DOVER, June 10th.
The Scott Literary Society of the
Wilmington Conference Academy met
Tuesday evening in the M. E. church.
Rev. Jacob Todd, Of Philadelphia, de.
livered very instructive and eloquent
lecture on, "What to read and how to
read it,"
When the pupils of the Academy
we're called together this afternoon at
II O'Clock, Professor Freley was made
the victim of very pleasant surprise
by his pupils. Scarcely had he taken
his seat when Professor Davis on the
part Of the pupils stepped forward and
in few appropriate remarks presented
him with a microscope which cost about
S25. The Professor was 80 overcome
with the suddenness of the surprise
coupled with the thought that he was
facing his school for the last time be-
fore leaving for his future field of Ia
Dor at Williamsport, Pa, that tears in
terferred with his uttersnces.
He thanked them all kindly for their
opportune present and promised ever to
hold the pupils in remembrance in a
warm corner of his heart. Professor
Skinner also made some remarks to help
his brother Professor out of his difficult
ty. The pupils were then given certi-
icates Of scholarship and the school
was dismissed for the vacation which
will last until the first of Ssptember.-
The visiting committee consisting of
Revs. Adam Stengle and W. J. Duhad-
away and lay member A. Z. sudler
were at the Academy to day wading
through piles Of answers to questions.
R. II. McDanel another lay member of
the committee was not present.
The Trustees of the Academy were
in session to day from two to three
o'clock and will meet again before the
The Alumni Association OF the Con-
ference Academy met this evening in
the NJ. E. Church, William Brown,
President, in the chair. The exercises
were opened by Mrs. Waloott singing a
solo. Rev. DR.. Caldwell lead in prayer.
The President then introduced
Richard Harrington, ESQ.,, who deliver
ed very logical and eloquent address,
in which he euiogized the free school
system in vogue in the United States
as being opposed to the spread Of Ro-
man Catholicism. He paid glowing
tribute to the influence of woman and
strongly advocate the admission of wo
men to the ballot box clothed with the
right of franchise as cure for many of
the evils Of the times.
The church was very much crowded
during the evening. At the close Of
Mr.. Harrington's address, the audi
ence returned him vote of thanks, ,and
the Alumni requested copy for pub
lication in pamphlet form. After sing
ing piece Of music entitled "Long
ago" by quartette, Rev. DR.. Matlack
pronounced the benediction. The

A FOrger.

The loss to the First National Bank
of Brattleboro', VT, through the FORGE
ries of its President, s. M. Waite, is
now reported as upwards Of $3.50, 900.
There is little doubs that Waite has
left the country, and the directors of
the bank believe that he has taken q
large sum of money with him. His
forgeries already ascsrtained include
paper Of the Connecticut River Rail-
road for about $50, 900; Frederick Bill
lings, $40, Trenor W. Park, $780,.
900; Lyon & Healy, of Chicago, $40,
600 the Taunton Locomotive Works,
about $l2. 900; C.J. Amidou, Hinsdale,
SIS, 900; and Vermilye & Co., New
York, about $500 1t appears that
Waite also issued fraudulent certificates
Of the stock Of the bank, and that he
has carried on his operations for about
ten years. Several Of the stockholders
are ruined by the collapse, and it is
said some of the directors whose crimi-
nal negligence allowed the fraud to go
on are ruined also.

that little Dick had won the heat, but
Blind Tom was not distsncsd. Mr..

In the third heat Little Dick took the
lead, but Blind Tom gradually went

TIE ART OF NOT HEARING.

The art of not hearing should be
taught in every well regulated family.
1t is fully as important to domestic hap.
piness as a cultivated ear, for which 80
much money and time are expended.
There are 80 many things which it is
painful to hear-very many which, if
heard, will disturb the temper, corrupt
implicitly and modesty, detract from con-
tentment and happiness-that every one
should be educated to take in or shut
out sounds, according to their pleasure.
If a man falls into a violent passion
aud calls us all manner of names, at the
first word we should shut our ears and
hear no more If in our quiet voyage of
life we find ourselves caught in one of
those domestic whirlwinGs of sColding,
we should shut our ears as sailor would
unfurl his sails, and, making all tight,
sc1d before the gale. If hot and rest
less man begins to infl4me our feelings,
we shou consider what mischief these
fiery sparks may do in our magazine be-
low, where our temper is kept, and in
stantly close the door.
If, as has been remarked, all the petty
things said of one by needless or ill
natured idlers were to be brought home
to him, he would become mere walking
pin cushion, stuck full of sharp remarks.
II we would be happy, when uonggood
men we should open our ears, when
among bad men shut them. 1t is not
worth while to hear what our neighbors
say about our children, or what our rivals
say about our business, our dress or our
affairs.
THIS art of not hearing, though un'
taught in the school, is by no means un-
practiced in society. We bave noticed
that well-bred woman never hears a
vulgar or impertinent remark. A kind
of discreet deafness saves one from many
insults from much blame, from not a
little connivance in disholorable con.
versation.- United Presbyterian.

"pEAR1s OF THOUGHT"

A German author has made Collec.
ton Of mixed metaphore, which he calls
pearls of thought. Some of them are
worth quoting if only as warning to
highhown orators not to allow their
magniloquenCe to fly away with them
altogether. Said an inspired Democrat
"We will burn all our ships, and with
every sail unfurled, steer boldly out into
the ocean of freedom |" Even that fight
is surpassed by an effort of Justice Min
lister Hye, who, in 184S, in speech to
the Vienna Btu ents, impressively de-
clared: The chariot wheels of the
Revolution is rolling along, and gnash-
ing its teeth asit rolls" A pan. German
ist mayor of a Rhineland corporation
rose still higher in an address to the en-
peror. He said: mo Austria, no Prus.
sia, only one Germany; such were the
words the mouth of your imperial maj
esty has always had in its eye." We
have heard ofthe mouth having an eye
tooth, but never before of the mouths
eye.
But there are even literary men who
cannot open their mouths without put.
ting their foot in it. Prof. Johannes
Scherr is an example OF such. In crit
Icism on Lenau's lyrics he writes: "0ut
of the dark regions of philosophical
problems lhs poet suddenly let's swarms
of songs dive up, carrying farh Ishing
pearls of thought in their beaks." Songs
and beaks are certainly related to one
another, but we're never seen in that in
CoDgruous connection before.
The Count-had no doubt the poets
paterna rura in his mind at the time.
But none of these pearls of thought and
expression in Fatherland surpass the
speech of the immortal Joseph Prud-
homme on being presented with a sword
of honor by the company he command
ed in the National Guard of France.
H said: Gentlemen, this sword is the
brightest day of my life. GalHgant.

A PARTY of miners were snow bound
on Needle Mountain, Colorado. The
drifts were high around their cabin on
every side, and it became evident that,
as their stock of provisions was small,
they must quickly dig their way out or
starve to death One was to i'll to stir,
and the rest cast lots to determine which
should stay with him. Food and fuel
enough for a week were left with the
two men, and the others started on their
desperate journey, The distance to the
nearest settlement was only four miles,
bu they were five days on the journey,
and their suffering was intense, from
both cold and hunger. 1t is uncertain
yet whether the sick man and his com.
panion survive.

MANY of the failures of men in this
life are the result of irresolution. All
men possess some ability, some energy,
If these elements can be set in motion;
if they can be drawn out, eitLer by nat
ural OF forcible circumstances, the prob.
abilities are, the man may succeed. Some
succeed in life merely from their strength
of character, and they have little els to
support them. Generally speaking, the
men of energy and force, who have the
courage and the will, and 60 forward
without fear or favor, and who depend
upon themselves, and not so much upon
others, they are the men who will and
must succeed, they cannot help it.

A SooTcH Professor, Mr.. McGregor,
observed at the recent Social Science
convention in Edinburgh, that "there
were thirty thousand Englishmen who
had been in graves at BannoCkburn for
the last FIVE hundred years because trey
could not stay at home and mind their
own affairs. The Scottish Nation would
not allew the English to dictate to them,
and he hoped the English would not at
tempt it," The remark created some
excitement, but things went ON we'll un-
til, the Professor having risen again, he
was ordered to resume his seat"

that one half Of the population of New

partially connected with some Protest

Of the population are ever seen in any
