MARCH 4th, 1878.
Why not manipulate" the pen and
send tidings from Salem. A winter Of
unusual clemency has Just gone, leay-
ing us standing upon the threshold Of
spring, listening to the blue bird and
robin, and looking over green-tinted
fields bathed in gentle showers. EV-
erything bespeaks an early spring and
the farmer like Scotia's sweetest bard"
is already seen following the plow-tail
But mud sticks and stays with us
yet and is the principal ingredient
found in the roads, rendering the going
execra5le. If you ride you are bespat-
tered with mud, to say nothing Of mud
covered team and vehicle; if you walk
mud cleaves unto your feet, and your
rubbers repose in mud. Mad is expe-
rienced indoors and out: mud is trying
the patience Of everybody; and is de-
tested, complained OF, talked of, and in
fact it seems unnecessary for one to
throw mud since every one is getting
his share without.
Now is the time when district schools
are drawing to close. Last Friday
was the last day Of Mr.. Harry Browns
school at the centor. A large number
Of visitors was present who felt it a
privilege to be there. The school per
Taded with the spirit Of love and kind
ness also gave evidence of thorough
discipline during the past term. The
pupils who highly esteemed and appre-
ciated their teacher, presented him
with q nice album, and the school
closed with mingled regrets and tears.
Friday evening Of last week some Of
the teachers of Salem and their disoi-
pies, aided by Suft, Mahoney, gave a
literary entertainment at Salem Sta
ton. The, exercises consisted in
music, reading and speaking, all rem
dered in a pleasing manner, and APP
plauded by an intelligent audience
Enjoying such q delicious treat one at
Least Of the audience wondered and
still the wonder grew, why entertain
ments OF the same kind are not more
frequent occurrence at she Station.
When Salem is spangled with so many
stars it is rather surprising that they
do not form themselves into d bright
constellation, not merely for the pur-
pose Of shining in the literary firma-
ment but for mutual Improvement.
Last Tuesday evening Mr.. N. NJ.
Burgess writing school expired. His
pupils having been under excellent in
struction for some weeks were graft
fed to see their hand greatly improv-
ed. The judges decided that Miss
Jane Prosser had made the most i'm
proEement, and Mr.. John Mahoney's
hand showed the pain for best pen
manship.
