EDITOR CHRoNIcLE.-In late issue o.
your Journal, Twas surprised to learr
from the advertised subject for discussion
by the Literary Society of your village,
that Spiritualsm and its doctrine should
form topic of controversy or discussion
for an intelligent body in the midst OF an
intellie gent community the more so, since
I have been led to believe (from facts and
hints CLEANED from the works of the pub
lie press), that spiritualism had long ago
died premature death, and been buried
or hid, from the public gaze, by the man
tie of ignorance. the onl y robe known to
and worn by its parents and propagators.
But, since the subject has again been re-
suscitated and dragged forth from the
ashes Of oblivion, let US inquire into
it's origin, and it's size and progress in this
country.
In the first place, thus it was original
ly found amongst cannibals and devil
worshipers, and its palmiest days, were
spent on the Hawaiian Islands, immedi-
ate ly prior to the inhabitants Of those
Islands receiving Christianity.
And again, on its first appearance in
this country, in Hidesville, New York, to
which pla e it was introduced by faml.
ly named Fox, whose members were after
wards noted as mediums, and of whom,
if the sworn testimony of a respectable
relative of theirs be worth anything,
strengthened by the sworn certificates Of
officers of the Buffalo Medical College,
still further strengthened by testimony of
DR.. Schoppc of Germany, who says that
all these individuals began their career,
wholly or in part as impostors.
Ventri oquism, natural magic, concealed
machinery, have all been rendered sub
servant to the wishes Of INSCRIPTIONS
men, in furtherence of their nefarious
designs upon the ignorant.
Has the exposure of the Davies, tie
Maxwells and the Sunderlands, been for
gotten :?
Has the two exposures Of the retium
Fowler, escaped the memory Of the Ameri
can people? Or do they think that since
corruption is rife in our high places Of
honor and Of trust, that such a state Of
=
reigns supreme?
If so, let them dispose of all such
thoughts from their minds, ard rest as
sured that the American Teoplr, can
never countenance a doctr ne built up and
resting upon such shallow basis as of
the SO called Spiritualists.

fw- On the night of April 25th, some
dastardly mean scamp, or scanps, delioer
ately set fire to, and burned down. Num-
Der Two school house, in this town.
There had been an attempt to fire this
building about week before, but for
some reason it was failure. 1t appears
that much pains had been taken to have
the thing 90 off we'll. There was nice
lot of dry kindling placed between the
sheathing and weather boards, starting
from under the foundation. The building
was not discovered to be on fire, until
everything inside was destroyed. The
Board offers reward of SIS for informa-
ton leading to the arrest of the perpe-
traitors of this crime. 1t is to be hoped
that the guilty parties will be speedily
brought TO justice.

Mr. EDITOR


We Highlanders would have been well
pleased to have had you Dodgevillians (cr
Dodgevillains if you think it suits you
bette.), and citizens from the other towns
IN our county. present at district school
exhibition which took place in our village
last Saturday and Monday evenings, the
10Th and 2lst Of April. am satisfied the
performance would have entertained, and
you would also then have had an oppor.
tunity to gee our children and their
parents and friends.
Mr.. William Mcfarland, of Portage
City, teacher of the School in District
Number 8, had charge of the exhibition.
1t consisted of declarations, recita-
tons. dialogues, tableaux. singing by the
scholars, and farce, More Blunders
Than One" All Yes, and music, vocal
and instrumental, by the young folks of
the village, which was really good, but
although part Of the exhibition it was
not part of the school exhibition, so I'll
say no more about it.
The children all did well. There was
no prompting, no hesitating and only one
break down. A little fellow about seven
years old (aud by the way all the scholars
are under fiftecn), went on swimmingly
about half way thr rough his speec CHI, and
then came to dead halt. He stood think
ing hard for moment, but the proper
word was out of his head, and he must
leave the stage. Poor little fellow bu!
then, many grown up children fail upon
their first effort to speak in public; and,
Notwithstanding his first failure he may
yet rise to eminence as an orator.
"The School Meeting" "The Exhibit
ton Interrupted" Mother Goose" The
Rival Orators" NEGRO Love Song," by
an artificial little mig" made for the
occasion, "Stuffins Fourth of July Ora
tion," and 'The spelling Glass; are
deserving of special notice. They were
exceedingly well rendered AID if knew
the names Of all the children engaged in |
them should certainly give tksm to you
(The names mean not the childrcn).
The tableaux were very good, but not
enough of them.
The evenings entertainment closed with |
q farce "Moie Blundcrs Than One" per-
formed by Susan Goodsell, Mary See, Ju-
liza Du ScLann, Antoine Quinlioff, An
drew Bolster, Barney Goodsell and John
Rowe.
1t was aoeN performed, and really sur
prised the audience. | heve seen young
men and women in our village represent
farces on the stage, and really they do no
better than these children did. If it were
not for offending the other boys and girls,
| think should say that John Rowe's
expression and manner generally, were
Just little ahead Of the others.
The whole exhibition was creditable to
scholars and teacher and this is shown
in the fact that the house with seating
capacity Of 25o was literally jammed full,
on both evenings, although an admission
fee was charged.
Came and sc for yourself next time,
Mr.. Editor, and bring your friends along.

Very truly Yours,

Pokervile, February q, 1873.
Mr. EDITOR
Some facts have recently come NY no
tice that cannot help wishing to COM
municate to you. They may help TO con-
vert you to the Darwinan doctrine of
the descent of Man," although do not
communicate them for any such purpose
Some years ago "Dick Wade" and
"Guss Helmenstein," of Pokervil:e, sunk
shaft for lead about u mile aud ha f
Southwest of the town. The total debth
of the shaft was about sixty feet. The
first forty feet passed through hard drift
clay and gravel together, and was nicely
cribbed with poles, the lower twenty feet
being blasted through solid lime rock. A
short time ago the parties named, think
ing, to try their luck once more at min
ing returned to the alm,s: forgotten old
shaft, and once more began to clean out
the rubbish. They found that the crib
bling had given way for some feet at the
top, allowing a mass of dirt and stones 10
tumble into the shaft, filing ie up sever al
feet at the bottom-about ter feet. They
found too that some little animal, fox
they think from bits of fur found-had
dug a hole into the side Of the shaft. at
the lower edge of the cribbing, and at the
lower edge of the rock. This hole they
found to extend upward and outward at
the east about three feet, where it forked.
One branch bore upward and back tow
ard the shaft, going only three or four feet
before striking the cribbing; and the
other shot directly toward the zenith as
straight and true as miner could sink
his shaft-the shortest possible cut to day
light.
Messrs. Wade and Helmenstein think
Master Reynard must have fallen down
the shaft, either when on a "tight" or
through some unaccountable carelessness
that finding himself where game was not
pIcllf, uV SCI w WI W Al &C , tItdl
at first he made blunder and lost some
labor by running off against the crib
bling, and that he then returned and start
ed anew straight upward. And indeed
i. seems to me that Satan's famous ascend
out of Pandemonium could hardly have
been more laborious than this little ami
mails forty feet dig" upward through
that hard soil. Indeed it seems to me
there are not too many Instances in the
history of that biped man, of more he
roic struggle for dear life. Doesn't it Mr.
Editor compare pretty we'll with Dr.
Kane's struggle out of the ice fields Of
the Polar regions, or with the famous
march of Zenophan and his ten thousand
MINER.
