a proposition to impose tax of ten per
ceas. on the pay of army officers, instead
ofredncing salaries, is received With much
favor, and many of the officers have petit
TONED for it. From this source, Govern
ment will receive a revenue of about S2G,-
ooo, 600. The petition states that they pre-
fer tax of even 10 or 90 per cent. to the
reduction proposed. Many senators and
members who have been consulted upon
the subject approve the idea and win lsup-
port it. II is also proposed to tax at the
same rate the salaries of all Government
employees.

On Friday night, Feb. 18th, death again
came among MS, and sumuoned one of our,
best men as suddenly az the shot could
have doue in battle.s Just after supper,
Peter A. BloomberR was seized with
sPasm from disease Of the heart. and died
almost Instantly. The deceased was ma
tive of Sweden. Leaving home of
wealth in Gottepberg, he at AN early age
entered the arduous career OF the sailor.
After . year OF so, he entered d. militarS
school IN London. From thence he came
90 the United States, aud settled At West
MlddietoWni Washington county, Pa. At
tue beginning of the present struggle, he
was among the first to volunteer for the
defence of the flag of his adopted cOun-
try, aud served with fidelity and credit
throughout the three months service. On
our company again starting, he declared
himself ready q second time TO take up
his mnsket. and has been with MS ever
since.
Bloomberg was remarkable for the sim
plictty, integrity and energy of his char
acter, while the amiability of his temper
and kind heart had won him friends in all,
There was none OF that hardness and yul-
gdrtty so often the result of such a career
epu associations. On tue contrary, he was
marked by the parity of his speech and his
consistent Christian department. On guard
and At leisure, hours, he was constantly
with his books. An Algebra or Geometry
were his iuseParable companions amid ali
the hustle and confusion of a soldiers life.
Such man must have been useful and
some day prominent member of society.
God, in tuserutable wisdom, has seen fit 10
remove him. No more can be said in his
favor, than that he was gentleman, u SOL
der, and a Christian. he ives buried yes

IT is not often that a college address is
Of sufficient general interest to require the
publication of successive editions to meet
the popular demand, yet this is the case
with regard to that Of John S. Hart before
The graduating class of Pennsylvania coll
lege, on the '.Nistakes of Educated Men. .
Mr.. Hart has been for many years The prin-
ciPa: of the PhiIadelphia High School, and
this is against him as writer. Its not
eften that a man fills for long time DO
sition as an educator, without getting into
professional rut. a f11ed orbit around
which he rightly revolves. This peril Mr..
Hart hns escaped by his breadth of phil.
osOphy and wide range of culture. Its in
deed one of the mistakes against which
he cautions the students he addresses. He
reminds them that when men Of. the same
age and class herd together exclusively,
they always Degenerate danger insep-
cradle from the life of the student, and
which as be enters upon active duties he
should atEenuOualy avoid. Mr.. Hart as
sures them that ''nIl truih is affiliated. II

must kaoW partially many other e6fngs.-
Whatever can make you more accomplish
ed and complete in yourself as man, il
worthy Of your attention, aud will in The
end make you more proficient in your
particular calling" BE does not pretend
to touch upon all the mistakes to which
educated men are liable, nor even ali Of
ths most important among them; many of
these have been sufHeiently exposed by
Othess. Bat he rather aims to treat Of
those rniltakos which, being regarded as
ct secondary importance, are. apt to be ig-
nOred altogether. His lecture is full Of
sound and feasible advice, ia a condeus-
ed, but lucid and agreeable style, aud
though fAr from exhaustive, is 4 timely and
valuable production.
