Col. Phillips delivered his able lecture on
Christian Civilization" before the Normal
Institute, at the Presby terrain church, last
Friday evening. Notwithstanding the exces-
sive heat there was quite good audience
present-at least very intelligent zone, and
they seemed to fully appreciate the very fine
thoughts advanced By the Colonel. The lee
ture is certainly entitled to a front rank among
the best. The music tor the occasion was fur
nished by part Of the church choir.
The age Of a man "a well as OF a horse is ap-
to be "deceiving." The subject Of our
sketch might have been so years old F.; he might
have been 40, or just half that age. He was
all the way from mississippi and the boys
called him Uncle" He soon became col
league OF John Baker, and they Travelled about
town raking in the soda water. at the expense
of the boys. The variety OF ages that co!ored

Mr.. buell. and his friends who took part in
the New Cambria and lrOn-Mound-school-
house road contest, feel aggrevied over some
remarks made concerning il by the New Cam
bria correspondent of last week. Ii Is our de-
sire to keep all matters Of q personal nature
from appearing In the JOURNAL, and we did
not fully appreciate the effect of what was said
in the New Cambria correspondence Of last
week. The charge that the men who worked
with Mr.. Buell. in the matter were "tramps,"
was Of course unjust; as some Of them are
among the very best citizens of that region.
Last Friday, upon trial before the Probate
Judge, Mrs. st. Peters and q young son were
found to be lunatics, and the report has been
sent to the Superintendent uf the Asylum at
1t will be remembered by our
readers that we gave few months ago an &C.
count Of the death by shooting of an older son
Of Mrs. st. Peters. 1t was not known at the
