DEAR SIR:-Items are not 80 verv
plenteous this week, Tbut we take
pleasure in sending those we have.
Our schools have commenced again
under charge of the previous teachers.
The services at the NJ. E. church
were not very well attended, on ac-
count Of the rain. The text was Luke
14-1S, Il pray thee have me excused
No less than ten common, simple ex-
cuses were commented on, among
which were, inc ficiency, lack Of time
worldly cares, the inconsistencies
which disfigure the lives of some
Christians, etc. There was no servi-
ces at the Congregational church.
Next Sabbath, tomorrow the Rev.
pastor Of the Congregational
church, will occupy the NJ. E. pulpit.
The butcher shop under charge Of
Messrs. Arnold & Herrlck was opened
this week. They have had good luck
so far, and we trust it will continue.
The need of a good butcher shop has
ong been felt by this, community.
Their shop is situated opposite the P.
D., and is well adapted to the business.
They have good ice-room for sum-
ner use, and all tools needed for that
rade. Give them q call, for good
way to test the pudding is to chew the
tring."
Mr.. Dow Vincent has been making
lew fences on his farm. We expect

een having holiday this week. Good
friday was well observed.
We hear base ball club has been
rganized, but not being as inquisitive
S most reporters, have not learned

1t is the glory of our republican form
OF government that it permits and fos-
ters f5gls purpose of nature; it is the
greatest fault of our graded school
system, when too rigidly adheared to,
that it antagonizes it. In the hands of

cy is, continually, to sacrifice the pu-
pills individuality to the despotism of
routine, and public convenience and
economy.
All our best educators deprecate
this tendency, and resort to various ex-
pedients to counterfeit it. But it is an
inseparable incident of the graded
system which can only be moderated,
not eliminated. The most that can be
hoped for is that by notifications of
the system the evil force of this
tendency may be reduced to something
less than the value of the stimulus
which class-exercises supply, and the
pecuniary saving to parents and tax
payers.

That Good Shot.

If you lhave ever noticed joyial indi :
viduaL slightly below medium size, with a
blue suit, and attended generally by a
we'll known physician, as a sort of body
guard, you have met the subject of this
item. He belongs to our gun CLUB. and is
among its most ambitious members, but
until recently has not praeticed much at
the glass ball business. He is one of those
con6ding individuals who, in their goodness
of heart, continues to overestimate the
chances and, well-get left. So it was
with this one, be was anxious TO shoot; he
wanted practice but he did not want the
boys to find it out; it would give them the
laugh on him, he was considered good
shot. but still. somehow he lacked conf
dence in the glassbal business. Then,
besides, match was to occur soon and he
did not propose to be beat. He quietly
insinuated to some of the poorest shots in
the club, how nice it would be to take a
little turn at the trigger. no use, they
could not afford to waste their time. So
he hunts up a sound boy and wanders
through the alleys and across the lots TO the
shooting grounds and then, satisfy
ing himself that the coast is
clear, puts on bold front and
challenges" that poor, innocent boy
to pull the trigger. As an inducement, he
tells tie youth, that it will be splendid
practice for him (the boy) to shoot with a
tirst-cass shot; that opportunities like this
do not often occur, and finally persuaded the
boy to consent. Well. the match pro
crosses, but, somehow. the boy was the
instructor and our good shot, the one
that pro6ted thereby Well to finish ur
he (good shot was beaten, and then ht
gave the boy Is cents and cigar-not t
say anything about, you know, and eau
tiously wendell his way home by a circuit
Gus route; to hunt his medical attendant
and caution him not to give it away" L
leaked out however, and last night he wa
busy trying to bribe the boys not to believ
it; but it wouldn't work, it was too good
joke on the good shot who in tutur
will be very careful not to tackle, innocen
boy" for the sake of giving them prestige

If PEsTERED by an Eruption. use
GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP, the ruling speci-
tic for disease, irritation aud abrasious of
the skin, and a most salutary beauti6er of
the complexion. This admirable article is
an inexpensive substitute for sulphur baths,
and is equally as effective in banishing
cutaneous maladies, and relieving the
pangs OF rhematism and govt. Redress
and roughness, tan, freekles, pimples, and
indeed every imperfection of the cuticle is
entirely removed by it. 1t is avouched,
by ladies who have used, to be the most
effective means of clarifying and softening
the skin that they have ever employed; its
health promoting properties are widely
recognized by medical men. and evidence
in ats behalf, emenating from other and
equally respectable sources, precludes any
reasonable doubt as TO the genuineness OF
it's claims to public confidence. Clothing
and linen from the sick room are disiufect-
ed by it, and it prevents contaglon when
the danger OF obnoxious disease has been
incurred by contact. Sores and ulcers,
that resist the operation of salves and To-
items, are healed by it, and it soon relieves
the swelling aud pain caused by bruises
and sprains. The opening of the pores,
resulting from the wholesome stimulation
of the superficial blood vessels that it pro-
duces, is the effect best calculated t. case
the circulation when overheated, and carry
those offensive granulations which dlshgure
the cuticle and render existence state OF

Out of Tune.

out Of tune" The same may be said of
that far more wonderful and complicated
peace of mechanism. the human structure,
when it becomes disordered. Not only
actual disease. but those far more common
causes, overwork, mental anxiety, and fast
living, may impair its vigor and activity.
The best remedy for partial collapse OF
the vital energies, from these as from
other causes, is Hostetter's Stomach Bit

and mind cheering cordial, and the best
possible invigorant in all cases of debility.
