Advertising.

Advertisements are made for the purpose Of
making the fact known that the advertiser has
certain wares to sell, and thereby to induce the
public 10 purchase; and so far it Is forthe ben
eft Of the seller. But there is another fact
which is equally certain, but not as generally
recognized, viz: that the purchaser Is also ben
Gifted. In the first place, the advertisement
Informs him where he can find tie ar icle
he wants, and lastly, it is almost inva-
riably the case, that the men who advertise the
most largely, will sell the cheapest. The same
spirit of enterprise which prompts a merchant
70 advertise, also prompts him to sell at IS
small Z profit as he can afford. in order to in
crease the amount of his sales. and to secure
she best paving customers. The smaller the
comparative profits Of n merchant, and the
chea,er he sells, the more cautious is he to sell
70 those who pay best, and consequently lac
loses less by bad debts than others who sell
few goods at high prices to doubtful men, and
who do not advertise at all.
Purchasers may feel morally certain that 1t
Is to their Interest, in almost every case, to buy
of those who advertise most literally. Those
who advertise most. sell the most; and those
who sell the most, can afford to sell the cheap
est.

the Death Of Rev. G. a. BoaTdman,
At The late meeting of the P~reshytery of

Since our last meeting. God in his Provi-
dence. has called from Us ouF venerable and
beloved brother, Rev. Charles \. Boardman.
of liberal views and enlarged experience, we
shall greatly feel the loss of his communion
and counsel. But his work. is done. For some
years past. the Master has been preparing him
for q higher sphere of christian and ministerial
fellowship. He has entered into his rest.
The Prcsbytcry acknowledges the wise and
gracious Providence which has bercft Us; and
rejoice in the assurance that our loss has been
his unspeakablc gain. We thank God for the
example Of those, whsthrolgh faith and rePen'
lance. have gone 90 inherit the promises. We
accent the admonition, as a call to do diligent-
Iy what our hands find to DO; considering that
our time is short; and rejoice in the prospect
of that rest which is prepared for all the labor

ResoIued, That the P~resLytery sympathis,

commend them 10 the fLithfulness of their COW

The Trumbull County Fair.

The next Annual Fair of the Trumbull Co.
Agricultural Society. occurs on Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday, Of next week. The large
addition made to the grounds, and the eommo-
dious extensive and substantial buildings cree
ted last year, have made the Trumbull County
Pair Grounds second to those of no county in
northern Ohio. The new track has been care
fully repaired, and Is now in excellent condi-
tion for the exhibition OF hOrses-and every
thing which could be done on the part of the
Society. has been done TO make the place both
attractive and convenient.
There is no question that this county is equal
to Glmost any in the state, in the quality and
quantity of its horses and cattle; and we pre-
sumo thas in this respect, the exhibition will
be ahead of that of any former year.
In Dairy Products. Trumbull County has no
superior. aud it is hoped that the farmers and
their wives will give the evidence OF this Fact
which they can so easily do.
The extraordinary rrOduetiveness of thepast
season, the great variety of fruits, grains and
vegetables which eau be exhibited, leads Us to
hope that in this as in other respects, the com
ing Fair will far exceed those which have Pre-
coded it. We know that the farmers of this
county have abundant means to accomplish
this end, and We are greatly mistaken, if they
lack the spirit.
Last. but not least. that part Of the exhibi-
lion which more than any other, gives attrac-
tiveness, viz the display of flowers, fancy
work, fine art., DC, in Floral Hall-dePends
entirely upon the ladies. There are no men
who have either the taste. the skill or the pa
thence necessary to the adornment of Floral
Hall, even if the flowers DC, were provided
for them, but the ladies have both the matcri-
aI;And the skill to arrange it, and il is to them
the public must look.

Correspondence {.
Teachers Of Music.

Ms. EpI10R For one who has an
ear for music, how sweet at the close of
day when all is still to listen to some ia
miliar voice or voices as they pour out
their grateful souls to God in songs Of
praise. Such harmonious sounds, as they
float out upon the air, fill our souls with
ecstaey and We would fain believe our
selves nearer Heaven. Not only on such
an occasion as this, and b. familiar vol
ces, does vocal music produce such gior-
Gus sensations, bat on various other occa-
sions, and more especially is it source
of qualification to listen to good church
singing. | say the heart of mankind
can be thus affected by the human voice
if properly executed, but mind We, |
shall not 20 on to say that this is always
the ease. | must confess that have, ere
now, been panied to my very heart while
listening to the singing OF some cholrs.
In some churches | have thought that
there had better be no singing at all than
have it performed in the manner Of some
choirs, for it certainly must be hard work
to preach after such singing, especially II
the speaker were in any degree sensitive.
Now believe there Is no reason in the
world why we cannot have good singing
in our churches; it certainly is an I'M
portant part of Sabbath worship and
believe a person can worship God as fer
vently in songs of praise, and 1t Is as ac-
ccptable to Him, as any other manner
It seems to me that if proper mea-
sures were taken, every society might
have a good choir OF singers. Now 1t Is
needless for me to say that the first and
most important step in this respect Is to
employ good teachers yet | believe that
too often we err in this respect, and Tor
