 To J. l.. Tease Esq, Canaan, Corn.-
 DEAR SIR:-I beg to announce an origl- nal proposition: viz, ''my wonders will nev- CT cease" Wss it ever known that a de- llnquent subscriber to newspaper would all At once send ten dollars 10 the editor i? Yet here is the money-always provided it is not stolen before it reaches it's destina- tlon.-Now Friend Pease. let me urge you not to be so elated over this sudden trans- tion from penury 10 affluence, as to rush into excess and extravagance; for even this sum so munificent ito an editor-would in such case dwlndle to an insignificant amount in an incredibly short space of time, leaving nothing but sad reflections and wreck of your former self. One word more see that some ''impecunlous cuss" from Sharon, too thin skinned to be dunned, and too honest to pay his debts without grumbing, has ordered his paper stopped. l am sorry to say that have looked in vain iD the obituary column for a final report of him, believing that the ex- cessiYe satisfaction he must feel at having so successfully circumvented a newspaper | editor, would result in his speedy promo tion to position 'sdown below" II he is still living he must be great sufferer-at least his neighbors are to be commiserated. Yours truly,
 JOHN Q ADAMS.
 Tour old friend ''John o." and who, by the way, has now become one of the most prominent lawyers in the west, certainly has our gratitude for his munifcent dona- tion. We don't know when the time will come that will admit of our doing SO, but we certainly have our plans mapped out for trip to that far away region, and we want to say to ''John o." to Tom Wells and those other fellows who went from this way, that when we do get to that land of copper and iron, we'll make it warm for lem for little while. They can bet their 4l2 1-2 grain copper dollars on that.-ED. Housaton1c, Mass.

 it was no worse......The lectures given by Mr. Barney on temperance in the M. E
 church last Sunday and Mond'y evening"
 were very interesting. Mr. Barney hal
 been for several years connected with al opera troupe in Canada, and knows jus how 10 come before the public, while hi
 operetic style and manner emphasizes hi
 words as he utlers them, 10 that exten
 that it pleases all who listen to him..... Clayton Damon, who is native of thi

 see him again some time......Rev. $. F
 White leaves us for Conference in a shor

 Shalon.-F1r the past week we hav
 had the most beautiful spring-ike days i'm
 aginable, and it is hard to realize it IS Onl,
 the first half of clustering March. Tn
 early birds are all here, farmers are blow
 ing, many are preparing their gardens fo
 planting, and everything betokens an earl. : spring. Where, I ask, is your ''Canad ! prophet" and all the snow we were to hay the early part of this month? For once h was mistaken. Mrs L. A. Bates an child had miraculous escape from injur. if not from death on Saturday morning As she was wheeling her baby down tn walk and had just reached the market nes the Pleasant View House, horse standin near the walk became frightened at th carriage. and instead of going from it, b sprang upon it and smashed it to atoms 9 yet the child was not injured in the least : and the mother only frightened. It wa very wonderful how they escaped ....Th temperance work is alill going on.
