"a Magnificent Conception, wonderfully
carri d ont"

Tho necessity Of popular medium for the
representation OF the productions Of our great
artists, has always been recognized. aDd many
The successive failures whIcH- -"' the want
followed each attempt in this country u esfs6-
lish an art journal, did not prove the indiffer-
ence U { the people of America TO the claims OF
high art. SO soon as proper appreciation OF
the want aud an ability to meet il were shown.
Tie public at once rallied with an enthusiasm Il
its support and the result was a great artistic
and CONNIE rcial triumph-THE ALDINE.
THE ALDINE, while issued with all the
regularity, has none of the temporary or
tio,e{y interest characteristic OF ordinary peri
odicals IL is an elegant miscellany OF pure,
lie ht and graceful literature and q collection
of uiclur0s, the rArest specimens OF artistic
skill, in black aud white. Although each sue
ceeding number aff'rd fresh pleasure tn It's
friends, the real value and beauty Of The AL
DINE will be most appreciated after |. is bound
mn at the close Of the year. While other pub
lications may claim superior cheapnsss. as
compared with rivals of similar class, TIE
ALDINE is uniqe and original conception
| alone and unapprIacbed-absO ntely without
competition in price or character. The pos
sessnr of complete volume can not duplicate
/ the quantity Of fine paper and ehgravings in
| any other sha pc or number of volumes Inr ten
time, ia cnsi; aud then, there Is The clromo besides
! The national feature of THE ALDINE must
| be taken in no marrow sense. True art is cos
mnp0itan. While THE ALDINE Is strict'y '
American institution. Il does not confne i.sel
entirely to the reproduction Of native art. II,
mission isto cultivate brad and apprecia'
tive art taste, one that will discriminate only
on grounds of intrinsic merit. Thus. while
placing before the patrons Of TnE ALDISE, al
a leading characteristics, the productions Of th'
| mn.t noted American artists, attention will al
ways be given to specimens from foreign mas
ters, giving subscribers all the pleasure anC
instruction obtainable from home or forsigl
snur:es.
The artistic illustration Of American seenerJ
original with THE ALDISR, is an important fea
ture, and its magnificent plates are OF siz
more appropriate to the satisfactory treStmen
of details than can be afforded by any inferio
page. Tie judicial interspersi"n Of landscape
marine, figure and animal subjects, sustain al
unabated interest, impossible where the scop
of the work confines the artist too closely to
single style Of subject. The literature OF Tn
ALDrHEis light and graceful accompaniment
worthy Of the artistic features, with only suc'
technical disQuisitions as do not interfere wi;
| the Dopular interest OF the work.

sabbath School Teaehers.-It seems t,

Sabbath School Teaehers.-1t seems to
rs that in many instances, especially in towns
where there are no public Libraries, the la
bors of the Sabbath School teachers are no'
properly appreciated by parents who have
children to educate. These, however, are
not the only class that are benefited by the
sacrifice of time and often times pleas
ure which the teacher makes in behalf OF
the children. The welfare of society great
ly depends upon the education and proper
training Of the young who are soon to take
an active part in the drama of life, either as
upright and honorable men and women, or
as drunkards and murderers and outcasts
from society.
With a self-sacrifcing spirit the Sabbath
School teacher engages in this work, with
out money and without price," Time and
study is given in the preparation to teach.
Time and talent is then donated in teach
ing and arranging occasional entertain
ments, to which the parents and friends OF
the school are invited to witness the
progress made by the scholars, and Swho
are sometimes asked for contribution to
aid in the purchase Of hooks for the library
of the school. In view Of the fact that we
have no pu blic library such aid should be
literally and ungrudgingly given. 1t is q
subject in which all should be interested.
II matters but little to what denomination
the school may be attached, the books usu-
aliy selected for such libraries are calcula-
ted 10 instruct and benefit the young mind
We are pleased to know that through
the exertions Of the teachers Of some OF our
sabbath Schools, that they have well ar
ranged and well conducted librarieA, al.
though they may not be as well supplied
with books as they should be-

Ice for the Infirmary.-Mr. T, G. REID,
Superintendent of the County In6rmary, col
lected together nine teams yesterday and
came to this place for ice. His wagons
were all loaded in short time by Mr.. J. B.
WEBB, who had all the necessary imple-
ments on the spot, being engaged in putting
up ice for himself, and Mr.. REID returned
home with about eighteen tons Suficien-
cy as he believes for the Infrmary for the
ensuing summer The wells upon the In
firmary farm are strongly tinctured with
sulphur, in consequence of which the water
is only used for stock, while cistern water is
used for the inmates, making ice almost in
dispensable.

Treatment OF MIX Sickness.-We OBJ
serve by an exchange, that at the recent
meeting of the Northwestern Ohio Medical
Association, at Forest, Hardin county, the
faculty assembled unanimously voted for a
committee OF investigation, consisting of one
nlember of each county in the district, to
collate facts and report thereon to the next
u eeting of the association, as to ctiology,
pathology, and treatment of a prevalent
disease, OF zaodern origin, known as milk
sickness. Thisis question of no secondary
Importance, and the report of this commit
toe will be looked for with unusual interest.
We have given publicity to communi-
cation from Bloom township upon this sub
ject, from one who is not physician but
who has practical knowledge of the dis
ease, and invite further discussion TO which
the use Of eur oOlUmns will be Gle rfully
given.

WEST MILL GROVE, Jan. 5, 1875.
The Last Log House Burned at Grand
RAPIDS.

GRAND RAPIDS, January 6. 1875.
ED. JouRNAL:-Will attempt to give you
a few items of interest this week and will
begin with the burning of Esq. Snively's
house, which occurred OH last Sabbath morn
ing just as the people were assembling at
the different churches for morning services
The fire caught from a stove pipe up stairs
in some way unaccounted for, and when
first discovered the flames were bursting
through the roof. 10th churches being in
full view of the house assistance was soon
at hand and all the movable property in
the lower story was removed, but every
thing up stairs pcrished in the flames, and
this consisted of wearing apparel, a couple
of BEDS over 100 cans of various fruits, also
dried fruits,&c The house being log-the last
one in the village-only the roof and the
partitions were burned and frame kitchen
adjoining was saved. The citizens at once
circulated subscription papers and raised
about $i25, and the next morning they
formed a company, with Mr.. Hockman as
foreman, and ere night logs enough were at
the saw mill to erect new building, and
within a week from the event we expect to
see new frame instead of the old log house.
Thus pcrishes the last log house of one Of
the Oldest villages on the Maumee river.
The Union church has been undergoing
some repairs, being calcimined and carpet
ed also, various parties are cushioning seats
whichImake the house more comfortable, be-
sides improving the appearance very much.

A Daring Deed.-About 2 o'clock last
Tuesday afternoon, during the busiest part
of the day, one of the boldest robberies that
have ever taken place in the city, occurred
at the auction store of F. J. Williams, on
Summit street. Three men entered the
store and walked back to rear room, oc-
cupied as an Office, and in which Mr.. Will
liams was alone. As Mr.. w. arose to meet
them, one OF them asked to look at some
cane seated chairs. On going to the sales
room, one Of the scoundrels seized Mr.. w.
and he was thrown violently to the floor.
His hands and feet were securely tied, and
his mouth gagged with piece OF wood.
His person was hastily searched, and rob-
bed Of S37 so. During the operation he
was dealt several severe blows, and other
wise maltreated.
In starting to leave the place after hav-
ing effected the robbery, they were met near
the door by person just entering the store,
and on being asked il Mr.. Williams was
in, one of them replied that he would not be
in for an hour. Unsuspocting, the person
turned and left the store. The miscreants
at once made their escape, and up TO this
| time no clue has been obtained to the iden-
| tity or whereabouts Of the scoundrels.
Mr. Williams effected his own release
by working his hands loose, and then cut
ting the cord that bound his person. ii:
was severely bruised about the head ant
body.-Ioiedo Sunday Journal.

Was The Object Robberyi-On Sat-
urday night last, an attempt was made to
throw from the track the express train on
the Dayton & Michigan Road which reach
es the city at ll:4O p. NJ. The swith on the
east side of the river, and about one mile
from the bridge, near the ice houses was
partially opened. 1t had the appearance Of
having been pounded with u sledge ham
mer. The rail was moved to one side far
enough TO cause the engine to strike the
rail forward Of the break near the center
This rail was split and the engine kept the
track, but the baggage car was thrown off
The train was not going at full speed, 9TH
erwise many lives might have been lost. 1t
is believed by many that the object OF the
party or parties who thus attempted to
throw the train from the track was robbery.
1t is scarcely possible that any other mo-
tive could induce the commission OF an act
so well calculated to result in the killing and
wounding of many persons.-Blade.
An,ther dastardly attempt was made
again yesterday afternoon to wreck the mail
