Now boys, it is wrong TO catch so
many fish as to impede the running Of
lumber. If you make the river 50

The Lancet says it is going the
ronnds of the papers both Oh this and
the other side of the ocean, that His
Royal Pighness, Prince Arthur, was
inebriated when visiting in New
York. We have made tour business
to find out the facts of the case, and
are pleased to say there is no truth in
the report. We are assured lie only
drank what his medical attendants
advised him, and that was the cele.
brated Warmers Vinum Vito, or the
Wine of Life. This is an aticle very
generally used and highly recon-
mended as the most wholesome, pure
and delicious stimulating beverage
and tonic in use, and is superior to
wines or any other liquor, and should
be kept in every family. 1t is for
sale everywhere.

Fires In the Woods.

Previous to the delicious rain Of iue
past week our people were threatened
with a repetition Of the fires OF las,
year. In almost every direction
could be seen the rolling columns Of
smoke above the tree tops, drifting
away with the wind. A vast amount
of damage was done last year by the
fires kindled, either by accident, or
through the carelessness Of sundry
persons, or Indians. Had not the
rain visited US at az opertune time,
the country would undoubtedly have
been partially devastated.

A party CT men engaged in digging a
ditch in Jefferson township, on last Fri
day, came upon the remains of an animal
that must have been-when living-about
the size of common frame barn. They
came upon the horns or tusks about
eighteen inches below the surface. The
tusks Were nine feet in length, and meas
ured two feet in circumference where they
joined the head. Teeth weighing seven
pounds apiece and were in a good state OF
preservation. Unfortunately, the tusks
commenced crumbling when exposed to
the air, and it is feared they hardly can be
preserved. The affair has created consid-
cradle excitement, and the party are pros
ecuting the search with vigor. From the
position the head occupied the overgrowE
gent must have mired, and the greater
pant of the animal is, perhaps embedded
in the quicksand below-Cosuna6ia Csts

| Mind too active and vigoroug wears
away the body, as the finest jewels do

Moral Nature.-The cultivation of the
moral nature i'll man is the grand means
for the Improvement of society.
We often omit the good we might do in
consequence of thinking about that which
it is not in our power 10 do.
There is no one SO innocent as not to
be evil spoken of; there is no one SO wick
ed as to merit all condemnation.
Duty and Safety.-It is one of the worst
of errors to suppose that there is any 9TH
er path of safety except that of duty.
Every heart has its secret sorrow,
which the world knows not, and often
times we call a man cold when he was
only sad.

Measure of Happiness.-It is a great
