A Singular Character.

SAASSA
We were visited this morning says
the Easton Express, by Herr Harden
burg, of Vienna Austria, late master
of horse to Prince Demidoff, of Rus
sia The customary salutations and
courtesies having passed between usa
during which his Highness' late mas
ter of horse and our humble self stood
uncovered,-the gentleman took the
chair to which we motioned him with
all the gace we could muster, and
commenced to relate chapter in his
life. He said that be was long a resi-
dent of Vienna, where he lived happi-
ly until some wicked noblemen, wish
ing to blast the reputation of fair
Princess, circulated a story to the
effect that the lady and him (his High
ness's master of horse were lovers,
and that their intimacy had gone so
far as to become criminal, which so
exasperated the friends of the Princess
that he was obliged to fee from the
country to escape their wrath. This
was what the noblemen desired. They
wished, he said, to destroy the name
of the girl and drive him from the
country. He said that on his way
through Europe he was pursued by
enemies who tried in every way to
take his life Efforts were made to
poison his victuals, but he defeated
such schemes by cooking his food
himself; he was assailed at least a
dozen times, but always managed to
escape unframed from his assailants.
When he arrived in this country he
said he hoped to be no longer troub-
led by his enemies, but he had discov-
cred spies on his actions even here.
He had work which he was desi-
rous of issuing, but nearly all of the
publishers were bribed and would lis
ten to no proposals from him. Prince
Llchtenstein and Count Rinner, he said
he wished US to understand, were not
of those who were prosecuting him.
They were men of honor, who would
not stoop to anything so base.
His Highness's late master of horse
wore suit that had seen much service,
but everything about his person seem
ed to be very clean. He carried with
him one or two bundles and tin cup,
which latter he used in cooking, and
seemed to be man of education. We
need hardly say that the poor fellow
was deranged.

Night School.

Night School.
These schools, of such incalculable
value to the city, are equally important
to the country. There may be found
in all communities o mum err of youth
and young men who earn their living
by the "sweat of their brow " and are
kept toiling from morn to night. They
have no advantage shown them, where
by they may educate themselves for
higher positions, if we except the Lit
erary circles" and Debating Soci-
cites" which may be found in every
village of any size We advocate the
formation and carrying on of these
means of advancing instruction, be-
lieving them capable of exerting good
influence if properly attended to, but
highly injurious if not The night
school offers more inducements to the
class above mentioned, and we are
pleased to notice the effort which Mr..
J. NJ Robinson, the worthy principal
of our school, has made, and the sue
cess he has met with in establishing a
sshool under his especial care Almost
every night do we watch that twinkling
light which issues from the window in
the south wing of the building on the
hill and heartily wish much good may
redown to the undertaking.
