Mr. DOUTKIOK, our merchant tailor, finds |
attachment to his old home stronger than his
desire for wealth, and has decided to close up
business here, and return to his home in Beth- I
lehem. As an evidence of appreciation of the
patronage bestowed upon him here, lie pro
poses during the few weeks which remain be
fore his departure to offer his stock of elegant
furnishing goods, and winter suitings at
greatly reduced orices. Those who have the
means to do so, can make money by making
their purchases for the present year now.
A paper on "The Disadvantages of City;
Boys," I>> Rev. WASHING ION GLADDEN, of
Springtichl. Mass.. is announced for an early
number of <S7. .V icltuhts. The article is said
to be based entirely on personal statistics,
gathered from a hundred prominent business
men. concerning their surroundings, habits of
li e, ets., during boyhood. They exhibit a
remarkable showing of the "Disadvantages
of Citv Boys," and enforce strongly the au
thor's hints toward a successful life. The
paper, moreover, is addr< ssed directly to the
boys themselves.
Conductor JOHN BECK, of s. L. & S. RR.,
suffered a paralyt ie shock .Saturday afternoon.
He was apparently in his u mil good health
at 3 o'clock when his train left the Court
House, but before lca\ ing' The Barclay depot
lie was prostrated by a stroke of paralysis,
which instantly rendered him helpless and
unconscious. He was at once taken to his
home, where he still remains in the same con
dition.
Mr. BUCK appeared in his usual health and
buoyancy of spirits when lie boarded his
train, and it is believed had no warning of
the attack which so suddenly rendered him
helpless. Ilis condition is most critical, and
his physicians say that there is but the faint
est hope of recovery.
Mr. BUCK has always been a kind hearted, 11
generous man. and lias hosts of friends who
will minister to his wants, and do every thing
in their power to restore him.
I*. S.—Just as we are going to press, we '
are informed of Mr. BUCK'S death, which oc- 1
cur red at 1 :20 this afternoon. 1
Apropos to the Robert Rakes Centennial,
! to be celebrated this year in England, Rev.
! EDWARD EGGLKSTON has contributed to the
! Midwinter Scribner a paper of "Present
Phases of Sunday School Work," in which he
makes some friendly criticisms of methods of !
teaching much in vogue, and f certain false
tendencies apparent to him in much of the
best meant effort. Mr. EGGLSTON lias all his
I life been identified with Sunday school work,
i and the Church of Christian Endeavor, in
I Brooklyn, has been doing unique and success
i ful mission-work by the methods to which lie
inclines. At the beginning of a year in which
i there will be much meaningless panegyric on
the system, his suggestions may well dial-1
lenge the attention of thoughtful Christian
people, and indeed of parents everywhere.
Tired Out.
[Can any one tell who is the author of these j
delicate and tender lines?]
He does well who does his best ;
Is lie weary? let him rest.
Brothers! I have done my best,
1 am weary—let me rest.
After toiling oft in vain.
Rallied, yet to struggle fain :
After toiling long, to gain
Little good with inickle pain,
Let me rest. But lay me low,
Where the hedgeside roses blow:
Where the little daises grow,
Where the winds a-maying go;
Where the footpath rustics plod,
Where the breeze-bowed poplars nod:
Where the old woods worship God,
Where His pencil paints the sod;
Where the wedded throstle sings.
Where the young bird tries his wings;
Where the wailing plover sw ings,
Near the runlet's rushing springs!
Where, at times, the tempest's roar.
Shaking distant sea and shore.
Still will rave old Burnesdulc o'er.
To tie heard by me no more!
There, beneath the breezy west.
Tired and thankful let me rest,
Like a child that sleepeth best
On its mother's gent 1< breast.

When Mr. and Mrs. W. K. MARSHALL
went home on Friday evening they found
their house tilled with a company of congeni
al neighbors, who had "dropped in" to spend
the evening. The pleasant affair had been
kept a profound secret, and the host and
hostess were taken completely by surprise.
The visitors, however, had made bountiful
provision in the way of refreshments, and
the evening was most enjoyable spent.
Rev. CO I RTLANDT WHITEHEAD, of Beth
lehem, occupied the pulpit of Christ Church
\ esterday. Ile renders the service admirably,
and is a scholarly, earnest and impressive
preacher. Both discourses yesterday were
full of seed thoughts, which could not have
failed to find lodgement in the heart and mind
of the most indifferent listener. The Rever
end gentleman's diction is perfect, ~/hiic his
earnestness hears testimony to his entire con
viction of the truths of the Bible, and that
he lias an experimental as well of intellectual i
knowledge of the Saviour.
There has hcen considerable interest created
over a ease which has been in progress in this
place during the week. Mrs. Caroline F.

£200; Carrie Gosiine £200; William R. Fow- 1
ler £200; Bertie and Minniellorton £2OO each,
and other bequests of personal property.
The will is being contested by one of the
legatees, William R. Fowler, of Washington.
He is represented by Messrs. Williams & An
gle; J. W. Stone and Delos Rockwell appearing
for the defense. James 11. Codding, Esq., of
Towanda, was appointed examiner, and has
been hearing the case. The examination

ilr-vr IMPORTANT TO SCHOOL DIREC
TORS AND TAX PAYERS—The fol
lowing decision of the Superintendent of
Public Instruction is of great importance to
tax-payers as well as directors, as violation
of the law upon the subject will deprive di -
tricts of the State appropriation, and subject
Directors to severe penalties:
DEPARTMENT OK PUB. INS., I
llarrisburg, l'a., Dec. 1, 1870. j
There i> but one time in the year when di
rectors can adopt a new series of text books
for the schools under their charge, or change
old ones, and that is between the time of
electing teachers and the opening of the
schools. Section 20. Act of May 1,1854, says:
"That immediately after the annual election
of teachers in each school district of the state,
and befere the opening of the schools for the
ensuing term, there shall be a meeting of the
directors or controllers and teachers of each
district; at which meeting the directors or
controllers shall decide upon a series of school
books, in the different branches to be taught
during the ensuing sche'M year; which books,
and no other, shall be used in the schools of
the district during said period."
Such is the law, with this exception, that
books cannot now be changed more frequent
ly than once in three \cars.
