EDITOR AUBURN HERALD.-The exhibition of
Rosevlle school last Thursday evening, was all
that it promised and much more. The large
room used was completely filed standing room
being at a premium. The exercises commenced
at O'Clock, and continued until eleven. Not
withstandng the very uncomfortable seats and
crowded condition of the Hall, all seemed to
regret that the exercises closed so soon, they
having been kept during the entire three hours
IN sea of mirth. I am sorry to inform you
the election for raising special school tax was
failure, on account of the picnic coming off at
that time. Not enough persons were present to
constitute a full board The Trustees decided
1t would not be legal, and, therefore, did not
open the polls. The work must all be done
over again l send you an essay written, and
read at the close of the school, by Miss Cora
Taylor.

In speaking of our facilities for accommodating
the trancient public, it says, auburn has
several fine hotels, the principals being the

we also have the Orleans Hotel, Mrs Adrian's

Smiths hotel at the Depot. As for princi-
pals, it is really hard to tell which they are
The prices are about the same in each, and they

seven good hotels, and what speaks well for the

But this should, we think, be no reason for
leaving out half of the business, in an article
sent broadcast to the world. 1t is too much
like cutting off the nose to spite the face. The
papers are doing all they can to build up the
town, and make business, not alone for the ho-
tels but for every branch of trade. Trades
men must be brought to realize this fact, and
then they will advertise with us, and do every
thing else they for our benefit, to the full
extent of their ability. Let the hotels feel, and
the business men generally, feel, that at least
one-foulth of their patronage comes from men
and families which they never would have seen
had it not been for the inducements held out
through Their local papers, and they will then
certainly not begrudge us dollar or two a
month for their advertisement, which, i'll itself
will bring them ten-fod its cost.

MYTHS.

Some of the oldest and quaint
est stories in Prof. Fiske's book
of myths" relate to bargains
With the devil, in which the devil
gets cheated. He buys souls in a
perfectly mercantile way; the
note is given, payable in a GER
tain number of years; the prom
isors receive the consideration,
and yet they manage to elude the
devil by out-deviling him in
shrewdness. We give an example,:
ain the legend of Grambrinus
the flend is still more ingloriously
defeated. Gambrinus was a fd-
dler, who being Tilted by his sweet
heart went out into the woods to
hang himself. AS he was sitting
on the pillow, with the cord about
his neck, preparatory to taking
ing the fatal plunge, suddenly a
tall man IN q green coat appeared
before him and offered his servi-
ces. He might become as wealthy
as he liked, and make his sweet
heart burst with vexation at her
own folly, but in thirty years he
must give up his soul to beelzebub.
The bargain was struck, for
GambTinus thought thirty years a
long time to enjoy oze's self in,
and perhaps the devil might get
him in any event; as well be hung
for a sheep as for lamb. Aided
by Satan, he invented Ginning
bells and lager beer, for both of
which achievements his name is
held in grateful remembrance by
the Teutons. No sooner had the
Holy Roman Emperor quatfed a
gallon or two of the new bever-
age than he made Gambrinus Duke
of Brabant and Count of Flanders,
and then it was the fiddler's turn
to laugh at the discontinue of his
old sweetheart. Gambrinus kept
clear of women, says the legend,
and so lived in peace. For thirty
years he sat beneath the belfry
with the chimes, meditatively
drinking beer with his mobiles and
burghers around him Then beel-
zebub sent Jocko one of his imps,
with orders to bring back Gam
brinus before midnight. But
Jocko was, like Swiyeller's Mar
chIoness, ignorant Of the taste of
beer, never having drank of it
even in a ship, and the Flemish
schoppen were too much for him.
He fell into drunken sleep, and
did not wake up till noon next
day, at which he was so mortified
that he had not the face to go
back to hell at all. So Gambrin-
us lived on TRANQUILITY for a CEN
fury or two, and drank so much
beer that he turned in to beer
barrel.

1t has been found that an iron
wire may be twisted merely by
passing an electric current along it.
The torsions are produced By the
combined influence of helical and
axias electric currents, one current
passing through along copper-wire
coil surrounding the bar of wire,
and the other in an axial direction
through the iron itself. The cause
of them is the combined influence OF
magnetism in the ordinary longitu-
dinal direction induced in the bar
by the coil-currenf, aud transverse
