SaAp PRAcTIcE-A rural lawyer, whom
We will designate as Squire Joyial, once
bad an important case in a country
court, aud the desicion depended on
the way the jury would regard the tes-
timony Of one lady. He lost tho case
because the fair witness sw0re positive
~ TO an occurrence which she witness
ed at a distance Of several rods, altho'
there were several persons who stood
much nearer than she that saw nothing
whatever Of it. The squire looked
rather blue when the jury drought in
their verdict, but revenged himself by
rising and telling the court story oi

Everything is loit to their honor; and
tho matron says that SO far not cents
worth Of anything has ever been stolen,
although every girl is 4 thief when she
comes there, Tho trust reposed in
them astonishes them, al FIRST, beyond
measure. They can hardly believe that
anybody would or could trust them. -
Tie fact has to grow upon them by de
grees. And every one distrusts all her
4
fellows and warns the matron against
them.
Mrs Smith, the informer viii say,
"you must not let those girls have a
chance to steal anything; for II you do
they'll take II. They're oil thieves. -
You don't kno,o them as loeA as / DO"
And so every one in turn whispers
her warning in the matron's private
ear; and every one in turn is filed with
astonishment that none OF her compan-
ious seems inclined to steal after enter
ing the Mission.
Although there is no perceptible dis
cipline in the Mission, no collisions oc.
cur among the inmates. This is anoth-
er surprising fact, for they are by no
means possessed of angelic tempers in
their anti-Mission state,
Aud right here is good place to
mention that several pet theories ON
this subject, which we have held in
common with others, have been strong
ly shaken II not overturned by the facts
developed in this Mission. II has usu-
ally been supposed that the veterans in
vice would be the most of reclamation;
and it seems impossible that it could
be otherwise. But experience, thus
far, shows that il is the oldest trans
grsssors who make the most steadfast
penitents. Some who had been lead
ing most hideous lives for eighteen
years have become thoroughly reform
cd, and have been for months earning
their living by downright, honest labor
These facts are so contrary TO ones pre-
conceived notions on this subject as to
be actually painful; and they ought to
be looked into, and analyzed, aud ac-
counted for al the earliest possible day.
These wretched creatures are kind to
one another iu the Mission, aud ready
to help nurse the sick, or perform any
friendly Office. They also take a deep
interest in the permaneney OF one an
others reformation. They also like to
have their Mission friends kept inform
ed as to their own success; and when
they begin to earn wages, thoy like to
give a portion thereof to the Mission IN
repayment oil the money expended for
them, and also TO help others who are
struggling to break loose from the
bondage Of iniquity. Packards MonA-

PERsoNAL.-We had the pleasure of a
call on Tuesday last from Mr.. VIM. IL.
Peck, ex-editor of the National Democrat.
Also, on Thursday, from Mr.. Robert
Lyman of Arena, and VIM. Robinson, ESQ.,,
of Mazo Mamie. Mr.. r. is agent for a
patent cooking-stove which is pronounced
a great Improvement on the present style.
Also, on yesterday, from Mr.. De Leo,
the celebrated traveller, whose lectures on
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings were
rare intellectual treats. We have heard
lectures by the leading men of this coun-
try, but rarely or never by any one whose
general information was more extensive
than Mr.. De Leo's. His memory is re-
markable, and his voice and delivery very
good. He spoke last evening at the

Anniversary at Albion Academy

The fifteenth anniversary exercises Of
Albion Academy were held Tuesday, July
18th, in the spacious Baptist church in
Albion. The house was crowded to its
fullest capacity by an intelligent audience,
composed of the friends aud patrons of
the institution.
Albion is favorable locality for an in
stitution of learning quiet, retired and
beautiful, rural town; surrounded by
groves, hills and prairies. Being away
from the railroad, in the midst of a moral
and intelligent community, the student
encounters none of the vices and tempta-
tons of larger commercial villages and
cities, and the young, plastic and impressi-
BILE mind will come in contact with none
but the best influences. There is neither
saloon or billiard table in the town.
The Academy during the past year has
been in prosperous conditon-about the
usual number of students OF both sexes
have availed themselves of the advantages
offered here for obtaining an education
with limited means. During the fifteen
years of the existence of this Academy
sixty-four have graduated, gentlemen re-
ceiving the degree of Bachelor of Philoso-
ply, and ladies the degree OF Laureate of
Philosophy. They are now found in the
various professions and vacations of life,
giving evidence that Prof. Cornwall, the
able Principal who has labored on, through
many discouragements, to build up this
excellent institution, which now ranks
among the best, and his efficient corps of
teachers, have not labored in vain, but
their instruction has proved lasting and of
practical value.
The closing exercises of the anniversary
were decidedly creditable to the institution
and gave the highest satisfaction to its nu-
merous friends and patrons who listened
to them. They were interspersed with
music from the Albion Band and the Qua
drille club-both furnishing excellent mu-
sic. The fine tenor and the sweet alto of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hacks, of Fit. Atkinson,
added much to the singing. The gradua-
ting class numbered six, composed of three
ladies and three gentlemen, viz: Miss M.
L. Lawton, Stoughton; Miss Elnora Coon,
Albion; Miss L. F. Burdick, Utica; Mr..
E. l.. Burdick, Topeka, Kansas, (the vala-
dictorian y Mr.. N. P. St:llman, Freedom,
Mimi; Mr.. b. y. Coon, Ed9erton.
The annual sermon was delivered SUM-
day evening, preceding, by Rev. D. E.
Maxson, of Milton, upon the Power of
Character" The annual address by Hon.
Anthony VanWyck, of Kenosha, upon
=" Advantages of Historical Studies y
was treated in scholarly manner.
He indicated the course of study the stu
dent should pursue after graduation.
The fourteen orations and essays by the
laGies and gentlemen, taking part, were
very creditabe in respect to matter and
delivery. After the comforting of degrees
and delivering of diplomas, the exercises
were closed with benediction.
The next year begins Tuesday, Aug.
Slst. Send for catalogue to Rev. A. r.
Cornwall, Albion, Wisconsin.
