While the hundreds who intended to be present were not time in person, they were presest in spirit. Tbe memory of the citi tee soldier who fell in the strtfgfle against rebellion is cherished with a deeper, a bear tier feeling now than at the close of the war. So it will be continuously on as w grow away from the events that caused their death. . Tbt Soutnera people, too, are deep ly set in the work of decorating the graves of their dead who fell for tbo Lost Cause. That is the moat forcible method tbey can adopt to teach generations beyond the one tbat participated ra the struggle for and ageiast rebellion the'dinVrencs of the two systems of civilisation, the rights of one and the outrages of the other. Every year henceforth that the soldiers' graves or the North are decorated the righteousness of their cause grows brighter to the free intel ligent people ef the world, and every year henceforth that the soldiers graves of the Lost Cause are decorated the unrighteous ness of their causa will become mora appa rent to the .ree intelligent people of the world, stutU by and by the country will wonder that their cause had anv advocate whatever.

Quite s variety of methods of teaching were thus .brought' out, and tbe exercise proved to be an eminently practical and profitable one. . Tbe topic, " How to Inereass the Teaching Power of the Sunday School" was then taken np. It was introduced by principal W. R. Beck of tbe Sol diers' Orphans' School. . This subject was probably tbe first tn importance on tbe programme, and received tbe atten tion it deserved, eliciting free and full, and able treatment at tbe bands of Revs. Piper, Stewart, Copenbaver, etc. The next was like unto it in impor tance, namely, " How to Secure More Efficient Co-operation with tbe Home."

The evening and cl.sing session opened at a 7:45, with a prayer meet ing of a very elevated chaiacter, which continued almost or quite an hour, tbe main subject of which was prayer for tbe blessing ef tbe Holy Spirit upon tbe labor of the convention, tbat Hi. influence might accompany the dele gates to their various fields of labor, specially tbat His blessing might de scend UpoU the schools in the neighbor hood, and upon those who had so hos pitably entertained tbe convention, with an especial remembrance, in a prayer by tbe President, of tbe Sol diers' Orphans of the school In MeAI ixlcrvil'.e. At the close of the meeting the usual fee of five dollars was voted tbe sex ton. The thanks of the convention were tendered the Lutheran congrega tion for the use of their cburcb build ing; to the "Committee of Arrange ments" for tbe admirable niauder in wbicb tbey bad discharged their duties ; to tbe citizens for their generous and wsrm-bearted hospitality; and to the choir for their excellent malic; which lent much to the life of tbe convention. Tbe subjects remaining on tbe pro gramme were : ' " W bat Do IjS rei.Mosl as a Teacher?" - "W hat have Ltarntd at tbis Con vention ?' . . "What am Resolved to do when 1 return to my field ?'' These themes having been announced by the President Ibe eonvention re solved itself into a general "experience meeting" of exceeding interest, which continued without abatement until 9.40, when tbe Piesident arose and announced tbat we could rerrvn i0 longer that it was time to bring tbe convention to a close. A motion was then uisde to ad journ sine die, wbicb being so ordered, tbe President made a few very appro priate remerks; after vTliich bs an nounced tbe hymn, "Come, christian Brothret!, ere we part." ' At the close of the tinging,' the Rev. A.

To I Perry County Advocatt of last week says : On Thursday afternoon'the barn of Mr. John Simonton, in Seville township, balf a mile northeast ot Ickea burg, wss burned, together with the wagon abed, bog pen, anl other out buildings.. Abont 300 bu'sbsls of corn in tbe crib, and 300 bushels of wheat were destroyed. Mr. Simonton also lost tbree bead of young cattle. Tbe family bad b;en baking in the forenoon and had put out the fire at the bake oven, as tbey thought, but it sppears that some sparks bad set fire to some wood near tbe oven, and the fire was commuoieated to tbe fences, and from thence to the straw in the bamyafS and tbe barn. After dinner tbe farm bands bsd gone to the woods to peel bsrk, snd Mr. Simontoh and wife; who are aged people, wrre taking a nap, and therefore tbe fire was under f-11 bead way before it was discovered and the alarm given by a neighbor. Sparks and burning shingles from Simonton's barn were carried by tbe high wind prevailing to tbe now barn recently erected by Mr. James Witmcr on Lis farm distant about tkree-fcurtbs of a mile from Simonton's. This barn was soon in flames, and wss burned to the ground, together with 400 bushels of wheat, 500 bushels of corn, and 80 bushels of potatoes. The potatoes were on a wagoo, ready to be taken to iuil- Ierstowa the next day. Mr. Wagner, the tenant of Mr. Whiluier, lost three burses that wero in the stable at the time, together with a mower and reaper, and nearly all bis farming impleineuts. Mr. Wagner was abent at Millerstown ith a load of potatoes at the time the fire occurred, aud bis fau'ily was not aware of the fire at the barn nntil a neighbor rode ap aud gave the alaim. Mr. Wagner's loss is estimated at over $1,000. We are informed that the wheat and corn belonged to Mr. W ti mer, who lesides in I'foutz's Vsiley, Liverpool township. Mf.

' The fir a from tbese barns wet com municated to lbs fences and woods iu the vicinity, snd burning shingles were carried over a mile to tbe farms of Daniel Lyons and Lewis GiBgricb, but by tbe exeitions of tbe people of the neighborhood the fire was extinguished before it readied ether farm buildings in .he neighborhood.

Com'y Sorss Rikd has gained for itself a wide and last ing reputation and provei itsaU' to be the victor of the toe held. It is Cio beat Bake ever introduced among farmeis the most simple in construction aul the easiest man aged, as it is self unl ia ling. It is tbe lent liable to get out of order, as the wheels are made with the best wood hubs. It does the best work with tU least effort on the put of the operator, of 4ny rake ever uaed by the farmer. Esh tooth is independent of its fellow, but all are so fastened to tbe axle that noue can get the leiit out of place. From the tea thousand ia use last year, we have yet to bear of the first one tLat showei tbe least imperfection. This popular Bake has established its own reputation in tbe d.-ld. and took the first reward of merit at the Juniata County Agricultural Fair, 1371. I sold fif teen of these Rakes last season, and tbey all gave entire satisfaction. I am also Agent for the sale of the Screw Mower, which was swarded the Prize Gold Medil in a field contest under the au spices of the Chester County Agricultural Society, laM Jui.e. The machinery of the Mnwer is a'l encased, o that no dirt, wood or straw can ft tinto it to injure or clog it. Little time is required to oil it, as by an im provement of tbe oil enps, once oiling ia all that is needed to cut many acres ei grass. Tbe knives are run by a screw gearing ; the most thorough and noUeless glaring in vented. The whole niacbiue being the most thorough and leceat improvement placed in the market. I also sell the Keystone Roaper and Mow er combined, with the improved Johnson dell-Kike. This machine is extensively in use among farmers in the eastern part of the Sute ; and whereever it has been intro duced K has ao executed its work that there is a constantly increasing demand lor it Give my machines a careful inspection before purchasing elsewhere.
