HARPER's MAGAZINE for March is e1
oeedngly rich IN fiction. Besides the
serial stories by George Eliot and Julian
Hawthorne, there are five short stories:
Number 49," by Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps; simpson of Bussora." by James
Payn; almost too late" by Charles De
Kay; "Wanted-A Soul" by Mrs. Frank
Mccarthy; and "Ihe crime of Abigail
Tempest, by Susan Archer Weiss. The
last of these if founded on tradition
respecting General Washington, and is
illustrated.
The most popular of the illustrated
articles in this number will be Porte
Crayon's inimitable essay on "The Ba-
by" with twenty humorous illustrations,
and J. T. Trowbrldge,s poem, Aunt
Hannah"
Professor Samuel Lockwood contri-
butes an article on THE Microscope" in
. style especially fascinating for young
readers.
Edwin p. Whipple concludes his cen
tenniaI paper on american Literature. !"
General T. NJ. Logan, of Richmond,
gives a very favorable view of the in
dustrisl future of the new South; and
his instructive article is very happily
supplemented by Mrs. Handy's thrilling
description of Confederate Make shifts
during the late war.
The Editors Easy Chair is in its
rleasantest vein this month. Nothing
could be more delightful than its mus
ings over the musical concerts of by
gone days in New York Scientific Rec
ord, in Harper's, is the only complete
monthly summary of scientific progress
published. The Drawer this month is
full Of amusing facetiI, with two laugh
ter provoking illustrations.

The SCHOOL HOUSE Question:
1t is certainly we'll to discuss any
question Of so considerable public I'M
pcrtance as the proposition to build a
new School House in this Independ-
ent District, and in this as in every
thing else, each mans natured opin-
ion is his own sole guide and is en-
titled to at least respectful considera-
ton from his fellows. But on the
other hand, Misrepresentation and
actual lying are not well, neither for
the purpose of discouraging school
house building, nor for any other
purpose.
Let the facts be understood. The v
have been misstated again and again.
The proposition is to devote twenty
thousand dollars---no more, no less
to the erection of new school house,
tals sum to include the total outlay
for grounds, building, furniture, etc.
This is to he raised by selling bonds
which cannot Be sold for less than par,
the principal and interest to be paid
within ten years. The "bond" fea-
ture is made scare by some, but it
really amounts to simply borrowing
the money at ten per cent. with priv
ilege to pay any time within ten
years-lhe bonds being the notes of
the District.
AS to the expenditure of the mon
ey, should it be authorized, the peo-
pie of Upton can certainly select six
of their number to whom it can be
safely intrusted--provided they are
watched closely.
Now, when the future looks propi-
tious, is the very time for Upton to
do something for herself. A new
school house will give needed accom-
mediation to our children, great credit
to the town and lots Of work 10 Ia
borers aud mechanics--al at csst
per year of fifty cents onthe hundred
dollars assesse valuation.

An old her belonging to Ben.
Weaver laid o wagc' with the Old
rooster that she could lay three eggs
in one day, and then tiled to win it
by laying one egg with figure three
on it. This was all done Friday, the
third day of March, and when Ben.
found the egg he thought 1t was
probably becoming fashionable for
hens to date their certificates of de-
post, and at once went into the
house to see if his almanac had been
carried to the chicken coop. The
correct explanation was gained by
ovcrhearing the quarrel as to who
won the bet. We do not know how
this was decided, but we saw the
egg, and can testify that it bore a
plain and distinct figure three--a
raised character about a half.inch
long and well proportional.

SroP THAT COUGH MANY hesitate to
try medicine for decease, on account
OF the expense, connected with the un-
certainty Of its benefitting them; while
at the same time, they had confidence in
that remedy, the expense would be the
least objection. With this fact in view
we make the following proposition: Any
person suffering with cold, cough or
sore throat, that will call at A. M. Kirk s
drug store and purchased bottieof "Hale's
Cough Cordial" use one half of it. and
if they conclude that 1t is doing them
no good, they can return the bottle and
receive back their money.
No medicine ever sold in thisivicinity,
that produced such magical results.
Don't fail to try. 6m40

TuE CEDAR CIRCUIT CouGr ad-
journed its February term on Friday
last after sitting Of almost two
weeks-IIon. John Mexican on the
bench; A. b. Maynard, Sheriff; w.
FL. Van Ness, Clerk; Kitchener, Re
porter.
There were the usual large numbe +
of defaults and continuances, but the
term was protracted chiefly On ac-
count of several lengthy and warmly
contested trials, mention Of which,
together with other cases of any gem
eral interest, is appended:
VIM. Cameron VS.. Volney f..
Briggs. Road case, appealed from
Board of Supervisors. Tender of
damages to be withdrawn and no
road established; def. pay costs.
J. J. Huber VS.. J. E. Melton, St.
Com'r. Suit to enjoin the establish
ment Of an alleged too low grade Of
street in the town of Mechanicsville.
Default Of deft. and perpetual in
junction granted. Oakley & Wheeler
for pff.
Sarah Dolan vs. Charles Dolan-
divorce. Dismissed without preiu-
dice-probably the result of timely
"make-up."
Philip harrington VS.. Newton John
son. Jury waived and trial by the
Court. This was very peculiar
case, pff. claiming title to forty acres
Of land now held on Sheriff's deed
to A. johnson, and basing his claim
on quit claim deed from A. John
son, whom he asserted to be the same
person to whom the Sheriff's deed
was made. The evidence disclosed,
however, that the Sheriff's deed was
made to Adam Johnson, of Jones
county; and that Adam Johnson de-
rived his right to such deed by an
assignment from Ahaz Johnson, of
Illinois-the same man who suisse
,,uently made the quit claim TO Far
ri.ngton. Thus the confusion Of the A.
J,ohnsons and Farrington's case dis
appeared together, the Court giving
de #. judgment for costs, title and
pos session. Wolf & Landt for pff.;
PA tt & Carr for deft.
Harriet A. Huber VS.. Phil Wilkin-
son. Trial by jury. Pf. sued under
statute to recover double deft's share
of tn cost Of partition fence as
asses sed by the township trustees,
def. having refused to join in build
ing tn e fence or to pay share after
assess. uent. The trial of this case
occupi ed three days and resulted in
verdict for pf. for $755.98, the costs
amount ing to s219.25. Judgment on
verdict. Wolf & Landt for pff. !;
Piatt & Carr for deft.
VIM. Frascur VS.. J. w. Reeder.
Trial by jury. This was also fence
case, the issue being on defendants
liability to keep up lane fence on
farm purchased from pff. according to
obligations under which pff. had
placed the land when he owned it.
Verdict for n,f. for 1880; costs,
s62.05. Judgment on verdict. Wolf
& Landt; Piatt & Carr.
Mary L. vs.. John A. Mcdonald.
Divorce. Default Of delft. and decree
