Our district school closed, last Saturday. Miss Blake gave each of the scholars nice present.
 Mir. McAllister lectured again at the Bap- tist church, last Sunday evening"
 2. Some of our neighbors have been trying to induce other of our neighbors to believe that our postmaster, MT. Chas. Blake, violated the law by removing the wrapper from paper to be delivered at this office, suspected of contain ing matter subject to a higher rate of postage. 1 would say that Mir. Blake did remove the wrapper from such paper and found, to use his own words, "A pretty good letter written on the margin, upon which Mir. Blake charged the proper rate, and presented it to the person to whom it was addressed who with some pro- fanity declared he would not pay it. Now I would say that the law distinctly says it is the duty of the portmaster to remove the wrapper from such matter where it can be done without destroying it, and examine it to see if there is anything fraudulent in it. Furthermore the person who wrote upon the paper infringed the law and subjected himself to fine of $5 for each offense.
 We have gang of pretty thieves some- where not far away, as circumstances would indicate. Let me mention few of the many losses :"Mr. Chas. I. Page, has lost new scythe and snath Wm. J. Hull, a new bag and 100 lbs. of meal s. D. Page, six window glass taken from his house on the hill Mrs. Lucinda Jennings, crow bar ; Mrs. Ruth Jennings, fine steel crowbar Adam Baker, two bridles &c., &c.

Seven thunder showers have visited us, and much damage has been done by lightning: which was repeatedly chronicled, but the ter rife storm of Friday, Aug. 9th, passed by, though the one passing north of us was fear fully dark, and the constant roar as of thou sand cannon.

TIE ACME OF BIGOTRY.

ed at half-staf in token of mourning for the
death of Pope Plus TX. The concurrence of
the press in describing this "member of an
American Order" leaves hardly any room for
doubt that he was a spokesman from that most
illiberal, thoroughly un. American, and decided
Nv politicsl-for-sale-At-a At-any-price body, the
'"Order of the American Union," which, q few
weeks ago, met in convention" (Which means

on the death of Victor Emanuel-"beoause he

Thousand voters-snd that this convention

tton of the community have by this time found
out that this latter operation is the raiS0n
idctTe-the be-all and end-All-of the existence

are glad to see that Mayor Ely had plnck and

From the Prlce Current.


All our exchanges, from every State in tho
Union, como to us with tributes to tho mem
ory Of the deceased Pontiff, in which laymen
and clergymen of other religions denomiua-
stions have spontaneously united. In fact, q
considerable number of these pubishod mo
morisls have been from non Cath holics, promi-
7nent among which we cannot omit to notice
an article of nearly t,oo pages in the New York
Herald. contributed by the late distinguished
authoress, Louisa Mulbaoh.
Many of our Catholic friends have hoped,
and still hope, that some more permanent re-
lcord of their homage will be made by the
faithful in New Orleans, which will be ct the
same time commemorative of the deceased
and promotive of the sublime lesson Of Faith,
Hope and Charity SO forcibly, ardently, and

and private life of the good and great Pontif.

after his old enemy, Victor Emmanuel. In the
present dsorganized oanditlon of European
politics. with war waging in the East with
Ia new King just ssated on the throne of Italy
the death of the Pope, neoessitating as it does
the election of q successor, is only too likely
Ito produce most unfortunate results.
The present Pope has reiGned longer than
any of his predeceesors, not even excepting st
Peter himself; and passed through q most
varied and. exciting career. His life has in
deed been one of vicisstudes from its very be
ginning. His temporal power was twice lost,
in 1s4S and in 1870, aud more then once has his
life itself been in serious danger.
The personal charsctersof Plus TX was ire
lpToachable. No one, however bitterly opposed
to nim, bas ever whispered q word against him.
He was kind, Sffectionste and benevolent. He
obtained the respect of all, Catholic and Pro
