of tho strongest man, cut or from the companion
ship of all but her desperate brothers and half
idlotic father, the poor young creature made no
complaint but bore her burden with Il bravery
worthy much bettcreause. The child could notget
material with which to mend her own clothing to
say nothing OF her fathers, and, therefore, the old
man went about attlred in rags that would scarcely
hold together At length dressmaker In the
noighboring town proposed TO adopt her as an ap-
prentice and companion, promising TO send her TO
school. and the old man reluctantly consented,
She had not been gone long, however, before he
required her to return to him. This conduct OF
the old man was resented by his elder son, who
sent his sister again 10 the dressmaker The latter
refused however, to receive her, unless with a
legal agreement which would empower her 10
keep her, even against the demand Of the father,

The &" Benefit" at the parlors of the Metho-
dist church on Wednesday evening was
complete success. The tables were spread at
o'clock. Coffee, sandwiches and cake were
served by charming walters to the attendants
till half-past seven. At that time the sump-
tuous tables were left for a richer musical and
oratorcal feast. Declarations were spoken
by Mr.. w. S MACE, Mr.. w. V. DUGGAN,
Mr.. A. f. BRONSON and Miss HILA HUNTLEY
favored the audience by reciting the " Paint
er Of Seville" Mr.. MACE has a clear voice,
fine articulation and an easy, graceful man
ner. fIe always peases his audience. Mr..
DUGGAN, who carried off the first prize st
the contest in Mercur Hall last Friday even
ing, has strong, melodious voice, fine pres
ence, an almost perfect enunciatfon and just
Welsh enough in his speech tc make him
very interesting and forcibe speaker. Mr..
Bronson, though suffering from severe
cold, spoke his defamation, :" The Flag"
with great earnestness and animation. He
has to contend with one or two natural de-
fects and when these are overcome he will
make a fine speaker. Miss HUNTLEY has IL
clear though not Il strong voice. Her inhec-
tions are excellent. Her manner is pleasing
and her rendering of the A." Painter Of Seville"
was interesting.
The musical part of the entertainment was
most excellent The song "Thc vioets" was
sung beautifully by Mrs. BALDWIN and Miss
SEELEY, with Mrs. SHAUT accompanist. The
duet "When | Know that thou art Near Me-
by Miss LOTTIE KEELER and Mr.. MACE was
highly entertaining. The duet ''How dear to
Me the Hour" by Mrs. III. MERCUR and Miss
KELLER could not have been more appreciate
ed. The song and chorus " PSe gwine back
to Dixie" by Mrs. BALDWIN, Miss SEELEY

At meeting of the faculty of Lehgh Uni
versity held March 21st 1881, the following
record was directed to be spread upon the
minutes:
The faculty have received with heartfelt
sorrow the sad intelligence of the dea h of
Charles Waller Abbott of the senior class,
and hasten to tender their heartfelt sympathy
and coincidence to his parents and family. An
excellent student of more than ordinary gifts.
he was exemplary in department and worked
faithfully to acquire the knowledge which
should fit him tor future professional life
upon which, to all human foresight, he was
so soon to enter.
Intelligent, truthful, frank and manly, he
was highly esteemed by his classmates and
felow-students, who will sadly miss him
from among them. There remains to cheer
those from whom he has been thus early
taken, the reasonable religious and holy hope
that merciful God has removed him to II
happy and eternal home.
