H.7RTFORD LOCALS.

From Our Own Correspondent.
L. r. Odds has ten acre lot filed with fat
hogs which he is holding until the market rises.
Guess he'll have to wait till the thermometer
falls few degrees. Farmers here are afraid
that potatoes will sprout In the holes, on ac-
count OF the warm, damp weather.
Last Friday evening Mrs. Loutet, Of revolver
fame was out on another tare," and made
our streets echo with her hdeous yels. 1t
seems her high-toned nervous system had re-
ceived terrible shock, and she was out search
ing for the offenders-the editor and one of
her neighbors-to whom she promised bullets
and death. For the safety OF community such
people should be placed where they can wreak
their vengeance on iron bars only We believe
she has been placed under bonds to keep the
peace.
Saturday our town was jammed full Of peo-
pie, and many and beautiful were the presents
carried home for Christmas. Among those
who spent their money for " tangle-foot." in
stead OF something to make the hearts Of their
friends glad, were two young men from the
south east part OF the town, who yelled and
hooted around like couple of young savages,
whipping and racing their teams through the
streets till the Thanksgiving his eye on
them-ordered them to leave town, which they
Immediately did. What a pity We have no lock-
up to put such rowdies in On Monday came
the sequence. One OF these same disturbers
of the peace, hearing or fearing that he was
about to be arrested, came to town. rushed to
T. E.l 4.
at table with some Of the city council around
him, cried out, "For G. sake, Squire, don't
60 any further with that warrant, I'm here,
penitent and will pay any fine you demand, If
you only won't go any further. / know l de.
serve punishment. and will try and do better IN
the future" So the Board counseled together
and concluded to let him off for FIVE dollars
He paid the fine and walked off, feeling so glad
to think he had escaped that warrant and here
is where the laugh comes n,-as the warrant
being prepared was for another person entire
" Now that other tipler had better follow
his example and come and settle up, as these
offenders are no longer to be winked at IN this
town.
Three Christmas trees here Christmas eve,
and all we'll attended. The Methodist church
was beautifully decorated, had house full,
plenty OF music and tableaux. Nearly fifteen
dollars were taken as door fec, and Elder
Reese was made happy by the presentation of
purse Of twenty-five dollars. Plenty of
Christmas dinners all through the town. and a
small dancing party at Reynolds Hall. Also, a
wooden wedding at Fred seymour's. Lots of
| fun.

Own Correspondent

From Our Own Correspondent.
or ali winter amusenents for both pront and
pleasure there are mono more profitable than
good. properly conducted lyceums. Perhaps
there never WAS time when there were more
of these organizations IN the country than the
present winter. Nearly every properly ar
ranged school supports one. People VIII 90
farther, face moro storms. and enjoy them
selves more to attend meeting where short
speeches are TO be made by several, or where
all may take part, than they will to hear q
long speech from only one person.
BY special request and in the interest OF our
lyceum, give brief account Of the Wsiring
Lyceum, held every Tuesday evening at the
Myers School House in Wsverly. Being in a
farming community, It seemed very proper to
nsme 1t after . man who has done a. much
good ~ any man in America, perhaps, for az
riculture. Before the interest that now is
manifest Was awakened 1t WAS only for pay
that the older scholars were induced to take
part in rhetoricals IN school. Gaining q little
confidence they went, reluctantly, into lyceum
work, until they learned something Of it. The
scholars were so greatly encouraged that from
private We soon rose to IN open, interesting
and, trust, profitable lyceum. Many parents
who at that time either manifested no interest
or were opposed to II entirely, are now inter-
ested The only trouble now, go far as interest
is concerned, IL to find place to put people
There are so many requisites for good de-
batting club that 1t is only by constant work
and practical ability they can all be met. iGood
officers. good order, live and interesting ques-
tons, some amusing or even comical exercises,
and above oil prompt response to calls for
work on the part Of the members is necessary.
Regular evenings and hours for meeting and
adjourning should not be overlooked. AS a
general thing, the less regular, miscellaneous
and new business there is to take up the time
the batter Good debates, several speakers,
and short time for each, with some declama-
tions, essays, music and lyceum paper, make
the most interesting and profitable means of
taking up the time. Programmes In our lyce-
um are prepared and gwen by committee ap-
pointed for that purpose. Questions some
thing like the following are generally selected {:
Resolved, That farming is the most desirable
OF all occupations.
Resolved, That wages for labor should be
regulated by law,
Resolved, That intemperance causes more
crime and misery than extravaganza,
Resolved. That the farmer should be as
highly educated as man in any profession.
Much depends on the kind Of questions. We
believe that scholars will manifest more in
terest in school, will learn more, think more Of
themselves, and gain an ability that will serve
them we'll in life where all else fails il they are
permitted to do . good amount OF lyceum work
every winter. Why should not teachers en-
courage them? Scholars that can speak in
lyceum as ours all do, will find little trouble to
recite their lessons common complaint.
