INSTRUCTION IN FRENcH.-Our young
people who desire to acquire an acquaintance
with the F:gReh language, will soon have
most favorable opportunity presented them.
DR.. LAJO1E, a native of France, and
thorough scholar in its language, proposes
the formation of CLASS Of such as have not
the advantage of the regular schools-the
lessons to be given at such hours of the day
or evening as will suit the convenience Of the
scholars, either at their own homes, or some
suitable room after the formation of the class
is accomplished. In addition to his qualiica-
t;ons as teacher, the DIR. possesses the merit
OF being modest aad unassuming geutle>
men, who will not presume upon any hospi-
tality that may be extended him by our citi-
zens. Parties who wish to unite in constitu-
ting class, can leave their names with Mr..
Ed. Williams, teacher of the District school,
or at this Office.

ABLE PHEACuING.-On Sunday last,
morning and evening, the pulpit of the Meth
odist Church in this town was occupied by
Rev. JOHN p HYDE, of the Baltimore Con-
ference. The dscourscs delivered by that
gentleman were listened to by most attentive
congregations, and c!i2ited the decided APP
prevail and commentator of large majority
of those whe heard them. His morning dis
course was from the test, "Jesus saw Nathan
icl coming to him, aud saith of him, Behold
an Isracitc indeed, in whom is no guile ~
In the evening he preached from the text,
Tho namc of the Lord is a strong tower; the
righteous runneth Into it, and is safe" Both
of these sermons, in their delivery and appii-
cation, were marked by force and ability, and
the impressive manocr of the Reverend speak
err, told with effect upon his anxious listeners.

to notice every new improvement that is
brought forward for public favor and epcour-
agemcnt; and particularly so, when our own

the Patent Office, for the week ending Feb
ruary ID, 1869, state that patent has been
granted, Messrs. w. f. Weirrick, John G.
Weller and David Z. Rohr, for Improvement
in machine for distributing fertilizers. We
have no knowledge of the character of this

known practical talent of the inventors, aud
their deserved standing US mechanics, is guar
antee sufficient that their new invention pos
sesses merits that will be recognized by our
farmers We wish the patentees that sue
cess, of which we feel confident they are

Has Anybody Saw the Comet.

Some of our exchanges say that the so
long predicted comet has arrived on time,
and may be seen by the '.naked eye on
any clear night, by 'sfinging a gaze"
toward the northern portion of the heav-
ems, at any time between midnight and
the rising of the morning star. We are
compelled to acknowledge the solemn
fact that up TO this time we have been
unable to ''disrobe" our visual organs
onto the ''fery tailed" monster-in other
words, VIC have failed to 'ssee' it. This
tremendous "etherial messenger" that is
now perambulating through space without
let or hindrance, is indeed a ''stunner,"
if we may be permitted to believe the
many fearful assertions made with regard
to it by some of our learned men For
instance, they assure US that it will ap
proach nearer this sphere of ours than
any comet ever did before, and that one
or the other will be necessarily compelled
to change its course, or a collision will
be inevitable. As this comet is asserted
to be solid mass of fire, and many
thousand times larger than the earth,
with a caudal appendage more than two
million FIVE hundred thousand miles in
length, it is altogether possible that
collision with it would result as disas-
trously to the earth as did the upsetting
of one of Ans. Marshalls hacks, few
weeks since, to one or two of the more
unfortunate occupants of the vehicle-it
might put head on it. Then this
comit has history-it's an cold 'un"
1t is said to have been on exhibition to
the terrified ancients-free of charge,
children half price-immediately preced-
ing the terrible civil wars in Greece. In
Persia, and throughout the countries Of
the East, its appearance was Immediately
followed by most dreadful plague that,
in few weeks, swept from the face of
the earth more than one half the people
of the countries visited by it-plague on
it Some years subsequently, this COM
ct put in an appearance again, preceded
by most terrific civil war in Rome, and
followed by a plague, or scourge, that
piled the dead up in heaps in the streets
of that proud but corrupt city, until, in
the language of the chronicler of those
times, there were scarcely enough per-
sons left alive to bury the dead. If this
long tailed, mass of fire don't strike Web
foot before the settins-in of the regular
''mist, we predict it'll have to ''take
WATER" back out and ''plague' some
other quarter less fortunate in the supply
of chuck-another inducement to immi-
CRATE to Oregon, i. e. her immense (six
months) "water-privilege' for squelching
plaguey long tailed fiery monsters of the
ssupper deep"
