TIM T'Arth ApiE : . CD2iCERTS:--amSt, 'Week
Monday evening the Hall Wasabout half fill
ed with people assembled to listen to the mu
sic and witness the comicalities of the Tre
maine BioNers and J. G. 'Pierson. liti'e re
gretted that the audience was not larger, for
we felt surd that the troupe deserved a bump
et, But we consoled ourselves with the re
flection that this was the first - time - the com
pany had over been heard in Wellsboro, and
that they always .improved upon acquaint
ance. We felt sure' that Tuesday evening
would witness a better turnout; and so it did.
That simple fact is the most complimentary,
as it is the most weleome indorsement any
public performercan receive.
We don't prend '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 " Rocked in theCiadle.of the
Deep" was excellent, while the final quar
tette "Come where my LoVelies,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 elicited 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 are things to be ssen and enjoyed,
Mot described nor criticised. In short, 'take
them as a whole, these concerts were unusu
ally attractive and entertaining, land ,we
think, if they are ever repeated, that we, "can
safely assure the troupe of a 'warm welcOnte
to Wellsboro.
A SuAsn-uP.--There was quite an . excit
ing runaway on Main street last Monday
about one o'clock in the afternoon. Ablack
colt, belonging to a Mr. Sutton'of Whitney
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
.Robinson," and brought up on his side
against a tree, the curbstone and a couple of
Other teams. He quickly jumped up again,
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.
OUB. PUBLIC SCHOOL— THE MEETT/CO
FRIDAY NIOHT.—The court room was well
filled last Friday evening by an audience
called together to hear Prof.. t F. A. Allen of
Mansfield lecture on the subject of education,
and to take intiitonsideration what Should
be done to advance the intersts of our pub
lic school. The meeting lasted - about three
hOurs; breaking up at helepast ten, and du
ring the whole time every person present
seemed deeply interested in the proceedings.
There 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.
Web!), and it was organized by the election
of Mk. Hugh Young as President and Alr.
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 age 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 t , the .truth 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 ,!
i . ailroads,.and fill all our dices-and posit
Cons. The future maim:lies wrapped by in ,
the children to-day as surely as the onk'lieS.
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 a
mean question. It is a fearful feet that the
criminal class now is younger by far than it
was a feW years ago. Ho found this was su.
all over the country, in all our large cities.
He found in the M4lne state-pifstin one-half
the convicts under u 0 and-one-fourth orthem
under 20 years-of age.. Virhyis 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 tared the question of the ed-,
ucation of our boys properly, but look at it
ns we might have done fifty years' ago.—
Tempiations.for boys were now inereased,on
every hand. Every public improvement
brought in its train a new class of evils. Ho
had no doubt we already felt this here in
Welkboro; he knew they did in Mansfield.
We do not appreciate the common school,
although our school system in 'Pennsylvania
was perhaps the hes - tin-the country.' We do
not eppreciate and synipathise with the.
teachers as - We should. 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 gins better
now, but teachers were still generally looked
down upon• l they were not regarded as on,a
social equality with other men. Many ii
parent would not recognize a teachei• out of
the school room. The ministers are recop--
nized and re,,peeted in society, and he-be
lieved that in comparison With the teaches,'
they are not worth the snap -of your finger.
o,vlien you consider the work each has to- /So.
He evhorted the people of IV b ellsboro ;2, X.k,
apeei tile teacher for thesake of the cause;
i t ; engaged in. Do parerits visit the' schools
ns they should? Ile eared not what flue
huil.lings you erected, what expensive books
yoa . l'urflislied;. what-high salaries you paid
your teachers, the school could. not proipef
urn yeti gave it your attention and sy -
pal by. Let no month pates that you do hot
know what is going on in the school house,
how your children are getting :thin;
there.
lINII
Another trouble with our boys is that they
nut Lave th,. homes they need to sliMd
them from the manifola temptations tb
they are t-xposed. The young boy is OV-01-
flowinc; with life and spirits which must find
an outlet. His wants are legion ; he will
turn the house upside down, until at bit he
told to go any e: here outdoors torget rid of
him. He goes into the public street, end !is
tens with open ears to the blasphemous and
chi , ;cene talk of the corner loafers—talk rim
which his mother would .give the world to
proteethim—while she is at home engaged in
that most senseless of all occupations—Lnik
ing tatting. She may one day stand bet ere
the i 3udgement-scat charged with the lo=; of
that bov's soul, and have to plead to her
credit a few yards of useless tutting
Made to be worn out' of sight. We sliou;il
give our boys attractive books at home. If
we furnish them there only with-,Barter's
Saints' 'Best and the ißook of Martyrs we
/MIT find them' some day with diino nov
ei-7 in theli. pockets. There are many, home, ,
where even the county- paper is ''not taken,
where there are 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'.
. I gi ! ,bos :4 l)ioitkd effpn4

are plenty who talk at them, when they do'

house. - 1 - te - felt sure--if he . could 3 induct, all
parents to know where their : children wore
between dark and bedtinio - he could itriprO4'
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 nine4entbs of thtt
sons of farmers in Tioga county. now above
113 rears of age are fully.determined to leave
the fiqm 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. They make drudges of thetrif
don't allow them means to make them feel
respectable among men, and then wonder
that the 7 Y want to change for some work
where they can have decent - clothes and
pleasant surroundings.. The "old man'-' tells
the boy that ho must be as saving as he. can ;
that when he dies—and he probably won't
live forever!—everything shalt be the son's.
Meanwhile .the 15hy thinks there. is some
chance of dying first himself, and weuldpre
fer to take some of-the earnings as , ho goes
along. The true way is to identify ,yoUr boy
with every field, and give him tt - shareiii 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,—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 Maj.
Merrick was called upon to speak. Ho said
that we-all believe in schools, and in being
tvixed.to maintain them, for when we build
school houses we- sow seed-thoughts. Ho
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 n4such law
here; tn.° parent here had the least excuse
for neglecting his child's education,' for 'it
was free to all; and it was really, „irioWim
pOrtant than their maintenance: • - What .we
needed was a higher, broader, deeper educa
tion of the mind, heart and body—an gdmea
tion that gbes down deeper than the frosta
of revolution. Build' more sobgel hoises,
employ more teachers, pay theta -better
gee, and so make it mdticeinent foi; able
men "to 'become • teachers. An&!to- • eveiy
school house he would - attach A gyinnasitiro.
Place the Bible in the; public schools , and
keep it there. 'Make edtication' cofriputiory.
Ignorance is the great danger ofthe country
to-day. Let us remember-that "the educa
tion of the few is despotism; the : edUetition
of the many is liberty.:'
• Mr. J. B. wiles was called outand,exeo,sell
himself on account' of a told.' :He t hearkily
indorsed what' had been 'said. He 414 a
member elect of the School Board, and if he
Lined to take hiskseat, he would alivays vote
for the advancement of the graded school.''
- The Chairman thought the 2dtkclysion', so
far was a little too general. He Wanted tO
ask n conundrum which Was ! this ; How are
we to put 500 scholars into .buildinks intend-
ed for 3002 • ,
Rev. Dr. Buck said that. he could- not
answer that question; but he wished to reply
to one point of Prof. Allen's remarks. Ho
was surprised to hear what that gentleman
had said about the social standing of teach.;
614, - 11e had lived hi this' State only about
eighteen months; but he was well •acquaint-;
ea - with Elmira, Geneva, 'Rochester and sei , -;
oral other plaociin New York;:;and, Ist...west
sure there was -no-such ge ling,'-ttliogiiiacheis l
in any ortlibse plat6s, :: . ,
Prof. Allen said that he,liad taught school.
fifteen - yeara hi the State if New York; and
he thought'his statement lit that. regard war :
correct. or'course, there 'Might- not be the
same feeling _in some. of 'the
,la4ger:ftiwns
where the more prominent teachers wetilo
eatod—inon who would compel respect - nriy. - r

Dr.'Webb'said ho NVAS not going to answer
the Chairman's_ conundrum. He had hen
a Echoctl dit:ector for ten years, •andlhad' ; al
dwaya none what he could. to- stisfain . lhe
school.. We have now "between four "nn~
