NrrrLIsrowS, Apr, 20, 1873.

Es,ter Ssnfi~sl-DEAR sn: On Friday
evening last haG the pleasure, in company
with the genial Couriy superintedeni, OF
visiting the Pine Grove Literary Society in
Bsale township.
At an early hour the school house was
crowded by 3 very respectable and attentive
audience. The society was called TO order
by the pre- ID ent, Mr.. D. B. HcWiIlIsms.-
After roll call and reading of minutes the
programme was taken up Some excellent
music and : few declan atoms followed, af-
ter which . debate, the great event Of the
evening Was announced.
The question was, Resolved, That the
County Superintendency is indispensable to
the success of the Common Schools.
The first debater on the affirmative Was
Mr.. Robert Clark, an active teacher Of Beale
township. His arguments were read from
manuscript and, Is consequence, were not
90 well delivered as ifthey had beeu spoken
without. However, there were many solid
and indissuta arguments given in favor
of the Superi--endency,
lie was followed by Mr. d. b. McWilliams
in the negative. who gave many reasons for
Why the Superintendency should be abol-
ished, not the least Of which was that their
election is sometimes controlled by politics.
His hits at the different Superintendent Of
the county were humorous and enjoyable.
MrJ. P. Sterrett, on the affirmative, an
swered the arguments of the former speak
Or, and upheld the cause of the superin-
tendency with considerable zeal.
But Squire Reed made the speech OF the
evening, in a manner that showed how un-
terrified he was at the weighty Arguments Of
the Affirmative. He commenced by saying
that the arguments Of the other side remind
I'd him of what an old lady once said OF her
old calico dress. 1t was beautiful for ng-
ures and variety, but rsry fhin." This was
followed by roar of laughter, which greet
ed him again and again, ss he continuso
With great gravity and caustic hunsr to at
tasi the Saperintendency. declaring il en-
timely unnecessary.

Going Courting.


'One of the chief compensations of a
woman's life is found in The fact that she
DON'T have to ego courting." 1t must be
confessed that in these days the modern
belle does her share of the wooing; but she
does not have to dress up in stiff collar
and pair of boots & size TOO small for her
and walk up to the cannon's mouth of her
inamorata's family, consisting of father,
mother, grandmother, a maiden aunt and
perhaps dozen brothers and sisters, and
inquire, in trembling voice:
els Miss Arabella at home p,
Whcnerer:a man goes a courting every
body seems to know all about it. His de-
meanor tells the observant spectator the bu-
siness he Is intent upon. He might as well
placard himself, "rm going counting %
Everybody is coenizant of it, and looks
knowingly, and asks him if the "Northern
lights were bright last night about one
O'Clock, aud how the market is for kerosene
at Daddy Brown's," and a score of other
questions out Of place.
We know young man who is deeply and
we trust successfully engaged in going
counting, and our warmest sympathies have
been extended toward him. When Sunday
afternoon arrives 1t is plain that something
IS about to happen. He is fidgetty and non-
communicative, and cannot SIT in one place
half minute at a time. He is continually
interviewing his watch ard comp arIns it
with the old eight-day, cGfiin-shaped clock
in the corner. He looks in the glass fire.
queutly, and draws his forward locks back
and then forward, and combs them up and
pats them down, and is unsat;sfied with the
effect throughout.
The smell OF bay rum and bcrgamot is
apparent. When he shakes his handker-
chief, musk is pereeptible. His boots shine
like mirrors, and there is q faint smell of
cardamon seeds in his breath when be
yawns. He smooths his budding nustache
with affectionate pats, and feel his invisible
side whIskers continually to make sure they
are there, fact which is not established to
outside observers by sense Of sight. He
tries on his neckties without finding just the
thing he wants. Then he has spasms of
brushing his coat that commence with vio-
lence and last until one grows nervous for
fear the broad cloth will not be able to stand
tie friction.
He declines soup that day for dinner. He
says it Is because be is not hungry, but we
know il is because there are onions in it,
and onions, as every one knows, do not
sweeten ones breath to any great extent.
If spoken to suddenly he starts and
blu.hes and looks as guilty as if he were
stealing something, and directly If one does
not speak to HIM be goes back TO the de-
ightful occupation of staring at nothing,
and waiting for the hour to creep around
to seven"

Zion. Lewis Burch1eid, of Milford town.
ship' on the occasion Of the 10th anniver-

surprised cy a visit from his surviving
children with their wives and husbands.)

deposited at his door, be took il as no more
than an ordinary visit, bnt .hen still other

cert of action, and exhibited the emotion
naturai-st this evidence Of filial remem-
brance.
Aitefcongratulations and wishes tor many
returls of the happy occasion, a couple of
hours we're pleasantly spent in conversation,
interspersed with music, when the party
sat down to and did justice to bountiful
dinner, for which preparations had been
quietly made.
The afternoon passed all too quickly in
The same pleasant manner as the previous
hours, aud at tea he was made the recipient
OF rustic rocking chair, accompanied BY
cushion, foot stool and pipe to add to the
comfort Of his future.
Mr.. Burchfield was united in marriage
early in life to jane, daughter of Patrick
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS nearly on the spot
where his present house stands-and to-
gether for nearly 40 years they trod the
pathway OF life when death took her from
his side.
So patient, SO faithful, so kindly, SO careful.
So quietly keeping her soul.
The angels Of blessing with tender caressing
Around her in benison stole.
With sweet bcnedictions the memory fingers
O'er love that vas fine as the dew,
The wife aud the mother no green mold can
cover,
Or bury a friendship so true.

whom are dead ard seven living. Lizzie,

years, and his mother TO the age OF "a, and
of his brothers aud sisters but two survive,
one older, Sarah, wife of Samuel McWn
liams, Esq, of Pine Grove, Centre county,
Pa, and one younger, Hannah, wife Of John
Harris, ESQ, of Beale township.
In the evening hour when each took leave
and departed for their own home, one united
sentiment prevailed that nowhere could the
hours be spent so pleasantly and protitably
as in the s'Old House at Home" Fills.

Simple Remedy for Diphtheria.

A few years ago, when diphtheria was ra-
ging in England, a gentleman accompanied
the celebrated DR.. Field on his rounds to
witness the so-called "wonderful cures"
which he performed, while the patients Of
others were dropping on all sides. The
remedy, to be so rapid, must be simple. All
he took with him was powder of sulphur
and quill, and with these he cured every
patient without exception. He put tsa-
spoonful of -four Of birthstone into q wine
glass Of water, and stirred IT with bis fin-
gers, instead of a spoon, as the sulphur
does not readily amalgamate with water.
When the sulphur was well mixed he gave
il as a gargle, and in ten minutes the pa
tient was out OF danger. Birthstone kills
every species of fungus in man, beast and
plants in few minutes. Instead of splitting
out the gargle, he recommended the swal-
lewIng of it. In extreme cases, in which
he had been called just in the nick of time,
when the fungus was too nearly closing to
allow the garg:ing, he blew the sulphur
through . quill into the throat, and after
the fungus had si-unk to allow il, then the
eargling. He never lost a patient from dip
iberia. If patient cannot gargle, take
live coal, put it on shovel and sprinkle
spoonful or two of -four of birthstone at
time upon 1t, let the sufe,er inhale il, hold
ing tie head over It, and the fungus will
die.
