SOME unregenerate imps of the bad boy
persuasion, entered the west side school
building two different nights of last week,
breaking a cellar window for that pur-
pose, and then went upon general plum
dering RAID through the building. They
found little to steal, but they scattered
things promiscously about and, worse in
its possible consequences, were malicious
ly careless in the use of matches, used to
throw light upon their criminal proceed
ings. Ashes of burnt paper were the
next morning found in the drawers, and
quite a large spot was burned in the floor
in the same manner. 1t was fortunate

have cost the district many thousand
dollars 1t does seem as though Il COM
petent and vigilent police officer, might

c,ous act, and bring them to justice. -
They were evidently boys, and their
tracks were probably not we'll covered
Would it not be worth the time of
Marshal Davis to make the attempt?
p. S.-Since the above was written
we are informed that the school build
ing was entered third time, Wednesday
evening last. A citizen observing the
light, waited for the depredator to come
out, who proved to be boy with Il hook
in his possession, which he claimed be-
longed to him. After few questions
his captor unthinkingly let him go, and
was afterwards unable to identify him.

the GOSPEL MEETINGS The much
talked of advent of the noted evangelsts,
Graves and Leland, occurred on Wednes-
day, and that evening, rousing meeting
was held at the Opera House, the room
being crowded TO its utmost capacity -
The comments upon the appearance and
methods of these vigorous workers in the
Lords vineyard, are as various as the
persons that make them, but one thing is
evident; they have unbounded energy,
industry, force and enthusiasm, and are
bound to stir up the sinners in this por-
ton of the heritage, if such thing is
possible. We have not been informed
of the programme of the week, other
than that it involves three meetings IA day,
morning, afternoon, and evening. A
choir of about one hundred singers, I'M
der the lead of Mr. Leland furnishes the
music.

CATTLE.-Two weeks ago our readers
were favored with some valuable sug-
gestions regarding the raising of hogs,
from one of our most successful and in
telligent swine breeders. This week we
lay before them letter from Mr. Spang-
Ter, who IS recognized as the most ex-
tensivc breeder of cattle in this section,
whose success and experience entltle his
words to more than ordinary interest and
weight. What he has to say about the
relative advantages in raising thorough
bred stock over the common grades,
should be pondered by our farmer read
ers.

Ed. BULLETIN: Our beautiful town
has been doubly blessed within the past
few weeks, and can now take her place
in the ranks with those trying to build up
better state of things, both morally and
socially. First we had series of revival
meetings here, and good many turned
from the evil of their ways unto life eter-
nal. Among them were some who long
since were classed with the lost forever.
God be praised And following in the
footsteps of that meeting was another to
benefit the crring ones, temperance
meeting. The speaker was an lrishman,
a reformed drunkard, and he aroused the
sympathies of our citizens by his earnest
ness and candor He organized tenn

They seem in earnest. God help them to

EASTER AT ST.. JAMEs.-The Easter
services held on Sunday last at st James
Episcopal Church, in this city, were
largely attended and very interesting
The church was beautifully decorated
with vines. blossomlng plants and boquets,
in manner suitable to the occasion.-

by the Rector, DR.. T. B. Kemp, the sac

brated by the pastor and communicates

At $3.50 in the afternoon, the Sunday
School connected with this church, held
its usual Easter festival, with prayers and
praise, the pastor addressing the school in
short sermon adapted to the under
standing of the children and extremely in
teresting to the older portion Of the audi
ence. After this, as each class was call
cd, q delegation went forward bearing
an Easter offering; also, an emblem COM
memorative of the resurrection of Christ
which is celebrated on this day The
emblems were varied and beautiful, and
each was received by the Rector with a
few appropriate remarks. Gifts were
presented to the scholars who were en-
titled to them by regularity, good con-
duct, ETC., during the past year. Some
fine selections were also read by members
of the school. AT the close of these eX.
ercises, Easter eggs, variously colored
and ornamented-typical of the resurrec-
ton of our Lord-were given to each
child; also to the teachers and others
who were present. The exercises passed
off in pleasant manner, and were very
interesting to all,

DURING the memorable time when An

DURING the memorable time when An
dy johnson was battling with the United
States Senate, that sturdy old public func-
tionary appointed our neighbor of the
Conservative, postmaster of this city. This
boon our neighbor eagerly accepted, not
only without protest, but also without
any qualms of conscience so far as any
body knew. He retained the place, COM
placently pocketing the compensation sew
eral months, in fact, until the Senate, re-
fusing to confirm his appointment, he
was compelled, reluctantly no doubt, to
retire and give place to another nan. AL
though he was then, as now, the editor
of the Conservative, no man heard him
groan in spirit over the terrible strain
that the Office applied to his journalistic
independence. His health was good, his
digestion perfect, and he seemed to accept
the Office rs rather good thing to have,
and to be thankful for.
wv" ltHSthuuiHS tHiS cApcIlcHCe, huu
in the light OF these facts, few weeks
since, for the purpose of making a per-
sonal point against the editor of the BUL-
LETIN, he took occasion to indulge in Il
little hypocritical clap-trap about editors
holding office, declaring with Pecksniff-
ian fervor that the idea Of an editor hold
ing Office was ''pernicious," and intlma-
ting that his regard for his "indcpen-
dencc" forbade that he should think of
such thing. The article was the occa-
sion of good deal of amusement and
good natured railery on the streets and in
public places, and We thought that we
might legitimately poke little fun at
our neighbor occasionally on the text of
his carefully guarded independence :"
An experiment of that kind last week
teaches us, however, that such fun is per
ilous. Our ncighbor comes at us in his
issue of this week with perfect ava
lanchc of invective and epithet. We are
called "a prass-necklaced Individual"
lone OF Grants famous purps," who
"gulps down a postoffice as it falls a
crumb from his masters table" &c, &c.
Now, we are not conscious OF any abate-
ment of our independence, nor do we
agree, that to hold an Office necessarily in
vests one with a brass collar, but as our
neighbor does hold to this theory, he can
not avoid the corrollory, that IN those far
off days he was "brass-necklaccd indi-
vidual," that he was one of Andy John
sons ''purps," and that he snapped up
the crumbs" from his masters table
with all the degradation that these ele-
CANT expressions imply. And quite q
number of his own party, notwitVstand-
ing his high professions of independence,
are uncharitable enough to say that all
that prevents him from wearing the "col.
lar" now, according to his own the
ory-plsying the ''purp," is the opportu-
nifty. The lockers" can make such use
rs they see fit of "these few lines"

SOME Of our Democratic bretheren
were wonderfully elated one day this
week by dispatch in the daily papers to
the effect that Mr. Tilden had prepared
the papers in his big lawsuit for the Pres.
idency, and that they would soon be serv-
ed Oh Mr.. Hayes. They seemed greatly
pleased and encouraged by this confrma-
ton of the rumor that Tilden was relaps-
ing into imbecility. But their hopes
were cast down the next day by the in
teiligence that the statement was hoax !;
that Tilden had no idea of contesting the
Presidency with Hayes. 1t is but justice
to say, however, that large share of our
Democrats took no particular interest in
the rumor. They are evidently as we'll
satisfied to escape the rule of Tilden as
are the Republicans.

THE Conserpative again feels called up
on, reluctantly no doubt, to rush to the
rescue of another party which has been
'slandcred" by the BULLETIN. This time
it is the troupe of female horn blowers
that gave a concert AT the Opera House,
last Saturday evening, under the title of
the Boston Philharmonic Ladies Band"
&c. Our contemporary says We lied in
saying that the name was an unauthorized
appropriation Of that Of the famed Boston
Philharmonic Club To make the charge
of falsehood good, our contemporary
makes the exceedingly fine point that the
Boston Philharmonic Ladies, &c." is a
thoroughly distinct name that may de.
ceive nobody" 1t did deceive several
parties, nevertheless, who have thanked
us for informing them OF the mistake.
We need not point out the gauzy nature
of the subterfuge. But our contemporary
goes on to say:
"The BULLETIN, in It's article took &C.
casion to refer to the fact that the Boston
Philharmonic Club, will appear here on
the LIST. prox. 1t has been intimated that
the editor has pecuniary interest in the
coming entertainment, hence this article"
All We have to say in reply to this is,
that we first introduced the agent of the
Club to two of the directors of the Public
Library, with the view of having them
conduct the entertainment for the benefit
of the Library. But they could see no
money in it at the terms demanded, rath,
er possible loss, and SO declined. When
We found that the agent was going to
leave without arranging to give our citl
Zens an opportunity to hear this splendid
ochestra, we induced another party to
join with us in accepting the entertain
ment on the terms proposed, which had
been rejected by the Library Board. If
the editor of the COnserUGttce thinks there
is a Bonanza in the enterprise he is in
formed that he can have the assignment
Of our part of the contract, and we will
pay him for taking it. We are willing to
submit our action to the judgment of the
refined and music loving portion of our
citizens
