| Ex-Confederate officers Of distinc.
ton are to be invited to the reunion
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
which takes place on Wednesday,
the 18th Of May, at Chicago. Great
preparations are in progress for the
occasion.
Mrs. Polk, widow of the late Ri
Rev. Leonidas Polk, for many years
the Episcopal Bishop of Louisiana,
died last Saturday. The deceased
was a lady of rare mental culture, OF
great force of character and refine
ment of feeling.
Some of the colored members OF
the Louisiana House claim that KEEL
Iogg promised them tho clcrkship
and majority representation upon
the committees if they would assist
IN the election of Mr.. Estilette, and
assert that William Pitt sold them
out badly. Now they want Wilt,
or seem to.
Old Ben. Wade has written let
lotter declining to run for Governor
of Ohio. He assigns several rea-
sons; but, the N. Y. Herald says,
omits the chief one, which is that
the Democratic majority in Ohio is
about forty thousand. This rea-
son makes all his other excuses
seem unnecessary.
At q meeting of ex-COnfederatc
soldiers at Memphis, Sa, urday night
to arrange for decorating the graves
of Confederates on the 22d Of May,
resolution was unanimously adopt
ed asking ex-Fcdcral soldiers to

AT the Lexington, Mass, Centen-
NAL celebration one Of the orators,
in reply to a toast to "the North
and the South, said: +" l am proud
of the men who charged 50 bravely
with their picket division on our
line at Gettysburg, as l am of the
men who 50 braYcly met aud re-
pulsed them. There are men who
cannot always choose the right
cause, but when haI ing chosen that
which their conscience dictates,
they arc ready to die forit. If they
justify not their cause, they have
at least euobled themselves and
men who. for conscience sake,
fought against their government
at Gettysburg ought easily to be
forgiven by the sons of men who
for conscience sake, fought against
their government at Lexington and
Hill"

owned by the township as a Poor House
Farm, but the management In regard to it

that purpose and passed into the hands of
John Kugler, who deceased there several years

eB- The enterprising citizens Of Centre
Hill are talking of giving their village addi-
tional prominence--on the hill--by the erec-
ton of Church, and also Hall. 1t is not
yet definitely known, we understand, as to
which of the two persuasions--Baptisto or Epis-
copalian--will build the church referred to.
Representatives of both the above named de-
nominations have the matter of instituting
their separate churches under consideration
1t is hardly probable, however, that more than
one edifice will be built. After careful COM
putation of the inhabitants of the village,
surroundings, &C., it is more than likely they
will deem 1t inexpedent. A meeting is an
nounced to be held on Monday, January 3D.,
for the further consideration of the Hall proc
ject. These improvements are now being fa-
vorably spoken of, and action will be doubt
less taken upon one, if not both Of them, in
the near future.

THE AUTHORS OF THE SPELLING MANIA
And now it is said that the publishers of
Webster's Dictionaries are responsible for the
recent "Spelling Bee excitement. Whether
this is true or not, the spelling mania was a
good thing, and it undoubtedly had a very ex-
cellent influence. OF all educational accom-
plshments, proper knowledge of the orthog-
raphy of our own language is certainly the
most desirable, and of all the deficiencies in
our educational methods, that relating to this
study is the most marked. And we were
therefore going to say that whether the SPELL
ing excitement came about through the adver-
Using efforts of the Webster publishers or
not, one thing is quite clear, and that is that
there is nothing that has helped to stimulate
the widespread interest in the subject, or
that is 80 nearly Spoilers Fade Mecum as

hensive rules for spelling, large number OF

Court PRocEEDINGs.-The jury in the case
of Pickel v. Pidcock were sent out on Tues
day morning. At about II o'clock that evening
they rendered verdict of $638. "a in favor of
the plaintiff.
Vert VS.. Strouse. This was an action
brought by the plaintiff for the seduction, by
the defendant, of his daughter. The Chief
Justice, in charging the jury, stated that the
only question for them to consider was the
amount of damages, and that they we're only
limited by the amount claimed in the declara-
ton, which was $4,000 that they should con-
slider the feelings of the father, and give such
damages as they thought proper, and that in
his opinion large damages should be rendered
in these cases. He remarked that the coun-
sci for the defendant had suggested that it
would have been better not to have made the
matter public by suit, but he thought this
a mistaken notion. The father had no right
to do the seducer personal violence, and this
was his only legal remedy, and it would be a
wholesome lesson to the public for juries to
give heavy damages, and thereby show the
sentiments of fair men in reference to this
class of persons.
The jury were out about two hours, and
rendered verdict of 81, GOO.

owner, and this suit was brought to recover
the rent for one year and four months, at the
rate of 5000 a year. The defence was that nc
contract for the rental for any definite time
was made, and that they had surrendered the
possession to the plaintiff and moved out
having the rent to the time of their with
drawal. Verdict for plaintiff, $8sO.4O.-

occurrence. While emptying the contents

plosion simultaneously accompanied the ac-
ton, and Mr.. N. experienced sharp pain
over the left eye. On investigation the
fact became apparent that cartridge had

"A correspondent of the Rod and Gun,
writing about bass fishing in the Delaware,
says, among other things, that " it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that next year the fishing for
bass in the Delaware will afford superb sport,
better, in fact, than is afforded in any other
waters on this side of the Adirondacks or the
Canadian rivers. The millions of small bass,
four or five inches in length, which may this
year be seen darting about in all parts of the
river, will next autumn weigh from one to
two pounds each. Indeed, if the ratio Of In
crease which has prevailed for the past two
years continues land there appears to be no
reason to doubt that it willy there can
not fail to be most excellent sport. These
fish breed so rapidly that if anglers were
stationed every hundred feet along the entire
length of the river the season through, they
could not perceptibly affect the increase"
