not interest the readers of your popular
sheet as much as the report Of similar

good results, they certainly are a means

to forward a synopsis to encourage the

to at once organize an association Of
similar character to improve their
precious youthful hours, when the

thereby grow up useful and intelligent

Anniversary Celebration.

On Saturday evening, the Schencks-
vile Literary Society, in Lehigh county,
held their fifth anniversary in the Union
church basement, at Unionville, in the
lately erected capaeious and handsome
religious edlfice. The audience was a
large one, numbering 700 auditors.
The exercises onsisted of essays, ora
tIons, declamations, vocal and instru-
mental music.
Rev. Renninger opened with q suit
able paper. The salutatOry oration,
welcoming the attentive listeners, fol-
lowed by Mr.. M. II. DeibeTt. The first
essay, we'll worded, was read by Miss
e. Wotring, on "The Pleasures OF
knowledge" Mr.. A. Rupp brought
out some good hints on "Home Gull
ture." "The Importance Of a well
spent Life," was the subject of the next
ladies essay. A laughable declama-
tion on " Es Fahre in der Train,' by
Mr.. r. d. Motring, broke the monot
ony of the audience. The Schencks
vile Eulogium Song deserves special
praise for the tact displayed in the sew
enteen stanzas, the number Of the mem
bers. A fitting tribute was found fol
each member. The two Misses Peters
received the warmest congratulations
for their soft and sweet singing, anC
for their bold carriage before the audi
ence, Mr.. f. N. Peters was also lis

For Cash after April 1st.

By reference to the advertisement Of
T. d. Clauss, the merchant tailor, of
this town, 1t will be seen that he is
now receiving his usual stock Of spring
and summer styles of cloths, cassimeres
and ,estings, and that he has resolved
after April 1st to do business on a
strictly cash principle, and for that
reason has made reduction in his
prices, so that he will be able to offer
to his customers clothing, hats, caps,
boots, shoes, and gents furnishing
goods at prices fully as low as the same
quality of goods can be purchased in
the cities. He trusts that the adoption
of the cash system will meet with the
appreciation of his customers, as he
feels confident that under this system
ne can furnish them with any article in
his line far more satisfactorily than
he could furnish under the "played
out " credit system. He respectfully
invites an inspection Of his stock and a
comparison OF prices.

/" They Say SO.O

Mr.. George II. Pendleton testified
before the House Committee on Expen-
ditures in the War Department Tues
day, regarding his connection with the
Kentucky Central Railroad. He said
/ that the company paid him 80 per cent.
of the amount received by it through
his agency for transportation services,
and he also received sl5, 900 additional
for collecting the claim. He never paid
one dollar to any person connected with
the government, or to any member OF
General Belknap's family. Neither
Mrs. Marsh nor Mrs. Bowers travelled
with him and his family In Europe, nor
did he meet Mr.. Clymer in Europe, and
the published statement that he had a
private conversation with any member
of the committee before testlfying was
infamously false. General IL. V. Boyn'
ton was also examined as to the state
ments furnished by him to the New
York Herald and other papers regard
ing the alleged payment OF money by
Mr.. Pendeton to Mrs. Belknap; the
travel ling together in Europe OF Mr.
Clymer, Mr.. Pendleton, Mr.. and Mrs.
Marsh, and Mrs. Bowers, afterwards
Mrs. Belknap; and the recent refusal
of Mr.. Clymer to receive the testimony
of Mrs. Marsh against Pendleton. 1t
appears from Boynton's testimony that
he learned the story from ex.Con-
gresham jeremiah NJ. Wilson, who re.
ferred him to ex-Congressman Shella-
berger, who referred him to Colonel b.
F. Grafton, who gave as his authority
for the story General Kiddoo of the
United States army. Witness never
had any communication with Kiddoo
personally, and did not know the facts
except by hearsay, but he " wrote up"
the story, and manifolded 1t, giving
copies to the correspondents: of the
New York Herald, Boston Journal and
Chicago Tribune.
