EDITOR JoURNAL.-It is o pleasure to
note that The JOURNAL has reached its 18th
Volume, upon which it will receive the
hearty congratulations of its many friends.
The position of the conductor of a public
journal like yours, is attended by count
less trials and embarrassments, wholly un.
known to the common reader. The ap-
pearance of single article may involve
him in troubles Of years. continuance.
remember, when boy, attending school
near the cityof Louisville, KY, that the re-
markable, (now deceased) George D. Prem
tice, who for many years published the
leading journal Of that city, lost thousands
Of friends by the publication Of an article
and an editorial endorsement. He even
wept on the streets when he beheld the de-.
sertion OF so many, who had been bosom
friends. There ore very many, Mr.. Edi-
tor, in our noble State who wish you abund
ant success, and sincerely desire The
JOURNAL to live through many successive
volumes, and ever contend for the right of
the great moral, social and political issues
which will, one after the other, force them
selves upon the American people for solu-
ton.
am happy to see that Prof. Faddis,
President of the Commercial College, which
was destroyed by the late fire in St. Paul,
is passing nobly through this great loss,
and is determined to offer to those desiring
commercial education, even better
opportunities than they enjoyed before.
Joseph Lowe, of Maine Prairie, is legally
authorized to sell scholarships and trans
act business for this excellent institution,
and will sell few scholarships now for
$40, which after the LIST of January will
cost $75. AM young lady or gentleman
desiring to attend this College should ad-
dress Mr.. L. at once, as tho term will soon
be open with the first class full.
Mr.. L. H. Sampson has been creating
quite an excitement on the Prairie by an
exhibition of the celebrated "Marsh Har-
| vester." Men, women and children have
gathered into the fields to witness the oper-
alton of this machine, and with but very
little exception it has been pronounced the
best IN use. 1t saves the hire and board of
three hands, as two do the binding, and it
is Of so light draft that two horses draw it
easily. Some saw it before Mr.. s. had it
| rightly fitted for work, but he now ohal-
lenges competition. He sold the one on
exhibition to Mr.. Thomas spaulding, and
has gone for another.
Miss Nellie Kimball gives Sabbath
School Concert next Sunday evening, at 7
o'clock, at Squire Farwell's schoolhouse.
Miss Nellie merits great praise for her de-
votlon to the Sunday School cause, and
the training of the youthful voices to hymn
in beautiful concert the glad songs Of mu-
sic divine. She has obtained promises from
Rev. Mr.. Gleason, of Clearwater, and Jo-
seph Lowe, of Maine Prairie, to contribute
| addresses on the occasion.
The temperance address of Mr.. Jo-
! seph Lowe, as previously announce
ed, was delivered yesterday to an
| audience larger if possible than the one
addressed two weeks before, and the meet
ing was considered by many not committed
| TO the temperance cause as in every way
digni6ed, strictly Christian, and beneficial
to our community. Everything passed off
pleasantly, and the hearts of the friends
of this great cause were cheered and great
| ly strengthened. The Baptist church in
Fair Haven has been kindly rendered, and
an ''Address to Christians Of every name"
will be delivered next Sunday at II o'clock
A.. NJ, IN behalf Of the cause Of temper
ance, by Joseph Lowe.
Our farmers are in the midst of harvest,
| and We have had splendid rain.
