take the liberty to send you samples
Of the mineral now being discovered
near this place. 1t has been believed
for years that lead ore in paying
quantities existed somewhere in the
bluffs here. There are now five men
digging, and the result so far has
been mineral same size in small
chunks similar to these samples. /
send you these that the attention of
miners may be called to the matter,
and to induce more experienced mis-
ners to come aud prove it. It is
about a mile and quarter from the
village to the diggings.

ny '67, have been very liberal, shows
ing that our appeals to friendly pat
rons have been quite generally re-

aud so much for cherished public
confidence.
We have raised near half the sum
needed for the promised HERALD Of

enlargement of the HERALD to an
eight column paper, the purchase of a
power printing press to cost 81, 900,
news and jobbing' type, $500, and
other fixtures of considerable ex-
pense. We have already purchased
a large amount of new stock and
jobbing type, about $500, in view of
doing better and cheaper work. We
hope to raise $500 to ST., 900 more on
accounts, and then must depend on

Group.

In the early part Of spring many
children die Of Group. In only forty
eight hours it may carry achild from
perfect health to the grave. 1t orig
mates in cold, and in majority of
cases, is the result Of exposure to
dampness, either Of the clothing or
Of the atmosphere.
Halls Journal of Health says they
should be kept as warmly clad, at
leas; until May, as in the depth of.
winter they should not be allowed
Ito remain out of doors later than SUM-
down, when they should be brought
into warm room, their feet exam
ined and made dry and warm, their
suppers taken and then sent to bed,
not to 60 outside the doors until next
morning after breakfast. During
February, March, and until the mid
die Of April, especially when snow
is on the ground, children under
eight years of age should not be al
lowed out Of doors at all later than
four o'clock in the afternoon, unless
the sun is shining or unless they are
kept in bodily motion SO as to keep
off feeling of chilliness. The COM
monest sense dictates the instant
sending for a physician in case of an
attack from Group, but the momenta
messenger is dispatched, have three
or four fannels dip them 10 water as
hot as your hand can bear, and apply
them successfully to the throat Of
the child, hot all the time so as to
evaporate the matters, which, if re-
tanned, causes the clogging up inside
which soon stops the breath. Hot
water should constantly be added to
that in which the fiannels are thrown,
SO as to keep it all the time hot.
Keep the water from dribbling on
the clothing of the child, and see to
| it that the feet are dry and warm.
Most likely the child will be out of
danger before the physician arrives,
and it is pleasant to be able to turn
over the responsibility on him. Loose
cough, freer breathing, and copious
discharge of phlegm indicate relief
and safety.

BY J. q. WHITTIER.


No bird song floated down the Hill,
The tangled bank below was still.
The dusk of twilight round us grew.
We felt the falling of the dew;
For from US, ere the day was done,
The wooded hills shut out the sun.
But on the rivers farthest side,
We saw the hill tops glorifed-
A tender glow exceeding fair.
A dream of day without its glare.
With us the damp. the chill, the gloom,
With them the sunsets rosy bloom
While dark through willowy vista seen
The river rolled in shade between.
From ont the darkness where we trod
We gazed upon those hills OF God,
Whose light seemed not Of moon orsun
We spake not but our thought was one.
We paused, as if from that bright shore
Beckoned our dear one gone before;
And stayed our beating hearts to hear
The voices lost TO mortal ear
Sudden our pathway turned from night,
The hills swung open to the light;
Thro' their green gates the sunshine shove
A long, slant splendOr downward flowed
Down glade and glen and bank it rolled.
1t bridged the shaded stream with gold;
And borne on piers of mist allied
The shadowy with the sunlight side I

The river dark with mortal fear,
And the night cometh, chill with dew,
o, Father let the light shine through y
SO let the hills of doubt divide.
SO bridge with faith the sunless tide
SO let the eyes that fall on earth
On thy eternal hills look forth
And in thy reckoning angels know
The dear ones whom we love below
