The Printing Office as a School.

A correspondent of the Louisville Journal, in
the course of a series of interesting "reminiscences
of an old connection with that establishment,
says:
:. For n Young man who is not altogether a
fool, who has had the advantages of an ordinary
education, the printing Office is undoubtedly a
capital school for intellectual advancement. In
regard to general knowledge, no class of men
who labor for a living, Can approach the printer.
The studious among them, if their gifts be not
below the mediocrity, have equal chances with
the members of the SO called professions, to &C
auire both worldly honOrs and literary fame.
From the days of Saxon to those of Frnklin, and
from his day to our own, the craft has produced
eminent men in every profession and in every
walk of life.
only of language and punctuation, but of the IN
trinsic literary merits of whatever comes under
his hand. It is impossible that he should be
otherwise, since so great a part OF his life is made
up, as it were, of facts that enforce reflection.
The labor that employs his hands gives to his
mind neither exercise nor care. His fingers move
intuitively to the exact points requisite for the
proper apportionment Of his work, while his
mind seizes the idea sought to be conveyed by the
writer with whom he is engaged. and is only ex-
PEELED therefrom after his judgment has passed
sentence On its merits.
some unknown composition or proof reader much
more of reputation as a writer than he would be
willing to acknowledge. If, by changing the
reading of n sentence without affecting its mean
ing, he can give to it strength or something, a
good printer asks no questions about the matter
but changes it ut once. And so, if the grammar
of a sentence is evidently faulty, he would be
considered unfit for the business, did he not rectiiy
it in this particular.

Rev. Norman Macleod, in ac.
count of a visit to Bombay, gives
an account of a juggling feat,
known as the "bamboo trick He
says:
While the tom. tom was beating,
and the pipe playing, the iuggler,
singing all the time in low accents,
smoothed a place in the gravel,
three or four yards before us
Having thus prepared a bed for
the plant to grow in, he took a
basket and placed it over the pre-
Ipared place, covering it with a
! thin blanket. The man himself
did not wear thread of clothing,
except a strip round the loins'
The time seemed to have come
for the detectives eye! So just
as he was becoming more earnest
in his song, and while the ton-ton
heat and the pipe shrilled more
loudly, | stepped forward with be
. coming dignity and begged hin

Flowers i'm n skeleton.

Unburi ed, many a night and day,
On IN Germans wild plains,
Exposed to sun and moon there lay
4 soldiers gaunt remains
So long the man had moudered there,
The wiseSt could not say
What uniform he once did wear,
What chieft;Un did obey;
If he were one of RussiaS men,
Or served in Gaufs array;
Or charged with British soldiers, when
He persisted in the fray.
The flesh had erumblcd from eacL hmo'
The muscle from each bone;
And there remained the framework grim
A skeleton alone.
All round where late the foemOn trod.

The brighter, haply, that the sod

And thro' the jaw-hone'S narrow room =
A sad and startling light
A knot of violets in full bloom
Had forced itself TO light.

And with coruption's taint was hlent

In noticing the greater lights of
this township, we a no design Of
~neglecting the stars of less magnitude.
Rome is also situated here. Not the
ancient city on 'seven hills, put sit
uabed at the corners of five roads lead
ing by as many points of compass

Nor yet the modern city on the Tiba,
the residence of His Highness the
Pope, but the seat of a snowy temple
of learning. which not alone, but as
shines the glory of the palmiest day of
S~cpticolis.
Henry Whitworth is theteacher. The
good people also have an interesting
Sabbath School in the school house.
James CUmmins is superintendent.
Capt. n. E. Carpenter, has an excel
lent Steam Saw Midland Lumber Yard
here. Nearly three hundred valuable
logs are now il 1.-THE yard, besides large
amounts Of lumber. The Jobs of saw
ing are mostly custom work.
Passing up the beautiful street to
Berkshire we can but note the changes.
We miss the friendly faces of Mrs. Nor
ton and Misses Calhoun, Gregories,
Miller, &c, until arriving at the cor
ntrs we n vacant the places fisher
man, Crawford, Carney and others who
once dweltimOur midst. SomeOf these
venerable pioneers have removed to
to join friendsin other localities. others
have forever departed from the walks
of men.
Berkshire is one of the Oldest towns
in this county. Although much of its
former glory has departed like its
founders, there is yet an interest lin
gering here which time cannot eface.
Many of the most intelligent and re-
fined souls still remain and consider
able social, religious and business ca
paeity still exists. There are two
churches, viz. Methodist and Episco-
pal, with Revs. Mr.. Whitworth and
Cumm1ns Pastors, respectively.
The former has a very large Sabbath
School, averaging over 100 scholars.
Miss Emma Iampman has a very
thrifty public school.
A temperance lodge oncein existence
has somewhat abated in interest.
Business cards are as follows:
w. j. VansickIe, p. M. and mer-
chant; J. w. Foote, merchant Drs.
Mosier and EvaFtS; COurters q Smith
Shomakers; 0rland Robson. Black

just west Of the village, is President
of the Delaware, Berkshire d Sunburv

tween Alum n Little Walnut creeks
Is almost enIlfeIy completed. Henry
is the superintendent.
In consideration of its wealth, intel
ligence, social, educational and relig-
GUS advantages, as well as its internal
improvements and business facilities
Berkshire may justly be regarded as a
representative township. It.has the
largest population and gives the larg-
republican majority of any outside

HARLEM, o., June %, 1869.
EDS. GAZETTE Since it is the FASH
ion tor your correspondent S to write up
heir native towns, perhaps l had better
10 up this noted But the inter-
esting and perplexing question arises,
where's the place to begin? Whether
the store, where the outer man is sup
piled, or the grocery, where the inner
man is supplied, OF the church, wnere
the spiritual man is supplied, is the
better place to begin, is the question for
solution hut ibs fact of the vote on
lay DELEGATE N having been taken at the
church to-day solves the aforesaid Ques-
tIon. l begin with the CHURCH.
Harlem affords q church; q plain,
neat and substantial brick structure,
up N which is lettered NJ. E. Church,
1888. The vote to-day was but a small
one and resulted, for lay delegation
IOur, against lay delegation eight.
We built last fall Il fair brick school
house, perhaps as good a sub-district
school house as there is in the county
We:have only One dry goods store, but
here Is not Il better furnished or a
nicer one in the county.
One grocery, q blacksmith STOP,
one wagon and carriage shop, one shoe
shop one one shop, n tailor shop,
and near here are the best of tree stone
~quarTies, which furnish the building
stone for miles around also, a good
Srist mill aud a good portable steam
~aw-mill. Now you will perceive I am
not personal in mentioning names and
for obvious reasons. First, because I
do not want TO force you to advertise
gratuitously and second, because 1
might say 100 mueB for some one. or too
little for some one, or might fail to say
anything of some one, and then the
very dickens would, be to pay. So that
bids me say that If any gentleman

Fourth of July with tight boots on, a
quart of ale and a half a pint of rot gut
inside, and a two-f forty girl that swings
on your toes as a partner. IdOn't know,
do you? GILFILLIN.
