A SUNDAY EVENING INCIDENT.

Appropos to the season of the year
when all good young fellows are seeking
the company OF their prospective sweet
hearts, the following incident is said to
have occurred in our vicinity on a recent
Sunday evening. As the story goes, it is
related that verdent youth upon whose
face the first down of manhood's sturdy
growth has scarce made its appearance,
was making his initial call upon the quest
of his affections. Anticipating the rug
ged corners of formalitv which must be
overcome, he had paved the way by
carrying Herewith abundant supply
of sweetmeets, which will appeal to the
heart of most ofthe feminine sex. Things
were progressing smoothly until stray
Thomas cat whose curiosity led him to
investigate the recesses oftle house which
is an old one and quite ''ratty." Upon
entering the room where the young couple
were sitting MIR. Pussy took a location
Immediately underneath a table and all
efforts to dislodge him were fruitless. The
young man being equal to the occasion
grabbed the stove poker. The harder he
tried to dislodge Pussy the more stub
born the feline became. The youth poked,
Pussy growled and the girl screamed
and beat hasty exit. Despite most des-
perate endeavors the cat would not bulge
until finally fortunate blow from the
poker temporarily rendered the animal
hors de combat and the poor cat was
ANONYMOUSLY carried out by its tail, in
an unconscious condition The excite
ment however, broke up what might
have otherwise resulted in a successful
outcome oflove's young dream and the
young man misunderstanding vcngence
against the world in general and wander
ing pussies in particular.

It had three superintendent previous tC

erninently the glory of having takcr

small in numbers, poorly equipped and
inadepuatcly housed, and having brought
it by persistent effort, ndomita bic energy
and exceptional judgment to the very

this country as well as abroad.
"On entering upon his work as super

sufficiently completed to admit of the

the pupils had increased to 41-about
twice the enrolment at the time Mr..
Morrison took charge, four years before.
From this time forth the history of the
institution shows steady growth.
THE. high regard in which Mr.. Morri-

he has been director not only ofthc AS

dition of the Poor ard of the Charity Or

has twice visited Europe in the interest
of his profession, has served two terms
as president of the American Association
of Instructors of the Blind and was chosen
to represent that body at the Paris EN-

His keenness of insight, excellent judg-

high minded Scotch Presbyterians, whose
representative removed in 1877 to Penn
sylvania, where he took upextensivc land
along the Brandywine river, and was
the first of several generations of pros
porous and influential farmers. On his
mothers side he comes of an old English
family, one of whom, Anthony Morris,
came out to Philadelphia early in the
seventeenth century, where he and his
descendants figured very prominently i'll
the social and political life of what was
then the metropolis of the New World
Receiving his academic training at West
Chester, he taught for number of years
in the private and public schools OF his
native county. At the age of 10 he gave
up teaching to study law, but, being un-
able to pass the bar on account of his
well.known sympathy for the Confed-
crate cause, he came to Baltimore in SCI
and accepted the assistant superinten-
dency of the House of Refuge. where for
two years he was faithful and efficient
officer, resigning his position there only
to become a member of the faculty o
