our knowledge, to speak in terms Of con.

men while returning FROM a singing school
| IN the village of Paradise, in the vicinity
| of our borough, one night last week.
Rat we would be false to our convictions
| Of our duty if we failed to hold up to pub.
Gcscorn any creature in human sembance
who would wantonly for the qualification
Of low and base feelings, insult females
while returning from place of amuse-
ment or instruction. We have been in
formed that such conduct was INDUCED
BY several young persons, whose names, in
,he hope that they will never allow them
selves to be engaged in a like affair again,
we prefer to suppress. Obscene and vul-
rar language, insulting remarks, every.
thing, in fact, that their debascd imagina-
,ions could suggest that was outrageous
nd offens i've to the ears Of these defence
less young ladies were offered by those
men. For shame we say never again
while the breath infused into your bodies
by the Creator, continues to animate them.

juvenile PUCiLJsrs-It is sad spocta-
Gle to witaess bright and interesting boy
who ha. numbered scarce ten summers
engaged in street brawl with other lads
of his age with all the fury and ymdictive
rage that We sometimes sec in mon who
forget themselves aud resort to brutal vi
olence TO redress real or imaginary
wrong, We have beheld two or three
such scenes recently between lads of so
tender an age that it oemedalmostimpos-
,ible that they were yet but children, so
much rage and ferocity did they display.
This in great measure the fault of the
parents, who are too ap t TO neglect to dis
tnguish between a manly defence Of.
right, and degraded propensity for
rOwdyism and fighting. Children should
bo encouraged TO be brave, but should
never be permitted to be quarrelsome.-I
That simple yet beautiful precept of DR..
Watts should be early impressed upon
their minds that their little hands were

ATrAcK UroS TuRKuY.-War news being
all the rage, ne cannot refrain from allu-
ding in general way to gallant attack
made by few friends and ourself upon
large and finely dressed Turkey which au-
daciously made its appearance upon the
table OF Mr.. II. Ii. Morrow, the gentleman
ly proprietor of the Clearieid Hotel yes
terday at dinner. The attack was well
conducted and resulted in not only the
defeat, but complete annihilation Of the
enemy.
Mrs. Morrow has our thanks for remem-
bering US upon 50 important an occasion /.
and we most heartily bear testimony to
her excellent cheer.
PoLITIcAL.-We call attention to the
cards of several gentlemen offering them
selves as candidates for the nomination,
for the various county offices to be filled
at the next general election. With the
respective claims and merits of those aspi-
rants, who are all worthy men, it is not
our province to interfere. The people will ,
decide for them selves. Il
RArTING.-The recent rains have swollen
the streams considerably and on Saturday -
and Sunday last the river as far up as the
mouth of Chest Creek was in good rafting
order. A number of RATS went by here J
during those two days but we have not 5
learned whether the waters were high
enough to take them through to market
or not.
