Mount Union College.

Said Bayard Taylor, at a public lecture
in the College, March, 1876: My lowest
estimate OF the cash value of the specimens
now in the museum of Mount Union Col
lege,is considerable above a quarter million
dollars" In the past year the number of
different students was 6l5, with a greater
average attendance than for years and the
whole number OF students for the past 35
years, 10, 526, about one-fourth ladies, and
over half teachers. The call for our stu
dents to teach public schools in winter is
greater than the supply. Tuition is but a

Pleasant Surprise.

Yesterday Rev. Father Kreusch, of the
st. Alphonsus Society, was presented with
an elegant sold-headed cane, by number
of his friends. Early in the afternoon
many of them had cOngregated at Father

those present were invited to the parlor,
where Rev. Baumgarten, Father Kreusch's
assistant. made a very nice speech review.
ing Father Kreusch's ministerial life in
Wheeling, during twenty-four years. Over
powered by his emotion Father Krusch
could hardly find words TO thank
his friends for the nice present,
which he regarded as token of the faithful
adherence OF large number Of his friends.
BY request Mr.. l.. F. Thoma of the poiks.
Jida made few pertinent remarks which
were well received
The many guests were then invited to
the garden, where the ladies had set two
large tables. The supper was splendid and
consisted Of everything that any gourmand
could wish.
After the supper the guests spent q few
hours in a most pleasant manner, with
singing and chatting. All were we'll
pleased, especially Father Krensch, who
could not find words enough to express his
qualification.

Slightly Out.

The following was clipped from the
Pittsburg TimeS Of yesterdays issue:
Mike J. Filan, Of this city. has challenged
Ed. Rees and a man named Clarity, of
Wheeling, to row them q race for any sum
between $500 and 81 600, the race TO be .
ten or twenty mile go-as-you- please. The
several parties and their hackers met last
night at James Filan's saloon in Wheeling.
and made arrangements for both races.
Filan, on August 18th, beat Deiters, Of
Wheeling, in ten mile race, in the Ohio
at that city. He IS promising oarsman."
The above article is perfectly correct
with these few exceptions: First, that
Messrs- Rees and Garrity are not oarsmen.

The House on Monday passed the Pension
Appropriation bill appropriating s 100, 900 600
for pensions There was no other alternative
unless the act providing for tho payment of
pension arrears should be repealed, which
could not be thought Of after the Govern
ment was once committed to the policy and
had paid portion Of them. The Congress
which passed the Arrears law did not have
the courage to appropriate money sufficient
to carry out the requirements Of the measure,
and the subsequent House displayed similar
cowardico. Tho bill now passed contains
legislation giving the Commissioner of PEN
sions power TO detail clerks or special agents
from his Office to make special examinations
into the merits of such pension or bounty
land claims rs he may deem proper, to aid in
the prosecution of any party found to have
been guilty of fraud in regard to such claims
On Monday the House also passed bill for
tho retirement of trade dollars from circula-
ton. It provides that until the first of July,
1884, any person may deposit ut any mint of
the United States trade dollars and receive In
exchange at fun weight, dollar for dollar
standard silver dollars. The trade dollars
thus received at the mints are to be regarded
as silver bullion, and be deemed part of the
monthly purchase of bullion required by the
act of 1873.
By excellent management the Head Money
bill, in which New York city is so deeply in.
terested, was brought up aud passed It pro-
vides that a tax Of 30 cents head shall be
paid upon each immigrant landed in the
United States, and also contains provisions TO
prevent the landing of convicts, idiots, luna
tics or any person unable to take care Of him
self or herself without becoming a public
charge. Such persons are to be sent back to
the countries from which they came.

The progress of the star route trial con-
tinues TO be slow, good deal Of time being
devoted to discussions over the admission OF
the documentary evidence presented by the
Government. Judge Wylie's decision that a
genuine petition for increased or expedited
service might furnish the basis for fraud as
readily as bogus one, and that any details
bearing on the general fact Of conspiracy are
admissible as evidence ought, however, to
dispose Of good many Of the objections Of
counsel for the prosecution. As the trial is
likely to cover three months, and as II is OK
clusivey concerned with the examination OF
huge mass Of details covering the conduct
of the mail service over nineteen stage routes,
it can hardly be expected to develop senss-
tional episodes or revelations which will be
regarded as at all striking by those familiar
with the published history OF the STIR route
