Mr.. EDITOR:-I had the pleasure of
visiting Aleshire Hall to see our home
talent in their unique entertainments,
and must say they gave much better
performance than great many travel
ing trOups who claim to be first-class !;
and why it is that they are not better
patrOniZed | can't say, unless the citi-
zens are trying to fulfill the scriptures
that a Prophet is not without hOnOrs
except in his own country.
MeSsrs. Spear and Kings perform
ance on Bar and Trapeze was very fine,
considering the small stage they had to
use. Go on, boys, you certainly will
reach the top round of the ladder of
fame in your profession
We must not forget BOisvert, he de-
serves great deal of credit for giving
such fine performance, considering the
time he has been practicing. Persevere,
Alex, and you will accomplish more
than any One-legged man has done in
the way of walking atight-rope, as far
as known.
The next one we take notice of is that
laugh-provoking Henry Gibbs, who al
ways has something so rich and racy.
Then comes our Frank. who did well.
Have IA little more confidence in your
self, and you Will come ont all right.
Then comes Baxter and the Richards
brothers, who done well.
| understand they propose to give an
other entertainment in short time.

you'll be well paid for your trouble.

"Hints from the Postmaster"
When you call at the Office for youF
mail, and the Postmaster hands it out,
ask him if that is all. If you ask for
mail and he tells you there is none, tell
him there ought to be. Then go home
and send all the rest of the family
around to ask at different times through
the day. Don't bring your mail to the
office until the mail is closed, then curse
the Postmaster for not opening the mail
bag and putting your letter in. When
you want stamp on your letter, iell
the Postmaster to put it on; if he don't
like it lick him. In case you put it on
yourself, soak it in your mouth long
enough to remove the mucilage; it will
then stick until it is dry. Be sure and
ask the Postmaster to credit you for
stamps; if he has any accommodation
about him he will do it. If you have a
box, stand and drum OH it until the
Postmaster hands out your mail; it
makes him feel good, especially if he is
waiting on somebody else. Be sure and
ask the Postmaster for your mail while
he is distributing, and before the win
dow is open for delivery. j. w. NJ.

dear reader, allow me to state that
Cheshire is still noted for her NOR

believe they have been worse or more
numerous this winter than they have

there has been more excitement, for

to state that they have succeeded in
some respects with fair prospect of
a complete victory.
The robbery that was committed
last week was, of course, an unusual
thing for our quiet little village, but
we believe it was not a domestic af-
fair, at least we hope not.
Now, Mr.. Editor, my object in wri-
ting this has not been to find fault
with any one, but just merely to state
that Cheshire is a civil, moral and re-
ligious village, and not what your
readers might infer from our worthy
correspondents. mo.

RaAly Fooled

Our good-natured friend the "Boss
Scalper," met with funny little in
cident on the arrival Of the 4:30 train
Thursday morning. Wrapped up in
his new overcoat, he was on the look
out for any passenger who might
have railroad ticket to dispose of.
He had approached several gentle
men on the platform with varying
success, when casting his eye on the
pavement at the head of the platform
steps he noticed fine looking gen.
tleman standing on the pavement,
who had evidently alighted from the
train. With the agility of circus
rider he mounted the steps, and tap
ping the gentleman on the shoulder,
politely remarked-"Have youa--"
but he did not complete the sentence.
The gentleman addressed turned his
head when the "Boss' discovering
his mistake turned suddenly on his
heel, remarking as he walked rapid
ly away. ''The d., its Judge II. :"
The whole transaction was so earnest
and yet so ludicious that we could
not help hearty laugh at the ex-
pense of our badly fooled friend. Mr.,
w. r. suggests that his vision was
INSTRUCTED by his overcoat collar, but
we are inclined to attribute the
bIunder to the fact that the street
lamps were not lighted. But "ali's
we'll that ends we'll"

Ulster overcoats may be very COM
Portable, but they are, as the girls
say, awfully ugly. Still they are be-
coming fashionable, and when the
wearer is topped off with conical
fur OF cloth cap, he is about as UNI
slightly creature as one would de-
sire to look at. When young man
first dons an Ulster-they are never
seen on aged nen-he for several rea-
sons feels dreadfully awkward first,
because thething is novelty in the
way of build; and second, because
the wearer of such an uncouth gar
ment is generally the observed of all
observers. However, time smooths
down all things, and despite their
ugliness the listers will find wear
ears, and after awhile what now ap-
pears so decidedly outre in them
will become agreeable features to the
eve.

Cloud after cloud of sorrow had
gathered around the home of Nathan
Vanmeter He had been bereaved
of three children, two promising
young men and an interesting daugh-
ter in the bloom of womanhood. Yet
it seemed that his bitter cup was not
empty, and he has been called upon
in the mysterious providence of God
to drain the bitterest dregs of the cup
of sorrow; and yield up to the liking
of terrors " another lovely daughter,
the light of his home, so Otter dark
ened by the shadow of death. The
subject of this sketch withstood the
power of that insidious disease Ty-
phoid fever, for several months.
The hopes of her friends for her re-
covery hung trembling in the bal
ance, and for several weeks there was
continual conflict in their minds
between hope and fear. But the af-
lection of loving friends, the skill of
physicians, and the most careful at
tention could not turn from the door
the dreaded messenger and on the
3rd inst. Miss Mary Isabella K. Van
meter passed over the river to join
those who had gone before. In view
of these sore bereavments how suita-
BILE to the experience of the sorrow
stricken father, are the words OF the
patriarch Jacob, "Me have We be-
reaved of my children Joseph is not,
Simeon is not; and We will take Benz
jamin away" He too might say to
death, George is not, Ohio is not,
Virginia is not;' and we have taken
away Mary Belle. The deceased was
a worthy and faithful member OF the
Lutheran Church of this city. She
bore her sickness with patience and
resignation. She received with joy
the consultations of religion as her
pastor endeavored to administer
them ; and the spirit of her words
and manner was, "Thy will not mine
o Lord he DONE" Among her last
requests was that of receiving the
Holy Supper, looking forward to the
joyful banquet of the redeemed in
heaven. She was beloved by all who
knew her. An affect0inate daughter,
kind and devoted to her brothers and
sisters, q faithful friend, she was

no terrors for her. God plucked
the flower to transplant it in the
garden and under the fairer skies of
heaven. With those who have gone
before, she now walks the golden
streets of the New Jerusalem.
Lovely and pleasant in their lives,
! in their death they were not divi-
ded.'' And "she is not dead but
sleepeth." She has taught her re-
reaved father and friends how to live
and how to triumph even over death.
Let them then SORROW not as those
who have no hope, "For them that
| sleep in Jesus shall God bring with
him.
"Aslecp in Jesus peaceful rest
Whose waking is supreuely blest;
No fear no woe, shall dim that hour,
That manifests the Savior's power"
May the consultations of Gods all
sufficient grace and spirit sustain and
comfort the sorrowing relatives.
