A PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT AT
HARDWOOD SEMINARY.


The Athenean Society entertainment,
held at Harwood Seminary, last Thursday
evening, was highly appreciated by the
large audience present. The program was
an excellent one and well rendered. The
young ladies acquitted themselves credit
ably. as the well pleased audience gave
evidence by hearty applause. The music
was very pleasing feature.
The salutatory by Miss Adelina Gibbes,
was an introductory couched in choice
language. interspersed with bits of humor,
aBdin composition was complimentary TO
the bright mind ofthe fair reader.
The debate, Shall we have eo-educa-
ton p was spirited and able. The affirm.
alive was espoused by Miss Linda Nc Kin.
ney and Miss May Gober. Miss Gober
being absent, her argument was read by
Miss Mabel Cortelyou. The negative was
championed by Miss Dovie Blair and Miss
Marielle Nesbitt. The papers read by
these young ladies were productions OF
merit, showing thought, research and care
full preparation. They reflected credit
upon each participant .They were evenly
matched in strength Of argument, and the
judges, Messrs. Clay, Blair and Neal, had
difficulty in reaching decision, but they
gave it to the negative, rather than make a
"mistrial"
The recitation Of Miss Rosa Wing, the
President OF the society, was charmingly
rendered. Her enumeration is clear and
pleasing. 1el aD 81

Whereas, The falling off Of the

BILE in providing the means for meet
ing the necessary expenses, and has
already made it obligatory upon the
officers and directors to postpone
indefinitely the purchase Of any
more new books; therefore,

of the association be and is hereby
called to meet in the Library Rooms
on Thursday evening May 9th, 1891,
to take into consideration the condi-
ton of the association, and deter
mine the question whether any
scheme is practicable for increasing
our income, and if not, then to take
measures tor the fina. closing up Of
the Library and the disposition Of
the property.
Resolved, That new members may
be received, until the general meet
ing in May next, on payment Of one

Indiana has just settled a YER,

Indiana has just settled very
curious lawsuit about a COW. Some
time ago, when a Goshen farmers
cow was killed by an engine, he
brought suit for damages against the
Lake Shore Railway Company,
which entered a counter claim for
damages to the engine, which was
dismantled almost as much as the
cow was, and the supreme court has
just awarded the railway company a
verdict for SIS and costs amounting
to over $1,000, to say nothing of the
lawyers fees. Suing railways in
Indiana is not very profitable at that
rate.

escaped. So we not only have little
protection against undesirable i'm

CRIME IN NEW YORK CITY.

New York city claims. on grounds which
carry conviction to the minds of its own citi-
zens. and which are admitted TO be very
strong by the people Of America in general,
to be the most civilized community in the
United States. If we consider its population
and its wealth. its magnificent public build
ings, business structures and private resi-
dences, all that infinite variety of striking OBJ
jects which make up its physical character,
and those commercial advantages which give
it such emnence in all the financial centres Of
the world. its claim to superiority among our
American cities cannot he questioned from q
number OF points Of view.
But in one aspect it seems TO be inferior TO
cities very much smaller in size. and much
less entitled to consideration for purely fnan-
cial reasons. Nowhere is crime more openly
committed or TO such an extent. In such
community as New York. with the greatest
diversity of interests and a population most
heterogeneous and representing in such num-
bers every condition of life, it is quite natural
that crime should flourish. but that il should
prevail in the proportion which has been re-
Gently observed cannot be attributed TO lax
ness in the prevention and detection Of crimi-
nal acts. On Monday alone there were three
suicides and six murders under circumstances
that invested the act with peculiar helnous-
ness.
The adoption Of electrocution as means
of dlsposing of capital offenders does not ar-
pear to have exercised the slightest influence
in restraining the murderous tendency Of the
criminal classes in New York. On the con-
trary, if the new law has had any influence
at all. It has rather increased than diminished
the murderous instincts Of these classes.
During the last few days it is not an exag-
geration 10 say that there has been a carnival
of crime in New York. although not less than
six criminals are awaiting execution by the
new method. 1t is 10 be hoped that the legal
machinery of that great city will operate
somewhat more effectively in the future than
it has been recently doing, and that the dis
grace of its contemporary criminal record will
be wiped out by the sterner enforcement of
the law

OF their Export Brsiodce. which is a fine table
beverage. 1t is fully ripe. having lain in
storage over half "a year; all of its ingredients
are pure. sound and wholesome, and the pro-
duct is confidently offered to consumers who
have sought for this very thing in different di-
rections The brewage is elegantly put up in
quarts, champagne-like and size, fastened
with the Champion cork retainer. which pre-
vents the accumulation OF disagreeable par
ticles, such IA rusty wire, dirt, rotten Irvine,
etc. Each bottle bears the date of brewage
and bottling, and every quart is guaranteed

The idea OF manufacturing beer which
could be honestly claimed as pure was mooted
and fully discussed by our practical agents
and brewmaster over two years since; and
after over eighteen months continued expert
ment a report was made ~ the managers that
not only could il be, but that it had been,
