a GLIMPSE or OEIE.I

A correspondent. Of the Tnicio B'an'', in
q recent letter from Oberiin Collage. says:
The Ladic, Hall is three stories high,
and contains about fprty-iiye rooms, except
ing those on the fist floor. Each Of these
rooms is prcttily .npercd and carpc'cd, and
furnished with bed, study-tabIc, waSh-Stand.
chairs. stove, and mirror. Each room Is or-
cupied by two. The occupants oinIlnent
their rooms with pictures, brackets, notices,
hanging baskets, Sc. Some Of the rooms
are very pretty indeed. One, especially, |
noticed occupied by two negro glrl-, one
from Houston, Texas, the other from Penn
sylvanil. The walls were hung with hand
some chromos, and portraits of negroes,
hanging baskets, and trailing vines were
arranged artiSticaly and in profusion about
the walls, windows, and mirrors. Here and
there were brackets holding beautiful vases,
small statues, and articles of fancy work.
Altogethcr, the room presented Il cosy, in
,it!ng appearance. At present, there are
alb nut ninety Urls in the Ilull-ninety merry,
Union. There are. perhaps, no two who
are alike in all their habits and manners.
Each one has her own peculiar character.

sS Our distinguished neighbor over the
way, did himself infinite credit last week, ty
his terrible onslaught on vice and crime, in
the shape Of the rowdyisn Of the week be-
fore. 1t is his first essay in that direction,
seriously, and hence we feel that he deserves
heartfelt congratulations over the able man
uer in which he acquitted himself and, all
the more so, because the conduct which he
condemned was but the actull, natural
eferve5cent finale Of the great Democratic
pole raising at Brodhcadsvile In this latter
view of the matter one cannot well 90 other
wise than believe that the millennium is close
at hand. When a Democratic editor, even
so distinguished a character as our neighbor,
determines to speak right out iu meetin, >
in condemnation of the men and usuages of
his party, the millennium theory is the only
theory on which his conduct can be accoun-
ted for.

Look Out for Worthless Registered
Bonds.
Special Correspondence of Pittsburgh Com
NEW YoRK. Demcember |, 1874.

Special Correspondence of Pittsburgh Com,
NEW YORK, Demcember L, 1874.
Some time ago the United States Sc
cret Service were informed that there were
some United States Five-twenty bonds
afoat, were either counterfeits or else
genuine stolen bonds altered to prevent de
lection. Benson's force Of the Secrect Ser
vice here, were Immediately on the track,
and finally arrested at Philadelphia, one
George f. Hit alias Batchelder, late secre-
tary of the defunct Safeguard Insurance
Company, and found in his possession a
plate for the manufacture of fifty cent Uni
ted States fractional currency, and some
S12,0 of Five-twenty bonds
These bonds, instead of being counter
felt, are genuine registered bonds of the is
sue of March 3, 1868, and altered by eras-
ing the names OF the registered payees, as
well as the numbers, and remembered and
other payces substituted, and these bonds
we're used as deposits for collaterals in the
insurance company CT which Hit was sec
retary.
They were stolen at Braintrce, Mass,
on the 7th of July, 1871, and cnvate en-
tered in the Registers Office Of the United
States Treasury at the time. The sing
ularity in this case is that the bonds could
have been used as coliaterals without the
Insurance Commissioner knowing their
worthlessness, and it might be we'll for all
holding Government bonds to make rigid
examination into the matter, since, even if
registered, they may prove utterly worth
less to the holder
1t is well to know that your bonds are
not only registered, but you SHOULD also
know that they have not been tampered
With.

MUSICAL. East Stroudsburg friends
are running over with music After having
attended the musical convention held in this
place recently, conducted by Prof Perkins,
and also the school under his charge now in
progress, they have concluded to get up an
entertainment on their own hook, and to this
end have secured the efficient services of
Prof. 4. \. johnson, of Ohio, who will con-
duct a musical convention at their place
commencing on the 18th instant, continuing
four days. This will afford good opportun-
ity for our musical folks to air their talent in
that direction, which we trust they will en-
brace with alacrity. We believe this will be
the third time Prof. johnson will have con-
Quoted q musical convention at East Strouds-
burg The Prof is said to be gentleman
in the best sense of the word, is president of
several musical colleges and graduate of
music both in Germany and this country,
and has an original system of imparting a
knowledge of music, rendering it exceedingly
entertaining and successful He is also an
author of several musical works, which are
more or less known to the musical world
Let all interested in this matter be sure to
put IN an appearance.

Contested Elections.

In Northampton county they are to have
a contested election for Sheriff under the
new law.
The Democratic candidate for Sheriff in
Northampton county, Mr.. Pearson, received
ffty-two majority over Mr.. YouDg, and the
usual specification Of frauds and irregu-
laritcs are made in behalf of Mr. Young
and signed by twenty electors and sworn to
By five Of the number.
The following are some of the most i'm
portant irregularities alleged to have been
committed:
4 Justice of the Peace swearing the
Judge of Election instead Of the minority
inspector as required by law ncgiecting to
examine the registry to see whether the
name Of each voter was on it not requiring
naturalized citizens to produce their pa
pers, who have been voters for less than
five years keeping improperly the tally OF
voters in coutIng them /; not making tripli-
cate retnrns not publicly declaring the
vote of each candidate after the vote was
counted not returning list of voters to
the Prothonotary's offee neglecting to
sign the tally list, and others Of the same
character
For District Attorney, Mr. Hlburn, the
Democratic candidate, vas defeated by fifty
three majority for Mr. Merrill, and also
proposes to contest Besides the usual
specifications the contestant alleges that
many ballots with simply John" 81"
Calvin and &C" Merrill, were all
counted for John c. Merrill and there
fore illegally gave him majority

Meeting Of Congress.
NASHING NGTNH- Dee


Without excitement or confusion, Con
gress met and went quietly to work to-day
There was a full attendance IN both houses
am, the galleries were crowded with visi
tors. There was considerable interest
manifested in the Presidents Message, al
though its contencI were generally known
There were some wh9 last week thought
that the President woulo take counsel OF
the recent elections, and make scme con-
cessiOns to the demand for some incl Ease
Of currency, and favor some Of the intel
nal improvement schemes, either by direct
or indirect aid from the government. These
were all doomed to disappointment, and al
though the fact that he is for specie re-
sumption at once is gratifying to the hard
money men in both houses, who are mainly
Democrats, very few agree with him as to
the means of bringing it about.
SO far as his message was expected by
anyone to aid in rallying the broken column
Of the Republican party it was a complete
failure. His specie policy will be ignored
in both houses, and the probability is that
nothing will be done with the Currency
question this session, and time will be was
ted, as it was last winter, in fruitless en-
deavors to harmonic conflicting views in
both parties. There will, however, be a
bill introduced, and pressed at once, to re-
peal the provision of the last Bank bill re-
quiring national banks to redeem their
notes at the Treasury here. All the small
country banks are opposed to it, and are
demanding its repeal. 1t proves to be a
serious contraction and expense without
benefit to any one.
