Prescott Head, Esq, advertiscs fol
sale by auction the 28th inst, his resi-
dence, a very desirable situation.-
Michael Connor, an industrious and

gave two dramatic entertainments at
Pollard's Hall, Thursday and Friday
evenings, 18th and 10th inst Large

towards paying for the new uniform

seen better acting Or listened to better
music in this town.-Prof. liarring-
ton, one Of your old acqualntances who
shouldn't be forgotten, held forth at
Ingraham Hall, Saturday evening.
The jolly Professor says he is now
making his AID annual tour, In the
line Of magical tricks and transforma-
tions as well as vcntrioloquism, he
eclipses any other man,-One day last
week it set in to snow, in a few days
it let up, but not until the idea got
prevalent that between the two ranges
Of hills, wherein lies the village of
Chester, there would be no valley.
This thing rarely occurs.-A Chester
correspondent says in the Argus &
Patriot of last week, that the Baptist
festival at the Ingraham Hall, on
Wednesday evening had certain com
mendablc features, etc, etc, The in
ference naturally drawn would be that,
the means Of "raising the wind in the
matter of "Guess" Cake, and other
lottery schemes were exceptionally
pious-divested of the usual uncer-
tainties of chance-yct, alluring unto
pawning your blessed grandmothers
photograph. We should have known
more about the modus operandi, had
there been any festival, Baptist, Luth-
cran, Mahomedan or Mormon but
the intent was spoiled by the little
game of snow-blockade which was
playing a clone hand" We know the
correspondent was not in fault, but
when will printers learn to adapt
circumstance to the requirements OF
correspondents and have these things
come off in accordance with dates and
other arrangements as set forth in the
hand-bills ? Egad We shall break
faith in the doctrine of foreordinatiOn,

BACK KlTCuENs.-The true way to
repait the kitchens of parsonage houses
is for the rich men of the church
some twenty or thirty Of them - whom
the Lord has specially prospered in
this worlds goods, to pay out their
$40, $40, $50, or $50 as their frec-will
Offering to the Lord, and not get up a
humbug affair to excite the curiosity
Of the poor and thus indirectly induce
the poor to pay out Of their poverty
what ought to be paid by the rich.
When rich people carry this matter Of
boarding too far, God sometimes says
to them, "you shall be no longer stew
ard" and takes away the property
they thus Withhold from the Lord. 1t
certainly is not commendable to dis
turb the whole Israel of God about q
few repairs to minister's back kitch

Girls Beware! The young ladies
who are to be the marble statues in
the tableaux in the Town Hall next
Thursday night must be careful not to
"o'erstep the modesty of nature" if
they wish to retain the respect of the
other sex, who despise immodesty on
or off of the stage. Likewise let them
beware of the counsel of pretended
friends who, for sinister purposes, try
to make them take parts and costume
that will render them ridiculous.

Filled with historic lore-or liquor
May watch the morning sun uprise
And rest his rays on tho bronzed old figures,
Then blackened with ago Wont he open
his eyes
And wonder who we're those mighty "Niggers ?"
But he'll read their story and when he has

He'll lose his senses in thinking whether

Could stand them both-if they had lived
