MR.. KINGS LEcTuRE.--A most interesting
lecture was delivered at the Court House, on
Monday night, by Mr. T. King, of Kenton.
His impressions during recent tour through
the British Isles and the continent of Europe
was the subject. These impressions" given
in pleasing, unaffected style, We're graphic
and spirited pictures of sights and scenes nov
ell to American eyes. The lecture was lit up
by flashes of humor and incidents showing the
ludicrous mistakes which travellers some
times make in foreign countries, when not "a
miliar with the language. 1t occupied about
an hour and a-half in its delivery, and was
listened to with the closest attention through
out. AT It's close more than one of the au-
dience was heard to declare that the next
best thing to seeing foreign countries for
themselves is to hear Mr.. Kings animated
and pleasant description ofthem. The pro-
ceeds of the lecture were for benevolent OBJ
jects.

On Friday night last, Professor Donaldson, in
company with Mr.. Fulton and Mr.. Fox, report
ers for the press, landed his mammoth balloon,
the "Barnun," on the farm of Mr.. Silas Warner,
near Mill Green. On Sunday morning the news
few like wild fire, and large crowd of men,
women and children assembled at Mr.. Warmers
to see the novel sight. The largo aerial travel
Ter was securely tied to terra irma, and the peo-
pie were highly pleased to see the cloud-visit-
ing machine. Mr.. Donaldson, with the accom-
modating politancss of q true gentleman, as
cended to the height of near 500 feet several
times, taking ladies, gentlemen and children up
with him, and landing them in safety; which of
course grutfcd them very much. About half
past . o'clock, Saturday morning, the intrepid
eronaut with his companions, took their seats
and bidding adicu to their friends started again
on their erial trip. The balloon arose slowly
and majesically, and it was grand sight. For
the first few moments it went south, its course
then changed to s. 8. west, when after floating
perhaps two miles, having then gained an alti-
tudc of perhaps half mile, took southeast.

light, and the beautiful traveller went very slow

the balloon descended slowly and went out of

and his friends landed in safety between Glen

and to many Of them it was great curiosity
They feel very thankful that the wind brought
the beautiful visitor with its living freight of
perfect gentlemen over this part of our county.

Sunday School Celebration,

Mr.. EDITOR; On Tuesday, the 22d inst, the
Deer Park Union Sunday School held their
fourth annual celebration, which was very
pleasant affair. The company met in a beauti.
full grove near the Union School house, where
stand was erected for the speakers and seats
provided for the company. The day was fine and
the bright shimmering rays of the sun darting
through the outrageous foliage of the tall oaks
made the place one of rare beauty, and as ifto
add enchantment to the scene large flock of
black birds settled in the grove and made the
place jocund with their sweet songs during the
greater part OF the evening. The exercises com
menced with singing by the choir belonging to
the school, led by MIR. j. j. Warner then prayer
by George l.. Scott, vice superintendent of the
school. The scholars next rccited number of
pieces from the speakers stand which they did
well, and am sorry that have not space to
give all their names; but must say that Har-
old Scarboro youth of IL years delivered most
beautiful, sensible and strong lecture ON the
evils of intemperaucc which he had composed
unaided by any one He read his production in
clear, unaffected manner, and his lecture we'll
deserves place among the first temperance
papers of the day. The meeting was now adj
dressed by George l.. Scott, who delivered an
eloquent and appropriate address his remarks
were partly historical and he handled his subject
with skill and great beauty; his remarks to the
children were replete with useful instruction
and were truly affecting and well calculated to
make lasting impression on his juvenile hear
ers. After Mr., Scott concluded, the choir sung
beautiful anthem; when James Armstrong,
Superintendent of the Franklin Sunday School,
was introduced to tho audience and delivered
chaste address. His remarks were terse, lucid
and to the point, and his advice to the children
was excellent. Both gentlemen were listened
to with attention and delight by their hearers.
After more singing the children were invited to
the table for the expected treat.
The table was loaded with bounteous sup
ply of good things and decorated with garlands
of choice flowers. An ample treat had been
provided for the occasion by the ladies, and all
good things, as there was an abundance for all.
The speakers stand was decorated with wreaths
of flowers, the work of fair hands; In front of
the stand were posted scriptural cards, printed
present and the beauty of the ladies was enough

BLACK HORSE Sept. 18th, 1SI4.
MR. EDITOR On last Wednesday the citi
zens of this vicinity were quite surprised, about
o'clock, A. NJ, nj the appearance of Prof
Donaldson and his balloon. 1t created quite
CONSERVATION while it hovered over this neigh
borbood for about the space OF one hour and A.
half. People ran to and fro, some imagined
when he blew his horn from the aerial height,
that Gabriel WAS about TO make his appearance,
and that the dissolution ofallt things was at hand
heard of one old lady who FASTENED home TO
set her house in order for the last scene.
When last seen in the distance, the balloon
was vending lis way towards Peach Bottom.
We hope that the next trip lie makes over us
that we will not be SO excited.
THE CORN CROP LIGHT
The farmers are busy seeding and cutting up
their corn. The crop of corn in this part of the
county is quite light, owing to the protractcd
drought.
NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.
The patrons of McKendry public school have
met and selected site for q new school house
on the road between Black Horse and McKen-
dry Church. The old house is entirely too
small and lily adapted to the large number of
pupils in this School District, now under the in
struction of Prof Gibson, formerly of Bethel
Academy. We have no doubt but that our live
Board of School Commissioners will give them
an appropriation to build good house, such as
they have been building In other parts of the
county.
GETTING READY FOR THE CATTLE SHOW.
Many of our farmers are hurying their work

Kellogg is n fraud and usurper; but
having reconized him as Governor of Louisi-
ana in 1872, President Grant must continue
to recognize him in 1874. So say the pa
pers, but why must he? Ifhe made mis-
take in 1872, why is he bound to stick to it
and repeat it in 1874? The President ought
to do what is right, not what he knows to
be wrong, says the N. Y. San.
