SABBATH SoHooL.-The class taught by Mrs. Edward Norton (the youngest members of the schooD, had become so large, that it was last Sunday, divided into three classes Miss Amy Gaylord and Miss Anna Beach taking the new classes.
 CENTER SoHooL.-Miss Eliza Herald has closed her six months school, and expects to teach the West Goshen School, the coming season and Miss Ella Beach began at East Street. Monday.
 FLOWERS IN CHURCH. Miss Cynthia White brought collection of beautiful flowers, ar ranged in the form of an anchor, (the emblem of hope) picked from the garden, no frost having yet touched them.
 ENTERTAINMENT.-This came off, last We'd nesday evening, under the superintendence of MT. Clarence N. Brewster. It consisted of a few very fine tableaux, followed by .tthe Drunkard's Warning" acted by our young people. MT. Charles Stocking took a very important part, and he and the others acted their parts in such a way that it was CO UuL LudL we saw the young husband tempted by his con- panions to take one more drink, and how he went down, down, bringing misery to his love- ly wife and child; how his friend tried to save him, and how the two young men who tempt ed him grew worse and worse, their clothes all rags wandering about trying to get seme- thing to drink and how they at last found themselves in prison for stealing, But after the husband had committed a forgery to raise money for drink, he reformed and there was joy and gladness in his house. The moral ef- feet of the whole was very good. Two young men gave US dialogue, ''the Doctor" which was also very good. The proceeds go for the promotion Of the cause of Temperance. Miss Octavia Wadhams presided at the organ, and such music as we had from the Milton string Band, led by MT, Almon J. Beach, who with out compensation did their part admirably: There were seven violns besides the organ.

Several times during the past year we have had occasion to writea name in our letters to the Enquirer which has never yet appeared correctly in print. Some letter wonld be left out and another substituted, which would en- tirely change the sense. Pronounced properly, the name is not unpleasant, though peculiar. It ends with two Ss, and the last time an 7 was used in the place of the last one,-and what a name Well, out of regard to the feelings of the young lady bearing the name (who is sojourning with us) we concluded that it was best never to have It appearin our letters again lest the last might be worse than the first. But when the printer made us say, last week, that Wm. F. Curtiss had gone west to be ''observ- ed" several months, language fails to express our feelings.

parrot who was more than 100 years
old, This aged fellow could speak
in n real language which was known
to have been used by. a tribe of
South American Indians who, it is
supposed, petted and taught him
when he was yOhng. One by one
the Indians died, until there was
no one left who could understand a
word of their language. The poor
old bird tried hard to keep cheerful,
bnt there were sorry times when he
would NOPE BY himself and say over
some of the words Of the language
that had been spoken by his earliest
and dearest human friends.-M
