CHURCH MusIc.-The finest music provided
by any church in the country is to be heard on
Sundays and holidays at st. Francis xsviers
in New York. Its organ and It's choir are alike
famous, and its services are crowded by both
the religious and the critical. The credit Of
this suberb preeminence belongs to the organ
ist, Professor Wm. Berge, music doctor, who
but little while ago, ruptured an artery in his
arm and had to abandon hs profession until
cured by Giles Liniment Iodde Ammonia.

tailed-in the authors best style. Two cnar'

fishing up the creek. They took their "horns'

it was pleasant drive, and they enjoyed the ex'

OUR SCHOOLS.

About eleven years ago Board Of School
Director Of this place decided to set aside a
fund for the purpose Of erecting two large and
substantial School Houses, to replace the rcke-
ty and unhealthy sheds that were in use at the
time. OF course the,e WAS much opposition
from a class who oppose all Improvements. But
the majority Of the Board persevered, and to-
day we have two Of the finest school buildings
In the State. On last Wednesday our common
schools closed, and as usual, entertainments
we're given to the public. The rooms were
crowded by parents and friends of the pupils
The programmes consisted Of music and
instrumental, recitations, dialogues, &c. The
selections showed the good taste Of the teachers,
and the execution was unusually good. In fact
the gymnastic performances Of the little ones
showed an astonishing memory for details, and
a. perfect time ~ the drill Of battalion of vet.
ersns. While witnessing the exercises, we
could not help contrasting our schools of twen-
| ty FIVE years ago, and the present.
Then we had rudely built school Shouses,
rough benches, bad text books, and the average
teacher was coarse and iliterate.
| Nop we have fine buildings the rooms which
are light and airy, and decorated with flowers
and pictures. The children are instructed b,
cultivated teachers, and it is the fault of the pu
pill il he does not obtain a sound education. Ont
word more parents and directors should vi-i
the schools more frequently. 1t is a check e'

On Monday night last at half past eleven
o'clock, William Peacock, an old and respect
ed citizen of this town, died at his residence
on Fifth street, aged about forty-seven years.
The death WAS unexpected, as Mr.. Peacock on
Saturday preceding was up town atten ding to
his business, though for several months past
he has been suffering from complication OF
diseases. His death is supposed to have been
produced by suffusion of blood on the chest,
caused by the rupture of blood vessel in ex'
csssivs vomiting.
Mr.. Peacock came to this town from Light
street about fifteen years ago and has since
occupied the position of book keeper with Nc
Kelvy, Neal 4 Co, and with l. W McKelv,
since the dissolution of that firm. He was Pre-
sident of the Mutual Building and Loan Asso
citation, one of the Managers of the Gas Com
pany, and WAS identified with many other in
stitutions and enterprises of the town. His fu
neral took place on Thursday morning at tel
O. clock from his late residence. The service
were conducted by the Odd Fellows, OF whic
he was member Of high standing the Knight
Templar acting as an escort. A large concours
| of citizens followed the remains to Rosemer
Cemetery where the burial took place.

Hon. +. L. Shuman and Mr.. Reuben Shuman
had narrow escape from serious injury on
Sunday morning last, by being thrown from
buggy caused by runaway horse. They were
driving along the road in the vicinity of PARIS
Mill in Franklin township, when the horse be-
came frightened and sprang to one side of the
road, up steep bank overturning the buggy
and spilling its occupants, and then running
over to the other side of the road, up the bank
and tearing through space of about four feet
between school house and rail fence throw
ing down several panels Of the same. When
the gentlemen were thrown out, Mr.. Reuben
Shuman was driving, and thinking he could
stop the horse held on to the lines and wa'
dragged across the road together with the bug
gy. Fortunately he let 60 the lines before th'
horse struck the fence but not until he was Gu
and bruised considerable about his head an'
face. The Hon. f. l.. Shuman escaped with
cut on the knee and sprained back. The bug
~ was a total wreck and when the hors
stopped he was in field and entirely Olsen
gagged from the buggy.-Cdtawissa Item.
