House, on Friday, and Saturday
evenings, devoting one hour and a
quarter of time, each evening to the
subject, which was Light and Science
OF Life and Nature" He is boy
not out of his teens and how one SO
young in years, as he should have
the desire to investigate the laws Of
nature to the degree required to pro-
duce such lecture is wonder to all
that listened to him during the two
evenings Just mentioned. AZ an in
vestigator after truth as revealed in
the laws of nature, the lecture stamps
him as far beyond the average youth.
He would make preacher with the
natural quality of earnestness, and
application to delve into the laws
Of nature, for truth to confound and
overthrow the doubts that infdels of
this time are awakening in the minds
of the people. His manner of delivery
and speech is good, and not with
standing the fact that the acoustic
construction of the Court room rem
ders the finer intonation of the hu
man voice inaudible, he was plainly
heard in tone of voice that is pleas
ant to the ear The audience that was
to hear him was as large as could be
expected and contained number of
the best people in the place
A Perry county boy aged IA years
attempted to ride a mule through a
culvert under the canal at Baley's.
The Newport .NeDs, gives the follow
ing account of it. He had advanced
only short distance when the space
became too small to admit of his
further entrance, but before the mule
was halted he had been wedged in
between the roof of the culvert and
the beasts back as to make his posi-
ton extremely critical. The lad was
powerless to relieve himself from his
dangerous predicament. In the
meantime the mule grew tired of his
cramped condition and began back
ing out OF the culvert regardless OF
consequences. He kindly lowered
his head, however, and the first step
backward let young Fisher hanging
by his neck for moment and then
the scalp of the back part of his head
was scraped off, when he fell in the
shallow stream of water and lost
consciousness temporarily. His sub
sequent cries from pain and for as
sistance brought him rescuers, who
helped him out of danger and kindly
cared for him.
Washington d G., Sep, 25 1882
To the People Of Pennsylvania.
By a aresolution OF Congress, adopt
ed August 5, 1882 the use of the
Rotunda and adjacent rooms of the
Capitol was granted to the Society
of the Army of the Cumberland, for 8
Bazaar and Reception, to be held
from November 20 to December 3rd
for the purpose of raising funds to
erect monument in the National
Capital, to the memory Of the late
President Garfield.
To carry out the purposes Of Con
gress in this resolution, Board oi
Direction has been instituted, and
! under their authority a Board OF
, Commissioners appointed from Penn.
! sylvania to solicit contributions from
/ our State, to attend to their exhibi
ton and sale, and in other respects
to represent the State in an effort in
which the whole nation joins.
The Commissioners earnestly so
licit contributions from manufactu-
rers, merchants, and from all others
interested in the cause. These may
consist of money, of articles for sale
and Of articles for exhibition onlv.
All contributions will be promptly
acknowledged. Ii for sale or exhibi-
tion they will be displayed to the best
advantage, bearing the name and adj
dress of the contributor, until the
close of the Bazaar, when all gifts
will be sold for the benefit of the
fund, and other articles restored to
their owners.
The object being only to raise
funds, it Is desired that gifts may be
as liberal as possible These may in
clude products of every branch OF art
and industry, whether adapted for
display in the rotunda or not, since
for the display of coarser and bulk
ier articles room elsewhere is provid-
ed. In an exhibition of this character
in which nearly all the States will be
represented, the Commissioners are
ambitious to secure an exhibit from
Pennsylvania which, while second to
none IN attractiveness, shall have no
superior as contribution to the end
In view.
From what her people can do in
art of every degree, from the pro-
ducts of her homes, her mills, her
manufactures, her mines, from the
warehouses of her merchants, stock
ed with the products of every land,
we bespeak the best and choicest for
this cause.
The memory of our great and
good men is the richest heritage we
can hand down to posterity. No cas-
ket Is too rare or costly to enshrine
such memories, no monument too
proud or lofty Will not the people
of Pennsylvania show their apprecia
ton of the goodness and worth and
heroism of James A. Garfield by lib
eral contributions to this object ?

any way may obtain full details by
