Taylor :-Gcssaemcp
l shall not attempt now to answer your
reply to Mr.. Stevens article of last week.
The general scope and character of that
reply IS n Sufficient comment upon itself.
The question as I regard it, is one Of fact,
and to these facts we should candidly d.
rect our attention. Asperities and re-
elimination will not produce conviction,
or aid us in arriving at the truth. We
have opposed dancing and card-playing
as practiced here, because we find such
amusements here do not differ essentially
from them as practiced elsewhere. We
find they have been preceded by the
Same absorbing interest,-have been at
tended with the same esses,-followed
by the same lassitude of body and mind,
| and attended with Ike results generally,
so far as causes have had time to operate.
That such parties have been held here
frequently, at least recently, and usually
till late hours-midnight or into morn
ING hours, we think you will not deny
That those who engage in them are at
tached to them inordnately and indulge
in them excessively, we think is apparent
from what we have just stated; for amuse-
ments of any kind become too engrossing,
when they lead their yotaries, to break in
upon hours that Nature indicates as the
proper season for repose. That some of
our young people have moreover express
ed their attachment to these practices, by
sacrificing permanent home comforts, to
the transient pleasures of the dance and
card-table, is generally believed; and they
have in more than one case, expressed
their resolution to engage in them IN lam
guage that would not appear well in
print. Hence we conclude they have
here the same tendencies to excess as else
where; and that our young people have
nothing peculiar in their hysical, mental
or moral constitution, or their eircumstan
ces, to guard them against the insidiou'
nature of these amusements.
shall in this article confine my atten
ton, mainly to these practices, as affecting
the Educational interests of this commu
nitv-and | presume you will not disa
gree with me in saying, that if on exami
nation. they are found to be incompatible,
with the great ends of Education, "they
are detrimental, to the physical, intellec
tual, moral, and social interests of tbi
community" For all true education aim
at the proper development ofman in thes'
respects.
1t viii not be denied, that many of on
youth who indulge in these practices, ar
in process of education--they are a
school: and if these amusements in fu
ture. are as common rs they have been 70
few months past, all our children mus
be exposed to their influence. 1t mus
affect their education; using that term il
its broadest sense. Now we think tina
You, Gentlemen, who are parents canno

Another lenarture.

Mr.. T. NJ. Stiles, late of the firm of II. Stiles
& Co, has removed to Cincinnati, and, las may
be seen by their card in another column has
gone into the Produce and Commission business,
with his brother, Mr.. Henry L. Stiles. Both
gentlemen are natives of this place. For the
last twenty years Mr.. H. L. Stiles has resided,
chiefly, in Pittsburgh, Wheeling, and Cinein-
matt the latter part of his time acting as the
agent (which he still is,) of Holt d Maltby in
their extensive Oyster trade. In every place,
he has acted with the ~strictest integrity, and
made himself deservedly popular as a salesman
and a man.
Mr.. T. NJ. Stiles has been in business here,
from his loyhood, and has established for him
self the reputation of being one of the most
prompt, energetic, persevering and honorable
business men in the place.
We wish the new firm all the success which
they deserve, and We doubt not will achieve.

Shot the Wrong Bird.

On Saturday, Mr.. Alfred Cadwallader, and
Mr.. Doud were out hunting wild turkies in
the vicility of their farms in, but nei-
ther one of the hunters knew that the other was
out. Both protested remarkable skill in imi
tating the call of the turkey, and Mr.. Doud
having seen one turkey, was looking for it, and
at the same time calling. Mr.. Cadwallader an
swered him, and each supposed one turkey at
least was answering his call. Mr.. Cadwallader
had sat down in the woods, and Mr.. Doud hear
ing what he supposed was a turkey, calling,
and seeing a dark object move, he fired, the ball
striking Mr.. Cadwallader's arm, above the ell
bow, hitting the bone and glancing around it,
came out, Except through the skim on the other
side.
DIR. Harmon, who extracted the ball, says it
was flattened out thin, by the force with which
it struck the bone, which nevertheless was not
broken.

Arrival and Departure of Mails



Several years have passed since a course of
lectures have been delivered in this place
Other and smaller towns in the vicinity pro-
cure the best talent in the country, and why
cannot Warren We fancy there is no reason,
save that no one seems inclined to take the trou-
bic to bring the matter to the notice of our citi-
zens. If any arrangements are to be made for
a series of lectures, during the coming winter,
by some of the popular lecturers from the cas-
tern cities,-this is the proper time to make
them, before their engagements are SO made
that they cannot conveniently come here.
If it is thought best to call upon some of our
own citizens. and men of learning in the imme-
diate vicinity, whose services can be procured
at little or no compensation, (for many of them
will willingly labor for us gratuitously,) this
too should be done now, in order that ample
time may be given them for preparation without
too severelytaxing them, or interfering seriously
with other duties.
