SUMMARY,

BorNrY ACT.-From the official copy
1t the Bounty Bill, sent ont by the State
Department, it appears that the first
section of the act provides that one hun
dfrd dollars additional bounty shall be
paid tn those volunteers who have en-
isred since April 18th, 1861, have served
fall three years, and have already been
paid Qua hundred dollars bounty, and to
those of the above class who have been
hoGorabIy discharged for wounds, and to
the heirs of those who died in the ser
wee of wounds, or disease contracted in
ia. service. The second section is total
"a imperative, rs it applies to not single
soldier who has served in tho army.
TA,re was bounty of fifty dollars au-
rhorizrd by the act of March Sd, 1868, to
uc pail to such of the volunteers who
had served nine months or less, provided
they rr enlisted for one year i'll regl
ment itom the same Stare upon any
future requisition of the President for
militia. but the section does not apply to
-hrs class, because the service is less than
iNn Years No other class of volunteers
,r mIlitia was ever entitled to or ever
paid bounty of fifty dollars, and con.
seuuently not one cent can be expended
under the second section of the act

WASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON COL
LEGE.-The Commencement Exercises OF
this institution took place yesterday, at
Canonsbnrg, Pa There were fifteen
gentlemen designated to take part in the
exercises, but only about dozen per
formed The speeches were of the first
class order for such occasions, with less
of the sophomore than usual. The day
is gone by when young men can stun the
masses with empty sounds and unmean-
i.g pIatitudes. The valedictory grafton
was pronounced by Mr.. John d. Shafer,
Of Bakerstown, Pa. The degree OF Bach
elor of Arts was then conferred on some
forty graduates. The Washington
county Brass Band discoursed fine mu-
sic at intervals; the order was better
than usual on such occasions, and every
thing passed off in the best style.
This institution, as our readers are
most of them aware, has lately been
formed by union of Washington and
Jefferson Colleges. Dr. Edwards is Pres.
dent, and DIR. James Black Vice Presi.
dent, both of whom are scholars of
marked ability. The Primary Depart
meut, in connection with the Freshman
Glass and Il Scientific Department Is at
Washington, and the College Proper mt
Canonsburg, Pa The Commandments
will be held at Washington and Canons,
burg, alternately. During the year just
closed there were about three hundred
students in attendance, and we can con-
graduate the people of this part OF the
country on the fact that there is no
necessity for sending their sons East to
secure the advantages OF first class

right at home, in Washington and Jeffer

a Paper Eater.

A young lady of this city while at
school contracted habit, which she
now fluids it impossible to break of, that
of chewing paper Her parents buy it
for her by the ream, aud she consumes on
an a7eCage, a quire per week, rolling her
paper ball under her tongue as q sweet
morsel, and squirting the saliva about
like an old salt. She is quite connois-
seur in the matter of paper, and evinces
a decided preference for certain pale
blue unrnled foolsCap, which smells bad
ly. Deprive her OF paper for day or
two land she becomes restless, distract
and melancholy, refuses to eat or be com
forted and is not herself until fresh
supply is procured GLOW is Miss -"
we enquired of female friend the other
day. Not Well" was the reply, cher pa
per doesn't agree with her"
We have heard of opium eating, snuff
eating, arsenic eating, and pencil eating
among the female fraternity, but we be-
lieve this is the first instance of paper
eating which has come under our knowl-
edge. If the young lady knew how pa,
per is made, we think she would make an
extraordinary effort to break off the per-
nicious habit In the hope that this ar
ticle may pass beneath her eye, We sug-
gest some of the material which in course
of month of paper eating are reduced
to pulp between her pretty teeth: Ban.
dages from sore legs, rags from CUTTERS
cotton diapers. shirt tails and all sorts of
miscellaneous ODDS and ends, Bah If
that does not effect reformation she is
