Benjamin Franklin in 1790 presented two hundred and finy dol lars to tb. tou-iding ol s library to the Acad emy. Since 18-52, it has been under luj au spices of tbe Presbyterian church. Irs The ological Seminary ia located at Allegbeuy City. Twenty of last year's students have chosen ihe ministry for their calling in life, snd a number of the new ttudenta here now, have the ministry in view. The insti tution opens under the most promising cir- cumslnnces. The tbeoloev of the College and Seminary are considered as beyond question in Presbyterian circles. It is true, the institution is not as old as Harvard, tbe oldest college within the limits of the Re public, but tbeu, it has never bad a presi dent who wrote in the interest of witch craft. In 1865, Washington College was consol idated with Jefferson Coll.-ge, which was located seven miles distant at Cannonsburg. Many sound and substantial people in tbe every day walks of life have bueu educated here and many men prominent in both state and church have passed through this in stitution of learning. The College is now under tbe Presidency of Rev. Jsmes D. Moffat, D. D., a tall, slim, dark haired, dark complexioned, good looking man, whose personal appearance is so much like that of Governor Pattison, that when he delivered a speech at tbe late Slate Teach ers' Convention at Uarrisburg, be was mis taken by a number of teachers and specta tors tor tbe Governor. Two hundred students bare at this writ ing been enrolled for this term other names will be added before tbe week closes. Dr Woods, professor ol Latin, is a plea-iant gentleman and a Sue scholar. Dr. Linn, professor ol Greek, is a painstaking profes sor, according to tbe sayings of tbe boys who have received instruction from him. Profctsnr Simonton, professor of German, is deservedly popular. He is s brother of Judge Simonion, ot Dauphin county. I deed the whole faculty are highly spoken of. THE TOWJ of Washington ia like "Old Ro ne," iu this, that it has a population of 6,CU0 people of such water drinking proclivities that they will not permit the licensing ot liquor drink ing house.

The General was bis g'tsst at the time the New York gold ring precipita ted the gold panic known as the Bl-tck Fri day Panic. There is a hue school h re un der the anr.pi.res of the Episcopal Church. Tbe puolic school management here is suf ficient. The grounds of the school yaids are kept in grass and the school children are so well trained that they do not walk on it, and do not pluck the floweis that are cul tivated in places in the grounds. TH. I-IOPLI. There are no Yankee or New E nglaud people here. The majority of the native people are of German extraction, or de scended from people that colonized in Vir ginia nnder Lord Culpepper or ia Maryland under Lord Baltimore, or sprung from the sterling Scotch Irish of Cumberland Valley. Tbe work or Rev. John Steel, of Carlisle, who was sent here in 1767, to settle disputes between settlers and Indians, is one of the bistoikal points ol Colonial frontier days, that is pointed to with great interest. Steel has relatives in both Juniata aal Cen:re counties, and it was be, who, in 1753 at Car lisle, in company with Colonel Armstrong, Mr, Miller and the Sheriff, tried to persuade a mob of some sixty citizens of Cumberland and Sermon's valley from taking a German named Stnmp and his servant Ironcutler out of the Carlisle j til Stump and Ironcut ler had been lodged in jail by Captain James Patterson, who lived where Porter Th op son now lives, near Mexico, for having kill ed a number of Indiana near tbe mouth of Middle creek, now in Snyder county. There were twenty other citizens from what is now Juniata county, with Patterson when Stump was arrested, but alas their names have not been banded down for record. Steel's pro test against tbe release of Stump was not heeded. There are people living in Juniafa and Whingtonountiea wbose ancestors were with tbe crowd that opened ihe jail for Stump. But more from Washington bye and bye. The ride from Miffiintown is by the splen didly equipped Pennsylvania Central by way ofPitLburg.

Dear Sir: Thinking yonr many readers wonld be glad to bear from Kansas, and to bear from former Pennsylvanian, I would inform them, that when I came to Topeka, fifteen years ago, it was . town with . pop ulation of 8,00", scattered over tbe parade, and money was scarce at 25 percent. But tbe people willingly paid that high rate of interest. Now, Topeka is . town witb a population ol 25.001, and money can be bor rowed at from 8 to 12 per emt. There are two colleges in tbe place, second to none in the country, and when the Female Sem inary, now brfing constructed, is complet ed it will be the largest female seminary in tbe country. One reason our school, snd colleges are so well attended is thst tbe high altitude and dry atmosphere of this vicinity make very healthy students. Our town is improving very much this year and many new and substantial houses are being erected. The business men are enlarging their rooms or having new buildings built. Tbe wheat crop will not be moro than one-half of lat J ear's crp, but tbe corn crop is imiueoxe, and we never fear frosts ; here. The great crop of Kausa Is tbe na tive grass wbicb cares ou tbe stock, and b as good as hay lor feeoing stock. Wby the President drove the cattle men out of tbe Indian Reservation wo do not understand, as they paid the Indians ov-r two hundred thousand dollars a year, and as the Indians are too lazy to nse the land hems elves. This action of the President cut the beet product of the country, short, about one million of beeves per annum But thti government will have to mike good to the cattlemen two hundred thousand iol'a rs. I would like to see some of yonr Pennsyl vania veterans come ont and attend our Ke-nnions, which will take place Iroin Sep- tem 29th, to Octo ber 1st. Fitly thousand veterans have pro ruined to be present. Tbe Presbyterian syno d meets bere soon, with four hundred m embers, and the United States Temperance Union will also meet here shortly, so thst we will have plenty of strangers. But we always try to make strangers comfortable, and are used to crowds. We had very fine rains recently, and ev erything in tbe way of crops is flourishing. Watermellons as large aa a man can carry, for a dime, cantaloups, three for a dime. One day last week we shipped eighty car loads of csttle from here. There are four elevators and mills in the place that aver age tour hundred birrals of Hour per day. I noticed a building that is i umsnse in size and covers acres ol ground. I will learn its capacity and may say more about it then. T. B. Tuorso. r Communication. fkom ocb special corresposdext Post Rotal, September 21, 1885. The borough schools opened last Mon dar.

Their business has steadily increased, until now they are prob ably the largest manufacturers of this style of mscbine in the United States. Thev do business on a liberal and just basis. They sell a three-drawer, drop leat and cover machine for tbo low price of twenty dollars, including all the extra attachm-nts, and warrant tbem for tnree years, iney oner to send one to sny responsible man or wo man, to be tested in their own house two weeks beloro they pay one cent. This is certainly a fair proposition. They have lound this way ot doing business moro sat isfactory than to do as other companies do a bo charge forty to fifty dollars for ma chines, and pay agents twenty dollars a piece lo sell tbem. We advise all in want of a niachine to send for cirenlars and testi monials. Aduresa C. A. Wood Jt Co., 17 North Tenth Street Philadelphia, Pa. 9--8t. Personal Memoir, of General 1. S. Grant.

Some of these farmers toil year after year on almost barren fields, and hardly raise half a crop of any thing. Suppose they wouM buy a ton or two of Baugh's $25 Phosphate every year, and raise on one acre what t!;;-y now raise on three, and make their poor land good ; get plenty of wheat, "rye, grass, straw, manure and, the most needful of all, money. Will it pay? Of course it will. There is nothing a farmer can buy that will pay him so well for his investment in so short a time as Phosphate. Baugh & Sons, Philadelphia.
