The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1881-11-19
From The County Seat.


The 18th annual meeting ofthe Car
bon County Institute was held hore dur
ing the week, in the Court House. The
entire proceedings and the subject matter
we're appropriate, and we'll suited for the
occasion, and apparently appreciated by
a large aud intelligent audience. The
lecture on ''The Wealth and Wit of
Words" by DR.. Ferrier, was amusing,
interesting and instructive, giving the
origin of many slang words now in use,
showing the danger of destroying or cor
lupting the beauty and sinp nplicity Of the
English language, which should be care
fully and sacredly guarded, aud as fur as
possible kept pure, for it is the Language
Of the Bible, and of civilization, ard
judging from the rapid strides it is max
ing, it is d stined soon TO be the longu-
age of the whole world, and unite the
Lumnn family together in the bonds of
univt rsal brotht rhood. The Scioptican
exhibition. given by the State Superin-
te,lsent Of schools. OF New Jersey. on tie
beautiful scenery of S vitzorlAod, was
highly entertaining, delightipg the at-
diepce who g. zed with intense and pleas
ing interest upon the scenes, as they were
thrown upon the canvass. Indeed, some
of the snow covered mountains appear Ell
so natural and cold as to almost chill the
lockers on. 1t was Enro treat, and very
highly spoken of by all who were SO for
tuuate rs to be present. AS we were not
present at all the meetings, we are | OF
prepared to give the full particulars, but
we venture TO say that the entire pro-
ceeIings were in-harmony with the rur-
pose, creditable to the Institute, ,und l;gh-
ly instructive to all who had the pl,as-
ure of witnessing aud participating in
them.

The political, excitement of the last
few weeks has gradually subsidized, and
while the victorious rarty are gently
resting upon tLelr laurels, those who
were defeated are gradually yielding to
the fixedness of events, and are prepa,
ipg and waiting for the wagon, when they
will all take ride up salt river, and
there to abide.
