lg profess horror at The profanity indulged il
on the street to have the offender brought
into Court TO have the shocking vice sun
'e marily stopped. Under the law it is al
VI Offence against the peace and dignity o.
the commonwealth Its abatement is right

We last week received from Mr.. Isaac 7.
Brubaker. Of Stoystown and from James
o. II. Kienan, of Somerset invitations to
be present at the seth Annual Commence-
ment of the jefferson Medical College of
Philadelphia, which took place Saturday,
March 18th, at u IN. Both young men
have been attending the above named insti-
tuition for the past two years and having
successfully passed the examination were
last Saturday presented with their sheep
skins and pronounced full-fedged NJ. IDS.
The HERALD extends its sincere congratu-
/ lations to both and wishes them unbounded
success in the practice of their newly
acquired profession.
There is bin before the Legislature of
this State which provides that ''any person
who shall beat his wife or other female per-
son shall receive not exceeding 30 lashcs
upon his bare back by means of whip or
lash Of suitable proportion and strength for
the purpose. This punishment shall be in !
flicted by the sheriff of the county or by one
Of his deputies within the prison inelosure |
of the county in which the offence was com
mitted, and in presence OF duly licensed |
physician and OF the keeper of the prison or
one of his deputies, but in the presence Of
no other peron." A whole congress of un-
happy wives who have felt the brutal blows
of barbarous and uncivilized husbands will |
rise up and call Mr.. Ruddiman, who is the
author of the bill blessed" if he succeeds
in having il enacted into law.
A highly priced exchange says: Before
the robins and blucbirds have made their
appearance, catalogues are coming from the
gardeners, florists and seedsmen, asking the
public to get ready for the bloom of an APP
preaching summer. There is almost an
irony in suggesting lilies and swect-will-
Jams when the thermometer is at zezo,
and yet, what is more appropriate than
contemplation of the possible pleasures of
the future when suffering under present rig
ors and discomforts At all events, it is a
good thing to be reminded of the flowers
which we should not omit to plant and cul-
tivate when the season viii permit il. \
home is enriched and sweetened when sur
rounded by even a strip ofbloom, such as a
little care will furnish it.
The Cambria Iron Company lately present.
cd to the people of Johnstown building OF
magnificent finish and ample proportions, to ]
be used as a library and for lecture purposes.
Gentlemen connected with the same com
pany have endowed the library in such a
manner as to insure its support, the expense
of its attendance being put down a: 81 200
year, the supply of books to be KEEP. up by
receipts from the same endowment and con-
tributions from other people. The citizens
of Johnstown are employees OF the Cambria
Iron Company, a corporation which has lit {
orally built up that magnificent borough,
now one of the richest and most influential !
in the country. Ali great corporations do
not eyince the same interest in their en- s
ployees as tha. shown in this instance by
the Cambria Ircn Company, and the conse- J
quence is that the character ofthc workmen
does not rise to the standard which it ought
10 fill. Wherever culture is encouraged and /,
for gathering knowledge are
there men are necessarily made
better.
Some good advice to girls is going the
rounds of the New England papers, the j
point oft all being that an unmarried wo- c
man cannot be too particular in the selec- !
ton of her masculine acquaintance, and v
that life partnership should not be entered c
into without at least as much caution as d
men display in making business combina-
,ions for limited periods No man selects I,
