THE STORM.

The severe storm which visited the
northern and eastern portions of our
State, Wisconsin an other regions,
failed to put in an appearance in our
much favored locality. We had some
severe storms here last winter, and for
some reason, exaggerated descriptions
of them were pretty well circulated ov-
er the Continent but this winter has
been uniformly beautiful and free from
storms. Our altitude and peculiar re-
lationship to surrounding localities, Sc
cures for us exemption from the. climat-
&c exigencies encountered in less favor
ed regions. Time will yet demonstrate
that this particular locality poss =sses
more climatic advantages both in win
ter and summer than can be found any
where else on the Continent.
The Jackson Republic, speaking of
the removal of the Land Office to Wor-
Ellington, says:
"Our Congressman is entitled to
credit for having used his efforts to
keep the Office here as long as it has, es-
peeialy while the constant teasing and
whining Of the egregiously avarlcious
Col0nists at Worthington has been
poured into his ears in one incessant
stream for two years past"
AAh1 they shall gnaw .file.'' The
truth is that no attempt was ever made
to have the land office removed to Wor-
Ellington until the early part of the
winter. The three or four counties ly-
ing west of Jackson long since felt the
Inconvenience of going thirty miles
from the railroad, and to a town which
is virtually on the eastern limit of the
district, to reach the Land Office. Their
case was so clear that they had only to
ask for the removal to secure it.
Miller, Humiston & Co. seem to have
unbounded faith in the agricultural dc.
partment Of the Colony enterprise, az
they have engaged in agricultural
schemes on all extended scale. They
have four large farms under cultivation
which they propose to make the
model farms of the County. The Ochee-
dafarm will be in charge Of, and under
the supervision of Capt. Miner during
the ensuing year the Okabena farm
will be managed by Mr.: Sargent the
Buckeye by Nh. Fletcher, and the City
farm by VIM. II. Sprague. AS these
farms are to be cultivated according to
the best methods known to the agricul-
tural art, the results cannot fail to he

SALUTATORY.

The recent suspension of the AD-
VANCE, and transfer of it's editor to a
different field Of labor, renders it neces-
sary for others to discharge the duties
of the editorial chair. The present pro-
prietors of the ADVANCE miller, Hum
iston & co., have opened negotiations
with gentleman in an eastern city,
and We are warranted in saying
That he will, in all probability, take
charge of the Office at an early
day-not as an employee, but as one Of
its proprietors. Being practical prin-
ter as well as a competent editor, he
will prove valuable accession to the
enterprise.
There seems to be an opinion enter
tanned by many that the present pro-
prietors of the ADVANCE desire to con-
fine it's publication exclusively to the
interests of the National Colony
Now we are authorized to say that such
is~not the fact, and suspension of
judgment is asked until this opinion is
contradicted by actual demonstration.
The chief aim il to make the AD-
VANCE the true and unflinching repre-
sentative of the peoples interest. The
general interest Of one is the general
Interest of all. We are in favor of
free and independent Journal, wherein
the honest convictions of all men may
find respectful utterance. A newspa-
per should never be prostituted to the
circulation of personal prejudice or
party spite, but should apply criticism
to wrongs as the surgeon applies his
scalpel to ulcers but as to the weak
ness of individuals, it should adhere
othe motto: "Mallce toward none and
charity for ALL" Pledging our enter
prise to the prom1G on of juctice and
the advancement of truth, we frater-
nally invite the cooperation of all par
ties interested in the general welfare of
the race.-Ed. pro tenn.

All judicious pastors discourage familiarity
on the part Of their people. especially of the
female denomination. For this way lies the
danger. A silly woman, pious, perhaps, but
very soft and shallow, hears the stirring words
of her eloquent pastor, is reused, warmed ex-
allied, soothed-she thinks edifed-and straight
way she Believes him to be the man sent to do
her good. She goes to his study to tell him so;
how much enjoyment she finds in his words; or
she writes him letter and pours out her little
soul full Of twaddle about her gratitude for
what her dear pastor has done for her; how she
sis lifted up'' by his Instructions; how she
loves him as a friend given to be her guide and
comfort, and so on, and so on. more and worse,
running into a Inawkisi sentmentality, a sick
ening man-worship. Disgusting to every sensi-
