ing breakup" of the ice, on the Elks
"Big Elk" was very high and ice floating
down lodged on the banks and hundreds
of tons of it are lying along the shore in
blocks from 10 to 12 feet square and 10
inches in thickness. The road between
Seminars and Scott's mills has been block
ed up.
The schools are again in operation.

Bay View Items.

In the absence of railroads, rolling
mill and such like institutions, calculated
to get up first class casualties, we are at
loss to scrape up items enough to make a
respectable appearances, and to add to our
embarrassment our dealers in the ardent
keep such miserably adulterated article
that man for his life can't keep drunk
long enough to do himself, or any one else,
the least injury, or in any way interfere
with the wonted quietness of our very
peaceful neighborhood.
We have quite number marriages in
this vicinity recently. Most of them have
been rugged for the matrimonial voyage by
the Rev. Mr.. Rigg, of Zion; while others
applied to our other minister who is
Dumm(b), and no wonder they we're made
happy when they heard him speak.
A very interesting Debating Society is
in full tide of success at the Washington
School House, in the way Of bringing out
the latent talent of tho good citizens of
that vicinity. To add to its responsibility
the Rev. Mr.. Brickley participates, and l
am told his arguments rather takes them
down.
We intend organizing like institu-
ton at this place on next Friday night and
if am so happy as to be present, l shall
not forget your counsel to the jackson
iaus," and endeavor to confne the subject
strictly to farmers. Maybe you'd come
over into Macedonia and give us starting
lift.
In the way of improvement, Colonel
Ramsey is erecting frame dwelling house
a short distance below his hotel, to be fin
ished by March 25th.
No less than three donation visits
agreeably surprised our good minister and
his family, during the past week, coming
from all directions. His many friends have
exhibited their generosity and regard in a
solid, substantial manner, in the aggregate
of more than one hundred dollars.
Nothing more at present-only please
hurry up the fashions, for Susie's sake.

NORTH EAST, Jan. 9th, 1878.
We are creditably informed by several
citizens of the place that the Dead River
railroad has become an intolerable nuisence
the train running parallel with the town,
the yells and screams, and obscene language
used by the passengers has become insult
ferable. We are informed the ladies can't
put their heads out of the door without
their ears being greeted with oaths and
cursing, and respectable, sober young men
can't walk the streets at night with salty
We learn if there is not some amends made
soon hat there will be a case for the Grand
Jury at its next session: we further learn
that the managers OF the Iron Works, in
tend Strengthening out some Of the young
bloods, unless they stop running the train
past the Works, to its detriment. We
hope that preachers and iaymen, and all
respectable persons will assist in having a
change made in those Objectionable features
in our local laws ere long; in union there
is strength but divided we fall.

All these open up the school of life. -
There is one lesson that this school of life
teaches us that | cannot pass over. The
lesson of sorrow.
No greater lesson, no more profitable
lesson can come to human souls through
the experience of time.
1t sounds the deep places of our heart; it
awakens deathless affections. 1treveals to
us a nature that only God and heaven can
satisfy, and this religious education comes
to crown al! the departments of life. How
poorly is that one educated to whom the
great school of life brings no moral prin-
ciple, no personal responsibility, hope that
reaches beyond outward and temporal
things.
1t will be seen by this sketch of the
school of life that education is not the ac-
Gumulation of facts, but tho strengthening
of faculty and the development of the ma,
ture; that it consists not in the technical
gradation of the person in school and col
lege, but the nurture of the whole nature
according to the laws of the growth in each
department Of the being.
