Tie "ethereal mildness" with which poets
credit the vernal season is more an illusion
of the fancy than meteorological fact.
Early spring in temperate climates Is a
fearful time, and the tears are usually too
cool for health or comfort. To avert the
complaints to which the fogs and winds of
the season are apt to give rise, prudent peo-
pie who believe in the prOverb that "pre-
vention is better than cure" fortify their
stomachs and brace up their nerves and
muscles with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Those who do this are wise, and are reward
ed for their wisdom by escaping the vista
tons of chills and fever, rheumatism, bill
BUSINESS, fatulency, constipation, stomach
complaint, &c, so common in damp, inhos-
pitable weather. To the less prudent, who
neglect this precaution, and suffer for 1t,
we would say, that the disorders which this
potent vegetable tonic prevents it also cures.

cordins to our invariable rule, the names
win be erased unless renewals are ordered.
We hope that we shall not be under the me-
cessity Of erasing a single name. We have
recently had considerable accessions to our
subscription list, and trust that the good
work will go brayely on. THE CLARION at
81 90 per year, is a necessity that cannot
well be dispensed with. and we trust that
our present subscribers, and many new
ones, win see it in that light. Our sub
scribers should understand that the notice
thine Quit" on the margin is intended as
a friendly reminder rather than as dun.
Without exception. we discontinue the
pa per when the time paid for expires. We
adopted the cash system two years ago,
when we reduced the price of subscription
from three to two dollars per year.

that he is not upon the bond and that his

For The Clarion.
Here will we sit and let the sounds of
music
Creep in our ears; soft stiffness, and the
night
Become the touches ofsweet harmony"
Our ears were gladdened and our hearts
made light, on last Monday and Tuesday
nights, by Concert aud Tableaux, given by
the elite of Jackson, for the benefit of the
Episcopal Church.
The first song CTantum Ergo) was evil
IDENTIFY piece of unparalleled mirth, but not
entirely 10 our taste. Mrs. V (who is one
of the "sweetest singers iu all Isreal'') sang
the principal part, and the notes fell from
her lips in a soft melodious sound. We
would have felt greater degree of appre-
citation but (at that time) had no recollec-
ton of any latin, learned in childhood, ex-
cept that ''Deus'' meant God.
Miss l.. G. performed her piece admira-
bly, aud convinced all OF her aceompli an.
ments as a musician. Miss @. NJ took Il
prominent part in the performance, and
contributed greatly TO the success of the
entertainments. Her rendition of Longfel-
lows poem, was exceedingly beautiful. and
her voice highly cultivated. 1t is sufficient
To say that she deserved all the ''laurels''
shoWered upon her, and that she received
them WIFI captivating grace. MISS L.. NJ
looked remarkably well, and whispers of
admiration were exchanged whenever she
mode her appearance. Miss +. G.. H-who
is stranger to us, but who kindly consent
ed to 'act her part lifted up her voice.
and for awhile, carried US to a land, where
naught was heard but the "songs of flowers
Her voice is one of true melody.
Miss K. R (our especial favOrite) at last
made her appearance, and we felt indeed
~As if we were extending greeting to
spring" as she came in all her beauty and
freshness. Her voice rang in clear, silvery
notes, above all others, and her Away
made Us feel If we could never AWAY
from scene so enchanting.
All seemed in fine spirits, and inclined to
laugh at everything amusing. At one time.
in shifting the scenes, they made spasmodic
efforts to shift themselves, and our XMay
or, kindly going to their assistance, found
himself covered with huge doOrS invOlun-
tariiy reminding us of a miniature Samson.
Carryi ing the gates of GAIA. The Tableaux
were beautiful and reflected great credit on
the manager who has only given us another
evidence of her exquisite taste and brilliant
imaginations.
Indeed, the whole affair was a perfect
success and we hope the ladies will feel
fully repaid for the amount of labor expen-
ded. CRITIC.-

EDITORS CLARIoS-In last Thursdays
issue of the Pilot, there appeared an article
headed. The Banner Election at the Sis
ter's Fair" in which reference was made to
Jackson Fire Company No. l, and myself as
foreman.
In the beginning l beg to express the re-
gret feel and in which | am sure the true
firemen of both companies sympathiZe, that
any discussion should occur having a ten
dency TO mar the harmony and good fellow
ship which has always characterized the
tiremen OF Jackson. do not intend at this
day to discuss the relative merits of that
election, or the business in excluding any
votes from the count; l shall ply allude
to the fact that when the committee com
puted the result. the 900 votes proposed by
No. were not in the ballot-boX, but We're
found in the pocket OF a member of the Gem
Company. AS I said before, do not intend
10 argue in reference to this matter. for /
conceive it to be my duty as gentleman u
subscribe to the report of that committee OF
six (three of whom were from the Geml
who were acting in the capacity of board
of honor, especially when had entered in
to pledge with Foreman eastman, in be-
halt OF our respective companies, to agree
to that report and abide by its decision. And
now, as the only response | have to make.
desire to state that it it is the endeaYor of
the writer TO insinuate that Jackson Fire
was disposed to do anything that was a vio-
latiOn of any pledge or agreement, or that
our action in the premises were not those of
gentlemen, I pronounce It falsehOOd, and
the author as guilty of a wllful and mali
cious perversiOn OF the truth.
