-" VICE PRESIDENT CoLFAX, in last

i'll order to render victory certain. He OBJ
serves that the political horizon is aglow with
the brilliant rays of Republican triumphs,
AMI the huzzas Of victory thrill millions Of
happy hearts In regard to retrenchment he
would have the army and navy reduced to a
peace basis by the present gradual process,
and expects that Congress will, by next sum-
mcf have reduced the National expenditure
below $4,000, 900 per year, perhaps even
SlO,OO0,000 less. No subsidies or further
railroad grants should be accorded Regard
ing Amnesty, the Vice President holds that
the 'undoubted public opinion of the country
IS shat the time for general amensty has ar
rived, and considers that the truess states
Inanship and West policy require that the
great mass of the Southern people should be
relieved by general bill from all constitu-
tonal disabilities Civil Service Reform, in

mastmasters by the people, should be ap-
proved and practically inaugurated The
financial policy of the party should favor the
reduction Of taxation to the extent of $780,
100000 or $4,000, 900. This reduction
should be affected by reducing or removing
the duties on tea and coffee, the poor mans
secessaries of life, and the abolition of the in
colae tax, and the internal taxes affecting
bomemanuiactures While maintaining the
protective principle, the tariff might be
further modified by admitting free raw

During Fair week, a portion of the
ladies of St Johns Lutheran Church, held
Fair and Festival at Phoenix Hail. in this
borough, the proceeds are which to be ap-
piled to the payment of the debt on the
Church Organ. The Hall was elegantly
decorated, and the display of fancy articles
and edibles all that could be desired. These
latter, too, were dispensed by most beauti-
full specimens of Heavens last best gift to
man." which could not fail to make the eff
fort an artistic as we'll as pecuniary success.
The net proceeds of the Festival reached the
handsome sum of $3.50.
During the same week, another portion
of the ladies of the same congregation held a
similar Festival in the basement of the
church building. The attendance, here too,
was large, and everything was arranged in
the most beautiful style. Indeed it has sell
dom been our privilege to enter a room SO
beautifully decorated. The good things of
the season were dispensed without stint to
liberal patrons, awaiting each their turn to
be served, and the proceeds must have foot
ed up most literally We have not heard
the result stated in dollars and cents
The ladies of both branches extend their
most sincere thanks to the liberal public for
their substantial aid

Blind TOm.-This marvellous musical
prodigy will give grand Concert, at Hollins-
heads Hall, on Monday evening next, October
18th. Tom is colored lad, and has been
blind from birth. In all things else he is
weak-approaching nearly to the idiotic,
while his MUSCLE powers, are excelled by no
one-not even by the most finished artist.
Toms musical knowledge and skill are in
structive-his marvellous control over his IA
vorite instrument, the Piano, having mani
tested itself without the aid of an instructor,
and before the family in which he lived had
any idea that he even harbored thought
upon any subject. 1t is impossible in no.
tice of this kind to give even all idea of his
skill, but we can and do, most cheerfully sug-
gest to all our citizens that they will miss a
sight of the really marvellous if they fail to
avail themselves Of this opportunity to attend
Blind Toms Concert.

Game of all kinds appears to be unusually
plenty this year, and, as consequence, their la
bors are richly rewarded. The apparent care
iessness with which some ofour "young bloods''
handle fire arms, is truly appalling, and we
would advise that parents Use little discre-
ton in this matter, and thereby prevent doc
tors bill, and, perhaps, a funeral in the family

few days since where promising youth was
amusing himself by shooting at a crowd of boys
Rather dangerous practice, that.

E@35" IT is impossible to predict with any
certainty the result of the legal foray upon
the polygamous heads of the Mormon
Church, but the proceedings so far are quite
regular, and Just what we should have ex-
pccted long ago. To Brigham Young, ar
rr>tal upon an Indictment for adultery, we
now have added Bishop Wells, the Mormon
Mayor Of Salt Lake City and high func-
t;onary in the Church of Latter Day Saints
The indictments are modest in their charges,
Young being credited with only sixteen
wives and Wells with only one superhuous
companion Of his joys and sorrows, while it
is notorious that both have many more. We
have no information as to the number of
Normons indicted, but it is obvious that the
arrest and trial of large number would not
have the striking moral effect which would
attend the trial and conviction of one or two
leading Normons.

LETTER FROM ALLENTOWN.
ALLENTOWN October 9TH, 1871.


Mr.. EDITOR Thinking that a few facts
concerning the origin and growth of Muhlen-
berg College would be of interest to many OF
your readers, and in view OF this 1act'
have collected few statistics to show that the
Institution vet in its infancy, is gradually grow
ing and promises at no distant day to compete
with the best colleges in our country. ms
Institution of learning was founded A. ID. Io4o,
by the Rev. C. r. Kessler, A. NJ. The chief
object in founding it was to furnish Allentown
and the surrounding region with school SO
organized as to furnish every facility for high
degree of literary culture. The Institution
was originally called the Allentown Seminary,
which name it retained until A. ID. 1864, when
by an Act of the Legislature it was incorpora-
ted with full Collegiate powers under he title
of the Allentown Collegiate Institute and Mill
tary Academy. During the summer of1S67 1t
passed into the hands of a new Board of Trus-
tees who had the Charter amended by the
Court of Lehigh county, and by whom it was
constituted:
MUHLENBEIG COLLEGE.
On the 1st of September 1867, this Institution
was formally opened. There were in atten'
dance during the first year about one hundred
and sixty students and at the close of the Col
Iegiate year, ending June 1868, the graduating
class numbered four, which was very encourag-
ing. when we take into consideration that many
new Colleges do not have any graduates for a
number of years The class of 1869 numbered
three; the class of 1870 numbered seven, and
the class of 1871 numbered fourteen. The pre-
sent Collegiate year began the 9Th of last Sep,
tember, with the following number of students
present in each class, seniors, IA; juniors %
sophomores, 1S; freshmen, %; academies
so. The number of Instructors at present are
nine; seven Professors and two Tutors.
The Buildings of the Institution are situated
in the southeastern part ofthe city surrounded
by about five acres of ground, devoted to it
exclusive use. The building presents from
of 12O feet, with center building of so feet
and two wings each So feet The center build
ing has four stories in front and five in the
rear and extends to the depth of one hundred
and forty feet. The accommodations are o
the most improved character.
The people of Allentown, for the most part
are defendants of the old Germans, and conse
quently are noted for their hospitality. Th'
advantages here, physically, socially, mental!
and morally are of the highest nature. Th
College is beautifully located and commanding
an extensive view of the surrounding country
is certainly a desirable place to spend fev
years for the purpose of acquiring an educa
ton. PHILos.

Another grand excursion to New York
is on the tapis, to take place on the 10Th and
20 insts. The arrangements as completed for
this excursion are such as reflect great credit
upon the committee, while the fare for the
round trip has been placed at figures which will
induce every one who can possibly spare the
time to participate. The train will leave
Stroudsburg on the morning of the 10Th, and
return on the following day, thereby giving
the excursionists night in the city, and a
chance to attend the theater, or enjoy them
selves as they may see proper. Wepredict for
the party merry time.

Asomethins worthy ofno,c. and viii,

AsOm efhins s worthy ofnotc, and which
should bring to its possessor a liberal re-
ward, is the new elegant Corpse preserving
Caskct," which McCarty, our untiring and
entcrprising cabinet maker and undertaken,
has recently added to his already large stock
of undertakers fixtures. This article is
especially designed to preserve the corpse,
for almost unlimited time, and experiments,
made for days and even weeks, show it to be
a complete success. Though ice is used in
the preserver, by an ingenious arrangement
internally, the barbarous practice of burying
the corpse in ice is wholly done away with.
In the old box tho body was wrapped, un-
dressed, in a blanket and ice placed below, on
both sides and above it, rendering the view
ing of it by relatives and friends perfect
horror. In this box, the body is dressed as
for the grave, laid upon a neat cane-seat
platform, placed in the bottom, and presents
the same appearance to friends and relatives
as when laying in the Coffin The ice is
placed upon receiver in the top, and is
wholly cancelled from view-the cold air
being conveyed to the Corpse through rub
Der tubes. BY a peculiar arrangement, all
dampness is excluded from the lower cham
Der in which the corpse is laid, and when the
hour for the funeral arrives, tits but the work
of few moments to arrange the body in the
coffin. By its Use everything connected with
the inside of the preserver can be closed SC
that nothing can disturb its contents and
except, when desirable, the disagreable
necessity of having 'stters-up' with the
dead dispensed with. The expense to Nc
Carty, in procuring of "a set of preservers,
will amount to several hundred dollars, but
cost appears to be nothing to him. The
benefit of the pablic, and excelsior" in
business seem to be the great objective points
towards which his whole aim is directed. He
certainly has earned the extensive patronage.

dertaker, which is constantly flowing in upon
him.

RSy~ THE October statement of the public
debt shows another material reduction.
During the month ofSeptember the decrease
effected was $l3, As. .62-lcaving the amount
Of debt yet outstanding S2,260, Cos, 939
This is a brighter record of financial success
than was ever before presented by any
National Administration; and at the same
time the taxes have been greatly reduced
and many of them entirely abolished 1t
should be a question with every citizen
whether the public credit, which now stands
50 high, would be promoted or injured by a
political change in the Administration.

TIE ELECTION.

The returns of the Election throughout
the State indicate the election of Stanton
and 3eath, Republicans, by from Is, 900 to
20. 900 majority.
Both branches of the Legislature are
Democratic.
From our own county the returns come in
slowly. Enough is known however to show
Che election of Staples Dem. to the Legisla-
ture, and DeYoung and Bossard Associate
Judges. The contest for Sheriff is very
close between McNeal and Henry, and, for
Treasurer between Fctherman and Gunsau-
les Collins, dem. is probably elected Sena
tor by majority ranging from one to two
hundred.

From the Baltimore American.
Salt for the ChillS.

We learn at recent meeting OF the
medical fraternity of Baltimore the sub.
ject of salt as a cure for ague and fever
was discussed, and considerable ridicule
thrown over the assertion that it has
proved effective in any well developed
case. We rather fear that our physi-
clans are determined to place themselves
in the position of the old manufacturers
of heather gods, who so strenuously op-
posed the christian religion because it
was calculated to injure their business
As to salt as remedy for chills there
can be no doubt Of its efficiency as a sub,
stitute for that most blood depicting and
nauseous compound known as quinine.-
In Cecil county, where this disease is one
of the semi animal visitants, salt and wa
ter drank at day break for three successive
mornings is regarded as al unfailing cure
for the most stubborn cases. We have
this assurance from intelligent and reli.
able gentlemen, who have taken it them
selves and administered it to others in in
Vulnerable cases.
As to the application of salt to the feet
by putting a spoonful of salt in each shoe
Immediately on the first symptom of an
approaching chill, we have tried it in two
cases with the most satisfactory results
Since our notice of this simple remedy a
few weeks ago, more than a dozen cases
of its successful use have been reported
to us. ln each case the application of
salt in the manner described produce an
immediate restoration of the circulation
In the feet, with heating sensation,
which gradually spread throughout the
whole system and checked the disease.
Now, all who have had any experience
with this disagreeable ailment know that
the checking of chill Is the first move
ment towards its entire cure. AS the ap,
pication of salt in this simple manner
can do no harm, we hope our physicians
will cast aside this prejudice against
what they regard as an "old woman s
notion" and give it fair and impartial
trial ga.
A simple and efficient remedy like
this, for the fever and ague, if fully es-
tablised would be one of the greatest dis
coveries of the age. 1t would do much
to relieve the sufferings of humanity,
would abolish the use of many health-de
stroying nostrums, and lead to the cult
vation of some of the richest lands in the
country that are now regarded as unin-
habitable on account of the prevailing
miasmas of the fall and spring months.
