vateer was simply new pilot boat which went on
a triattrip. The crew being composed of Irish,
they hoisted the Irish flag. The vessel returned

Fenianism.

Both the D Mahony and Sweeney
wings of the Brotherhood have been
thrown into great ferment by the news
OF the suspension of the writ of habeas cor
pus in- ireland. They have never col
lected money so rapidly, nor held so large
aud enthusiastic meetings, as since the
arrival of this news. They have sue
ceeded IN throwing Canada in spasms
of apprehension. The Governor General
has called for volunteers, who have turn
ed cut IN great numbers, and are being
rapidly armed and sent to the frontier
DIX companies are already stationed at
windsor, opposite Detroit, three at Sar-
Ma, &c The Canadian newspapers have
rumors. Now ten thousand'jI tncE-nin-.
seized Navy Island, then two columns
have crossed the Laine frontier and are
marching on st Johns, &c. They expect
an invasion, certain, on St. Patrick's Day
U 1lahony intends to invade Ireland,
while Sweeney is bound for Canada
The two appears to be working harmon
lously, and it is limited that their quarrel
was ruse, intended to stimulate the
Fenian feeling. The New York head
quarters of both factions are fairly be-
sleged by laborers and servant girls, eager
to pay their hard-earned money for Fen
ian bonds, which are said to be already
extensively counterfeited. If there was
any chance for the success of the move
ment, few Americans but would wish it
God speed, but as it is, we should much
rather see these working people put their
money in the savings bank. 1t is belived
that Sir Frederick Bruce, the English
minister, will soon ask our Government
to interfere against the Fenians.

Have We the Cattle Plague.

The Bucks County Intelligncer thus
explains the report that the cattle disease
had reached Montgomery county:
The report last week that the dreaded
cattle disease which is now so destructive
in England had made its appearance in
Montgomery county has caused consider
able alarm among the owners of live
stock. DR.. Hiram Corson, Of Conshoboc-
ken, in order to obtain information to be
laid before the legislative committee re-
Gently appointed, has issued series Of
questions upon the subject addressed to
those who may have personal knowledge
Of the prevalence Of the disease. We
have rot as yet heard Of any eases in
which the disease has appeared in an
unmistakable form, although many re-
ports are afoat as to its prevalence in
various parts Of Montgomery, Chester,
and Delaware counties. We are well
satisfied that these reports are not found
ed upon actual fact, and that no well-at-
tested instance Of the rinderpest has as
yet appeared in this country. There
have been cases in which farmers have
lost a number Of their COWS, but there is
no proof that they were the victims Of
the fatal seattle plague" Of Europe
John B. Balderstou, of Falls township,
recently lost four of his cows by disease.
These cows, it was reported, had been
brought from Montgomery county, where
they had become infected by the cattle
plague, Of which they subsequently died
The facts of the case, however, are en-
tirely different. The COWS were all rear
ed by Mr. Balderston upon his own place,
and the disease of which they died, ac-
cordingly to Doctor Minister, of Attic
borough, an intelligent veterinary sur
geon was pleuropneumonia very diff
ferent malady from the rinderpest, which
is of the nature of smallpox This, We
also understand, is the opinion Of Doc
tor Michener, of Buckingham, concern
ing, the disesae that is now prevalent III
eastern Pennsylvania. If the prohbi
tory law adopted by the government is
strictly enforced, we hope this country
may be spared the ravages of the rinder
pest.

The Rockingham (Va.) Register tells
of Methodist clergyman in that section
who received, all told, in currency and
produce, twenty-one dollars for his last
years labor. Towards the close of the
year he was so unfortunate as to have
sickness in his family, and he employed
a brother preacher, who was also physi-
elan, who charged him fifteen dollars for
his services. The itinerant was unable
to pay, when the reverend doctor took
the only bedstead he had in the house as
an Offset to the debt. That man will 90

Changes IN the School Law.

y supplement to the school law has
been introduced in the State Legislature.
which proposes some changes in the school
law Of the State. Instead of six, hereaf-
ter only three Directors are to be elected
in each district. The account of the
School Board are to be submitted annu-
ally to the Auditor for settlement. They
are to elect district treasurer, who is to
give notice as soon as the duplicate is
placed in his hands that he will receive
the taxes, on which an abatement will be-
made for the speedy payment thereof
The Office of Secretary Of the Board is a.
bolished, and the duties thereof are to be
performed by the Town Clerk of each dis
trict, and he is to receive the same COM
pensation therefore as he now receives
for other services Should this bill be-
come law, it will be observed that the
office Of "Town Clerk" will become a
much more important one than it has
been heretofore considered to be. He is
to sign all papers emanating from the
School Board. The School Directors are
to be sworn.

family where you call it home. Don
you feel guilty? Why did Mt you builc
your house back from that ugly road
fence it in nicely, set out trees and try t,
make your home tasteful and enjoyable
1t you undertook to do this why did n
you keep at it and keep things in order
Where do you expect to find happiness il
not by your own freside, and how can you
expect to find it there if you do not try
all iu your power to make your home a
charming spot, an attractive centre ? If
you take proper care Of the beautiful the
useful will take care of itself.
"a thing of beauty is iov forever
And where ought we to expect that
beauty and that joy if not in and around
our homes Your house may be plain,
very plain and small, but you can make
it tasty, pleasant and even beautiful by
its surroundings. All the cost there is
in the adornment Of flowers, shrubbery
and trees is in the labor to plant them,
and fencing, painting, and the like i'm
provements, will add to the value Of your
property, as we'll as to its beauty and your
comfort Strangers, of Intelligence, al
ways judge by the outside adornment the
hight of civilization and happiness with
in. Each home We pass, by the wayside,
is an index Of the character of the man
and the wife who there live to beautify
and enjoy or neglect and destroy.
In conclusion I will give you little
song which 1 hope will be sung again
and again in every household where my
Lectures visit. May it be sung until the
sentiment it teaches is adopted and prac-
ticed by every member Of those homes.
MAKE your homes both neat and tasteful,
Bright and pleasant, always fair,
Where each heart shall rest contented,
Grateful for each beauty there.
See that home is made attractive,
By surroundings pure and bright,
Trees, arranged with taste and order,
Flowers, wi tn all their sweet delight
Seek to make your home more lovely,
Let it be a smiling spot,
Where in sweet contentment resting
Care and sorrow are forgot
Where the flowers and trees are waving,
Birds will sing their sweetest song,
Where the purest thoughts Will linger,
Confidence and love be strong.
There each heart viii rest contented,
Seldom wishing far TO roam,
Or, if roaming still will cherish
Memories of that pleasant home.
Such a home makes man the better;
Pure and lasting its control;
Home with pure and bright surroundings,
Leaves its impress on the SOUL

Half q Million Lost

The citizens of Easton lost over FIVE
hundred thousand dollars in oil stock
Quite a nice pile of money 1t would
have been better for the town, better for
the laboring classes, and better for all
hands, if that amount had been invested
in manufactures. The worst Of it is, that
50 many poor men put into the worth
less stock the little piles they had accum-
hted by being careful! and economical.-
Oil stock does not sell very readily in
Easton tpresent. What amount has been
lost by our citizensis not known, but the a
mount is quite large, as quite number
