appointed by the Confederate Govern
ment as a Diplomatic Commissioners
Canada. He was afterward taken and
carried, l believe, to Fortress Monroe,
where he was imprisoned. He was
dying at the time, it was thought, OF
asthma, and his wife came here to ask
his release on giving the required bond.
She went to President Johnson, and
he gave her the necessary order, which
| she took back to Secretary stanton.
Stanton read the order, and, looking
her in the face, tore it up without a
word and pitched it into his waste,
basket. The lady arose and retired
without speaking; nor did stanton
sneak to her. She was filled with des-
pair. She saw her husband, in whom
her life was wrapped up, dying IN prs

straight to Gen. Grants house, but
was told that the General was Just
about to leave for New York. She
asked to send in word to him, and the
servant took her name. In about 8
minute Gen. Grant appeared, gripsacl
in hand, and told her that he had bu'
time to catch the train.

In California one sees the vineyards

high, and some at even greater alti-

upon elevations where few years ago
no one would have taken the land as a

Rentals aud Leases.


The Supreme Court has decided that
the letting of a house, by parole, for a
certain sum per month, is not a lease
from year to year. And when a tenant
from month to month holds over for
more than year, he does not become IA
tenant from year to year but remains a
tenant from month to month. The ten
ant in such cases is not liable for whole
years rent, and is not entitled TO three
months notice to quit Only in cases where
written lease provides otherwise is this
decision applicable. A man may lease n
house for more than a month or year when
the terms of the written agreement holds
good. These facts are important as the
first of April approaches. 1t only requires a
months notice to oust such a tenant where
there is no lease.

Payday on the p. r. r. II. on Monday
made business brisker in town again. AS
it is January's wages the men need it.
We noticed quite IA number of strangers
in town on Saturday, Institute and other
business matters
The Institute was fairly attended. The
addresses in the forenoon were delivered
by Prof Waller, who spoke of the need of
Not giving the excuse that they were too
old, as other noted men had accomplished
their greatest acts after they had attained
the age of forty years and upwards. He
said that poverty was no excuse, as neces-
sity compcls a person to work. Also that
brief treatises were not good, as it was i'm
possible for us to comprehend what took a
lifetime of study for other men. We
should endeavor TO cultivate the habit of
attention and not read anything except
with pencil in hand to note down the
points. Charles Fisher next spoke on
Arithmetic, asking how pupils can be
made good reasoners upon the subject.
He was followed by Prof. Noetling and
others, who discussed the question, when
the Professor said that if pupils did not be-
come good reasoners it was the teachers
fault and not the pupils or the methods.
Miss Enola Guie gave few hints on read
ing, and read few selections. Superin-
tendent Grimes read an essay on public ex-
ercses, Miss Ruth Perkins read AN essay
on language lessons, stating that we
must put forth persistent effort and con-
stant care, combined with thorough drill
in every lesson recited. A. Hover then
spoke on "Does our System Of Governing
make Men and Citizens ?" in which he
stated that statistics prove that it does,
and that proper teaching will bring us to
be Il better class of citizens. Prof. Noet-
ling said that the way the most Of our
schools are taught it did not make good
citizens, and said that it was time we had
less old fogies and more young men and
women. The County Superintendent of
Montour county gave the teachers few
words of encouragement, and said he
hoped the next time to be able to say more.
Rev, Neiman then said that he thought
that the public schools were doing good
work. The whole programme was not
carried out, as the time was too short.
There was u little too much of particular
hobby among some of the speakers, and
not enough of liberal spirit,

Death of the Apostles Continued


Bartholomew laboring in concert with
st. Philip to plant Christianity in In
dia, so enraged the bigoted magistrates
that he was, together with st. Philip, de-
signed for martyrdom, and in preparation
of this, fastened to cross but their con-

took st. Bartholomew down from the cross
and set him at liberty, His last remove
was to Albanoplc, in Great Armenia, a
place miserably overrun with idolatry,
from which he labored to reclaim the peo-
Pile This provoked the magistrates, who
prevailed on the governor to put him to
death, which he cheerfully underwent,
sealing the truth of the doctrine he had
preached with his blood

leaving India, he travelled in several parts,
especially Ethiopia. However, after labor

opinion Is, that he was slain with an hal.

ST. THOMAS WAS MURDERED. St. Thomas
was pursued by the Brac hmans, and their
armed followers, While he was at prayer,
they first shot at him with a shower Of
darts, after which one Of the priests ran
him through with lance.
st. James the less was murdered by the
Scribes and Pharisees. They threw him
from the pinnacle on which he stood, into
the court below but not being killed on
the spot, he recovered himself so far as to
rise on his knees, and pray fervently to
heaven for his murderers. But malice is
too diabolcal to be pached with kindness,

enemies, vexed that they had not fully ac-
complished their work poured a shower OF
stones upon him, while he was implonnl
