best institutions of learning, with a
number Of auxiliary or preparatory
academies in different parts of the
State. The only auxiliary thus far
started is the Wortllington Seminary.
We wish to call especial attention to
that portion Of DIR. Wright's remarks
upon the gro,cth Of such institutions,
which, lie said, were not made, but
must grow, like tree This is truth
which cannot be too strongly impressed
upon our people, and especially upon
those who are always sneering and rid
icn'ing the day of small things. We
have this class in our midst, who seem
to have come here expecting to find
everything from farm to i Seminary
in full blast, and up in point of advance
ment to those of older regions.
Worthington can I've made III educa-
tion;.l center, and rs the initial institu-
ton Of learning, the Worthington
Seminary should command tile encour-
agement and the unwayering faith of
every friend of education in the region
tributary to this center.
VISIT OF Rev " ": sA77ERLEE.
| This gentleman, the State Agent of
the Temperance Union made his first
visit to Worthington, Oh Saturday last,
remaining over Sunday and holding Il

ing he spoke at the Uuion Congrega-
tional Church on the political bearing

During his stay he took subscriptions
to the amount Of between four and five
hundred dollars to the Hutchinson

and the interest or proceeds are to be
used III furthering the temperance work
in this State.
Mr.. Satterlee's visit has done the
temperance people Of Wortllington
much good, giving US a sort of temper
ance revival, and confirming our people
in their purpose to maintain the TEN.
perance feature Of the Colony. He had
heard much Of Worthington, and ex.
pected to find a model frontier commu-
nifty, but the place went beyond his
expectations and lie expressed both sur.
prise and satisfaction. After visiting
other communities in which the liquor
traffic held sway, lie said it was like
coming out of prison into a field of
clover to come to Worthington. lie
was especially gratified and astonishetl
to find three Sabbath Schools in full
blast, two of them averaging all attend.
ance of over 100, and said lie had visited
towns Of twice the size Where the mum:
Der attending Sabbath School was not
half so large.
Mr.. Sattcrlee has faith in the ulti-
mate triumph of the temperance cause,
and INSISTS that the rum traffic must
not only be preached down but voted
down.
We would inquire of our sister towns
of Sheldon and Worthington, if they do
not wish to purchase few dogs. Sib-
ley has been successful for the past
three weeks, and has now OH hand, we
should judge, not much less than 9,671,
which are all for sale cheap. Send in
your orders Immediately, before the
supply is exhausted. We can furnish,
any size, age, weight or COLOR Sibley
Gazette.
Last winter we were oyerrun with
dogs, but by some strange metamor-
phasis, like that which turns a polly
wog into a frog or 4 wriggler into a
mosquito, they have been TUNED into
boys. This change of form makes no
difference in their habits, however.
They still tear through our streets in
droves and howl around our dwellings
