Prof. MagiIi's Lecture.

The Lecture delivered by President Ma
gill, Of bwarthmore college, at Normal
hall, last week, Wednesday evening, was
well attended. The speaker was intro.
duced by Prof Waller, and entertained
his audience for more than an hour with
good, practical, common sense talk on the
subject of education. The title of his lee
ture was "The Advantages Of Modern
College Course" and he strongly urged the
necessity of young men taking thorough
course of study, including the languages.
1t is mistake for a father to think that
because he has been successful in business
or profession, his son does not need any
better opportunities than he himself had
when u boy. Times have changed, The
boys of forty years ago were not thrown
in contact with college graduates as they
are now, as men of thorough education
were not so numerous then. A man with
common school education may now
make reputation for himself in some one
of the learned professions, but If he had
had the advantages Of collegiate training
he might have done far better with much
less labor. "Know something of every
thing, and everything of something" the
speaker said was a good motto. 1t is a
mistake to think that a boy who intends to
engage in business does not need a college
education. While he may not have occa-
sion to put into practical use the specific
knowledge he acquires at college, the
mental training he receives strengthens his
| judgment, cultivatcs the memory, qulckens
his perceptions, and enables him to grasp
inteligently all matters that may arise in
business life.
The lecture was repeated at Millville on
Thursday evening to an audience of over
four hundred people
Prof Magiil is a prominent educator and
he is thoroughly interested in the great
work he has in hand.

The committee to whom was referred the
resolution relative to the death If General
W. s. Hancock, beg leave to report as
follows:
Resolved, That the death of General Han
cock is a national calamity; but the history
and lesson of his life are legacy to his
counlrymen which they can all share, and
to which addeo years could not have CIV
en- additional value or lustre.
As a patriot, with proInptitude which
made the gift doubly valuable, he offered
his life to his country. AS soldier he
obeyed with alacrity ard hearty concur
renee. AS commander he was ever in
the fore front of the battle, and where he
was, there was alsc the banner of victory.
In his civil administration of wide, dis
| tracted and turbulent military department,
the highest and finest qualifications of IA
soldier and civilian displayed themselves
| and illustrated his genus for Government,
AS well as his respect for the law and the
| Constitutional rights of the citizen.
| His glorious record in Mexico is known
to history and after the battle of Williams
burg the initial victory on the Peninsula
well might Mcclellan report to President
| Lincoln "HaacOck was superb to.day,"
Gettysburg and New Orleans are the mil
itary civil Jewels of Gen. Hancock, and
they are set in and made still more glorious
by the crown of a spotless private life.
Resolved, That these resolutions be placed
among our records; that "a copy for public
alton be rendered our town papers, and
that Sopy be sent to the bereaved widow

II was nearly ten o'clock last Friday
night when Bauer's Orchestra of Scranton
struck up the Grand March in the dining
room of the Exchange Hotel. Shortly
afterwards the head of the column of fair
madens and gallant young men appeared,
and the ball was opened. All of the
ladies were elegantly attired and num-
Der OF exquisite toilets were displayed.
Handsome programmes with silk fringe
edges, and with pencils attached by slken
cords, were handed each couple as they
entered the salon, and it did not take long
to fill them up with the dance engagements
tor the evening. The orchestra consisting
of seven pieces furnished excellent music,
and while the supper 1ables were being ar
ranged at eleven o'clock, they played some
fine selections in the parlor. The supper
was gotten up in a style that elected the
appreciation of all present, and the tables
were handsomely decorated. All the ar
rangements about the house were so adj
mirably adjusted by Mr. and Mrs. Tubbs
that the party was just as select and pri-
vate as it would have been possible to
make it at a private residence.
There were 35 couples present and al
together it was one of the most enjoyable
parties held here for many years.
Those in attendance from out of town
were Miss Hattie Kramer of Lock Haven,
Miss Stella Sicker of Tunkhannock, Miss
