THE CHAMBERLAIN BEoUEsT-
From the Meadville Republican we
learn that the important Chamberlain
will case, pending in New York courts
for some two years has beeu decided in
favor of the appellants, by the Court
of Appeals, the court of last resort in
that State. This gives to Allegheny
College, in accordance with the will of
the late Judge Chamherlain, of Chau-
tauqua county, N. Y, about 100000
We are sure our citizens generally will
be glad to learn that justice has been
done, and the benevolent intentions of
a good man are to be carried out. There
is no appeal from this decision.

On Tuesday afternoon Chief of Po-

arrested Pat Kelley, an old offender in
this section, and two of his associates.
The two associates were subsequently
released, and yesterday Kelley was
brought before Justice Strouse on a
charge of having, on the 18th of Sep.
tember last, entered the house of Leon
Dlplanti at two o'clock in the morn
ing, aud chloroformed his wife for the
purpose of relieving her Of 5000 which
she had in her possession. Kelley is

attempted robbery had just returned
from Meadville. where he had heen
spending the summer on account OF
stripping cIothesline of very valua-
bic linen. A few days after he made
this bold attempt he fed the country,
and had only returned on Tuesday,
and was "gobbled" on sight. After Il
short examination he was remanded to

1t is customary for all business
men, to reader statement to custom
ers yearly, requesting settlement of
account. This is So common that we
thought all understood it. But occa-
sionly we find man who considers il an
offence or insult to have bill sent To
him. No reasonable man has any cause
for resentment in such case, but on
the other hand should consider it an
accommodation to be furnished with a
statement Of bis account. Merchants
and most business men send bills the
first of evey month and require pay.
ment Immediately or at least in thirty
days If not paid, interest is charged.
and the account sent for collection.
We see no reason why one should be
offended because printer sends bills
to oH his subscribers who are in arrears.
Why should editors allow thousands of
dollars TO accumulate on their books
without sending bills and making an
effort to collect it? And why should
any one expect his particular name to
be excepted when billsare being sent

a horse from his father, for which act
u warrant was issued aud placed in the
hands Of Constable Foster, of Clinton

whereabouts of Henderson and went
to arrest him, but Henderson offered
violent resistance, aud after fight
succeeded in escaping. Foster then
had another warrant issed for Hender-

Constable Sutton of SanAycreek, aud

PRACTICAL IDEAs.-To be good house
keeper requires education and practice but II
woman's heart is in the work she will soon
learn, if necessity places the duty before her:
When the comfort and prosperity of loved
husband renders it necessary to economic and
live to the best advantage with small means, a
devoted wife will turn her thought and care to
the duties of her home.
The help of good, careful, prudent house
keeper enables man to advance his business
prospects more than anything else woman
can do.
The superficial accomplishments of board
ing-school Miss are nothing compared 70
practical education in all that pertains to ma

know it. :.
It is very imposing to witness the majestic
sweep of wards upon yards of expensive silk
flounces and laces into parlor, but, young
man, it requires large income to support SO
much style.
It is delightful to talk with young lady
who knows French, and all latest novels, and
to have q divine creature dispense her best
skirmishes of flirting with her eyes, smiles and
fan. but. Young man, there oft is but little
heart or sincerity in such practiced charms.
A girl who has only common school educa-
ton and the accomplishments taught her by a
loving mother, of cooking and all other do

good wife. -,
She may not have the most polished address.
She may not be able to entangle you with bat,
talions of arts and wiles with which .petted
fashionable belle surrounds andcaptures beaux,
but she will prize the love of an honest heart
more; and in truth and sincerity devote. her
life to requiting the love and kindness given
her.
If your income be only few hundred a

smashing will in few years fret herself into
miserable, discontented wretch, and be a dead
weight upon you while fresh hearted, do

How TO GIVE CHILDREN AN APPETITE

How TO GIVE CHILDREN AN APPETITE
Give children an abundance of outdoor e4-
ercise, fun, and frolic; make them regular in
their habits, and feed them only upon plain,
nourishing food, and shey will seldom, if ever,
complain of lack of appetite. But keep them
oyertasked in school, confined closely to the
house the rest of the time, frowning down ev-
ery attempt to play feed them upon rich or
high seasoned food, candies, nuts, etc, allow
them to eat between meals, and late in the eve
ming, and you need not expect them to have
good appetites. On the contrary, you may ex-
ppect PEI they will be pale, weak and sickly. ),
Don't cram them with food when they don't
want it or have nc appetite for it-such a
course is slow murder. If they have no appe-
tites, encourage, and if need be, command them
to take exercise in the open air. Don't allow
them to study too much, and especially keep
them from reading the exciting literature which
80 much abounds in our bookstores and clrcu-
Iating libraries. In addition to securing exer-
else for the children as above, change their dl-
ct somewhat; especially if they have been eat
ing fine -four, change to coarse or Graham
-four. Al, y.
Sickness is the most expensive thing on the
face of the globe. There may be instances .ss
where it makes people or children better, but
generally it makes them selfish, sad, misanthFo-
pic, mean, and miserable. The best E way y tt, to
make children happy and good is to keep them
well.-Boston Journal Of Chemistry.
