Our Sabbath School reopened April %, 1871
Uhas. Euverard was reelected Superintendent for
the ensuing year. We think he is giving entire
satisfaction, for he has been experimenting our
Sabbath School for about five years, and we hope
he may live to work there five more years. Each
class chose its own teacher. The 1st class Of
Young ladies chose Chris Diehl for their teacher.
Chris taught that class last year, and are glad
that he has it again. The ID class Of young la
dies is taught by Chas. Gaymon, ST., Sd class by
Miss Josie Faul. The little girls are taught by
Miss Mary Beucler. The Ist class of young gentle
men have James Euverard for their teacher, I'd
class Lewis Euverard, 80 class, Noah Euyerard,
and the small boys are taught by Miss Mary
Euverard. All the classes use Lesson Leaves,
excepting the small boys and girls.
The singing is led by Miss Adaline Kelley, who
has a beautiful soprano voice, and understands
vocal music perfectly The organists are Joseph
and sometimes Chas. GaymOn, ir. They are both
well posted in music, aud therefore we cannot
complain, for the Bells Run Sabbath School al-
ways had good singers, but we think they are bet
ter this year than ever.
Mr.. Joseph Euverard had his leg broken several
months ago in getting R. R, timber. He is begin
ming to ego about" with crutches, and we arc glad
to see him at Sabbath School agsin.
Health Of the ncighborhood good at present
Farmers are mostly through planting corn.

especially apples. EOSE'

The Picayune is a leading Demo
cratic paper, and we are glad to see
it take such a decided stand for the
right. If the Democrats of Louisiana

out the policy thus outlined, then in

''white-winged peace" have begun to
dawn upon the nation, and all the
people, North and South, VIII Join in
rejoicing over the auspicious result.
But there must be something better
than mere promises on the part Of
the Southern people. Words are
cheap. The people Of the North are
waiting anxiously to see whether the
acts of their Southern brethren will
correspond with their professions.
We fervently hope and trust they
will not be disappointed.

J. X. PICKERING,
Sec'y. pro TEN

Permit me, through your paper, to explain the
HfeaGing of the words ''dead-beat" and ''fogy,r q
used by me, in former article. "Dead-beat" ap-
plies to q man who is always contracting debts
that he never intends to pay and when he gets all
he can ''on tick" he takes the benefit Of the law
and defrauds his creditors out of their just dues
then turns to be a seedy loafcr, hangs around the
corner store, JOINS church, but never pays dollar,
and expects to get to Heaven at other peoples ex-
pense. Now if my friend Observer" Of the Ga
zette, is hit, let him "squesl."
The word "fogy" is intended for that class Of
men who are always behind the age in which they
live; who are opposed to progress of any kind,
honestly believe that the earth is fiat, and stands
still, and that the stars will fall some Of these days
and burn the earth up; think that education
makes fools Of people and that girls need DO edu-
cation; and as for teachers, treaty dollars month
is as much as they ought to ask for, as they have
nothing TO do, can live on air, and wear out no
clothes! The ''fogy" thinks that railroads and
telegraphs are a curse. Now let "ObserYer" howl
again, Gf he is hit) while L remain

The READING Room and Library
project is at last fairly under way,
with fattering prospects of success.
Two of the Committee appointed at
the meeting last Thursday night,
Messrs. Bell and Huggins, waited
upon the Council Monday night, and
secured the levy of J mill for the
support of the Library and Reading
Room, which will raise a sum of
nearly $1,000, part of which will be
available next winter. Meantime, in
order to get the Reading Room open
as soon as possible, the Commit
tee are soliciting donations from our
citizens for the purchase of newspa-
pers and periodicals, and Council
will proceed to have the Library
room in the City Hall building fitted
up Immediately, there being money
sufficient now in the treasury, be-
longing to the Public Building fund.
The following committees have been
appointed to canvass the town for do
nations during the present week, and
we trust they will meet with a
prompt and liberal response.
N. E. Quarter-Mrs. D. Z. Fen
ner, R. T. Hough.

Let us have the Reading Room es-
tablished at once. It will prove
powerful aid to the Temperance
movement now in progress, by pro-
viding a safe and attractive place of
resort for young men, where they
can spend their evenings both pleas
antly and proftably.

Opening of the Narrow
Gauge Railroad to Sardinia.

~ q v SO u dlli y az ~ y al uallA q G
The long-talked-of railroad has at
last been completed to Sardinia, and
the people in that section are happy.
At1135 A. NJ. Saturday, June 8,
the first train reached Sardinia,
drawn by the engines "Stephen
Feike" and M. Jameson" The
train was composed of fat cars, with
seats fixed along the platforms, and
the cars numbered twenty,four, all
of which were crowded.
This train was Immediately follow
ed by the first regular passenger
train, of three handsome new coach
es and a baggage car, drawn by the
engine "Dick Thompson"
The trains were profusely trimmed
with flags, and right at the side of
the depot was erected a large arch,
trimmed with the stars and stripes,
and the word ''Welcome" in large ce-
dar letters, beneath which was the
name of woodward, and the motto,
Eastward Bound"
After the arrival of the trains the
crowd, estimated atfroga 800Oto 1000
people, assembled at grove near
the depot, and were addressed by
Stephen Feike, Mr.. Woodward, J.
H. Thompson, of Hillsboro, and 9th
ers.
The ceremonies Of the day were
closed with q grand excursion train
from Sardinia to Batavia and back,
at half fare, which was taken advan-
tage of by as many people as could
be crowded on the train.
Sardinia is a lively little town.
The people are very intelligent and
hospitable, and did their best to
make their visitors comfortable.
For want Of space we will have to
close our report, regretting that we
have not room for a more extended
account Of the proceedings.

Great Temperance Drama.

1t is understood that the powerful
company of the Grand Opera House,
Cincinnati, will shortly produce, at
the Opera House here, the new sen
satiUnal, emotional, thrilling temper
ance drama, in five acts, called "The
Murphy Pledge, or Three Years in a
Man Trap, which has had a run Of
ten weeks in Philadelphia. The
piece abounds in thrilling and start
ling situations, beautiful tableaux,
and is said to be one Of the most
truthful and powerful expOsidOns OF
temperance and intemperanCe ever
yet produced upon the stage. 1t re-
/ quires over twenty frst-class per
formers to produce the piece, and
will, it is thought, prove a valuable
auxiliary to the Murphy movement
in this and other cities Columbus

What the Sidney Journal says in
the following of the fruits of the
murphy wave" in that town, is
equally true in all the towns of the
State that the movement has struck:
"The fruit of the Murphy wave can
be seen on our streets every Satur-
day night, or any other night, foI
that matter. Many who have been
in the habit of squandering Their
weekly earnings, for that which
steals away ones brains, can now be
seen cleanly dressed, wearing a hap.

their way home, carrying well filed
baskets and a more contented heart
Whisky, at best, is a curse, and none
know this better that those who 'havt
been there, and when a man once
does give up the abominable practic'
of drinking, and remains firm in hi
good resolve, the benefits are Sc

EASTWARD Ho"-PRICE REDUCED.
BY announcement in our Local
Notice columns it will be seen that
Mr.. Bailey has reduced the price Of
his book in cloth binding to S1.00,
notwithstanding the volume con
tains one-fourth more pages than he
anticipated, when he fixed the price
at that figure. To some even this
may seem a high price for q book Of
100 pages, but it is realIy y very reason
able, when the number of copies print
ed is taken into consideration. The
edition of Mr.. Bailey's hook is only
500 copies, but if 5000 copies had
been printed, he could well have af-
forded to sell it at half the price be
is compelled to ask, and then would
have realized a larger profit than he
now does atS1. The larger number
printed of a book or any other print
ed matter, the less the cost per copy
