DEAR SIR-I have the pleasure to acknowl-
edge the receipt of yours of the Goth instant,
with check for One Hundred Dollars, dona-
ton from Messrs Bickford & Huffman, of
Macedon N. Y, to the Augusta County Fair.
The. enlightened liberality shown by these
gentlemen in the process of industrial Recon
struotion is ereditable alike to their good feel
lngs and their sagacity, and l doubt not they
will meet with such appreciation and success
among our people as are due to those who come
to help us on terms consistent with Just equal
lty and mutual respect a6 l'if s1-fsa
The Augusta County Fair, as its name i'm
ports, has for its primary object the develop
ment OF the natural and industrial resources of
our county. AS the most efficient means of
promoting that development, we wish to at
tract to our Fair and if practicable to locate
and appropriate the best products and the best
people Of all parts of our country.
Please make known to Messrs. B. & H. our
high appreciation of their friendly interest, and
say to them that we will be most happy to
welcome them to our first Fair on the 9th,
2Sth and 29th Of October 1868. p.
l am sir, very respectfully, 1
Yours truly, 1927 a

Reasons for Attending Church.

1t is favored place. Come where our
Creator delights to meet his creatures, and be-
stow upon them the choicest blessings.
tits a house of prayer. Come and join your
fellow, citizens In pouring your supplication be-
fore the throne OF grace.
1t is the house praise. "Come and "give
the Lord the glory unto his name" Let us
together give thanks to the Parent of all
good
1t is the house Of mercy Come and confess
your sins before the Lol d with hearty purpose
to torsake them, that you may receive forgive
ness. .4.t..t.
1t IS the house OF consolation. You, with US,
are exposed to the Affections, disappontments
and sorrows of life We invite you to the house
OF the Lord, that you may be ''comforted in all
your tribulations;' that you may learn how to
esteem them as Eight Affections which endure
but for moment, yes, how they may be even
converted to the richest blessings.
1t is the house of religious Instructions 1t
has pleased God by the foolishness of preach
ing to save them that believe" Come and hear
the Gospel, that you may become wise unto
salvation"
1t is the house of sacred influence. A con-
slant attendance at the sanctuary tends power
fully to restrain from vice, to confirm good re-
solutions, to cultivate habits of industry and
economy, and therefore leads to more even of
temporal prosperity.
Perhaps you are parents these sacred in
fuences are needed to render your children in
telligent, virtuous and happy ornaments to
society and comforts to you In your declining
years. We earnestly wish that every family in
this community were in the habit of attending
public worship. We are fully persuaded that
there would be here more happiness, less vice,
less intemperance, less Sabbath desecration, less
profanity, less OF everything that degrades
people and more of everything that elevates
and ennobles And we ask you, fellow citizens,
as you prize the good OF society, the welfare of
your neighbors and friends, and even of your
own families, to give the influence of your ex-
ample to this happy result.
We appeal also to the young, who so much
need the restraints of grace amid their many
temptations, to put themselves under the sa-
cred influence of the sanctuary. There is yet
room. In all the churches you will be cordially
weeome .tif. st.. .i.t-. .t -.l.--,

1 dreamt that heard a syren bell, 81 l:sia1-.i
With silvery echo clear
And musical cadence sad and low,
And chime of tunesI did not know.
And I held my breath to hear.
Marvellous sweet was this syren bell;
And my dreaming soul lay still,
Ast the sound of the bell came over the lea, ~
Ginning ever joyously- - II F-'Ast =
Came Ginning over the lea g. -
1t put me in mind of my distant home,
With thewillows hanging low, 4 {4
And the tinkling brook that ran in the shade,
And the trout that fed from the shadow I made,
To the darker CULTS below.
And it called to my mind a fair little maid,
With sweet little merry blue eye, i i1ftT
And food Of streaming yellow hair,
Falling down her shoulders bare,
As she looked up into the sky
A sudden fall in that syren bell,
And the wind lay still on the lea,
And | saw again the little maid,
Gently in her coffin laid,
In graveyard by the sea.
