Correspondence from Pittsburgh Fe-
male College.

ED. REPUBLICAN The closing ex.
ercises of the above institution have
just terminated year past having
been one of the most prosperous in
the history of the institution. Eight
full days were given to the commence
ment exercises, the scope of study be-
ing such as to require that amount of
time, Twenty-Five professors are regu-
iarly engaged in conducting the exer-
cises of the college, while in session,
and the attendance of students is large.
Moreover, the high standing of scholar
ship maintained at this institution, the
extent and variety of the Commences
ment Exercises, ard the peculiar man.
ner Of conducting the examinations
combine to render the occasion one of
deep interest in this city.
Eight full days were occupied in ex-
aminations, and contests for the va
rious prizes. The classes were placed
in the hands of experts with rival in
stitutions, or where the professors of
the college examined, slips, containing
chapter of topic to be examined in
were drawn by the young ladies, and
the subject Immediately demonstrated.
Even Buffers Analogy was examined
in topically, yet the line of argument
was clearly stated, and cogently de-
veloped.
First in order was the Senior exam
ination, conducted by Prof Griggs, of
Western University and Rev. DIR. Hor-
ner. Friday afternoon the Latin ex-
animation for the Holmes prize took
place. 1t was closely contested by
several young ladies, and finally
awarded to Miss Kate Collier. The
musical contest for the Mckee and
Mellor prizes came off Friday evening.
The Chapel of the College was densely
crowded by an unusually intelligent
audience. Ten young ladies engaged
in the contest which was we'll sustained.
The Mckee prize, fo- instrumental
music,--a beautiful gold cup,-was
awarded to Miss S. Cunningham; the
Mellor prize, for vocal music, to Jen-
ME Wallace. Rev. j. A. Pearce preach
ed the Baccalaureate sermon. Mon
day the examination for the Mrs. Bish-
op Simpson prize for proficiency in
mathematics came of-two prizes,
awarded to Jennie Patterson and Liz
zie Green. The reading contest, for
silver cup, came off Monday evening.
Reading and vocal music filled up the
time,-Minnie Maple receiving the
prize. Wednesday and Thursday we're
occupied with the exercises of the
graduating class and the conferment of
diplomas, by DR.. Pershing, the Presi-
dent.
This is noble and prosperous insti-
tuition. The buildings are large, well
ventilated, magnificent. The corps of
teachers one of the largest and best
selected in the country. The President,
a live man. The government mild
and paternal. The influence religious.
The scope of study extended. Require
ments-thoroughness,-no fancy grad
uatiops here. The grade of scholar
ship required, the highest Thorough
ness in every department is absolutely
required. Rev. DIR. Pershing is Presi-
dent, and may be addressed for infor-
nation.

 ton to day, and feel better and wiser for so doing. did not vote, having no right
 to do so, but witnessed pleasant scene,
 and one that made an impression which l cannot easily forget. saw no half grown boys; no drunkenness; fraudulent voting or police clubbing, and every thing passed
 without excitement and without distur- hance. To one accustomed for long years, to the varied scenes of political life in the great city, this election and its management seemed more like family gathering, so orderly and quietly was every matter con ducted, and so free from that bitter feeling
 so often exhibited in larger places, by per sons of different nationalities, creeds and
 preiudices. I also observed that in matters relating to the municipal affairs of the town, all parties seemed desirous of se
 lecting good ticket, and one that would be generally approved of by the people of the town. The meeting was called to order
 by the Hon John Cotton Smith, veteran in the Democratic ranks, and the voters of the town, mountain and valley, commenced at once to exercise the grand prerogative of an American citizen, by dropping his ticket in the mahogany ballot box. The gallant Winchester was there, so was Major Delevan Judge Hunt the Goodwin boys; the hard working Gillette; the elder Gager Capt Jewett; Deacon Sears; and in fact every good and true man was pres ent to deposit his ballot as his conscience dictated, and as seemed right and proper. I missed however my old friend, Counsellor Skinner, and concluded that he must have been detained by illness, or some pro fessional engagement. noticed upon some of the tickets, Q little scratching, and decided that things were somewhat mixed, but this you know, MT. Editor, is common in political life, and shows the indepen- dence of the vote. After the ballots were fairly counted by committee appointed things, that our present town clerk was reelected, and that he was also elected town treasurer, and I really believe that if there had been half dozen other offices to be filled, he would have been elected to fill them all, so great is his popularity among Democrats and Republicans. have made up my mind that he is unquestionably the pet of the village. My old friend, MT. George Chase, has held the office of treas urer for many years, and has conducted the financial affairs of the town, as l am in correct and honorable man. ner, and retires from office with a unspot- ted record. Tine question, as to whether or not, Sharon shall have Town Hall is A meeting will take place on the 10th of October, in reference to that subject, and as it is creating considerable large vote is anticipated, and every one will have an opportunity of ex pressing their views, and votes on that occasion, upon the interesting question of 8 town hall.

Editorial Correspondence of the Daily

In Salisbury we have actually seen trains of cars passing over the Connecticut Wes- tern Railroad. We saw tho tram for the first time while standing in the office of the CoNNEcTIouT WESTERN NEws-wherc, by the way, is printed one of the very best local papers in the state, and financially aided at starting by some of the finest men to be fouud anywhere, such as Honorables Barnum; Cofing, and others. Brother Cleavland entertains a wrong impression in regard to financial aid, as we have never asked or received dime from these gentle men, or anybody else, except regular pat. ronage,-yet if in trouble, we are very sure they would unhesitatingly extend to us helping hand. ED. NEWS Its unpartizan character is fast making it favorite at home, and worthy of respect abroad. It's editor J. l.. Pease, is as talented as affable, and bids fair to be one of the most suc- cessful of journalists. At Chapinville the furnace is in blast, and will soon be in con nection with the Connecticut Western Railroad by means of 8 three-quarters os mile railroad now making. At the Center of Salisbury the Congregational parsonage presents beautiful appearance, having been recently refitted and repainted a: con: siderable expense. It is occupied hy Dr. Reid, who is worthily admired by his people, being one of the sblest divines in the state, and supposed by his parish to be one of the most eloquent, also. Lakeville seems to be taking the lead as respects building, manufacturing and merchandise ing. Sharon Village has three church edi- fees, whose interiors are tastefully frescoed and we'll proportioned. We worshiped in all of them recently. The worthy grand son of former Connecticut Governor who resided at Sharon, is an Episcopalian, and Q constant and devout worshiper. His pastor, Rev. Mir. Hyde, is graceful reader and popular preacher. Bullions, of the Congregational church, son of the grammar author, has been recently made D. D., and resides in one of the most elegant parson- ages to be found anywhere, to his comfort and the great credit of his congregation.

Dangers of BallOOMing.

 LooNIsTs ARE sEATED-oNE FALLS THIRTY
 FEET AND ESCAPES WITH SLIGHT INJURIES
 THE OTHER FALLS A DISTANCE OF MILE
 AND IS CRUSHED TO DEATH.
 LOUISVILLE, Oct. 2.-At Paoli, Orange County, Indiana, on Saturday, Prof. Will bur made arrangements for balloon as- tension, accompanied by George H. Knapp, editor of The Orange County Union. As they were about getting into the balloon, the cord gave way and they made spring for the car, but only succeeded in grasp ing the ropes. As the balloon rose, MT. Knapp let go, and fell at night of about 30 feet without serious injury. Prof. Wilbur held on, and attempted to climb into the basket, but was unable to do so, and the balloon shot upward rapidly, with the aeronaut hanging below. The spectators were thrilled with horror at the terrible scene, which ended in dreadful manner. At night of about one mile the doomed man let go his hold and came whirling to tue earth. At the night he had attained he looked like small sack about foot long. As he approached the earth he was coming down feet foremost, then spread out hori- zontally, then doubled up, turned over, and then strengthened out with his head down. ward As he struck the earth he fell upon his head and back. His head was crushed into an indistinguishable mass, and his body was bruised and crushed horribly. The body made hole in the ground eight inches deep, and it rebounded four feet from where it struck. To add to the pain ful character of the accident, the Profes- sor's young wife and little daughter were on the ground and witnessed the terrible affair. The remains of the unfortunate man were properly cared for, and buried at Paoli yesterday afternoon.

Canaan Junction.


 We were not little surprised upon read ing copy of the LstcAfeld Enquirer, which accidentally came into our posses sion last week, to find quotation from the SALISBURY NEWS written by Canaan cor respondent, concerning the multiplicity and location of Canaan hereabouts, which wound up by saying ''The only Canaan of which the people whereabouts seem to have no prospects, is the Canaan above them. " ......If some common every day editor, such as Bonner, Greedy or Marble, should have thought proper to have seemingly des- troyed our future prospects in the world to come, by an article of the above mentioned nature, we should have lived in hopes that by proper conduct, and close perusal of such sheets as the Enquirer. to have avoi- ded fate like thls. But when such men as MT. c. A. Hickox shall deliberately, and in premeditated manner, pass 8 judgment like thls upon the poor Canaanites, which apparently blots out forevermore all of our future prospects and happiness, we deem it foregone conclusion that this decision is a final one, from which there IS no ap- peal, but in so accepting this situation, we would say to the people of North Western Connecticut, that if they wish to avoid similar condemnation, (especially from the Enguirer,) that they had one and all better send for Mir. Hickox's paper, for we have ascertained that there is not more than half dozen copies of the aforesaid sheet, that find their way to the people of this locality, to point out the course to be pur- sued, that our prospects may be frightened for the ''happy land of Canaan."i
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
 [We are sorry our Canaan friends take the comments of the Enquirer, on their correspondence quite so hard. Bro. Hck- OK is generally sound on most questions, and probably meant no harm in this in- stance. ED. NEWS.
