A correspondent of the Scranton City Jour

ford Soldiees,Orphan School.
zi
Tins institution is .pleasantly located at Har 7
tord,'Susquehanna County, and is no.* itz full
tide of prosperity,' with nearly : two hundred 1
students. The . school is conducted by Pr6f.
H. S. Sweet as Principal anel pioprictor. The
Professor is Well adapted to form and. mould
the material upon which he acts, and his lark, I
experience in teaching is 'an assuranee.ot his
'continued 'success. :He seems well.. fitted to
make men and woinen of those poor. orphan
children, 'and undoubtedly he is now doing the
most interesting and. itnportant work' of life.
l'was taken through the several departments
of the school, saw their sleeping and wardrobe
departments,. and 'noted the - good order and
neatneEs of . the whole. The schoc k l is certainly
in good condition, a credit to Gov. Curtin; who
,conceived the plan; a credit to the state which
has so wisely and liberally executed it. Those
who desire to visit that institution will be
pleased by so:doing. . - L.
The Carbondale Advance says the thunder
storm .ot Wednesday night was .tereific for a
while. The lightning struck the City Hall, but
did not do any considerable 'damage to the
building. A few brick were dislocated and
sent across the yard, and the gasTipe was
struck, lighting the gas, which caused Lan alarm
of fire. The conflagration was soon eitinguish
ed, however. - -
The greatest damage done by theorm was
done to the water. mains. Five brlks have
already been diScovered. The lightning follow-.
ed the pipes that run through the court house

site James Stott's, another on the square, op

PROVISIONS FOR EUROF'''4
The Bethlehem' Times says : "Large con
signments of freight intended for shipment
abroad are no* corning down over the Lehigh
Valley'Railroad, off the Erie third rail, and go
hence to Philadelphia over the North. Penn.
Railroad.' This freight consists of corn, bacon,
lard, &e., .te. Twenty-two ears of corn went
down last Friday, ,and' this was fallowed by
nine cars of bacon on Saturday forenoon, from,
which it May be inferred that- our English
brethren propose 'living high' on •corn cakes
'and 'flitch.' These goods are consigned to
W. Brockie, Liverpool, England,' and go
across the Atlantic by the 'Dominion Line'
from - Philadelpliia. These shipmebts are,,
probably, the first fruits of the recent meeting
of railroad officials, the obj ect, of which Was to
secure som of the foreign business via Phila

Tuesday morning,. between five and six

CRA.MIUNG.
The mind of a child, like body, is of :Ow
growth. Education 'is the product of this
growth. There is , certainly' such a thing as
mental pyspepsy,
,the_ fatal effect of cramming.
Teachers and parents should not measure Men-,
tal de velopment by the number of studies a '
child engages in or by the number of books he
carries home. We 'commend the , following to
those Who burry their children "
Doni Overload ' your children's minds with
knowledge. Do not; force them to look for-
Ward td the time .when
. they shall leave school
as to :a release from misery. Strive to induce
in them a. taste for study and a desire for infor
mation, rather than to cram them
, with!ibook
learning as one would cram a tatted turko for
market,. They may - not make such brilliant
boys and girls, but . they will make morecapa-
We' and intelligent Jnen and women.' -You
want, not precociOns . blossoms, but whOlsome
fr uit. See to it, then, that - the flower of child
hoodbe not abnormally stimulated, a the risk
Of stunting-the lruit of maturity. At a ,friends
,
house lately I asked a school boy of thirteen
what he was studying, Ills answo . was
prOmPt . andcategorical : "Arithmetic, algekra,
grammar, geography; histOry, natural philoso
phy, Latin, French, writing, com Position,
elocution and drawing." Wow, there was a
mess. Fancy all thole''diflerent branches of
study pursued simeltaneously ,and stored big,
geldy-piggeldy, end over end,',conftised and
confounded, in a boy's mind. &lid, this child
of thirteen years spends five, hours every day ,
in recitatiops and exercises at school, and studi
ies four hours a day at home. Total a day'S
work of nine hours for a boy, while able-body
ied men claim that eight hours ts as much as
they can stand. . - • , •
The following is the substance of a law 150
years old, wnich is still n in full force' forbiding
the firing of a , gen, making or selling squib,

has never been repealed. rther , no person
is allowed to shoot at a - pige nor other towl3n
any city or town, la street or garden, ' and if ,

shillings. For firing off a pistol, hand-gunn► or
