We take the following items from
the Express:
FINED.-Last week, George Hyde,
hotel keeper at West Derby was
prosecuted for selling liquor. He
appeared before justice Lane, plead
guilty and paid one fine and costs,
about $500 in all. We learn that
some ladies were instrumental in
bringing about the prosecution. Per-
haps the ladies in some other places
might do likewise and meet with like
success.
This forenoon Joshua Norris, of
West Derby, was arraigned before
Justice Lane on complaint for drunk
enness and for disturbance of the
peace, on Friday last. He plead
guilty and was fined S. and cost on
each complaint, $50 in all.
CHoKED TO DEATH.-A very bright
and interesting child of Elisha B
Fairchild, of West Derby, about eight
years old, died very suddenly last
Wednesday afternoon She had q
small sized dress button in her mouth
and while talking, the button Slipped
down her throat, lodging there il
such a manner as entirely to preven
respiration, and before medical as
sistance could be procured she wa,
past all hope of recovery.
The "Mountain Maid" commenced
running her regular trips this morn

poor, hard working woman, who late
ly died there at the age of 81, had a

the singular contents of her collection

Their than to advance in morals, though
we must own grand stride forward
in securing political and national pros
perity and equal rights to all, but have
not these been secured at the expense
of public virtue? If so, has the con-
sideration been commensurate with
the outlay? We hope we are not a
croaker to prophesy evil, nor yet a
cynic to growl at the works of others.
May what now appear to be the evil
days of our country, our generation
and the church of God, prove but the
prelude to the breaking up of old sys-
tens, old errors, and the burial of the
dead past. .r.-..

The ABYssINIAN WAR-New York,
May, 9.-The Herald's Magdala cor
respondent, writing the 18th of April,
says the King was buried in Magdala
church. The young Prince Theodore
goes to England to be educated, and
Gobdzye, the chief who assisted Ma
pier, is to be crowned king. Three
other specials, dated 10th, 18th and
18th of April, delayed two weeks on
the route, give graphic picture of
the fight on the 10th. When the
English came in view the enemy were
in grand array. The fight was open
ed with mortars, and soon after $500
Abyssinians with shouts and trium-
phal songs dashed down the hill and
charged the British batteries. They
were repulsed, leaving 700 killed On
the field, including two chiefs. The
enemy's tactics and courage were
good. The King sent a flag of truce
to Gen. Napier asking for peace
Gen. Napier replied that his terms
were unconditional surrender" The
King replied that he never would &C.
cept arbitrary terms; he would rath-
er fight, but asked Gen. Napier to
take the English prisoners and go
away hence. All the prisoners were
released, but the King refused to sur.
render himself, and Magdala was
stormed by the English. The King
tried to commit suicide three times.
The captives say that they saw 800
native prisoners killed On the 9th of
April.

A young man in Michigan dreame,

A young man in Michigan dreamed
that he went to Fremont, Ohio, and
married a pretty girl whom he had
never seen before, and acting on his
mothers advice, he packed his trunk
and started for Ohio. He searched
two days in Fremont without seeing
the face he had seen in his dream, and
then he saw it in the post-ofice, told
his story, popped the question, re-
ceived an affirmative answer at once,
was married next day, and took his
bride back to Michigan. Romantic

post of $4,000 was made last even
ing on wager that Weston will walk
from Bangor, Maine, to St. Paul, Min
nesota, and return to Buffalo, New
York, making in all 5000 miles, to

cutive days. The feat is to be done
for wager of $4,000 side-in
all $4,000 A purse of $4,000 is

daily in order to win. He will have
to walk one hundred miles inside of
twenty-three consecutive hours five

Noticing the diligent effort made
In certain quarters and by interested
parties to puff the trees from New

parage those sold i'll this county and

act of justice, and to guard the resi-.
dents of this county from imposition
to cry out upon the folly of such talk.
Experience in this matter cannot he
disputed. As the result of their own
experience and observation the sub.
scribers feel that it is due to the in.
terests of Orleans County, and to
the Messrs. Bryant, who have taken
such pains to furnish the best var
cites of hardy, acclimated, and choice
fruit trees, that they should commend
the trees Of the Derby Nursery as in
their Judgment every way preferable
to the uncertain trees sold by ire.

TnE TEMPLE OF CnLDHooD.-The
temple of childhood has tbreo gates of
entrance First, the hearts second,
Imagination; and third, the reason.
The heart is the first TO open, If you
would ill that temple with light and
Joy. Through the heart u child may
be impressed and taught long before
any other entrance can be made to it's
soul. Through the heart the inspira-
ton must pass which can awaken the
mind, and unfold its leaves OF thought
and understanding. Next, the imag-
nation wakes; and If we do not pass
that gate with light and holiness, and
beautfy il, while we adorn the tenn
pie within, some one else will pass il
and defile the temple. Enlightcn,
nourish, gladden. the imagination OF
childhood with truth and beauty from
the Bible, and from all noble lilo, from
history and story, and the main gates
will be secure, and tho temple shine
with brilliant lights. Afler that, as
childhood advances, open the gate OF
reason, cultivate the mind through
the heart and Imagination, and your
teaching and culture will succeed,
