EXAMINATION OF LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL
PERSONAL REFLECTIONS.

The closing Exhibition Of the Lancaster
High School, Mr.. s. Page, Principal, was
witnessed by the public on Wednesday ev-
ening last and admired by all. The pro-
gress of scholars and perfection in the parts
spoken and acted surprised every one, even
those who expected much. We think
there are none to dispute Mr.. Pages quail
fcations as teacher or his general
methed of conducting school. The rules
of his school are rigid and exact, as they
must necessarily be in all successful High
Schools. To the strong rules and Ian
gusge and high moral requirements laid
down and enforced BY Mr. Page is charga-
ble.most of the personal opposition to him
at first; since which,ime unpleasant words
on both sides and upon matters: not per-
tanning to his school have been spoken too
freely by his friends and opponents ,as we'll
as himself We hope it will yet appear
that neither side has intended any wrong
and that both sides will judge by the acts,
intents and motives rather than by the
words Of those thasrmay seem to err. 1t
is due to Mirage and all will concede that
his scholars have high faith in him as a
teacher, scholar and governor. - 81
The next term Of Mr.. Pages school'will
commence on Wednesday the 18th OF

AARON BURR AND BENEDICT ARNOLD.

The atlantic Monthly contains a bitter
review of Parton's life of aaron Burr,
charging that the author has lied from be-
ginning to end, and that the whole aim TO
cover up BuH's life of crime, double deal
ing and fraud, and to emulate the few
glittering sparks of good, ii there were any
in that traitors soul, The writer of the
review cautions the public against Parton's
ill-contrived conspiracy to deceive the peo-
Pile by his book of error and fraud. We
notice of late that certain politicians, ed
itors and cunning managers in the destruc-
ton and overthrow Of our Republican in
stitutions, are constantly emulating and
white. washing Burr and Benedict Arnold.
Almost every month the conspirator or the
traitor is beautifully set in flowers and pre-
sented to the admiration Of the public by
means of some newspapers. These papers
seldom or never refer to such acknowl-
edged patriots as Washington, Jefferson
and the Adamses; even General jackson
and the younger Adams are forgotten,
while such old Federalists as Buchanan
and such disunionists as jeff. Davis are
pulled to the skies. A deeper plotted
scheme was never laid, even by Burr him
self, to distract, divide, and spoil our ma
tionar faith in a democratic government;
for it is well understood that just in that
proportion as Burr and Arnold are elevated
so will Hamilton, Washington and Jeffer-
son sink in the public mind and with them
sink also our national faith in Democrat
ic or Republican Government. Democra-
cy is the child of those old patriots and
when you assail the father and tarnish his
glorious name you also degrade tho son.
God avert this inquisition Of modern trail
tors and save our. nation from destruction
May the Atlanticslong live to expose the
Burrs and Arnolds, with their legion of
human formed but devil hearted success

A SPECIAL: Ep1cT-HKAR. AND oEEY.

The Washington Union is the great
centra, organ Of the National Democra
cy," and the recognized exponent of the
Federal Administration. Its official rela-
tions to the party and the President, there
fore, invest its utterances with degree of
Importance to whichsthey are not intrinsi-
cally entitled. 1t is in yiew..of these facts
that special OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to the fol-
lowing paragraph in the Union of the 10th
ult: -
"We do not presume to sit in Judgment
upon the motives of those Democrats who
have seen proper to oppose Mr.Buchanan's
Kansas policy, nor do we arrogate to our
selves the right to read them out of the
party because of such opposition. We
however, do not hesitate to declare that
the admission of Kansas into the Union
under the Leeompton CONSTITUTIONS mom
the recognized and nell defined policy OF
the Democratic party; and that is so con-
sidered by very large majority Of that
party both in and out of Congress; and
that, whether it be made test of party
fealty or not, those Democrats who oppose
it are warning upon vital measure Of
their party, d. to that extent,at least, nausl
and aosN e regarded and dealt with as al
lens and enemies"

even, than Congress. 1t makes and it

It is getting to be regarded as a family

The ADMINISTRATION AND THE Pass.
1t is said that President Buchanan has
issued a mandate to his fnglers in Penn

the Lecompton fraud. A Lancaster man
gives an account of the conduct of the
Postmaster, there, in pursuance Of this
mandate, and adds:

is no bar to such edict. If it is trample it

Marriage of Mutas

The New York Express, of Wednesday. thus notices an interesting incident that occur red near that city:
 It is seldom we have witnessed so beautiful a ceremony the marriage of NJ ss Ellen l..
 -, of Boston, to Mr. Trist, of Phladeiphia. son of the well known nelro-t traitor oi the treaty of Guadalupe tlidalgo which took place on Tuesday morningin the pretty parish church. at New Brilh,on R. l. The bridal couple were both nutes-deat and dumb from infancy. No sweet sound had ever enchanted the eter nal silence of their mind, But the intelliaence and esprit which flashed from the dark eyes of the lovely bride, proved that the intellect was as bright within, as among her mora favored sisters.
 We all know the exquisite beauty of the marriage service of the Episcopal church. but new graces and force were lent it by the sym bolic rendering of the Rev. Mr. Galaudet, who with Rev. Pierre Irving performed the cere- monv. The Rev. Mir. Irving very slowly and emphaticlly read the service, which Mr. Gal laudet translated by signs with wonderful fidelity and rarihtv, the bride and grooms re- beating these signs as they were indicated by their clergyman. Several times the sign-lan- guage i' gered afterrthe word language had ceased, and then the silence which reiyned in the church and the breathless interest which enchaln"d every spectator was almost painful The solemn VOWS being symboled before the throne of grace, the Lords prayer followed: and who can describe the mute eloquence of that mute prayer, so devotionally followed bv the young couple! When the nuptia benediction was s ently pronounced above the lowlv bowed heads of the kneeling pair, there was that which spoke louder than words in the graceful sign- language of the officiating minister A few letters--a word or two--then the hands up- raised towards Heaven--to God" who had :" bound together"--the tight casped hands the sou speaking glance upward away upward again few wordS--the hands placed in bles- sing upon the heads of the now "man and wife'' "a solemn silence and all was over. Nc one moved for some moments; we all felt we had caught glimpse of the spirit land, and we longed for one more glance into that silent spirit world. But the groom was leading his beauti. ful, graceful bride to the church door; we have her quiet happy smile put away in our memory ;o gladden. some dark hour. Ere we could ut ter a fervent {" God bless you" they had quiet ly passed away--alone with their mute happi ness.

Or case of "love at fl st sight' is record ed by the London Court Circular in story of a man "who Is now in St. Luke's mad house, and has been detained there ever since the occ,r- renee took place which consigned hm to it's walls. Lady - was so exquisitey fr, so singularly graceful, that it was difficult for the eye of man to behold her without preferring her to any other of her sex. A porter was sent from railway terminus to this lady by her brother; this man, the present occupant of St. Luke's, got to the door in Parklane just as the beauty alighted out of her carriage from an air ing in Hyde park. The man who never seen laiy - as she was then, tripping up stairs, asked a servant for the lady to whom the letter was directed, and was answered, he might give the letter to him for his lady. On the poor fel- lows refusal, as he was ordered to deliver it into her own hands, he was shown into her apartment. The man. being with the laiv alone whilst she was employed reading the let. ter, fixed his eyes on her intentiy, as if lost in thought; but, before she had done reading il, he violently, and with transport, flew into her arms, and gave her nunberless devouring kisses. Lady - was so surprised that she lost the power of crying out; but iu the struggle with such sudden and strange lover, she caught hold of the string of the bell, rung it violently. aadt a servant appeared From that moment the unhappy man lost his reason, and was commit. ted to the mad house. It is due to lady " to state the fact the maniac lover is freauently visited, and wholly supported by her."

 Cruel Treatment of White Slave by Her
 White Mistress-Where are the Aboli-
 tionists?
 About the 1st of July, a woman named Mrs Fo>ter, residing about four miles this side of Falton, went to the Orphan Asylum and through the recommendation of respectable citizens, obtained little girl named Mary Ben hett, about ten years oI a.,e, whom she said she wished o bring up The matron told her that the girl was addicted to fbbing, and had bsen caught Tn attempts to appropriate things that dld not belong to her. The woman gussed she would get along with her. She took the girl and last week brought her back. The girl was hn and emacated, and according to the wo- man's oaon story had received the most cruel treatm ent.
 For he slightest offense she would whip her Tn the )St severe manner, and if this failed to make her cry, she wouli place the little girls finger on the stove, and hold it there until it was cnpsed and burnt, and the child would cry. At other times this human tgress would seize her by the cartilage of the nose between the nostrils, and pinch her in the most cruel manner. and that, to Use he old hag's own words "wonld brhS the tears into her eyes;' and when the Slf returned to the asylum, the marks were SUI therc ana ler fingers all crlsped and burned.
 She gave her but half enough to eat: and when one day she put tin ol apples into the oven, telling the girl she might have one if she would watch them until they were done, the glri devoured the whole of them When the woman came bAck and asked the girl what she had done with the apples, the girl told her she had eaten them She then gave her cruel whipping, burnt her ing ITS, and otherwise ma- L
 treated her, and this not being enoug 10 satisfy her, actually kept her on nothing but bread and water for two weeks, making her eat in the shed, and sleep on the floor
 The woman had two or three boys, who always gave her slap or kick whenever she came near them. This is the womans own story. The ladies at the asylum represent the girl as being very smart, active and intel- gent. Such brutality should not pass unnotced, and she should receive lesson that will incul- cate little humanity in her miserable soul.-- Os1ego Palladium

Just. Married.

She stands down-looking on the sparkling tide, Of the brish river, halfin blshfu fear, Half bounding in joy to find herself bride, Her blue eyes glistoning with an infant tear,
 Her lip, apart, Her color raised, and you might almost hear
 Her beating heart. He sits beside the rivers bank, his eyes Upturned to her sweet face, with looks so full or admiration, as fl earth supplies To him nc object so b-autiful,
 One ringlet fair Has left its sister curl, and nesting lies
 h his dark hair It is the ight of summers eve; And crimson flush just tips the western trees. As though the lingering sunbeams sighed to
 leave
 That loving couple fair, sweetening to breeze
 With houeyel words Mid flowers and ripping streams, low humming
