Mr.. EDlToR: l have been silent for some
time, but feel able for SIX items more.
such as they are.
|. A gel era saluiation to all your Cor
respondents. Glad to hear from them all,
and feel quite exuiant over Y L. C.'s in
formation, that the enemy has had one bat
terry considerably disabled. Hope to hear
more of it soon True Temperance friends,
don't get discouraged, but fight braveiy and
the'victory will be oa7s. Dash the poison

the impending e,il. Point i'm the
error of his ways, ind plead wi |. to re-
turn; cease not to labor for his g., ,ever
be discouraged. but labor faithfully till the
victim is redeemed from the enemy. Rustic,
Fan, and Edith are right on this and shall
ever have my aid and my prayers for their
success Hurrah. for he Temperance host!
March brsvely onward.

Gene in this vicinit. and from what ha
been manufscturei /. promises an abundan
yield of the vory hest of syrup. Mr. Jno
Wilson of this place has made about twentr
gallons Of syrup, that is superior to an,
stesmed-syrup that ha e ever seen. On
evidence of its excell,Ago is the create

5. Since my last, have been considerin
the propriety of dispensing with our presel
cOrthography, and adopting the more phil
sophie and systematic spelling Of Il
Phonetic Alphabet. By its use at least on
halfof the time now required for childre
to learn TO read would be saved, and the
enunciation and articulation would be mol

Parents TO this excellent, philosophic, sy

the English Language TO the age. 1t is
time-and-labor-saving system.
