Correspondence
During the last two weeks we have
been surfeited with amusements and
entertainments.
The College Literary Societies and
classes have given public entertain
ments, all of which have reflected much
credit AS regards training and ability.
The Juniors gave the last, which was
well attended. A bnrlesque program
freely circulated the evening before,
by its happy hits and rich humor, was
a source of much amusement, espec-
tally its drive at the President, who
was for " Prayer for Patience" The
Juniors imported an italian band from
Warren, to furnish the music for the
occasion, for the purpose, it is said, of
educating our people up to more cor
rect appreciation of home talent-and
they succeeded admirably.
Owens Crystal Museum was on ex-
hibition five evenings last week, and
drew coed audience each evening.
The wonderful working of glass into
ornaments and philosophical instru-
ments in presence of the audience,
was both pleasing and instructive.
Twenty-Five presents were given away
each evening, some of rare beauty and
value
Prof. Potter, late editor of the Franz
ingham Gazette, favored US last Friday
evening with his Dioramic views, Civ
ing in two hours, a better idea of
astronomy, than can be obtained in
months of study. Among his "pleas-
ing and amusing views" he advertised
"the assassination of Garfield and
Lincoln, and funeral scenes"
The Winter term of College closed
last Friday. There will be vacation
of one week, when the Spring term
will commence under more favorable
auspices. Patrons need fear no lack of
discipline, as the evening mail having
been abolished, the faculty considers
itself adequate for any emergency.

a remedy for existing and dreaded
evils. He suggests plural instead of
a sole executive. A Chief Executive
Council of fUe, taken from different
sections of the country, is his sugges-
tien.
In regard to this. there is much that
can be said pro and con. And yet, the
idea of IL Plural Executive is not orig
inal with Judge Green. Governor
Edmund Randolph, Of Virginia, in
the convention which framed the con-
stitution of the United States, advOca-
ted Plural Supreme Executive Coun-
Gil of three, instead of clothing one man
with more than regal power. Jefferson
was understood to favor this idea of q
Plural Executive, which was called
"the Virginia PLAN"
1t is very evident that the immense
power and patronage placed in the
| hands of the Executive through the
vast system of appointments to Office
should be taken away, and that right
speedily. Without this applied RENE
dy the government will be, indeed is
already, corrupted, and wrenched anG
drifted from the true design of its
founders, and actually antagonizes the
principles of Democratic republic.
This vast executive patronage, cor
rupting him who wields it, as well as
his beneficiaries, is the source anC
spring of the debasing spoils system
and the infiamer and inspirer of thu
direct partisan ferocity. These things
cannot endure without remedy. Tht
impending danger will culminate il
rueful disaster. 1t is none too soon TO
patriotic, thoughtful men to give th'
vital subject their closest attention
their profoundest refections.-[S st. Pau

Mr.. Perry Young, of Reotstown,
was called upon by Bible agent, not
long ago, and induced to subscribe for
what he supposed to be bible, but to
his astonishment it turns out to be a
prommissory note for $500. No won
der a minister will say damn it' to a
book agent. The book agent, however
will not object to the damnits" as
long as they are thrown in the bargain.
A very good way for a man to get his
note in circulation is to write his name
on piece of paper, especially for a
stranger. In these days of duplicate
process of writing person can, by
writing his name on page of paper,
though all written over, very easily
leave duplicate on a neat piece of
paper which may be hidden under
meath the one he writes on, and thus
give an opportunity to swindlers to
fill out promissory note above the
signature. The safest way is not to
subscribe for anything. ***

Approaching Peril.

Judge James w. Green, an eminent
jurist of Virginia, gives utterance tC
the following:
"All men of reflection are impressed
| with belief that the Republic is in
peril. How to meet the danger is the
great question for the consideration OF
this generation. He will deserve well
of his country who solves the problem
or even makes a Suggestion, which
taken up 10y others, shall assist in its
solution"
Judge Green is not alone in these
serious apprehensiOns. That the Re
public may yet fall by it's own weight,
and the States become discovered and
belligerent, is no new idea, nor the
coinage of alarmists. Our vast expanse
of territorial domain. erected and be-
ing erected into states; our rapid
growth in population by immigration
and natural increase, our enlargement
in every material interest, some of
which interests are unavOidably sec
tional and conflicting, warn of posi-
BILE, aud even probable, disturbance
and disintegration.
The enormous power concentrated
in an executive robs the republic of it's
democratic life, and clothes the gov

monarchy without its guarded consti-

patronage centered in II sole executive
is at once a source of danger and cor
ruption, as we have reason to feel and
know, in the action of conspicuous
administration not very remote in our
history.

I'm n Passion

Many of the loyal Radical patriots
were thrown into towering passion
by the following dispatch, which was
published in the morning papers last
Thursday:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-The Presi-
dent and Cabinet have, so it is officially
announced, decided in favor of the
restoration of FitZ John Porter 10 the
army. The only question in cOnnec-
ton with the case that is undecided is
as to POrter's back pay. When cash
tered he held the rank of Colonel OF
the regular army and Major General
of volunteers. The question now is
whether his back pay as Major Gener-
al would accrue to him up to the rein
statement, or whether it would ter
inmate in 1866, when other Major
Generals were mustered out of service.
This question has been referred to the
Attorney General for his opinion. The
President will nominate Porter as
Colonel of Infantry to fill the first
vacancy and Porter will probably ask
to be retired.
The mass of the Republican papers
declare that General Porter ought tC
be shot. 1t matters not to them that 8
military commission composed of the
ablest and lest men of the army, after
carefully reviewing the entire eyidenct
in the case, with the light thrown up
on it by the ex-Confederate witnesses
found that Porter was not only guilt
less of the charges preferred against
him, but by his intelligent and faithful
service placed the country under last
ing obligations to him by saving the
Union army from greater disaster a
the second battle of Bull Run. They
care nothing for the fact that such Off
GERS as Grant, Terry, Franklin, anC
hundreds of others, after a careful re
view of all the evidence, declare tina
t-rter was uhjustly dealt with, still
without any knowledge of military
law or discipline, they declare hin
guilty because he was the friend o
Mcclellan and not of their politica
school.

found itself ignOminiously beaten.

DURING the year ending June 3Oth,
1881, there was manufactured in the
United States, 1884, ,337 ,598 worth OF
woolen goods, consisting of hosiery,
carpets, felt goods, wool hats, etc. OF
this amount there was exported from
the United States $2lG,576. For the
same time there was imported into this
country $40, ,2l2 of wooden goods,
from which the government received a
duty OF 5S.S per cent, aggregatinr
81, 23S $40. From this it appears that
the people of the United States, during
the year ending June 3Olh, 1850. pur-
chased 1854, ,069. $50 worth of wooleu
goods, on which they paid a tariff tax
OF $5S.s per cent, amounting to the
enormous sum of $343, ,432, 7lQ, of which
amount the government received $40
238, 8,7lO, and the manufacturers a boun-
ty of $3l4, $40. This is under a

A remonstrance to Congress against
the adoption of the metric system of
weights and measures was circulated
in town last week, and signed by all
who had the opportunity. 1t is diff
cult to understand why system which
has been in use so Tonga with which
everybody is familiar, should be aban-
doned for some new tangled French
affair. 1t looks as though those who
are advocating the change have "axes
to grind" or books to sell.
