." Our better faithand your trust speaks man's onward Is upward; If we wish to examine the true condition of human life we must not only look at the dark side but we meat examine the more favorable. We honor the ancients for their greatueas, we admire them for their genius ; but have not modern times prodaced even greater deeds, and more admirable genius? This genius has built our railroads and steamboats, subdued the lightning and put away slavery and superatt. Lion. Nevi r was the scheme of the chrietion doctrine so fully developed as at present. This speaker deserves credit for his admirable delivery and well composed and worked up ora tion. He was almost overatiowered with buqueta and other presents. C. .1. Hirzel, of WitiNgtolf; Del., to:lowed. Su. jest : Prolessional L; r a. HuManity as a whole condemns lying as crimi nal. Even the poor, degraded heathen rejects the liars. The range of tiara is limitless and even to be found In the courts of Kings and the hovels of beggars. Novel writers as a general thing meet with universal approbation, but we despise them when they make We structure of their story so an to make it utterly impossible to be carried out. This gentleman spoke very well but a little too fast to make himself generally understood among the audience. He wan followed by 0-ear ,Myers, of Bethlehem, Pa. Subject : "Night Bringd Oat the Sam" Already in the Garden of Eden God made the hnperishuble Incn:salon upon' man that he accost go forth to battle. To whey can we attribute the progress of eiVilization 7 Have not the armies 01 war had something to do with it ? it•not been for the battle of Hastings we would probably have never beard of the British Empire. Even the blab of the United States can be attributed to the fact that a great nation had been offended and sent out Its hones of war. The speaker was audible, and delivered his speech with credit. John Rim's, of Wlreenden, Germany, spoke on "Die Politische Mission der Deutschen In den ,Vereleigeu ctaateu." • America tnuy feel proud when , sho looks back and considers the disgrace rendered them by the brethren from over the qua. Americana do not trace their descent to a single nation but to many. Here we seek a free nation and country, but It Is not said that a German should be Immediately Yaukeelzed, but should retain the good and useful customs of their forefathers. This was perhaps the best speech, taking It from good authority, this gentleman bun delivered anywhere. Only go on John! we say, andeucee,s will certainly crown your effort, even In this Americanized Republic—the United States. After music by the Quartette Club C. ii. Keller, of Puiladelphia, followed with "The Ridden Cause." Old things passaway and new !Moue take their place, Nations epritig Into exinteede, flourieh wittiness away, It le the de sign of Romeo Catholicism in this country to make convene of the moat prominent meo. Popery has tilled Germany with war, and the re cent attempt to remove the bible from our schools Is the signal of their intention In this country. Charlie is a splendid speaker and can justly consider himself the brat, most graceful and most eloquent orator of,tbe , class of G. F. Kribbs, of Knox, Pa., followed with "Our Prize." “All's well that ends well," . le not the motto to be adopted. One eingle'effort avails; pecan. verauce, diligence and persistence alone can bring about the true results Trills the waiting may be long, the reward distant, yet It' will 'come. The audience perhaps on account of the late ness of the evening, became too noisy and restless no that this speech, though excellently delivered was not so well understood as It might have been had the audience been more quiet. ' G. F. Kunkle, of Kresgeville,•Pa., followed, having the subject "The Teacher . the Rope of Reform." Reformatory Institutions exist allover the land yet our hope cannot restiiin them, bet only in him who gives instruction and education to the young. Iu the youth of America lies the germ which should be nourished and which can bring about greater results than all the reforma tory Institutions In the country. Thls gentleman had some few gool practical Jokes connected with his speech and delivered it in a very able and creditable manner. ,• Luther M.

Be spoke per haps a little too fast, Yet as it, was near time for tea and the audience was getting rather tired,per haps hu thought it best to make short work and be After music by the Club the audience was dis missed with the Benediction by the Rev.

Dr. Muhlenberg. Ha spoke as follows: Amide: the cures of life literature and education are almost forgotten. The cause of education 'Mould be hon ored, but especially the Institution which is J let celebrating Ire fifth annual commencement. Mob lenberg Is a name connected with everything that le honor d and honorable in this country. " Life is earnest, life in real." It has its sunshine anti its shadows, Its Joy and its sorrow:3,lw bright elder and dark sides. A true manhood, as historical!) and practically developed, is my theme to-night. flistory, we have often been told, repeats Itself There Is a philosophy, a science In history, which no man can develop. Wo are not governed by chance—man is not the puppet of an action. We arc accustomed to deride the past. We look back upon those that are past w'th derkiou. We think the ancients knew not What we know now, yet we must regard them and give them credit for all our modern Inventions. Nfoses saw the writing In the stone ; to-day the Bullock printing press sends ont 20,000 sheets al hour. There Is constant reser. section of the past—history Is continuUlly repevt mg Itself. The epochs of the world were deter mined by the Ideas and thoughts of people to their Government. Abraham was as absolutl.• monarch. No will had he to bow to but to Him who give,- life and death. He had lu his Government that wisdom and education given to him by his Ruler above. Man us a citizen, but the property of the State Is Illustrated In the history of Rome and Greece. Paul, when he was Imprisoned, though be exclaimed "I um a Roman woe yet the property of the Government. What have been the educational and intelloe• tool epochs? They began at the Reformation. The man, Luther, the simple representative of civil and religious freedom, who bid the worl I be free, he it is who was at the head of those epoel e. What are our relations to Governrueniand home A man free and equal, with no power bat the power of God to regulate his doings, except those of his own making, where else lu ^the history of the world can we fled that 7 %Nit; are masters of the State; equal and perfectly free• meke or •tin 'nuke our own laws,.

Science is hum rellaion di. vine. The unmixed rucei have ever been ant- [Weary and unprogressive ; the mixed races pro• gressive mid advancing. We Americans are all mixed In a glorious mixture. As to blood, no one can say that he Is of pure descent of bOllll.l purtic ular family or tribe. 'Hie Anglo•flaxen, thy Celt, the German, who have honesty, determinn tlou, deliberation, all Ouse compose the American nation. We need and require perseverance, earn. estness, determination.

Tne lecturer was listened to with much atten- on and Interest by the audience, and frequent applause was given. As a pleasant, Instruct lye and entertaining lecture, this was perhaps the best ever given, under similar circumstances, to an Al lentown audience. The benediction was rim flounced by the Rev. Mr. Reuningor, of Lehigh county. COMMENCEMENT. The Commencement proper was held last Thurs. day, at II o'clock, In the Opera (louse. An um.- sually Hue audience was In attendance, both as regards numbers and intelligence. Alter prayer by Rev. Illuterleitner, and musk by the orchestra, R. 11. Lautkustelo, of Miners ville, del vered the Latin Salutatory, which was well delivered. " W. A. Brutes, of Coucwago Valley, Pa., deliv— ered a speech on Anglo-Americanism. The spet.ch was well delivered and the subf ,et matter excel lent, and we regret that we are not able to give an abstract of It. "Constitutional Religion a Fallacy:" Mr. G. T. Weibel, Shrewsbury, Pa. This gentleman discussed' the propriety of adding - to the Constitu tion of the - Jelled States an 1111:11:11li meat recogniz lug God. Such an amendment Is not neces.iry, since God Is not praised by Joint resolutions or wo . ,shippcd in constitutional amendments. %Vt. cannot make a nation chil-tlan by amending its conistitu ion, but we can by amending our lions. Let us first innikdour national practice Christian, then there will be little need of declaring that our national theory is christian. The introduction of such an amendment Is obnoxious to the many re ilgious deumninations represented In the United States. The State cannot distinguish between morality and 'hypocracy, and hence has no right to Interfere with a personal religious belief. Let those who imagine that a religious amendment is a necessity, remember the lessons of history. Spain raised the same cry, and the result wan a complete political prostration. The church and state cannot be united lu this country.

Unless we are able to answer the question "What Is man 7" we are no: able to furnish rules for the harmonious development of man's powers. When the operations of the mind acd body are understood, the true position of the sciences—especially the mathematics—will also b i fully understood and they will hs properly up. piled. The cultivation of the mind, however, is not the only condition of true manhood. The moral nature of man must also be culivated, and the prompting') of a . sunctilied conscience must constantly be obeyed. Only through th. , cultiva tion of all the faculties of mun—natutal, Intellec tual and moral—can man attain : a true ntanhood. "Things That Cannot Last." Mr. M. L. Fritch, Merixtown, Pa.

Before thl6 all was impen6trable darkness— a hideous gloom that s tread through all the hounds of creation.

How often, alas I we find that those friends whom we worshipped are at heart traitors, and that their ardent professions of friendship are only studied words for the furtherance of their own selfish interests, anti though it coats us many a pang, we wisely cast them aside like the glittering jewels which the refiner has tried and found worthless..

She was encored, which compli. meet to her as a vocalist, site very gracefully and sweetly m knowledged, with which all were much pleased. The piano solo by Miss Lizzie Bowen was the most finished instru mental production of the evening and reflect. oil credit upon the Institution as well as upon herself. From the essays delivered at this and former Commencements we find that the system of thought underlying the course of inotructibn of the Allentown Female College has for' Its object the acquisition of truth in its breddest and most liberal sense. Truth as such is em milled and, so to speak, hid under the various sciences taught within this Institution. These in point of importarce are made to occupy 'their proper subordinate legitimate sphere. The mind in pursuit of science, it is supposed, acquires the necessary discipline to think ac cording to the truth, and thus made to think logically. Error is thus separated and truth given Its full force in the mind of the pupil. The course of study Is properly graded, it seems, so as to advance the mind and finally tequire.knowledge of that ultimate objective truth in which all the sciences have their ground and necessity. A knowledge of that absolute source of all things material, as well as immaterial, the laws of science, and body, soul and spirit, which Is God, is necessaryln order that the student may have a propdr knowledge of those things.pursued in a col lege course of study. God is truth—ultimate, objective truth, and must be in and over all our investigations of science and metaphysical research. Then will there be no violence lone to the reception of the revealed Word. The mind thus discipliced must necessarily square up and accommodate itself to truth re vealed to us through the Scriptures. This , yatetn necessarily brings our knowledge In a m-asure to us through faith. As we receive and properly apprehend the God of truth through the instrumentality of faith have we a proper idea of education in its ground and necessity. ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES OF THE FRANK. LIN LITERARY SOCIETY OF THE WEAVERSVILLE ACADERY.-011 Friday evening, the 31st of June, we had the pleasure of witnessing the exercises of the first anniversary of the Literary Society In con nection with the Academy at Weaversville. Ow ing to the threatening appearance of the weather towards evening, the audience was not as large as wan expected, nor as large as the nature of the performances would have Justly merited. The music on the occasion was furnished by a choir composed of members of the Society. The choir was under the efficient leadership of Miss Marla Berndt, a former pupil of the Academy, as we learn. It is but Just trithe leader, as well as to the members of the choir, to say that we have seldom heard better music. The pieces rendered were choice compositions by choice musicians ; and they were not spoiled by rendering them. After the first piece of music the opening prayer was delivered by the Rev. J. B. Rath, of Bethlehem. After another piece of music, the Salutatory was delivered by Mr. T. R. Dietz, of Weaveraville. The oration was good and in the main well delivered. With the excep tion of a short hesitancy at one time, it was very good. Practice, we think, will make the gentle man an, excellent speaker. Mr. George 11. Miller, of Weaversville, next de livered an oratign on " The Love of Country." This gentleman entered into the spirit of bis sub ject and warmed up under the influence of hie words. Hls gestures ware phasing. Ho is an agreeable speaker, both as to his voice and modu lation. The production was good and the gentle man evidently Is a "patriot," with tome power within him to make patriots of his hearers, too. Next In order was an cseay on the subject: "Home and its Influences,"by Miss E. J. Engler. Her essay was splendidly written, though she was perlhips not quite loud enough in reading it. Her appearance on the sup Is graceful and her voice pleasing, only It should have been " strung up" a little more. Mr. M. C. Fleet:linger then read the society paper called "the Franklin Budget." That perhaps was the most pleasant part of the evening's ex— ercises. If Weaversv Ille shall ever be able to come up to the Ideal presentca of her In that paper then she will be prepared to live on her glory. Tho editor, too, did full justice to himself. This paper, we are told by the members, Is a prominent feature of the Society, and is read weekly. Au eulogy by Mr. George Laubach was next In order. Be took as his subj-et Dr. Benjamin Frank. lin. Ms production was thoroughly a eulogy. The virtues and bright sides of the philosopher were finely pointed out. The speaker followed the old and good adage: "Say nothing of the dead but what Is good." He 'night have bad a little more warmth In delivering it. Miss A. CI . nr read au essay on education. The production wan good and It was read very finely. The anniversary oration wan delivered by Mr. John Yelles, of Siegfried's Bridge. His produc tion was an excellent one, " Tendinnes Verum," the motto of the Society, being his subject. Ho did not, however, have sufficient animation in the delivery of his oration. Rev. J. 13. Rath then delivered the honorary oration. Tim oration could not wall have been better. The reverend gentleman made a happy choice of sull .ct. He held forth the popular fat. ladies and the popular virtues of the Pennsylvania German people. The oration was' replete with those sharp " home thrusts" for which the gen— tleman Is so noted, and lu all respects It was Just the thleg for the occasion. The last speaker, the Valedictorian, was Mr. J. H. &bringer, of Krelderaville. Ills valedictory was an excellent one, and perhaps the best one of the evening as to the delivery. His gestures wore highly pleasing. With another splendid piece of music, and the benediction by the Rev. Mr. Leasberger, the ex— .ercises of the evening closed. Upon the whole we can say that the exercises of the evening were highly interesting, and that all the performers reflected much credit upon themselves, as well as upon their instructors and the Institution of which they were students.
