tions in reading and arithmetic
good, geography very good, and in
spelling fair. The advanced class
printed their lesson in spelling on
their states. The scholars sang sever
al good pieces, and also portion of
the multiplication table in good
style. Some of the scholars made
too much noise with their lips while
studying. Order good and room

present. The seats in this school
room are narrow benches, and are
very inconvenient. Some of the
lessons were good, while others were
not we'll committed. The scholars
passed a good examination in a part
of their studies, and in others a poor
one. Order not very good and the
most Of the scholars are in the habit
of asking too many questions and
talking too much during study hours,
and even while reciting a lesson.
1t is not necessary that few schol-
ars in large room, should keep as
still as though the school room was
filed with scholars, but l hope Miss
B. will cause her smart looking
scholars to study more, and talk
less. If the scholars get lonely and
tired of sitting on those narrow hard
benches let them have four short re-
cesse's instead of two long ones.

At Busti on Saturday asst, foot
race was run between "Hank" Som
mers, Of Busti, and "Dick' Van
Deusen, Of Sugar Grove. The dis
lance run was thirty-fve rods
"Dick won the race by about three
and one-half feet. The time made
was twenty-one seconds. The purse
was sixty dollars. Outside betting
was quite spirited-Busti backing
their man by about a thousand dol
lars. ''Dick," the winner, is a
brother to John Van Deusen, of
Jamestown who won a race a short
time since, run between himself and
Sam. Merriam of Wrightsville.-
Chatauqua Democrat.
We have long known Hank" to
be good boy but never supposed
him a s'fast' young man. 1t is
consoling however to know that
Dick is the "faster' boy of the two.
The time made would strip the lau-
re Is from many of the fast nags dis
played on the turf in this locality.
WHAT IT WILL Do.-The payment
of the national debt in greenbacks
will do these things
1t will stop $3.50, 900, 900 a year
in interest, that the people are now
taxed oppressively to pay.
1t will put an end to the whole in
ternal revenue income tax system,
with its immense army of detectives,
pimps, spies and informers, that are
now eating out the peoples sub
stance.
1t will put upon the income tax du-
plicate 81, 500, 100000 that is now
exempt from State and local taxa
ton, and which hereafter would D az
it's proper share of the burdens Of
the Government. This alone would
save the people between $75, 900, 900
and $50, 600, 600 each year.
1t would drive into business enterpri-
ses 50, 500, 600, 600 Of capital that
is now locked up. and is burden
instead of assistance to the masses
OF the country.
1t will put new life into business,
and make it lively, where it is now
dull, and by SO doing, in it's results,
add to the general wealth Of the
country.-Burlington Argus.

In placing before the public, DR. A. J..
WIGGINS' Pile Pills, we do SO with y
feeling of confidence that they are to supply
remedy which has long been required,
but hitherto been unattainable, nor do We
do so without first having thoroughly tested
their medical properties and ascertaincd
by actual practical demonstrations that
they will effect speedy and permanent
cures, and accomplish all VIC claim for them
and to satisfy the public that we are sin.
cere, we will warrant them to relieve or
permanently cure when taken strictly &C.
cording to directions, any case Of Blind,
Bile ding or Itching Piles, or
authorize the Druggist to refund tho money
paid for the Pills.
We do not claim for them that they will
cure ''prolapsus ami or fistula," rs those
diseases require careful and skillful sur
rical treatment but in such cases, no
matter how severe, they will afford great
and almost immediate relief. The few out
of the many hundreds Of certificates VIC
have, which we print below, will bear somc
evidence of their great curative powers
Any Of the parties whose names appear in
connection with the certificates arc willing
and will be glad to answer any commune
cation addressed to them in regard to their
cure.

DEAR PLAIN DEALER

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.
PARIS July %, 1867.
DEAR PLAIN DEALER:
l arrived here safely after tire.
some ride from Cherbourg. Oh
cvursr went TO the exposition, but
to tell the truth there is so much to
see there that it would take months
to examine everything. The Amer
leans as a general thing are not sat-
istied with our department.; they
think our country could be shown of
to better advantage. However I do
not think we have much cause of
complaint as | understand we took
nearly half the gold medals that
were awarded by the Imperial Com
mission appointed for that purpose
The King of Prussia was so much
pleased with one of our repeating
rifles that he asked for drawing of
it to be sent to his palace.
The Emperor visits the exposition
frequently and seems to take great
interest in it's success. The build
ing is a fine one for the purpose
and everything about it is kept in
perfect ORDER The police are nu-
merous and vigilent, indeed this
may be said of the whole Of France.
I was much pleased with the pic
ture galleries, ours is inferior to
naae, certainly in landscape paint
ing we far excel all others-some of
the finest paintings executed by
American artists | could net see,
nor do 1 believe they were there.
The American engines were far
superior to all others exhibited and
took the gold medals over ell COM
petitors.
Paris is surely the most beautiful
city in the world-and by far the
most immoral. The plays nightly
performed before crowded theaters
would not be tolerated upon the
American stage.
l visited many places of interest,
but can say nothing new in regard
to them. The people are excited
about the death of Macmillan and
speak of war &c. Admiral Farra gut
and many other American officers
are in the city.
Yours Truly,
IOWA.
PORTSMOUTH ENGLAND July 80, 81.
DEAR P
Probably you will think that l
did net stay at Paris long enough to
pay me for the trouble and expense
Of getting there. 1t is true l did
not stay as long as I should like to
have done but 4 or 5 days we'll
spent in Paris will give a person
some idea of the city and it's won
ders. On my way here I saw a fine
reception given by the French and
American fleets at Cherbourg and
the people of that city to the. EN-
press Of the French. She visited
some of the French ships and also
Admiral Farragut's flag ship the
"Franklin." There was great
quantity of powder burnt in firing
salutes &c. At night the ships Of
both fleets were beautifully illumin-
ated. In this the French excelled
as they had fully prepared them
selves for the occasion. Their
ships looked splendidly, indeed the
whole harbor presented as beautiful
a sight as | have ever seen. All
the ships manned their yards and
fired salutes when the En-
press came into the harbor in
her steam yacht. The heavy guns
of the Franklin could be easily dis
tinguished during the firing.
Portsmouth is business looking

1t affords me great pleasure in recon-
mending your justly celebrated PILE
PILLS to the suffering world as they GER
tainly do work wonders. The box that
procured of you was not one quareer used
when found myself entirely cured of one
Of the worst cases of bleeding piles. I
have many friends who can give fattcring
certificates of the worst cases cured by the
use of your pills. 1 might say much in
praise of your pills; but the trial of one,
box by any one afflicted in this way, will
make them stronger in the belief Of what
I have alread said.

MAxIMILIAN--It is rumored that Mr. Ro-
nero Mexican Minister at Washington, has
given positive assurance to Mr.. Seward,
that the life of Macmillan shall be spared,
solely in Difference to the desire Of the Uni
ted States government; and that the Cabinet
of Juarez viii solicit the United States to
proclaim through Congress, that any furth
er attempts on the part of royal adventures
or filibYsters from Europe to interfere in the
affairs Of any nation on this continent will be
considered AN act Of hostility against this
government. and promptly resisted by diplo-
macy or war This new phase Of Mexican
affairs shows that Juarez depends on the
Washington Cabinet to aid him in restoring
a strong government in Mexico and to put
down the factions which are at present COM
paratively weak in that country. It is, how
ever, considered likely that Macmillan will
remain in prison till his release and exile
can be justified by public necessity He will
not be banished for some time, for his pres
ence in Europe might enable him, in any one
of the numerous revolutions of which Mexico
is the theatre, to force himself again upon the
people Of Mexico as their Emperor - WASH

TIE CONSOLIDATION OF THE ORANGE AND
ALEXANDRIA AND MANASSAS GAP RAIL
RoADs.-We are enabled to announce that a
speedy consolidation of the above named
roads is now confidently anticipated. A
meeting of creditors holding the mortgage
bonds Of the Manassas Gap Railroad Com
pany was held in this city yesterday, and a
proposal submitted on their part to the Or
ange and Alexandria Railroad Company, by
the terms Of which the present bondholders
agree to surrender the bonds now held and
accept in lieu of them the bonds of the con-
solidated company at prescribed rate
This rate is estimated at 90 per cent. Of the
amount of the pricipal and interest now due,
and the proposal has been favorably acted
on by the authorities of the Orange and AL.
exandria Railroad Company, and will go in
to effect at an early day. This arrangement
will ensure the transfer Of the Manassas
road to the Orange and Alexandra Railroad
Company, who will at once take control,
and commence the work of rebuilding the
road to Harrisonburg. alexandria Ga
zette.

From Mexico.

New YoRK, June 4.-Thc New York
Herald has special from San Luis Potosi
the 2Sth May, which says that Juarez rejects
the terms proposed by Macmillan at his in
terview with Escobedo. When Escobedo was
notified of this rejection he placed Maximil-
ian, Mejia and Miramon in separate cells and
doubled the guard over them. The letter
expresses little hope for Maximilian's ssfe-
ty.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-Senor Rome 70,
the Mexican Minister. has letter dated
Yacubaya, May 26th, signed Por6rio Diaz,
which says that in few days he will have
thirty-fye thousand troops, including nine
thousand cavalry, when he will attack Mex
leo city, 'and none will escape. He could force
the city with his present force, but lacks
cavalry to guard the avenues Of escape
Diaz concludes thus: ''Whcn you shall
have received this letter the soil of Mexico
will already have been cleared Of traitors"

4 MOTHER VERY IMPORTANT NO

A MOTHER VERY IMPORTANT NO
~ TTCE TO THE AGENTS OF STONE
BRAKER'S MEDICINES.
Having observed in the sHagersrown Mail" as
well as other newspapers, that Messrs. CLOT
WORTHY CO., of Baltimore, Wholesale
Drug House, have published a Card to Agents
of Stonebrakers Medicines deem it due to the
Agents of these popular Medicines to publish an
other. The card of CLOTWORTHY & CO., is an
ingenious affair, and is calculated to be mischiev-
Gus. They state that am not authorized to re-
ceipt for any money due Stonebraker, Hoffman Il
Co.. leaving the inference that am doing SO,
which is not the fact They also state that {" old
Agencies will be supplied by wagon as hereto
fore" and that applications for Agencies will
receive prompt attention" This wording is very
ingenious and gives out the impression that Clot-
worthy & Co., are manufacturing my medicines.
This they have no right to do-they can sell off
the stock that Stonebraker, Hoffman Co., had
on hand at the time of the dissolution, but they
have no right to manufacture, neither have they
the genuine receipts to do SO. Any attempt to
manufacture is a violation of the U. s. Patent
Laws and is spurious. Agents are cautioned in
reference to this ingenious card and advised to
send their orders to me at 81 Camden street, Bal
timore, where am manufacturing the genuine
articles, and where will be prepared to supply
all demands after the 9th day of June next.
