THE HILLTOP OF LIFE.

4 magnificent outlook was before him.
Cherished hopes were clustering round him.
But few living men occupied larger space
in the public eye than Rev. DIR. James A.
Duncan. A great and good man has fallen.
While in his own Church he was loved by
all, such was his catholic spirit he enjoyed
the friendship and esteem OF allthe Churches.
He has left his impress on hundreds OF
young men that have gone out from Ran.
doIph-M Macon College. Being dead, he will
continue to speak, and the influence OF his
noble life will go sounding down the ages ::
"Ali other sounds die in yon rich sky;
They faint on hill, and field, and river:
Our echoes roll from soul to soul,
And live forever and forever

Lewis Sanborn has erected beautiful
set OF buildings on the site of those burn
ed last year, near the steam mill. | doubt
if there is q finer set OF farm buildings in
Bethel.
The apple crop must be light. Old
orchards are much discouraged and will
bear bat few apples, though some young
trees are loaded with fruit.
Strawberries are very scarce. Rasp-
berries and blueberries promise an album
dance. but long drouth may blight the
after. &. III. u.

Not many years ago, IN the northern
part OF what is known As Academy
Grant," a lady OF alllIeuce came and
built house. or il may more properly
finish and outward appearance; and also
a saw mill upon q stream running near
nv. the local position OF the expenditure
being dense forest. The owner has now
gone; the house is diIapdated; the mill
- in ruins, "A lew lemons OF the heavy
posts are lett sticking out from among
the dritted wood, the rest has been wash
ell away. The large. heavy stone abut-
ments are still there 10 mark the spot
where the mill once stood. At this place
the Pleasant River Reform Club decided
To have a picnic. and accordingly set
forth on Saturday. June 23l. accompan-
led by many friends. The day was tair.

ran high, aud at the close OF The day. i!

was found that some very thoughtful boys
had gone early. and were at hand with
abundance of trout, and utensils Tor cook
ing them. They were served at The
proper time with other delicious food,
upon a long table prepared for that pur-
pose. For amusements, some were play
ing croquet. others kept the swings IN
motion. A great portion were busy
watching the rest. After dinner tenn

Mr.. Geo. II. Brown of Mason was pres
emit. and favored US with eloquent remarks.
The occasion was one OF pleasantly and
harmony. An amusing incident occurred
in the morning. A naughty boy had been
telling ghost stories TO the young ladies
during the morning ride. and we suppose
these thoughts were uppermost IN the
minds OF the young ladies as they were
about to enter the house on an exploring
expedition-when 10! screech unearth-
ly rent the air. The young ladies had
never heard q ghost, and mistaking the
voices OF three little unfledged birds over
the door, who set up their cry for food as
they entered, horrible fright was the
result. PLEASANT RIVER.

Secretary MeCrary will attend the
Iowa republican convention, and may do
something to remove the opposition 10
the Presidents policy manifested among
Iowa republicans.
Is not this violating the new civil ser
vice rules Ii Custom House officer
or Post Master may not attend caucus
10 aid his party, why should Cabinet
Secretary be allowed to attend q State
convention for the purpose of removing
1.-THE opposition to the Presidents policy ~
Is the Presidents policy OF more value
than the party by whose labOrs he was
elevated to his high position: Ii it had
not been for the labors OF government
officials during the campaign OF 1876,
Rutherford b. Hayes would have been
defeated By 50 large msjJrity, that he
would have concluded be had not even
been voted for. President Hayes is not
doing the square thing by his party,
whatever his motives may be; and we
shall see that his opponents who are likely
10 succeed him il 1850, have no senti-
mentality about using the weapons he
has placed in their hands, not only to Sc
cure his defeat but to overthrow all his
high toned civil service regulations.
