"INorth ToWanda against the world" was

very enjoyable and pleasant evenings enter
tainmcnt at the hospitabe residence Of G. b.
MILLS, Esq, last evening. 1t was the regu-
lar meeting night Of Oscaluwa Grange, and
when the business had proceeded to Good
of the Order" Brother MILLS invited all the
members to repair to his house. There were
no excuses or regrets; no necessity for"com
peling" amy to come, and when "thc door
was shut after the arrival of the guests, Mrs.
M. found it necessary to lay about forty
plates for her company. No subject sug-
gested under the head of good of the Order"
ever received SO thorough and satisfactory dis
cusson as did the bountiful supply of good
things set before the members on this occasion.
After the supper had been disposed Of came
the ''feast Of reason and flow Of SOUL" in
which the younger members of the Order par
ticipated. The recitation of the Questionable

MILLS and DORA HoLLoN. were admirably
executed, and attentively listenedto. WILLIS
and FRED MILLS, and Mr.. T.. BADGER also
favored the company with recitatiOnS.
If the grange has accomplished no other
gsod, it has been the means of begctting and
fostering Il refined social sentiment i'll North
Towanda seldom experienced in rural dis
tricts. The gathering last evening will long
be cherished as one of the peasantcst meet
ings OscaluWa has enjoyed.

ana sea- are ready to bear testimony TO it's great value.
Inc public press of the country devotes its attention to
general SUBJECTS only touches occasionally upon topics
connected with Soldiers and Sailors rights and interests
wme HE TRIBUNE makes of those topics specidlty 1t
VIII not permit National Legislature and the people
or the country to forget to whom the Nation is indebted

opportunity promptly to know all that is going on favor

A Warning.

To all pensioners and claimants of pension we
say very plainly and very earnestly that your repu-
tation is slandered by the gross assertion of the
Commissioner that your security in the enjoyment
of what you already have is imperilled, that your
hopes of obtaining justice in the future are likely to
be destroyed by the urgency and the insidiousness
with which he is now pressing upon Congress his
bill known as Senate bill No. 496 If you believe
this measure to be dangerous to you, If you think
it ought not to pass and become law, you must so
inform your Representatives and Senators, and do
it without delay for the bill will be pressed immedi-
ately after the holidays. Act on your own judg-
ment, but act at once.
The National tribune., 1880-12-01
The Senate for Popular Education.

It is especially gratifying for to note that the
Senate of the United States has recently expressed
by an overwhelming vote its readiness to sustain
the cause of popular education There was no party
feeling manifested in relation to the subject North
ern, Southern and Western Senators We'd with
each other in support of the good cause. The bill
as it passed said body gives the proceeds of the sales
OF the public lands and the surplus funds which
may accumulate at the Patent Office for educato al
purposes to be divided among the several States
according to stpulations mentioned in the BILL The
Southern Senators favored the measure even
strenuously than those from other parts Of the Ma
ton, and this is not surprising, for there is i'm
perative necessity that the freedmen now citizens
and voters should at least have the benefits of a
common-school education We sincerely hope that
the House may speedily take up the bill and pass it
without material alteration. If we are to be free
people we must be intelligent people, and every
voter in the land should understand the principles
on which the security of his rights depend 1t is
indeed lamentable to think there are now hundreds
OF thousands of voters who can neither read nor
write. Speed on the noble, patriotic work, Messrs
Representatives

Meaning of the term Manuel Labor as applied
In the administration of the Pension Laws


Inc term manual is defined by Webster as follows
Fertalnng to the hand performed by the hand''
Inc Following may serve to show what ia our iudg-
hent Is meant py the term manual labor as used in
the administration of the Pension laws /:
One who is physically ncapacitated for the
OF only cne-half the labor of sound abe-bodied man
on farm, or as carpenter, brckayer Blacksmith or
laoorer DC, is one-half disabled for manual labor or
one VINO Is compelled to lose half of his time on ac
count Of has disability Such an one NAV he nbvscall
able to preach practice law medicine or perform the
duties o oookkeeper salesman, agent and yet he
regarded as only half man $50 to spea by reason of
usa1y incurred IN service and in line of duty he is
entitled to half pension being disabled for
labor. ~ A1A
There are exsoders and sailors in this city reee
ing hlgn salaries from the Government, as clerks en-
gravers, &C., who receive S24 month pension They
actually perform manual labor requiring education and
ss yet in the face of the construction placed by the
Government on the law granting $24 month in cases
wnere the applicant pensoner is ohoy icapacitasd
tor t@e performances Of ag manual labor they receive
that allowance.
IL IS dincut to answer your inquiries clearly owing to
tne apparent inconsistency of the action of the Pension
hce with its construction Of the las but we are Of opinion
.nat the foregoing will convey pretty fair idea Of what
is meant by the term manua1 labor az applied in tf
administration of the Pension laws.

Equalization Of Bounties.

There no doubt but that the bill to equaze the bou-
ties OF soldiers in service of the United States during the
late will be brought before Congress it's present
sion The Government was never in better shape than
now to meet the exgencies of such BILL and bill ever
came before that body with greater demands for hear
ing. Of this bin, Senator Oliver p Morton Indiara's
great and ever-memorable War Governor said in his
great speech on the subject
Mr. President, justice to the soldiers cannot always
be deferred It must and will triumph time If it
does not come this Congress- it win come at some other
Congress 1t is part OF the debt much as s. 90

titled to it, The Justice of ii dispute, and

The conclusion of every intelligent, patriotic citizen
