from q combination Of coal oil cans

there was strong talk Of mob law.
Your Granger staid halliday to see
how 10 worked, and then wended
his way back to the city satisfied
With the result, and contemplating
an application for = patent. But
alas! hsw frail foundation are hu-

A CORRECTION.

Edtter Democrat.
We noticed in your paper of the 20th
tEat in referring to tho debate held in
the Erodelphian society, Jan 18th,
1882, on the auession--ResoEced, Tho
negro has equal mental capacities with
the white man-it was stated that
Miss Maggie Geisendorfer was leader
on the affirmative and Miss Kittie
Althouse leader on tho negative, and
that the Affirmative won the day.
We would respectfully say that
from members of the society we have
ascertained that Kittie Althouse was
leader on the affirmative and Miss
Gsisendorfar on the negative. After
several hours of interesting debate,
which was participated in by all men,
bers present, the negative carried Of
the laurels, making forty points to the
afiirmative's twenty-nine. From all
accounts the debate Of the Erodelphian
Society bid fair to excel those Of the
celebrated Blackstone Debating Club
Of this city.
Very Respectfully,

A few evenings ago, zoar the hour
Of midnight, whsa nature slumbers aad
rsposs is sought by tho weary ones, a
melodious strain Of sweet music was
borne upon the air and the heavy eye
lids gave place to the charms Of the vo-
salist that paid their respects to quite
a number Of our leading citizens. Tho
difsreat parts OF ehoiss ssronads wero
sung in the moss happy manner. IL
was like waking from delightful
dream, only again to find that emo is
still surrounded by the common things
Of life. Success ans happiness to The
singers for their midnight pleasure.
Last night was the last meeting of

Their places will be filled BY new mea

him in an official capacity before, yet
few knew him personally. On his CON-
ing here he aad +. NJ. Miller formed a

a new field of operations. The Jadge
as lawyer was brief, Psiutcd and di,
rect, his knowledge Of law was extern
sivo and rarely failed of being csrrect,
this made him safe ceunSeller. Ia
pleading he aimed at co.cisensss and
vet the cause was sufficiently stated to
present the true issue Aa man and

He and his family carry with them to
their new hcms the kindsst wishes of
