Centennial Sermon.

The Rev. M. L. Cutler will preach
a Centennial Serman in his church
on Sunday at II o'clock a. M, The
sermon will embrace a historical
sketch Of the Lutheran congregation
in this place from it's beginning to the
present time. We have no doubt
this will be quite interesting not on
ly to Lutherans, but the public gen.
orally. The church in this place is
now about one hundred years old.

An Examination.

We accepted an invitation and
spent a couple of hours quite pleas
antly at the examination of Miss Ell
la Emmert's pupils in the Fourth
Ward School yesterday. We are al
most ashamed to say this was our
first visit to this school, because we
think it the duty of every citizen OF
the town to manifest enough interest
in them to pay at least an occa-
sional visit. Especially is this the
duty of parents who have children
at these schools. Their visits will
have a tendency to encourage both
teachers and pupils, and besides they
will find that they could not spend a
few hours more pleasantly Oh profita-
bly, to themselves.
Miss Emmert has charge of the
Third Reader room. The examina-
tion was in reading, spelling, arith-
metic and writing, and we do Miss
Emmert and her pupils but simple
justice, when we say that in every
branch in which the children were
examined they displayed a knowledge
of their studies which showed a most
thorough and careful training. They
have been under her charge some
thing over a year, and have been
brought up to their present standing
from the first rudiments of educa-
ton. In spelling, writing and arith-
metic their advancement has been re-
markable, but we were especially
struck with the correctness of their
reading-one of the most difficult
studies to properly impress upon the
minds of such young scholars. AS a
general thing, spelling and reading
the two most important branches
are very much neglected by teachers.
The scholars are allowed to COM
memo and go through a whole piece
in a kind of sing-song manner, and
with never a proper pause, intOna-
ton, emphasis or infection. Poetry
and prose are read in the same strain,
so that 40 one could tell any differ
ence between either. Such is not the
case with the pupils of Miss En-
inert. They have been properly in
structed in, and carefully observe all
the various pauses, accents, intona-
tions, emphasis, &C., both in prose
and poetry, and read slowly, clearly
and distinctly. The fruits of Miss
Emmert's labors are apparent in the
advancement of all her pupils in ev-
cry branch Of their studies, but es-
pecially in their reading. Her schol-
airs too seem greatly attached to her,
as was evidenced by the many floral
tributes which graced her desk.

Examination at Lonoak.

Our reporter accepted an invita-
tionfrom the Principal of Lonoak Fe.
male College to attend the Examina.
ton Exercises Of the school, and on
Thursday, lin company with a mum.
Der of ladies and gentlemen visited
the recitation rooms of the Institu.
ton. We found the Principal in the
midst of the examination Of a class
of young ladies in the higher
branches of Mathematics, which was
all Greek to us, but judging from the
blackboard exercises gone through
with, and the rapid and correct an,
swers given we were convinced that
the young ladies had acquired a tho
rough comprehension Of that difficult
and abstruse science. A gen.
tleman present remarked that the
Professor was making the examina-
ton a rather severe infection to the
young ladies in keeping them stand
ing at the blackboard for an hour,
making and explaining difficult and
complicated diagrams.
The examination Of the first day
consisted of the following classes in
their order:
1St-JuVenile DEPARTMENT.
2d-Roman History.
3rd-U. S. History.
4th-Philosophy.
5th-Geography.
The Juveniles" stood up to the
test of an examination heroically land
showed great aptness and decided
progress.
The class in Roman History de-
serves especial mention. They stood
a thorough and trying examination,
answered all questions promptly land
showed a knowledge of their studies
which was highly gratifying to all
visitors present.
= The class in the U. S. History also
stood a good examination, and de-
veloped the fact that they had not
been idle during the session.
In Philosophy the examination
was thorough, and the class did
splendidly. Their training has been
complete.
The examination of the class in
Geography, composed Of sixteen OF
eighteen boys and girls, was highly
interesting and instructive to the au-
dience. To every imaginable ques-
ton pertaining to the geography OF
the globe they gave prompt and in
telligent answers, Quite a ripple of
laughter was provoked by the persis-
tent answer Of one of the boys to the
question of what race of people he

10 months and 6 days.
The deceased was stricken down
suddenly by the hand of death, and
although the messenger called her
| away in haste, yet he was not alto

| as she expressed herself as being on
the watch for his coming, she obeyed
the summons with meekness and res
ignation, realizing the fact that it
was sent by a kind and gracious
Father in heaven to call her home
from a world Of sin and SORROW
The tie that bound her to earth was
strong, for just having given life to
an innocent and helpless infant, and
the thought of being taken away
from it and left in that helpless con-
dition without it's maternal protec-
tor, who only could care for it prop
erly and love it as only afond mother
can love, together with another little
treasure who after days and months
of sickness and ~feebleness, was be-
coming full of life health and beauty
An object of interest and attraction
to the heart Of a fond mother and
father. To submit to a separation
under circumstances of this kind re-
quired much Of Gods grace, and she
left evidence to him who knew her
feelings best chat this was vouch-
safed to her in the hour of need.-
May those to whom this affective
dispensation has been sent, be one Of
mercy and not of judgment.
Violet, the one 10 we'd so well, farewell
The Lord called thee, and thou art
gone,

Yet again / hope to meet thee
Where pain and parting is no moro.

To ALL, particularly inyalids, spring is trying
season. Indications of sickness should at once be
attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by al
lowing the bowels to become eonstipated, and the
system remain in = disordersd condition, until
the disorder has time to develop ITSELF Announce of
prevention is worth apound of cure, is an old and
truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all who are
troubled with the complaints now very prevalent
headache, indigestion, disordered liver want Of ap-
petite, nausea or feverish skin, to take, without
delay, schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know Of no
remedy 20 harmless and decisive in its action Iat

suffer from any disease arising from disordered

1t seems that the memory of this woman.
llze that Of her renowned husband, is likely
to be kept alive to the end Of time. She e
said 70 have possessed very irritable tenn.
per, and her name has become a SYNONYM ri
"vixen," or "scOld." 1t is more than posi-
bic, however, that the judgment passed upon
her by mankind has been too severe. A
more charitable disposition would undoubt.
sedly have discovered in her many good 0ua1-
tiles, and have attributed her failings more
to physical infrmities than to moral obi
putty. The party most intimately acquainted
with her, and therefore best able to form a
correct opinion, gives her credit for many
domestic virtues. 1t is now well known that
many of the diseases to which women are
subject have direct tendency to render
them irritable, peevish, cross, morose, nm.
reasonable, SO that they chafe and fret over
all those little ills and annoyanCes that a
person in health would bear with cOmpOsure
1t is fair to infer that most of the tantrums
OF Aantippe were dIe to these causes alone
and could Socrates, as he returned from the
Senate, the Gymnasium, or the Atheneum,
have stopped at Pestle & MOrtar's Drug Store

doubt he might have evaded many "cur-
tain lecture" allayed many a domestic

rescued his Wife's name from the unenyiabIe.
worldwide, and eternal notority it has at
tanned. Thousands of women bless the dav
on which DR.. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription
was first made known to them. A single
bottle often gives delicate and suffering Wo-
men more relief than months of treatment
from their family physician. In all those
arrangements causing backache, dragging
down sensations npFVOus and General IaHff
ity, it is a sovereign remedy. Its soothing
and healing properties render it of the utmost
value to ladies suffering from internal fever,
congestion, inflammation, or alteration, and
its strengthening effects tend to correct dis
placements of internal parts, the result of
weakness of natural support. It is sold by
all druggists.
