CITY AND STATE NEWS.

WASHINGTON (PA.) FEMALE SEMI
NARY.-The past week was most inter
esting one at the Washington feihaio
Seminary, made so in part by the exam
nation of the pupils, but principally by
the reunion of the graduates Oh
quarter of century ago. The exami.
nations were as usual of q creditable
character, both to the pupils and their
teachers, the several classes acquittng
themselves in the most satisfactory
manner. On Thursday afternoon, in
answer to an invitation to former gradu.
ates, two hundred ladies assembled in
Seminary Hall to celebrate the 26th
YEAR Of Mrs. Hanna's superintendent of
the institution. The meeting organized
by choosing as officers: President, Mrs
VIM! Ewing; Vice President, Mrs. james
Rankin; Secretaries, Mrs. John A. Willis
aud Miss Sue D. Hart
A committee was appointed who in
troduced Mrs. Hanna and DR.. Brownson,
President of the Board Of Trustees, and
some of the Trustees. Dr.. Brownson
opened the meeting with prayer, aud
then read an address of welcome to the
graduates. This was responded to on
behalf of the ladies by Miss Kate
Hopkins.
At the conclusion of the proceedings of
the reunion of the alumnae, a meeting OF
citizens and invited guests was held in
the hall After spending an hour very
pleasantly in listening to brief congrat-
ulatory addresses from number of the
gentlemen present, as well as some of
tho reports aud addresses from tie rep
resentatives of several of the graduating
classes of former years, the meeting adj
iourned.
The ceremonies of the week closed
with a grand reception given to Mrs.
Hanna on Friday evening, which was
largely attended by the people of the
town and strangers from abroad who
called to pay their respects to the hon.
ored head of the institution aud congrat-
Mate each other, before returning to
their homes, upon the rare enjoyment OF
which all had partaken during the
week.

SCARCITY OF STAMPS some time
past the Collector oflnternal Revenue at
this point has been unable to obtain
from Washington an adequate supply
of two cent stamps, and as a consequence
our merchants and business men have
been greatly disconnected in making
their usual July quarterly settlements
The Collector is making every effort to
have supply forwarded, and he hopes
in few days to be able to meet the
want of every business man in the city.

early hour Washington Hall was crowd

to hear the renowned musical prodigy
Blind Tom, but il reality to share the

the fame whereof had been heralded
forth to the public for a week
past. The vast concourse OF people
remained ia ;he Hall but short time
before they discovered that they had
been going it blind" aud had been ter
ribly duped There was not TIL least
ign of negro, musical instrument, or
managers of show, add the crowd dis

which we presume was owing to the
fact that they all did not draw prizes
Blind Tom did not appear. Cause why
he il on his way to Europe. No doubt
Tom would have been happy to have ac-
commodated the sixteen or eighteen
hundred persons who purchased tickets
with a musical treat last night, put as
he had not been informed OF the affair,
we presume he couldn't see it,"
The horse and buggy, and thousand
othar prizes were not distributed last
pight, as the managers of the show left
eaTly in the evening with the money

Nest OF THE HUMMING- BIRD.-The nest
of the bumming bird is a miracle OF perfec>
ton in domestic economy. For beauty, hts
ness and safety, the wisdom and taste dis"
played in the arrangement are irreproachable.
Bedecked in plumage of emerald, ruby aud
topaz, remarkable for the deicacy Of its form
and gra1e of its motion, unsulied BY rain
from the clouds or dust from the earth, feed
Ing upon the nectar of the flowers, its habi>
fation should be in character, and so it is
Shaped like half cup; it is delcately formed
of ichons colored like the branch on which
it is fixed. and lined with soft down of plant
blossoms, OF mullen leaves, or the young fern.
1t is delicately soft, sheltered, and undis-
tinguishable from the bark of the tree, of
which it seems most natural excrescence,
a moss grown knot. Two white eggs as large
as PEAS adorn the nest, upon which, as asser
ted by naturalistS, the cock and hen sit by
turns for ten or twelve days. The little birds,
scarcely larger than flies, enter upon their ex.
istence in chamber tapestred as with vel>
yet, and are fed with the sweets Of flowers
from the maternal tongue. The tiny house.
hold exhibits not only commendable meats
ness but exquisite taste and delicacy in all
its arrangements. Can gentle humanity de-
rive no lesson from such an example?

"IHE FISH AND THE RING"

There's an old gray hostel in Durham
Where the Tyne meets the North Seas swell,
Whose sign is a fish with a ring in his mouth !
And thus runs the legend they tell
The landlord had a fair daughter,
Aud a suitor of noble degree
Paid court to the maiden and gave he- ring,
And vowed her true lover to be.
And once, and again and again,
The day for the bridal was named,
Yet was ever put off with some plausible tale
Her false hearted lover had framed.
But once as they walked on the shore,
The maid in bitterness said
"I adjure you now by the good God above,
To promise me when You will we'd
Then drawi ug the ring from her finger,
He flung it far off in the sea-,
And said, "As God lives, will wed you the day
You restore that ring unto me-
Then home with her sorrow she wcut
And sat herself down by the door, come
And watched the long day till her father should
Iu his fishers boat unto the shore.
At length the sail CLEANED in the sunset,
And the keel grated harsh on the sand,
And her father strobe homeward blaming his
With one tiny fish in his hand luck,
But, dressing it now for their meal,
The maiden screams out in surprise,
For the ring that her lover had cast to the waves,
Lo, it flashes its light in her eyes.
Then the proud Marquis cried, Z" God wills it :,
So straiehtway the priest will lbring
And / II give to thy father the inn for his own
Let the sign be The fish and the Ring I"

SUNDAY LAWS.


Go, barricade the river up,
And paddock down the rail;
We-Ahave no train on Sunday run, =
Menl have no steamer sail.
Go tell the sailor on the sea
To make his canvass fast,
And trust the mercy of the waves
Till Sabbath shall be past.
Comnand the sun to stay his course,
Forbid the wind to blow,
And tell the flowers they shall not bloom,
The trees they.shall not grow;
The little wild-bird shall not sing,
The lambkins shall NOT play,
The cattle all shall silent be-
It is the Sabbath day.
And order yonder reprobate,
That strolls along the road,
To turn at once from sinful ways,
And seek the house Of God.
What need hath he of light or air?
Go, bid him fast and pray,
And put mournful visage on
1t is the Sabbath day.

TAILORING.-The Radical, a destructive
sheet, published in Boston, after abusing the
President in the choicest hilIingsgate, finally
grows poetical and gets off the following:
Poor Crackers breeches down in Tennessee
Might well by Andy reconstructed be
HIS patch could run against or with the grain,
BE cloth or shoddy-hod ar rip again.
No rotten bunting Freedoms flag can mend,
The piece must match, the fabric must not rend,
The stain mnst be effacrd, the colors fast,
To flap those stars again athwart the mast.
There's not ragged slave he can redress:
lie cobble Freedom Ninth Of manliness
The sceptre drop, the goose resume, and flee
Where breeches wait, but let the banner be.
