FROM WEST MILLcRovE.

WEST MILLaRovE, Feb. 10, 1874.
Bro. 6hsffsr spent few days with us
last week.
Business is Just about "so-So."
s. NJ. Bower started for Hasting, Neb.,
yesterday.
Rv. Culver closed his pr0tracted meet
ing on Sunday evening. lis success was
but meagre.
Burr, the LATEST man in the county,
went to the woods on ground
hogs dsy-for load Of wood. Coming
back the horse could not pull the load,
with him on 1t, so he threw of the woou
and wi h majestic pride aud pompous
glory rode In himself.
Il. d. NJ. embraced "an opp ortunity"
en- Saturday night. Since then he has
had sore eyes.
A little the thinest article seen lately,
is ia the shape of a communication from
"L.," of this place, to the Fostoria Repiep,
published last week. IL is about as newsy
and interesting as a State School Commits
sioner's Report. Firstly, "L." says,
there Is grandmother In this place not
yet 80 years old" This, plainly, is not
so. Next, the "hsrd.wear" paragraph
was stolen, verbatim, from q December
Issue of the Chlc'go Advanoe.
One place IL" says that "Mlllgrove is
s'aRnating for want of excitement" and
that 1--WE had not heard of any drinking
being done, &S.," and In another, turns
right around and censures the boys for
carousing.
There is cagse for such proceedings.
An unprincipled individual, who profess.
es to keep hlgh-toned grocery, but in
reality Seeps low doggery-whn, by the
way, is an intimate friend of "L's"-do g
sell to boys of all ages, Intoxicating diiuk,
cAreing fJr naught except the almighty
dollar. This ia why so many OF our boy g
and young men are on the downward
road To rum. But of course IL" don't
Ash 1t gsnsrAl.y understood that any
great amount OF drinking is done, as IL

cery.'
So, "L.," hereafter in writing a COM
munication, don't try to get off any witty
slurs on certain parties, just to please the
J nior editor; or pass any old gags" as
! original, but write news news is what
ths readers ofA local paper look for, and
not transparent uash j. EDD.

1t was said viltue ennobles all, and IS

to balance all vice in the opposite part Of

There Is no need of ism or creed.
Wherever such a one goes, he convinoes
C mmon intelligence that there Is truly a

virtue does, than define what virtue is.
Whereas, she ia, perhaps, altogether In,

A CARD.

DIR. Burner, and Lady, will please accept
our most hearty thanks for complimentary
tickets to their very interesting, highly in
strustive and eminently useful course of
lectures. And, believing as we do, that
they are engaged in most laudable and
philanthropic enterprise, intimately inter
woven with the salvation of our race, we
bid them God-speed in their praise-worthy
labors and hail them as eo-laborers in
Gods vineyard. We sincerely regret that
the preiudices Of some have prevented their
attendance, thus depriying themselves and
others of the benefits Of these thoroughly
scientific lectures--a privilege that may
not again occur in life time. Having
ourselves attended these lectures we are
fully prepared to most cordially recon-
mend the Doctor and his Lady, with their
gentlemanly manager, to the patronage Of
any appresiatipe community.
Very respectfully,

That lovslier aud brighter day.
Only beyond this suffering world;
