The writing school which ended so sud
denly, and has been so severely discussed,
was not altogether a failure. Mr.. Williams

died" at all. We cannot feel like ridiculing
or sneering at his appearance at the last les
son, but sin cerely pity him and his critics as
unfortunate, giving him credit for sufficient
penetration to perceive his mistake and kind
ness to relieve us of his presence-qualities
which many of our towns unfortunates do
not possess. ADDIE DAVIS.

Some of the owners are willing to build new
Sheds and some who are not owners would
like to build It is not lack of enterprise,
rs some suppose, that new sheds are not
built. Dummerston has enterprise. Get the
citizens Of this town to say. "Tll try" and

The church going citizens of this place may
have noticed last Sunday, long row of boys
seated on the stone steps at the entrance of

into church The only wonder is that they
will stick to that hard seat SO closely as not
to move when persons wish to pass in. Men
folks do not mind stepping over them, but
ladies object. Many ladies prefer alighting
from their carriages before reaching the stone
steps rather than submit to the ill-mannered
gazing propensity of that accustomed row of
squatter sovereignty. The numerous com
plants we hear on this subject suggested
these remarks.

about the matter. Cole few months ago
