Glen Oak Orphans Home.

The following brief statement Of what
has been done and what is proposed to be
done in the future by the '.Children's
Aid Society," for the benefit of Glen
Oak Orphans Home, we transfer to our
columns from the Salem Jatoaist:
The fact of the noble donation, by Mrs.
J. L. Parrish, of ten acres of land as
site upon which to erect home for the
homeless, is already known. This be-
peyolcnt act was the inception of the en-
terprise. Tie society was organized, and
has endeavored faithfully, thus far, to
carry out the wise and benefcent design
at first contemplated.
Through the united efforts of the
! Society, and generous sympathy of its
friends, comfortable and commodious
building has been erected amid the oaks
upon the beautiful grounds, aud the
whole surrounded by rlain, substantial
ience-ail Of which, By cautious and
economical management, is thus far un-
encountered by debt.
Yet the Society iud that the work has
but a beginning. The house is to be
furnished; the grounds put in proper
order for cuitiya.ing and beautifying; .
Matron to be employed and paid child
ren to be supported, &c. Several appli-
cations have already been made for home
less ones, aud one las been received, not
withstanding the low state Of funds.
1t is to be hoped, however, by redoub.ed
exertions, that all difficulties will be
overcome, and that the Society will, very
soon, be able to meet every worthy de-
mand.
To further these plans it is, therefore,
thought advisable to make special effort
during the coming State Fair, when
there will be brought together from every
quarter of our State, those whom, we
trust, will be ready and willing to lend i
helping hand sto cause in which al
should feel deeply interested.
| The Society, therefore, proposes t.
erect suitable building upon the Stat
Fair grounds Immediately, and prerar'
themselves to open tirst-class sRestau
rant" by which, together with the sale
of useful and fancy articles, they hope II
raise fund that will do much towards
carrying forwards this good work. Anc
they would respectfully and earnestly
solicit every one to join them in III
needful enterprise. Both young and old
farmers, merchants and citizens generally,
in all portions of the State, can render
great assistance by each bringing with
them and contributing but small portion
of produce from their, wares from stores
or shops, and handywork of others. al
viii be most acceptable, and thankfully
received while the givers will, at the
same time, be blessed with the sweet as
suranee "That it is more blessed to give
than to receive"
We trust that these plans may meet
the full approval of all, and that all pa
pcrs throughout the State will have The
kindness to copy the above, and receive
the special thanks Of the

MARX TwAIN's EyrERTENCE.-Mark
Twain has been to Niagara, and his impress
sions of that summer resort are given i'll
recent letter to the Buffalo Express. His
first funny remarks arc directed to the hack
fares, which are represented rs being " so
much higher than the Falls that the Falls
appear insignificant" Further on he COM
plains in this wise:
drank up most of the American Fall be-
fore learned that the waters were not con-
sidcrcd medicinal. Why arc people left in
ignorance in that way? 7 might have gone
on and ruined fine property merely for
the want of q little triiiing information.
And vet the sources Of information at Nj
AGRA Falls are not mcagrc.
This last remark refers to the number o.
signs about the hotels and grounds, hut they
prove very unsatisfactory. For instance,
one o; the "rules" posted in his chamber
read to this effect " II you place your
boots outside the door they will be blackcd,
bu. the house will not be responsible for
their return -; whcrcupon the humorist

Before leaving Niagara, Mark Twain Of
course visited Canada. At one Of the hC-
tells on that side he met Il party OF English
officers. whom he Joined in celebrating Tic
birthdays OF the royal family. Owing to
conscientious scruplcs about the use Of in
toxicating liquors, he confined his liquid
comforts'' to saltwater. The result Is
thus described:

Mr.. Harrison Ainsworth, the novelist,
founded one of his stories on a curious old
custom, which has recently been revived in
Dunmoor, little town in Essex, England.
1t vas once the practice in that village to
present fitch Of bacon to any married
couple who could prove that not single
cross word had passed between them for q
twelvemoath and !. day, but of late years
the ancient ceremonial has been neglected
Last month one Of the former managers Of
Drury Lane Theatre revived the custom, and
awarded two bitches, the presentation being
accompanied bya .ftte-cham.pttre, clowns
tournament, q Punch and Judy show, a
May-pole dance, and procession through
the town. The PQ!t-MQll Gazette briefly
noticed the occurrence, but deprecated the
revival of the practice, deeming its accom-
paniments anything but respectable, and
renarking that many Of the questions put
to the claimants OF tie fitch were beyond
even the bounds Of indclicaoy.
