a9= Since our issue Of March 10Th.
in which was an item stating that the
School Board had under consideration
the fitting up of the Congregational
Church in this village, for a School
House. We have heard considerable
objection to the same 1t is fact that
the society is very small in members,
so small that they have for great
number of years been unable to have
regular service, but they have just as
much right to their property as they
would have if their membership COM
posed half the population of the place,
and from what we can learn the entire
resident membership is opposed to
using the church for any other purpose
than house of worship. The mem
bers have not been at all illiberal with
their church, but have willingly and
ever gladly rendered the use of 1t to
other denominations, but that is no
sign that they are willing to give it
over to the school district and lose
control oft altogether, would it not be
vel! for the school board to consult
the members of the church before con
Guiding to appropriate their property
to school purposes.

DEAR FRIEND WRIGGL EswoRTH:
A word is due your paper from me. Its
kind humorous face, sparkling with wit
and golden sentiment, greets us every
week, and | regret that the multitude of
cares in my work on this mission deters
me from contributing weekly to your col
umns.
In reviewing the past years labors
here-I have had my sunny days of holy
friendships, peace and prosperity, " and
some days dark and dreary." have
been heartily sustained by my people
here in preaching " the glorious gospel of
the blessed Cod" On the LIST of January
the whole community gave expression Of
their good will by magnificent supper
and $41.50; and yet again few days ago,
on learning that a complaint would be
lodged against me for going to Dodgeville
one Sunday to address Sabbath School
and lecture, they gathered at our house
aud presented an address and $50 of pres
ents for myself and family. conducted
a series Of meetings which proved very
gracious time to the whole community.
Ny lectures procured them fine property
for parsonage, giving their mission the
value of $40 per annum for all coming
time. hope the days will come when
we can visit our Dodgevile friends when
no authority will reprimand us for do
ing so.
Yours in Christ.

Dead-HeadS.

It is common for certain classes of
people to look upon newspaper editors
as "dead heads, par excellence. But
the truth is, there is no class of people
so remoraelessly and continuously FL
ched from and imposed upon by dead
headism in myriad shapes, as these
very newspaper editors themselves.
We Will give an instance or two, by
way of illustration.
There is the man who has patented
a new sort Of thingumbob for ''regula-
ting" the heat Of stoves He comes to
us with a specimen of his thingumbob
and tells us it is the greatest blessing
ever invented will save lots of money
for poor people only let it get into
general use, and the community will
raise up ard call him blessed. He
wants us to publish his invention through
our columns for nothing ; he posters
us with it, till we are strongly tempted
to raise up and call him the reverse of
blessed, and show him the door. How
ever we don't: we are too good natured
and too overwhelmingly polite. We
don't even tell him he is dead head.
There are the associations that get
up schemes for benevolent pul doses. Of
course the editor must do their adver-
Using for nothing sit won't cost him
anything' to give them free notice.
Perhaps he obliges them, and perhaps
he shows them his advertising rates.
Some Of them, no doubt. are very
excellent people. anl really believe
themselves in the ri ght. Whatever
else they are, however. they are dead
heads.
There are the temperance societies
and missionary associations, and moral
reform agencies. and associations for
the Furnishing Of the Hottentots with
flannel drawers and cod-li,er oil. "Can
you ask us to pay you fer adveriising?'
Can you refuse to put in our notices
of meetings, and so on. and have the
hardihood to ask us for money when
the poor HottcntotS are perishing with

Fetch on your notices, we will print
them, provided they are not too long !;
but remember you are dead-heads.
