The Camp Meeting.

The committee appointed to locate
the grounds for the Free Methodist
Camp Meeting was here on Thursday
last looking over the field. The gen.
tlemen composing the committee were
Messrs. Lewis Keister, u. B. Tobey
and Rev. j. Barnhart. 1t was at first
proposed to hold the meeting in the
grove back of the Court Hou Sc, but
the ground there was found to be too
steep, and they selected spot back Of
Mr.. SCOTS residence, better known as
the VIM. Dimond house above Race
street. This will make very pleasant
place, it being large grove, and we'll
shaded. Rev. Jeremiah Barnhart has
made arrangements whereby he can
furnish the Rochester tents at a cost
Of but three or four dollars during the
meeting. These tents can be had
either IA 10 or II II, and those
wishing them must send their order;
to Rev. Barnhart at East Hickory
Pa, before the 25th of June. The
Free Methodist brethern extend q
cordial invitation to all who wish tc
tent with them, aud assist them in
their efforts to do good and make the
meeting success.

The preliminary survey of the
projected extension of the E. S, & G.
and f. st. p. e. G. railroads from Ship.
penville to Bradford, was completed
last week. The new road will be
known as the Foxburg, Kane 81
Bradford Railroad. The distance
from Shippenville is about sixty miles.
The engineers have found route of
easy grade, and one that can be built
cheaply. Chief Engineer, b. i. Cut
Ter, is now in Foxburg preparing the
report of the same. The Directors
will meet this week, when they will be
likely to conclude on some definite
action. We have good reason to
believe that the road will be built
without delay Clarion Republican,

Mr.. II. Morris, the popular

or Minnie Warren. She is an expert
with the needle, runs the sewing ma
chine (her father having one made to
order for her size) and does the family
sewing. OF late she has been doing the
shopping, and the story is told that she
recently dropped in at dry.goods store
In Pottstown and began to make her
purchases of a new clerk, who, not
suspecting her age or means, and taking
her for a child, after measuring off piece
after piece, became uneasy lest he was
being duped by little girl who did not
know what she was doing, and to ask
her to show him her money, TO see If she
had money enough to pay for what she
bought. She told him she had enongh,
and the clerk has since learned that the
little girl is desirable customer.
While she is modest and retiring in
her disposition and does not court
notoriety, yet she has nerve enough to
demand her rights. A short time ago,
being on visit to Pottstown, she re-
turned home in the evening train. Her
ticket was to Saratoga Station, which is
near her fathers house, but the conduc-
tor neglected to stop the train and took
her along to Limerick. Here as 1t was
now dark, she refused to leave the car,
but insisted that the conductor must
either run the train back to Saratoga or
hire carriage and send her back. The
conductor, seeing that he was "under
the hay" hired a carriage and sent the
little lady to her home.
Her father has often been asked to let
her travel with Snowman but has
always refused, as he does not, he says,
need the mouey. Indeed, Eliza does
not wish to go from home, and though
formerly she could be coaxed away for a
few days or week to visit friends, of
late she becomes homesick if away from
home but short time.

THE DEFEATED TORIES.

IN THE year 1777 Philadelphia was in
i the hands of Howe and his inhu-
man soldiery, while the fields of Bran
dywine gave the American people an
evidence of British humanity.
The people of Pennsylvania and Del
aware were at the mercy of their foes.-
Bands OF Hessian dragons secuted the
vicinity of Philadelphia for miles
around, and committed acts that would
have disgraced vandal.
On the evening of delightful au-
tumn day a group of boys, ranging in
age from twelve to seventeen years, were
gathered together on the steps of ten
antless store-house in the village of
Newark, Delaware. The town seemed
lonely, and with the exception of the
youthful band referred to, not human
being met the eye. All men capable of
bearing arms had left their homes to
join the army of Washington, on the
Schuylkill.
A young lad of sixteen stood on
barrel and was giving an account of the
battle of Brandywine. James Wilson,
the orator, was boy enthusiastic in
his love for the American cause, and
possessed of no little intelligence. His
blue eyes and flaxen hair gave him an
effeminate appearance, but beneath his
homespun jacket throbbed heart that
never shrank before an obstacle.
His father was commander of the Del.
aware troops and his mother was dead.
The boy concluded his narrative, and
was lamenting that he could not Join the
army.

here, with my hands uselessly by NV

campaign. Frank fell in the memora-
BILE battle of Eutaw Spring bewailed
by all who knew him. James lost O

The village of Newark still stands, and
has become a town of celebrity. The
scene of the defeat of the British by the
boy patriots is still pointed out, and is a
sacred spot in the annals of Newark.

III I AS night, jist as de ole woman
- was grindin' up de butcher-knife
to cut her corns, dar cum knock on de
doah, " begin the President of the Lime
Kiln Club as Paradise Hall grew quiet.
" 1t was de ole man Mosber, an could
see right awdy dat he didn't feel in
whoopin' speerits. L reckon you all
knows he am hard workin' an honest.
Well, he was ober dar to see about his
son Hunyadus. Dat Hunyadus am q
powerful bad boy, an knows 1t, an de
ole man he sat down an tole me dat de
day had arrove when he could no longer
control de boy. Yes, he sot dar on de
aige of de wood axe an cried like chile
cause dat Hunyadus had come home
an cussed aroun', an axed for money,
an he clar'd he'd bust de hull family or
hev 1t. / axed him how ole de boy was,
an he wiped his nose an he wiped his
nose an he said sixteen. L axed him
how much de boy weighed, an he look
ed up at de ceilin' an said about a
hundred an twenty. Den 1 pushed de
tea-kettle furder back ON de stove an L
went for de ole man like steamboat
'sploshun. De ideah of boy like dat
runnin' de house made me mad all de
wap up an down, an I tole Mosher If
he didn't go hum an flop dat Hunya-
dus outer his butes an den mop him
aroun' till he cried quits, dat he mus
nebber darken my gate agin. He got
up an he went, an L was clus behind
him. Dat boy was still in de house,
bluf1in' de ole woman aroun' and kick
in do dog under de stove, an de oppor-
tunity was all dat could be axed fur.
De ole man den bounced in, waltzed up
to de wayward chile, and de way he
made de fur fly tickled me all ober.
When left de winder Hunyadus was
wipin' de tears away wild one han an
eatin' cold pancakes wild de odder, an
de old man had such smile as hewitt
seen on his face for ober seven years."
After the applause had subsidized the
President continued: " Treat your boys

More Curious than Useful.

1t is often desirable to know on what
day of the week certain date falls
We find a method suggested by cor
respondent of the London Times, which
we publish for the curious rather than
for the practical
The following old couplet, committed
to memory, affords an easy rule for as
certaing without reference to an almanac
on what day Of the month day will
fall:
'At Dover DweIs George Brown Esquire
Good Christian Friend, and David Friar."
Explanation.-Th couplet contains
twelve words, one. for each month in
order, beginning in January. The ini-
tial letter of each word corresponds
with the letter in the calendar for the
first of the month represented by the
word. The key to the use of the rule Is
the knowledge for the Sunday letter Of
the year, which this year is E.
Example l. = On what day of the
week did March 16 fall this year 7
Answer, the first letter of 'Dw9lIs. ,
stands for March /. But ID is the letter
or day before E-that is, ID, the 1st OF
March, was Saturday. The calcula-
ton is instantaneous that March 16 was
the third Saturday in the month.
Example 2.-On what day of the week
did December 8 fall 2 Fis December L.
But + is the day after Ell. e., Mon
day; therefore December will be on a
Wednesday.

A Minister Wanted.

The following anecdote is old but
good, and many of the present genera
ton have not seen it:
The people in one of the out t-parishes
of Virginia wrote to DIR. John Holt
Rice, who was then at the head of the
theological seminary in Prince Edward,
for minister. They said they wanted
man of first-rate talents, for they had
run down considerably, and needed
building up. They wanted one who would
write well, for some of the young people
were very nice about that matter. They
wanted one who could Visit good deal,
for their former minister had neglected
that, and they wanted 10 bring that UP.
Thay wanted man of very gentleman
ly department. And so they went on,
describing perfect minister. The last
thing they mentioned was, they gave
their last minister $3.50 but II the Doc
tor would send them such man as they
described, they would raise another fifty
dollars, making it four hundred dollars.
The Doctor sat right down and wrote
them a reply, telling them they had bet
ter forth with make out call for old
DIR. Dwight, in heaven for he did not
know of any one in this world who
answered this description; and as DIR.
Dwight had been living so long on
spiritual food, he might not need so
much for the body, and possibly might
live ON S400.-N. Y Observer.

A POttstOwn LIIIputian.

THERE is now living near Pottstown
L in this State young lady, Miss
Eliza Schwenk by name, who, though
30 years of age, yet is but three feet one
inch in height and weighs only forty
pounds. Her father is well-to-do far
mer and has three other children-one
son and two daughters-all of full size,
as are also both of the little lady's par
ents and all her relations. 1t is, how
ever, In no sense a case of deformity.
Her face is round, plump and pleasing,
and her figure is well proportioned and
symmetrical throughout. She has always
been blessed with good health, and until
she was. four years old grew like other
children, and had attained a stature Of
thirty-seven inches, but, like "Grand-
fathers Clock" she then "stopped
short, never to grow again." Since
then not an inch has been added to her
stature. She remains the little girl of
four or five years except that now her
face begins to show some signs of age
gradually creeping over it. So long as
she wore short dresses, which was until
about two years ago, she attracted but
little attention from strangers, as her
age was not suspected, but since she
has donned the robes of ladies of her
age, people stop to gaze after this Lilipu-
tian as they would after Tom Thumb

OH, DEATH

Take thy shadow from my threshold.
oh thou dweller in the night;
Standing right across my doorway,
sshuttin out the morning light.
Thou hast been here in the autumn,
And hast taken all thy sheaves,
It is not time to gather
The blossoms and the leaves.
Oh, press not In so closely
To the baby at my breast,
Wouldst thou take the tender nursling
From the shelter of its nest
Oh, child, he is no playmate
For such one as thee;
He smiles, and stretches toward him
What can the baby see
All close behind the shadow
He sees the angels wait,
And wide the leaves unfolding
OF that pretty heavenly gate,
And he seeth one who beckoneth,
Poor heart, couldst thou but see
These golden gates unfolding
And thy lost ones waiting thee.
Yet colder falls the twilight,
And the children crouch behind,
AS the garments past them rustllng
Sweep like the winter wind.
But the baby smiles and watcheth,
And when the night grows dim
There will be an empty cradle
And breaking heart for him.

We acknowledge the receipt Of COM
plimentary ticket to the twenty-fourth an
nual fair of the Union County Agricultural
Association, to be held IN Jonesboro on the
9th. 10th of September. Year by year these
fairs have improved until of late they take
rank with any held outside Of the large
cities and more populcus counties OF the
north. They attract visitors and exhibitors
from all parts Of Southern Illinois and the
neighboring portions of Missouri and Ken
lucky, and as Alexander and Pulaski coun-
ties are without fair associations the resi-
dents of these counties should avail them
selves Of the opportunities afforded by our
Union county neighbors, to exhibit their
achievements in the mechanic or fine arts,
or in the pursuits Of agriculture or stock
raising. Many Of the farmers and fruit
growers of Pulaski county have already
done so, and there is no reason why many
more, with scores of our own people, may
not be present this year, with profit to
themselves, if not to the advantage of our
neiohbors.
