Gratis made arrangements to have grand demon
stration, and Prof Ellengers Band was engaged
for the occasion. With the music leading, a
large procession marched up Market st. and pro-
ceeded to the residence of Wm. M. Candy, Esq,

YOUNG MECHANICS is no
class OF the community upon whom the
iuturc welfare of the country more e.
senually depends than upon the rising
generation OF young mechanics. If they
are intelligent, sober, industrious aud
consequently independent, able and ac-
custumed to judge tor themselves. and
governed in their conduct by an enlight
ened view OF their own best interests; if
they are men OF this sort, the mechanics
and especially the young mechanics
will form, IN conjunction with the Young
farmers. OF the country, a bulwark against
monopolies and corrupt politicians. and
save the republic. If, on the other
hand they are ignorant, idle, dissoIute,
and consequently poor, and dependent
upon those who are willing 10 trust
them-if our mechanics should unhappi-
ly become such q class-thcv would
soon be converted into the mere tools of
u few rich and arttul men, who, having
first stripped them OF every sense of self
respect, aud every feeling proper to vir-
tuous cilizens, would use them as pas
sive instruments for promoting their
own ambitious objects, and for the en-
actment OF laws which are beneficial to
nobody but the artiul few and base dem
agogues with whom they originate.
1t is as true of the mechanical arts as
OF any other profession that "knowl-

GLUTroNY.-A retired physician
writes: "How does it happen that
amid the everlasting cry against
drunkenness we never hear word
against its sister evil, gluttony? l
think can assert with truth that, in
long practice, three have died among
my patients from over-eating where
one has died from drink. Whence
comes apoplexy, paralysis, dyspepsia,
and host Of other diseases, but from
too much rich food, taken under the
most imprusent circumstances? And
yet we hear of no society formed to
prevent this growing vice. A man
eats until he drops down and expires
with apOplexy by the roadside, when
up comes the coroner with jury of
twelve good men and true, who pro-
nounce verdict Died from intemper.
ance.' So he did, but what kind of
intenperance was it? / have heard
more than one minister In the pulpit
expatiate with great vehemence against
the sin Of drunkenness, whose very
appearance was proof positive that he
was pre-eminentIy guilty of gluttony."

sions Of dennnciation-the same crowd
that little while before had marked
Burton as the murderer.
Well, to finish this story, have
little to add. l was retained by the
bank officers TO prosecute Thomas
Healy, and he was convicted Of the
crime. He protested his innocence
almost to the last, but the night be-
fore he was executed he made full
confession, stating that he had deter
mined to rob the bank some evening
when Mr.. Richards was there alone.
IL was Mr.. Richards custom, he ex.
planned, 70 60 TO the bank in the even
ing, and when he and young Burton
quarrelied, he, Thomas saw his oppor-
tunity. His determination was
strengthened by hearing Mr.. Rich
ardslrenark on the day of the murder
- he sat 1t dinner, that there was an
unusually large amount Of cash on
hand. The note in the case was one
that Miss Clara had given him TO take
to her father some days before, bat
Mr. Richards coming home before
Thomas foaod, him. it had not been
delivered as intended. BY the aid Of
this note he had got Mr.. Richards in
tho bank, and while he was reading it
he struck him with stove poker, and
then cut his throat. He got no money
as the vaults had been locked.
The night Thomas made his confas-
sion he committed suicide, thus cheat
ing the gallows tree Of its just due.
Howard Burton was made cashier of
the bank and married Clara Richards
within u year, and they are both still
living.

Three Good Lessons.

'One OF my first lessons said Mr..
| Sturgis, the eminent merchant, was in

grandfather had fine flock of sheen
which were carefully tended during the
war of those times. was the shepherd
boy and my business was to watch the
sheep in the fields. A boy who was
mole fond of his book than the sheep
was sent with me, bat left the work to
me, while he lay under the tree and
read, | did not like that and finally
went to my grandfather and complained

you watch the sheep you will have the

What does grandfather mean bv
that? l said to myself. Il don't expect
to have sheep. Myldesires were mod
crate, and fine buck was worth hund-
red dollars. l could not exactly make
out in my mind what it was, but had
great confidence in him, for he was
judge, and had been to Congress in
Washington's time so went back cou-
tentedly to the sheep. After l got into
the field could not keep his words out
OF my head. Then thought of SUNDAYS

to New York as a clerk 10 the late Lv-
man Reed. A merchant from Ohio,
who knew me, came to buy goods, and
said: Make yourself so useful that
they cannot do without you.' | took
this meaning quicker than I did that of
my grandfather.
Well | worked upon these two ideas,
until Mr.. Reed offered me a ~srtnership
in the business. The first morning al
ter the partnership was made known,
Mr.. James Geery, the old tca-merchant,
called to congratulate me, and he said:

MINGLING WITH STRANGERS.-The ef-

pie, do the same things, feel the same

ADVICE TO WoMEN.-Never lend
your money to any man without the
most ample security. DO not be tempted
by offers OF high interest or large profits
to invest in business enterprises OF
which you know nothing. Ii you do
two to one you will be cheated espec-
tally il the tempter i. relative who
ought naturally 10 protect you. Put
your money into public securities, or
The savings banks, and be content with
fair interest and-safety. Take no man s
word in matters of money, but take in
slead the advice of disinteresled parties,
and demand always the soundest secur-
tiles. Men ale not governed in business
matters by friendship or relationship,
but by their own interest.

ed to leave. AS they did not get out as soon
as:desired, Mr.. Gass, we are told, tried to as

became terribly excited, and as he suffers
from heart disease, he was forced to take
his bed for a short time afterwards to cool
down somewhat.

has injured the trade of the town, but one
of the leading merchants of the place in

they were the same months last year.
Again, it is claimed by some that the
movement has caused much hard feeling,
while the friends of the movement claim
that they have no hard feelings towards
the opposition, and if there are any they
must be all on the other side. We do not
know how that may be, at any rate the

Messy CREEK, April %, s p. NJ.
Messy Creek is very quiet at present,
and the scarcity of money is the general
complaint.
Farmers are very much behind in corn
planting, owing to the wet weather. The
wheat looks fine all along the line of rail-
road, and heavy crop is expected,
The President's5veto of the Senate FL
nance bill is the subject of much CONVEX
sation at this place. The hope is freely
expressed that the House bill will pass and
become q law.
The students at the Messy Creek College
played a very serious prank off on new
conner, who had to be initiated the other
day. One of the students undertook to in
troduce him to a certain young lady about
mile from the town, the young lady be-
ing a college youth in female attire.
On the way to the house, the
student gave him warning as
to the young ladies' brothers, telling
"greenyn that they were curious boys, and
when angry dangerous, and in such cases
would not even hesitate to strike their sis
| ter. OF course he had no idea that they
would be there, but should they come he
had betteR look out if they were not in a
good humor. Arriving, and the introduc-
| ton being over, the student retired, leaving

his glory. But scarcely had they COM

of the enraged brothers (students in dis
guise) arrived, and one of them at once

other gave his attention to greeny," who
was making tracks. The girl shrieked &c
him for help, but he replied "no time fol
help now!" and took down the hill at Q
speed which would have put locomotive
to shame. He was met in every direction
by here he goes, here he goes % and sho
after shot was fired after him. He ran tC
the bridge over Messy creek, and there
was again met by two of the boys, whC
startled him with the cry here he is =
