Commencement sermon.

The commencement sermon before
the pupils of Lonoak Female College
was delivered in the M. +. Church
South on Sunday by Rev. J. Lester
Shipley. A large and appreciative
audience was in attendance. Theser-
mon was highly appropriate to the
occasion, and replete with thought,
eloquence and logic.
The speaker divided his discourse
into the following heads
/. Moral culture necessary to true
education.
2. Education apart from moral cul-
ture defective.
3. Education apart from moral cul-
tufe self. destructive.
4. Education must combine in
proper relations to each other moral
and mental culture to develop true
manhood.
The Reverend gentleman brought
out his points in q strong and forci-
BILE manner, and demonstrated be-
You'd a doubt that moral culture is
necessary to true education. He
urged the Importance of parents
sending their daughters to a school
where their moral culture will be
looked after as well as their intellec-
tual. The converted pupil is a better
girl, a better student "a better daagh-
ter, better in every relation of life,
discharging all her duties from the
high sense of her accountability
to God. What an influence can she
exert thus educated, wherever Prov
idence may cast her lot! The duties
of a teacher, he reasoned, were ardu-
GUS ones, yet their labor was a holy
one; they strove to develop the i'm
mortal intellect, and endeavor to
polish a diadem that is to sparkle in
the crown of the Redeemer. Then
let the teacher, always keeping in
view the absolute necessity of moral
culture to develop true manhood,
cast his bread on the waters, and it
shall be seen after many days.

Action ofthe school Board.

The Board at its last meeting made
several important changesforthe en-
suing term, as already announced in
the published proceedings. This
change, we are informed, will result
in a saving Of at least $1.500 for the
year. 1t may possibly put little ex-
ira labor on some OF the teachers dur
ing about four months of the school
term when the attendance is largest.
1t will, however, in no wise affect
the efficiency of the schools. The
reduction of the force Of teachers
was necessiated by the absolute ne
cessity for a reduction of expenses,
and not because of any dissatisfac-
ton whatever with the work of the
teachers who have been dropped.
The Board would have been glad to
have retained every one Of them, had
not the question of retrenchment
been forced upon them.

Boys will bath no matter what Or
dinances are framed OF what restric-
tions are placed upon them. This
has been demonstrated time and
again, and he who undertakes to
prevent it will discover that it is an
utter impossibility--a forlorn hope.
Bathing, if INDUCED in in a cautious
manner and some heed taken, is re-
freshing and exhilarating and con
ductive of much good, but when
bathing is INDUCED in too much, the
person pays the consequence. Cold
water baths are highly beneficial and
recommended by the medical frater-
nifty, but like all things in life can be
carried to extremes. Parents already
are loud with complaints of their
sons staying too long in the water,
and if boys would consider the dam
ger they undergo in prolonging their
stay in the water they would act a
little more ju~dicious. But then who
ever heard of a boy acting judicious
in bathing and base ball? Bathing in
the Tuscarora between sunrise and
sunset is prohibited and efforts will
be made, if the practice is not stop
ped, to arrest some of the offenders,
by people residing along the stream.

An Error.

We have received from Messrs. g. p.
Rowell q Go the great American Ad-
vertising firm, their book, comprising
q complete list of American newspa-
pers, and the population and the loca-
ton of the town in which they are pub
lished. 1t is a creditable work. but
contains an error which. needs correc-
ton so far as Martinsburg is concern
ed. In it the population of our town is
placed at 4 1853. 1t should be 800, or
yer a little nearer 7,000.-INDEPEN-
DENT.
For the whole county you mean,
neighbor. You know, including
Strinesville, and all other little ham,
lets, you can't scare up 5000 inhabi-
tants, and why will you persist in
misrepresenting things SO awfully.-
We think the same interrogatory
should be put to you that was pro-
pounded to the youthful Tarbox,
don't you know there isl hell ?'-
Hag. NeUs.
Well now, Adams, maybe you
know, but we were guided in the fig
ures by those who took the census of
the town in 1874. Probably they err
ed. You know the town all over
every corner of it, especially where a
drop of beer or a free quid o ftobacco
could be found. Between Rowell,
the INDEPENDENT and Adams
Adams is the most likely to know
best-When to take a drink.

flee of Presiding Judge to be one of
the most important ST all the offices

this position who is unworthy. |

Teachers.

There was considerable talk Mon
day pro and con relative to the ac-
ton of the Board of Education in re-
ducing the working force of teach
L We have not the last enumer-
alton of the youths of the town at
hand but, there will soon be a new
list and until that is obtained our
people can figure out just how the
children ought to get along with the
number of persons engaged in teach
ing. In the first place there will be
fifteen teachers in the public schools.
There are three teachers in the Cath
lie Parochial School, and seven or
eight in the two Female Colleges.

Fell Ofia Tree.

Mr.. y. j. Spencer, Sexton of the
Lutheran church, while engaged in
trimming the trees in front of the
church ON Monday, fell from one of
the trees and struck the ground with
considerable force, knocking him
s~enseless for flew moments. He was
picked up by some men standing near
and soon recovered himself. He sus-
tanned severe bruises about the back
and shoulders, but is not seriously
hurt.

work.

We noticed several farmers in
town Monday looking after harvest
hands. AS the street corners are
still well supplied with statuary it
would seem as if there should be but
little trouble to obtain hands. How
ever, some o fthem willnot work and
these lazy loafers should be marked
and be neither fed by their work
ing acquaintance nor trusted by the
merchants. There are plenty of
work for tramps and loafers now.
Let them do it or do without eating.

Another Jail EGscapade.

Three prisoners confined in the
county jail made good their escape
Saturday night during the preva.
lence of the rain and wind storm
They made their exit through the
window the bars of which had been
sawed into by Linield, who escaped
some time ago. The bars had been
mended, and were thought to be Sc
cure, but in this instance did not
prove so.

lutheran Centennial sermon.

The Rev. M. l.. Cutler, pastor of
the Lutheran church, preached a
Centennial sermon on Sunday to q
large and appreciative audience. The
Lutheran church organization Of this
place is now one hundred years old,
and the sermon of Rev. Mr.. Cutler
was devoted especially toa historical
review of the organization from its
birth to the present time. 1t was
highly interesting throughout, and
ELECTED profound attention on the
part of the crowded audience. The
sermon ought to be published in
pamphlet form, as it contains much
that is interesting to the general pub
lie.

Frederick G.. Prince, Secretary of
the Democratic National Commit
tee, arrived at st. Louis on Saturday
and will act with the local commit
tees in p~erfecting arrangements for
the National Convention.
The report that the House Com
mittee on Territories has reconsid-
cred its favorable action on the Sen
ate bill for the admission of New
Mexico is denied. The election for
the ratification of the State Consti-
tuition will not take place until JAN
uary.
The attendance at the centennial
exhibition Saturday was very large,
and the attendance in Machinery
Hall and the art department unusu-
ally so. The Boston quartette club
gave a concert in the Massachusetts
building TO the centennial commits,
sion, foreign commissioners, and
other prominent persons. The chimes
were rung in honor of the battle of
Bunker Hill. Dom Pedro will de-
vote the most of next week, it is said,
to the machinery department.
A mass meeting of the indepen-
dent labor party was held at Cooper
institute, New York, Saturday,
evening. Peter Cooper was presi-
dent, Sidney Myers, of Chicago, was
the speaker of the evening. He
found fault with all the present
political parties and said that all the
heads of departments should be
elected by the people, and also that
the contract system should be abol-
ished in favor of the workingmen.
Such laws he said would bring back
the original prosperity of the coun-
try.
On the the next Presidential cleo
ton, which will take place on the
same day in all the different states
in the Union, seven of the states will
hold elections for state officers In
September, Arkansas, Vermont and
Maine; and in October, Ohio, Indi-
ana, West Virginia and Georgia.

E0noak Female Examination.
SECOND DAY


The examinations at Lonoak Fe-
male College were resumed on Thurs
day, in presence of quite a large mum
Der of friends and patrons of the in
stitution-among them, Blackburn
Hughes, J. S. Haldeman, l.. M.
Shaffer, w. II. Fiske, G.. w. Ia
bier, Rev. L. c. Miller and others.
The following classes were called in
order
1st-Atmosphere and Phenomena
Electricity-Animal and Mineral
Kingdoms.
2nd-Latin.
3rd-English Grammar.
4th-Algebra.
The examination in all the elias ses
was thorough and highly interesting,
and they all stood f~irst-class in their
answers. The Grammar and Latin
class especially, showed great pro-
fciency. At the conclusion of the
days examination, J. S. Haldeman,
and Blackburn Hughes, Esqs., made
addresses couched in the strongest
language Of commendation, and
their remarks were fully concurred
in by all present.
THIRD DAY.
The interest of the eXami nation
was kept up throughout. The at
tendance Friday were quite as large
as on the previous days. Among the
visitors were Elias Walker County
Superintendent of Public Schools and
the Rev. Mr.. Cornelius.
The following classes were exam
ined :
French.
English Composition.
Moral Science.
Arithmetical Glasses.
The examination in all these
classes gave the most perfect salts
faction. The class in English Com
position especially, were thoroughly
up in their studies and gave ready
and correct answers to all questions
propounded. The class in French
seemed to know all about the study.
We say seemed because we could
not judge from u own knowl-
edge. One noticeable feature
of the examination is that a
foundation is being laid by the Prin-
cipal and teachers, in the course
prescribed, for a love of literature
The pupils are having a taste formed
for those sentiments ,pieces and books
that treat of the useful, the true and
the beautiful.
Another noticeable feature is the
breadth of culture that the pupils re-
ceive. 1t was evident to all that
great care is exercised over their hab-
its, and that the rough corners are
broken off that cause so much fric-
ton in society; but reference is par
ticularly meant to the steady aim of
all the departments to awaken
thought in the pupils.
AT the close of the examinations,
addresses We're made by K. M. Wal
ker and l.. M. Shaffer, Esqs., each
of whom spoke in the highest praise
of the handsome manner in which
the pupils had acquitted themselves.
LOnoak College is a credit to our
town and county, and its excellent
Principal and efficient corps of teach
ers should receive the encouragement
which their talents and energy de-
serve. REPORTER.

started out to visit the Pearl of the
Park" and the "Narrows.' Our
route lay along the many little
streams of crystal water traversing
theParkeverywhere, and which are
spaned here there and every
where SO frequently with neat lit
It's rustic bridges. Notable among
these is one in the form of a beau
tiful arch, known as "Cook's
Bridge, $50 called from the circum-
stance that it crosses the stream
just at the point where "Cook,''of
John Brown notoriety was captur-
ed by Logan. Along the entire
route are rustic seats cottages, or
centennial tables erected at con-
venient distances for the comfort
Of the wearied and tired excursion
lists.
Placards are displayed every
where along the way naming and
pointing out the routes to the
many places of interest, viz: Pearl
of the Park, Twin Springs, Messy
Spring, Birch Spring, The
Twins this is a natural curiosity,
a large pine and birch tree grow
ing together apparently springing
and proceeding from the same
root Fiddler's Glen, Laurel Re-
treat, g., &c. 1t is impossible to
enumerate them all. Enough to
say that the scenery is varied, pic
teresque and grand in extreme,
and the whole may well be styled
land especially by those who visit
and are matrimonially inclined,)
a Lovers retreat, and / have no
doubt that many who visited it
are willing to affirm that it is the
grandest and most delightful
trysting place on earth. 1t was
impossible during our ten hours
stay to go over the entire ground.
This trip concluded we returned
once more to the main grounds,
where we had supper, and at $50
we started for home. Before
leaving the grounds, however, we
had the pleasure of meeting Mr..
Gardner, one of the gentlemanly
officials of the C. V. Railroad, who
expressed the desire that the Sir
Knights of Palestine Commandery
No. z, of our city, make an excur-
sion to Mt Alto sometime during
the summer, accompanied by their
ladies, remarking that he has no
doubt that the Sir Knights of
Chambersburg would be glad to
join them, and endeavor to make
the day one so exceedingly pleas
ant that it would never be forgot
ten.
Arriving at Chambersburg Capt.
Ed. w. Burns, one of our party,
took charge of the train and con-
Quoted us safely home once more,
arriving here at 900, though tired,
pleased in every sense of the word.
In conclusion we would say for
Mt. Alto Park that it is just the
place for excursionists from this
part of the valley who desire to
have a good time. The scenery,
perhaps, is not SO bold as some
other places, nevertheless, it is
varied and interesting, and | have
no doubt but that in a very short
time under the management of
Col. w. it will be a successful rival
of Watkins Glen and other noted
resorts.
To that estimable gentleman we
once more return our thanks for
the kind and hospitable manner
with which he treated us and for
the many courtesies he extended,
and trust, should fortune favor
US with another visit to Mt. Alto
Park. we shall be more fortunate
than on this occasion, namely, his
acquaintance. ~
