ST. MAKY,S ACADEMY.

Tn Q Disrributl0n of Prizes Yesterday.
The closing exercises of the scholasti,
year and the distribution of prizes took
place at St. Mary's academy, on Tuesday
afternoon at half-past two. There were
present DR.. McCullagh, Rev. Father Igoe,
of Renova, and DR.. Brennan, of Eric. The
hall was tastefully decorated with choice
flowers and hanging baskets, and presented
the appearance of a beautiful garden. The
music was of classical order, having been
selected from the very best authors.
The young ladies and children acquitted
themselves remarkably we'll, and showed
the excellent teaching and perseverance OF
the sisters in the way they rendered the
most difficult pieces. The singing, too,
was very select. Miss Maize Malone dis
played her talent in the rendition of
Norma and " Kathleen Mavourneen,' -
and Miss Beckie Rhoads in Memories in
Springtime - they sang with expression,
ease and grace. Want of space prevents
us from giving the whole programme, but
all did admirably, and the sisters in charge
of tho academy may we'll be proud of the
success which has attended their efforts
since it was opened. They have sent forth
many accomplished young ladies in Ian
caster, who are a credit to society.
When the exercises We're over the pre-
miums were distributed. Miss Bernie
O'Neill, Miss Agnes McConomy aud Miss
Margie Harrison having the highest avel
ages for the year were entitled to hand
some prize, given by DR.. McCullsgh. The
doctor then addressed tho pupils in a very
expressive manner, congratulating them
on the success Of the past year, which they
so we'll deserved, and thanked them for
the enjoyable entertainment they had
given, after which they separated to enjoy
a pleasant pleasant vacation.
The brilliant year just closing for the
sisters in the academy forcshadows their
future success they will be in their now
building for the reopening in September,
where they will have better facilities than
they have hitherto enjoyed.

The Gsvernor's Good Work.

The Governors GOO0 W Orks
The governor has delivered three more
yetoes, all apparently well grounded.
An act for the government of cities OF
the fifth class was disapproved because
it authorized the imprisonment of citl,
zens who did not pay their taxes
certainly a most excellent reason, and we
share the surprise which the governor
expresses that the Legislature was in
duced to return to the barbaric idea OF
imprisonment for debt. 1t only shows
how ill.considered is legislation, partic-
ularly that of local char acter, and how
necessary it is that it should be critically
examined by the governor before giving
it his approval. Another veto was of an
act directing surveyors to take the bear
ings of permanent objects in making
their corners direction which prop
ably would be beneficial, if observed, but
as the Legislature neglected to provide a
penalty for its non observance the gov =
ernor very wisely refused to cumber the
statute book with an Ineffective law.
The third veto was caused by the viola
tion in the bill of the constitutional
prohibition to the passage of local laws
affecting counties, cities, bOroughs and
school districts.
The intelligent and diligent super
vision which the governor is giving to
the products of legislation is exceed
ingly praiseworthy, and its results so far
have been very beneficial generally to
the state. The veto power is the greatest
one with which the governor of Penn.
sylyania is invested, and indeed it is
about the only great one he has. 1t Is a
great pity that the office of governor
has been emasculated as much as it has
in Pennsylvania. We particularly re
gret that the appointment of the Judges
has been transferred from the governor
to political conventions. Theoretically
the people select the judges if they
did in reality we might not have
so much reason to regret the
transfer to them of the power. We
consider it, however, to be concluSiveiy
demonstrated by our experience that
the election of judges is a mistake. We
are in favor of constitutional amend
ment restoring to the governor the power
of appointment. No doubt We would
get bad judges then from bad governors
But we stand an even chance of getting
good governors land we have the weight
of public opinion to keep bad governors
from going very wrong. Let us give
our governor his proper powers hold
him to his just responsibilities condemn
him when wrong applaud him whel
right and the affairs of the state vii
run as nearly s raight as they can b
directed.

DEATH OF COL. ". o. PATTERSON.

sketch 0s Ms CIVIL and 1ineaFy Career.
Col. VIM. C. Patterson died ut his resi-
dence in Philadelphia about 8 o'clock
Wednesday morning. He was we'll known
and had many friends in Lancaster city
and county. His wife was Caroline ELL
maker, daughter of Levi Ellmaker, of
Philadelphia, who was brother of Amos
Ellmaker, of Lancaster. Their father,
the late Nathaniel Ellmaker, of Leacock,
was the head of the large family of Ell.
makers in this city and county. Colonel
Patterson and his wife were very frequent
visitors to their kinsfolk, Newton Light
ner, Nathaniel Ellmaker, Amos Hender-
son and others residing in Lancaster.
Col. Patterson was born near Knoxville,
Tenn, about the year 1912. He was q
brother of the late General Robert Patter-
son, and son of Francis Patterson, who
emigrated from Ireland to escape punish.
ment for completely in the revolution of
'98. Before his majority the deceased was
engaged in his wool warehouse, and after
ward went into business for himself, and
rapidly accumulated fortune. He con.
structed the nine massive warehouses
generally known as the Patterson ware
houses, which on Aug. 4, 1869, we're
burned, with about 10000 barrels oi
whisky, involving loss of nearly SO, ,OOO.'
600. After engaging in a fruitless sorghum
sugar enterprise in New Jersey he went
West, made another fortune, and returned
to Philadelphia, where he had since
resided.
Colonel Patterson's life is closely inter
woven with the early history of the Penn
sylvania railroad company. He was elected
its president in December, 1S49, having
previously been a director, and without
issuing bond or paying usuriOus interest
he built up capital of SIC, 900, 900. Wher
the company was making the extension ol
the road to the Allephenies from Philadel
phia and Pittsburgh, to secure contin-
uous line by tho use of the old Portage
railroad with it's inclined plane
it was found that q mistake ir
the estimates left tho company about
100000 short in its construction
account. The company was without the
credit, but President Patterson was equa
| to the emergency. He went to his brother
Robert, told him of the needs of the COM
pany, and the general replied car
lend you quarter of a million, and bor-
row as much moro for you if necessary
The general was as good as his word, anG
the deficit was made good before its exis
tence became publicly known. Colone
Patterson was candidate for reelection
to the presidency of the company
in 1852, but was defeated by J
Edgar Thomson. The deceased was ont
of the early members of tho Washing
ton Grays and Washington Blues. HI
served in the Mexican war, aud was il

three months since, to relinquish tn
position to James Long, the incumbent.

One Reason Why.

The governor has approved tie bill
requiring goods manufactured by con
vict labor to be so marked that their
purchasers will know whence they come
The idea evidently is that convict labor
does not recommend their manufacture
and our present experience with our
prison management suggests at least ore
reason why. We are made to know that
it is considered the correct thing in SOM
prisons to conceal the existence of con
tagious diseases, and to run the affairs
of an institution infected with snal!
pox, Just as though it was in good san
tary condition. We trust that all prison
superint endents aud physicians do not
have the same conception of their duty
10 the community. AS we understand
the conduct of superintendent Bark
holder and Physician Shirk, it is such lis
might consign them to cells in their pri-
son. They denied the existence Of small
pox after it had been clearly developed
ia the jail and called it malaria DE-.
Shirk told our reporter, sent to inquire
into the existence of the smallpox, that
there was none; and when he was told
that the reporter had good reason to dls.
believe him, he declared that he would
take the responsibility of withholding
the report OF the disease from the beard
of health, to which the law made it his
duty to report it. Superintendent Burk
holder came to us and said that Tie
man who died of smallpox, had
died of variOl0id. On the habeas corrus
taken ont to release Carr, who has since
died of smallpox with his two sisters,
whom he infected, this superintendent
produced him before the judge, and this
illness, because of which his disc.,arge e
was asked, was not stated, though Carr
himself said to our reporter thai he hal
smallpox. Superintendent Burkio,d'r
resisted the discharge and said that lle
desired to retain the prisoner, because OF
his illness, but he did not tell its nature
Four people have died in the city from
smallpox directly traceable to infection
from prison convicts discharged into tse
community while suffering from t!ie
disease. Is no one responsible 7 Is nC
one to be punished ! Has not the crime
of manslaughter been committed 10y
those who permitted this infection to En
out from the prison, when they might
have prevented 1t by informing the
court and the board Of health, who had
authority in the premises, that the prjs
oners about to be discharged We're i'll
with smallpox?
In the death of the venerable Arch
bishop Wood a great church has lost IA
great and good man. His intellectual
and executive ability, his purity of
character and the respect and affection
which he commanded. i'm like measure
for his qualities of head and heart, have
long made him familiar to a far wider
community than that of the church
which he loved 50 much and served so
well. The authority and influence of
his clerical Office we're always exercised
in a legitimate way, for the cause Of
good government and public order, and
in all the relations Of citizenship the
venerable preIate who has been gathered
like a ripe shock filed the fall measure
OF his public and private duties.
