The Neotrophian Literary Society OF
Bethany College
RrruANx Nn,- e 1874

Editors of the Register:
Last evening, according to custom, the
members of the Neotrophian Literary
Society of Bethany College, met for the
purpose Of celebrating the Thirty-third
anniversary of their institution. Seven
o'clock found large and intelligent
audience assembled in the beautiful So
ciety halls, awaiting the appearance of
the speakers. Many ladies from both the
village and surrounding neighbofhood,
graced the hall, and in the opinion of
numberless Freshmen, lent charm to
the occasion not to be surpassed by the
reason and rhetoric of the speaker.
The first speaker was Mr.. G. w. Burns.
OF Ohio, representative of the Socle-
". He endeavored to show that the
world, instead OF retrograding, rs is Aow
SO often the cry Of fnarrow-minded crOak-
ers, is continually progressing. Men hayc,
in past times, made, and are now max
ing, valuable discoveries; and there is no
reason to suppose that they will not do
So in the future. The speakers thoughts
were forcible and we'll expressed, and
SOIINlSllOl III NtiN
Mr.. ID. F. Patterson was introduced
rs representative from the alumni, he
having graduated in the class of 50. He
is II lawyer of great ability, and occupies
a leading position in tho Pittsburgh bar.
His subject was Individual Responsible
ty," and it was good, practical address
to the young men. To hear such plain,
sound views set forth in clear language
was quite relief from the usual Grafton
delivered before young men. While
the speakers eyes arc fixed on the
clouds, he is apt to stumble against,
or overlook the distractions in the earth
~ path, which must be trod by all before
realizing anything like their fair, frail
castles in the air. Good, sensible advice
is rs rarely given as it is rarely received.
Mr.. Patterson arguments were strong,
his anecdotes pointed, and his language
we'll chosen. Though the address was
long. the interest of the entire audience
was kept up to the end.
The President, Mr.. Borland, extended
cordial invitation to all to visit the So
ciety at its regular meetings, and it would
be well for all parties concerned, giving
the performers more assurance, ard the
visitors much pleasure. The Ncotro-
phians are justly proud of their success
and all will wish them many happy re-
turns of the dayl Robert.

womap. Chances OF Marriage.

Enqland's marriage statistics have been
snslyzed TO show the probabilities ot
marriage for women at different ages
Supposing the sum of a womans chances
of marriage to be one hundred, she eN-
b,usts between the ages Of Is and 20
wears fourteen and half chances. 1t
She lives unmarried from 20 TO 20, h!ty,
two more of her chances have vanished
into thin air. If she remains unmarried
for five more wears, she will turn thirty,
with only fifteen and half chances
ont of her hundred left. At
ter thirty-fvs she has eleven
and half chances, and at this point this
sta,istisn gave up his calculation, except
,ba, he assures us that even after. a wo-
man has lived unmarried sixty years she
still has the tenth Of n chance of getting
married out of the hundfed with which
she is supposed to have started life. The
statist might have done more valuable
service if he had carefully calculated and
recorded the .'chsnces" Of a woman get
TING herself into "better or worse con,
dition by marriage. 1t has happened
that the woman who had toe least chance
of getting married has had the best
chance Of being happy.

Wonderful CuriOsity-Part Animal
and Part Human.

The British ship Scindia, Capt. George
Harrison, arrived here II few days since
from Calcutta, having on board one Of
the most remarkable natural curioslties
the world has probably ever seen. 1t
consists of a short horned, sacred Brahmin
bull, born in Nepaul, Northern India, in
1871, and imported here by Captain
William Denison Folger. formerly OF this
city, but 'atterly resident OF Calcutta.
The bull itself Is remarkable curiosity,
and is one of that description Of animals
held in great reverence by the natives OF
India, on account of its traditional sacred
character. But in this case novel lmSus
aaturr renders it a most singular crca-
ture. The brute portion is symmctrlcally
formed with glossy coat OF fawn color
ed hair and well shaped body and limbs.
But protruding, as it were, from the left
side of the hump on the back of the neck
Of the animal, is IL wonderful and rcgu-
larlv shaped in nearly all respects, human
arm. The deltoid and triceps and blcepS
muscles are well developed, particularly
the latter; the joint at the elbow is fexi-
bic, the forearm rather attenuated, the
wrist is fully flexible us in the human
arm proper. while the hand is composed
of four distinctly marked fingers, two OF
them connected together. The extraor-
dinarv appendage to an otherwise well
formed body does not appear to
give the creature any inconveni-
ence or pain generally hanging
bv its side, except when 1t Is
aneered or annoyed, when the arm raises
rs fits posscssor felt inclined to ''strikc
from the shoulder" The animal is quite
healthy, enjoys ravenous appetite, the
nice grass of its native cline being its
fsvorite food, and does not seem to have
suffered any bodily injury by its long
sea voyage. If not disposed Of in this
country, we learn that it is tn" intention
of the importer to take the creature to
England, and secure it place in the
London geological Gardens, where such
novelties are highly priced. 1t Will
prove unique attraction to the natural
curiosities in our Central Park. 1t has
already been visited on the Scindia by
several scientific gentlemen Of this city
and Brooklyn, where the ship lies, near
the Fulton Ferrv.-Ne,c York Hcrdtd.

PEOPLE like to think well of them
selves; all men wish to believe that, IN
point of intellectual attainments and in
other ways they are above the average.
As rule, they do not fancy that their I'M
mediate associates are anything OF the
kind. Therefore when any one OF these
latter does that which puts them into the
shade, they sometimes lose heart and
temper at the same. The conclusion
seems irresistibly forced upon them that
they are below mediocrity. Thus,
because friend has surpassed
them in one particular, they
endeavor to show that he Is
wofullv weak in:other respects, doing this
with the view of demonstrating that they,
themselves, are, upon the whole, of most
account. The folly--ifit is nothing worse
of all this, is apparent to the man VIII"
will think about the matter for hve
minutes. 1t is true everything is Judged
bv comparison, but, at the same time, II
should no, be forgotten that the Tact o'
one man being exceptionally clever does
not make another man other than Whas
he is and what he chooses to make HIM.

Brutal and Revolving Murder.

CISCINSAII, o., November S.-A
most brutal, revolving aud mysterious
murder was committed at the tannery of
Henry Fielburg, on Livingstone street,
sometime between 10 o'clock last night
and day light this morning. One Of the
workmen went to the tannery in the
morning and looking into the boiler fur
mace observed upon the half consumed
fire the body Of man the arms and legs
burned of. Herman Schllling, work
man of the tsnnery who slept there at
night, was missing, and the body when
extracted Was identified as that of
Schilling. In the stable there were
signs of desperate encounter. A bloody
pitchfork lay on the ground, and blood
stains formed a trail to the furnace in
the tannery. Within the enclosure in
which the stable was located, three fierce
mastiffs were running loose. From this
and other circumstances it was inferred
that the Inurderers must have been per-
fectly familiar with the premises, as we'll
as with the habits Of the murdered man.
Suspicion is settled on three men,
Andrew Egnor, Frederick Egner, his
son, and George Ruter, II
discharged employee Of the tannery.
Persons testified to hearing threats Of
Schilling's life from all three Of these.
kufer was discharge yesterday evening,
and WAS familiar with the premises
Egner & Son kept beer saloon and
cooper shop next to the tanncry, and were
often in and out ofthe latter place. Early
last August seducd daughter of Egncr
died in child birth al the hospital. Egner
and his son charged Schilling with her
seduction, and wentinto the tanncry aud
beat him severely with cooper Stavcs.
For this they were fined in
the police court heavily, and were
bound over to keep the peace for one
year. Rufer, the tanner, who was dis
charged last night, was an employee of
Egners last August, and he denies enmi-
ty against Schilling, but says Egners
son threatened Schillings life, and that
several of the Coopers working for Eg-
her had said Schilling ought to be hung
and burned. No trares Of blood have
have been found on any oftheir clothes,
except Rulers. TIE supposition is that
the men entered the stable while Schil-
ling was asleep, beat him with clubs and
pitchforks, and attempted to burn him.
The excitement is very great.
