a Visit to the Female College,
Elit0u Of the IutelIgencer:


Editou Of the lntellgencer:
1t was our pleasure not long since to
spend very delightful evening at the
Female College, and we were highly graf
flied to see the evidences Of improvement,
and learn the encouraging condition OF
affairs.
The College seems to have taken new
lease of lie. The Principal reports near
ly hundred young ladies in attendance,
from the representative families OF the
city.
It is earnestly to be desired that the
people Of the community will really feel
that it is their College, and give it their
support and encouragement in every
possible way, that it may become
one OF the brightest ornaments OF
our rapidly growing city, The Principal
was very enthusiastic, over the beauties
Of magnificent bOuqucnt that ornament
cd the center table OF the college parlor.
We readily guessed that Il was the gift Of
our esteemed fellow townsman, Thomas
EIornbrook, Esq, firm friend Of the
college, and every other object that has
for lis basis the elevation and uplifting OF
humanity. As We stood admiring this
lovely floral offering, the beautiful verses
of Mrs. Hemans were called to rcmem-
beranCe,
"Oh let US live, 10 that flower by flower
Shutting In turn, may leave
A lingCTCT still for the sunset hour,
A charm for the shaded eve.

Wheeling and Lake Erie Rail
road.

To tho Editor Of the SluubenvillO Gazette:
As u misunderstanding has arisen be-
tween some Of tho stockholders OF the
Wheeling& Lake Erie Road and the Of
fcers, will you allow me to correct this
impression, a. many Of them claim that
twenty.eight miles OF the road were to be
finished before the stockholders should
pay any money. The terms OF the con.
tract between the directors and II. i.
Wilson and Andrew |, Park, were that
they, the contractors should grade twen-
ty.eight miles before the company paid
them any Of the local subscriptions,
This had nothing whatever TO do with
the stockholders paying their install
ments as called for by the board, under
the Statute Laws, governing incorpOra-
tiOns, and Is not condition in the books
Of subscription to the company, The di-
rcctors are asking nothing unreasonable
Now that the work Is to be pushed they
ask that tho instalments be paid regular
ly, 10 per cent. monthly, Should there
be any unreasonable delay on the part OF
any one, the collectors are authorized to
make out the accounts and place them in
the proper officers hands for collection,
with interest from August Goth, 1874. II
paid promptly under the supplemental
call no interest will be charged.

PREPARE FOR WtNrER.-Mnch Of the
suffering experienced by certain classes,
during the frosty weeks Of winter, is the
result Of impr6videncc. There is little
or no thought or forecast Of the future.
The wood and coal is not laid in until ii
is needed along through the winter. 1t
then costs more, and Is usually only the
cullings, and Of poorer quality. The
family groceries and provisions are pur-
chased in small quantities, and, COnsc-
oucntly, ut the highest retail prices,
whereas, by little iotethought :and
prudent management, nearly every iami-
could lay in a supply for month or two
ahead, nj Is to 20 per cent. less cost for
cash than they are paying for their pur-
chases in driblets. II saves time, too, and
is thus a double economy. But poverty
is offered "A plea Of inability to buy a
month ahead. Yet the poverty, II there
be any in the case, is frequently the result
Of this improvident, slip.shod mode Of
management, or rather mismanagement,

We learn from Mr.. II, II. Snodgrass
thathe has sold eighty of the celebrated
Mccormick Reapers, Mowers and Har-
vesters this spring, to be delivered at
Dallas. This is much greater num-
Der than has been sold of all other
kinds together, and shows the estma-
ton in which these machines are
held.
The Mccormick machines are de-
servedly popular, rs they are without
doubt the most durable, simplest and
most Efficient Reapers, Mowers and
Harvesters manufactured, and our far
mers show their good sense in buying
q machine that lasts and does the best
Of work under all circumstances.
Mr.. Snodgrass expects to sell two
hundred Mccormick machines at Dali
las this year. His Office and sample
depot, just west of the postoffice, are

Some dealers say; Yes, we know
that DR.. Prices Flavoring Extracts
and Cream Baking Powder are the
best, but we don't care if others are
made of sawdust or arsenic so long as
they suit our customers and afford us a
better profit, we shall sell them. The
public should know these things, and
know too the reasons why adulterated
baking powders and llavoring extracts
are recommended 10y such dealers when
DR.. Prices are asked for, 1t is because
DR.. Prices cost more, and as they sell
them at about the same price as 9TH
