Central road for its short line of 81 miles

rate of $1,000 per mile per year We do
not know what this road cost, but the

with its equipment, while the Canada
roads are said to have averaged SIS, 900

The great argument urged in favor of
the narrOw>gauge system is the saving
made In dispensing With unnecessary
dead weight in the cars-weight which
it costs just as much to move as if it was
paying freight. The argument is very
simple Practical experience has shown
that ten of tbe narrOw-gauge cars carry
as much freight as eight broad-gauge
cars, while one narrow gauge car, loaded
with FIVE and a half tons of freigh-
weighs no more than broad gauge one
empty. But there is also a very gr q
saving in the cost OF construction and
equipment of narrow gauge roads over
those of the ordinary gauge; while for
mountainous regions the narrow-gauge
has an immense advantage over the vile
in respect of its superior facilities for
taking trains over sharp curves and up
ascending grades. Indeed, trains can be

The Great Antagonist of Disease.

What is the natural antagonist of disease? 1t
s the vital principle. From the moment that
disease is developed in the system, this cham
pion fights the intruder until it either conquers
or is conquered Which side should medicinal
science espouse in tn S life and death struggle? !?
Should it depress and cripple the physical ener-
gies of the patient, thereby helping the disor-
der or should it reinforce the vitality of the pa
titnt and thereby assist in quelhng the ailment?
o. course the proper answer to this question
must be obvious to every one above the srade Of
an idiot or a Iunatc, and hence it follows that
the weak and broken down invalid who chooses
to dose himself with depicting slops instead of
toning invigoratng and vitalizing his enervated
rnme with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters must
be either feeble-minded or deranged. Surely
nothing short of imbecility or insanity could in
duce person laboring under bodily weakness
and nervous prostration to take day after day
powerful doses of some drastic purgative in the
hope Of gaining strength thereby. Although
har atans may advertise preparations Of this
character as toncs, people in the full possess
sion of their reason cannot, one would think,
accept them as such. If they do the penalty OF
their credulity may be the shortening Of their
lives. The rheumatic, the dyspeptc, the bill
ious, the debitated and nervous, and all who
are subject to intermittents. other diseases
brought on by the inclement weather which pre-
walls at this season, will do well to strengthen
heir nerves, tone Their stomac and regulate
their bowels with the Btters The two-fOld op-
eration of the restorative az an invgorant and
an aperient in add ton to its direct and specific
fleet upon the disordered liver. renders it q
most efficient remedy for complaints of the di
gestve secretive and excretive organs, at pres
ent in use This fact is conceded by eminent
members of the faculty whose testimony to that
effect is published in Hostetter's Almanac for

The PUBLIC ScHooL.-TLe public School Of
Auburn, under the Management of Mr. NJ. Low
I'll and Miss Cinda Lytle, is, we are pleased to
state, in as fine working order, judging from
what we could see during short visit, as it can
be under the circumstances. Both of the
teachers have had extensive experience in the
school room; each has the reputation of being
successful teacher, and they are evidently ex-
ertng themselves almost beyond human power
to sustain heir reputation. But, we are sorry t.
sly, they are laboring under great disadvantages.
No teacher in the world, and we speak from au-
thority as we'll as experience, can do entire JUS
tice to 80 pupils of nearly or quite one-fourth
as many grades; and particularly their efforts
devoid of satisfactory results when these 81
pupils crowded into an undue small apart
ment; yet the Auburn school register shows that
over l20 pupils attend, averaging daily about TO-
and examination of the school house will
convince any one that the rooms are large for
.ot more than 35 pupils each 40 at the out
side. Then here is the difficulty: The teachers
have about one-third more pupils than they can
successfully handle and they have not room
enough by about one-third, even if they were
able to do justice to all. Then, from this. it is
positively certain that we need another school
room and another teacher, and, in our opinion,
ICE need them bad. Everybody knows this. The
need Of them has been talked Of for years. but
talk will not build school houses. Last Fall
there was one very commendabie effort made by
If Trustees to provide these essential aduncts
20 our public school, but it so happened that
5he people of Auburn, about that time, thought
hey saw grand and imposing Semin ry loom
jng up in Their midst, and could not stoop so
low as to lend their assistance to anything Of
un important pret, ntions addition 10
the public school house. No, SIR, the cry went
forth, and good many men with it to election
eer, who ougi; to have known better, Let us
defeat this addition project and then il the
Seminary should be a failure, we can throw ell
our force onto the public school question, and
erect a grand new school house, The Semin-
ary was built not; yet the new school house has
failed to make its appearance. All this Semin-
AIRY and new school house talk was bunconbe
to defeat good move, and those who barkened
such talk are sorry. If onr Trustees will put
,he same proposition before the people now they
id then, it will BE- successful. Let us have the
add tion. The Trustees have no right to be dis
couraged. '1f at first you don't succeed try
igain." That's what the tea cher told the chill
