FLUrTERIsa.-The addresses of Pro-
fessors Tyndall and Huxley to the Brit.
ish Association at Belfast are causing
much excitement and comment in re.
ligious circles. The other day, at a
meeting OF the San Francisco Congrega
tional Club, composed entirely Of clergy
men, the subject was discussed. though
without coming to any decided conclu'
sion. The general spirit of the discus.
sion seemed to be very fair and remark
ably free from dogmatic bigotry and in
tolerance. One of the members, Mr..
Adams, made an amusing remark which
shows the faulty of some folks when
their favorite tenets are attacked. This
gentleman said he thought that his Sun
day School scholars could answer the in
quiries Of these scientists. There must
be some remarkably precocious children
attending that mans Sunday School.
The Internal Revenue officers of San
Francisco are sweet lambs. They seize
mans goods illegally, then, when COM
PEELED to restore their plumber, demand
storage which, not being paid, these Off
Gals, in fit of majestic anger inconti-
nently destroy the goods. DR.. johnson,
the great English photographer, in the
early editions of his dictionary, defined
the English excise law as an odious tax
on commodities. Our Internal Revenue
taxes are imposts Of like nature. They
are odious as impeding industry, and
restricting enterprise, and thereby obi.
Gus, for the tyrannical, unfair and cor
rupt manner in which they are levied
and collected.

CRANKY.

Frank Ormsby, little son of
Joseph Ormshy, fell from the high
beams Of the barn on.the 9th inst.
injuring himself severely, and it is
feared permanently.
Rev. S. r. Hall, L. L. D. is still
supplying the desk of the Congrega-
tional Church in this place, and though
in 10Th year, is able to preach every
Sabbath, attend the weekly meetings,
and do full pastoral labors.
The oldest inhabitant of the town
is Nathaniel Bell. who has spent most
of his life in this and the adjoining
town Of Victory. He came TO this
town when it was comparatively new,
"when the howl Of the wolf was often
heard here, and here the sly fox often
came to destroy" His age is 8S.
A. NJ. Carpenter met with an acct
dent on the 18th. He was getting
wood and thinning out some maple
trees and had cut one which did not
fall. He took hold of it and LITE Il it
off the stump when his foot slipped
and the tree came down on his foot
cutting hole through his boot and
stocking as square as could be done
with an AK, cutting his foot very bad
ly.
We notice by the Newport EGpresS
of the 9th inst. that E. p. & L. A.
Shores were putting the machinery in
to their saw mill. The man they ex-
pected to do the work has not put in
an appearance, and report says is
not likely to. The mill in question
is situated on the road leading from
the main road over to the Shores
peighborhood and so near the road
that the carriage is ito In across it..
The situation is such that it will be
very dangerous driving horses past
the mill, If it is ever put in operation.

Our Selectmen have issued their
sual yearly warning against sliding

hing about slipping down, however,
o we presume there are 40 objections
b this unpleasant amusement.

purths of mile from his house, he

A. j. Congdon Esq. of Lancaster
as had to send to Boston tog fresh
ork to supply his customer. Now
oes that tell all right for the farmers
this section? Every farmer should
aise pork to sell. There are not
ne half of the farmers wintering a
hoat in town this winter. Every
hrmer should keep one shoat, and
my one that keeps dairy should
eep three or four. 1t don't cost but
tile to winter shoats and keep them
rowing. Raise pigs for your own
Sc and to sell, Late spring pigs
ere worth Sd OF S. apiece; that is
ne reason that pork is scarce and
igh- farmers ask so much for their
igs and don't keep and raise enough
supply the markets, consequently
gs are so high that village people
nd mechanics will not buy, but pre-
Fr to buy pork. One of our neigh
prs bought white Chester pig the
Rnd day of September, for which he
nd $3.50; he fed it Che skinned
ilk from one COW, with the slops
ON the house and five bushels of

eeks old it weighed when dressed
pa lbs. That pork did not cost as
uch as it would to have sent to

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and

may rely for full protection. BY curing Coughs,

unnumbered lives, and an amount OF suffering

vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
