TIE PRESIDENT IN A. d.. 190O-The boy is
now living who will be President of the United
States in 1900 He is about ten or twelve years
of age. His parents in humble circumstances,
but Of sterling traits Of character, and their is
not one Of those dirty, noisy boys that spend their
rowdyism. On the contrary he is of serious cast,
is very studious, and withal is we'll behaved.
Teacher, weigh well your responsibility. The
future President may be in that grammar class
that you think scarcely worthy of respectful
attention.
What boy of all readers will lay claim to
this distinction? Recolect, the future President
is not found among the Sabbath breakers, the
everyday idlers, the evening rowdies, the bias
phemous, the vulgar, among those that love
and make lie. He is not one of those who pride
themselves being Young America, and dcspise
the authority of father, or break away from the
gentle restraint of good mother.

DIGEsTIBILITY OF FLESH The flesh of young
animals is tenderer than that of adults and tender
ness is quality which favors digestibity.
Nevertheless, we shall err if fixing our attention
on this quality, assume that the flesh Of
young animals is always more digestible than that
of adults; we shall find veal to be less so than
beef, and chickens less so than beef. The reason
given for the first of these exceptions is that veal
has less of the peculiar aroma developed in cooking;
the reason given for the second, that the texture
/ of chicken is closer than that of beef and being
closer is less readily acted by the gastric juice.
Every one knows that veal is not very digestible,
and is always stunned by the dyspeptic. On the
other hand, in spite Of chicken being less diges-
tible than beef, it is moro suitable for delicate
stomach and will be assimlatcd when beef or other
meat would not remain in the stomach-an ex-
ample which shows that even the rule of nutri-
tive value, being determined in great measure by
digestibiity, is not absolute. and which further
! shows how cautious should be in relying upon
general rules in so complex. The age of
animals is very important Thus the flesh of the
kid is very agreeable but as the kid approaches
the adult period there pronounced an odor de-
veloped from the hric acid in its fat that the flesh
becomes ureatable. Whereas the OK and cow,
fattened for two years after reaching full growth
have acquired the perfection of their aroma and
| flavor. The difference between lamb and mutton
is very marked especially in their fat, that of mat
ton containing more fatty acid, and being to many
stomachs quite intolerable

PROFESSOR HUEY-As announced in
our first number, this gentleman, assisted
by his class, gave farewell concert at the
Independent Church, on Monday night
last. We were present, and were delight
ed with the manner in which both tutor
and pupils acquitted themselves. The
latter, (numbering, we believe, about so, }
individually and collectively evinced great
knowledge of the musical art, and did
some singing that would have done credit
to Father Kemp's Old Folks. The SUI
cess which has followed the Professors
efforts in our midst shows conclusively
that he is an adept in the business of
teaching vocal music. We trust that next
summer he will be with us again. He
leaves here, we understand, with the view
of teaching q class in Huntingdon, and he
carries with him the respect and esteem of
all our citizens.

EBENSBURG BRASS BAND.-Sometim
during the past winter, party of worthy
fellows, consisting of Robert Litzinger,
c. L. Roberts, John Rodgers, Jr., j. N.
Kinkead, David Evans, Felix Henle, John
Evans, Jeremiah Pagan and g. Alexander
Kinkead, all good and lawful citizens of
our town, conceived the idea of supplying
want which had long been felt, by the
formation of Brass Band. Accordingly,
they procured the necessary instruments,
and engaged the services of Professor
Smith, of Indiana, for the purpose of in
struction. Under the tuition of the Pro-
tessor, and by reason of the fine musical
tastes of each of its members, this Band
has already attained a degree of perfection
which is truly astonishing. Devoting
themselves to practice at regular intervals,
they now execute variety of quadrilles,
polkas, waltzes, marches, quicksteps, &C.,
with the greatest precision and nicely; and
soft in the Silly night" salute our citi-
zens with ''concOrds of sweet sounds"
really and truly refreshing
We are assured that, if this Band con-
tinucs to act as band of brothers, it will
ere long be one of the best bands of mu-
sic in the State Reader. if you don't
believe this, come to our Agricultural
Fair and hear them.

MAJ. J. d. HAMILToS.-Op Monday
last, this prince of good fellows, and high
ly popular landlord, happening to be in
our town, took occasion to illuminate our
sanctum a short time by bobbing round to
see us. The interest Of the visit was
somewhat increased by the fact that he
brought with him a monster after the
manner of a watermelon, which, upon
motion of the Major, duly seconded by
ourselves, was "laid upon the table,
''without money and without price" We
return the Major our warmest thanks, and
earnestly hope that he may live long
enough to bring us many more water-mel-
ons.
