SPECIAL NOTICES.
About yonesville.

Mr.. EDITOR Some of regularly read
your paper, and suppose that we will have to
enoroach on your columns q line or two for this .
privilege.
There is no news of much Importance in and
about the surroundings. The latest agony is
that the Depot at Jonesville is to be moved about
three quarters of mile West above the resi-
denoe of Daniel Gallman. The Depot has been
standing where II now is about IA years, during
which time lots have been bought und improved.
Four good public roads, well located, centre on
this point, and all the surroundings designate
the present locality as the one most suitable for
o Depot.
We know that the celebrated surveyor banks
high on the grade at this point, but we have
never seen any great inconvenience in the stop
pages and starts of the trains, and If they cam
pass by on the main track a side track can be
put in which would answer every purpose. The
Depot was once located at tho rplsce whore. ~
is now proposed movIng IL to; but the incon-
yenieucs Of tho f0cation caused the patrons top
clasnux4pd q petition was got up, aud h wSs
moied ek toftspresent .looslit. ~ i. -.
We sf6stnformed that the parties processing
the move offer 8 acfesr Of land, and propose to
bnid an addition to tae old depot whom moved
We, the citizens of Jonesville offer EQUALLY as
much to let it stay where il best suits the whole
country, and if the Depot is too small for the
trade carried on at this place we are ready, if
required, to enlarge it, and if side track is
needed we are ready to "break dirt and have
one put In at once.
We want 1t understood that we are not op-
posed to progress, but that in the election for
the $15OO0O subscription to the Western ex-
tension of this road only one or two dissenting
votes appeared; and one man who owns properly
here rode in the cold to distribute the ballot
boxes, and no doubt through his influence, with
that Of many others, the project was carried, be-
sides he privately subscribed $5OO.OO himself.
and got two others to subscribe like amounts
In view Of all this we would be compelled to
think ourselves aggrieved if the old Depot is
picked up and carried off to n new location to
suit the few to the discontinue of the many;
and we are persuaded better things of our ac-
tive, energetic and gentlemanly Superintenden
than this; and if he needs assistance to enlarge
his Depot or put IN a side track we are on hand.

The County Fair.

The County Fair.
MIR. EDITOR :-Tbe "bill Of fare presenteJ
oy the Executive Committee under the auspices
OF the Pomona Grange is sufficiently tempting,
II would seem, TO draw out everybody in the
town and country who feels u spark of interest
In developing the resources Of the County.-
But for fear that some peorle may not be alive
to the Importance Of feeling an interest, we beg
leave to offer o few suggestions
Many people will be deferred from bripainp
an animal, field product, q garden vegetable. a
jelly "r jam, pot ofIbutter or jar Of lard. or
On article of needle work, patchwork or embroid-
cry, from belief or feeling that somebody will
have something nicer on exhibition.
Now, this Is not the proper spirit, and no
County will ever get up decent exhibition
where the people are influenced by such actions
We have had good deal to do with Peirs and
have often heard visitors exclainn, "if ~ had
known what we know now we could have beat
good many things here on exhibition" We
remember once an old gentleman took us ont to
show us his herd Of cattle. They were fat and
good looking. "Do you think that thsy vii,
take Premium he asked. We replied, don't
know; but there's nothing like trying. He
sent them and came home with his pocket full
Of Premiums
The great object Of Fair is improyement.-
II "Mr. Nobody" never went from home. he
would never know but he had the best of every.
thing But IL he goes ont and dnds that other
people have better things, his judgment 70 i'm.
proved, his eyes opened to conviction and be.
sets to work to improve his condition. Then
tho interest Of Fair much depends upon the
variety-overy little thing helps and everybody
who has anything on exhibition naturally feels
more interest In the exhibition than II he had
nothing. The resources Of Country are main.
ly brought to notice by means Of those Rurs,
Exhibitions, and in the Western, North western
and middle States, all the great Agricultural
States, immense crowds turn out at their County
Fairs, everything that is rare, useful or interest
ing is on exhibition, and social influences IA
disseminated which compacts the Agricultural
class into brotherhood which Is now manifsst.
ing itself In the Oranges rs one Of the most
powerful In the government.
We entreat every one to turn out--not for the
paitry premium, but the peoples good.

New Cotton Scales.

Our worthy Town Council are doing good SER
vice for the town. Having heard complaints
among the farmers against the old "grass-hop-
per- machine formerly used in this market for
weighing Cotton, they have very properly pur-
chased pair of Fairbanks Platform Standard
Scales for that purpose, so that there can be no
good cause for dispute or complaint hereafter
about the weight or weigher Of Cotton.
80 bring on your Cotton, gentlemen. Our Cot
ton Buyers pay full prices, are anxious to buy,
and will sell you goods but little above bankrupt
and failing prices. They propose to deal hon.
estly' dH round. They do not propose to pull
wool over your eyes while they sell you articles
at nigh prices and then remove it so that Won
may see how awful cheap ~ they sell others
we have known men to go to other markets and
save 5O cents on two sacks Of salt while they
paid from S3 to SIS more for bill of other arti.
cies than they could have bought them in this
town. That's what we call ''comical economy."
MIR. FAINT. the weigher, Is an honest man and
wishes to satisfy all parties. He, therefore.
proposes to any one dissatisfied with his weigh.
ing that they shall call in responsible friend to
examine the scales, and have the Cotton weiehsd

We should Hike to see the following test made,
When bale of Cotton does not hold out upon
our scales with the weight at the gin, let the
same bale be taken back, the steelyards at the
gin properly adjusted, and then weigh the Cot
ton again. If there is difference then, there
must be something wrong somewhere and should
be found out; but we must not condemn one
weigher without being sure that the other is
right We have seen q bale of Cotton gain ton
pounds, even on the old "grasshopper' used by
MIR. Fant' and errors are as likely to occur on
one side as the other.

For you and me who love the light
OF Gods uncloistered day,
1t were indeed, q dreary lot


OF Gods uncloistered day,
1t were indeed, a dreary lot
To shut ourselves away
From every glad and sunny thing, k.s.
And pleasant sight and sound,
And 59m out q silent cell
Into u lent round.
Z: Z: % ~ oed monk, Anselm, thought,
&sr14 bis cloister's shade.
= The cheerful faith that lit his heart
Its own'sweet sunshine made
And IN Ats glow he prayed and wrote,
From matin song till even,
And trusted in the Book of Life
To read his name in Heaven.
What Holy Books his gentle art
Filled full of sanity lore!
What pages frightened by his hand
The splen lid missals borel
What blossoms, almost fragrant, twined
Around each blessed name!
And how his Saviour's cross and crown
Shone out from cloud and flame!
But unto clerk and unto clown.
One summons comes alway,
And Brother Anselm heard the call
AT vesper chime, one day
His busy pen was in his hand,
Ills parchment by his side
lie oent him Ger the half-writ prayer,
Kissed jesus name and died
They laid him where windows blaze
Flashed o'er the craven stone,
And seemed to touch his simple name,
With pencil like his own;
And there he slept, and, one by one,
His brothers died the while,
And trooping years went by, and trod
His name from off the aisle.
"And lifting up the pavement, then,
An Abbots couch to spread,
They let the jeweled sunlight in
Where once lay Anselm' 8 head.
No crumbling bone was there, no trace
or human dust that told
But, oil alone, warm right hand
Lay fresh upon the mould!
1t was not stiff, as dead mems are,
But, with tender clasp,
1t seemed to hold IN unseen hand
Within its living grasp;
And ere the trembling monks could turn
To hide their dazzled eyes,
1t rose. as with a sound of wings,
Right up into the skies
Oh! loving. open hands, that give
Soft hands the tears that dry;
Oh, patient hands, that toll to bless,
How can ye ever def
Ten thousand vows from yearning hearts
-naa u btss Mssysn.s SOW, owl iEatss shall sCssi
Those unseen angels bore -
Kind hands ! oh never near to you
May come the woes you heal!
Oh never may the hearts ye guard
The griefS ye comfort feel
May lie, In whose sweet name ye build,
80 crown the work ye rear,
That ye may never clasped be
In one unanswered prayer!
