A LITTLE BOYS QUERY.-My little
boy Freddie, years old, is daily asking
me to tell him some stories. I was relat.
ing to him, the other day, the story OF
Adam and Eve,-that God placed them in
the beautiful garden of Eden, full of
flowers and all kinds of fruits; that God
told them they might eat of all the fruit,
except the apples on one tree, which l
supposed were poison; that if they ate
them they would be sick and die; that
they were disobedient and ate some of the
apples, and were turned out of their
pleasant and happy home.
Said he, "Why didn't God pull up the
tree and throw it away, so they couldn't
get 'em ?" Con-.

EVERY SATURDAY.-The monthly part
of Ec6ry SATURDAY for January, published
last week, is one of the most attractive
periodicals ever issued, and deserves some
thing more than passing mention. The
literary character of this journal is well
known to the many readers who for the
past four years have found in its pages
the best resume of foreign current litera-
ture published. In it new form, Eoery
Saturday loses none of its attractive
characteristics, the addition of numerous
large illustrations having in no degree re-
duced the generous quantity of sparkling
reading matter given in the old series.
How great an attraction is added in the
pictorial element is. testified by the large
ly increased circulation of the new vol
ume which commenced on the 1st of Jan
uary. Each week THE letter-press and the
superb engravings of the current number
have been received with increased admira-
ton. 1t is, however, the monthly part
of Ege,y tSaturday that at present en-
cages our particular attention. This
comprises the five weekly numbers issued
during the month of January, and, in its
handsomely illuminated cover, is certain
ly one of the most artistic magazines pub
lished in any country.
The progress made in wood-engraving
during the present century is very
mo rla ~ hoe "A,
id strides, especially in the last twenty
years, until for the purposes of book IL
lustration it has almost if not wholly dis
placed steel engraving. 1t is now being
brought to bear with remarkable success
upon the reproduction of fine paintings
Such reproduction is one of the leading
features of the new English illustrated
weekly, TIE Graphic, which furnishes
elaborate wood engravings of the best
works of the most eminent artists of the
English and French schools at a merely
nominal cost By special arrangement
with Tie Graphic, Messrs. Fields, Osgood
& Co. receive electrotypes of all the illus
trations prepared for the English journal,
which they reproduce in Every Saturday,

ance in London or in advance. These

lures, at price so moderate as to insure
for the magazine the widest sale. The
London art Journal, whose chief artistic
claims are in its medium-sized steel en-
cravings, sells at $3.50 per number. The
Monthly Part of EUery Saturday, with
Ave times as many admirable pictures,
sells for so cents. To realize the full
value, as well as the extraordinary low
price of this periodical, we have only to
turn over the handsomely printed pages
of the January issue. Here we find ad-
mirable cabinet-sized portraits of Tenny-
son, Longfellow, Bulwer Lytlou and Lord
Derby, and reproductions of paintings
by Greuze, Gerome, Boughton, George
Thomas, and other famous artists. In
addition to these are many frst-class en-
cravings of interesting and important
subjects, all of which go far toward MAX

THE FORT EDWARD HEIREss ONCE
MoRE.-A correspondent of the Troy
Times says: .....
/ think the press and the public have
done Miss Gray great injustice, inasmnch
as she has been represented as an impos-
tor. I never saw the lady, but all who
know her represent her as a worthy girl
of irreproachable character, retiring.
modest and unpresuming. As to the lega-
cy about which so much has been said,
am informed by distinguished lawyer,
to whom Miss Gray submitted her papers,
that she had letters from London, or at
least purporting to have come from Lon
don, informing her of the bequest and the
means necessary to obtain it. The sub
ject was more than once alluded to in the
London Times, Il regret that cannot
give you the dates,) the editor conveying
the opinion that the will was genu-
inc and that Miss Gray would receive
the money. Miss Gray has beeen reticent
on the subiect-neither confirming nor
contradicting what has been said of her.
no one has been able to trace to her the
story about the British Consul, and until
this is done she is not answerable as an
imposter. 1t has been proclaimed broad
cast that Miss Gray, by false pretences.
had induced parties to advance her large
sums of money. I think it would be very
difficult to find those parties. Aside from
a few hundred dollars advanced by rela-
tives and few personal friends, l don't
believe the lady has received dollar.
The story that Miss Gray ran away i'm
mediately after the appearance of the
British Consups letter, is in character with
hundreds of other sheer fabrications. She
is at her humble home about mile from
this village. That Miss Gray had large
sum willed to her have not doubt, but
1 think it very doubtful if she will ever
receive it; certainly she does not pretend
to have received any portion of it.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.-The dwell
ling-house of Henry ]. Allen of Bellows

the family being away on visit at the
time. The burglar went so far toward
making himself at home as to strike a
light. The light attracted The attention
of a Mr.. Brooks, who succeeded in SUR
prising and capturing the burglar, after a
severe struggle; but the slippery fellow
finally succeeded in breaking away and
escaping.

AMERICANS ABRoAD-A G
An English paper says:

An English paper says:
A story is told which may be COM
mended to Partisan gentlemen as contain
ing a valuable hint. Two Americans
were dining with two ladies at hotel in
Baden Baden. A Russian prince, who
wished to pick a quarrel with them, pur-
chased two bouquets and sent them to the
American ladies, with his compliments
The Americans glanced pleasantly at the
Russian, and sent him, by the waiter who
brought the flowers, two Napoleons. The
offender was, it is added, so chagrined
that he left the room. 1t was thus shown
that people who have abandoned dueling
may be by no means so defenseless against
personal effronts as might be supposed.

ming in a zigzag course on account of the
steepness of the incline. The company
intend, during the coming year. to en-

now employ 60 hands. The mine is not
worked to its full capacity, only about
1876 tons of ore per month being taken
out, which averages 8 per cent. pure cop
per.
This company started four years ago
with working capital of $1,000; and the
working of the mine has paid all expenses
thus far, with no assessments on the capi-
tai stock. The ore is drawn IA miles by

CAsTLEToN.-Religio interest still
continues to increase here, and meetings
will be held in the different churches
mentioned in my last letter, through this
week. Previous to this time, services
have been held in the chapel of the Con-
gregational church. Now they convene
in the meeting house. The ministrations
of Messrs. Hooker and Francis have for a
few evenings past been of unusual in
terest and profit to every class of their
hearers. Mr.. Hooker preached solemn
and impressive discourse to large and
attentive congregation, last Sunday morn
ing, from the words, "Thou almost per-
suadest me to be Christian" His kind
appeals and christian-like reasoning on
the subject, made an abiding impression
on many heart before him.
Rev. Mr.. Munson, former pastor of
the Congregational church, in Pittsford.
spent the last Sabbath in Castleton, and
was the guest of Dea. w. c. Guernsey.
In the evening he occupied the pulpit OF
the brick church, and delivered most
touching and telling sermon to the youth,
from the words, Remember now thy
Creator in the days of thy youth, while
the evil days come not" A large portion
of the congregation were yonng people,
and the burden of his well-prepared and
well-direoted discourse was in their be-
half
Rev. Mr.. Eaton, presiding elder of
this district, spent the last Sabbath with
the Methodist church, preaching in the
evening. Rev. Mr.. Bailey of Rutland,
will lend ministerial aid at this church
during the week.
Last Sunday afternoon Rev. Mr.
Mathewson of the Advent church preached
an excellent sermon from the words alike
wise say unto You, there is Joy in the
presence of the angels of God over one
sinner that repenteth." Mr.. NJ. has been
the pastor of this people several years and
has ever done and is still doing all in his
power for the religious and moral pros
perity of his congregation.
Considerable has been said through
the HERALD regarding schools in differ
ent localities. / wish to say a word con-
corning schools in Castleton. In the first
place permit me to say that Mr.. and Mrs
Williams of the Seminary are the right
persons in the right place, and that they
are gaining in public favor and are highly
esteemed by patrons and pupils They
came to us strangers, bringing with them
a large fund of experience as teachers in
neighboring State, and we are bold IT,
say that we believe, under their intel |
lectual and fostering care, the Seminary
will become a favorite institution of learn
ing in this community as in days of yore. |
Our village district schools are model in
situations of the kind. Miss Heath and |
Miss Taft far excel any teachers that have |
been employed in our common schools for |
years. They are good scholars them
selves and know how to make others good |
scholars. They are paid good wages |
they are of the good old Massachusetts, |
stock of teachers, and they know right
well how to keep good school. l take
special pride and pleasure in reporting
thus much concerning our village schools
and village teachers. b. W. b.
