EVENINGS AT HoME.-When the even
ing lamps are lighted, says an exchange,
the children now gather with school
books around the table to con the NOR
rows lessons. To many of them the
tasks assigned seem dreary and hope
less; definitions are hard to remember !;
the geography lesson is difficult to COM
prehend and won't stay fixed in the
mind history is dull and dead, arith-
metic hopeless tangle of figures, and
grammar more puzzling than any posi-
BILE conundrum. The little folk need
help; they need cheer and encourage
ment, and who should be so ready, so
willing, SO able to give it as the parent ?
Even if the parents education is imper-
feet. he will bring to the .comPrehe---;;yss..
of the lesson in hand a wider range of
knowledge and broader manner of look
ing at things than the child can do, and
thus greatly aid in the clear comprehen-
sion of the lesson to be learned.

LETTER FROM NEW YORK..
Special Correspondence.
New YORK, March 26, 1877

NEW lOhh, MdTcu 20, lOf &.
Our latest wonder is the sudden dis
appearance and mysterious absence of A.
Oakley Hall, whom most of your readers
know by name if nothing more. He was
Mayor CT the city during the days of
the Ring, and was the only prominent
member of the city government of that
time who was able to vindicate himself
from the charges of fraud and theft un-
der which all his associates went down.
Since the close of his official term Mr..
Hall has been one of the most successful
lawyers in New York. Always devoted
to the dramatic art and profession, he
one year ago joined the ranks as drama
fist and actor, appearing at the Park
Theatre as the principal character in his
own play of "The Crucible.' This step
of the ex- Mayor created wide sensa-
ton, and his debut was witnessed by
the most brilliant audience the building
had ever held. Two weeks of acting con-
vinced him that he was neither Booth,
Forrest, or Jefferson, and renouncing
the stage as suddenly as he had adopted
it, he returned to his law practice which
he seems now SO strangely to have de-
serted.
For week no tidings of the missing
man have been received and the discus
sion of various theories of his disappear
ance has become part of New York's
daily business. 1t is thought by few
that Mr.. Halls vanishing may be in
some way connected with the recent ar
rival of Sweeny from Europe; the theo-
ry being that he does not wish to get
mixed up in the scandals which the lat
ter's trial is sure to revive. This, how
ever. is improbable as he himself had
been acquitted of completely long ago.
Hints of murder or suicide are also free.

ing better than wild rumor offered II
explanation of the mystery.
1t seems little rough in these hare
times when money is such difficult

time when there was so much counter
felt U. S. currency afoat in the smalle
denominations as at present. And no
only the bad halves, quarters and dime

, poor newspaper men the most is tn
counterfeit 81, 900 bill which has recent

or four of them in his weeks wages,
really cripples him good deal-make
him wear his old hat and smoke chea

The wealth of some dairying districts
is enormous. Herkimer, New York, is
said to ship annually over 100000
pounds of cheese, and 100000 pounds
of butter-worth $4,5OO,O0O. Little
Falls, N. Y, perhaps as much Sc Al
bans. U.-..s-hfps 100000 pounds of
cheese. 2.75O,00O pounds of butter,
worth in the market $l,250,O0O. The
village of Wellington, Ohio, shipped A.
100000 pounds of cheese in 1869, worth
100000. The products of the dairy
are sold for cash, and hence the returns
are quick. This industry enables the
manufacturer to reduce a large bulk of
food into. small compass, through the
two processes of feeding COWS and manu-
featuring the productions.

MAX ADELEE says 1--WE are sar-
prised to read in an exchange that
the corn of Mr. Redman of Lycoming
county, is seven feet high. We pity
Redman. We cannot imagine how
he gets bis boot on, over such a corn
as that, nor can we conceive how he
contrives to e'alk even when bare
footed. 1t is hardly likely, we should
think, that Rcdman himself is more
than six feet high, and if that is the
case, that solitary corn of his must
tower above his head. It might be a
good thing 20 tie an umbrella to, or
he might carry fiower-pot on lis
foot and have honeysuckle climbing
up the corn aud blossoming under his
nose"
