A PLEASANT TRIP.-In company
with Hon. E. Boyd Faulkner and a
committee from the council, consist
ing Of Messrs. G. w. Wisner, p.
Showers, John Farrin and G. o.
Lambert, we made a pleasant visit
to ChambersbuIg last Monday, and
called on Hon. Thos. B. Kennedy,
President Of the G. v. r. r., on
business connected with the grading
of Raleigh Street. Mr. Kennedy is
one of the most genial and pleasant
gentleman imaginable, and cordially
received the party and entertained
them handsomely We remained in
Chambersburg several hours, and
after dinner accepted an invitation
from Mr. Kennedy to go to Carlisle
and visit the Indian School at that
place.
Capt Pratt, the gentlemanly super
intendent of the school, gave US
every attention and showed us
through the grounds and various
buildings. The school is not now in
session and but thirty or forty of
the Indian pupils are there during
vacation. The Captain said he ex-
pected about three hundred pupils
the coming session. He is the right
man in the right place, and is doing
more towards solving the yexed In
dian question than all the soldiers
and missionaries that have been sent
to the territories and reservations
with q view to subduing the refrac-
tory red men. He educates and
learns them trades and teaches the
girls to sew and do all kinds of
general homework. In short civilizes
and learns them how to provide for
and take care of themselves like
