I.ieense and Entertninment.

On Monday morning the citizens of
the Borough were somewhat SURPRISED to
find that four of the hotel.keepers had,
by preconcerted arrangement, closed their
houses against the public; aud when the
Jurors, Constables and citizens of the
county, whose duty and business called
them to our town to attend Court, aud
they repaired to the different plaees of
their choice, they were not very politely
informed that they could not be entertain
ed, and that they had better go to the Court
House, as the machine was being run by
those who occupied positions, and others
therein employed. The citizens of the bor-
ough and vicinity we're soon Informed of
this ungentlcmanly conduct toward their
fellow citizens from the different parts of
the county, and arrangements we're soon
made BY which, SC far as we are at pres.
ent informed, all were accommodated,
without any thanks to the owners and
keerers of the closed houses. To say the
least of it, these men have shown to the
citizens whom they have driven from
their doors, that tie cause which led
them to close their houses,i a weak one,
when it leads its advocates to smcR acts
as they have performed this week.

The other four are taught by young
men, who have not formed their character
in dram shops, nor with the roughs of the
world, they are worthy to receive
the right hand of FELLOWSHIP, of
those mentioned above. The manner in
which they are all displaying their bill.
ties as teachers, is praiseworthy and can.
not be over estimated. The mighty dol.
Tar is not all that they labor for. They
have the confidence ss we'll as the coop.
GRAFTON of the parents, scholars and
Direesorsi and thus, everything is NOV
ing along harmoniously. The pupils
appear t o take the greatcst delight in re-
ceiying instrucfioa from their teachers.
The Directors have visited all the
schools, and speRt half day in each one,
and have just ended their yisitations,
and they can safely say, the time was
we'll and pleasantly spent, They return
their sincere thanks to the teachers and
scholars for the kind reception they re,
ceived at each and all of the schools

Political Hypocrisy.

All tenderness and concern for the
Constitution Of the United States would
seem to he confined to the late rebels and
that portion of the Democrats which sym>
pathized with them in the rebellion
So, at least. one would be led to think
who should read their journals With any
degree of respect or confidence. Those
who wake the loudeSt protestations of
profound generation for that glorious ins
strument, are the persons who have with
in the past six years gone through all the
phases. of formally disoBning it, of de-
iihcrately swearing to support rival con.
stitution and hostile government, and of
carrying on bloody war Of four years
continuance for the overthrow of the
Constitution which they now 60 highly
praise And lest this hypocrisy should
not 90 beyond all other hypocrisy that
the world has ever seen, they set up as
champions of the Constitution and its de-
Tenders, against those who have always
honored aud obeyed it. and have, in this
four yea.si rebellion, made the most cost
ly sacrifices and efforts in its defense
1t is striking case Of the thief raising
the cry of "stop thief" and seeking to
escape by turning TIE cry of pursuit
against some inuoeent passer By. They
eulogize the Constitution which they did
their utmost to destroy, and only rest
themselves from their cry and clamor, to
vilify as violators of the Constitution
those who maintained It at the peril of
life and limb against their malignant re-
bellion. That so bold and impudent a
deception should be attempted, is suin-
ciently astonishing. 1t is still more so
that any body should be captured by so
bareiaced trick In fact, we know of
nobody who Is deceived by their ridicu-
lous zeal for the Constitution. Those
who join in the clamor with them, have
been with them in senti ment all the time,
as far as circumstances would permit.
Let no one be deceived. The true
friends and defenders Of the Constitution
Of the United States must be looked for
elsewhere than in the ranks Of rebel lead,
ers They are to be found standing now
where they rallied in the hour of danger,
under the flag in defense of the Constitu.
tion and Government. There is not
true Repnblieaa who is not of the nun

Pass age of the Reconstruction

over the VetOcs of the Presi-

The vetoes of tho Reconstruction Bill
and the Tenure of Office Bill by the

to fllibuster, but notwithstan ding their

veto by vote of 1875 to Al 1t was then
sent to the Senate, where the Democrats
fillibustered and used every effort IN their
power to delay action. HeYerdy John,
son, of Maryland, made a speech in
opposition to the veto, and Mcssrs. Buck
alew, Dixon and Hendricks in support
of it. The bill was passed hy vote of
3S to 10; thus becoming a laF of the
land, and teaching Rebels sad their SYM

country, through their loyal representa-
tives are determined that Traitors mnst
atone 10 the onepded law, and obey an

Th, tenure of Office bill was passed
without debate by tho following vote =

For the CITIZEN
MR. EDITOR Seeing in the columns
of your paper number Of communica,
tions from different townships, | take the
liberty of sending you few lines from
Adams, hoping it may not be amiss.-
Though we of Adams, cannot boast over
mankind in general, or our neighboring
tps., particularly, we always endeavor
to make the best of what we do possess
here, in excelling others, who, having
greater advantages do not profit by them.
We have no rivers, or towns, nor can we
even boast village 10 our midst, with its
necessary accompaniments of stores, tav-
erns and blacksmith shops nor can we
boast an Academy, though we have six
olerable good schools. We have, also,
three churches United Presbyterian,
Cid Side Covenanter, and German Meth.
odist. We have but one store, and it
only does one-horse business. The in.
of other townships are not to
infer, however, that We subsist on home
productions, as We are very we'll supplied
10 that line in the adjoining townships.
We have several small creeks in our
township. the principal of which is Break.

some unlucky mortal being precipitated
over its bank and breaking his. neck

Business Colleges.
The past few years have wrought won.
derful changes in the system of popular
education. Business Colleges have be-
come a necessity, and there is no young
man in the country who considers bis ed
ucation complete, or thinks of engaging
in business, without first graduating at
one of these institutions. Every large
city now has its Business College but
the most important as well as the most
successful, thorough and practical of all,
il the Iron City College uf Pittsburgh,
Pa, which has graduated upwards of
Fifteen Thousand students in the past ten
years. This is the acknowledge head Of
all Business Colleges in America.

beg leave to say to the public, and all de-
sirous of obtaining ohoi2e fruit trees ond
shrubbery, that they have great variety
and splendid assortment of Apple, Peach
Pear, Plum, and Cherry trees of large
growth, and with proper planting and
care, are warranted to grow, and produce
in less time than any imported from
abroad. Our trees are acclimated, aud
the lifting and replanting can be dene in
so short time, that the roots are not long
exposed, and the trees are more likely to
grow. Many reasons might be given in
favor of our home nurseries. The fruit
is equal TO any imported. The trees are
of decent growth, and whom replanted,
grow faster and produce from one to two
years sooner than those imported We
have Shade Trees, Shrubbery and Ever
greens of almost every variety. We will
sell on reasonable terms. All who de.
sire to give us trial can do so by giving
US caii at our Nursery, 2. miles West
of Butler, or BY giving their orders to
our Agents.
