Storm on Sunday-Rise in the Octoraro
and Susquehanna-FaShtng, &c.
RowLANDsviLLg, Mar. IS, 80.
Mr.. EpIroR:-We were visited on
Sunday afternoon with heavy rain,
accompanied with hail for some minutes,
very heavy thunder and vivid lightning.
The rain has raised the Octoraro, but
not enough to do any damage. The
long looked for, and much desired high
water has come at last in the Susque-
hanna. The river IS quite high, and
bids fair for good rafting season.
All hands and hearts on the Susque-
hanna are anxiously looking for The
white pine boards and blue stockings. 1t
is said, there is large quantity of lum-
Der to descend the river; we hope this is
the case, as the lumber trade is of great
value to our Port Deposit folks.
Mr.. G. Cooley has repaired to the
Potomac, to commence fishing, we wish
him great success; his industry and good
management deserve a rich reward He
is one OF the best farmers in our section.
In haste, yours, p.

A LARGE HAUL.-The police of Phil
adelpha made large haul of jeweIry,
in kensington, on Friday last, 1t ap-
pears that it has been recognized as a
portion of the goods stolen from the
store of George ". Harris, at Mont
gomery, Alabama.
The person who deposited them where
they were found is supposed to be James
Brown, alias Nathan Rhodes. This in
dividual, distinguished among the po-
lice records of the country, came to
Philadelphia, about the LIST of February,
and opened barber shop on the Ger
mantown road, where he remained I'M
til some of the officers discovered him,
when he suddenly left, and died on the
18th of that month, in Minersville,
SchuylkilI, Co., of hemorrhage of the
lungs. The deceased although but 81
years of age was convicted of robbing a
house in Park place, New York, in Ju-
ly, 1914, and sentenced to ten years
imprisonment. After serving five years
in Sing Sing prison, he made his escape
and since that time has managed success
fully to elude the officers of the law.
He is said to have been an accompl,ce
of John H. Stevens, and is believed to
have been concerned in TIE Portsmouth
Bank andother heavy robberirs. The
property recovered, is valued at $3.50

For The Cecil Wig.
THE ANCIENT ACADEMY.

LIE Guy OF AtnenS, according TO Or.
Potter, was twenty two miles in cir.
cumference. The Ceramicus, public
burying ground,!was about mile north
of the city, in which were the Acade.
my, and many other public edifces.
The location was originally low and
marshy, which rendered it extremely
unhealthy; bat it was afterwards drain
ed by Cimon, who adorned 1t with great
elegance and splendor. The Academy,
like the Lyceum, was Gymnasium, in
which some were instructed in all the
athletic exercises: namely, boxing, dan.
cling, wrestling, leaping, and hurting the
javelin; in order to prepare them for
military exploits; whilst in others, lee
lures were delivered to students, in Or
der to develope their intellectual pow
ers, and prepare them for exhibitions of
forensic elo1uence.
The Academy was so designated,
from Academus, an ancient hero, who,
when Helena was stolen and concealed
BY Theseus, discovered her location TO
her brothers. For this act, he was high
ly honored by them during his life;
and when, in subsequent ages, the Lac
edemonians made predatory excursions
into Attica, they always spared this
place for has sake. The Academy was
adorned by CImon with shady groves
and private walks, which rendered it
beautiful place for study and medita-
tion:-for ''calm contemplation and po-
etc ease"
Hesychus, however, asserts that these
grounds were the property OF Acade-
mus, citizen of Athens who made them
a bequest to the city; and hence origi.
mated the appellation of Academy. So
Horace: "ln Academus' grovesto search
for truth" Plato presided for forty
years over the Academy.
Aristotle, who had charge of the Ly-
ceum. was the inventor of Logic; Hem
ocrates divided the Sciences into Logic,
Physics and Ethiss; and Plato into the
knowledge Of human and divine things.
And although some of Plato. opinions
were visionary and absurd, yet his doc
trineS were generally ola more exalted
character than any of his pred, cesso"c.
The following were his ideas of the De-
ity: ,'The Creator of The universe is
one; immortal, infinite: the ceatre OF all
perfection, the inexhaustible source of
Intelligence and being; who was before
he created the universe, and had mani
Tested his power by any external act,
for he had no beginning; he existed in.
dependent of all other beings, in the un.
fathomable depths of eternity G..
