A CAUTION TO DRINKING You've MEN
An old lady, resident of neighboring
place, kept large family of turkeys, per-
haps sixty. She, like a great many other
people, thought a great deal OF her turkeys
consequently valued them very highly.
Opposite her was large West India goods
store. The man one day emptied his casks
of cherries, intending to replace them with
new. This old lady, being economical,
thought'it great pity to have them saved,
she would just drive over her turkeys and
let them eat them. In the course of the
day the old lady thought she would look
after them and see if they were into mis-
chief. She approached the yard, and 10!
in one connei', lay her turkeys in one huge
pile, dead. Yes, they were stone dead.
What was to be done? Surely the old
matron could not lose the feathers She
must pick them. She called her daughter
and picked them, intending to have them
buried in the morning. Morning came,
and behold there were the turl:cve stalk:
ing about the yard, featherless eloa2:i. ee

ing, no doubt, mortite1a that their drunken
fit had been the means oflosing their coats.
Poor things it they had said "quit' before
they began they would not have been in
this bad fix. We would advise all young
men who are in the habit Of drinking to
leave offbefore they get picked, and to
those who donot, let every young lady say
say "ouit"-Alnbama PZaneer.

that, until such time as the court may fix

Baptist Church Festival.

The congregation Of the Colum-

giving a Festival at the City Hall,
on Thursday evening, June 18th,
for tho benefit Of their church,
This will be in the height Of the
strawberry season, of which the
signs are unusually promising; and
from the energy manifested by the
parties engGged in getting up the
affair, with the unequaled facili-
ties at their command. the public
may expect an entertainment sur
paused in excellence by none ever
offered in this city. 1t should be
borne in mind, also, that this con-
gregation has not before, for Pc
riod OF ovcr ten years, asked the
favors Of the public in their pat
ronage of a similar enterprise, and
we trust the one now contemplated
may receive such support from
citizens, both of town and country,
as will make the affair q grand and
gratifying success.

Base Ball.

Below we give the score of the
second match game played by the
Nemean Club OF Lancaster. The
game was witnessed by q large
crowd ofspectators, a great portion
of whom were ladies. The playing
was remarkably equal, both sides
experiencing about the same pro-
portion of all luck" and showing
nearly equal specimens of good
play. The "felding," in general,
was better than the "batting," in
spite OF the sunshine which came
full in the faces of the field men,
and the game was put through with
extraordinary rapidity, the beating
nine having during its course had
two innings without a round, and
the other nine ono of the same

Teachers Of Fairfield ana dUoln'ng
C0antisS:--
The Lancaster Nor.
NAL Institute will commence its
Fourth Session, July 18th, and con-
tinue four weeks, followed by the
Fairfield County Teachers lnsti'
tute, to continue one week, max
ing, in all, season Of five weeks.
We are gratifed to learn that
thero is an Increasing demand for
these educational facilities. Eve
ry successive year the attendance
at the Normal School and lnsti.
tute is larger. Last season Ninety,
five Teachers attended the former,
and over one hundred the latter.
Teachers, lot US make the gather
ing much larger this year. We es.
pecially look for the return of those
who hare been attending, who can
appreciate tho advantages Of such q
season Of drill and culture, and who
cah, with their present experience,
contribute largely to the efficiency
of the School and Institute. Let
those who will attend for the first
time diligently study the different
branches before coming, be posted
up as we'll as possible. BY this
means more attention can be given
TO Methods of instruction and DiSct-
pline, and the Normal feature mole
fully carried out.
Since the season will be one week
shorter than before, we earnestly
ask all TO be present at the begin
ming. If this advice be followed,
and then every exercise be subor-
dinated TO the great leading OBJ
Iiects of Normal Institute, viz: to
quicken every power, to impress
with correct views and feelings,
and to show how to teach and gov
ern: more may be accomplished in
five, than formerly in six weeks.
A number Of competent Teach
ers and Lecturers will be employ
ed, and nothing left undone that
can render the course a success.
Ample arrangements will be
made to secure good boarding at
reasonable rates; and no pains will
be spared to provide for the social
features usually expected at such
times.
Further notices will .be given
f, and circulars distributed.
Teachers, make up your minds
no,o, to do something for yourselves
and your calling. Come yourselves
and bring others with you.
