SCHOOL EXHIBITION. annual exhibition
of the pupils of st. Vincent Orphan Asylum
was held at the Asylum to-day in the presence
of the several pastors of the Roman Catholic
churches and many friends and patrons of this
valuable institution. The children acquitted
themselves very creditably. Their specimens
of neede-work, writing, &C., were much ad-
mired. We could not avoid remarking the
genteel appearance and excellent department
of these fatherless little girls, who by the
unrequited kindness Of the good Sisters of
Charity, have been rescued from the paths of
destruction, and provided with SO many COM
forts.

PROFITS OF AGRIcULTURE.-Smau well-tillei
farms, from which there is easy access to good
markets, are often exceedingly profitable. We
have frequently been astonished at the revenue
derived from a single kind of fruit or vege-
table. A New Jersey paper remarks Of the
strawberry trade of that State, that on one night
of last week 1872 wagons full Of the fruit passed
over the Hoboken ferry, principally from the
vicinity of Hackensack, Paterson, New Dur
ham, and Bergen. One gardener near Bergen
is said to have cleared $1,000 this season, A
large profit is reported to be derived also from
the manufacture of baskets in which the fruit
is conveyed to market, although they are sold
at the low rate of one cent each In view of
such statements as this how lamentable it is to
look upon the miserable, self indulgent, lazy
beings, white and black, American and foreign,
who lounge about our cities amid shiftless dis
honesty.

SANDFoRD's New ORLEANS OPERA TROUPE =
1t is little remarkable that every concert given
by this troupe in Washington was attended by
an oUertlowing audience until they offered bene-
fit to the National Monument Association, when
their hearers were sparse, and their net receipts
but twenty-nine dollars and levy. This is
comical, but true Let us see what can be done
on Monday evening for the benefit of our two
Orphan Asylums. Something far better than
this, we are sure. Our people must have forgot
themselves last evening.
Tonight and tomorrow night our Georgetown
fri ends will enjoy the exquisite music of this
co mpany.

THE New CosTUME.-The New York Sun is
ardent in opposition to this reform. Its editor
says:
And since we have been led to speak of Wo-
mems Rights Conventions, and a new female
costume, we will present our readers with the
Apostle Pauls views on these questions. Paul
was real reformer, and labored zealously in
the work Of human progress. The same folles
seem to have existed in his time that are ex-
hibiting themselves, perhaps more extensively,
in the present day. In his first epistle, OF let
ter to Timothy, he instructs him what he shall
teach, and how he shall govern as minister or
bishop in the gospel church and among other
instructions he gives the following:
"In like manner, also, that women adorn
themselves in modest apparel, with shamefaced-
ness and sobriety; not with broidered hair or
gold, or pearls, or costly array;
"But (which becometh women protesting
godliness) with good works.
"Let the woman learn in silence with all sub
lection.
"Bm suffer not a tcomdn 10 teach, nor TO uSurp
authority oUer the man, but 10 be IN silence
This editor is jealous man in good works,
and would for ever prevent any change in the
style Of ladies' apparel. "But the wicked are
not So" We would that he could ask Paups
opinion Of Aquila and Priscilla, and give us
another chapter on teaching!

SAD AFrLIcTIoN.-The late news from Cali
fornia falls heavily upon the Harrisburg COM
munity. OF the deaths at the great confagra-
ton in the city Of San Francisco, in May last,
they lost two. MAXWELL NUsBAUM, of the
firm of NUsBAUM s. BRoTHERs, merchant of
excellent standing, and a clerk by the name of
RosENTHAL in their employ, persisted in the
noble and praiseworthy effort of endeavoring to
preserve the goods and property of the firm OF
TArYE & MCAHILL. The sad intelligence, says
the Union, has created widespread grief in our
midst. Mr.. NUsBAUM leaves wife and two
very interesting little children to mourn this
irreparable loss.

CAPT. STEPHEN SMITH, a soldier Of the Revo-
luton, died in Northford, on the 23d inst, at
the advanced age Of one hundred years and six
weeks. At the close of the one hundredth year
of his age, many of his friends met with him
on which occasion sermon was preached, and
religious services performed, and the day closed
by the party partaking supper with the veneer
able old gentleman. The incidents recounted
by him and his early associates from this city,
who were then for the last time met together,
will be long remembered by those of another
generation who were present. Mr.. Smith was
many years engaged in commercial business,
and sailed from this port in the palmy days of
the Shipmans and Shermans. His life was
marked for strict integrity, energy, and perse-
sincerely devoted to his family
his friends his country, and the cause of Christ,
and we doubt not he has gone to his reward

GREAT WILL CAsE.-Slaves Liberated. -There
has been for some time before the courts at
Richmond, Va, what was known as the Rag

not meet with justice in the South. The Rich
mond Dispatch says.
"The will liberated 80 or 80 negroes in the
midst of one of the largest slaveholding COM
munities in the world, and devoted to their use
