THE statement that has been made in
some papers, regarding the failure of the
Aldine Company, is contradicted by the
treasurer of the company, who says the
paper was never in more flourishing con-
dition, and finanoiallythe Aldine rests on a
solid foundation. We are glad to be able
to contradict these rumors, for the failure
of the ALDINE would be great loss to the
cause of art and literature.

1t may be of interest to the old friends Of
DR.. Weber in your vicinity to learn the
impression he has produced in his new field
of labor, the regular duties of which he
assumed on the l2th inst. He is regarded
with great personal esteem and is likely to
exercise considerable influence for good. so
cially As time proceeds he will become
and more welded to the affections of his
people, who comprise some of the lead
ing citizens of Troy. As preacher,
the strength. beauty, fervor and impress
siyeness of his sermons have been admirlns-
~ commented upon, and he has displayed
such scholarly elegance and real Christian
enthusiasm combined, As 10 lead some
critics to pronounce him fa1ie priHceps
among his theological brethren in this city.
lie has expressed commendable aversion
to mere dogmatics, and evidently believes
that a straightforward, earnest presenta-
ton of the truth carries with it power.
His congregation is very particular one
and it was highly complimentary to DR..
Weber that he was chosen from the numer-
Gus candidates who during the interregnum
exhibited their gifts. The whilom college
professor promises to accomplish far more

EssEx.-The prospect seems now very fair
that the unsightly stone structure, built in
1888 and occupied for school-house, at the
Centre, will soon give place to a new, neat
and substantial wooden building altogether
more comfortable and pleasant. The writer
attended the first school held in that build
ing, and also the High School in the Sec
ond story. Henry j. Raymond of the N. Y.
Times taught one term of that school,
which was then called the Academy. He
made his maiden political speech in the log
cabin which was erected just west of the
store now occupied by &. II. Brown, in 1910
Mr. Raymond was capital teacher and an
active politician at that time. This new
manifestation of enterprise among the peo
pie of the Centre will be followed up, We
trust, by other much needed improvements.
There is large common in front and
around the Brick Church which might be
converted into beautiful shady park in
few years, by little public spirit and ener-
", in setting out the trees and protecting
them by suitable lenc~. We commend it
a worthy object.

of their uniitness to render their last ac-
