are the bet article we have seen: they are
constructed with double bow, instead of
one large one for the under blade; through
these are inserted your second and third
fingers, giving better control of the inStru-
ment. and greater freedom from cramp.
Then they are furnished with spring for
separating the blades, when in use: then
little catch, or dog, is used for confining
the blades. when not in use, as protec-
ton from injury. They are made OF the

The attendance at the Congregational
church, now that the Presbyterian pastor
is taking his vacation, is quite large. On
Sunday last the mass of humanity was
pretty solidly packed, Notwithstanding the
range of the mercury. Church rivalry was |
forgotten, and the two congregations sa
together in heavenly places, with some
thing like heavenly spirit. The pastor
acquitted himself very creditably, and
much to the satisfaction of his hearers.
The sermon took popular turn and han
died some of the fresh. prominent topics
of the day. In reference to one of these
the lecture on Education before the Teach
ers' Institute, by our Congressional Repre-
sentative-tbe speaker took the liberty Of
differing from. The position of the lee
turer was, that education was the hope
and salvation of the country. The posi-
ton of the pastor was that the country had
as much to fear from educated villainy, as
from ignorance. By way of illustration,
reference was had to the gigantic villainies
of whisky rings, Indian rings, railroad
rings, life insurance rascalities, &C., which
embraced the educated and higher classes
of society. The point was well and effect
lively taken. The object of the sermon was
to show that there was something better
more required than education
the sanctifying influence of religion. to Sc
cure the highest good of people. The
sermon was preparation for contribu-
tion to the cause of foreign missions, and
the amount collected was $45. The Rev.
Mr. Stafford, with his ability, well poised
character and christian spirit, is doing
good work in our midst.
