A NUMBER of distincuishod citizen.

a NUMBER of distinguished citizens,
in the 'sfull flush aud vigor" of mature
manhood have determined to inaugu-
rate course Of lectures. Two well
known gentlemen have already signi-
he'd their willingness to open the course
gratuitously, which will be great help
financially speaking, for it will be a
start without money. To start withou,
money is Ole of the hardest things to
DO In these days of /" Mammon." The
hrst lecture will be most appropriate to
the start, and, if it may be guessed at,
will tell eloquently all about how to
keep the thing agolng after it has been
started The lecture will be styled,
"Political Economy for the Benefit of
the Heatben." The kind lecturer has
written, or IL about to write TO MIR.
Jones, President Grants right hand
gold and silver man, for the purpose of
obtaining his views on the subject
Once they have been obtained the time
for opening the lecture season will be
announced over the names of the gen.
tlenen who constitute the association.
The second Is TO be a compre hensiye
lecture on Education, past, present, and
compulsory. 1t is in a state of rest,
also. Its near or distant delivery de-
pends upon the response to certain ques
tons that the lecturer says be has pro-
pounded to distinguished State educa-
tors.

THIS is Mr.. Meeker's letter that
came too late for last weeks issue:
L. i. GowEN, ESQ
Dear S,r Your favor of the Doth
received and placed in the hands Of the
printer. In the first place you say that
a published statement, printed by our
company might lead the public to sup
pose that your company were interested
in our road. The only quotations from
your letters refer to the building of the
bridge, and the market for the ores and
back loads of coal. The following are
the quotations
alt is our intention to rebuild the bridge
at Port Trcyerton. and our road from that
point eastward is public highway, over
which yonr company can at all times have
their freight transported promptly and on
reasonable terms"
ssIf YOU succeed, as it seems you are
likely to do, you can always depend upon
having a good market In our regions Tor
your ores and in getting back loads OF coal
There is not one single point in the
printed statement that is capable OF the
construction you gave it. tad l IN
tended to have made any misrepresen-
tations, or attempts to deceive the peo'
ple and use your credit, would L have
sent you and Mr. Lorenz the very trs'
copy of the printed statement NO.
sir. / have always in my speeches,
and in every other statement l made,
endeavored to deal fairly and honor
ably with all, and have never made any
statements only upon authority. Al
regards the iron ores, Mr.. Lorenz reit'
Grated his statement on Friday last
that they were very fine. He further
said that your company would bulid the
bridge at Port Treverton, TO enable u
to connect with your road, and hs
thought that under the circumstances II
was very liberal on your part, as
would cost ever quarter OF milliol
dollars, and that they would not buli'
it. only to afford US connection, fol
which we certainly feel very thankful
The only objection had to the pub

before in Philadelphia, vas that all ou

An exchange says; There has been
some diversity of opinion as to the best
time to cut wheat, judging from the COM
mon practice of farmers. tits generally
cut when dead ripe. or at least when the
orain has become hard. This is no doubt
an error, and one of more Importance
than many suppose. 1t should be remem-
bered that wheat is composed of gluten,
starch and bran. Gluten Is the nOurish-
ing quality Of grain, makes the Hour
stick together in the hands OF the baker,
and gives weight to the grain-and there
is the greatest quantity of gluten in the
grain just when the straw is yellow two
or three joints from the ground, the head
turns downward, and you can mash a
grain between your thumb and hpger
without producing any milk. 1t may
therefore be set down an indisputed truth
that every day the wheat stands alter
this stage ofripeness the gluten decreas-
es in quality and the bran increases ia
thickness. We give the facts IN time
that the farmers can take advantage OF
the present season.

stories then in circulation, and all
seemed to be believed. l yet recol-
iect case that occurred near Mifilin,
on the main road from Miffiin to Tbomp-
sontown. Near the Cedar Springs a
public road leads of for Mexico. At
the foot of the little hill there on the
west side Of said road stood an old log
house, which was occupied By an old
lady and her son Stephen George and
wife, and they had hired girl. One
day, when the girl was spinning, the
baLds came off the wheel, and with all
the power of her and the family fol
several days, they could not keep the
bands on the wheel. 1t was decided
that witches we're about. One day a
lump Of clay few across the room and
struck the wall and fell on the floor,
frightening the family, and then more
clay of the daubbing of the cracks
would pass with great force and strike
the partition or wall and raise dust
and dirty the floor. The next thing
the doors would fly open or shut with
violence, aud many other things occur
red. Tue whole country went there by
day and by night, and in their midst
strange sound5 would be heard, and
the doors moving suddenly when no
wind blew. Things in their cupboard
were disturbed and broken. Rev. John
Hutchinson came and held worship
there but the family had to move out.
They blamed their hired girl for being
a witch. Now, who knew whether she
was or was not. The house was torn
down, but they found not the evil
spirit it had fed.
From one and half to two centurie:
ago the people of the New England
States had to earn their bread by the
sweat of their faces, and they only
knew that manner Of getting along
As for newspapers, none were printed
and if there had been, there were nC
mails to carry them, and books wer'
few. People, illiterate and creduious
would believe anything they heard-a
good deal like they do here yet. They
believed IN witches and wizards and al
their craft. When the people bat
fully concluded as to who the witci
was, they would meet and take her t.
deep water and tumble her in. Ii sh'
drowned it was pity, for they believed
witch would not drown. If she es
capped to shore, they would burn her
they being sure that she was witel
when she would not drown.
Much more could be written on thi
subject Of witches and their craft.
