The result ‘was the conferring of the diploma of the institution on three candidates, ‘who by the mastery of the principles, ‘forms and subtleties of musical construction as shown in their original productions, and the propriety of their renderings as exemplified in their selections were considered competent to receive ,that mark of distinetion.— These were Miss R. Gleason, of New York, Mr. H. K. Bechtel, of Pennsylvania, and N. A. Bouse, of Noble Co. \ Indiana.” ' ° o i

_FATAL ACCIDENT.—Mr. Adam Pon#ius, a farmer living two miles north of Bristol, lost his life yesterday in the following manner: He had been at work in his field during the noon, and in coming to the house’ﬂﬁ his dinner mounted one of his horges. ‘When. he reached the barn he étte:;m)ed to dismount, ‘biit in doing go became entangled fn the harness, which frightened the horse, causing it to run anay ‘dragging the unfortunate man on the ground totk:zﬂy half a mile before he broke loose.

But inasmugh a 5 the' whol® ‘matter il undergo & judicial investigation, 4 mere statement of the nefarious transaction must suffice, for'the present at least: °On Friday last, in obe~dience to the' dictates of a jGoshen lawyer named R.M. Johnson, Alex. McConnell and Wils Knappenberger, constituting themselves aTown Board, declared Wm. Hart “appointed” Trustee for the Fourth Ward to fill 1;1(1}? vacancy occasioned by the death ofiC. G. Vail—Messrs. Wandel and Wyland (an equal mumber) voting for:J.'C. Zimmerman: At .a subsequent-meet-ing, McConnell, Knappenberger and ‘Hart without legal authority “elected” E.J. Dodge, Yaney. B. Meredith and J. W. Mumma School Trustees, in the very face of the fact that Mr. Gerber has yet two years and Mr. Chapman ¢ne year to serve before their respective terms expire. ' The “new School ‘Board” organized on Monday by electing Yancy B. Meredith President, J. W. Mumma Secretary, and E. J. Dodge Treasurer. . As a matter of course, the old Board, consisting of Messrs. Gerber, Chapman and Scott, will declirfe to recognize the “modest claims” of the “new Board,” and continue to perform their duties until relieved as the law directs.

Steps have already been taken to frustrate the illegal and revolutionary schemes of the Rump Council, by instituting quo warranto proceedings against Hart. * Col. Johnson will find it up-hill b_usiness to justify the high; handed proceedings instituted by his mischievous advice. ] !

About three months before Mr. Pugh fell ill he was conversing with Hoon one day in regard to ecertain reminiscences of the Mexican war, and was in the act of relating an exciting incident when the convetrsation was interrupted by the entrance of a friend, and both the listener and the story-teller forgot all about: it until last Friday night. ‘lt then happén; ed that Mr. Pugh, reviving from a long stupor, beheld Mr. Hoon at his bedside, and in his delirium immediAately continned that story of the Mexican war, taking up the thread of the narrative from the point of interruption. Thus the tale was completed.”

ROCHESTER RIPPLINGS.

It is my most disagreeable duty this week to make mention of a crime which has been perpetrated in this usually quiet “burgh.” On Sunday, the 16th inst., a person, whose name we forbear mentioning, entered the dwelling of a lonely, unprotected wid- | ow and violently committed an out-“ rage upon her pérqon. His hasty departure for parts unknown ~prevented\ the arrest of this fiend incarnate and! the just retribution of his dastardly conduect. = _ .

. Some of the young men of our lo‘cality, brimfuliof fun, or deviltry, on . certain night, recently, entered the farm of a worthy citizen and abstract--ed therefrom some half-dozen geesé of a choice breed. But the granger discovering who the offenders were; promptly interviewed them, and the result was, the said young men of the “gay and festive” turn of mind gladly compromised the matter by contributing quite liberally to the financial resources of said granger, [ .~ Uncle Dan Amsden’s brick-kiln is now being fired, and in a week or twe the new brick will be making their appearance on the grounds of the Ligonier High School building, A new branch of industry has been opened up at this place, namely, the photograph gallery of Mr. Chas. Carter, who appears to be doing a thriving ‘business. 1

Mr. Rogers is building a new brick house for the Widow Harris. ~ The material is already 'on the ground and shortly the new structure will loom up in full view, adding another work of grace to our village. ¢ - The wheat crop is all harvested and the yield is much more prolific than was anticipated.

Messrs.

———— e &P— ST Great ¥Forepaugh Show.

Fov years, the rapid strides toward popularity made by this gigantie establishment: have alirmed all Mr. Forepaugh’s rivals inthe show business, and he stands to-day the confessed greatest and most extensive animal importer and exhibitor living. The number of his dens of wild beasts, birds and reptiles outnumbers, three-fold,: that of - any other ‘of the largest -establishments in the land, while his triple museum and classie moral circus are immense in proportions, and of a moral tone worthy, of direct imitation by the lesser exhibitors of the, country. The secret of Adam Forepaugh’s: tréemendons successes .is not hidden, but: is o plain that “he.who runs may read.” His big enterprise, overflowing with wholesome, moral and meritbrious attraction, carries with it more solid, convinecing weight, than any show on earth. Barnum hor any other manager ever gave such a full, elaborate and complete entertainment in this country, and the oldest show: people, everywhere, are the' first to come ’fdrward and bear cheerful witness.that the Great Forepaugh Show ‘has no parallel—that its like has never been known in the annals of amnsement on this ior ‘any other continent. =

_ The three enormous menageries Twe* even more than they pretend. Fifty odd goldencrusted dens and cages, with the statues of some historical personage of an -hundred years ago, molded 'in solid gold, on the corners, are filled with every animal known to natural historians. oy :

The Museum piesents more than its usual interest in new works: suggested by the ingenuity of man. - Its limpid streams of rippling water, well-known persons “dune ¥p” in wax or ‘marble; refreshing meadow. lands bestudded with wide-spreading trees, among the boughs of which flit sweet songsters-—a whole circus in, minia-ture--lovely bell-ringers, whose notes enrich the murical scene; an octave of mellow London chimes, and countless objects of pleasing wonders only tell of half the beauty and glory of this enchanting department. - ; Toward the organization of the ecircus Mr. Forepaugh has directed more than his usual attentiqn‘,and‘bar_e;&ld presents, for the edification - of his ten million friends, such an aggregation of arenic talent as can be.claimed by no other manager. sxol Y
