FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS.
KINGSVILLE.


Eds. Tez.-The schools of Kingsville
have made very commendable proficiency
and the high average of studies, of some
fifty of the High school is 50. The dis
trict schools are also deserving of special
attention.
An exchange of desks took place last
Sunday between Rev. Mr.. Hickok of the
Presbyterian church and Rev. Mr.. Will
Jams of the Baptist church-evincing suit
able moods and conditions of head and
heart for profitable work for the Master.
Mud and the ''beautiful snow" temper
ed with biting temperature, express the
conditions of spring in this and most 9TH
er Of the vernal seasons.
While we read about the tidal wave OF
temperance reform, purifying many of our
sister towns, it comes not to us. To be
sure, saloon influence is nothing in either
OF our villages, as compared with larger
towns, and yet here and there are marked
eases-in nearly every stage of inebriety.
Some Of these victims are men Of families,
and with their many good qualities OF heart
and business energies. are still respectable,
and are suffered to occupy positions OF
trust and honor; while thus struggling in
this unequal contest, it is the wish of all
that their hearts and convictions may be
reached, and help come to give them the
victory over appetite. The more we con-
slider this matter. the more we are satisfied
that this town needs to be included in this
reform. Thus the Macedonian cry-as of
old--is, 'Come over and help us.
James A Fickinger, our worthy county
surveyor, for the third winter has filed the
place of principal Of the North Kingsville
High school. AT the close of the winter
term he was presented with testimonial
of respect by his students Of a volume each
of Shakespeare and Burns works.
Miss Nellie Fickinger and Miss Pratt
have managed the primaries, with entire
satisfaction, and the latter continues for
the summer term.
Saturday last witnessed the funeral OBJ
sequies of Mrs. Lyon, relict OF Mr. Aaron
Lyon. who preceded her to the spirit land
some % years ago; she was 80 years Of age,
and they we're among the earliest settlers.
George and @. J Lyon were her children.
She died with the latter son, to whom much
praise is due for his assiduous and tender
care over her. @.

If you doubt the wonderful success of
SHILOH's CONSUMPTION CURE, ask those who
have used it what they think of it, or go to
your druggist and get bottle, and give it
a thorough trial. Then, if you are not
perfectly satisfied after using two thirds,
return the bottle to your druggist and he
is authorized to give you the price paid.
Is not this fair proposition? For Con-
sumption, Coughs, Hoarseness, Asthma,
WhOoping Cough or any Throat or Lung
trouble, it never fails, If it does it will cost
you nothing. Upon this assertion it must
stand or fail. Call at our Drug Store and
get trial bottle. 10 cents, or a regular
size for 80 cents or $1.O0. For lameness
across the Chest or Back use Shiloh's
Belladonna Plaster which gives prompt re-
lief.

The news reached here last Tuesday of
the small pox in Geneva. A young lady, a
niece of Mr.. Clisbie, is the victim, and it
is said she took the disease while in Gus
tavus from which place she has just re-
turned. There is great excitement in Ge-
neva, and we are informed the schools have
been closed and proclamation issued re-
quiring all persons to be vaccinated within
six days or be liable to fine.
Since the above was written the follow
ing letter has been received:

EDITORS TELEGRAPH:-Fe that ex-
aggerated reports may reach you in regard
to the small pox in our village and by pub
ication do us an injury, / hereby give you
the facts in the ease. A young lady from
Gustavus, who has been living here for a
few weeks past, went home on visit and
on her return here was taken with small
pox. This is the only case in town, and
so far as we can learn there has been no
exposure from it, and the most thorough
precautions have been taken by the Board
Of Health so that there shall be no spread
of the disease. Thorough vaccination has
been ordered throughout the whole t~wn,
and the public school has been closed for
one week to give the scholars an opportu-
nifty to be vaccinated, and to prevent any
possible exposure; and we apprehend no
danger from it here, and indeed, it is q
very mild case.

A GooD HEN.-A subscriber writes: ''It
may strike you as odd when l tell you that
know whole families, where for years no
newspaper has been regularly taken. How
such people can endure such a privation is
past my comprehension. But perhaps they
are like people born blind, and have never
gazed upon the grand and the beautiful in
nature, they have no conception of what
they lack. As for my family, We had
rather go without the use of sugar all the
year than be without the lively and cheer
full old Reporter. We manage to pay for
it thus: We keep fowls, and each year the
children select and elect one of these and
call her the Reporter, and every time she
lays an egg she reports progress faithfully,
and that egg is laid aside, and when we
send to town we send the eggs along and
get the cash, and when 80, 90 is accumuls-
ted, we regularly send on to you. That's
how we do, and who can't do likewise?

The Worlds Great Cough Medicine. DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consumption will
cure cough in one half the time necessary
to cure it with any other medicines, and it
does it not by drying it up, but by removing
the causes, subduing the irritation, and heal
ing the affected parts. For all case ofhOarse-
ness, suppression or loss of voice, any severe
chronic or lingering cough, bronchitis, or af-
fection of the throat and lungs, it will be
found, to very much surpass all med
ieines that have ever been offered to the pub
lie. 1t has wrought complete change in the
cough medicines. Is entirely different from
all others. Is perfectly harmless to the small

'.MY MoTHER's GOLD RING. "A rather
thrilling temperance story is to be found
upon the first page. We commend it to per-
usal. 1t is an old story-published near a
half a century ago, and has been choicely
kept ever since by one of our Harbor Union
friends, who handed it in for publication.
We give it place with pleasure, thinking
that its influence may not be lost in
strengthening the purpose of some of those
who have taken, or others who may be
contemplating, a step in the better way.

The Reporter publishes list Of those
who have taken the pledge in that place,
during the week since the work began
numbering 5S5. If they had been set in
alphabetical order We should have been
able, more satisfactorily. to tell whether
the name Of friend Rieg was of the num-
Der. As il is. we are a little in doubt. We
hope to see that blue ribbon in the button
hole, when we drift that way again.
Another attraction has just been ad-
ded to the village IN the arrangement OF
new department to the millinery store OF
Mrs. Prosser. by which the ladies may sup
pIv themselves with gear for the feet as
we'll As the head. One side Of the store has
been devoted to the latest styles Of ladies
and ehildren's boots and shoes, in every
variety. They may thus accomplish a
double purpose and meet tive ends at one
call. Aided by long experience, Mr.. Pros
ser is enabled to present to his customers a
very choice assortment of the finest and
best work the market affords, to the ad
vantage Of both buyer and seller.
The Millinery department leads off as
usual with everything in the latest style
and fashion. Spring hats, for taste and
adornment are great advance upon those
worn last year, and in fitness and propriety
beyond comparison. With the flowers
they are decorated with-selected as they
may be from whole flower garden in va
riety, the charms Of the ladies can hardly
be otherwise than irresistible.
LAwNs.-A beautiful lawn is the most
attractive feature of home. With the
yard smoothly graded, well seeded, and
frequently clipped with lawn mower,
there is nothing to compare in rural or vii
lage life, and it is pleasant thought, that
such spots are being every year, better sp-
preciated. The mower is becoming more
popular instrument, and we see the pleas
ant effects Of their possession in the in
creased and increasing beauty Of our pleas
ure grounds and door-yards. As the sea-
son is at hand for giving little extra Wig
or to the grass which is to do so much for
our happiness, we here give receipt for
nursing and nurturing it. If your lawn
needs improving, spread fine rich loan one
inch thick all over it. Sow on that over
space, say thirty by forty feet, twenty-five
pounds of fine bone meal. two quarts of
gypsum, and half bushel Of fine salt.
Rake it thoroughly and as deep as possible
with fine toothed iron rake. If there are
any barren spots where the grass has been
worn or died out, cut them out, renew with
good fresh soil and put in new piece of
turf from some old pasture land. Do this
before raking or the putting on of appro-
pirate food for the grass. This is better,
and does not offend the sight like cover
ing of coarse manure, so frequently seen.
1t will bring in the grass more thickly and
vigorously, witha deep, rich color, and the
frequent clipping viii make it even and
velvety. 1t viii be charm for yourself
and family, not only, but for a whole
neighborhood and the passing stranger
Let every one who has any space about his
house devote it to this purpose, and help
make these spots more common, and our
village all the more attractive.

TEMPERANCE.
Result Of the Great Work
in this Vicinity.

Orwell has also started in the temper
snce work.
Our jefferson friends are in the full
tide of the temperance reformation; we
have not the number of signors, but it can
moi fall below some four or five hundred.
Mr.. John Masena reports /, 800 Mur-
ply signers in acknowledgements.
Ashtabula is doing nobly, but John re-
ports about 500 more signers than there re-
ally are.
The members of our Union have put
on the ''blue ribbon" badge. They will,
therefore, be able to recognize one another
whenever met, by this simple designation
Blue ribbon and blue glass ought to keep
us in pretty wholesome condition.
The Temperance wave has just reach
ed PainesYille, and couple of the followers
of Murphy paid that place visit on Tues
day evening last, and the work was began
with the sane marvellous surroundings,
that have marked the movement almost in
variably, wherever an effort has been put
forth. 1t is making all the world akin.
Our Harbor Union friends contemplate
a sort of festival dedication of their new
hall. in Halls block. at an early day. The
hall is now receiving its walls, and will
soon be turned over for furnishing and oc-
cupation. The ladies of that Union pro-
pose to furnish the creature comforts for
the occasion, and they will look to their
uptown neighbors for their presence and
help TO make proper disposition of them.
We are not fully advised as to the features
of this step, but trust they will make ii
contribute to meeting the expense of fur
nishing the hall, by giving all a chance to
leave small sum in return for the enter
tainment.

Breathing M Iasma without Injury
There is no exaggeration in the statement
that thousands of persons residing from one
years end to another in fever and ague re-
gions on this continent or elsewhere, breathe
air more or less impregnated with miasma,
without incurring the disease, simply and
only because they are in the habit OF using
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as preventive.
It has frequently happened and the fact has
been amply attested by the parties them
selves, that persons surrounded on ali sides
by neighbOrs suffering the tortures of this
shivering and burning plague, have enjoyed
absolute immunity from II, thanks to the pro-
lection afforded by the Bitters, Nor is that
