Aith the conditions Of Admittapce, DC.
Washington, Pa, 1884,"
EE Through the politeness of the Super
intendent, Rev. 7 Hanna, We have been
favored with the above catalogue. Fromft
we learn that at the last session there were
eos students in attendance, and several Of
them from this vicinity; who we understand
are well pleased with the arrangements of
the Seminary. The following from the cat
alogue, will give better idea of the Semi
nary than any thing that We could write:
This Institution is pleasantly located in
the Borough of Washington, on the national
road, one of the greatest thoroughfares be-
tween the East and West; 25 miles from
Pittsburgh and 81 from Wheeling. Wash
ingtoD is one of the chief towns in Western
Pennsylvania, containing over 5000 inhab-
tisnts, generally industrious, intelligent and
moral. 1t is one of the most fertile spots in
the West, surrounded by picturesque scene
ry, and noted for its healthfulness; being
situated on the table land between the base
of the Allegheny range aud the great Wes-
tern Valley, it escapes the diseases incident
to both extremes.
The Seminary Buildings are large and com,
modious; the principal one is 1874 feet long,
wide, and four stories high, containing
40 lodging rooms, large Hall, Recitation
Rooms, &C., as well arranged as to light
air, and the general comfort of its in
mates.
The Pupils are Accommodated with furn.
ished apartments where they lodge and stu
dy. By occupying private rooms two in

neatness, order and delicacy; which are i'm.
possible where a number of individuals oc'

Cheap Postage.

A writer in the New York Courier Il En-
qlirer suggests that the thirty million sur
plus revenue be turned in for the benefit 5f
postage payers. He says, at struck me
that it would be very gratifying to the pub

the postage to one cent and appropriating
sufficient Of the accumulatng revenve from
other so@rees to make up what deficiency
there may be in the Post Office Depart

Whig candidate for Speaker.

AS there will be but few whig members
IN the next Legislature, it is supposed by
those who sogid know, that the contest for
the important post of being the whig candi-
date for Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives, will lay between the Hon. R. X.
Price of this county, and Gen. E. R. EckIy,
Of Carroll county. 1t il thought that Price
will be the cuccessful man, as his Legista-
the experience e and business capacities (?)
are much superior (?) to Eckleys. If this
should turn out to be the case, it will be the
first time that Harrison county has had this
distinguished honor, outofthe many aJte (?)
Representatives that she has sent to the

that distinguished honor. .... ...

A Queer Funeral.

A correspondent of the Norwich Conn J
Examiner writes:
between fifteen and twenty slaves com
menced a stampede from one of the South
erD States not long since, and arrived safe
y in city of the West, which is somewhat
famous as a gateway out Of the house Of
bondage, when To their utter CONSERVATION,
they found that their movements had been
anticipated, and every avenue leading from
the city was watched day and night for their
apprehension. What was TO be done? 1t
was hard 10 think Of going back. Scouts
reported that it was impossible to elude the
vigilenee Of a well paid, numerous and un-
scrUpulous police, which was surrounding
the ciy as a body guard. Those who
think colored peo lie do not know enough
to take care OF themselv S, would have CIV
en- their case up as hopeless, But not
they. Thinking that even hirelips slave
catcher would suffer funera procession to
pass unm olested upon the public road, a
number Of carriages were hiled, coffin and
hearse alsoprocmed, aud on "a summers af-
ternoon, the careless, passing throng saw,
as they supposed, colored funeral process,
sion slowly winding its out Of the city,
The sortege attracted little attention, quiet
y and without interu 1tion it passed sever
al miles beyond the town, where wagons
were in waiting. Hearse and carriages
were then dismissed. and near a score of the
happy children Of this model republic (D

The INFLExIBLE SECRETARIEs.-Eyery
week we have some new illustration of the
incoruptible fidelity of our trusty watchman
% the public !reasur, Secretaries Guthrie
and McCleland. The latter has lately de-
cided two cases which come to us nearer
home. or the merits of the claims we know
nothing.but they are certainly another illus
tration that the Tendencies" of the Secre-
tary are vigorously to the government lar
gesses, or TO the granting of questionable
demands. We allude to the unsuccessful
applications Of our lately appointed Indian
agent, HQu. j. 4. Fletcher, of Muscatine.
AS Mr.. Polk's Indian agent among the
Wjinebagoes, he applied for compensation
forces rendered in THAT capacity, or month
or two after his successor (appointed by the
succeeding administration had entered up
on the discharge of his duties. Mr. Fleteh-
or remained sometime at the agency, aiding
his successor 1T his request; the latter was
long since paid for his services for that time
The Secretary rules that there is no law au-
thorzing the payment of two such agents
at the same etimes and of course refuses 10
allow the claim. a"Ea
The second case is another claim of Mr.,
Fletcher for compensation as commission,
er for the removal of the Winnebagoes from
Iowa into Minnesota, Having performed
such services. he claims his pay for them in
addition to his regular pay as Indian agent
at that time. The Secretary is understood
to have rule that he cannot be paid in two
capacities at the same time-that he was
bound under his commission as Indian agent
to give the government all his time while
holding it, His. Reok. Dis.
