sabbath school Convention

In response to an invitation extend ed
by committee, representing the U. P.
s. s. Of Varnum, and the Lutheran
s. S. of North Washington. The Morn.
ing of the 10th, saw the usually quiet
village of North Washington overiiowing
with people, of all ages, and both sexes
enroute to the appointed place Of meeting
in Mifflin's Grove, where preparations had
been made for their reception. On as
sembling in the grove, the convention
was organized by calling j. W. Christy
Esq. of the West Sunbury U. p, s. s.
to the chair, supported by Vice Presi-
dent, form each of the other schools rep
resented, and appointing Chambers Scott
and Samuel Glenn, Sec'ys.
The meeting was opened with prayer
by the Rev. j.. III. Stevenson, returned
Missionary from India. The convention
was addressed by the Revs. Messrs.
Coulter, Bredin, Shade, Marshall, Ste
venson and Jamison. Each school en-
tered the grove, led by persons bearing
beautiful banners, accompanied by bands
discoursing delightful music. The mot
toes of some of the banners were SO ap-
propriate to the occasion, that we cannot
forbear mentioning them. The German
Reformed banner of Fairview was rem.
dered noticeable, by its contrast with
the Others the ground of the banner
being dark, lighted up with the short
sentence in bright letters "God is love-
The banner of the u. z. s. S. of Sun.
bury was very beautiful, having various
appropriate inscriptions, among which
were "Sutfer little children to come unto
me &c." and "Lo children are Gods
heritage" The Annisville q. 8. P. s.
s. had tasty banner with this motto /;
"They that seek me early shall find me. "
The Concord o. S p. S. s., and the
North Washington Lutheran S. s. each
had a very neat banner with the motto;
ave are the hope of the church."
There was very pretty banner borne by
the Mount Varnum s. S. with this mot.
to, ain the name of our God, we will sci
up our banner" With regard to the
Fairview U. 2. Banner, we can say moth.
ing as we have lost our notes.
The convention passed off pleasantly
this vast concourse of people, numbering
from $500 to 5000, were sumptuously
feasted by the ladies connected with the
different schools. The interest, mani.
tested by such conventions az this, is an
evidence of the waking up of the people
to the importance of the Sabbath School
cause. When we see people leaving
their daily avocation and focking by
the thousand, to the place of meeting
and spending time, and money, in bring
ing thither and entertaining, Sabbath
School children, we may cherish bright
hopes for the future.

The New York Times says, in regard to
the Amnesty Proclamation, that "the as
sertion by the President ofhis right to issue
such proclamation at all is the point which
most concerns the country We suspect
the Times has hit the vital point and opened
up the question most threatening to the ma
ton. OF course, the motive enters into the
discussion. No one can question what that
is--the vitalization, SO far as it can be done,
of the "dead cause" The spirit at the bot
tom of the proceedings is the same as that
which animated johnson in reinforcing
Beauregard at Bull Run. And it is thus
hat the President is to be Judged.

SHAME.-We had thought that our
neighbor of the "Herald'' had more re-
spect for truth and character than to
give utterance to language like the fol-
lowing.
The Governor Of this State, John ".
Geary, has been over at Washington
City to see Grant about disloyal Mary
land. He had better stay at home and
save what little reputation is left to him.
He never held a situation in his life
that he did not prove failure.
A man who did his du ty so well and
faithfully as Gen. John w. Geary, du>
ring the severe ordeal through which our
Country passed in the late struggle,
which was brought about by. Democratic
rnisrule and intrigue, to be stigmatized
as failure" and of "little reputation"
is STOPPING very low. Ifhe had remain
ed in the ranks Of the Democratic
party, and subscribed to the bogus Dem
ocratic principles, and consented to have
been their candidate, he would have
been all right, but because he fought
against Rebels and their sympathlzers,
am was elected Governor by the loyal
voters Of Pennsylvania, and is honest in
the execution of the laws and uses his
influence fol, the good of our whole
Country. he is called a "failure" and of
slittle reputation. o, shame, where is

HOnors to Gen. SickIes.

The Union Central Committee in New
York are making arrangements to givo
Gen. Sickles fitting RECEIPT tion at Cooper
Institute. This is right. The General
has done his duty well, and is victim
whom even General Grant could not save
to the desperation of Andrew John,
son. AT a meeting of the Committee
Monday evening, large committee was
appointed to execute this purpose, with
Charles S. Spencer at the head. Hav-
ing done this the Committee waited on
General Sickles at the Brevoort House,
and were introduced, thereupon Mr.. Spen.
Ger stated the object of the visit. He
concluded his brief speech as follows:
We ask you to address .he people at
the Cooper Institute at such time as you
shall select As friends of yours. we do
not expect, and shall not ask you to speak
as an exponent of our peculiar political
views; but merely in vindication of your
administration and policy as the Conn
mander of the Second Military District
of the South.
Gen sickles replied

into consideration the polite offer you

it will be in my power to name time
when l can meet my fellow. citizens to
discuss before them questions that most
interest the country at this time. AS
soon as it is in my power to do so I will
communicate with you further.
The officers and soldiers of the Excel
sior Brigade are also making arrange
ments to give their old commander ft>

sires to avoid all public display at pres
ont. His rank in the regular army is
that of Colonel in the Forty-Socond

A writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer
furnishes the following valuable hints
We have known some farmers make it a
regular practice for a succession of years
10 throw caustic lime around their apple
trees in the spring and summer. Weonoe
noticed that tree standing in the imme-
diate vicinity Of our dwelling had all al
once put forth with renewed energy, and
we were at a loss fer some time to define
the cause. On examination, we found that
a quantity of lime, which had accidentally
been spilled, and rendered worthless by be
coming mixed with the refuse on the stable
floor, had been thrown at the foot and
around the tree, and to this, as the princi-
pal cause we Immediately accredited the
reviviscence and renewed modification OF
the tree.
Taking the hint from the accident, we
purchased twelve casks of lime, and APP
piled half 4 bushel 10 each of the trees in
our orchard, and found that it produced
immediate beneficial effects. Not the
health Of the trees only, but the quality
Of the fruit also was greatly improved. This
application will be especially beneficial in
soils where there is a redundancy of vege-
table matter. We would advise our farmers
in some places, especially IN new forest
lands recently cleared, and on low lands, to
make trial Of this experiment and see
whether il is not deserving Of the high re-
commendation Il secures.

The Sfrined bug.

The Germantown Telegraph says: Eve
ry gardener knows that this is most de
structive insect among melon, cucumber
and other young vines, sometimes dam
aging the crop seriously. Many RENE
dies have been suggested, SEINE of them
no doubt, good in their way, but trouble
some. Now we have tried for several
years another, which has proved with us
a complete success Instead of aiming
to drive away the insect by SCOT, ashes,
etc, we pet it, or rather furnish it with
food better than the young melon and
cucumber plant We SOW around each
hill at the time of each planting few
radish seed, and coming up about the
same time, the tops supply pasture for the
bug which it much prefers to the vines.
Lettuce will also answer, but the reddish
is rather liked the best While our vines
are untouched by making this little pro-
vision for it, the young reddish tops are
completely perforated. We can recom~
mend the remedy with confidence.
