W. P. Wyer gold medal prize for the best
oratory on commencement night, was unani-
mously awarded by the iudges-Dr. ID. ).
Hebb, Judge l.. P. Slingluff and Senator +.
j. Bennett-to Mr.. Thomas j. Cross, of Phil
adelphia.
Judge Shngluff, President of the Board of
Trustees, rose from his chair on the stage and
uttered few earnest words, which he SAID he
was sure voiced the sentiments of the COM
munity with regard to the public appreciation
of the untiring and successful labors of DIR.
and Mrs. Jelly in raising our New Windsor
College to its present wonderful prosperity
and high standard, surpassed by none and
eaualled by few similar institutions IN our
state. He then proposed a vote OF thanks to
Dr. and Mrs Jelly, and the immense audience
rose. and there was loud and prolonged clap
ing of hands.
The contributions of flowers, books and
banks of other presents, including gold
watches and magnificent set of diamond ear
drops, which cost $3.50, were beyond all pre-,
cedent The benediction was then pronounced
By Rev. DIR. Jelly, and the immense audience
retired with the feeling that the commence
ments of the Twin Colleges increase IN
interest and grade from year to year. How
true the saying that Nothing succeeds like
success"

The joint town disaster was terrible enough,
but there was no such destruction of life and
property, as was first reported. The number
of people drowned will never be known pro
badly. but will not exceed 1900, instead OF
Ii, 600, as reported; and the destruction OF
property will not be near as great as was
stated. The Cambria Steel Works were not
much damaged, and the evidences of the flood
are scarcely to be seen around the works.
The Company have started again, aud will
soon give employment to six thousand hands
The buildings in Johnstown and neighbonng
villages in the Conemaugh Valley, except the
manufactures, were mostly of a very ordinary
character, the majority being cheap frame
houses, and the opulation of the valley
did not exceed thirty thousand, whereas 1t
was first reported 10 be $4,000. The popula-
ton of the whole county of Cambria Is not
over 10000, and the country is wild and
rugged, and its assessed value is not half that
of our own county.

A House Divided.

Temperance is one Of the christian graces.
It would be well if all men were temperate
in all things. But some are Unexpectedly
temperate, and will tolerate no opinions but
their own. Hence the house is divided against
itself, and there is contrariety OF views as to
the best means of serving the temperance
cause.
In the beginning ofthe temperance agitation
the pledge prohibited ardent spirits only
Then came the total abstinence pledge forbid
ding as a beverage not only the stronger M
toxieants, but beer, wine and cider. Some
adherents of temperance run-mad reiuseo
even the wine at communion. In the early
DAYS of the reform, temperance societies met
regularly and had addresses upon the subject
from public speakers, in order to persuade
men. But in later times they looked to leg
;slation to do the WORK. Local option was
resorted to and legal restraint imposed by
restrictive license. The local optionists
ostracised all temperance men who did not
believe in local option. II was found that
statutory prohibition did not prohibit, and so
the idea of constitutional amendment obtain
ed. to be submitted to vote of the people.
That Is the form of the question submitted to
the voters in several states during the current
year. But the voters have so far tabooed 1t
81 effectually, that auotheridea begins to sup
plant constitutional amendment Inns Is
b:eh license. This, like all its forerunners'
will have its day and fail.
What, then, should temperance people 40
TO suppress this great evil? We answer,-go
hack to first principles. Go back to the prae,
ice of assembling the people together, ana OF
addressing them and teaching them the evils
Of ;ntemperance. Instruct the youth to be
temperate ia all things, and so gua'd the N
AGAINST the evils Of the habit Of strong drink.
Create a public sentiment against IT. ana
persuade men, instead Of attempting to drive
them into sobriety by legal enactment. There
is no other feasible way to make men tenn
nerate. Enlighteu their minds and appeal to
their Judgment and their hearts and con
sciences. We have high example TOR TINS
course. How did the Crest Exemplar Of
mankind establish his church upon the earth
He did not ask for legislation, but eommis'
stoned his followers to preach the word'
..warning every man, teaching every man IN
all wisdom. that they might present every
man perfect.m If there is any better way
than this. if there is as good a way to make
men moral and temperate, the temperance

In every Southern State there are rival
factions in the Republican party, and each
claims to be the genuine simon pure article
Representatives Of each have besieged the
President and Cabinet officers since the 4th
ofMarch, extolIing their own merits and claims
for Office and picturing the worthlessness OF
their rivals. The fact is, nearly the whole
lot is a sorry set of carpet baggers, scalawags
and negroes, representing nothing OF much
real value on the face of the earth, aud whose
whole interest is centered in office holding.
To fill the Offices Mr.. Harrison must select
from one of these factions, and then all the
others will abstain from voting or vote the
Democratic ticket If he divides the sPoils
among all, he will fare no better, for then
the most Of all factions will sulk. Without
the hope of office there would be no white
Republicans in the South, and the negroes
would scatter politically. With no rewards
there would be no Republican party.
