FOURTH OF July AT THE SEAsHoRE.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany have arranged to run select
excursion to the seashore on Thurs =
day, July I'd. The train will leave
Pittsburgh in the morning, arriving
at Philadelphia in the evening. Elk
cursionists will spend the night in
Philadelphia, and continue their trip
on any Of the many trains running to
the seaside on the Sd. This will
give ample time to secure hotel &C
commodations in advance of the host
of excursionists to these points on
the 4th. Both Cape May and Allan
tic City will offer special attractions
on the Glorious Fourth, and those
who take advantage Of the occasion
will enjoy an unusual treat. The
tickets are exceedingly cheap, and
are good for ten days. The rates
will be announced in next issue.

A MOUNTAIN PARTY.-A party con-
sisting of R. Armstrong and Miss
Jessie B. Coombs, Ed Baker and
Miss Dora Dorsey, j. d. Sweeny and
Miss Updegraff, of Wheeling, George
Baker and Miss Elite Boyers, A. B.
Bush and Mary E. Gregg made a
trip over to Camp Eden on last Sat
urday afternoon. Quite a pleasant
time is reported by all participants.
After arriving at the above named
picturesque spot, and for time
viewing the beautiful scenery which
none but the occasional visitor can
so profoundly enjoy, boat riding
was decided to be in order and all
ventured out upon the wavy Cheat
A short time spent at this rare en-
joyment and the idea was caught by
some one-and but little sooner by
one than ALTO penetrate the dense
forest that overhangs the river upon
the mountain side. The way most
inviting into the forest was by as.
cending Quarry run. This route was
decided upon, and all hands started NJ
the rocky ascent anxious to see "na
ture at her best" A short time
spent in this region where the pierre
ing rays of the sun receive no ad
mittance on account of the innumer
able pines, all returned over delight
ed with the trip.

OPEN AIR CoNcERTs.-The cornet
band gave the first of a series of
open air concerts in the public square
on Saturday evening last. The ex-
cellent music attracted many people
to the place who were profuse with
their compliments. The members
of the band have been giving much
time and study to their music of late
and have made very satisfactory pro-
gress. The organization is source
Of pride to the town and has gained
more than local reputation. The
boys made music last week for al
the commencement exercises that was
perfectly satisfactory.

DIR. HIRsr's LECTURE.
The lecture of the Rev. DIR. A. G.

faultless delivery made the lecture &

There appear to be a great many
old laws hiding around in different
places which are permitted to remain
in q comatose state until cirCum-
stances arise when it is convenient to
enforce them. The German Govern
ment has recently ordered the expuI-
sion OF five COMMUNICATIONS from
the Island of Fair, under q law of
1871 which had fallen into desuetude
until Bismarck found it useful in a
special case, when it was promptly re-
viyed. The law forbids foreigners to
settle or even reside temporarily at a
place without first obtaining permits
sion from the local authorities.

Charles J. Osborn, q noted New York
broker-46 years old and worth S.
100000 died recently from disease
caused by continuous mental excite
ment, accompanied by q luxurious
method of life, with wine and stimu-
Iatlng food to maintain the system
under the exhausting drafts on it's
resources and vitality. All his mature
years were spent in the midst OF the
riot and excitement Of Wall street
speculation. He was wonderfully
lucky, but gnawing and decorating
anxietles must have preyed upon his
mind; the alternateperiods of depres-
sion and ~exaltation in his hopes, his
fears and his fortunes, his constant
torture on the rack of expectation,
wore out his life and dragged him to
q premature grave.

Thelate postmaster of Philadelphia,
wrote a letter to the employees of the
postofice disappearing any a "testi.
monial' to him on his retirement.
These so-called testimonials to re-
firing officers are among the greatest
humbugs and abuses of the public
service. The offering would in this
case, have been spontaneous, but the
retiring Postmaster is quite right in
his disapproval OF assessments Of
clerks, voluntary or involuntary. for
testimonials or any other purpose"
as also in his confidence that the kind
feelings of his subordinates can find
sufficient expression without the
stereotypedformalities. The exampl
thus set is one that should be fol-
lowed, not only in public Offices but
elsewhere. Any one who knows how
these things are instigated, and
for what object, will be gladto seetht
practice discontinued.

President Andrew Jackson's first term
had just begun. The population Of
the United States was then only about
10000, 900. Mr.. Hunter has witness
