Monday evening the Hall Wasallout half fill
ed with people assembled to listen to the mu
sie and witness the comicalities of the Tre
maine Brothers and J. G. 'Pierson. Ve re
gretted that the audience was not larger, for
we felt sure; that the troupe deserved a bump
er. But we consoled ourselves with the re
flection that this was the first - time — the com
pany had ever been heard in Velliboro, and
that they always .improved upon acquaint
ance. We felt sure' that Tuesday evening
would witness a better tqrnout; and so it did.
That simple fact is this most complimentary,
as it is the most weliome indorsement any
public perforinerS can receive.
We don't pretend 'to-.musical 'cultivation
enough to enable{us to criticise the entertain
ment. We only know that it pleased us; and
that it seemed to delight our, more 'musical
friends, many of whom were enthusiastic in
their praise of it. - - Mr. Pierson's
,rendering
of the bass solo " Reeked in theCradle.of the
Deep" was excellent, while the final quar
tette "Come where my Love lies,Dreaming"
was simply exquisite. Tho very fact that
these songs are old favorites familiar to every
ear tenders them the more 'severe test_ of a
sing is quality. Of Master 'Willie it is only
necissary to say that he
. clicited great ap
plause and Was complimented by numerous
encores, especially when arrayed in all Abe.
mysteries Of the female toilette.
But the excellence of the music was not
the only commendable feature of the-enter
tainment. The acting—and there was not a
little of it—was equally good. The mobility
and comicality of Pierson's face ansl voice in
bUrlesque aie things to be ssen and enjoyed,
apt described nor criticised. In short, take
them as a whole, these Concerts wee unusu
ally attractive and entertaining, land -we
think, if they are ever repeated, that we."can
safely assure the troupe of a warm welcOrne
to Wellsboro.
SmAsu-up.--There was quite an . excit
ing runaway on Main street last Monday
about one o'clock in the afternoon. A black
colt, belonging to a Mr. Sutton'of Whituey
vile, started from the front of the, meat mare
.liet on the South side of the street, ran , across
to the Cone House sidewalk, barely missing
the front steps, then brought down Hart's
new liquor sign before you coud lay "Jack

against a tree, the curbstone and a couple of

however, and played circus a few Minutes in.
the Middle of the street with the demolished'
buggy hanging, at his heels.. But he was
soon caught and quieted. The greater part
of the damage fell upon Mr. Sutton's buggy.
The colt did not . appear' to be hurt any,
though of course this piece of experience
hasn't benefltted him materially.
0171 t PUBLIC ScuooL— THE MEETING
FRIDAY NionT.—The court room was well
filled last Friday evening by an audience
called together to hear Prof.. l F. A. Allen of
Mansfield lecture on the subject of education,
and to take inteiconsideration what should
be done to advance the interests of our pub
lic school. The meeting lasted - about three
hOurs; breaking up at kalepast ten, and du
ring the whole time every person present
seemed deeply interested in the proceedings.
Tere was evident on all sides an earnest
purpose to further the interests of our pub
lic graded school and make it what it
should be for the credit of Wellsboro and the
benefit of The present generation of children.
The meeting was called to order by Dr.
Webb, and it was organized by the election
of Mk. Hugh Young as President and Air.
A. F. Barnes as Secretary. The Chairman
then introduced Professor Allen, who said
the most important_ question td-day is the
question of education; all others sink into
utter insignificance by, the side of it. There
is only one subject of equal importance, and
that is the Cross of Christ. The educational
problem before the people of this State is;
Given the 500,000 children of the State put
at the tage of six years into the . hands of
12,000 teachers, how shall they ,be •rendered
back at sixteen years of age prepared _ to 'en
ter upon the duties of life as men and :wom
en. The common idea was that the only
parties involved in this question were the
children and the teachers, but , the Amt."' is
there were other factors included in the
problem. The parents of the children were
included, and on them largely depended the
result.
'We' should remember that in less than
twenty-five years the children of to-day will
occupy every place now filled by us. They
will own out lands, run all our banks and
railroads,,and fill all our dices-and -pozil
Cons. The future maim:lies wrapped tip in
the Children to-day as surely as the oak
in the acorn. The felon's cell, - the prisons,
the Poor houses, and the 20,000 annual drun
kard's graves will also be filled froni these
boys of to-day,/ It becomes us then to con.
sider well the'question how we are to train
these boys, and it was not a .small nor n
mean question. It is a fearful feet that the
criminal class now is younger by far then it
was a few years ago. Ho found this was SQ.
all over the country, in all our large cities.
lie fennd in the Myne state-priSen one-half
the convicts under LI) and-one-fourth orthem
under 20 years-of age.. Why s is it that crime
is so on the increase?, - and - that every year
our criminals are a younger class? It is be
cause we do not met the question of the ed-,
ucation of our boys properly, but look at it
as we might have done fifty years' ago.—
Tempiations.for boys were now increased•on
every hand. Every public improvement
brought in its train a new class of evils. Be
bad no doubt we already felt this here iu
W'cllshoro; he knew they did in Mansfield. ,
We do not appreciate the common school,
although our school system in 'Pennsylvania'
sva; perhaps the bestin,the country.' We do
not oppreciate and sympathise with the.
teachers as "weshould. He had taught school
thirty-five years, beginning when it was re
garded as very small business, indeed. He be
lieved the feeling on that point was better
now, but teachers were still generally looked
down iipon• l they were not regarded as on.a
sooiul equality with other men. Many ti
patent would not recognize a teacheer out of
the school room. The ministers are recop--
nized and re,p r eeted in society, and he be
lieved that in comparison With the teitaets
they are not worth the snap -of your finger.
o,vlien you consider the work each has to
e eNhorted the people of IV b ellsboro ;to_ x.k,
spect :he teacher for thesake of the cause he
is engaged in. Do parents visit the' schools
as thoy should? Ire eared not what flue
buil.lings you erected, what expensive books
you i'urniAed;- what-high . salaries you intud
your teachers, the school could. not proipet
urn ie,l yeti gave it your attention and sy -
1/41 by. Let no month pass that you do hot
know what is going on in the school houso,
l,ow your children are getting alma-
there.
-(Itll,l
MI
Another trouble with our boys is that they
nut Lave th. homes they need to shit: t
them from the manifold temptations tb
they are exposed. The young boy is ovei -
flowing with life and spirits which must find
an outlet. His wants are legion ;he will
turn the house up - side clown, until at last he
told to go any e: here outdoors torget rid of
him. He goes into the public street, end lis
tens with open ears to the blasphemous and
ch;cene talk of the corner loafers—talk flout
which his mother would .give the world to
provothim—while she is at home engaged in
that most senseless of all occupations—Liak
ing tatting. She may one day stand horore
thi9udgement-seat charged with the lo=; of
that bov's soul, and have to plead to hc-r
credit a few yards of useless tatting
Made to be worn out' of sight. We should
give our boys attractive books at home. If
we furnish them there only with-,Barter's
St;iati t Piest and the ißook of Martyrs we
may. find them' some day with ditte nov
el-, in their pockets. There are many, homes
where even the county- paper ''not taken,
where there ari: no pictures and nothing to
interest enrboy. Then the boy' feels that
home is a good place to eat and sleep and
get his clothes mended, but for companion
ship and pleasure,he preferi the:44am'.
Offptg httAt hour
each'` day in tallting "NAM their boys. There
are plenty who talk at them, when they do'

house. - .ife - felt sure--if he. could induce all
parents to know where their. children were
between dark and beatilno - be could ittprMiii'
society fifty per , ent. within five years.
Th ere 'was a general complaint' that- . fa
mere boys would not remain farmers when
`they grew up, Probably nine.tenths of the
sons of farmers in Tioga county. now above
113 rears of age are fully.determined to leave
the fat;m as soon as they can. The reason is
that their fathers don't identify them with
the farm—don't give them an interest in it,
as they should. Th'ey make drudges of them;
don't allow them means to make them feel
respectable among men, and then wonder
that thq want to change for some work
where they can have decent - clothes and
pleasant surroundings.. The P. old man" tells
the boy that ho must be as saving as be. can ;
that when he dies—and he probably won't
live forever!—everything shall be the son's.
Meanwhile .the liby thinks there. is some
chance of dying first himself, and wouldpre
fer to take some of-the earnings as , he goes
along. The true way is to identify ,yoUr boy
with every field, and give him a - share - TA ev
ery crop.
Finally, we should remember that neglect
ed childhood brings vicious manhood. The
question is not whether our Children shall be
educated. Education they will have i —if not
of one kind, then of another. We cannot
prevent their education; - but we can deter
mine of what sort it shall be. Then- it be
comes every father and mother to lopk well
to the educational interests of their aildren.
The band then 'played a time, and 314
Merrick was called upon to speak. Ho said
that wall believe in schools, and in being
taxed.to maintain them, for when we build
school houses we- sow seed-thoughts. He
thought it was a good law of ancient Greece
that the parent who did not educate his chil
dren should have, no claim upon them . for
support in his old,age„. -There-is rkhsuch law
h ere ; 'nu Cno parent here bad the least excuse

was free-tci ail; and it was - reitilY,Morp.,. im

needed was a higher, broader, deeper educa
tion-of the mind, heart and body—an atimea
tion that gbes down deeper than the frosts
of revolution. Build' more school ' lioises,

Every ye: is= urea:Fes the popularity
of this valuable Urtir Preparation ;
which is due to Inert alone. We can
assine our old •patrons_that it is kept
fully up to its high, standard; and it
fp.e only reliable nn perfected prep
oration for restoring GRAN OE FADED
_E.4.a. to its youthful color, making it
.soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its nse, becomes white. and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dandruff;
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair , grows thicker and
stronger. In baldness, it restores tho
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create a now growth, except
,in extreme old age. It is the most
economical HAm Durssma ever used,
a 8 le requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap
pearance. A. A. Hayes; M.D., State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality ;. and `l .
consider it ,the BEST PREPAEATiOIti
for its intended purposes."
