A GREAT IMPROVEMENT
BYRNES'

The following few of the reasons Wig this
| CONCRETE should be used in preference to sl
| other materials:
l. 1t has been tested through one of the hottest OF
New Orleans summers, and found not to soften by
| the heat of the sun.
q Being in general use at the North, it nscesss-
| rily must be proof against cold.
g. 1t is as durable as stone and much less expen.
| sive.
1t is perfectly impervious to water. and conse.
| Quently quickly becomes dry when wet.
s. 1t makes dust in dry or mud in wet weather
6. 1t does not crack or crumble, nor is it washed
by the rain.
J. 1t is ilnpenetrable to grass, weeds or water
8. 1t prevents noxious vspors gases, arising
from the ground beneath, and affords reservoirs
for filth or fostering decompositons.
g. 1t is laid down quickly, and ready for use when
finished
repaired when necessary.

Mr.. Editor: wrote an article fer your
columns, two weeks ago but being re-
ceivcd too late for publication, only IN
extract was published from it.
Our literary society, devoted to moral
reform and intellectual Improvement, is
fiourishing finely. The exercises consist
of lectures, cxtemporancous remarks,
declamations and papers. Those who
started in these meetings last March, and
have been tenacious in keeping them up,
feel that great good has been accomplish
ed already, yet they feel that there is work
to do. Every village aud school district,
should organize Lyceum or literary Club
of some kind, that would take the alton
ton of the young folks-somcthing that
is moralizing and elevating in its inilu-
ences.

After the exercises were over. Mr.. How

Young folks. who had so highly entertain

hearty thanks was extended by the audi
cnce after which proposition was made
to take up contribution, to purchase n
treat for those who had so highly enter
tanned the audience. Dr. Bartlett was
then invited by yonng America 10 dis
tribute the gifts from the tree, where
Santa Claus had been liberal in his gilt.
The gifts upon the tree being disposed Of,
two baskets Of swcet-meats were handed
to the young folks, by DR. Bartlett, who
hoped they would enter into the discussion
of them as earnestly rs they had the ex-
crciscs of the evening. The entertain

Christmas at RunifOrd.

This time honored holiday was very
pleasantly observed, both at the Corner,
and at the Center. The one al the Cor
ncr was on Friday eve. The fine sleigh
ing and beautiful weather brought out
the people in large numbers, so that the
Church WAS dcnSely packed at an early
hour, 50 much so, that standing room,
even tor ladies, was at premium. The
exercises consisted of declarations, songs
&c, with a play entitled Down by the
Sea- closing with the distribution of
presents from two well loaded trees. The
whole thing was decided success. All
done well. The play Down by the Sea-
was listened to with unflagging interest
from beginning 10 end, even by those
standing packed in the aisles. Much of
the acting was very fine indeed. | would
like TO particularize, but it would make
this communication OF too great length.
The singing was very good. But the
browning glory of the evening in the eyes
of the little folks Gf not of the b;g) was
the coming of Santa Claus. Their little
eyes began to sparkle and grow very big,
and their earnest looks towards him,
showed how eagerly their minds were on
the trees. The trees. as said, were well
loaded, and many of the presents were
valuable rs well as useful; and although
the distribution was attended with some
confusion, owing to the crowd, we be-
lieve all GOT those that were intended for
them. How pleasant it is towatch dis
tribution at such time. The look of
glad surprise, as one receives an uneXpect-
ed gift. The lighting up of some care.
worn face, that will look brighter for
months after with thinking that friends
have not all forgotten them, and then to
hear the glad shout of some little child as
he or she gets some pretty thing. Who
is there that does not feel better, and have
a better opinion of the world after being
ut Christmas festival. Too much credit
cannot be given to the gettcrs up of this
one at the Corner; prominent among
which were Mr. E. II. Hutchins, our wide

We had n very pleasant and profitable
institute on Saturday, Dec. 25th. Every
teacher in town but two were present.
and were in earnest TO receive such new
hints as might be OF service in the school
room. The Experimenting School Com
mttee seem 10 be alive to the interests
of their school. Through their influence,
this town was better represented at Nor
way County Institute than any other
town. We think our schools are now
reaping 4 rich reward. Not only the
Committee and teachers, but many OF
the citizens manifested lively interest
by being present at the Institute during
the day, and all were satisfied that the
Supervisor is n man OF practical and
original ideas on the subject of teaching,
and is doing good work for our schools.
