We wish again to remind the people
of Morristown that Academies and Col
leges improve business, and supply an
amount of money which builds up trade
Trade employs more men in other
branches, aud thus the community
grows. Their influence is felt by the
rich and poor. If there is more trade
there is more work. If there is more
growth there is more houses to be built
If there is learning and culture, more
families will come, and there will be a
healthy growth resulting from that be-
ginEing, and the laborer, the mechanic,
the artisan, the merchant-all feel it,
Colleges and Academies make cultivated
substantial communities. Our children
grow up with better influences, more re-
fined enjoyments, fewer temptations to
vice, more capacity for refined enjoy
ments, more training for earnest hard
work Schools OF high character en-
tice immigrants, bring sturdy laborers,
skilled and educated laborers who will
not go where their children cannot have
advantages they have had themselves.
They tend to draw class of honest,
prudent, go-a-head. live, law-abidlng,
laboring men, and men of all business
whom we need and want. The Morris
town Male and Female High Schools are
institutions as now organized offering
superior advantages for thor
ough and economical education, but il
we would accomplish their possibilities,
our people must go earnestly and har-
moniously to work in aiding to extend
patronage that will insure a perfect
success. The next session of the Nor
ristown Male and Female School will
begin next Monday. September I'd.

THE YELLOW FEVER

The latestreports from the scourge
stricken cities of New Orleans,
Vicksburg. Memphis and Grenada
leave little hope for the speedy
abatement of the disease. In New
Orleans there were LOG new cases
reported Saturday morning, but it
is claimed that the percentage of
mortality is only % per cent. Fifty
new cases and 20 deaths are report
ed the oath in Vicksburg. In that
city the disease is spreading and
now no part Of the city is free from
the disease. The restitution and
suffering is very great. The situa'
ton at Grenada, Miss, is heart
rending in the extreme. At Canton,
out of a population of $500. the
town is depopulated, and the ne
groes are falling like sheep. Al
New Orleans, on the oath, there
were one hundred and ninety-three
new cases, and forty-two deaths. AT
Memphis, one hundred new cases
Contributions for the sufferers in
the different localities are pouring in
from all quarters of the country.

if he had not been pretty certain.
Mr.. Sibjey gave his arm to his wife,
with cordiality which she felt. She
knew the heart that was beating behind
it. But she neither lectured, nor preached
nor said-"Fred, am glad you took my
advice and came to church, She only
looked peaceful and happy, and remarked
that it was delightful that Harry loved
his home so much.

himself behind the kitchen door, where
he could not see nor be seen, while he

ISan Jose Herald-Argus. |

William G. LIE Due, an obscure author of
Washington, D. c., has forwarded to us q
large volume of poems in the blankest
kind of verse on the most absurd subjects.
We suppose he wants us to gush about the
tender pathos, rhythmical measure, and
elevated sentiments of the following:
The chinch-bug is confined in it's depreda-
lions
To the grasses and cereals; alternate
Your timothy. wheat, barley. corn. etc.
Upon which it fourishes, with any of
The numerous crops upon which it cannot
flourish
And you materially affect it's power for harm.
Or maybe he would like to have full
some compliment on the classic beauty Of
such incomprehensible trash as this:
Bombus pennsylyanicus is figured
These insects are destroyed
Byvollceilous, conops, or tach1na,
And several species of anthomla;
Anthras (diptera) anobrium, beetle,
Meloe and slylops (coteopteri),
Antherophag1s (Holy Moses save us),
And also by he chalcis, or four-winged fly.
This last elegant epic is illustrated by
gaudy cuts OF Rocky mountains locust
Washers and patient horse power bug crush
ers, stolen from the patient office art gallery,
to say nothing of two full-page chromos of
creeping, crawling, and flying monsters of
terrific and demoniacal aspect, that must
have been conceived by some fearfully and
wonderfully intoxicated artist in the very
crisis of the jim jams. The book ought to
be suppressed at once. It is not only most
execrable piece of literary biaderdash, but
the extracts given above show that its tend
ency is to corrupt the morals of the youth
of this country and pander to the vitiated
taste for the sensational and false views of
life created in their minds by unrestricted
persual of the San Francisco papers. That
there may be no mistake, We will state that
this pernicious volume is entitled "Depart-
ment of Agriculture, 1877
