nation by those States, cost t3it 90 per man. in
dependently OF the liberal bounties Of the Gov
ernment; those for the Middle States cost taCz q
per man, and those from the Western states

those States TO the ,rst Congress which assem-
hled after the peace amounted to fl6T, ,93t, ,o64,

The True Man.

| One who is not visionary, but practical
One who does not PREJUDICE, but knows of
what he affirms, and affimrs it fearlessly
Not caterer to public sentiment, but a
laborer for public good While respect
ing tile opinions of others he has his own.
Not unforgiving and skeptical, but ready
! in charitable exercise to forget offense,
and forgive offenders, and always believe
on evidence. lfa professor of the chris
| tian religion, he is not boisterous or spas
modic, but steady in principle, as the
needle to the pole. His professions are
not made secondary but primary. He may
have mirth, but is no clown. He is a
man of ideas and enxieties. He aspires
to success and reioices in it; but mourns
the loss of good thing. He would build
himselfup religiously and ciyilly, but not
on the ruin of others. He sympathizes
with the unfortunate, ard labors to make
the most of the present and let the past
and future alone, knowing he cannot
mend the former-;lnd if he properly at
tends to the latter, the future will be well
attended to. If rich in goods he makes
them dlfiusive Tor general good. If in
thought and feeling (richer in the superla-
tive degree) he would be ditfusive for gen
.eral good. He is a safe and true counse-
lor, a tried and true nsdn. AS man of
business, or profession, he is dcfineable
What he says to-day, he will do to-mor-
row if It's in his power. If not, he will
frankly acknowledge it, and not feel hui
inflated in SO doing. He never disapr
respects interiors and superiors as they
should be. BOYD.

Tsui eide.
FRANKLIN, Pa March 1.-THE COM
munity here was thrown into st ate of
the profoundest excitement this morning
by the suicide of Thomas F. Anderson,
cashier of Lambertson Bank, and one of
the Oldest cashiers in this region. He
opened the bank as usual at 9o'clock and
transacted business with several custom
ers. He was afterwards noticed running
in and out of the bank in q hurried and
excited manner and then hurrying up
thirteenth street toward his residence.
Smoke was then seen issuing from the
bank, and the persons who had noticed
his maneuvers entered the bank, suppos-
ing it to be on fire, when they discovered
the CRATE heaped up with bank notes, bonds
and bank papers, rapidly being consumed
by tre. The fire was extinguished soon as
possible, and the notes, bonds, ETC., drawn
out. Some were in charred condition,
while others were burned to ashes Upon
reaching his residence. some three squares
distant, he entered by the back way, and
handing his wife letter said that he was
about to commit an awful act, at the same

his hand. She endeavored to take il from
him, but he tore himself from her, stepped
a few steps down into the yard, raised his
hand and fired. the ball entering his right
temple. His wife fell fainting. HIS con-
seriousness returned at intervals of short
duration for an hour or more, but he gave
no explanation for the act. Several let
tiers were left by him, but their contents
have not as yet been made public. A
note left on the counter said he had de-
stroyed all the special deposits and bills
receivable. The amount absolutely de-
stroyed cannot as yet be ascertained. The
United States Treasurer has been tele-
graphed to send some one al once to ex-
anime the charred bonds What led to
this cannot be possibly ascertained. 1t is
generally supposed, however, that his ir-
regularities in conducting the business
were the cause. 1t is known that he was
carrying large overdrafts for the accom-
mediation of personal friends unauthorized
by the bank. The bank was soon to
change hands, and he was requested to
have the accounts and books in complete
order at certain date, which would ex-
pose these irregularities The bank loses
heavily, but the losses will not affect its
standing. Every confidence is felt in its
security.

one young man, intent on airing the exact
ness of his classical scholarship, had his
word about the "crisi'' of affairs So far
as the University of Michigan is concern
ed, Prof Tyler declares that the fault is
not wholly or chiefly with the stud ents.
1t is ''in the present mood of the English
speaking race-in its ignorance of its own
language, in its languid appreciation of
that language, in its reasonable prefer
ence of little bad French or bad Ger
man to any amount ofgood English; and,
as consequence of this, in the defects of
our system of popular education, in the
frigiditv and responsiveness of our methods
of teaching English, in the dearth of
good models at our tiresides, and in the
vulgarity and barbarism OF the words to
be heard in our streets and to be seen in
our newspapers" We commend this to
the attention of teachers as subject of
practical application in the daily work of
The school room.

Communication.

Mr. EDIToR:
The reply of Barr-imstcne is rcmarka-
bic for its virtual admission of the truth
of my statements. therefore I have moth
ing to say on that subject; but l wish to
briefly notice some of his insinuations,
and then pass him by forever-perhaps
He insinuates that am not the author of
Trustees" article, and vents his malir
nant spleen upon another. want him
to distinctly understand that am the
father Of the communication, andI would
have very poor opinion of myself if
was not able to plainly deny such false
statements about the church and its off.
GERS. And1 should consider myself weak
indeed if could not successfully engage
with him, either with pen or tongue His
powers are strongest in his own estima-
ton. The gentleman to whom he so ma
lignantly refers. would give no heed to
his toW slang; but am desirous Of hav.
ing the public reeoguize the proper and
legitimate paternity of the articls-One
of the Trustees Of tbs N. r. Church. I
again declare, / am the man. By giving
his false statements brief notice, the
public have found out who birthstone"
is, and this knowledge will prevent the
necessity of noticing his erroneous state
ments hereafter.
